I am not a Covid denier. I am a lockdown denier. I deny the right of the government to lock down healthy people. I deny curfews, and travel bans, and business closures. I deny shuttered churches. I deny dying alone. I deny cruelty to children. I deny forced family separation.

So, @AnaKasparian (Left-wing) and @NickJFuentes (Far-right) market themselves as opposites but then you see them side by side, saying THE EXACT SAME THING... You cannot unwatch this. 👀

@GamewithDave Tetris.

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@joelmowbray @MaxNordau @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow Tucker Carlson always has his nose to the wind. And the stench of Holocaust denial is everywhere these days.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — Tucker Carlson won't say that Hitler murdered 6 million Jews. Based on my own long ago conversation with him, this isn't some weird fluke. Tucker simply doesn't believe the Nazis slaughtered six million Jews. So, is Tucker a Holocaust denier? Yesterday, Tucker said that "the Nazi government murdered... a whole bunch of Jews," but stressed that this was "in addition to a whole bunch of other people." He expressed outrage that Jewish victims of Hitler receive so much attention because they were "only... one specific ethnicity" murdered by the Nazis. Last month, Tucker told Clayton Morris, "Hitler killed a ton of people, including a ton of Jews." Despite extensive research, I could not find a single example of Tucker acknowledging the extraordinarily well-documented fact that six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. Which brings me to a private conversation Tucker and I had maybe 15 years ago, one which I had written off at the time — but in hindsight, probably shouldn't have. (We've never been close, but would chat if we ran into each other.) For some reason, I think because I had just toured Yad Vashem, I mentioned to him how mind-boggling it is that the Nazis murdered six million Jews. Tucker shot me a strange look, almost incredulous. Sarcastically, I quipped, "You’re not one of those nutjobs who don't believe that six million Jews died, are you?" Instead of a jabbing back or acting indignant, Tucker responded, "I mean, whatever, Hitler killed a bunch of different people." It was awkward, enough so that I dropped it and quickly exited the conversation. I've thought about that a few times over the years, but couldn't bring myself to the idea that Tucker was any sort of a Holocaust denier. Now, though? The most charitable interpretation is that he's not bothered by people who downplay or minimize what the Nazis did specifically to the Jews. But by continually refusing to acknowledge that Hitler killed six million Jews, that at least borders on Holocaust denial. Even Megyn Kelly recognized that denying the full scope of what Hitler did to the Jews IS a form of Holocaust denial, at least before she became Tucker's self-appointed guardian. In her now-infamous show in front of a live audience last November, Megyn pressed him about why he "didn't raise" with Nick Fuentes his ongoing contention "that we’ve way overstated the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust." Tucker responded, "Buzz off!" The likelihood that Tucker, at least to some significant degree, is a Holocaust denier is reinforced by something else he said last month to Clayton Morris. He bizarrely claimed that Hitler hadn't "ever" called to "exterminate" the Jews, despite ample historical evidence that he (and Nazi leadership) had done exactly that. Even more shocking is that he said this as part of his argument that Hitler's rhetoric wasn't as extreme as — wait for it — Bibi Netanyahu's. Then, of course, there's the viral story that I broke last November regarding Tucker's warning that "calling people Nazis" could make people become like Dietrich Bonhoeffer — specifically that it was tragic that the Lutheran pastor had been involved in plotting to assassinate Hitler. During the middle of World War II and the Holocaust, to be clear. Like most people who have known Tucker — who is incredibly charming and often warm in person — it took me a very long time to realize that how dark some of his views truly are. But look again at just this partial track record: (1) refusing to state that Hitler murdered six million Jews, (2) denying that Hitler had ever called to exterminate the Jews, (3) insisting that Bibi's rhetoric is worse than Hitler’s, and (4) that attempting to assassinate Hitler during WWII was un-Christian and just wrong. Maybe any one of those could be explained away. But all of them together? Because, make no mistake, Tucker knows exactly what he's doing. That is probably what's scariest of all.

So the past two number one WNBA draft picks are in a lesbian relationship and now play together for the same team? And both of them are refusing to talk about it? Wow. Can you imagine if back to back number one draft picks in a male pro sport were on the same team and dating?

This day (April 16) in 1948, the British withdrew from Safed & 100s of Arabs immediately attacked the city’s ancient Jewish community. The Arab commander cabled the Arab Liberation Army: “Our morale is very high, the young people are enthusiastic, we’re going to massacre them." The outnumbered Jews chose to stay and fight rather than flee; and, along with a small garrison of Haganah fighters, they managed to repel the attack. The Arab assault was part of the “civil war” portion of the 1948 War that was launched the moment the UN voted to partition Mandate Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state on November 29, 1947. From day one, the Arabs rejected any Jewish state on any part of the Land. In fact, on this same day (April 16, 1948), as Arab armies massed on the borders to invade the day the British Mandate ended, Jamal Husseini - acting chairman of the Arab Higher Committee - told the UN Security Council: “The representative of the Jewish Agency told us yesterday that they were not the attackers, that the Arabs had begun the fighting. We did not deny this. We told the whole world that we were going to fight.” And “fight” they did. The Arabs answered the UN vote with immediate terror: buses ambushed, passengers shot, the Jewish market in Jerusalem stormed with Arabs armed with knives and axes, entire convoys wiped out on the roads with no prisoners taken and corpses mutilated. Jewish civilians were dying at a rate of more than fifty per week. By March 1948, the Arabs were winning the “battle for the roads” and had the Jewish population on the verge of strangulation and, in Jewish Jerusalem, starvation. This is where the wildly misunderstood Plan Dalet came into effect. It was a desperate military counter-offensive to reopen supply lines and prevent total annihilation. It was never a “blueprint for expulsion” as propagandists like to claim. The real ethnic cleansing intent came expressly and proudly from the Arabs whose war cry was literally: Itbah al Yahoud! — “Slaughter the Jews!” On May 14, 1948, Israel declared independence. The next day, five Arab armies invaded with the explicit goal of wiping the Jewish state off the map before it could even breathe. They failed. That failure is what Arabs originally called the "Nakba" — “the catastrophe.” Its original use had exactly nothing to do with “refugees,” but was meant to give a word to the humiliating Arab failure to destroy the wildly outnumbered Jews and prevent Israel from being born. In reality, the vast majority of local Arabs fled before Israeli forces arrived, urged on by their own leaders who promised a quick victory and return. Those who stayed, by the way, became full citizens of Israel with equal rights; and they make up more than 20% of Israel's population today. Perhaps most importantly, there would NEVER have been a single refugee had the Arabs accepted the UN partition and/or chosen not to invade with genocidal intent. Like so many anti-Israel narratives that reverse cause and effect today, the “Nakba” narrative inverts aggressor and victim. It erases the fact that the Jews were fighting for survival against a war of annihilation explicitly declared by the Arabs from day one. What are some other ways cause and effect is reversed in modern anti-Israel discourse? Let me know your thoughts below.

Terms used across the Arab world on a daily basis: انشالله اليهود ولا أنت “May it be the Jews, not you.” A phrase used to wish harm away from someone you love. الله يلعن اليهود “May Allah curse the Jews.” Used casually, like when someone forgets something, similar to saying “oh shit.” والله لو أنا يهودي ما بتعاملني هيك “Even if I were a Jew, you wouldn’t treat me like this.” Expressing hurt or disappointment هذا يهودي “He is a Jew.” Used to describe someone perceived as mean or harsh.

If you think our videos are good at @xx_xyathletics, wait til you try wearing our gear! C'mon try a t-shirt! A hat? Shorts?

Megan Rapinoe asks if we’re “whittling it down to a certain kind of woman” in women’s sports. Hope this clears it up.

If you walk through an Israeli cemetery, you’ll notice something different. On the graves of Holocaust survivors, below their own names, there are often lists of others. These are their parents, brothers, and sisters who were murdered by the Nazis, etched into the stone because they never received a grave of their own. My grandparents’ headstones bear their names, and in their case as well, the slabs below carry the names of their siblings who were murdered in the Holocaust and denied a final resting place. For survivors, their own grave became a memorial for an entire family wiped out. It is a way to defy the Nazis’ attempt to erase them from history. It gives us, the grandchildren, a physical place to light a candle and say: “You existed. You are part of us.” But there are those with no grave and no name carved into stone, because no one was left to write their names. Our job is to be their memory. We remember those who have a name on a stone, and those who do not. May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

@Witchfinder6669 It is.

@DanielKotzin Im sure the boy in the pic is current National Team player Tanner Tessmann

In 2017, a club soccer team composed of 14 and 15-year-old boys beat the U.S. Women’s National Team by a score of 5 - 2. Megan Rapinoe played in that game. She knows that there are literally thousands of teenage boys in America who are better players than she was in her prime.

@DaveDaucher Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird do not care about other women. Nor do they care about women’s sports.

@DanielKotzin What I don't get ... what motivates Rapinoe to do this? Is it just TDS? She must know that every major women's sport opened up to XYs would result in XYs dominating ... soccer, basketball, tennis, swimming, volleyball, softball, track, etc. Why would she and Sue Bird do this?

@Saul_Sadka Who is Isla Fisher?

Once you go Cohen...

@CANMNT4Life @JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics Why don’t you post using your real name as I do?

@DanielKotzin @JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics And you'll be forgotten the second you have breathed your last...

If Megan Rapinoe had to play soccer against men, no one would know her name.

@CANMNT4Life @JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics Meghan Rapinoe will be long remembered as a shameless hypocrite.

@DanielKotzin @JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics People will remember her name long after you've taken the dirt-nap, Danny...

Mein Kampf has been one of the most sold books in Arabic libraries for more than a generation; and I say this from personal experience, not from statistics. Three of my uncles in Lebanon were book publishers. Growing up, I attended Arabic book fairs every year. And I remember clearly that among the first books my hands fell on as a young Muslim in Lebanon were the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Mein Kampf; books I read before I ever read the Quran, because my parents were liberal Arab nationalists, not devout Muslims. This is not an abstraction. This is the culture that Arab and Muslim children grow up swimming in.

@elonmusk Hey @elonmusk why would you get vaccinated shortly AFTER you had a disease? That makes no sense.

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

So, the smartest person in the world got multiple vaccine shots for a disease a few months after he had the disease? Why? That’s not smart, that’s retarded.
