Wow: x I joined @JackPosobiec on @OANN to discuss why I had to call out the BLM political organization — and why the woke mob is trying to cancel me.

George Soros's son speaks out forcefully
in an op ed piece at NBC titled My father, George Soros, is white supremacists' favorite target. But they won't stop us with the subtitle of “The surge in online smears of my father and me amid the Black Lives Matter movement is simply one more installment in a long, ugly story.” Alexander Soros is…
Yesterday Trump said famed anti-Semite Henry Ford had 'good bloodlines'; today, Biden's a 'racist'
I knew this would happen. Knew it, knew it, knew it. Because Donald Trump’s clear penchant for racism, misogyny, perversion, incompetence, buffoonery, and just plain evil is no longer news, we’re apparently going to put Joe Biden under a microscope and parse every word he utters that isn’t meticulously scripted and focus-grouped. Today he said something…
They Were Over Six Feet Apart, Says Trump (Who Also Ignored Anti-Semitic Signs)
Above is a photo of a protest crowd today at Olympia, WA. Trump says he watched the protests (not specifically this one), and… “I watched the protest and they were all six feet apart,” Trump said at Sunday’s coronavirus task force briefing. “It was a very orderly group of people.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/… Maybe he meant “six…
Trump, Anti-Semitism, and the Apocalypse
This is going to seem a little screwy, but given the age we’re living through, it may fit right in. I am concerned whether some of Trump’s actions are deliberately or unintentionally abetting the desire of his millennialist backers (John Hagee in particular) to see the apocalypse. This will happen, according to these believers, when…
The Republicans' Jewish problem
Here are some friendly words of advice to my Republican friends eager to regurgitate Donald Trump’s talking point about the Democratic Party being “anti-Jewish.” Before you hold up Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar as the poster child for anti-Semitic tropes, note that Trump himself already occupies that space. After all, he told those “good negotiator” Jewish…
CO-Sen: “We don’t need more Jews in office.”
As you know, I like to share a lot of campaign e-mails from incumbents and candidates because I want to get folks involved and active in Democrats’ campaigns. One of the many e-mails I received today came from former Colorado House Speaker and U.S. Senate candidate, Andrew Romanoff (D. CO), who recently faced Anti-Semitism on the…
Trump says 'Democrats hate Jewish people,' claims he actually said 'Tim Cook Apple'
The crazy is strong in this one, Obi-Wan. Axios has the inside scoop on Donald Trump’s speech to RNC donors at Mar-a-Lago Friday night, and take it from me, it’s a big bowl of bonkers. Some highlights: Referring to the recent anti-semitism controversies with Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, Trump told the donors: “The Democrats hate Jewish…
MN-05: Democracy for America & Progressive Change Campaign Committee Stand With Ilhan Omar (D)
Received two e-mails yesterday in support of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D. MN-05). The first one from Democracy for America: Since her election, Rep. Ilhan Omar has been an prime target for white supremacists on the right. Posters linking her to the 9/11 attacks were hung in the West Virginia Capitol, death threats fill her inbox…
Trump demands Omar resign over anti-Semitic tropes. Himself? Not so much
Never one to miss an opportunity to get his hate on, Donald Trump on Tuesday demanded Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) resign over her unfortunate “all about the Benjamins” comment. Calling her well-received apology “lame,” Trump complained, “Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress. I think she should either resign from Congress or she…
IA-Sen: Rolling Stone, “Republicans Are Only Pretending to Care That Steve King (R) Is a Racist”
Kudos to Rolling Stone for this great piece: x I condemn Rep. Steve King’s comments on white supremacy; they are offensive and racist – and not representative of our state of Iowa. We are a great nation and this divisiveness is hurting everyone. We cannot continue down this path if we want to continue to…
I Was Looking Up Some Information About Sheldon Adelson When I Came Upon This…
I’m not Jewish, so I’m not plugged into Jewish culture. I’m just a boring, older white guy from the South. But I couldn’t help but think of the anti-semitism of Trump and his supporters. George Soros and several other big contributors to Democratic causes are being singled out as enemies, and I would not be…
The Victims
x The victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre—murdered on a Shabbat morning in the middle of America—included two brothers in their fifties, a couple in their eighties, and a 97-year-old woman. There are simply no words. https://t.co/AiPsLHEqvC — Avi Mayer (@AviMayer) October 28, 2018 x At least 4 of these victims were alive during Hitler's…
)))Anti-Semitism(((: When punctuation meets racism
There’s a lot of mention here at Daily Kos of dog-whistles and coded language. At times, that seems to verge on the difficult-to-believe; does the far-right really read so much into single words as we on the Left like to imply? The answer, at least sometimes, is yes. Indeed, among segments of the online alt-right,…
Michael Morrell (CIA, CBS) goes on Charlie Rose with severe anti-semitism claim against Iran
“The Supreme Leader, Ali Khameini, recently called Israelis 'animals.'”This is presented as an official statement. Is this real? Or not? The actual quote relates to loss of life among civilians during the Gaza battles last year. The statement translated from the original Farsi says something quite different: “Israel is a beast carrying out a genocide….
