Academia has too few white students, who have been discriminated against for hundreds of years--or since 2024.

In Hebrew, the sixth commandment says "Thou shalt not murder."

Jews (and, one supposes, their Christian acolytes) accept killing for a just cause.

You gotta retire. I have and every day is great. I admit I don't know the day or the month most of the time, but that's the price of happiness.

Jews worship in semi-fortified isolation. Christians, who carried out anti-Jewish pogroms for millennia, worship openly and peacefully. Who is the greater evil?

Just read a history of the Buchanan presidency (1857-1861). Appalling story of divided loyalties.

Trump had indicated . . . that he would leverage the shutdown to inflict pain on programs and workers that Democrats prioritize. On Wednesday, (OMB) said the administration will use the shutdown to block funding from infrastructure projects in states run by Democrats.

The U. S. government shut down overnight. No one in D.C. is working for us. Can anyone tell me the difference between today and, say, last week or last month?
