Joel Pollack of Breitbart: "At Breitbart our mission remains the same. "...
*unfortunately, as smart and well spoken as Mr Pollack is, he still finds it necessary (5:07) to "disavow" himself of any type of support for neo-Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists.* Just stop it. Why are we being forced to "disavow" ourselves of anything the left doesn't like? And we have to do it over and over. It's the same as apologizing for breathing. You don't win wars by apologizing to your enemies. It empowers them. The next time someone asks you to "disavow" something look them right in the face and say, "That's a stupid and offensive questions. Let's move on." Other... more »

SASSE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING DEEP ABOUT RACE, GETS SIDETRACKED PREEMPTIVELY BLAMING LEFT, MEDIA
Last night, Senator Ben Sasse posted a long, disjointed Facebook essay titled "The Next Charlottesville." Sasse wants to be thought of as a different kind of Republican -- he's opposed to President Trump and he's skeptical of (some) ongoing partisan battles. But he's still, in many ways, a modern culture-war Republican, much as he tries not to seem like one.

Steve Bannon resigned yesterday. Tony Schwartz believes Donald Trump will resign, too -- perhaps before the end of the year. Frank Bruni believes it doesn't matter. Trump is already gone: Trump resigned the presidency already — if we regard the job as one of moral stewardship, if we assume that an iota of civic concern must joust with self-regard, if we expect a president’s interest in legislation to rise above vacuous theatrics, if we consider a certain baseline of diplomatic etiquette to be part of the equation.

This is an important insight that i can speak to. During the global Bronze Age of which Egypt was a major center, the economy was dominated by the tribe of smiths.

The enthusiasm for this type of work ended in 1159BC with the abrupt end of the Bronze Age and after Armana and Akhenaten and Moses. Thus this copper scroll is properly dated to Moses himself and his escape from Egypt. The whole story of Moses was pl... more »
