I felt More Comfortable In Palestine Than In Israel. The People Were Friendlier. Does That Make Me An Antisemite?
Interesting that none of the presidential candidates have come to the defense of Ilhan Omar except the one Jew in the race, the guy who understands what antisemitism actually is (and isn't) and whose family was nearly wiped out by it. Watch the video. That's Ilhan at the 11 minute mark. If you think you hear any antisemitism, you are incorrect. These were the answers to the question about antisemitism: Rashida: This conversation about human rights for everyone, this convo around what this looks like is not centered around hate, it’s actually centered around love. Ilhan: I get em... more »

Robert Reich - 53 minutes ago
*What’s the Real American Story? * Donald Trump has perfected the art of telling a fake story about America. The only way to counter that is to tell the real story of America. Trump’s story is by now familiar: he alone will rescue average Americans from powerful alien forces – immigrants, foreign traders, foreign politicians and their international agreements – that have undermined the wellbeing of Americans. These forces have been successful largely because Democrats, liberals, “socialists,” cultural elites, the Washington establishment, the media and “deep state” bureaucrats ha... more »
