Giraldi: bowdlerizing language on behalf of Israel

contact@ifamericansknew.org at Israel Palestine News - 5 hours ago
Philip Giraldi: In the United States there has been a concerted effort to equate any criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism while simultaneously making anti-Semitism a hate crime and thereby converting what one might perceive as exercise of a First Amendment right into a felony.

Penny at Penny for your thoughts - 5 hours ago
*As readers here know I've been writing about the covid casualty counts in the long term care homes. Specific to Ontario, Canada. The families are completely unsurprised by the report that only covers 5 homes. The pdf is available here I've just printed it up to read now. * *There is going to be still more coverage on what I consider gross negligence and possible malfeasance**( wrongdoing, especially by a public official)** on the part of the Ford government. (that's my opinion)* * As I've explained the problems are well known, documented and systemic. * *Doug Ford repeatedly stated h... more »

Classical Liberalism Was Born and Thrived During Pandemics

David Henderson at Econlib - 5 hours ago
There Are No Libertarians in an Epidemic,” The Atlantic proudly declared in March. The message, echoed often since then, has been the same: classical liberals (henceforth in this essay simply referred to as “liberals”) have no place in this world. A global pandemic must be met with global action, which can only be coordinated by governments. […] The post Classical Liberalism Was Born and Thrived During Pandemics appeared first on Econlib.

It's the End of the World as We Know It But Do You Feel Fine?

jurassicpork at Welcome Back to Gotham City - 5 hours ago
Recently, I got an email from a friend and reader of mine and I was told of the story of a friend of theirs in New York who was at a Whole Foods who tried to tell a woman she was going down the wrong direction of an aisle (as they're all one way now). Not only wouldn't she move her cart for him, she bumped his cart with her own just to be a vindictive asshole. A very minor episode, true. But it serves as a synecdoche of the way Americans are getting decidedly more uncivil toward each other. If you trap enough rats in a bag or box that's small enough, eventually they'll turn... more »
