The obsession with Jews will always have a negative slant. That’s the way the media ball bounces. But while the news will only show us the bad, it is up to the Jews to show us the good.
Year after year, 365 days a year, his legions of fans would tune in every morning for “Coffee with Scott Adams,” which included the famous “simultaneous sip.”
Without Zionism, most religiously liberal American Jewish communities do not have sufficient Jewish content to sustain a thriving, long-term future in this country.
Even if we give Wiener the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t do this for political reasons and really means it, at least he could have done his homework.
You don’t need to be a social justice savant to know we are in desperate need of a refresher course on what constitutes lawful protest in America. Somewhere along the line, we lost our way with the First Amendment.
On the one-year anniversary of a nightmare, this is the news that matters most: the shameful failure of civic leadership to deal with an emergency made worse by sheer incompetence.
Love him or hate him, after what we saw in Caracas, no one will be shocked if Trump reaches a breaking point with Tehran. Persians around the world will surely be praying for that this weekend.
Even as he continues to heal, he has taken on a public role few could imagine enduring — speaking openly about his captivity and using his voice to press for the release of those being held.
The iconic show includes great performances by actors who are Jewish or of Jewish descent, including Noah Schnapp, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Brett Gelman and Paul Reiser.
