Hitler Was Just Jealous Because Jews, Not Nazis, Are the Real Master Race…?

Monday, December 30, 2019 at 11:44 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

I was stupefied that The New York Times saw nothing wrong with publishing an op-ed that effectively advanced this eugenic theory. Unsurprisingly, critics – many of them Jewish – pounced: Critics knocked Bret Stephens, the ultra-conservative New York Times columnist known for his controversial writings, for a recent op-ed titled ‘The Secret of Jewish Genius’… Read more.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

In typical fashion, President Trump mistakenly blamed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for cutting his cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. In typical fashion, he then projected onto Trudeau the upset over a serious public policy that would cause him (i.e., Trump) to make such a petty personal cut: I guess Justin… Read more.

Merry Xmas!

Tuesday, December 24, 2019 at 10:51 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

White evangelicals think Trump was chosen by God. That’s why they shouted “Give us Trump!” when forced (on Sunday) to choose between this “grossly immoral” president and the John-the-Baptist-like editor of Christianity Today. In doing so, they aped the baying crowd who famously shouted “Give us Barabbas!” when forced to choose between this “notorious murderer”… Read more.

Friday, December 20, 2019 at 6:52 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

No less an authority than ESPN recognized this transition from novelty to norm with its series, “The Year of the Black QB.” Here is how… Read more.

Money-Pit Yankees Still Trying to … Buy a Championship

Tuesday, December 17, 2019 at 6:54 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

With unbridled schadenfreude, I ridiculed the Yankees for failing to make it to the World Series again. Most notably, I pointed out the folly of continuing to spend so much for so little.
