This prediction does not factor in faithless electors, a coup etc. Here is my very, very, very, very low confidence prediction. I have been chastising people for years who say this thing or that thing is the thing that will actually finally doom Trump. Occasionally during these rants I mentioned if ... |

How the House would pick the president in the event of an Electoral College tie The election has already been filled with eye-popping an... |

The Covid-19 vaccines seemed to have effectively stopped the Pandemic. As I recall I got four shots. I went to a National Conference with 250 people at the banquet and did not get sick! Two full days. One attendee came down with Covid at the end of the event but apparently did not pass it on to any... |

As far as "oppressed and oppressor groups" are concerned, most leftists would say that Jews can be in either category depending on context. Most leftists would also say that it is wrong to pick on Jews merely for being Jewish, or for wearing Jewish religious symbols! As we have often disc... |

She criticized that particular group of teachers agenda and their actions but not them personally. She hates their agenda but so it is verbally correct to say she is spreading hate, but in America “spreading hate” usually refers to spreading hate about a group of people. No they do not. I gave you ... |

Survey Reports on Jewish Students’ Experiences at U.S. Colleges Another very interesting finding you didn't quote was this one: Among other findings were that students of higher socioeconomic status, both Jewish and non-Jewish, were the strongest supporters of Israel.

I should have said my cousin is a strong zionist but she does fit in with what was being discussed by Tuft university professor about progressive zionist Jews feeling betrayed by fellow progressives whose causes they championed. I have posted a number of articles related to this subject. I am an out... |

There is a choice to be made: Either continue the use of thiomersal as a preservative in bulk quantities of vaccines to third-world countries, or deny those same vaccines (without thiomersal) to third-world countries due to lack of proper refrigeration. In other words, it is a choice between a remo... |

Apparently some older Jewish Zionists are starting to notice, and worry, that many younger Jews are turning away from Zionism.

I could not agree more that the author has an agenda and that agenda is to change curriculum, more specifically to end the ethnic studies program. Spreading ones agenda is the whole point of opinion pieces. She may or may not be a vile bigot but I saw nothing in that piece that denigrated a group of... |

While teachers are not the authors of the curriculum, the teachers the article is about are supporters of the curriculum that is why she is blaming them.
