Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Magid first tackles the first debate between US President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump in a faceoff that included Trump's statements about not having let Hamas attack if he was in office, while Biden defended his actions since October 7. Both countered one another on antisemitism regarding the 2017 Charlottesville rally versus the campus protests of last spring. Magid also reviews Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's trip to Washington this week, in which Gallant tackled the arms shipment brouhaha that heated up with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's involvement. The meetings were very effective, said Magid, with the shipments ironed out for arms shipments that could be more effective against Hezbollah, if needed. Magid refers to another topic discussed during Gallant's visit, regarding whether fighting with Hezbollah could be halted as battles in Rafah slow down as an "off-ramp" to avoid war. He discusses the post-war Gaza plan discussed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his meetings in the region last week, with possible participation by future Palestinian Authority security forces, and peacekeeping forces from the UAE and Egypt amid a future pathway to a Palestinian state. Magid concludes with an in-depth look at the Jamal Bowman race against George Latimer in the New York Democratic primary as Bowman's views on Israel which brought strong AIPAC financial support for Latimer, ultimately helping him sweep the election. For more updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Trump calls Biden ‘a bad Palestinian' as president's halting debate showing rattles Dems Gallant, US declare progress on expediting arms delivery, but bomb shipment still frozen US, Israel see easing of Gaza fighting as Hezbollah ‘off-ramp' to avoid war Egypt, UAE prepared to participate in postwar Gaza security force — officials THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.  IMAGE: This combination of photos shows Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, and President Joe Biden during a presidential debate hosted by CNN, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Atlanta.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports a progressive Democratic incumbent congressman in New York loses his primary in a closely watched race.

South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn is often considered the single most important person in helping Joe Biden win the Democratic nomination in 2020. Now, in 2024, Clyburn is one of Biden's six campaign co-chairs.  On this episode of Deep Dive, Clyburn joins host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to discuss: Biden's weakness with Black and Latino voters; the rebellion on the left over Israel's war in Gaza; the continued Democratic carping about the Biden campaign's messaging; Biden's dismal approval ratings; who will be the post-Biden leaders of the Democratic Party; what side he's taking in that New York Democratic primary that's pitting the likes of Hakeem Jeffries against Hillary Clinton; and more. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Jim Clyburn is a U.S. Congressman from South Carolina.  Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has taken strides to appeal the 34 felony convictions he received due to a verdict delivered recently in the so-called `hush money` case in Manhattan. As per the report from Fox News' Eric Shawn, the appeal process will not be a cakewalk for Trump, particularly due to the glaring political bias within New York's heavily Democratic milieu, which includes the appointment of appeals court justices. Eric Shawn, while addressing 'America's Newsroom' on Tuesday, unfolded the story around Trump's appeal. He pointed out that the New York State appellate court's first division, which is going to hear Trump's appeal, has a number of justices who have made campaign contributions to the Democratic party in the past. 'Of the 21 justices on this appellate court, one alone was not appointed by a New York Democratic governor,' Shawn observed. 'Federal and state campaign records reveal that at least 14 out of the 21 justices have made campaign donations to Democrats previously'. This observation throws light on the potential political bias in the court's composition. Shawn also emphasized on the fact that some of the justices made these campaign contributions while serving on the lower court. The inclusion of Justice Marsha Michael, who was appointed by Governor Hochul only eight months ago, was also contemplated in his insights shared on the national broadcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Michelle Eisen, organizing member of Starbucks Workers United (SWU), to discuss the breaking news that Starbucks may be willing to return to the negotiating table with SWU. Then, Sam is joined by Melissa Gira Grant, staff writer at the New Republic, to discuss her recent reporting on Project 2025. First, Sam runs through updates on the tremendous showing of the “Uncommitted” vote in Michigan's Democratic Primary, an imminent government shutdown, US' commitment to begin to start working on trying to get Israel compliant with international law soon maybe, IVF legislation, UAW expansion, Arizona fascism, anti-trust action, the impotency of the New York Democratic machine, climate change, and Nepo babies Hunter Biden and Lara Trump, before diving into CNN's coverage of Michigan's “Uncommitted” vote, attempting to downplay and obscure the political movement behind it. SWU's Michelle Eisen then joins, reflecting on the major developments in their unionization drive in the 11 months since her last MR appearance, including Starbucks' contract stonewalling and active discrimination against union stores and workers. Next, Eisen looks to the role of Starbucks' recent trademark lawsuit and the union's countersuit in pushing Starbucks to come back to the table with the union and attempt to prove good faith after years of union-busting, and granting backpay and other benefits provided to the union. Wrapping up, Michelle and Sam tackle the central role workers will play in these negotiations moving forward, and where the timeline for the reparations currently stands. After briefly touching on Mitch McConnell's announced resignation from Senate leadership, Sam is joined by Melissa Gira Grant who jumps right into what “Project 2025” is, an agenda blueprint provided by the far-right Heritage Foundation and supported by some hundred other groups that outlines their plan for a fascist transition in the case of a GOP victory in 2024. After briefly stepping back to look and where this project came from, and the particular role that Donald Trump plays in it, Grant walks Sam through the specifics of the project, centering around this idea of enshrining the family (more specifically the heterosexual nuclear family) at the core of policies to undermine same-sex marriage, trans rights, the DOE, social programs writ large, and generally gut the 14th amendment's right to privacy when it comes to sexual and gender identity. After briefly touching on the role of the 1873 Comstock Act as central to the Heritage Foundation's plan, Grant tackles Project 2025's major goals of removing all mention of reproductive rights and abortion from US government policy, and punishing any governmental or public organizations that do not comply with their myriad fascist changes. Wrapping up, Melissa and Sam discuss the ideological focus of the project's recruitment methods, and why their numbers are falling well short of their vision as the election draws closer. And in the Fun Half: Sam talks with Nick from Michigan and Matt from Ann Arbor, respectively, about the “Uncommitted” vote in yesterday's primary, then Dave Rubin calls in to attempt to hash things out with Sam as they tackle the necessity of wealth inequality and the attack on IVF before things take a turn for the personal. The MR Team also covers the fallout of James Comer's central witness to the Biden Impeachment getting exposed as a Russian asset, Hemet from Canada calls in to touch on Canada's growing xenophobia, and Joe Rogan and Kid Rock go back and forth between whether genocide is productive or not, while Dr. Phill and Rogan come to agreement on the wonders of wealth inequality, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with political commentator Olayemi Olurin to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the totally natural passing of Alexei Navalny, Israel's raiding of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Israel's new West Bank settlement program, ceasefire calls from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, one of the GOP's countless impeachment shams, student debt relief, US aid to Israel, Amazon joining Elon Musk's challenge to the NLRB, same-sex marriage in Greece, New York's redistricting, Donald Trump's legal woes, and the IRS' tax filing pilot, before watching Tucker Carlson's attempt to defend his Putin interview. Olayemi Olurin then joins, diving right into her insight into New York's ongoing manufactured crises around crime and immigration, particularly from her perspective as a defense attorney. Olurin first looks to the evil of Eric Adams as she explores the roots of these “crises” in the NYC Mayor and the New York Democratic machine, diving into his ongoing attack on bail reform, and how the bail system serves as economic leverage for prosecutors, before touching on the potential ends of the FBI's investigations into his campaign. Next, Olay walks Sam and Emma through the recent Democratic endorsement of the New York Democrats' moderate push after Tom Suozzi's victory in NY-3, looking at the insanity of presenting Long Island politics as “normal,” and tackling Democrats' insistence on remaining outrageously out of touch with their constituents. She also discusses the tactic of voting for the weakest adversary, before wrapping up the interview by touching on the unsurprising fact of the Democratic Party's support for Israel. And in the Fun Half: Emma explores the NYT's recent kind-hearted coverage of Israel's (self-proclaimed) fascist West Bank settlers, Caleb from Trenton tackles the pervasion of Nazi propaganda in the US, Guy from Jupiter discusses accountability for exploiters of undocumented labor, and Matt Taibbi continues to struggle with his breakup with Elon Musk, now one-year out.

What does it say about America, the Court, and what happens post-Roe?Next, we are looking at New York State politics by checking in on Kathy Hochul's easy victory in the New York Democratic primary. Does her win mean her moderate brand of politics is ascendant in New York and can she help get other Democrats elected in what is likely to be a tough environment this November?Finally, don't blow that bubble! Lee's Fun Fact goes back to the 1950s and may reignite the divide over children chewing bubble gum.

Gov. Hochul commits to join 2 debates in New York Democratic primary; Mayor Adams wants feds to yank license of Nevada-based ‘ghost gun' parts seller; New York Assembly map upheld for 2022 elections

She's ba-ack! But why? Hillary Clinton is the nightmare that won't go away, as she speaks at the New York Democratic convention about the evils of Republicans and the 'distraction' of the Durham investigation from the troubles of Donald Trump. Also, GOP candidate for governor Danielle Neuschwanger joins the program once again, this time to discuss her bombshell accusation of Governor Jared Polis essentially laundering taxpayer dollars for kickbacks to pot shops.

Feb 18, 2022 - New York State Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs discusses the party's state convention, including the logistics in pulling it off, why Hillary Clinton served as the keynote speaker and whether the format was fair to the Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls not named Kathy Hochul.

Feb. 17, 2022 -Emilia Decaudin, a Democratic state committee member from Queens, who backs the gubernatorial bid by New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, shares her experience from the New York Democratic state convention in Manhattan.

October 12, 2021 - Two months ago, New York State Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs wasn't ready to back a candidate to be his party's candidate for governor, but now he is throwing his weight behind Gov. Kathy Hochul. The Nassau County Democrat explains why he's making an endorsement, the vetting process he went through and his decision to give former Gov. Andrew Cuomo a heads up about his plan.

“We are in a crisis and this governor is raising money off of anti-Fauci merch and going to other states to do fundraisers,” Florida Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried says of Ron DeSantis. Also in the episode, Ian Dunt—editor-at-large of Politics.co.uk, host of the Oh God, What Now? podcast, author of How to Be a Liberal—talks about Boris Johnson's COVID fiasco in Britain, where he hosted a reopening celebration just as the Delta variant spiked. Dunt goes deep on the Tory government's creeping authoritarianism and the U.K.'s new Fox News-on-the-cheap, GB News. Finally, Molly and co-host Jesse Cannon are joined by veteran New York Democratic guru Hank Sheinkopf, who explains why there'll be even more chaos if Gov. Andrew Cuomo is removed from office over his harassment allegations—and whether AG Tish James can succeed him as governor.If you haven't heard, every single week The New Abnormal does a special bonus episode for Beast Inside, the Daily Beast's membership program. where Sometimes we interview Senators like Cory Booker or the folks who explain our world in media like Jim Acosta or Soledad O'Brien.

And how should the United States take care of the thousands of Afghans who have aided the United States against the Taliban? The gang discusses.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Another killer cop catches a murder charge, this time in Georgia. But human rights advocates say we are a long way from justice for police brutality. Meanwhile, essential delivery workers are having a lot of problems with police during this time of curfews. Millions more people each week face an untenable economic situation. And lastly, why is it so satisfying to see conservatives lose their minds over the police-free zone the lefties set up in Seattle? We bring you the latest from the CHAZ – or the CHOP – whichever, take your pick. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Killer Atlanta Cop Charged The United Nations Human Rights Council held an urgent session in New York yesterday on racism and police brutality. The UN’s chief of human rights, Michelle Bachelet (BATCH-EH-LETT), said during the proceedings that QUOTE Too little has changed over too many years. The scale of today's protests point at the sea change. We need a decisive action around the world ENDQUOTE. It’s far from decisive, but there was one sign of progress in yesterday’s headlines. The fired Atlanta cop who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks, a twenty-seven-year-old restaurant worker, caught felony murder charges yesterday. In addition to the murder charge, Garrett Rolfe will face 10 other offenses for shooting Brooks twice during a suspected drunk driving stop. Prosecutors say they have video showing Rolfe kicked Brooks on the ground after shooting him. The Brooks family’s attorney told reporters QUOTE Was this justice today? Not yet ENDQUOTE. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution yesterday reported on a sudden string of hangings that has killed six black and Hispanic Americans in four states. The people fear lynchings, but police have ruled each case a suicide. Across the country, Oakland, California’s mayor announced a hate crimes investigation after nooses were found hanging from trees on public land. But after the mayor’s announcement, Oakland police put out a statement that the ropes could simply have been part of someone’s exercise routine. So, yeah, we need decisive action around the world to end racism and police brutality. Curfews Punish Gig Workers If anybody’s essential, it’s the person delivering your Phad Thai. Gig workers are increasingly facing arrest for violating curfew, the Washington Post reported yesterday. Many delivery apps like Caviar, Uber and Instacart have kept operating during periods of coronavirus curfew around the country. But they aren’t always letting their drivers know the legal risks they might face – not to mention threats to life and limb from the police. The companies say they have instituted changes to keep workers safer, like distributing face masks, but critics and labor advocates say it’s not enough. What’s more, their workforce has expanded dramatically as a result of the pandemic and economic crisis. Hundreds of thousands people have joined the gig economy labor pool in recent months. And they’re finding out the hard way just how cruel and unjust the lords of Silicon Valley can be. One in thirteen San Francisco renters has broken their lease in the past hundred days. That’s according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which says that people are walking out on their leases rather than fall behind on rent. The top category of renters to bail on their leases were those between eighteen and twenty-five years old. But all kinds of people are suffering all over the place. Reports from Kentucky yesterday showed eight-hour unemployment line. That’s thousands of people standing for hours in the sun, lined up along along a road. And, presumably, getting more angry by the minute. This is what you get with a capitalist economy in free-fall that provides no meaningful safety net. CHAZ Freaks Out Squares The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ -- also known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP – continues to drive Republicans insane. The gentrified Seattle neighborhood has been occupied by protesters who are determined to keep the cops at bay. They’ve held their ground for eleven days now, and reclaimed some public land in the process. This week some members of the CHOP community met with elected officials and bureaucrats from the city of Seattle to agree on new borders. These were described by local alt-weekly The Stranger as slightly smaller, but more permanent. The newspaper reported fruitful conversations between residents and the city over the last few days[. Now] the Seattle Fire Department, Seattle Public Utilities, and the Seattle Department of Transportation are removing the old flimsy barriers at the intersections and installing concrete barriers wrapped with particle board... Honey Buckets are being rearranged. [And] The No Cop Co-Op is moving down the street a bit. The idea is to allow greater access for emergency vehicles, including fire trucks. It seems the only people who are taking the words autonomous zone literally work in conservative media. Far-right websites put out a call for so-called patriots to QUOTE end domestic terrorism ENDQUOTE in the CHOP with an event scheduled for today. Local activists don’t seem too worried, as past incursions by the far right ended in humiliation for the reactionaries. Showing just how obsessed the right is with this anarchist experiment in Seattle, Florida drunk driver and Congressman Matt Gaetz yesterday went on a wild rant about the CHOP. He asked the majority Democrats if they’d host a Congressional delegation to Seattle so they could assess conditions for themselves. Evidently he believes Trump, who claimed Seattle has been taken over by domestic terrorists. Gaetz then got into a heated back-and-forth with Louisiana Congressman Cedric Richmond, who suggested Gaetz might have a conscious racial bias. Gaetz responded by shouting Who in the hell do you think you are?! This is outrageous! But Richmond, who chaired the Congressional Black Caucus until last year, had the final word: If the shoe fits, he said. Matt Gaetz? Racist? Yeah, that shoe fits just fine. Here’s what Gaetz could see happening in the CHOP if he actually cared to look: A young black Stanford graduate with training in degrees in energy and sustainability, who started a vegetable garden in a Capitol Hill park. The urban farmer, Marcus Henderson, told The Stranger his work on the CHOP farm seeks to remedy historic injustices. One way systemic racism in America has worked is by depriving blacks of land. Henderson runs a small organization called Black Star Farmers, which is also the name of his website and his Instagram page. If you’re in the Seattle area, they are seeking donations of organic compost, mulch, river rocks, cinder blocks, worms, and other small-farm necessities. Oh no: anarchy! AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton’s book is the talk of the Beltway, especially since the White House is basically trying to ban it. In excerpts widely reported yesterday, Trump is revealed to have asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping for held getting re- elected. The walrus moustache always laughs last. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer endorsed New York Representative Eliot Engel yesterday. Engel, a hawkish centrist, faces progressive favorite Jamaal Bowman in the New York Democratic primary next Tuesday, June 23. Chuck would’ve been smarter to sit this one out. Honest-to-goodness pirates are menacing the Gulf of Mexico, or so says the US State Department. The latest travel advisory for Mexico warns that armed criminal groups have been known to target and rob commercial vessels, oil platforms, and offshore supply vessels in the southern Gulf_._ Good to know someone out there is still making an honest living.

Today's episode updates you on all the recent goings-on at the Supreme Court, including the advent of new, social-distancing-approved oral arguments, the Court's calendar, and today's 9-0 reversal in Kelly v. U.S., the Bridgegate case. Oh, and while we're at it, we also take on two lengthy Andrew Was (Sort of) Wrong segments! Phew! We begin with a discussion of the new procedures for SCOTUS oral arguments, and give an apology to Clarence Thomas, who's now engaged and asking questions after decades of silence on the bench. After that, it's time to take a look at the SCOTUS calendar where we check out some suspicious timing regarding the non-release of the Title VII cases as well as 10 pending gun control cert petitions. Then, it's time for a deep dive into Kelly v. U.S., which we last covered in Episode 232. Andrew thought the 3rd Circuit's analysis of "property" was plausible in that episode... and just got reversed 9-0 by a unanimous Supreme Court. Whoops! As long as Andrew Was Wrong, how about we check back in on Andrew Yang's lawsuit against the DNC, in which Yang (despite "not having a great case," according to Andrew in Episode 382) nevertheless managed to secure an injunction from the Southern District of New York. Find out where this case is headed, what's next, and why Andrew is STILL right, sort of.... Finally, Andrew Was... not wrong, exactly, but Flabbergasted that the American Bar Association reversed itself, finding Justin Walker "Well Qualified" for serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Andrew, on the other hand, continues to rate Walker "Not Qualified," as per Episode 289. After all that, it's time for a brand-new #T3BE involving a nuisance plant next to a mini-golf park.

US Vice President Mike Pence announced Tuesday that the Trump administration's Coronavirus Task Force would be winding down, with operations expected to conclude by June 1. However, US President Donald Trump contradicted him Wednesday on Twitter after The Critical Hour's recording, saying that the task force would "continue on indefinitely." The administration has framed the pandemic in the context of war. Is it possible to declare victory when the enemy continues to attack and take ground, or would that just be waving the white flag of surrender?On Tuesday, we discussed that the New York Board of Elections canceled the state's Democratic presidential primary last week, citing the risk of spreading coronavirus. A Wednesday Common Dreams headline read, "Victory for 'Basic Democracy' as Judge Orders New York to Reinstate Sanders, Yang, and Others to 2020 Primary Ballot." The article noted, "The ruling by Judge Analisa Torres of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, which came in response to a lawsuit filed by Andrew Yang last week, means the New York Democratic presidential primary will take place on June 23 as previously scheduled, barring a successful appeal." The saga continues."The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments in the Trump administration's attempt to allow more employers to refuse to provide insurance coverage for birth control for female employees because of religious or moral objections," the Washington Post reported Wednesday. One thing you can say about these so-called right-to-lifers: they are persistent if nothing else. Yes, there's a definite so-called right-to-life issue here, but is there also male patriarchy involved here as well: men thinking they can still tell women what to do with their bodies and the age-old adage that women are supposed to stay home barefoot and pregnant?A great piece ran Wednesday in CounterPunch, entitled "The Washington Post's Neocons are Beating Cold War Drums…Again," wherein Melvin Goodman writes, "The Washington Post has a reputation as liberal and even left-of-center, although its editorial pages are dominated by neoconservatives who support the idea of American exceptionalism and the extreme operational tempo of America's military. In the past week, we have been treated to a series of op-ed essays that are supportive of expanded American military power and a political, if not military, confrontation with China."GUESTS: Dr. Richard Lachmann — American sociologist and specialist in comparative historical sociology and professor at the State University of New York at Albany. Dr. Lachmann is best known as the author of the book "Capitalists in Spite of Themselves," which has been awarded several prizes, including the American Sociological Association Distinguished Scholarly Book Award.Khalilah L.

GUEST In the second take on the world of hip-hop, BrownTown goes international by inviting the podcast’s first featured music artist Fiendish AKA Junior AKA Kaiphobthawiphong to chop it up all the way from Bangkok, Thailand. Originally a DJ in high school, Fiendsh transitioned to creating his own content while at Columbia College Chicago. With similar stylings to J. Dilla, Madlib, Kanye West, and Mf Doom, Fiendsh has since released two EPs, Al Capone and Gold Pope. OVERVIEW Fiendsh and BrownTown discuss current mainstream releases, the cultural and media pieces they impact, and the broader socio-political context in which they are created. Over a year since part one, “Hip-Hop in the Age of Spin,” Fiendsh shares the origins of his name, his introduction into DJing, moving to Chicago for college, and the influence hip-hop has had in his life, his work, and his home country at-large. The gang sifts through the musical stylings, business acumen, and overall critique of album releases from GOOD Music, Drake, J. Cole , and Nas. As authenticity in hip-hop is and always has been an important and heavily contested theme, they unpack the cultural and critical relevance of Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther Soundtrack as well as Cardi B’s rise to popularity. The latter includes a nod to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s stunning New York Democratic house primary victory, noting a parallel between different yet unapologetic, strong Latina figures in different areas of public life. From appropriate and intentional track sampling to a viral video of the young woman aggressively rapping “Bodak Yellow” to her boyfriend, passion, purpose, and persistence illustrates that hip-hop is here to stay and reimagines what it can be. -- Find Fiendsh's music on his site as well as his Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages. Follow him on Facebook and Instagram. -- CREDITS: Intro music by Fiendsh. Outro song Everything by NAS ft. Kanye West and The-Dream.

In this episode, Niki, Neil, and Natalia debate the rise of Democratic Socialists, plans for packing the Supreme Court, and the increasing popularity of audiobooks. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: Thanks to the recent upset victory of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in a New York Democratic primary, socialism appears to be having a new moment in American politics. Justice Anthony Kennedy has stepped down, prompting a conversation about whether “packing” the Supreme Court is an advisable strategy for progressives. Natalia cited historian William Leuchtenberg’s Smithsonian Magazine article on Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s attempt to pack the Supreme Court. The popularity of the audiobook is challenging publishers to think differently about how people consume literature. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia recommended Judith Newman’s New York Times essay, “He’s Going Back to His Former Wife. Sort Of.” Neil discussed the cultural significance of the “Trumpy Bear” toy. Niki recommended Jessica Gingrich’s Gastro Obscura article, “The Ornate Ice Cream Saloons That Served Unchaperoned Women.”

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's victory in a New York Democratic primary has made her the recent media darling of the Left. It has also brought the term "democratic-socialist" to the fore. She can't define it. The media can't define it. Stupidity runs in packs. So I define it for you and explain why it is nothing more than communism dressed up to be "reasonable."
