Anti-Semitism creeps back

ANTI-SEMITISM: July 17, 2018 And what to my wondering eyes should appear, at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church this month, but a heap of painful evidence that the foreign policy of the United States isn’t in disarray solely because of Donald Trump.   An insubstantial number of Americans seem capable these days — in contrast with the Cold War era — of figuring...
Trump and ‘the truth’ ‘‘
William Murchison 05/29/2018 - 6:48pm
MEDIA BIAS: May 29, 2018 A once-upon-a-time voice for journalistic respectability, the Columbia Journalism Review, has consigned to the well-known hot place the notion that respectability entails letting voters rather than reporters decide whether a president is Abe Lincoln or a dirty lying rat.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: May 15, 2018 Here’s a cute little item from the New York Times this past weekend: “Is Your Script Gender-Balanced? Try This Test.” Is your script ... what? “Gender-balanced:” Meaning representative of male and female presence and importance in whatever screenplay you are concocting —...
‘Authoritarians’ of all sorts
William Murchison 05/08/2018 - 2:41pm
SUPREME COURT: May 8, 2018 “Liar,” “wacko,” “immoralist” — the reproaches Donald Trump endures, or rejoices in, are numberless. And let’s not forget “authoritarian,” an echo of leading political players stretching back to Julius Caesar. I highlight this particular reproach on account of...
