Titus Kennedy yet again mischaracterizes several names in Papyrus Brooklyn 35.1446 as being distinctly Hebrew, centuries before a Hebrew language and names existed. And his interviewer, DTS professor Paul Weaver, has dutifully deleted my comment explaining the problem. youtu.be/lB35KzJeRkQ?...

What is the Brooklyn Papyrus? Is this proof that the Hebrews were in Egypt?

Hypothesis: The volume of a MAGA culture warrior's grievances about Nolan's Odyssey is inversely proportional to the amount of Homer he or she has actually read.

The majority opinion in Trump v. Barbara is--and I cannot stress this enough--conservative. Maintains the longstanding status quo. Looks to the plain text of the 14th Amendment. Even cites Blackstone and English common law! Scalia could have written this.

Exactly. As a matter of historical linguistics, claiming Moses wrote the Torah is roughly like arguing Chaucer wrote Huckleberry Finn.

According to Bovino, the Minneapolitan on his knees is victimizing the masked federal agent standing and pointing his pistol. Ghoulish, shameless, inhumane gaslighting. A total abdication of responsibility and decency.

". . . even more stunning, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services, told a British interviewer that U.S. military personnel could, 'within the realm of their own conscience' disobey an immoral order to invade Greenland." www.ncronline.org/opinion/edit...

It is a new level of opposition for American cardinals to formally question the fundamental morality of an administration's engagement with the world.

Not sure about the title. Apologetics can be pretty profitable for some. 😉 But this should be an interesting watch. Apologists routinely cite historians, archaeologists, and other scholars, but the reverse is exceedingly rare, and for good reason.

Next month, at what's left of the Heritage Foundation: 'Anti-Antisemtism, the REAL Enemy Within. An evening with Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.' But seriously. When you're publicly unfriended by the antisemitism task force you helped organize, there's a problem.

Lex Lata @lexlata.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

One odious side effect of efforts like this, which in practice are routinely Christianity-centric despite lip service about "Judeo-Christian" values, is the effective relegation of Jewish students to second-class social status--an unofficial but still consequential kind of antisemitism.
