Thank God for Zohran Mamdani and Abdul el-Sayed, who are unbelievably good examples for what principled anti-Zionism rooted in care for human rights and dignity including that of Jews looks like.

Great one from the Peter Chase Files: In 2004, Justin Verlander was drafted by the Tigers June 7. Kevin McGonigle was born Aug. 18. Verlander signed his first pro contract Oct. 25. Max Clark was born Dec. 21. ---Pretty good year for the franchise.

The current administration can do anything they want with virtually no pushback. Occasionally something like taking a name off a building happens, but it is meaningless in the big picture. Otherwise, it is non-stop carnage and corruption while Dems watch and send requests for donations.
