Duke basketball: 5 excuses Coach K cannot honestly use next season Ball Durham May 29, 2021 The 2021-22 season will be a fair gauge of modern Duke basketball strategy. It’s best not to forget that the Duke basketball program was a laughingstock underachiever in the eyes of outsiders last season. Considering the arrival of another elite recruiting class plus the return of a new-and-improved eventual All-ACC First Team performer in sophomore Matthew Hurt, the final 13-11 record — and subsequent late-March vacation — was simply inexcusable. Still, though, head coach Mike Krzyzewski often served as a spin doctor…
Bill Maher defends Israel, rips ‘liberal media’ and ‘Bella Hadids of the world’ By Joseph Wulfsohn Fox News May 29, 2021 “Real Time” host Bill Maher weighed in on the Israel-Gaza conflict Friday night after canceling last week’s show following his positive coronavirus test result. He quickly took issue with the “liberal media” for its coverage of the fighting. “One of the frustrations I had while I was off is that I was watching this war go on in Israel … and it was frustrating to me because there was no one on liberal media to defend Israel,…
The Washington Times May 29, 2021 The Black Lives Matter movement’s embrace of the Palestinian cause substitutes racial identity for religious autonomy in the Mideast conflict, casting Israel as the aggressor even as antisemitic attacks in the U.S. are on the rise, foreign policy analysts say. With its popularity among progressives and Democrats intact, BLM threatens to add tinder to the Israeli-Palestinian conflagration by inviting comparisons to the antebellum South, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and ’70s and the white-minority oppression of South Africa, analysts say. “They have equated Israel with White supremacists and Palestinians with Blacks.…
The Washington Times May 29, 2021 Like many ranchers who struggled during the novel coronavirus pandemic, Liesl Carpenter would love to have her hefty agricultural loans forgiven by the federal government, but there’s just one problem: She’s the wrong race. As a White person, Ms. Carpenter is ineligible for the American Rescue Plan’s $4 billion program for “socially disadvantaged” farmers and ranchers, which offers to pay up to 120% of the outstanding balances on direct and guaranteed farm loans, including tax liability. “If we could have had relief from this, it would have been amazing,” said Ms. Carpenter, who…
Yahoo News May 29, 2021 In stark contrast to last summer, more Americans now say violent crime is a “very big problem” in the U.S. than say the same about COVID-19, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — a shift that suggests policing and public safety could come to dominate U.S. politics as the pandemic subsides, potentially putting the Biden administration and Democratic leaders on the defensive. The survey of 1,588 U.S. adults, which was conducted from May 24 to May 26, found that just 32 percent of them now describe COVID-19 as a very big problem, down…
Analysis | The Senate vote on the bipartisan Jan. 6 commission showed Trump’s power and a government under duress Washington Post May 29, 2021 Led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), all but a handful of Republican senators joined to scuttle creation of a commission that would have been given the authority and resources to probe more fully what happened and why on that terrible day in January. Absent the use of a filibuster, there were enough votes to let the commission go forward. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on May 19 said that he will oppose…
Opinion | The Jewish History of Israel Is Over 3,000 Years Old. That’s Why It’s Complicated. By David Wolpe New York Times May 28, 2021 My first visit to Israel was when I was 12 years old. The group was led by my father, a rabbi from Philadelphia. We had been invited to participate in an archaeological dig near the city of Beit Shean, in the country’s north, near the Jordan River Valley. Soon after we arrived, one of my friends happened upon a pottery shard, really an ostracon, a fragment with writing on it. The archaeologist on…
Trump Rips Paul Ryan, Fox News By Eric Mack Newsmax May 28, 2021 It did not take long for former President Donald Trump to get wind and respond to anti-Trump comments Thursday night by former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., at the Ronald Reagan Library. Trump scoffed at Ryan’s arrogance to suggest the failed “RINO” (Republican in Name Only) knows enough that he can tell Republicans “how to win elections,” lumping the never Trumper in with Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the failed presidential candidate he served as running mate for in 2012. Continue Reading…..
New York prosecutors are treating the Trump Organization like it’s the mob By Jacob Shamsian Business Insider May 28, 2021 NY prosecutors examining the Trump Organization seem to be treating it like it’s run by mobsters. Similar to mob organizations, the Trump Org is run by family members who prosecutors want to flip. They could seek racketeering charges, used in both organized crime and business contexts.
