Why has Trump been so slow to confront anti-Semitism? Several answers suggest themselves, none of them good. Every time I think they can’t surprise me, they do. My mouth dropped open when I saw Google headlines today full of stories about how Trump was too slow to condemn antisemitism. First the story is that he is giving his Jewish son-in-law too much of a say in government and then it is all how he is an anti-Semite. I wish they could at least keep their stories straight.
The first successful Delta force rescue. A reminder of how easy these things can go haywire even when they are “easy”. The last 45 minutes are darkness.
Executive Power Run Amok. I think this article is hypocritical on a number of different levels. That said, this is how reasonable people would criticize Trump if they were all not going insane.
The Dangers of Pakistan’s Tactical Nuclear Weapons. A bunch of thugs who like to turn woman into sex slaves makes for more salacious (and thus better selling) press. But it is things like this that tend to fade into the background that will rack up the real body count one day.
The High Cost of a Home Is Turning American Millennials Into the New Serfs. My sympathy is dented by the fact that millennials are most likely to support policies that make their problems worse (i.e. restrictions on house building and the like). Also, as a group, they are awful picky about the types of jobs that they will do. This plays in to their lower incomes although it is not the only factor (another not often noted contributors is that rich people have few to no kids so millennials are more likely to be a from poor broken homes then previous generations).
Federal Court Basically Says It’s Okay To Copyright Parts Of Our Laws. This has always irritated me immensely because most of the laws that effect me professionally are Copyrighted and you have to spend big bucks to get copies of them. Of course, it is my employer that has to pay, but it still bugs me.

Hobbyist made video that I am re-purposing to be a morality play about February. Not really all that good but it seems to fit.
