AMERICANS ARE IN THE MIDST OF A DANGEROUSLY UNCIVIL CIVIL WAR

“The Nazi cartoons are back.” “It’s 1932 all over again.” “Never again shall Arabs control Jerusalem.” “Tlaib and Omar are intentionally mainstreaming anti-Semitic memes just as Hitler did in the lead up to World War 2.” Why are Jews still voting for the Democratic Party?” “Omar should kiss the ground here, the country that rescued her. She wants Sharia law, go back to where it is, don’t bring it here.” “Why are Jews hiding when their people are being demonized?” “The progressives are lost. The Anti-Semitism is out of control, it is a serious situation.” “Such blatant evil cannot be denied and it must be faced.”

Phyllis Chesler  at the Israel Day parade. "There must have been at least 100 of them, perhaps more. There they stood, long bearded and in black frock coats and hats, literally howling at those of us who had gathered to demand that Speaker of the Ho"I have never seen so many members of the Neturai Karta out in such force, not even use, Nancy Pelosi, remove Minnesota, Somali-American Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
"And then it hit me.
"They, marginalized and rejected by the vast majority of the haredi world that also finds them repugnant, have quite possibly—probably—been mobilized by their paymaster, the Islamic Republic of Iran, to drown out our words. This is not a complete coincidence since American warships are now in the Persian Gulf.
"I congratulated the large number of pro-Israel and pro-America supporters, a crowd estimated at between 500-700, who had come to the corner of 7th Avenue and 48th Street where the buses never stop, nor do the fire engines, ambulances, and passing crowds.
"And then it also hit me.
"Men dressed just like the Neturai Karta are no longer totally safe in America, they are being increasingly targeted for ugly, street-corner “beat-downs,” hateful verbal screams from cars: “Allahu Akbar. Do you know Hitler? We love Hitler.” American synagogues on Shabbat have begun to require the same military-like presence that has long existed outside European synagogues." . . .

 A favorite scene from Saving Private Ryan:


Time for CNN to turn to food shows?

Sylvio Canto Jr  "We learned again that The Food Network is outdrawing CNN.  This is from Tammy Bruce:
. . . Throughout all of cable TV, during the week of April 1, Fox News grabbed the most primetime viewers with 2.3 million, MSNBC came in second with 1.6 million, and way below them, way below number one and number two, way below HGTV, the Food Network, Investigative Discovery, and the Hallmark Channel, sits the far-left CNN in 15th place, with only 745,000 primetime viewers.  . . .
. . .  "CNN problems are easy to understand:
"First, they became obsessed with the Mueller Report and invested in a negative conclusion about President Trump.  As my old journalism professor once said, "don't write the headline before you research the story."  Clearly, the people at CNN thought they were on "the right side of history" and bet against President Trump.
"Second, they forgot to do news.  It was 24/7 Trump panels rather than broadcasting news reports.  It's supposed to be a news network, but nothing in the programming supports that.
"So what happens now?  My guess is that ownership will read these ratings and make changes.  In the short run, the owners may roll back the anti-Trump nonsense.  In the long run, CNN may have a makeover and go food all day and all night.
"Last, but not least, it's sad that CNN has done this to itself.  The country needs vibrant news networks that report the news as objectively as possible.  I hope CNN returns to news and drops the panels." . . .
Well, they can do a twofer with "Kamala's Kitchen"

Another Democrat posts a transparently phony photo, gets hilariously busted

What virtue-signaling looks like:

Lifson  "Yet another high-profile Democrat in Congress has been busted for posting a photo on Twitter that is such an obvious fraud that even a child could figure it out.
"How is it possible that think that they can get away with taking a new item out of box, then take a photo, and claim that it represents their true self, their customary signal of personal virtue , when the deep folds of the cloth off the (obviously) brand new item are visible to the naked eye?
"This tweet from Rep. Eric Swalwell was immediately spotted as a phony:"
(Typos corrected by my computer. TD)
Eric Swalwell tweeted: "I fly these flags 365 days a year."

. . . "The first two comments say it all:
Educated Hillbilly was the first:
You should have ironed it when you took it out of the wrapper.
Followed by Brian Crumpton:
"But then he wouldn’t be able to return it
