The civil rights movement led to the end of legalized racial segregation and the beginning of the ability of African Americans to be free and equal citizens in the United States of America. But similar oppressive government injustice is happening in New York City today.

In an odd-numbered year made odder by the consistent and endless takeover of personal liberties, people don’t think they have the ability to make the necessary changes to government until 2022 or 2024.  To the contrary, the election of 2021 will affect the lives of Nassau County residents far more than either of those cycles.

A political candidate in Virginia, a television game show host, and a Washington, D.C. historian seem to think that jokes about “Jewish noses” are funny. They’re not. In fact, they’re dangerous.

This month’s anniversary of the 1953 battle of Qibya has triggered yet another outpouring of Jewish guilt feelings. But Israel has no more reason to feel guilty about Qibya than the Allies do for bombing Dresden, Hiroshima, or Nagasaki.

“The United States will give foreign aid to Israel to help them replenish their depleted supply of Iron Dome missiles, which are integral to its defense against relentless rocket fire from terrorists into civilian populations.” That sentence made Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez so sad that she wept on the floor of the House of Representatives.  

When California governor Gavin Newsom announced a first-in-the-nation COVID vaccine mandate for K-12 students, he claimed that “this is just another vaccine.” His words reflected those of Dr. Anthony Fauci back in August, who said, “I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea. We’ve done this for decades and decades, requiring polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis [vaccinations].” Were a Republican to say this, fact-checkers would rate these claims as “mostly false” because they are “missing context.”
