WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE: Study: Dramatic Rise in White Mortality Disproportionately Experienced by Single Men.
The 21st century is not turning out as I had hoped, to coin an Insta-phrase.
WE NEED A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SHUTDOWN OF ENGLAND UNTIL WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE: Why men should give their wives a cheat pass this Christmas.
HISTORIAN: NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS FDR’S BIGOTRY DERAILED MANY HOLOCAUST RESCUE PLANS.
Not only was US president Franklin Roosevelt perfunctory about rescuing Jews from the Nazis, but he obstructed rescue opportunities that would have cost him little or nothing, according to Holocaust historian Rafael Medoff.
FDR’s role in preventing the rescue of European Jewry is detailed in a new book called, “The Jews Should Keep Quiet: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and the Holocaust.”
Published in September, Medoff’s book includes new archival materials about the relationship between Roosevelt and Rabbi Stephen Wise, who the author sees as a sycophantic Jewish leader used by Roosevelt to “keep the Jews quiet.”
Wrote Medoff, “Franklin Roosevelt took advantage of Wise’s adoration of his policies and leadership to manipulate Wise through flattery and intermittent access to the White House.” In return for visits to the White House and Roosevelt calling him by his first name, Wise undermined Jewish activists who demanded the administration let more Jewish refugees into the US.
Flashback: New Documents Reveal FDR’s Eugenic Project to ‘Resettle’ Jews During World War II. As the Holocaust raged, the American president secretly asked his government to study the possible resettlement of remaining European refugees in Africa and South America. His goal: for Jews to be ‘spread thin all over the world.’
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN: Anti-PC women are asking men to look at their chests again. “Do you think I’m wearing this bra because it’s comfortable?”

I DUNNO, THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A PUTIN STOOGE WOULD SAY: Flood of Oil Is Coming, Complicating Efforts to Fight Global Warming.
If they worry aloud about global warming, but don’t support nuclear power, they’re either a Putin stooge, or they might as well be one.
SMOKE SIGNALS GOING UP: Stick a fork in Liz Warren, Medicare-for-All has cooked her.
Flashback: A recent New York magazine headline posited, “Elizabeth Warren Has Good Reasons to Stay Vague on Health Care.” Or as NYU Journalism professor Jay Rosen Orwellianly tweeted earlier this month, “The ‘make Elizabeth warren say she would raise taxes on the middle class’ question should be a credibility killer. For the journalists who keep asking it.”
KURT SCHLICHTER: Trump Is Derailing The Elite’s Gravy Train.
DUMB IS AS DUMB DOES: Remember how just last July, in Knight First Amendment Institute v Trump the Second Circuit sided with Democrats who said (rightly, IMHO) that the President, using his Twitter account to make policy statements, could not block people? Someone forgot to tell Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, who blocked Dov Hivkin, a former Brooklyn Assemblyman who takes issue with her pro-Palestinian stance. He sued her pants off in federal court, and she threw in the towel this afternoon.
“I have reconsidered my decision to block Dov Hikind from my Twitter account,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement obtained by The Post on Monday. “Mr. Hikind has a First Amendment right to express his views and should not be blocked for them.”
I suspect she or her crack staff used Wikipedia for research again, an all-too-common problem with her.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, FIRST AS FARCE, THEN AS FARCE: Scoop: CIA, FBI Informant Was WaPo Source For Russiagate Smears.
Flashback: Mark Steyn on Mark Felt aka, the WaPo’s “Deep Throat:” “Now we learn that Deep Throat was not, in fact, Alexander Haig, David Gergen, Pat Buchanan or Len Garment, but a disaffected sidekick of J. Edgar Hoover, an old-school G-man embittered at being passed over for the Director’s job when the big guy keeled over after half-a-century in harness. And, whatever Mark Felt’s motives, it wasn’t because of a distaste over illegal break-ins: at the FBI, he himself had authorized illegal burglaries at the homes of friends and family of various leftists. Oh, dear. Like the Star Wars wrap-up, ‘How Mark Felt Became Deep Throat’ feels small and mean after three decades of the awesome dramatic burden placed upon it. The nobility of the Watergate myth — in which media boomers and generations of journalism-school ethics bores have invested so much — seems cheapened and tarnished by this last plot twist.”
