My latest Substack looks at @RichardDawkins , how recent research points up huge flaws in his thinking about #evolution, and why he refuses to debate me and won’t discuss this. jonathanleaf.substack.com/p/…

This keeps on happening. It's a shame that, aside from Orban's Hungary and sometimes France, no western country shows much interest in the persecution of Christians across the wider Middle East. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm4g…

Lula is fucking scum
Lula on Navalny: “A citizen died in prison, I don't know if he was ill or had any issues. To make an accusation is to trivialize. I hope that a coroner will provide an explanation for why the individual died, that's all." Servile and embarrassing.

This is Fadi al-Halsa, a young Orthodox Christian (Rum Orthodox) dentist from Karak, Jordan who only just graduated from Alexandria University's dental school this year. Instead of celebrating his bright future, Fadi's parents and two sisters are now laying him to rest. Fadi was martyred in the Karak Saint George Church terrorist attack in Jordan.

Replying to @MEMRIReports
🚨 PALESTINIAN CLERICS CALL FOR JIHAD TO CRUSH PARIS MEMRI TV archives expose extremist sermons calling for Muslim armies to “crush Paris,” destroy its “corrupt civilization,” and establish an Islamic caliphate. Non-Muslims face these choices: convert, pay the jizya tax, or die. Clerics also claim French citizens are converting to Islam hourly. @MEMRIReports

When people are struck by how much more honest @realDonaldTrump is than you are, it might be time for you to leave. Just a thought.
The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar. Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.

Kara Swisher was an assistant editor at the Washington City Paper in the 1980s, and I saw her every week when that paper was produced at my Baltimore City Paper. Didn't crack a smile even then. And there was a LOT to laugh about with our staff.
