Senate Democrats back BDS anti-Israel movement with filibuster of Mideast partnership bill

Angry at the government shutdown and peeved over attempts to stifle anti-Israeli boycotts, Senate Democrats on Tuesday filibustered a bill that would have strengthened U.S. relationships in the Middle East while punishing the anti-Israel boycott movement.

Pathetic. I’ve been saying for 20 years that the democrats will become the party of acceptable antisemitism. That time has come. Pretending that it’s about policy (something only very ignorant people believe) doesn’t change that. If you’re Jewish and you haven’t changed your party affiliation, you’re the same type of person who had his head in the ground ostrich style in 1936. Please leave the fantasy version of the Democratic Party behind, at best it is a thing of the past, and get out. Do not support the people who hate us.

Senate Judiciary Committee Report: 45 Interviews, Zero Evidence To Corroborate Claims Against Kavanaugh | Daily Wire

On Friday, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a 414-page document presenting its summary report and exhibits regarding the allegations of sexual misconduct against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett

The entire Kavanaugh situation was a stunt by democrats who couldn't care less that this entire thing potentially set the women's movement back decades by reating a situation where women weren't just exploited, but infantilized by the idea that they should be believed merely because of their gender and not, like everyone else, judged on the facts.

Aging senators ask 'Mr. Zuckerberg' for tech support in hilarious Senate hearing meme

The internet roasted clueless lawmakers during Mark Zuckerberg's Senate hearing.

As a still youngish owner of a social media startup (compared to some of the Senators anyway), I can fully empathize with the frustration that Zuckerberg must have felt with some of these questions. The reaction on Twitter was hilarious. For example:

“Mr. Zuckerberg, a magazine i recently opened came with a floppy disk offering me 30 free hours of something called America On-Line. Is that the same as Facebook?"
