33 years ago today, Robin Ventura decided to charge Nolan Ryan
Big mistake. Nolan Ryan took care of him and then some. Fun fact - Nolan stayed in the game and proceeded to retire 12 of the next 13 batters
Honest question, Minister @EvanLSolomon: why does an intelligent, good guy like you, with a background in communications, repeat the absurd cliché that “antisemitism has no place… anywhere in Canada?”
The opposite is obviously true.
By every metric, antisemitism has a large and growing place in Canada.
So can we please just drop that ridiculous bromide and start to confront the painful reality that we, as a society, have allowed history’s oldest and most pernicious hatred to metastasize in Canada?
Of course this is not reducible to a partisan question, but surely some responsibility for the sickening growth in antisemitism falls to the national government that has been in office for over a decade.
The government that, as a matter of policy, dropped the Harper government’s formal acknowledgement of the the uniquely pernicious and durable nature of antisemitism?
The government that has funded vile antisemites through parodic “anti racism” programs.
The government that rewarded the perpetrators of the deadliest pogrom of Jews since the Shoah with recognition of a non existant Palestinian “state.”
The government that restored and increased funding to one of the greatest sources of violent antisemitism: UNWRA, which poisons the minds of Palestinian children with Jew hatred.
A government that has done nothing to address the problem of rampant antisemitism in many of Canada’s universities, where scapegoating Israel as the “collective Jew” (to quote Irwin Cotler) has become commonplace.
And a government whose naive approach to multiculturalism, immigration, and integration is willfully blind to the sad but undeniable reality that antisemitism is deeply embedded in certain cultures.
To all of those in office: enough with the cliches every time there is a new outrage targeting the Jewish community.
Real leadership is required, which means risking and spending political capital.
Yes that's exactly the problem. Anthony Fauci befriended all of the people who were supposed to cover him critically and without bias. Weird that, huh.
Fredo figured it out.
The most hilarious thing about this clip is what an uncomfortable tool @StephenAtHome is when confronted with sarcasm about how stupid you had to be to believe Fauci’s bullshit.
DANA CARVEY always felt like the most deranged SNL cast member. I can't imagine anyone else coming up with a character like MASSIVE HEAD WOUND HARRY. He's the greatest.
