Trump’s latest ant-Semitic comments

Not surprising. The man’s a bigot and has said similar things before.

Jewish heritage but last names can be deceiving. "Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. was raised in his mother’s Episcopalian faith and later stopped practicing religion. He and his wife, Gail Gregg, were married by a Presbyterian minister." https://t.co/TxjjpzC3A1 https://t.co/b1Ace6Li3y

Trump's issue is that he doesn't get much support from Jewish Americans who tend not to like him or his policies on most fronts. And he thinks he's entitled to their loyalty given his strong "support" for Israel. And then he just throws in the old school Anti-Semite stuff.

Gilligan’s Island Super Bowl commercial

This was a great commercial from many years ago.

I was playing a trivia machine game at a bar and one question was what color was Gilligan’s shirt – red, yellow, or blue? I didn’t know. It was always gray on our black and white TV.

57-years ago today ‘Gilligan's Island' premiered on CBS… (and I watched it every day after school for years) https://t.co/pbdaYxX154

The media’s misleading tweets on Air Force vaccinations

They are emphasizing the small number of people who won’t get vaccinated instead of the large majority who have been vaccinated.

97.3% of active duty members are partially or fully vaccinated. That should be in the tweet. Mandates work. https://t.co/XC2aKfVIah
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) December 14, 2021

You should have tweeted that around 97% of active duty members are vaccinated. Instead, you buried it in your article. Mandates work.

The Air Force has discharged 27 service members for refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine, a spokeswoman said, making these likely the first troops to be removed from the military for failure to obey the vaccine mandate. https://t.co/dfdruN2Qww

Trump and Russia tweets

Conservatives who lost their shit over one stray remark from Obama to Medvedev would still make this guy the Commander in Chief and give him the nuclear codes, and I don't think we should ever let a day go by without reminding everyone what that means. https://t.co/SUnCWPlApp

Rand Paul is a hypocrite

He wants federal relief for Kentucky (which is appropriate) but voted against relief for other areas hurt by weather events.

We must help Kentucky and the other states brutalized by tornadoes this weekend.

However always remember, this is who Rand Paul is when it’s your state hit with a disaster.

Covers: My Sweet Lord

Did you know the first version of George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” was by Billy Preston? I just found out today. Of course, you can say the song is a cover because Harrison was found to have plagiarized the Chiffons’ hit “He’s So Fine”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujfJpKV2McQ

The first-ever official music video for George's iconic "My Sweet Lord" premieres this Weds, Dec 15 at 9AM PT | 5PM GMT on YouTube. Featuring an all-star cast of more than 40 musicians, actors and comedians, click here – https://t.co/4GqRbqYRR2 – and enable notifications. pic.twitter.com/MFc8AOSsyN

Update on corporate donations to Republicans who would not certify the election

They lied.

Republican gerrymandering will hurt Black representation

The most egregious example of racial gerrymandering this year: GOP-controlled county commission in Galveston Texas passed new redistricting map eliminating only district held by Black commissioner. This is direct result of SCOTUS gutting Voting Rights Act https://t.co/kbsXzSDZlr

Neutral election commissions will cost Democrats

By our estimate, neutral/commission maps in the blue states of CA, CO, NJ, VA and WA (93 seats total) will end up costing Dems 10-15 House seats they could have seized by gerrymandering, making Republicans even stronger favorites for House control. https://t.co/B6pIvVChXf
