So st Patrick’s day tweet snarking about Irish criminality and alcoholism. Fascinating.
Presumably followed by bomb tossing Muslim and hook nosed Jew with a stack of dollars and gold.

This piece by Rep Omar covers various topics. But the portion on Israel-Palestine is a quite conventional and strong statement of the center-left two state approach. It’s one I support and I’d say a great number of American Jews do as well. washingtonpost.com/opinions/ilhan…
2/ it’s a very carefully considered and worded take.
3/ One thing that is clear on a close read is the different audiences addressed. She's careful to state that her view is at least nominally consensus US foreign policy (two states, etc.) and also consensus of the Israeli security establishment.

Disagree w key parts of this. Mostly on the role of Israel in the mix and not portraying opposition to Israeli policies as a form of lo-fi anti-semitism. That’s wrong and self defeating. We Jews should also explicitly decry the hideous and widely accepted ...
2/ Islamophobia these and other Muslim public figures face daily. But there is in this controversy an effort to essentially write off any criticisms tied to anti-semitism as just a ruse and somehow objectively islamophobic. That’s wrong on the merits, destructive for an ...
3/ inclusive society. So there are major points here that I agree with. Here’s my take. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/reducti…

The idea that Democrats are showing fear or a lack of press openness by rejecting Fox is silly. And journalists making this argument are being silly themselves. Hosting a debate isn’t a matter of press access. It’s an institutional collaboration.
2/ While Fox has some good journalists, as an organization it’s organized around and run on the basis of damaging Democrats. We have more evidence of this this week. But we know this. The idea that the party wld have such an organization host and organize an intra-party ...
3/ debate is bizarre. Why not have the Wisconsin GOP run one of the Democrats national debates? It’s more comparable than you think. It would be fine to have say Chris Wallace as a questioner or even moderator for a debate.

1. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade was banned in Toronto for more than 100 years. Why? Sectarian violence. Here’s a thread about “The Belfast of Canada” and the riots that rocked the city.
2. In the late 1800s, Toronto was a *very* Irish place. By the 1850s, more a third of the people in the city had been born in Ireland. That was a higher percentage than even Boston or New York.
3. Many of them were newcomers driven out of Ireland by the Great Famine. During the summer of 1847, 40,000 Irish refugees came to Toronto — twice the population of the entire city.

The implications for nuclear or conventional crisis escalation are horrifyingly obvious.
Ok, the most amusing part of our President-who has virtually unrestricted nuclear authority- going publicly batshit on Twitter...

...are the discordant and obviously scheduled moments of normality amidst the WTF.

The Shamrock Run is in the books. The kids are fed and now it’s time for my other St. Patrick’s Day tradition: Jameson and Irish gangster movies. Up first is State of Grace. Primus inter pares of the genre.
The roster in State is amazing: Penn, Harris, Oldman, Wright, Reilly, Turturro, Burgess God D’Ambrosio Meredith.

Great cast.

Music by Ennio Morricone for chrissakes.
The costuming is great too. The Westies are all in that 80s prolly faux leather jackets. Their hair long and greasy. Helps convey that silent menace so well.

St. Patrick’s day has always been great. This next one will be the GREATEST!

Had to stop at the Pub to wash all this popcorn down with some suds. 🍺

Thought the Flynn family would enjoy this...3 more days till the 17th 😉

Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
Like I said time & again sir.

TILL THE END 🇺🇸

A big theme in my speeches across Western US is the formative impact that Irish people & those of Irish descent have had in shaping modern day Western US. This is very true in #SanFrancisco where there is huge Irish heritage & where we have a vibrant @GlobalIrish community today!
Around 11% of the Bay Area is of Irish descent & there is a large Irish born community too. The people to people connections between the region & Ireland are very strong as evidenced by multiple sister city connections: @sfgov & @corkcitycouncil; @CityofSanJose & @DubCityCouncil
@SantaClaraCity & @LimerickCouncil are sister cities, as are @CityofMenloPark & @GalwayCityCo! Quick shout out to Kathy Watanabe @Carunningmom, the Vice Mayor of Santa Clara with proud #Roscommon heritage. Here’s me meeting with Mayor @LisaGillmor & Kathy earlier this year.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
