Let's face it squarely - a lot of folks feel liberated by this war to let their caged hatred for Jews fly free. You can easily see it in the disproportionate rage, the absence of terror condemnation, the comfort with anti-Semitic slogans, the "I'll never forgive Biden'!" spittle. There's a collective "this is what we've been waiting for" moment underway. The social shackles that proscribed antisemitism in the west are seemingly broken. These are people who said nothing about Syria and little about Ukraine. This is their cause for the obvious reason.

When Bernie Sanders ran for President, anyone who supported him became a "progressive." His Sanders Institute nonprofit has an active Fellows program that promotes the views of prominent supporters - including the Tulsi Gabbard, who posted a racist video this morning. The profile there links to all her social channels, where you will now find the kind of disgusting nationalist crap that defines the extremist MAGA movement.

Obviously, Scherzer and DeGrom have been crunch time flops - and that was the Mets big 2022 strategy. But when was the last time Alonso or Lindor got the big hit, the timely homer, drove in the big runs? Seems like August. The fact the NYM missed Marte to much is telling. #LGM Great players, terrific seasons, the compiled numbers are impressive. But honestly, I'd rather have Marte or McNeil up in a big spot.

The problem with the NYT is that its leadership believes opposing barbaric fascism is "partisan." Extremist right wing hatred is certainly baddish and may be worth covering. But partisanship is the true mortal sin in the Church of Eighth Avenue catechism.
