I was under the impression that the Jews at Elephantine were explicitly polytheistic, sacrificing to Canaanite gods & that this was 100% accepted as fact, and after spending ~10 mins trying to find out the names of said gods it turns out they may have just been "aspects" of YHWH

This statement by Kevin Roberts is reprehensible for the following reasons. First, it is dishonest. Roberts opens by declaring that “Christians can critique the state of Israel without being anti-Semitic” — as if the issue were free speech or foreign policy. It is not. Tucker

There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours. I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:

I don't want to give the guy that much credit, but the poster is a Heritage-foundation staffer, so it was not without risk. As usual, don't read the comments.

I’m glad to see some conservatives pushing back on this. Disowning Nazis is pretty much the least you can do, but it’s something.

I don’t know why the Heritage Foundation thinks I’m a donor, particularly since they think my name is “Chad.” But Chad is going to be writing them a strongly worded letter.

Trick or treaters at the door. Lucy insists I hand out sweets. I offer a silver bonbonnière of crystallised violets and sugared almonds. Apparently, I’m ‘the problem.’

The “intellectual backbone of the conservative movement” is only as strong as the values it defends. Last I checked, “conservatives should feel no obligation” to carry water for antisemites and apologists for America-hating autocrats. But maybe I just don’t know what time it is…

Due to the uniformity, design, and color of the titles on the bookshelves in Goodnight Moon I am forced to assume that the bunny is getting a Greek & Latin education through the Loeb Classical Library.

This should end once and for all any lingering sense that this movement has a limit. If the right can mainstream Fuentes, it can mainstream anything. You’re telling me a movement that normalizes Nazis will have qualms about suspending the Constitution? Why?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that MAGA conservatives who hate immigrants and Muslims would end up turning their hate on Jews, or that election- and Covid denialists would end up fine with Holocaust denialists. But it still comes as a surprise to see the party of Reagan and

I was today years old when I realized Carl Sagan's billionaire S. R. Hadden in Contact was a play on the Assyrian king Esarhaddon.

Roman gladiators didn't have six packs. They purposefully cultivated belly fat because it protected their otherwise vulnerable bowels from stab wounds. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

“Jews are running society, women need to shut the fuck up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part." -Nick Fuentes This is who the president of Heritage says we shouldn't "cancel." Refusing to associate with that isn't "cancel culture." It's "having standards."
