As a lifelong Jacksonville resident and passionate sportsman, I understand the deep connection between our waterways, local communities and economy. For more than 50 years, the Kirkpatrick Dam — a remnant of the halted Cross Florida Barge Canal — has undermined our local fishery. This has lead to the loss of submerged aquatic vegetation and restricted the flow of freshwater and nutrients vital to the hundred-mile-long St. Johns River estuary.

Hillel: Are you sure this is the way? Shammai: This is the only way. Hillel: Not what I meant. Shammai: This is the way we get to his cave. Hillel: I don't understand why we couldn't have taken a bedouin with us who knows the caves. Shammai: And compromise our identity? Hillel: What identity? We're in disguise! Shammai: We can't take the chance. Hillel: Nobody knows we're missing yet. If we don't get back by sunup tomorrow everyone will assume we've fled and they'll kill us.

I didn’t watch the debate. I won’t watch the debate. The moment Biden entered, I switched it off. Whether due to a cold,, or laryngitis, or whether he simply had a bad makeup job, or just that he was tired, the moment he stepped on that stage, Biden looked like that foolish fond old man in Republican wet dreams. Dearest Joe looked older than old, he looked like the increasingly wax likeness of a person in the weeks before their passing.

There’s nothing new in feeling betrayed by leftist friends. By the time I was 20, I learned that all too well. If you want to expose yourself to different points of view yet hang around any ideological wing long enough, they eventually betray every cause you thought they believed in – right as well as left, until you realize that you just don’t believe in anything anymore.

There are two Holocaust memorial days. One is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The other is Yom HaShoah. One is for them, the other is for us. It may be an official Israeli holiday, but I'd never heard of International Holocaust Remembrance Day before the internet, and I guarantee most Jews hadn't either. For us, Yom HaShoah is the day, it is the day in Israel, it is the day in the US, it is the day for Jews around the world.
