After a hiatus of a few months so I could recover from major surgery, my Arguable newsletter will return this week. I look forward to greeting old readers once again. And if you never subscribed to Arguable before, now would be a great time to sign on! https://t.co/aKkLtH8sjP

The @NYTimes editorial board has often gotten things wrong. But on this, it is very, very right. The United States is experiencing its worst surge of anti-Jewish hate in decades. But for too many non-Jews, that reality still hasn't registered. https://t.co/IGzkMFrrCk

When the Continental Congress unanimously chose George Washington to command the new US army, he accepted the commission. But with deep humility he also said: "I do not think myself equal to the Command I am honored with." Once we had great leaders. https://t.co/8IsWfIAux4

Thanks for making me a dad, you guys! I can’t wait until you have children of your own so I can wish you a happy #FathersDay too! https://t.co/pmZDx3iiQM

Is this a sign of creeping dementia? Or has Carville always had a problem with Jews? My impression was that he had two feet planted in (what's left of) the Democratic Party's sensible wing, but maybe I've been deluding myself.

Bad Hombre @joma_gc

James Carville launches into an unhinged rant, accusing wealthy Jewish donors of not wanting to give him money for the Democrat Party at fundraisers over rampant college campus anti-Semitism. Carville claims Jews will vote for Nazis just to “get their f-cking tax cuts.” https://t.co/gM5EYHWlaQ

For a long time, Carlson kept his hostility for Israel under wraps. But he no longer makes a secret of it. And really, who would expect anything else from someone who uses his show to promote a Nazi apologist and Holocaust denier? https://t.co/Gg1KOZLYtd

Rubbish. There is nothing anachronistic about applying the term "traitor" to Lee. The crime of treason appears in the Constitution, which defines it as "levying war against" the US. That is precisely what Lee did, violating his military oath to "bear true faith and allegiance" to

FischerKing @FischerKing64

People are doing the ‘Robert E. Lee was a traitor’ thing yet again. Stupid beyond belief. The legality of secession in 1861 was unclear. States mattered then more than now - because people didn’t move around much. Being loyal to your state - which you knew - made sense compared https://t.co/tGTsODXfFp

The absurd senator from Massachusetts continues to demonstrate why it is better to keep silent and let people think you are a buffoon than to tweet and remove all doubt.

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Pres. Obama and Secretary Kerry negotiated an agreement that would have kept Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, but Trump threw it out the window and now the world is reaping the whirlwind of his historic mistake. For the sake of the safety of American citizens and forces,

It's amazing how many people missed her point.

It sickens me to hear Spanish spoken on the streets of Los Angeles, San Diego, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Santa Ana, San Jose, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, El Cerrito, La Mirada, San Luis Obispo

RT @brad_polumbo: I support DACA's goals and always will. Deporting people like this is awful and does not make America great.

"Legal or illegal." Like nativist bigots and xenophobes from the Know-Nothings to the eugenicists to the FDR administration, what matters to @MattWalshBlog isn't who does or doesn't have a lawful visa. What he wants is to slam the door in the face of people who aren't like him.

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

Ban all third world immigration. Legal or illegal. There should be a moratorium on all immigration from the third world. We've reached our capacity. We cannot be the world's soup kitchen anymore.

Robert E Lee was a traitor who violated his oath to support and defend the Constitution in the most horrific way imaginable — by slaughtering tens of thousands of Americans. He could have chosen to uphold honor and decency. He chose instead to uphold white supremacy and slavery.

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

Robert E Lee was a man of great honor and integrity — qualities that his modern critics can’t comprehend. He was given the choice between taking up his sword against his home and community and family, or standing beside them in battle. He chose the latter. Any reasonable person
