Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
Sept. 11 Victims’ Lawsuit Against Saudi Government Can Go to Trial, Judge Rules
Information uncovered by plaintiffs has already undermined the FBI’s conclusion that two U.S.-based Saudi officials “unwittingly” helped al-Qaida hijackers after they arrived in America.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

Superman is the best comic book movie I’ve seen in ages.

The film honors the original Shuster and Siegel vision of Superman as an anti-fascist hero who believes in the power of humanity.

It also reminds us that justice is a team effort, and we can joint that team anytime. The choice is ours.

grief is an endless tunnel where everyone must find their own way through without a light. if any of us are lucky, we will hopefully find others within that tunnel and somehow we will help each other pass through that abyss. none of us knows where we are headed, but at least we aren’t going alone.

About 3/4 of Jewish Americans voted for Harris in 2024.

Most care more about America than they do about any foreign country.

More of them are anti-Netanyahu than pro-.

It really sucks to use Jewish Americans as political props for things most of them don't even agree with.
