Some Thoughts On Charlottesville

Posted on August 13, 2017 by mikethemadbiologist

In no particular order: Nazis murdered someone. That needs to be stated clearly. The President of the United States was unwilling to condemn white Christian supremacy or Nazis. Nazis. This shouldn’t be surprising, however, as Il Trumpe’s father was arrested … Continue reading →

Yep, Il Trumpe issued a Holocaust Memorial Day proclamation that didn’t mention Jews or anti-Semitism at all. But Very Serious People told me Trump advisor and elite racist Steve Bannon isn’t an anti-Semite. Nope, not all.

(((It’s Not Just Trump)))

Posted on June 8, 2016 by mikethemadbiologist

In light of the whole ((())) anti-Semitism thing, it’s worth another reminder that the Republican party’s Jewish problem precedes Il Trumpe. Not only did former Republican House Majority Leader Eric Kantor essentially admit as much, but just peruse this list … Continue reading →

A Failure to Communicate Or Lost In Translation?

Posted on February 23, 2016 by mikethemadbiologist

Trump’s Highly Successful Jewish Outreach Program

Posted on December 5, 2015 by mikethemadbiologist
