Gender Offenders

The Media Meltdown of 2017 in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein disclosures is, to say the least, ironic. Why has the feminism-promoting media industry turned out to be the worst offender in abusing young women? For example, PBS star Charlie Rose was taken down on Monday for decades of unmitigated ...

Curb Your Self-Awareness

Seinfeld co-creator Larry David did something during his Saturday Night Live monologue this weekend that is almost unknown in 21st-century America: He engaged in Jewish self-criticism in front of gentiles: A lot of sexual harassment stuff in the news, and I couldn’t help but notice a very ...

‘Blade Runner 2049’: A Mexican in Los Angeles
