They shared meals at AAU tournaments in South Carolina or roomed together at USA Basketball camps in Colorado Springs. And then, beginning in the fall of 2017, Tre Jones, Cam Reddish, RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson committed—not only to Duke but also to each other. Any of them…

Kellyanne Conway’s well-deserved slap at Chris Wallace: ‘What are you, Oprah?’ By Cheryl K. Chumley The Washington Times April 1, 2019 Kellyanne Conway, White House counselor, gave a swift and saucy response to Fox News’ Chris Wallace when he asked about the state of her marriage to vocal anti-President Donald Trumper George Conway, snapping off the one-liner, “What are you, Oprah?” It was a deserved slap-down.

Roy Moore and Kayla Moore: History explains why it sounds racist to call someone “a Jew” By Noah Berlatsky Quartz March 30, 2019 The most egregious use of definite articles as smears against Jewish people is found, inevitably, in Nazi propaganda. One 1943 pamphlet, “The Jew as World Parasite,” is typical in its rhetorical framing of Jewish people as a singular malevolent glob—a framing which in translation reads as an obsessive use of “the Jew” and “a Jew.” “The Jew has crept in like a parasite not only into our people, but into all the peoples of the…

Newsweek March 29, 2019 Former federal prosecutors and legal experts told Newsweek that while his latest Schiff Instagram post may not constitute an explicit violation of his gag order, the man described as a GOP “dirty trickster” is on the verge of crossing that line. Former Trump adviser Roger Stone posted an image depicting House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, a Democrat, with the word “BULLSCHIFF,” on March 29.
