What part of "pariah" is hard to understand?
I am a Jew from Ireland.
To see the national football team behave so disgracefully in tonight’s match against Israel, saddens me.
Disrespecting the Israeli anthem. Refusing to even shake hands with the Israeli players.
Ireland has become a shadow of its former self.

Evil Dad exploits his lazy unwillingness to call an employment help to cheap out on his son
My son broke his arm today so I took him out for ice cream and said he could get a LEGO set and we could build it together.
We went to Walmart.
Every single LEGO set, even ones that were $7.99, were locked up behind glass.
We walked down another isle… same thing.
Every single week I have walked in here and more items are locked up behind glass and it takes FOREVER to have anyone help you open something and they make you feel awful for it.
It’s honestly barely worth shopping here at all…
I felt so bad for my kid. We ended up just leaving without a LEGO set.
Whatever we are doing with society that has brought us here… it’s gotta end.
This is insane and it’s destroying childhood.

I'm sure the dude is totally anti-anti-Semitic now
🚨UPDATE: We got him.
The man was employed with a local location of a national fast-food chain. After cooperation with local businesses for CCTV and using eyewitness accounts we were able to confirm his identity.
The franchise owner was very receptive and terminated the employee immediately. I also filed a police report with local law enforcement so this schmuck is on their radar.
Average people are sick and tired of the hatred in this country. Don’t let your antisemitism ruin your life!

Filing notice in advance: Democrats will win this fall, Democrats won't do anything good that is actually important, smart people will hate the Democrats just as much as they hate the Republicans now.

After spending like wild men on wars, tax cuts for the rich, and ballroom renovations no one ever asked for or needed, Trump-era Republicans are getting ready to recast themselves as fiscal conservatives as soon as the Democrats take control of the House this fall.

AI can help produce good cartoons quickly and respond to events right away. But only if a real cartoonist gets paid for them. Ted Rall and Scott Stantis explain why on the "DMZ America Podcast" this morning! #cartoons #editorialcartooning #politicalcartooning

Political cartoonists Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (Right) discuss news, politics, current events and culture without the screaming or the shouting...because they're best friends. Can editorial cartooning be saved—or is the ink already dry? On the DMZ America Podcast, editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) confront their dying craft—a profession they revered and to which they dedicated their lives.
Is there any path back for a form that once punched above its weight in American political life, and that caused presidents to quake in fear? Or is this simply the last generation drawing the last frames? Sharp, unsparing, and personal.
Live Fridays at 11 am Eastern/10 am Central. Streaming after on YouTube and the usual podcast apps.

Editorial cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM Eastern time.
Today we discuss:
• In an epic display of nerve, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insulted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani—head of the host city of the UN—in a wild address to the United Nations General Assembly that saw many delegates walk out before it even began.
• At least a dozen of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lead authors are employed by or linked to Saudi Aramco, Saudi institutions and other oil and gas interests. One IPCC vice-chair, part of the body’s leadership group, also represents the kingdom at global climate negotiations as a government employee.
• Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi proposes reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear talks with the U.S. within seven days if the Trump administration abides by the Memorandum of Understanding.
• ICE and other agencies have wasted tens of millions of dollars pursuing ill-conceived plans to rapidly increase detention capacity, and the total will likely rise due to ongoing mismanagement, congressional investigators warn.
• The Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS) says that there is a “low but growing risk” Russia could launch a “limited” military attack against a NATO member in the coming months, saying the Kremlin appears more willing to take risks after more than four-and-a-half years of war against Ukraine.
• In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s cabinet adopts a decree-law, rendering the wearing of burqas and niqabs in schools illegal and introducing a 30% cap on non-Italian speakers in classrooms starting next year.
