'Remember Us': How To Fight Media Bombholing

By: Mark Judge， Chronicles
A couple years ago the journalist Matt Taibbi came up with a telling new term for the way the media works in our time: bombholing. Bombholing is the practice of publishing wild and unsubstantiated stories in the press, then sending those same stories down the memory hole when they turn out to be false. Then the media hits viewers with a new "bombshell," which makes people forget the old "bombshell." Viewers are led "from mania to mania."

Avoiding Victimhood: A Lesson From Our Jewish Peers

By: Lexi Boccuzzi，＆nbsp；RCP
More than six months have passed since the deadly attacks of Oct. 7, 2023. Yet it seems like every day I wake up to new reports of antisemitic conduct, particularly among America's most elite young adults, Ivy League students. The latest has been a series of violent protests at Columbia and Yale where Jewish students were harassed and even attacked. At Penn, I have been reporting on the ground while protesters chanted "Israelis are pigs," and "Al-Qassam make us proud, take another soldier down." Our famous Ben Franklin statue was even vandalized with the KKK slur "Zios get fuckt." How did the...

By: John Hamilton， RealClearPolitics
In 2023, an Italo-American archaeological team announced their discovery of a 5,000-year-old tavern in Lagash, an ancient city-state capital in southern Iraq.

Photos of the site showed piles of broken pottery "mugs" strewn about. The Lagash Lounge must have held a heck of a party the night it closed down.

Is Biden Losing Pennsylvania?

By: Kyle Sammin， UnHerd
Joe Biden only lived in northeastern Pennsylvania for about seven of his 81 years, but the city of Scranton looms large in his autobiography. The city, the state's fourth-largest in the days of the President's youth, was the home of Biden's mother's family for generations, since they immigrated from Ireland in the 19th century. Pennsylvania - and Ireland - make up only about half of the President's family tree but, in his telling, he's Scranton Joe the Irish Democrat through and through.

Biden Needs More Than Nostalgia

By: John Hendrickson， The Atlantic
Interstate 81, southbound, you can't miss it: Exit 185 PRESIDENT BIDEN EXPRESSWAY. The three-quarter-mile road leads into downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, birthplace of Joe Biden. Keep going straight and you'll eventually end up-where else?-on Biden Street. That these namesake roads exist while the president is still alive, let alone still in office, feels odd. But this exact strangeness-forced nostalgia, preemptive memorialization-is the essence of Biden's 2024 reelection campaign.
