I guess this is going to be a confusing day for Paul Krugman. Earlier Krugman said the only anti-Semites that worried him were the ones on the right. In other words, Rep. Omar is nothing like the tiki torch marchers. But a few hours later, Omar was getting love eyes from David Duke on Twitter who praised her as the most important member of Congress:

What? A neo-Nazi praising a Muslim? That doesn't make any sense. Those two groups have nothing in common. Oh, wait. Never mind.

Follow the path of Hitler from his very early years through his tyrant rule and murder of innocents. It is exactly the same path the today’s Democrat Party has chosen to go forward on. Today they tread slowly with their Anti-Jew, Anti-Trump, Anti-Maga, Mantra while their thugs beat up the MAGA folks at will, just like the Hitler Brown Shirts and early SS thugs did in the late 1920 and early 1930s. Amazing!!!
Stay tuned Americans!!!

“Omar Is Now The Most Important Member Of Congress!”
The “logic” is out the window. It’s like coming to the conclusion that the new kid in town is the boss just because he or she came to town.

Check the source of that sentiment.

Whether Duke said it or if Joe Biden said it, the logic is out the window. Omar seems to be the most difficult member of Congress, but never should she be thought of as being the most important.

Let’s see how many times the media asks Omar to denounce Duke.

Nothing on CNN. Of course, search CNN for Duke/Trump and see the hundreds of hits.

Of course the logic is out the window. It’s David Duke. They are mocking the sentiment. You are taking it at face value.

To Neo-Nazis, Jews are always the main enemy. Everyone else is either a tool of the Jews or duped by them. After 9/11, the Neo-Nazis embraced Islamic terrorism.

Is she a “birthright citizenship” kiddie who was elected to the U.S. Congress in less than one generation? This Somalian POS needs to be asked one question: Is your allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, which has saved your sorry stupid butt, or is it to Sharia Law, which seeks to extinguish ours? I think I already know the answer.

She must denounce David Duke immediately in no uncertain terms and condemn him..is what they would say if she were a Repub.

My ten great movies #10: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
As someone who is deeply fascinated by the lives of artists under pressure, it’s hard for me to separate Star Trek II from the legend behind its creation, which is one of the most interesting of all Hollywood stories. The first Star Trek film had been a financial success, but also grossly expensive, and hardly beloved, prompting producer Harve Bennett to turn over the reins to the least likely man imaginable: Nicholas Meyer, the prickly author of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, and the furthest thing in the world from a Trekkie. Yet Meyer’s skepticism about the project allowed him to slash the budget, swiftly assemble a fine script from the bones of several unusable drafts, and reinvigorate the entire franchise with some badly missed humor and a nautical sense of adventure—a classic example of how detachment can be more valuable to an artist than passionate involvement.
Of course, none of this would matter if the movie itself weren’t so extraordinary—”wonderful dumb fun,” as Pauline Kael said in the New Yorker, and so much more. This is, in fact, pop entertainment of the highest order, a movie of great goofiness and excitement whose occasional lapses into camp make it all the more endearing. It feels big, but its roots in television and classic Hollywood—as embodied by star Ricardo Montalban—lend it an appealing modesty, a determination to give the audience a good time that smacks less of space opera than relaxed operetta. Like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, it’s a studio film that ends up saying more than it ever intended about the reasons we love the movies in the first place. And it still lights up my imagination. As I’ve probably said before, Star Trek: The Motion Picture makes me want to be a special effects designer, but Wrath of Khan makes me want to join Starfleet.
Tomorrow: The most perfect story in the movies.

5. I Need My Pain!
Movie:The Final Frontier Participants: Kirk, Spock, McCoy
Yes, The Final Frontier made this list. Sure, it's easy to diss on Shatner's directorial contribution to the series, but in the final analysis one must acknowledge that the movie had a couple of nice moments. The best, perhaps, is this scene, which reminds us of what makes the triumvirate of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy tick.
As Spock's cult-leader brother Sybok attempts to convert each officer to his cause -- the search for God, actually -- he unveils difficult aspects of their pasts and encourages them to move past the pain. We see Spock's birth, and his father's disdain for him because of his half-human blood. We learn of McCoy's father, who when on his deathbed begged his son to euthanize him. And then there's Kirk… ![]() But Kirk, being Kirk, doesn't want to overcome his pain. He knows what his weaknesses are. 'I need my pain!' he yells. Because that's what makes him Kirk.
4. Let Them Die!
Movie:The Undiscovered Country Participants: Kirk, Spock
When Wrath of Khan director 913278.html'>Nicholas Meyer returned to the Trek fold for the original crew's swan song, The Undiscovered Country, he picked up on several of the themes which had informed his earlier film. One of the most interesting, however, was actually an element that we first started to get a feel from in The Search for Spock: Kirk's prejudice towards and hatred of the Klingons.
It's a very un-Roddenberry perspective. After all, in the Trek creator's view, the citizens of the Federation are supposed to be so advanced as to be past such petty feelings. But that notion, while admirable, doesn't always make for the most dramatic of storytelling. Which is why this scene is so effective, when Kirk learns that not only has he been assigned to lead a peace delegation to the Klingons, but that it was his friend Spock who had spearheaded the very notion of the mission. Kirk and Spock have it out after a meeting of bigwigs at Starfleet Command, where Kirk's raw emotion bursts to the surface. 'They're animals,' Kirk protests. Spock replies that they are dying. 'Let them die,' Kirk whispers, teeth clenched. It's powerful stuff… and, of course, only Nixon could go to China.
3. The Mutara Nebula
Movie:The Wrath of Khan Participants: The Enterprise, the Reliant
The temptation is there to just include 10 moments from The Wrath of Khan on this list, but we're resisting that. Still, how can we not mention what is possibly the greatest space battle in any Trek movie -- the battle of the Mutara Nebula?!
Sauce For The Goose Mr SaavikIt's essentially submarine warfare for Kirk and Khan as they face off in this galactic dead zone that is pretty to look out, but dangerous to hang around in. The interference in the nebula is such that both ships -- Kirk's Enterprise and Khan's Reliant -- are operating with disabled shields and little or no tactical systems. And that's exactly what Kirk has in mind, since his vessel is severely damaged to begin with. 'Sauce for the goose, Mr. Saavik,' explains Spock to his protege. 'The odds will be even.' Well, not really even, since Kirk's vast experience as a starship commander proves to be too much for even Khan's superior intellect. After a game of three-dimensional cat and mouse warfare between the two ships, Kirk blows the Reliant -- and Khan -- to pieces. His genetically engineered goose, you might say, was cooked.
