Manischewitz Bought By Romney’s Old Crew

By Gordon Haber

…for $20 million.” The whole thing demonstrates a kind of evil genius in a number of ways. First, because the $40 million that you’ve pocketed is actually money that you borrowed to buy the company. Second, meanwhile you’re charging the company millions of dollars in “management fees” (hence, I’m guessing, Sarkaty “Advisors”). And third, because ultimately it doesn’t matter if the company makes money, loses money or even goes bankrupt—you make you…

From Elon to Elizabeth: The 7 Seals of the 2022 Apocalypse

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…s in one, Elon just won’t go away and count his billions. He was forced to buy a social media site in an effort to lionize free speech so hard that he’s suspended hundreds, if not thousands, of accounts of journalists, activists, and everyday folk he doesn’t like or who speak out about fascism and White supremacy. After warning about doxxing and suspending accounts linking to his jet, Elon peskily doxxed himself at the World Cup in Qatar. Looks li…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

By Peter Laarman

…rs of currently identified white Christian nationalists, shocking as those numbers might be. Christian nationalism and settled ideas about white freedom have always danced together, of course. The formula “free, white, and 21” never needed the word “Christian”—it was implicit among those who used it. And here’s the point: deeply rooted notions about white freedom harden the fist of Christian nationalism by adding an extra degree of impunity, sugge…

When the Golden Rule is Used to Silence Dissent and Protect the Politically Powerful

By John Stoehr

…le energy resources. Therefore, ma’am [Ocasio-Cortez], you’re not going to buy off Texans for your green new deal energy pipe dream for $2 million” [my italics]. Ocasio-Cortez did not blame Texas politicians for the straits they’re in. Her pitch has not been “screechy,” as Frank Bruni wrote. Her manner has not been “savage.” She has been living up to the Golden Rule according to Bruni’s advice. But what does she get in return? Lies, slander, conte…

Ringing in a Christian Nationalist 2019 With an Even Larger Legislative Playbook

By Frederick Clarkson

…om all of this would just be don’t play on their turf,” Platt said. “Don’t buy into their idea that all religious exemptions enhance religious liberty, and don’t buy into an inherent conflict between religious liberty and civil rights. These exemptions are … actually violating religious liberty.” It’s important to underscore that, although the Christian Right will have its ups and downs politically and electorally, and although their state legisla…

Bobby Jindal Hypes His Christian Cred at Liberty U.

By Murali Balaji

…And it’s quite routine for some to hype their credentials in order to get buy-in from their audience. Just think of rappers (many of whom come from middle-class backgrounds) exaggerating their street cred in order to win over suburban kids who buy their music. But there’s another take that resonates deeply with Hindu-Americans like me: Jindal’s conversion as an attempt to escape bullying and the constant scrutiny of what it’s like to be an Other…

“The Slut Assumption”: Myths About Jewelry Reveal Diamonds Aren’t Always A Girl’s Best Friend

By Wendy Doniger

…it would make women more thoughtful about letting jewelry—and the men who buy them jewelry—have too much power over them. The younger generation of women nowadays often prefer to buy their own jewelry. . . . Are you hoping to just inform readers? Entertain them? Piss them off? Certainly to inform and entertain! Not really to piss off anyone but De Beers! What alternative title would you give the book? Are Diamonds Always a Girl’s Best Friend? Myt…

“Gospel of Jesus’ Wife” Less Durable Than Sexism Surrounding It

By Eva Mroczek

…s he buys: “We are storytellers first, and these items tell a story… We’re buyers of items to tell the story. We pass on more than we buy because it doesn’t fit what we are trying to tell.” There is no trope of the “ugly sister” What about the “ugly sister” metaphor? There is no such trope, Askeland claims. “Ugly” refers to the paleography—the sloppy handwriting on the forged fragment. “Sister” simply refers to “sister” fragments, related texts th…

Why Do Mormons Side with People Who Don’t Like Mormons?

By Joanna Brooks

…to fight intolerance against immigrants and Muslims. But too many Mormons buy into a naive notion of Mormon exceptionalism: the logic that LDS people, by virtue of our clean-living and shiny goodness, can ultimately win anyone over, if they get to know us well enough. I don’t buy it. We shouldn’t be surprised that people and organizations that countenance prejudicial behavior of other varieties—the Boy Scouts, for example, have a terrible record…

A Matter of Life and Debt: The Role of Religion

By Peter Laarman

…0 years in the manner of a cancer or tape worm: think of all the leveraged buyouts in which the assets are pillaged and the workers sent home. The financial sector is also a cancer on our politics, spending vastly more money to buy votes in Congress than any other sector except (wait for it!) the health care industry. The cancer metastasizes because of the outsize profits and pay in the finance sector: 60 percent higher than in other sectors requi…
