By Peter Manseau

…t was used to score an indelible moment in Stephen Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, in which a little girl in red runs unnoticed through the black and white world of Nazi-occupied Poland. Only later do we see her in a pile of bodies. Despite its frequent dramatic use as a death knell, the popularity of “Oyfn Pripetchik” continues no doubt thanks to its theme of the resilience of Jewish memory. Following the lyrics above, the point at which the singin…

…a media blackout of the event. Meanwhile, his own daughter has joined the list of folks condemning the event. She called his church a “cult” that uses “mental violence.” Not to be left out in denouncing things, Angelina Jolie also condemned the plan. President Obama called it a “recruitment bonanza” for radical Islamic groups. “Recruitment bonanza” sounds more like a white-collar job fair than an act of Islamophobia.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…l issues in the forefront. “Social issues should be at the very top of the list of priorities for the new Congress, along with sensible fiscal policies,” Concerned Women for America leader Penny Nance responded in her own letter. “I’d like to know which one—support for the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, eliminating taxpayer dollars from funding embryonic stem cell research, or defunding Planned Parenthood—the signers of the GOProud letter h…

…d Nations, Grenell fought unsuccessfully to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed among the spouses in the United Nations’s Blue Book, a personnel directory. “It’s concerning that you would have somebody tapped to be potentially in an administration that would continue the policies that we’re seeing in the Obama administration,” Perkins said. See, it’s all a matter of presentation. Perkins knows enough not to go rhetorically off the rails like Fis…

By Paul Harvey

…rs. From there, candidate Trump moved through the fairly customary laundry list of Republican talking points—school choice, Hillary’s emails, the secret plan to defeat ISIS, the need for a conservative to appoint the Scalia replacement, Hillary’s responsibility for North Korea’s nukes, and so on and on.

By Frederick Clarkson

…used to provide abortions. The main effect was to remove abortion from the list of medical services that could be paid for through the federal Medicaid program. Many reproductive rights supporters saw it as an affront to poor women who would, in effect, be denied access to abortion care. But a creeping Washington consensus emerged during the current debate on health care reform that took many by surprise: The Hyde Amendment is now seen as a modera…
