Elected Democrats who fail to take on left wing antisemitism because they are afraid of alienating far left voters are no better than the Republicans who failed to take on right wing antisemitism because they are afraid of alienating far right voters. (2/2)

It appears the horrific arson and attempted murder of Governor Shapiro, family and guests at the governor’s mansion was motivated by left wing antisemitism.

Not enough Democrats speak out against it, just as not enough Republicans speak out against right wing antisemitism (1/2).

I know one thing Donald Trump could do that would make me and almost every Democrat stand up and applaud.

Resign.

If you ever want to know why Trump is so very, very bad for Israel, you just saw it.

If you don't think he can flip on Israel as he just did on Ukraine, you are kidding yourself. You're also kidding Israeli intelligence because they've assessed the same thing.

Senator McCain once said, "it's always darkest before it turns completely black."

I'll never be embarrassed to be an American. But our President's behavior was disgraceful.

I'd say it's par for the course for Donald Trump except it's probably more like double bogey for the course.

As part of the work on our new Comprehensive Plan, I've been reading our 1967 Comprehensive Plan. There’s a lot in the 1967 Plan which is interesting, surprising and sometimes contradicts what some view as conventional wisdom. Here’s what the 1967 Plan projected our zoning to look like in 2000.

Upper Merion Township recently passed an ordinance which provides volunteers with one of our fire companies the opportunity to earn points towards an Upper Merion Township real estate tax rebate, possibly up to a 100% township real estate tax rebate on your primary dwelling.

Hamas is a nothing more than a brutal, antisemitic terrorist organization. Attempting to pass along a mysterious 3rd body as Shiri Bibas isn't just a treaty violation, it's grotesque.

I was wearing my blue #USA hoodie much of the day. I'm a big hockey fan and obviously I'm rooting hard for our country. Unfortunately some bozos in Boston were booing the Canadian National Anthem. Thankfully they were immediately drowned out. #GoUSA #USAvCanada #4Nations
