Dem Rep. Al Green Postpones Impeachment Efforts to Mourn Vegas Victims

But surely this moment of sanity won't last long.

In a stunning show of humanity, Democratic congressman Al Green of Texas announced he is suspending his efforts to have Donald Trump impeached.
Green’s initial plan included bringing the articles of impeachment to the House floor but in the wake of the massacre in Las Vegas, he said now is not the right time.
"Mr. Speaker, there is a right time for all things,” Green said. “This is a time for our nation to mourn and for hearts to heal. Mr. Speaker, I announce that impeachment is postponed. Let us mourn, let us heal.”
Seeing as the majority Republican Senate wouldn’t vote to impeach the president, Green’s effort is all drama and no substance. Perhaps both he and Maxine Waters can take an indefinite break in calling for Trump’s impeachment and let him do the business the American people voted for him to do. Yes, there is a right time for all things, and the time for pursuing this is way past over. Act like your own superPAC and MoveOn.

Anti-Israel NY Times Reporter to Speak at Center for Jewish History

His column is an “an off-putting muddle of contempt for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

The Center for Jewish History, whose CEO David N. Myers is a supporter of a boycott of Israel and a leader of numerous anti-Israel organizations, is perhaps unsurprisingly hosting a lecture by a notably anti-Israel New York Times columnist, Roger Cohen, on October 15th.
Among other gems, Cohen wrote  he was willing to look past British politician Jeremy Corbyn’s “long flirtation” with the Hamas terrorist group because Corbyn would be reliably anti-Trump. As The Algemeiner recently reported, Omri Ceren, an official at the Israel Project — a pro-Israel advocacy group — wrote on Twitter: “NYT columnist: it’s true Corbyn is a Hamas-supporting, Israel-hating, NATO-bashing, Soviet-flirting loon… but he’s anti-Trump!”
Ceren described the Times columnist’s view as “deranged.” Toby Harshaw, a former colleague of Cohen’s at the New York Times editorial page who has since escaped to the relatively more sensible precincts of Bloomberg View, tweeted out an image of the offending Cohen paragraph with the apparently exasperated comment, “Oh good lord Roger Cohen.”
In October 2016,  Cohen inaccurately characterized Israel’s policies and called on America to undercut Israel at the United Nations.
No friend of Israel, Tablet Magazine once ran an article titled, “Top 5 Dumbest Roger Cohen lines on Israel and Iran,” in which they described his opinion column as an “an off-putting muddle of contempt for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.” Among his “head-scratchers”:  “The real challenge to Israel as a Jewish and democratic nation is the failure to achieve a two-state peace with the Palestinians and the prolongation of a West Bank occupation that leaves Israel overseeing millions of disenfranchised Palestinians,” and “Iran has long been an effective distraction from the core dilemma of the Jewish state: Palestine. But global impatience with this diversionary strategy is running high.”
One undoubtedly should expect more anti-Israel programming at the Center for Jewish History under the leadership of David N. Myers.

Celebrity Leftists Blame Conservatives for Las Vegas Massacre

“The NRA is a terrorist organization.”

Most celebrities aren’t known for their sharp wit, extensive knowledge, or keen perspective. Talent and looks don’t necessarily accompany great minds, and that fact is perhaps most painfully obvious when the famous and fortunate choose to weigh in on political issues.
Case in point: the predictably leftwing and dreadfully daft celebrity reaction to the nightmarish mass murder in Las Vegas Sunday night. Putting the “twit” in Twitter, many in the entertainment industry just can’t help themselves. On Monday, singer Lady Gaga joined the chorus of foolishness by accusing Republicans of having “blood [on their] hands”:
Failed CNN host Piers Morgan (who, curiously, also has neither talent nor looks) continued the obsessive diatribe that cost him his show on the Cable News Network:
Atheist writer Richard Dawkins brought particular humiliation upon himself with this:
“Comedian” Michael Ian Black called the NRA “a terrorist organization,” while every Democrat’s favorite female superstar—Hillary Clinton—tweeted, with showstopping irony:
Not only is the blaming of conservatives for one man’s evil act irrational, but the Left’s attempt to turn a national tragedy into political currency is a shameful exploitation of those individuals and loved ones who have been devastated by this horror.
There was a time when the political views of singers and actors were judiciously kept from the limelight by studios and record labels; there were good reasons for that. Today, one has to ask: why would the rich and famous want to insult half of the very audience that affords them the luxury of having such a public voice? And more puzzlingly, how can these people hold such a breathtakingly immature view of the world—one in which they believe that the same person who will break the punishable-by-death law against mass murder would obey the punishable-by-incarceration law against buying an illegal weapon?
