In a world of Dave Smiths, be a John Spencer.

In a sane world, when a civilian is kidnapped from a music festival and reappears nearly two years later, starved, abused, and filmed digging his own grave, people care. So where is the Red Cross? Where is the UN? Where are the human rights activists? Do your job.

A charedi father takes his son to enlist - one of the very, very rare exceptions - and they are attacked. Meanwhile, there's a huge shortage of soldiers, forcing reservists to leave their studies and jobs and families for months on end. And for a year and a half of war, the government has done nothing about it. The government does not sanction those who evade enlistment, and does not take action against charedi leaders who tell their followers to disregard draft notices (even though this is a crime), and assures charedi leaders that they will not draft charedim. It's an absolute disgrace and a danger to us all.

So here’s my logic as to why I’m watching the Rangers tonight (other than to hear Sam & JD unite). The Rangers have about a 1% chance to make the playoffs. They are about 3% to win their final 5 games and the Canadians are about 1/3 to get 2 or fewer points in their last 4 games. Now, I will conservatively give the Rangers a 1/3 chance of winning any playoff series (I’d argue that Igor alone makes that number higher). So we’ll assign a 1/81 shot to them willing the Stanley cup if they make the playoffs. Combining those, if the season was played out from here 8100 times, the Rangers will hoist the cup just once. Extremely unlikely? Yes. Impossible? No. 1/8100 events do happen. Let’s compare it to winning the PowerBall lottery with one ticket. Your odds are 1 in 292,201,338. Divide that by 8100 and the Rangers win the cup from here over 36,000x more times than you would win the PowerBall lottery if you bought a ticket. Believe! 😜😜😜 @NYRangers @MollieeWalkerr @JoeFortunatoBSB

Remember when New York Times staff threw a tantrum over a Republican senator’s op-ed? We heard no complaints from NYT staff about publishing an op-ed by a Hamas-appointed mayor over Christmas. That tells you everything you need to know about the state of our media.
