Just four months ago she ditched Pen for Mich and went to the radical who caused the uproar and the victory march, and our fears were gone as water fell hard and we unlearned it all in the cold.

My biggest beef with Kamala is Salad. Too much salad and not enough beef.

The Manhattan Institute poll adds to the increasing body of evidence that support for the Democratic Party and its candidates among American Jews has declined in recent years. The decline tracks with Democratic policies and attitudes toward Israel — particularly since Oct.7. These American Jews must wake up to the reality that the historic and principled loyalty toward Israel from the U.S. is no longer assured. Those in the Democratic Party itself, from its highest leaders to its future base, have revealed that their commitment to Israel is tenuous and they are not consistently in line with the American Jewish community. The clear lack of loyalty toward Israel and the disturbingly minimal support American Jews have received in the face of so much violence and antisemitism should be sufficient evidence to end the long-standing Jewish relationship with the Democratic Party.

If you liked inflation, imagine more funkinomics.

You want it? You got it!

This could actually be the effect of time's backwards motion that is rarely seen.

Yes being Jewish doesn't mean I'm believing in the big tent myth. We are not living inside a tent. These people like pretending that they care about us. We like it when we are told that they got our interests at heart. But I've grown weary of false promises, I know they are just lies dressed up in gold. I won't be the fool no more, and neither should you!

Yes, some away from home spots must be gaining attentionYes, a fascinating "Third-Place Revival" is actively happening, but the new spaces gaining massive attention look completely different than the dark bars or quiet cafes of the 1991–2011 era.Instead of passive spaces where you just sit and consume a product, the away-from-home spots booming right now are built entirely around shared activities and low-pressure physical participation. People are looking for connection, but they want a reason to be in the room together.Several specific away-from-home spots are commanding a massive wave of cultural attention:1. Activity-First Social ClubsThe Run Club Boom: Organized run clubs and walking groups have completely transformed into the "new bar scene". Platforms like Strava reported that new club creations nearly quadrupled recently, turning exercise into a primary venue for low-stakes mingling and post-workout socializing.Board Game Cafes: Places like Sip & Play in Brooklyn or Game Point in Nashville are surging. Having a physical board game on the table lowers the social anxiety of talking to strangers; the activity provides an immediate, built-in conversation piece.2. Wellness Spaces as Nightlife AlternativesThe Cold Plunge Culture: Wellness centers and bathhouses like Othership are exploding as alcohol-free alternatives to the weekend bar. Instead of drinking in a dark lounge, groups of people are gathering late into the night for structured sauna, breathwork, and ice bath circuits.Experiential Grocery Socials: Grocery stores built to encourage lingering are trending heavily as neighborhood hangouts. Local, independent, and high-end grocers are embedding tasting bars, private chef pop-ups, and cooking classes right into the shopping aisles, turning the weekly errand into a social event.3. The "Silent" and Independent Bookstore ResurgenceThe Barnes & Noble Rebound: Once left for dead by the internet, Barnes & Noble is opening dozens of new stores because people are craving the tactile act of physical browsing and discovery alongside other humans.Silent Book Clubs: Local bookshops are seeing packed houses for "Silent Book Clubs". People show up to a cafe or bar, read their own physical books in companionable silence for an hour, and then grab a drink and chat afterward. It provides the perfect balance of a digital detox with built-in community.
