My latest in the American Thinker: White supremacist Richard Spencer is back in the news again for endorsing Joe Biden, which means that I am once again being inundated with furious messages from morons who cannot distinguish between Richard Spencer and Robert Spencer.

The New York Times, Aftenposten, Robert Spencer, Richard Spencer, and journalistic standards in 2019
The New York Times and Norway’s Aftenposten are both respected pillars of “journalism,” but neither would know the facts if they came up to them and yelled “Extry! Extry!

The question about neo-Nazis and the gym […]
Why are the loudest proponents of “tolerance” and “peace” so frequently ugly, hateful people?
Not physically ugly, but ugly deep in their souls. Georgetown University professor Christine Fair happened upon neo-Nazi Richard Spencer, who is not me, at a gym and began berating him.
