In fact, until the Christmas tsunami hit us, Chanukah was so detested by Judaism that the books of I and II Maccabees, which describe the holiday (minus the miracle of the oil!), were not even included in the final codex of the Hebrew Bible.

The rabbis so hated the message of Chanukah that on the Sabbath closest to Chanukah they required the reading of the prophetic critique of Zachariah that true victory comes, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (4:6)....

Conway engaged in a Twitter thread between several doctors and neurologists on Thursday discussing Trump’s psychiatric condition. “The word ‘insane’ is not currently in vogue and has nonspecific meaning both psychiatrically and legally. It is usually used for people with psychosis. Trump is delusional, but not psychotic,” Eliot Ivanhoe, a classical acupuncturist and neurologist, tweeted." He is, however, nuts, crazy, mad, bonkers, and certainly not sane. I call him ‘INSANE....

49ers Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle finally gets to hold his long-awaited tight end summit this summer, hosting a tight-ends only event alongside the recently retired Greg Olsen and Chiefs pass catcher Travis Kelce — but there’s an interesting ommission from the group.
