The 50 Best Western Movies Ever Made
vulture.comThe history of movie Westerns more or less begins with the end of the Old West itself. We run down the 50 best examples of the genre, from The Searchers to True Grit and beyond.
Full disclosure: this list is in Vulture, which I don't really like, and doesn't include a single Western with Kirk Douglas or Audie Murphy, so it is suspect. But it's a goo starter list for people who don't know anything about Westerns.

When Concorde did a barrel roll: A history of the Airport films
cnet.comAs you social distance at home, remember that the '70s era was the golden age of the blockbuster disaster flick, and the Airport movies were the best of them all.
I saw “Airport ‘77” and “The Concorde... Airport '79” in the theater when they came out. I just rewatched both and the pure 70sness of these films is totally amazing. They are so much fun to watch. “Airport ‘77” has Jimmy Stewart, and Olivia de Havilland, and the costumes were designed by Edith Head. It’s crazy to me that I am old enough to have seen a film in the theater with their involvement.

Karine Jean-Pierre Hates Israel
nationalreview.comThough new White House press secretary Jean-Pierre doesn’t openly contend that Israel shouldn’t exist, her regurgitation of BDS talking points says just as much.
The Democrats have an antisemitism problem. So the fact that this woman is an antisemite (he Israel hatred is not mere criticism of policy-it is pathological) and the democrats have embraced her, and utterly failed to criticize her, is proof. There is antisemitism on both sides-but only one side routinely ignores and ELEVATES its antisemites.

No Ketanji Brown Jackson, Black Hebrew Israelites Are Not Hippies - They Are Vile Racists

‘New low’: Justin Trudeau tells Jewish member of Parliament she (and conservatives) ‘stand with people who wave swastikas’
twitchy.com"Trudeau is losing it."
The exploitation, for political gain of the worst crime in human history is common on both sides. However, only the left routinely call Jews “Nazis,” or say that they “stand with Nazis,” the second they disagree politically. It’s happened to me before. It’s not only absolutely disgusting-it’s hypocritical. They continually push the fiction, and did so long before Whoopi Goldberg, that Jews are white, and can therefore be labeled “white supremacists.” Leftists claim to be oh so racially and culturally sensitive. Aside from that, I haven’t seen a single swastika at the Freedom Convoy - so all of this is a lie. Which is also no surprise.

The Vanishing World of Neon Motel Signs - Atlas Obscura
atlasobscura.comA photographer has spent decades capturing these symbols of Americana and the open road.
I love these old signs. Many years ago, before everyone had a camera on their phone, I wanted to put together a coffee table book about old neon signs. That was in the '90s. It is very sad to watch the rapidity with which these signs are disappearing. It was/is an endemic part of Americana. Worse, their replacements are the boring, generic, sameness of the typical 21st century roadside experience, which has replaced style with monotony. Not just hotel signs either, but all signage. Have you seen Las Vegas lately? It looks a lot more like any other new urban environment than Las Vegas. It's just another symbol of the current American desire to replace individualism with conformity.

Despite the propaganda that FAR too many people believe, no other people has ever established a nation in the Land of Israel.
