Commuter Stranded By Late Ferry Cancellation

Tucker Carlson's Claims About Jewish Identity Are Historically False
- Tucker Carlson promoted a conspiracy that many Israeli Jews aren't ethnically Jewish, a claim Eric Metaxas calls ignorant and historically false.
- Metaxas explains diaspora history, assimilation, and Nazi racial persecution as evidence against that theory.
Hockey Win Framed As A Patriotic Cultural Victory
