Top blogging of December — Israel-Gaza related

As normal,  these were the most read items of last month, but not necessarily written last month, and I'll note posts that weren't "fresh."

At No. 10? I said, on behalf of Kate Cox, fuck the Texas Supreme Court. Related? No. 3 was a Texas Progressives weekly roundup that was in part about her.

In No. 9, I noted that, once again, for a variety of reasons, that vaunted Texas economic miracle just isn't.

At No. 8? I wrote in 2020 about Jesse Singal stanning for an odious letter in Harper's Magazine, odious because many of its signers who were bitching about alleged cancel culture were and are themselves big practitioners of a particular type of cancel culture — Zionists cancelling any pro-Palestinian comment. People like Bari Weiss. I posted it in a comment at Ken White's Substack and it's retrending.

No. 7? I said in June that I might owe Sam Husseini an apology over not just a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology but possible bioweaponization. I'm still not sure that I owe such apology; "might" is still the operative word.

No. 6? For some reason, my top blogging of November piece trended.

No. 5? RIP Craig Watkins, the trailblazing Dallas County DA who gave himself some self-inflicted wounds and was also kneecapped by Jim Schutze.

No. 4? I called out The Nation (which will do its normal sheepdogging next year) for running another piece of dreck by "goysplaning" Alexis Grenell. This one was about Israel-Gaza, natch. And, beyond dreck, I noted it was 190-proof hasbara.

No. 2? Also about cancel culture, but fresh. It's about the #BlueAnon world that wants to cancel a Frasier reboot cuz Kelsey Grammer but not a Spinal Tap reboot, despite Genocide Rob Reiner.

And, in No. 1, .....

Drumroll ...

My take on the #AbandonBiden movement by Muslim movers, shakers and past Democratic donors.
