The incendiary Olivier Award–winning play Giant, which premiered in London last year, comes to Broadway this spring with a regrettably timely message. The titular giant is Roald Dahl, the cantankerous, 6′ 6”, much-loved children’s author. The drama takes place during a 1983 summer luncheon and afternoon hosted by Dahl (John Lithgow) and his soon-to-be second wife, Felicity Crosland (Rachael Stirling). The guests are his British publisher (Elliott Levey) and his American publisher’s sales representative (Aya Cash), both of whom are Jewish. Worried about sales of Dahl’s new book, The Witches, the publishers want the irascible author to craft an apology for…

A new poll found that six in ten Americans now have an unfavorable view of Israel. Young Americans have a negative view of Israel.  The Pew survey released on Tuesday reported that overall, 60% said they have an unfavorable view of Israel. In 2022, only 42% of Americans held negative views of Israel.  There was a sharp divide between Democrats and Republicans. 41% of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Israel; that number is double with Democrats. There was also a large split between younger and older Americans. 70% of Americans under 50 had an unfavorable view of Israel, including…

Photograph Source: Ser Amantio di Nicolao – CC BY-SA 4.0 Israel is losing on all fronts. And it’s not just multiple Merkava tanks incinerated by Hezbollah or Tel Aviv high-rises pulverized by Iranian missiles. In the days before April 1, Israel lost the governments of Spain, France and Italy. And it ain’t doin’ too well with the U.K., either. In a word, Jerusalem lost Europe, except maybe for that one historically guilt-convulsed holdout – Germany. France forbade Israeli use of its airspace to transfer U.S. weapons for the Iran War; whereupon, tit for tat as it cut off its nose…

Republican Sen. Mike Lee said that he believes there are “at least tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands” of noncitizens illegally registered to vote in the U.S., adding that a federal tool used in nearly two dozen states would help identify the number. But the tool has wrongly flagged many as being noncitizens, and there’s no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting.  The data-matching program employed in those states over the last year identified about 10,000 potential noncitizens on voter registration lists, out of about 49 million voter registrations checked, according to reporting by the New York Times citing federal…

In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation. Joshua Scheer What did I say this morning? So much for the “college try.” It didn’t even last a day. I never expected anything real to come from this — not from a United States that is not only losing ground, but losing face in full view of the world. This wasn’t strength at the table. It was the…

Now that Whitley Strieber has come forward to talk with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, taking advantage of the current UFO infatuation to peddle his usual woozy stuff, it made me recall the review I wrote of Strieber’s later book, The Key. I am wondering how much of Whitley’s wacky claims Corbell and Knapp even know about. Do they still think that Strieber is credible? By the way, in this interview posted June 27, Whitley says, “I think we’re right on the edge of the truth coming out, I think we’re very close” to UFO Disclosure. Let’s add this to…

I went to a chiropractor in the 1980s for a stiff neck that had not improved after a month. A coworker praised him with the evangelical certainty usually reserved for miracle diets, used car salesmen, and people who have just read one book on nutrition. I was skeptical but adventurous, which is how most regrettable life decisions begin. The adjustment worked. My neck improved. Worse still, my chronic asthma improved as well.At the time, I was deeply unhappy in my first professional job after earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in applied behavioral science at Wright…
