Happy Monday! Welcome to a new week of Brew. The pot’s full, so let’s get pouring. Phil Beats Father TimeGolf legend Phil Michelson won the PGA Championship Sunday night, becoming the oldest golfer to win a major ever. EVER. Michelson is 50 years, 11 months 6 and days old. The previous record had been held by Julius Boros, who was 48 years, 4 months and 18 days old when he won the PGA Championship in 1968. Making Phil’s feat even more impressive? Before last night, he hadn’t won a major since 2013. It’s his sixth major win in total. Good News-Bad News For JewsGood News: The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas has now held for three8 days (as of Sunday night.) Talks are continuing on how to extend and expand the calm. Bad News: Violence against American Jews has continued on our streets. Mike Huckabee has already written eloquently about “The Wave of Anti-Semitism Attacks on Across America.” But we have more: On Sunday, 29-year-old Ali Alaheri was arrested for attempting to burn down a Brooklyn synagogue and a Jewish school last Wednesday. Another man named Waseem Awawdeh was arrested last week in the brutal assault on a Jewish man. By Thursday, he’d been released. On Sunday, Awawdeh promised to attack again. On Saturday, worshippers at a Brooklyn synagogue were accosted by a group shouting, “Free Palestine. Kill all the Jews.” Also Saturday a group of Jewish teens was surrounded and threatened by a mob armed baseball bats and yelling, “Kill all the Jews!” Good News: Those teens were rescued by a Muslim Uber driver who happened by the scene. Good New in the Face of Bad: In Los Angeles’s predominantly Jewish Fairfax District, a neighborhood watch has formed to help people from the Orthodox Jewish community walk home safely. “A lot of people are definitely scared,” actor Jonathan Lipinski told The Los Angeles Times. “It’s a scary time for the Jewish community.” FYI, Lipinski was the ridiculously adorable kid in the Tom Cruise classic Jerry Maguire. He’s now a Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt who took his first shift on the neighborhood watch Saturday. Kamala’s Wipes Off South Korean President’s Germs. But At Least She Was There.On Friday, Kamala Harris — rather than Joe Biden — met with South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in at the White House. This is hardly the first time Harris has inexplicably filled in for Biden in meetings with heads of state. In fact, Thursday she was the one taking a call from Jordan’s King Abdullah II as Hamas missiles rained down on Israel. Harris tweeted she and Moon discussed North Korea, global health and — for some reason — the “root causes” of Central American migration to U.S. However it’s what Harris did after the meeting that’s caused a ruckus. At the joint press conference Harris shook President Moon’s hand and immediately wiped her hand on her leg. Imagine if Donald Trump had done that. I mean, the media gave him endless grief for feeding koi fish the wrong way in Japan. Koi Fish! Up for TodayJust up this morning, The Stream’s John Zmirak had a fascinating interview with Steven Meyer, Author of The Return of the God Hypothesis. John calls it “Scientist Steven Meyer Answers the Tough Questions Darwinists Don’t Even Ask.” A must read. And finally, congratulations to Dan Bongino. His new radio show premieres today in Rush’s old timeslot. His first guest, none other than the man who brought “YMCA” back in vogue, one Donald J. Trump. Let’s get our hearts pumping and our Monday jumping! |
