The Washington Free Beacon

During the opening credits of About Last Night, we hear before we see two men having a conversation about a one-night stand. F-bombs proliferate, there is a crude, offhand discussion of female body parts, and a considerable amount of speculation about whether the female in question might, in fact, be a prostitute. "Was she a pro?" one man asks. "You think she hadn’t been around? Hadn’t done the route?" the other responds.

(Amazon) Forget Lucy yanking the football out from under Charlie Brown. No matter how many times Jews are betrayed by their neighbors, they never cease to be surprised by those who turn against them. As in cartoons, this sequence is built into the Jewish condition.

Our country's long fascination with the Weather Underground—the terrorist group that came out of the New Left radical group, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)—evidently continues. Hollywood has been obsessed. In 1988 Sidney Lumet's Running on Empty—whose lead characters were based on the WU leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn—earned Naomi Foner an Oscar nomination for best screenplay. Then in 2012, director Robert Redford directed and acted in The Company You Keep.

The British obsession with the spies who worked for the Soviet Union from the 1930s until the early 1950s rivals the American fascination with the case of Alger Hiss. Recruited from Cambridge University, Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross have been analyzed, interpreted, and puzzled over in scores of books and articles.

After dealing a significant blow to Iran's war machine, Donald Trump hoped to extricate the country from further conflict in the Persian Gulf. Last month's memorandum of understanding set a 60-day period for further negotiations, during which oil would flow freely out of the Gulf.

Manny Rutinel (Wikimedia Commons/Andybosselman) and César Santiago Rutinel Dominguez The Democratic nominee in Colorado's competitive Eighth Congressional District, Manny Rutinel, frequently leans on his upbringing by a single mother on the campaign trail and in fundraising emails. He has left out any mention of his father, who is part of a powerful, long-running political dynasty in the Dominican Republic.

Sarah Jukaku (mindworkpsychiatry.com), Abdul El-Sayed (Sarah Rice/Getty Images) Left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed has railed against doctors who don't accept Medicaid, arguing that they "discriminate" against "black communities" and perpetuate "long-held deep racism and structural racism." That criticism would apply to his wife, a psychiatrist who operates a private practice that does not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or any other insurance.

A Gazan religious school funded by U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) held a contest for children to illustrate "the suffering of our brave prisoners inside the occupation’s prisons," just a month before the State Department awarded the embattled U.N. charity more than $200 million. This latest example of UNICEF’s ties to anti-Israel extremists could fuel fresh concerns about American investment in the troubled U.N. charity.

Hunter Biden's victory lap after securing a $1.7 million defamation judgment against former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne was short-lived. Last week, a federal judge in California ordered Byrne to pay Biden for falsely accusing him of participating in an $800 million Iranian bribery scheme while his father was president. The younger Biden celebrated the decision, and accused Byrne of hiding in Dubai to evade depositions and hearings in the lawsuit.
