The Shomer: Ye, Though I Walk Through the Valley of Death-Con 3
(UPDATE: Since this column was first published, Vice.com released a trove of clips from Tucker Carlson’s interview which never made it to air, and it’s added a significant wrinkle to developments.

U.S. House Candidate Aadland Doesn’t Reject Premise of Antisemitic Conspiracy Questions
Among his priority issues, Colorado Congressional candidate Erik Aadland lists “Protecting Israel.” The first-time candidate touts his “extensive time working in Israel,” and his “many dear friends, Jewish and Muslim,” who live there.

The Shomer — Redpilled in Aspen: Chabad JCC Hosts Election Fraud Attorney
In his play The Tempest, William Shakespeare wrote, “Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.” Sometime in the 19th Century, the quote morphed into the proverb, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”It strikes me a deeply apropos in some cases when it comes to today’s GOP and how politically conservative Jews seem okay with their proximity to the far-right.

‘Goyim Defense League’ Drops More Anti-Semitic Flyers in Parker
Over the weekend, the Goyim Defense League was at it again, distributing anti-Semitic flyers to residences in Parker with their usual schtick — “outing” Jews connected to the Biden administration and blaming them for everything related to COVID-19.

This time, at least in Colorado, however, it’s possible that the individual culprits have been identified.
