On Wednesday, Dec. 15, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard continued to make a name for himself by helping the Lakers escape Dallas with an overtime victory. For the uninitiated, former Lakers guard Alex Caruso was previously memed for receiving an “honorary to-go plate” on the team as a scrappy player his teammates loved. Now, another Los Angeles player holds that honor. Austin Reaves, who was signed by the Lakers after being unselected in the 2021 NBA Draft, has carved a role similar to Caruso through the early portion of the 2021-22 season....

Tarrant is known as a white supremacist and live-streamed the attacks on Facebook, and after his arrest, he told officers he planned to attack one more mosque and burn down all three after the shootings and wished he had done so, the Associated Press reported.

For me, this confirmed what I had been trying in vain to explain to foreign journalists who visited me in the ’70s and ’80s: that when they encounter a totalitarian society, they must not be fooled by its surface. It looks like everyone is loyal and the regime will be here for centuries, that nothing will ever change, and it’s easy to believe that. I remember how various foreign visitors were saying that we’re just a group of fools, people who are beating our heads against the wall, and that we aren’t supported by the public....
