Need help identifying source of this dovetail

Pretty sure it's from Orion, I believe that's where I bought mine.

In 5 1/2 seconds, Victor Davis Hanson just annihilates the Left in this video. He doesn't hold back and he is spot on

I liked the part where he lambasted Fox News and the right wing media for their continuous reporting of how the election was stolen! I also enjoyed his comments on the neo-nazi and white supremacist groups and their hatred of the Jews. His insight into the cancel culture was especially relevant when he showed the image of a couple of Bud Light beers. He sure annihilated the people who sent death threats to Ken Buck for voting against Jim Jordan. Yep, he is spot on....

I would post these pictures and questions on Cloudynights website. Probably get some responses that way.

The disgusting and vile Anti-Semitic Leftist Democrats just exposed themselves once again, yesterday as the vile, disgusting Jew hating individuals that they are.

Hey Richard, ever heard of the Proud Boys or "6MWE"?  Seems to me that they qualify as "disgusting and vile Anti-Semitic jew hating individuals", except they are on your side. How about changing the title of this thread to reflect REALITY?

Another bit of reality: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-voting-record-in-u-s-presidential-elections

From the article: American Jews tend to favor Democratic candidates, with 71% of Jewish voters choosing Democratic candidates on average and 26% choosing Republicans since 1968.

The bottom line: There is anti-Semitism from the extremes on both sides of the political isle and anyone who believes that it is coming exclusively from one side is NOT LIVING IN REALITY.

Richard, maybe you should go back to elementary school so you can learn how to READ! Please point out in my post where I defended college presidents, professors or students. All I did was to provide evidence that people on your side can be just as despicable and vile as on my side.

So when Trump told the Proud Boys to "stand down and stand by", that indicates that they have no power? The president of the United States specifically mentions them because they have no power. You are truly a genius! 
If Democrats are so Anti-Semitic, why is it that Jews vote for Dems more than they vote for Republicans as I showed you earlier?
Margie Taylor Greene says the fires in California are caused by Jewish space lasers, Donald Trump dines with an anti-Semite white supremacist or Kevin McCarthy says "We cannot allow Soros, Steyer, and Bloomberg to BUY this election!", but do we hear you calling them vile and despicable? NO, not a whisper.

As long winded as your titles and posts are these days, it's obvious who the heavy breathing person is. 😲

Richard, did Donald Trump who you revere and worship like a God have dinner with the presidents of Penn State, MIT and Harvard or was it Nick Fuentes and Kanye West?
