Frankly, I was horrified by the coverage of Israel’s retaliatory strikes on October 29th. Horrified by the headlines claiming, “strikes kill more than 100 in Gaza.” And horrified by the mainstream media’s coverage of this entire Gaza war. The mainstream media has been hijacked by Hamas. Hijacked by Muslim movements that want to see Israel exterminated

In September, when Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, sat down for nearly an hour in a private session with Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky asked for American Tomahawk missiles. Then, two days ago, on October 6th, Trump told reporters that before making a decision he wanted to clarify exactly how the
In just two days, September 22nd and 23rd, President Donald Trump’s perception of the Russian war against Ukraine changed dramatically. After speaking at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, President Trump met Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and left with a whole new view of the Ukraine war. Remember February 28th, 2025, just seven months ago,
Some think Donald Trump is ridding us of criminals. Others think Trump is shredding the constitution and turning the USA into a dictatorship. Which one is right? A huge positive for Donald Trump came out of the mouth of Muriel Bowser, Washington, DC’s Democratic mayor on Wednesday, August 27th. To understand the magnitude of what
Wednesday, July 23rd, at 5 pm in a keynote address to the White House “Winning the Race” AI Summit at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump issued his AI Action Plan. His Artificial Intelligence Action Plan. That plan called for unleashing innovation by removing the barriers of federal regulation. It called for
According to Pew Research, politics is one of the biggest causes of our discontent. Politics, says Pew, angers and exhausts us. And this week has been rich in political events that may have angered and exhausted you. Polls show we are concerned about the economy, concerned about the sky-high costs of medical treatment, concerned about inflation,
Why can’t there be world peace? Because every great nation wants to be on top. That means China, Russia, and the USA are battling to be the number one nation on earth. Why? Because biology has built something strange into us: the pecking order, the social totem pole, the ladder of status, what scientists call the “dominance hierarchy.” And
At 6:01 pm on the evening of May 20th, CNN published a story reporting that, “The US has obtained intelligence suggesting that Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.” The story, says CNN, came from “multiple us officials familiar with the latest intelligence.” And what was their data source? “Private messaging from senior Israeli officials,
Today’s world is driving some of us insane. Especially us liberal Democrats. Why? The realities we take for granted are heaving beneath our feet. For example, Democrats believe that standard ethical and moral norms have been swallowed by a sinkhole. On May 14th, our president openly used his Saudi trip to make business deals for his family.
On April 22nd, in a scenic valley in the Western Himalayan mountains known for its breathtaking beauty, five armed men in military uniforms emerged from the pine forest, rounded up a group of tourists, forced the men to sit or kneel, asked each man his religion, and if the answer wasn’t Islam, killed him at
The mood of us Americans right now is flat out bonkers. One measure of the mood of the nation is the stock market, which lost almost thirteen trillion dollars in value from the day of our president’s inauguration to April 2nd, when our president took to the Rose Garden and announced sky-high tariffs on 180
On Monday, March 24, the Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer of the United States Postal Service, Louis DeJoy, announced that it was his last day in office. In other words, he resigned without notice. DeJoy had been in office for five years, since Donald Trump appointed him in 2020. And he had been a subject of
I’ve now seen death from two very different points of view. In 1988, I was hit by an illness without a name, an illness that would imprison me in my bedroom for the next fifteen years. Today it’s called myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome. I lost nearly everything that had made me me, the
In January, eight months ago, Nikki Haley said, ‘The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the one who wins this election.’ Nikki Haley may be right. The Democratic National Convention that took place at the United Center in Chicago the week of August 19th demonstrated something no one may have seen
Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech Wednesday, July 24th, was more powerful than those who hate him may realize. It was powerful for a simple reason: it focused on the importance of four forgotten American virtues: truth, character, decency and democracy. It was a speech about what Joe Biden ran on in 2019, saving the soul of
The current crisis over Joe Biden’s frailty has twisted Democrats like me in knots. Wednesday morning, July 10, actor George Clooney published an opinion piece in the New York Times calling for Joe Biden to leave the presidential race and make room for a younger candidate. Clooney joined seven other celebrities asking Biden to step
