The world’s only one man media empire
While the two conflicts certainly aren’t the same, there are similarities after several years of fighting, but ironically, conservatives and progressives tend to take the opposite view of each. Admittedly, I have been skeptical of our efforts to help Ukraine prevail against the Russian invasion while being generally supportive of Israel’s efforts against Hamas in… Continue reading Gaza and Ukraine: A tale of two different forever wars
While it remains to be seen if a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Syria joining the Abraham Accords, and even a group of sheikhs in the West Bank, will come to fruition, clearly something has changed radically in the region over the past six months and just as clearly, that something is President Trump. Shortly… Continue reading A Big, Beautiful Peace Deal in the Middle East?
We have reason to be concerned about the risks of unintended consequences, but we shouldn’t ignore the historical context either, pretending like most Democrats and much of the mainstream media that this conflict somehow sprung into existence with Israel’s air campaign barely ten days ago. There is no doubt that President Donald Trump’s decision to… Continue reading The strike on Iran, the importance of historical context, and the use of overwhelming force
Previously, I had opined that just when you thought the Biden-Harris foreign policy couldn’t get any worse it does. I followed that up by claiming that we’re an impotent bystander in world affairs, but somehow they have managed to continue to reach depths previously thought unreachable. Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made… Continue reading Biden and Harris demand peace in the Middle East despite a string of victories that might actually secure it, while seeking total victory in Ukraine even as Russia continues to flaunt their growing power
The President appeared before the UN General Assembly to brag about himself and lie about a peace plan for the Middle East that his own Administration has scrapped. Even worse, the Administration admits that despite months of effort, there is no Plan B and no way forward from here to end the bloodshed. It’s official: … Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy is so bad, even CNN can barely spin it anymore
Under anything resembling normal circumstances, the spectacle of a massive protest by members of the Democrat Party outside the Democrat National Convention would garner at least a few words, but the need to buttress the largely false narrative of joy and unity overwhelms honesty and integrity. To hear the mainstream media tell it, the Democrat… Continue reading The DNC’s prevailing narrative is so far from the truth it might as well be a broadcast from another dimension
Rather than believing this is an existential conflict that requires a clear winner on either side, she claimed it is not, in fact, a “binary” issue. The thousands of protesters in DC a day earlier, including musician Dave Matthews, would beg to disagree. Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the ongoing war in Gaza… Continue reading Kamala Harris, Dave Matthews, and the truth about our binary choice in Gaza
The media will try, but you cannot reconcile a “man who has lived history,” “one of advancing age and broad experience” who can only converse in a “sometimes scattershot way.” A President with a “stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax” that holds “fast to a vision that has reigned since World War II, in… Continue reading Biden’s awful interview with Time Magazine and the media’s desperate attempt to resuscitate a dying Presidency
It took former Friends actor David Schwimmer to state the obvious about the protests sweeping American campuses, “If this were any other minority group the response would have been immediate outrage and action. And yet this antisemitism grows, spreading from middle school to high school to college campuses nationwide…” It’s a sign of our bizarre… Continue reading Splitting antisemitic hairs with an electron microscope
It is no exaggeration to say that if one of these wanna-be protesters was transported back in time, they would run screaming for the present in less than five minutes, seeking whatever safe space they could find because there were none back then. As anti-Israel if not outright antisemitic protests sweep major college campuses, the… Continue reading Occupied Academia: Today’s wanna-be activists have a lot to learn about the 1960s and should have a lot more respect for their fellow students
