Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately

Boston University’s Ibram X. Kendi, Harvard’s Claudine Gay, and others reveal their inherent racism and ignorance with almost every single nonsensical statement they make. Would you rather be a Jewish white person in Palestine or a Muslim brown person in my majority white, decidedly middle class hometown of Hazlet, NJ?  “Whiteness prevents white people from… Continue reading Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately

Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find

Remember when the Tea Party movement that formed under President Barack Obama was maligned as a racist haven for white supremacy by many of the same people who are now studiously avoiding a discussion of the rampant antisemitism in their midst? In principle, it is possible to be a supporter of Palestine without being an… Continue reading Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find

Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine

Clarity of purpose in war is essential.  The enemy must understand and believe you will do whatever it takes to achieve your objective.  How is a war supposed to end when your enemy doesn’t even know what you want in the first place? Last week, President Joe Biden said what most needed saying about the… Continue reading Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine

The media applies the impossible Biden standard of evidence to Israel

Underground tunnels beneath a hospital? Hostages taken through a hospital? Weapons caches inside a hospital? Where have we seen this impossible standard of evidence before?  When no evidence of any kind is ever enough? The big news over the past few days as been the humanitarian pause or cease-fire if you prefer in exchange for… Continue reading The media applies the impossible Biden standard of evidence to Israel

Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

The Secretary of State admitted that Hamas uses their own people as human shields and doesn’t care about their well being, but fails to explain how Israel can minimize civilian casualties when their enemy wants to maximize them, much less how a “humanitarian pause” would do anything except help Hamas itself. “Hamas doesn’t care one… Continue reading Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

Intersectionality leads directly to the hatred we see on college campuses and other progressive enclaves

There seems to be a sense of shock and sadness at the sudden rise in hate, as if this were entirely unexpected, but there shouldn’t be.  This is the logical outcome of dividing the world into the oppressed who can do no wrong and the oppressors who are never right. “The rats need to be… Continue reading Intersectionality leads directly to the hatred we see on college campuses and other progressive enclaves

Israel: Ceasefires, humanitarian pauses, and related absurdities including when President Biden will be asked to condemn his own party

The New York Times effectively calls for Hamas to apologize on national TV, world governmental bodies have no interest in justice and no means to deal with Hamas, the Biden Administration wants to pause the fighting to resupply the enemy, and no one in the mainstream media wants to talk about the antisemitism rampant in… Continue reading Israel: Ceasefires, humanitarian pauses, and related absurdities including when President Biden will be asked to condemn his own party

The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

There is a sense of watching some sad tragicomedy unfold, wondering what unexpected and unanticipated catastrophe will happen next, oblivious to the reality that – as at the start of World War I – we might literally be one bullet away from worldwide destruction.  On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his… Continue reading The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

The media provides material support to terrorists and should be investigated under the Patriot Act

Multiple prominent media organizations including The New York Times knew exactly what they were doing when they broadcast Hamas’ claim that Israeli conducted an airstrike on a hospital. Lawyers have been jailed for passing on the communications of clients convicted of terrorism. The media should face the same standard. On October 17, multiple media organizations… Continue reading The media provides material support to terrorists and should be investigated under the Patriot Act

Israel: Get ready for the progressive backlash to go mainstream

The over/under could be as little as a week, when all our claims of unity with Israel go up in the smoke.  Whatever President Biden may say today, he hasn’t the stomach to oppose key members of his party, his movement, and a global government apparatus that has long ago decided Israel is to blame. … Continue reading Israel: Get ready for the progressive backlash to go mainstream
