[October 23, 2023] A few days ago, media personality Megyn Kelly interviewed Dave Marcus and Noah Pollak, journalists and political commentators, to discuss the hatred of Jews on American college campuses. I like the interview for several reasons that will become more apparent below. I recommend listening to this and other interviews on the moral stance of America. … Read More »
[October 16, 2023] In any war, there is always a parallel information war. This has been true since the beginning of time. Given our reliance on advanced technology, we can get information quickly. The question is how accurate is that information. In Israel’s war with Hamas, it is overwhelmingly clear that what we see coming from Hamas is… Read More »
[October 17, 2023] When faced with an invader that propagates the atrocities we have seen in the recent Hamas incursion into Israel, the only solution is to utterly destroy their culture. That means a massive and overwhelming force that exacts a brutal retribution upon them until they surrender unconditionally. Ultimately, that means destroying the Palestinian culture of terrorism.… Read More »
[October 14, 2023] I’ve had doubts about NYC Mayor Eric Adams, particularly his pandering to special interest groups and missed opportunities. But, I missed his Sunday, October 10th rally, where he made it clear that New York stands with Israel. His remarks were made the day after the Hamas terror attacks on Israel. He says that he not… Read More »
[October 10, 2023] My friends often ask me this question. Is the U.S. State Department Run by idiots? They know I worked with (but not for) the State Dept. in 2009 & 10. I got a good understanding of how they operate internally. Here is how I answer their questions. “Idiots do NOT run the U.S. State Department.” … Read More »
[October 8, 2023] John Hinderaker from PowerLineBlog makes an excellent point: this is not Israel’s 9/11 but their Pearl Harbor. The distinction is well-argued and vital. Getting the analogy right early in this war helps us set our perspective properly. This attack is no mere act of Hamas terrorism but is an act of war carried out by… Read More »
[October 7, 2023] Americans were waking up this morning to the news that Hamas has launched attacks inside Israel from the Gaza Strip. From all indications, this is a significant effort by Hamas to inflict maximum casualties on Israel. Some are comparing this to America’s 9/11. Typically, I do not do early commentary on major developing events, but… Read More »
[June 15, 2021] I’ve written articles every day for almost eight years and enjoyed every moment of doing so. But with a pile of grandkids coming to my home for a week, I’m signing off for a few of those days. I’ll be back with an attitude to drive home the point that leadership is sorely needed in… Read More »
[June 9, 2021] On several occasions, I noted a tendency for Western media toward an anti-democratic bias (see links here, here, and here). Whether it is honoring dead Islamic terrorists or advocating for looting, rioting, and murder, many news organizations have failed at their most basic task – providing impartial information to the public. A recent example of… Read More »
[May 26, 2021] During the Vietnam War, a strategy and set of programs developed to win the popular support of the Vietnamese people and help defeat the Viet Cong insurgency. The phrase became popular and applied to events, not in the warzone. The appeal to the “hearts” of the populace was not a new method in Vietnam, but… Read More »
