Rosh Hashanah 5784: Prophesies and Prayers

Take this Rosh Hashanah political-security quiz and prognosticate on the future for the Jewish new year. (My predictions are recorded at the bottom of the article.)

Jews Like Me

I authentically played the role of the 'Chutzie' and gently asked him if he did not feel any sympathy for international critics who pointed to the Supreme Court’s partiality and liberal activism?

If Libs Voted Their Values, America Would Be Saved

The second reason is most liberals have chosen to believe that the Democratic Party is still the party of John F. Kennedy. They are fooling themselves

Blaming Pro-Israel Christians for Palestinian Problems

Western colonialists are somehow more evil than others.

Weapons, Weapons Everywhere – Why?

Oslo is the root cause of today’s terrible epidemic of terrorist and crime shootings.

Why Young Americans Are Not Taught About Evil

It is almost certain that the great majority of American high school and college students could not name five of the Ten Commandments (presuming they know what those are) or the names of two Shakespeare plays.

Biden’s Terror Funding Just Killed an Israeli Preschool Teacher

Terror deaths fell every year under Trump and rose every year under Biden.

Vets Wait for Care, While VA Spends Millions on Transgenderism

There’s money for transgender hormones, not cancer treatments.

INTO THE FRAY: A Sense of Betrayal 

Past deeds of heroism are no justification for present acts of subversion

Is it Racist to Prioritize Freedom from Terror?

The U.S. State Department condemned recent comments by Itamar Ben-Gvir. But the real problem is not what the controversial cabinet member said; it’s support for a Palestinian right to terror.

In California This Weekend, We Saw, Again, How Easy It Is To Panic Americans

The last time I saw so few cars on a Los Angeles freeway was in the first weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Apparently, many people were just as spooked as they were in 2020.

Want to Support Israeli Democracy? Then RESPECT Democratic Elections

The authors of a disingenuous appeal to Diaspora Jews to intervene in the Jewish state’s divisive culture war are oblivious to the damage they are doing.

State Dept. Doesn’t Think 9/11 Merits a Mention on International Day of Remembrance for...

It’s as if terrorism were someone else’s problem with no relationship to anything that happened to America.

Protect Kids

All that was over forty years ago in 1980. We were unaware that protecting our children then was an infinitely simpler task than it would be when they occupied the same roll for their four children in 2023.

Why Are More Americans Than Ever Committing Suicide?

Aside from food, the greatest human need is for meaning

The Problem isn’t Bradley Cooper’s Nose

Even normally serious people are looking for antisemitism in the wrong places. Misplaced anger about a movie undermines the fight against genuine Jew-hatred.

Illegal Migrants Getting Immigration Court Dates in 2032

“The migrants can receive a work permit and legally live and work until their case comes up”

Do Obama’s Obsessions Explain Biden’s Iran Appeasement?

Ransom payments of $6 billion will fund more Iranian terror. But the real question is why America is still pursuing Iran. The former president may be part of the answer.

Into the Fray: D-Y-S-T-O-P-I-A!! 

The opponents of the proposed judicial reform are not defending liberal democracy, but promoting Orwellian dystopia 

Give Saudi Peace a Chance

Chances for a deal are high, the risks manageable, and the value overwhelming. The doubters and naysayers, as well as those who actively are trying to sabotage such an agreement, are wrong.

Did Israel Sacrifice Security for Visa Waivers?

U.S. pressure led Jerusalem to give up singling out Arabs with U.S. citizenship for special scrutiny. Does the debate about “ethnic profiling” ignore threats?

That is how I feel. I know my chronological age, but nothing has changed in me that makes me believe it. So, then, while how I feel and my energy levels are a blessing, like many blessings, they come at a price: massive cognitive dissonance.

Pew Research: Democrats Value Free Speech Far Less than Republicans

America has been the freest country in the world for all of its history. That is why the French gave America the Statue of Liberty. It is rapidly relinquishing that title.

The battle over Israeli judicial reform can’t be settled by faux piety about unity that doesn’t answer the question about who are the real modern-day Zealots.
