Being an American is a wonderful thing. It means inhabiting a vast nation whose habits, inventions, and tastes shape the world. But that creates an illusion that everything in the world is about us. And it’s not. Especially these days when we often resemble a declining power. The battle between Russia and Ukraine is not…

On this week’s episode of shameless virtue signaling, guest stars, including Apple and Microsoft, took out an ad in The Dallas Morning News falsely accusing Texas of discriminating against gay people for investigating the sexual mutilation of children as part of the “transgender” movement. Here’s what Governor Abbott’s letter to the Texas Department of Family and…

The most effective form of censorship is self-censorship. And one of the unique Soviet phenomena of cancel culture is the liberal intellectual essay which bemoans cancel culture censorship and then never gets around to saying what the author is suppressing herself from speaking out about. The latest case in point is a voluminous Atlantic essay…

Chutzpah. Israel is not doing enough to support Ukraine by providing defensive aid, absorbing refugees, and taking a clear stance against Russia, Ukrainian envoy to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk said Friday, accusing Israel of being “afraid” of Moscow. Israel has provided a ton of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. It voted in support of Ukraine at the…

While Biden tries to cut a deal with Iran, the Islamic terror state keeps amping up the terror with repeated attacks on Americans. As I noted back in January, “On January 3rd, two suicide drones were aimed at the State Department’s Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center near the Baghdad International Airport. Two more terror drones targeted American…

I’m not sure that this is what the IRGC had in mind.  When President Trump took out Iran terror leader Qasem Soleimani, we were repeatedly told by Iran’s apologists in this country and by the Ayatollah’s terror state that revenge was coming. Now the revenge is finally here.  A woman is accused of stabbing her online…

However the conflict in Ukraine shakes out, Russia’s military deterrence has suffered a severe blow.  While Americans tend to be surprised by Russia’s military incompetence, Putin just adopted the familiar stage of czars and Communist dictators of trying to win a war by throwing a whole lot of bodies and firepower at it. The track…

 Judge Christopher Cooper isn’t just an Obama judge, he was on the Obama transition team. And he’s still acting like it. Cooper complained that the Durham filings had created a “sideshow” and actually urged the team to correct “misrepresentations”. A federal judge delivered a warning to special counsel John Durham on Thursday after recent court…

The second stage of mainstreaming radical ideas is saying the quiet part out loud. When it comes to Israel, that means beginning to dispense with the pretense that hostility toward the Jewish State has anything to do with the liberation of captured territories during the Six Day War in 1967.  Or, for that matter, that…

There’s a growing legion of horror stories about violent attacks by thugs with extensive criminal records who were let go after they were arrested. Here’s the latest and one of the more disgusting horror stories coming out of the pro-crime hellhole that politicians created in New York City. The sicko who allegedly smashed his own feces in…

Facebook, like other Big Tech monopolies, keeps pretending that it has some sort of objective rules that apply equally and fairly, and then keeps demonstrating that its only rules are political. Here’s the latest absurd double standard with lots of political pandering rolled into the mix. Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some…

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the safe. Biden’s Plan A was to slap some sanctions on Russia in response to the Ukraine invasion, win some points, then finalize the Iran Deal. Instead, the Ukraine war is spiraling and facing serious pressure to talk the talk, Biden was forced to accede to…
