The new face of Fascism is the same old face
Recently, there has been a disturbing rise in open hostility against Jews and the state of Israel. In Paris, a performance by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra was fire-bombed by anti-Israel protesters in an open attack on art and identity. In Birmingham, UK, the build-up to the soccer match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv…
Read MoreFrom Machpelah to the New Jerusalem
“Hayyei Sarah,” (Genesis 23:1-25:18), “The Life of Sarah,” begins with a striking contrast by opening with her death at 127 years old. From that moment, three important narratives unfold. First, Abraham secures a burial place for Sarah in the cave of Machpelah, making it the first piece of the Promised Land actually owned by the…
Read MoreA Day in the Hills
October in Ohio is as unpredictable as a coin toss. One minute it’s a postcard scene, the next it’s a soggy tent flap. So when our midweek meetup with family in Hocking Hills delivered one perfect, dry day, we made the most of it. Chris and Service Dog Charlie headed out first, taking a steady…
Read MoreThe Civilization Jihad Alive and Well
In recent years, the presence of Muslim-Americans in federal office has quietly grown. There are currently four Muslim members of Congress, all Democrats, all extreme and radical—Ilhan Omar (MN), Rashida Tlaib (MI), André Carson (IN), and Lateefah Simon (CA). While this seems like a small number, it marks a significant shift in representation for a…
Read MoreStupidocrisy: The NYC Mandate
New York just elected a mayor who says, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve.” In his victory speech he promised “the most ambitious agenda to tackle the cost of living crisis,” including to “freeze the rents… make buses fast and free, and deliver universal childcare.” He vowed…
Read MoreAmerica’s spiritual crisis
In the recent elections across New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, Democrats won with authority. New York City saw record turnout, the highest since the late 1960s, and voters chose a self-described socialist as mayor. In Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats captured large margins across the board, buoyed by strong youth turnout and shifting…
Read MorePrayers of faith echo through eternity
This week’s reading in Genesis 18:1-22:24, Vayera (“And He Appeared”), overflows with revelation and testing. The Lord appears to Abraham at the Oaks of Mamre, where three visitors announce that Sarah will bear a son. Soon after, Abraham learns that Sodom and Gomorrah will face judgment, prompting his bold intercession. Lot and his family barely escape, though…
Read MoreThe American Chronicles: Autumn Trails at Hocking Hills
The road into Hocking Hills curled through gold and crimson trees, the kind of drive that makes you forget about time and start believing your GPS is just along for the ride. Chris and I were pumped for a few days away with her family—and Service Dog Charlie was practically doing laps in the RV.…
Read MoreWhen leaders reward lawlessness
Here’s the hard truth: laws don’t create consequences, choices do. When leaders downplay enforcement or reward defiance, they invite more of it. That’s what we’ve seen with sanctuary policies that bar local help to federal immigration agents, progressive prosecutors who decline whole categories of offenses, and “defund” rhetoric that signals police are the problem, not…
Read MoreDaily Jot Special Report—Prophetic impact of the 2025 Election
New York City voters chose Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist and the city’s first Muslim mayor. NYC is the nation’s most populous city, scarred by the 9/11 Islamic terror attack, and now led by a politician whose record on Israel and Hamas is more than alarming. In the campaign’s closing weeks, Mamdani refused to…
