Remember history so it’s not repeated

Black and white image of a hand holding a Star of David pendant.

In September 2005, less than a month after Israel, in a painful action of good will toward peace, evicted the last settler from Gaza. The darlings of the international peace movement, the Palestinians, used Gaza as a launching pad for a missile attack on Israeli towns.  This is no less than what any common sense observer could have predicted because Hamas,…

Stupidocrisy: The delusional two-state solution

Barbed wire fence with Israeli and Palestinian flags.

In August 2005, nearly two decades ago, I wrote that “The unilateral retreat from Gaza by Israel has revealed much about the peace process.  It shows the true heart of many.  Over the weekend, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed a decree giving to the Palestinians the land in Gaza vacated by the Israelis.  Almost immediately, Hamas, the terrorist group, and soon to be a major successful political party…

The stones of hate crying out

People holding signs at a protest.

How can institutions of higher learning, across America be subjected to and tolerant of the demonstrations supporting Palestinian terrorism against Jews? This hatred is spreading across the country under the false notion and mindset of human rights violations by the so-called “Jewish occupation.” It is the irrational moral equivalency of “Palestinian” terrorism justified by “Jewish”…

Stupidocrisy: It can happen to you, too

A gavel and a book with the words "show trial".

Call it what you will—communism, socialism, fascism, democratic socialism, liberal democrat, whatever—these are all different shades of tyranny, cousins of the same family. And there is no evidence greater that it is alive and well in America than these so-call “trials” conjured up the Democratic Party against former president Donald Trump. A hallmark of communism,…

A photo of a page of the Book of Ezekiel.

It appears that Turkey and the United States had a hand in approving Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel. In the week leading up to the attack, diplomatic backchannels were used to green light the Iranian operation that included US Secretary of State Antony Blinkin, Turkish Foreign Minister Haka Fidan and Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian.…

The image is the header of the OPM website.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has taken steps to solidify the deep state (administrative state) by publishing a final rule that protects government employees from losing their jobs in the event of administration changes after a presidential election.
