I don’t fault any Zionist or ally of Israel for having embraced the two-state solution, as I did for many years. No other peace plan could reconcile self-interest and lofty principles so seamlessly. No other plan could offer a better way to transcend the contradictions that reality imposed on Israelis, by making a Zionist argument, […]

Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal created the largest agricultural collective in the US as an experiment to test socialist theories about both farming and human nature. Collectives have a long history in the US and elsewhere, and they all failed. In the Soviet model, this failure was admitted, and thus the collectivization required force, terror, and starvation to “convince” people to operate properly in the collective environment. But even with massive brutal force and the full weight of the state, in the end, they could not make the idea work. Most food production came from a small amount of privately owned plots that represented about 3% of the land under cultivation.

Vladimir Putin said Russia’s war with Ukraine could be “over within a few weeks” if the United States stopped supplying weapons. Until that happens, however, the Russian leader vowed to continue fighting, bluntly telling Tucker Carlson, “We haven’t achieved our aims yet.” The war, which began in 2014 and escalated with Russia’s invasion in 2022, […]

Accommodating overseas elites by tolerating antisemitism on U.S. campuses is part of a scheme to turn loss-leader DEI categories into profit centers Five weeks after Rutgers University suspended the New Brunswick campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on Dec. 11 for violating several university policies, the school reversed its decision and reinstated […]
The FBI is reducing hiring standards to the point where it is considering overweight applicants and hiring barely literate agents, a group of current and former FBI agents and analysts allege.

CNN political commentators S.E. Cupp and John Avlon sparred Monday over the border crisis, with Cupp alleging Democrats bear a good brunt of the blame. The Senate released the long-awaited text of a border package in exchange for Ukraine aid. The bill would appropriate $48 billion to Ukraine, and nearly $16 billion to Israel and fund border […]

The fatuous thinking behind critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The recent Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament showed that CRT and DEI are not passing fads.

Once upon a time, constitutional interpretation actually involved interpreting the text of the Constitution. It’s not a blank slate. Its words have actual meanings. While the federal 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recognizes that the Constitution contains words, the judges on that court seem to think they can ascribe any meaning—no matter how outlandish—to those […]

It’s bad enough that the abortion lobby is fully committed to its disturbing agenda to enshrine abortion up until birth in the Arizona Constitution. But now, it appears, that the overwhelming majority of the funding to get this measure on our ballot in November isn’t even coming from within our state. I recently examined the […]

I’m a Utopian Pacifist.
