Because of my background as a weekly journalist, a committed Jew, and a former member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, I have been asked many times recently “Are you surprised by the level of anti-Semitism that occurred after October 7th”? My answer is NO. My question is why anyone is surprised by the large […]

Anyone who has a naive belief in the power of higher education to instill morality has not studied the history of German universities in the Third Reich. In 1927 the French philosopher Julien Benda published La trahison des clercs—“The Treason of the Intellectuals”—which condemned the descent of European intellectuals into extreme nationalism and racism. By that […]

The terror state and its various proxy militias—including Hamas—are obviously acting in concert. Why won’t the U.S. admit it? The Biden administration came into office with the pledge to take the U.S. off a “war footing” with Iran, which the incoming team said had characterized the term of its predecessor. “De-escalation,” as the administration called […]
Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine and Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico are taking a new approach to gun regulation with a recently introduced bill. The senators positioned their Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act, which was introduced in late November and would “regulate the sale, transfer, and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic weapons,” as […]

The Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry is one of the many organizations that signed a letter to the Biden administration asking them not to raise the standards for particulate matter. The letter includes signatures from leaders all over the country, including many manufacturing, mining, and oil and gas associations, asking them not to implement […]
When someone resorts to name-calling, it’s usually because they know they’re fighting a losing battle. They childishly attack their opponent, rather than trying to argue with clear facts. But to witness – and be the target of – such low-level mudslinging in Congress, the beating heart of American democracy, was especially shocking.

We like to call this the “peculiar math of corrections” because at first, it does not make sense. Suppose you buy a stock and it falls by 50%. If the stock comes back 50%, you will break even, right? No, if an investment falls 50%, it must come back 100%. Could that happen? Well, yes […]

The world is witnessing a major and unexpected political phenomenon. The press likes to call it the rise of “right-wing” or “populist” parties. From Argentina to Italy, to New Zealand to Holland, politicians who are not part of the mainstream of “establishment” political thought are rising to power. The term “right-wing” means one thing in […]

It is interesting to think about what future generations will look back on and think, “How barbaric and backward. Did those people really believe _______?” From our current vantage point, for example, we look back on religion that way. For thousands of years, church and state were symbiotically linked, but many now see the separation […]

In the calculus of blame, whites are the new Jews. Racebaiting superstar Ibram X. Kendi remarked on a panel recently that white people—globally—have failed to “reckon with how much their own personal identity is shaped by constructions of whiteness.” He went on to explain how “that construction of whiteness prevents white people from connecting to humanity.” […]
