Happy 250th, America! What a gangbuster quarter-millennium of a resume you have assembled. Much to be proud of, and, yet . . . far too few Americans are lining up to blow out the candles.
Love him or hate him (an opinion that includes everyone, since no one is neutral on the man), it must be said of Donald Trump that when compared to prior occupants of the Oval Office, he is no candy ass. His threats are not idle. When staying the reckless course, he never appears to be scanning for an off-ramp.
Donald Trump has always been a man of gluttonous taste. After surviving a litany of federal and state prosecutions and a slew of civil actions in his four-year hiatus from the White House, he proved to be a glutton for punishment, too. And yet, he always presented himself as a man not to be trifled with.
Someone should really have a serious conversation with the chieftains of the Democratic Party. It’s high time for a pulse check—a true heart-to-heart.
There was a time, long ago. Back in the drug-addled days of Woodstock. Tie-dyed shirts were formal wear. Hair was both a Broadway musical and a countercultural trademark. During those days, the progressive left—known colloquially at the time as Hippies—knew their proper place, rarely overstepping.
As an unreconstructed Islamist and Hamas apologist, New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is no stranger to violence. You may not see him vandalize a synagogue, scuffle with the police, or fire a gun and kill a Jew (Zionist or non-Zionist, it matters not). But that doesn’t mean he isn’t silently cheering on the mass of Jew-haters who do.
The Holocaust has come full circle. Given its common meaning—the mass murder of six million Jews—that’s not something to celebrate. It’s always best to put as much distance as possible between an atrocity and more normalized surroundings. New generations should view the Holocaust as ancient history, and not as a current event.
Antisemitism is everywhere nowadays—on college campuses and inside city halls; on podcasts and red carpets; spoken by celebrities and spewed by masked thugs. No matter where one looks, “Nakbas” are concocted and “genocides” are falsified.
Sorry to go all-out Dickensian this week, but for global Jewry, it surely is both “the best of times” and “the worst of times.” Not a tale of two cities, but a story of two realities—one sanguine; the other ominous.
So much keeps happening around the world daily—and the brainwashing spin cycle of social media is so distracting—it’s difficult to glean the significance of certain events, especially when they converge.
If you’re worried about the fate of global Jewry, well . . . it’s not getting any better. Actually, it’s getting worse. The tipping point has been surpassed with no finish line in sight.
Anti-American animus and domestic self-hatred are all the rage nowadays—not just from foreign nations and homefront progressives, but it now seems from the Pontiff of Rome, too.
Now that ceasefire negotiations with Iran have predictably broken down before they ever got started, we can finally get back to the destruction of Iran’s “civilization” that Donald Trump promised with all the subtlety and panache of a drunken sailor.
As if Israel didn’t already engender enough reasons for an antisemitic world to despise the Jewish state, its parliament, the Knesset, came up with another one last week—a real doozy.
With Passover days away, it should be remembered that California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, unlike Ramses, the Pharoah of ancient Egypt, actually let his people go—without putting up a fight.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that when it comes to geopolitical bellicosity, there is no word for “Uncle” in Arabic or Farsi.
The baby steps we have been taking toward the Islamization of the West is hitting full stride. And if you’re Jewish and living almost anywhere, you should be feeling run over by now.
An Islamist regime that terrorized the world and brutalized its own people is on its last legs—with those legs now nearly dismembered. Clerics purporting to be men of God, but who were actually cold killers, Jew-haters and enablers of child rape, are now, thankfully, dead.
“No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight,” boasted President Donald Trump, speaking to the people of Iran shortly after unleashing a joint attack that may have finally ended the theocratic nightmare that has been their miserable fate since 1979.
It’s been a rough few weeks for the spoken word. Many reminders of things better left unsaid. Cringeworthy statements uttered without rebuttal. What passes for public debate nowadays is coarsened, debased and filled with falsehoods.
