Anti-Judaism…anti-Semitic…they are distinctions without a difference, and taking seriously the academic parsing leads inexorably to arguments like, “I’m not an anti-Semite, I am an anti-Zionist!” Just take a look at the UN, which is second to none in its Jew-hate! In 2017, 21 of 27 UNGA condemnatory country-specific resolutions (or 78%) exclusively targeted Israel. There…

I was in the car a couple of days ago and happened to catch a few minutes of Sean Hannity (YOU ARE A GREAT AMERICAN!) interviewing Newt Gingrich. Well, not really interviewing as much as giving him a tongue bath; it was pretty embarrassing. But Gingrich said something that was intended to be profound and…

Our culture has descended so far into madness that we need laws to protect minors from life-changing mutilation at the hands of their parents and physicians. The “Trans Movement” is the left’s tip of the spear in its attacks on Western culture and traditional American society, and it will surprise no one but disgust all…

Let us be honest: the world would be a less interesting place without blithering idiots like AOC on the political stage. We often joke about increasing the minimum wage to some ridiculous amount, but as is becoming more and more common in post-Trump America, truth is stranger than fiction. AOC: $15 Minimum Wage a ‘Deep,…

The relationship between an increase in the minimum wage and a decrease in entry-level jobs has been studied and studied and studied, and guess what? It exists. It’s real, and the economic literature is clear. It’s even pretty obvious to most sentient beings! Increase the cost of one of the inputs of any business, and…

When Jeff Sessions, the amiable coward, recused himself from the Special Counsel Investigation did anyone expect anything other than a hyper-partisan hack job? Robert Mueller was a political hatchet man, completely untethered to the rule of law, so a thundering condemnation of President Trump and a recommendation that charges be filed against him seemed to…

It’s an appealing idea; one that combines a thumb in the eye of the Democrat machine that is desperate to deplatform (and probably imprison) President Trump with a ready-made bully pulpit for a man who is a master at using one. Trump for Congress, 2022 Trump for Congress 2022! Donald Trump declares his candidacy, asks…

This is delightful on one level; any time the Democrats go after one of their own it is time for some popcorn and maybe even a pudding cup. But the reality is that this is just political theater. Sure, the New York State legislature is going to try to claw back some of the power…

Trust is a powerful thing, but once lost is difficult to regain. The problem is that for many on the normal side of the political/social bell curve, trust is reflexive, because we ascribe our own views on appropriate conduct to those on the other end of that curve. Even one of our more successful politicians,…

The social compact demands a certain minimum level of courtesy and mutual respect, something that the media have not adhered to for a very long time. Unfortunately the dinosaurs of the Republican party continue to accept the abuse and lies of the media while pretending that all involved are playing by the antiquated rules of…
