As Israel becomes fully integrated into the economies of the Arab world via trade agreements, commercial flight permission, and a host of non-cultural but powerful connections, the importance of the “Palestinian Question” shrinks. At this point, the economic and technological advantages of a relationship with Israel, as cold as it may be, dwarfs the social…

If you want to know what America with super-majorities of Democrats in power will look like, then California is the place to be! Although to be fair, those Democrats are led around by their noses by the real power in California…the woke corporations of Silicon Valley and the equally woke movie industry. Both are filled…

Or not, but it is an interesting idea, and one that I just stole from Dennis Prager. President Trump is their worst nightmare of an Alpha Male; he gets the hot chicks, he has lots of money, he is physically imposing, and worst of all, he doesn’t run away from a fight the way they…

Synergy: The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. New York is in the unenviable position of having to deal with the perfect storm of not one awful politician, but two! Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio have…

A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. — Gerald R. Ford If the current destruction of our civil liberties and the rule of law isn’t a perfect example of the evils of big government, I can’t think of a better…

The Democrat party constantly accuses Republicans of being racist, jingoistic haters; driving America back to nativist sensibilities. Apparently the secret goal of everyone in America to the right of Alexandra Donkey-Chompers is some agrarian idyll in which everyone is lily White, Protestant, hunts wetbacks for sport, and hates everyone even slightly different. And yet…the vitriol…

“Cafe Hayek” is a reliably consistent website that faithfully carries on the legacy of Friedrich Hayek, a vociferous defender of free markets and classical liberalism. He has always impressed me because he moved from socialism to free markets, just as Thomas Sowell did, as he learned more about the world. That says something about the…

I can rant and rave all day and all night about the many systemic problems we have with law enforcement in America. Too militarized; too isolated from the the people they are supposed “to protect and serve;” far too willing to protect their authority over absolutely harmless people…up to the point of shooting them; part…

Populism is now a dirty word; revisionist history has taken care of that quite well. And Orwell would be smiling and saying, “I told you so!” A cursory internet search will link populism with the “Know Nothings,” Father Coughlin, George Wallace, Huey Long, and other charming examples of American politicians who used appeals to the…
