Was the entire state of California dropped on its collective head in the late 1990s? They went from George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson (two solid governors) to Gray Davis! And then it got worse! Is there a more dysfunctional state and a more dysfunctional voting base than California? Yes…yes, Illinois and New Jersey are in…

An “illegal immigrant” is not an immigrant. He is a criminal, and should be treated as a lawbreaker and dealt with by the criminal justice system. The conflation of immigration into America, which used to be of tremendous benefit to us as a nation, with criminals crashing the open border as part of the deeply…

Fiscal Responsibility is a quaint phrase that is bandied about by mendacious politicians to get votes from Low Information Voters who like the way it sounds. But it is nonexistent in the corridors of power, and there will be a reckoning eventually. At some point the debt service of the federal government is going to…

What a shock! Russia is slowly grinding up Ukraine’s resources and army, which should surprise exactly nobody with two neurons to rub together. This isn’t an unexpected twist either.

There is an arrogance among many titans of industry that is grating. Just because someone is a fantastic bank CEO or wonderful at running an airline does not mean that those skills and qualities extend into politics or, for that matter, absolutely anything else! Far too often when these people speak about other topics they…

Short answer…There are no realistic paths to peace. A series of very difficult decisions lies ahead for Israel. Any rational understanding of the Arab/Muslim world yields a basic truth; they respect and fear power, and they have contempt for weakness and vacillation. The events of the last 30 years since the Oslo Accords has been…

The default stance among the majority of the Biden/Harris/Obama administration is unbridled Israel hate, with a soupçon of Jew-hate for good measure.
