Tweet I have to admit that I can’t stomach more than one or two seconds at a time of Rachel Maddow.  She’s such a party hack that, even if one stops pretending that she’s a journalist, she doesn’t come anywhere near being entertaining.  She’s also in touch with her Leftism by being fiercely anti-Israel (an [...]

Tweet One of the really icky things about the Left is that it lacks a moral compass.  There is no good or evil.  There are only evil haves and victimized have-nots. In a sane moral universe, cultural arbiters would readily be able to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys in the Middle East.  [...]

Tweet For the time being, I’m going to keep this floating to the top of my blog. New content will appear below. Be warned that there’s a 5 second load time for this.  Wisely, considering the hacking Israeli websites are experiencing, the Israeli Defense Force site, which hosts this counter, checks browsers before loading content.

Tweet The first casualty of war is truth . . . and truth is never more at risk than in a war against an Islamo-Leftist enemy.  Since the Israeli offensive began, social media and major news and television sites have been overrun with faked images purporting to show Israeli soldiers caught in the act of [...]

Tweet It’s been another family-maintenance day, which precludes not only blogging but, quite often, even thinking.  Having a house full of children is revitalizing and exhausting all at once. I also took my Mom clothes shopping, which makes her extraordinarily happy, but leaves me limp and floppy.  I am every cheapskate’s dream, because I just [...]

Tweet In a sane world, Steve Crowder would have his own TV show, rather than three-minute segments.  Of course, the discipline of a three-minute segment means that every word he says is worthy.  There is no useless, time-consuming filler.  Watch and learn.  (Ah, heck, you guys already know this.  But watch to get talking points [...]

Tweet A friend of mine has a family member who has been called up for duty in Israel.  I know that, all over Israel, young men and young women are being mobilized.  Some sadly, may not come home, although I wish all of them would, just as I wish every one of our troops in [...]

Tweet America’s not the only one with crazed Leftists.  I managed to miss the fact that Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert just accused Sheldon Adelson of using Benjamin Netanyahu as his puppet in this election.  Adelson utterly destroys that canard and, to my delight, he does so in three short paragraphs that are a [...]

Tweet Paul Brandus decided he’d had enough of the innumerable lies about Obama floating through the blogosphere, so he did some research and came up with a post:  “Deconstructing the 5 most ridiculous myths about Barack Obama.“  Unfortunately for him, he forgot the cardinal rule of attacking your enemy:  Know your enemy.  Without that knowledge, [...]

Have Liberals (including religious Liberals) lost their capacity to distinguish between Good and Evil?

Tweet The editor of a Jewish newspaper — let me repeat: a Jewish newspaper — has endorsed a Republican.  Because we’re discussing Jews, it may be wrong to analogize this to pigs flying, but I guess it’s okay as long as we’re not eating those pigs for breakfast. I was at a luncheon today (see [...]

Tweet Sheldon Adelson has said outright what many Jews do (or should) suspect:  Obama doesn’t love Israel as much as he says he does.  In a Jewish Journal post, Adelson does a good job assembling a damning list of facts, all of which indicate that, if Obama didn’t keep saying “Oooh, I love Israel,” most [...]

Tweet I my post yesterday about the truly loving care my mom gets in an old age run under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, I said that I resent the Church’s attitude towards Israel, but that I can’t fault it with regard to its care for the elderly.  With perfect timing, NRO came out [...]

Tweet There are two constituencies on which Democrats can always count:  Jews and blacks.  And Jews, unlike blacks, give lots of money to their favorite party and they get out and vote.  For many Jews, being a Democrat is an integral part of their identity.  Voting for a Republican is anathema.  It turns them into [...]

Tweet [Update:  I thought I'd managed to ooze so much sarcasm here that I didn't need to establish first that I was being sarcastic.  From comments I've received, I've learned that a failed in Writing 101, because I did not make my sarcasm t obvious enough.  My apologies.  I know that Obama dislikes Israel.  He [...]

Tweet The only problem I have with this video is the narrator’s voice.  It grates on me.  Otherwise, I think the video says things that need to be said, and I hope it gets lots of air play: And while we’re on the subject, the Washington Examiner, in its sterling multipart series about the Obama [...]

Tweet Yesterday, I wrote about those rare individuals who can rise above fear in a terrorist state to become part of the solution, rather than a mere victim of the problem.  With perfect timing, a friend sent me an article from the Times of Israel, about Mosab Hasson Yousef, a young man of unusual moral [...]

Tweet God said of the Jews that they are a stiff-necked (or stubborn)  people.  They certainly are when it comes to their allegiance to the Democrat party.  Despite three and a half years of manifest Obama hostility to Israel, the vast majority of American Jews still support him. I can actually understand this attitude when [...]

Tweet We all recall how Michael Moore mercilessly savaged George Bush because, when the first reports about the 9/11 terrorist attacks began, Bush was reading a story book to small children, and chose not to run screaming out of the room.  Fast-forward eleven years and we have a president who boasts that he’s better than [...]

Tweet The situation between Israel and Iran is heating up dramatically.  Yesterday, Iran boasted it has a missile that can reach any Israeli city.  For years, Iran has been loud and clear about it’s intense desire to incinerate Israel.  The IAEA has conceded that Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons.  With all [...]

Tweet Various news outlets are reporting that the U.S. is dramatically scaling back joint exercises with Israel, something Israel perceives to be a sign of distrust and an effort (again) to create distance between itself and America: Seven months ago, Israel and the United States postponed a massive joint military exercise that was originally set [...]

Tweet Since the British mandate, western nations, especially oil-poor European nations, have pandered to Middle Eastern tyrants for a single reason:  oil.  Israel, poor little Israel, had no oil.  That’s why, when the Arabs and Iranians said that they wanted Israel, Europeans were willing to fall in line.  Anything, after all, to get that Saudi [...]

Tweet Israel Matzav found a post in which two Arab-American women explain how horribly Israel treated them, when it questioned them at Ben Gurion and then deported them from Israel.  Interestingly, although the young women complain mightily about their treatment at Israel’s hands, they never do state explicitly that they harbor no ill-will towards that [...]
