On Memorial Day 2018, President Trump honors the dead by celebrating what they fought for — and by making future fights less likely. Words — or at least my words — are inadequate to the task of fully honoring those who gave their lives to defend American freedoms. President Trump,

After shamefully neglecting my facebook, I checked in today and got a letter from a friend, asking why non-Jewish Americans should still support Israel when both American and Israeli Jews have so consistently made bad choices in support of that nation. It’s a good question,
