What is Iran hoping to accomplish with the attack on Saudi oil facilities? And what should be the response? The “mad mullahs” of Iran are the single most destabilizing influence in the Middle East and Iran is the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. But while the mad mullahs have, since

This Bookworm Beat shows that, on Halloween, there’s nothing scarier than Leftist politics and the consequent racist, anti-American shenanigans. For Halloween we now have two racially approved costumes. If you’re still struggling to think of a costume for yourself or your child, I am happy to report that the Black

This Bookworm Beat is about more than the slo-mo Honduran invasion, but that figures largely here, hence the post’s title. A round-up of ideas and information about the Honduran invasion. When thousands of military age men threaten to storm your border, there’s only one proper description: “an invasion.” All that

I wake up happy every day in Trump’s America because I’m convinced that I’m watching a wonderful documentary in which America and Americans are thriving. One of the points Scott Adams makes repeatedly is that reality is an essentially fluid concept. In order to make sense of the world, we

I predicted 8 years ago that Obama’s Iran outreach would throw Israel and Saudi Arabia closer together, an alliance that has significant benefits for both. Although I haven’t written about Saudi Arabia, I have been paying a great deal of attention to what’s going on in that kingdom. If Prince

Saudi Arabia respects Donald Trump because he promises to partner with it against Islamic extremism, without trying to change the Sunni Arab nations. From the first moment Trump’s plane landed in Saudi Arabia, things were different: Ignore those who try to say that, once off the tarmac, Trump finally did

I’m posting here a sampling of the images included in the posts. As you scroll
