Talk’s cheap. Lifestyles aren’t. There is a story in an 800-year-old book by a well-known Jewish, philosopher rabbi. In it, he tells of a man who...
The non-American NATO contingent has proven itself a bunch of losers. With friends like these, who needs enemies? NATO played an important role in...
Why do they hate the Jewish state so much? Candace Owens has come out to write that there will never be peace in the world as long as Israel exists....
There is a ceasefire. And then…? I regret that I was less aware of the late Charlie Kirk during his lifetime. He was extremely bright and, unlike...
People think that things are impossible. Upstairs, there is no such word. One of my favorite stories from the Talmud involves an old man planting date...
The old way worked better. I am a big fan of the late General Curtis LeMay. I have mentioned him and his colorful ways in many of my articles. The...
The last few days have shown the greatness of the United States. We take it for granted that all cultures are more or less the same. But nothing could...
Europe is lost as a Christian continent, and its demise is self-inflicted. It is no coincidence that European countries are refusing to aid the US in...
Not every miracle involves falling out of a thirty-story building and walking away without a scratch. Not everyone knows that Winston Churchill won...
Passover is the quintessential Jewish holiday. Israel is actively fighting in Lebanon and aggressively bombing Iran. On the home front, we receive...
The US, in making massive technical progress, has lost much of what made it unique and successful. I hate to repeat analogies, but sometimes there is...
Both the Left and Weirdo Right are into Islam. Why? Like many of my Jewish friends, we belonged to a conservative synagogue. It was a compromise for...
Especially if that day happened to be January 20, 2025. I know plenty of people who do not like Donald Trump. They usually throw out words like...
The Iran War has reaffirmed Israel’s unique approach to life. When I came to Israel on a Fulbright post-doctoral fellowship, I really had no plans....
The writing is on the wall for British Jews: we hate you. On Sunday night, four “United Hatzalah” ambulances were torched in the London...
Donald Trump and his military brass understand that victory is measured in outcomes and not sideline statistics. Until recently, it was accepted...
The Gulf states. They gave their “final warning” but are still too terrified of Iran to actually attack their big neighbor. Iran from the get-go...
After three weeks, how is the war going? Did you ever go to a ballgame, only to make a trip to the bathroom while the most important action of the...
The Weirdo Right thinks that they can have MAGA lite. The Fugu or pufferfish is a delicacy in Japan. The challenge in preparing it is in removing the...
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a big piece of an Iranian ballistic missile. Every war comes with some new challenges. In the last round...
The U.S. is an amazing superpower, one that most Americans simply take for granted. When Stalin closed the land and rail approaches to Berlin, he...
When we play by different rules, victory is much harder to achieve. Imagine a wide receiver intentionally stepping out of bounds, running behind his...
Finish and win wars, then deal with the civilians. There was a skit on Saturday Night Live a long time ago when it was still funny. A couple of...
And it really is an act in light of all of the excuses why the Senate can’t pass a bill that everyone wants. Most of us tend to procrastinate or get...
One big factor—the biggest factor—is often forgotten. I see from comments that many, if not most, of Townhall readers are familiar with the Old...
What is the U.S. long plan? Douglas MacArthur has been described as an American Caesar. He was given Japan to rehabilitate, and the success of modern...
Democrats from Carter to Biden aided and abetted the rise and growth of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It was reported that FDR once said about a...
Tucker Carlson attacks the moral goodness of the U.S. armed forces. A while back, I heard the story of a British officer who led his men into Germany....
Everyone is getting in on the Iran bombing campaign. Twelve O’clock High was a movie that was later spun into a TV series. The producers had...
After 81 years, a U.S. hunter-killer sub torpedoes an enemy surface combatant. The fact that the United States Navy went 81 years without firing a...
I don’t know if I have an answer to that question. Oftentimes, we do not appreciate until later—much later—how good we had it. If someone like...
The missile barrages now have their own pattern and protocol, though the number of alerts has been going down daily. On Sunday, an Iranian missile hit...
Our former heroes on the Right have made up their mind: they hate Israel more than they love the United States. Imagine going to a restaurant and...
People lie or obfuscate when they don’t have a good argument. I am humbly and thankfully not perfect. The summer before my first year of high...
We live in an age where we no longer share the same reality. I thought that the war would start sometime after 10 PM on Friday. That would correspond...
Back in the day, we had family friends who told us an interesting story. They were on a direct Chicago-Düsseldorf Lufthansa flight. As they were...
