Redeeming The FBI By Forcing Them Out Of Their Intellectual Prison

Christopher Wray, head of the FBI, is trying to make life difficult for the incoming Kash Patel, even though he is leaving. By promoting loyalists, he is pushing them into decision-making positions so that reforms can be stymied. Wray is apparently d...

The Same Principles That Allow Our Cells To Survive Also Allow Societies To Thrive

Reasoning by analogy is a tricky business, but its accuracy is always worth exploring. Considering fractals: ‘Similarity at different scales’ is the principle underlying fractal presence in all complex systems. We can apply that theory to...

The human inclination toward inertia guides Western nation’s anti-Israel policies

Humanity’s constant and, by the laws of physics, the unavoidable inclination is to minimize energy use. We naturally take the shortest route between two points. Just like a rock flying through space moves along a straight line, our bodies and m...

Israel’s success is the inevitable result of ancient choices

Why is Israel so hated? It’s because she’s successful. That’s why so many consider Israel abhorrent, for she threatens Chinese, Iranian, Islamofascist, Biden administration, UN, EU, WEF, and generic leftist dreams of hegemony. None ...

Our Israel Policy Is Governed By The Bureaucrats’ Approach To Work

Israel is receiving patently inconsistent treatment from the Biden administration. There’s a reason for the chasm between Biden’s promises and the government’s conduct, and it’s not just Biden’s effort to placate the Ame...

When It Comes To The Powers Arrayed Against Israel, There’s A Simple Solution

Despite regularly watching Caroline Glick, I don’t like doing so. That’s because her relentlessly realistic understanding of Israel’s position in the world tears me apart. A recent interview with Mike Benz, director of the Foundatio...

Israel's iron sheep

In Israel, a land that prays for peace even as it’s forced into war, the concept of Iron Sheep—peaceable, productive creatives made strong through their collective history, culture, and efforts—has become an important part of Israel...

Israel’s Focus On Happy Families Means It Is The Least Bleak Country In The World

Israel stands out among the nations like a sore thumb because of its willingness to fight for its right to exist. By doing so, it is a threat to the world order. The Western world is dedicated to humanity’s destruction, believing that global po...

The reality behind allegations of the so-called ‘Jewish dual loyalty problem’

Over multiple generations and in many places, Jews have been charged with having “dual loyalties”; that is, they allegedly show no allegiance to the countries that so graciously took them in. What underlies this is the idea that insistenc...

If Donald Trump wins, there are lots of avenues open for Democrats

Democrats currently are stuck with Biden, who might actually win given the motivation of the addled 18-24-year-old voters. But what if enough people agree that Biden is incompetent, and they prefer Trump’s policies and history of success? Well,...

What Purpose does Hamas Serve?

Money is fuel. It makes things happen, no different than natural gas, diesel, coal, or nuclear materials. A perfect example of this truism is the Gaza Strip, where Hamas built its evil empire on the surprisingly generous contributions of the United S...

The ‘two-state solution’ denies the reality of Muslim culture

“From the River to The Sea…” Hamas promises the land will be free of Jews. Of course, that is not really what Hamas means. Their publicly stated goal is to rid the world of all the Jews except the doctors and scientists who will be...

The Odious Reasons Behind The World’s Obsession With Gaza And The West Bank

International aid to Gaza is the only process that ensures its survival. This rather strange situation has no equivalent in any other place in the world except for the scientists living in Antarctica. Gazans are the most welfare-dependent population ...

Changing Gaza by keeping Western money out of the antisemites’ hands

Perhaps there are new approaches to the belligerent Gaza population that need consideration. I assume Israel will win the war and that the Biden administration, the EU, and the United Nations, will immediately want to flood the region with money to r...

Money For Nothing: The Radical Growth of the Gazan Population

To understand Gaza, you must understand what a welfare state on steroids looks like. This is a state that produces nothing, living only on the largesse of others. To hide this destructive parasitism, it has not only actual “workers” but a...

Israel Needs to Be Larger, Not Smaller

Anyone holding the idea that Israel needs to accept a two-state solution to survive has not thought through the problem. Or perhaps they have indeed thought through the problem and have decided that a two-state solution is a step along the way to dis...

Sexual chaos in the Arab world drives some of its grotesque violence

During the attack on Israel, a member of Hamas grabs a Jewish girl. He lies down on top of her, comes to orgasm, stands up, and shoots her. What kind of sadistic twists were already present in his head that allowed the softness of sexual relations to...

In the Middle East, submission is a big question.

To submit means to surrender. To surrender to an enemy means to give up your goals, beliefs, traditions, hopes for the future, dreams for your children and grandchildren, and your personal freedom. It means to become shamefaced, to accept perhaps a l...

Why are Arabs so filled with rage?

The Squad in Congress, the president of Columbia (country), a minority of students at Harvard, Black Lives Matter, Code Pink, the Socialists of America, and other sundry anti-Semites have started criticizing Israel for its wartime measures against Ha...

A 2018 Israeli music video shows the people at the heart of the fight

At the end of this post, you’ll find a video from December 11, 2018—that is, not quite five years ago. Many of the people seen in the video are from Sde’rﾅ衡, the town near Gaza that, as I write this, is still fighting against the in...

Our institutions are encouraging Americans not to have children

A recent Pew Research Center survey found only a third of their wide-ranging sample would categorize marriage and children as at least somewhat important to their feelings of personal fulfillment. Of course, any Pew survey is a product of its times. ...

Believing in a positive future for mankind

When It Comes To The Energy Needed For The Modern World, Thor Will Save Us!

Leftists know why most people must die prematurely

People are not evil for the sake of being evil.  Every person, no matter how destructive, wants to believe he is doing the right thing.  Nazis, both those tried for war crimes and those who escaped punishment, all justified their ...

We can beat those who weaponize artificial intelligence

No one predicts the future well, even when the prognosticators also hold political power. Clearly, it is the hope of those in charge, whether in government or in corporations, that they will profit from the advances of Artificial Intelligence. That w...

Footage from an air raid shows Israelis’ mental health

My friend sent me a terrifying video clip showing kids coming home from school last Friday, May 12, 2023. The children waiting at a bus stop near the Israeli town of Beit Shemesh heard the “Color Red” sirens and knew they had to take cove...

Making the punishment fit the crime

Recently, I have been accused of verbosity. We all know the punishment for this crime is a writer’s literary demise. However, for most other crimes, we can no longer name their punishments. This is an enticement to crime. We must fix this situa...

Iran, Israel, and the United States government

No one offers a reasonable explanation for Biden begging Iran to rejoin the debunked, tawdry, ineffective, and cynical agreement to keep nuclear weapons out of Iranian hands, if just for a while.  Israel keeps providing updates on how close...

Parents pay a high price for the privilege of owning their children

Yes, parents own their children. Anyone who says differently does not understand anything at all. “He who pays the piper calls the tune”—and children are purchased at the cost of the parents’ living standards. They are like bu...

Is there a remedy for Canada’s escalating ‘suicide’ policies?

Societies can prevent suicide by substituting homicide. In Canada, doctors in the spring of ‘23 will be authorized to encourage patients who are depressed, mentally ill, or just difficult or expensive to treat to commit suicide. To be fair, two...

Abortion, Old-Time German Childrearing, And Deadly Class Warfare

Five propositions supporting abortion rights were on the midterm ballots, and four won. Psychologically speaking, though, what exactly are abortion rights? They are policies designed to relieve the mental panic men and women feel when they are forced...

The Yom Kippur Mindset Could Benefit America

We hold elections to choose substitutes for ourselves to represent our interests. It does not always work out that way. Government superimposes itself upon the people who are not part of the governing system. This is partly because people, having div...

The left is destroying the family one sexualized child at a time

Why would important, sophisticated, secure, even insanely wealthy individuals on the Left want to destroy Americans’ family lives? This is not a theoretical issue because the woke goal of family destruction may, in the end, afflict millions of ...

Will artificial intelligence devour the leftist elites?

The left has made the poor of the world expendable — literal slaves, as in the sex and drug trade, or as wage slaves, given that cheap labor crossing at the southern border has effectively thwarted middle-class goals for many. Blacks in...

Google's sentient artificial intelligence is still dangerously inhuman

We can break the computer algorithms destroying critical thinking

In the past twenty years and, with accelerating speed in the past ten years, computer algorithms determine what information Americans receive and even dictate how they should respond to that information. There is an ancient method of analyzing inform...

The value of abortion

The abortion issue deserves a deeper perspective than is currently being offered. Democrats insist that abortion is a human right but there’s something much more pragmatic going on here. Given how our welfare society is causing a population col...

There's a malevolent logic to Biden's much-desired Iran agreement

I view Iran as an irrational and implacable enemy of Israel and its Jews.  Without Israel, visible Jews would have no safe space in the world.  So why would Israel's supposed friend, Obama-Biden, support a weak agreement that ...

The connection between decreased testosterone and the loss of empathy

Tucker Carlson gained a lot of attention for a video segment he did about declining testosterone levels in American males. In fact, the matter is more important even than he realizes because empathy, a necessary emotion in a healthy society, is tied ...

Biological weapons of mass destruction

Israel's important role in keeping liberal democratic values alive

Israel is likely to maintain democratic values and practices over the long haul.  Longstanding biblical ethics still affect political behavior via an emphasis on self-restraint as a moral mandate, something that is necessary for democratic ...

We lose intelligence when our society becomes too automated

Unlike pagans of old, today's climate activists will kill crop yields

Long ago, elites in various cultures sacrificed fellow citizens, including children, to their presumed gods to improve crop outcomes for the next growing season.  Woke anthropologists might call these the first documented examples of cancel...

The New York Times falsely portrayed a grim, sad Israel

As is the wont of the New York Times, it has published yet another hit piece on Israel.  As Ira Stoll writes about the essay, the Times writers are relentlessly negative.  Instead of noting the country...

Antisemitism And The Anti-Semites

Antisemitism is an abstract construct that describes people who hate Jews and/or the Jewish State. The question here is why they are hated. To this question, there are as many answers as there are anti-Semites but there are some general categories in...

Defining evil

Whether an act is evil or not is irrelevant to the left.  After all, Saul Alinsky dedicated his book, Twelve Rules for Radicals, to Satan, which accepts that being evil is good if it furthers your ends.  Under such strange ci...

In memory of Professor Heinrich Guggenheimer

Believe it or not, there is potential good news out there

What Americans need is some good news, and perhaps studying "complex systems" can supply it in a backhanded way.  In a world given to constant change, no one is ever "correct" for long. The political right is not pere...

Our entire system has become a form of cruel and unusual punishment

The term “cruel and unusual punishment” is usually applied to the death penalty and solitary confinement. Both are widely condemned by the left, as is incarceration for non-violent crimes. But the political left treats the sufferings of v...

How to create a better 'class' of politicians

The kaleidoscopic nature of our daily existence is a feature of a living, breathing system. So, it is of little wonder that our government is given to wild gyrations as well. As we, the people of the United States, continue to insist that those who w...

Across America, breaking the law often means there are no consequences

Let's begin with the conclusion so as not to keep anyone waiting: punishment under the law is no longer acceptable in a "woke" society.  One may still be subjected to legal prosecution if the crime threatens the left, as happe...

The Problem with Abstract Concepts

One person gets a mark of 50% on an examination, while a second person receives 100% on the same test. If we apply a simple statistical method to these two scores, we find their average to be 75%.  So, what ‘averaging’ has done is re...

At least one democracy does not hesitate to try, convict, and imprison its most prominent and powerful

Why it's <em>always</em> Israel's fault

A Proper Response to the Massacre of Innocents

The knee-jerk response to a catastrophe such as Newtown is the banning of guns. The academic and journalistic reasoning is essentially this: Guns represent a neat way of killing people. The killer never touches the blood or the body. He can look...
