The best person to be the White House press secretary

In the ideal, this would have been the shortest essay ever in American Thinker, consisting of two words: Mark Steyn. Since I suspect that an article so short would be rejected, here is some padding, which is different from where the proof is. P...

If Democrats tax unrealized capital gains, the perfect ‘valuations czar’ is ready

It is possible that Kamala Harris will win the presidential election. If so, it is more than likely that she will implement certain policies, including the imposition of a so-called “Wealth Tax.” She has been rumbling about it of late....

Democrats are looking for solutions in all the wrong places

There are core cultural stories we keep in our minds, waiting for life to prove them true. For example, seeing the unaware gal adorned wearing the clothes of the Emperor or the hyperbolic guy finally struck by sky. It pleases me to say that Demo...

The myth of Kamala’s time-limited honeymoon

It is nearly impossible to listen to the news, both conservative and liberal outlets, without hearing about the Harris Honeymoon and that it is ending soon. This is untrue and is tied to another untruth, which is that the public keeps being told that...

Putin’s prisoner release echoes a hostage release in January 1981

Our adversaries fear strong presidents and will either try to keep them from office or yield to the inevitable. That may explain the events of the last two weeks. On July 19, 2024, at the RNC convention, Donald J. Trump accepted the Republican nom...

Conservatives must think strategically about Joe and Kamala

Politically, I am an Independent. I believe that it is possible for any of the political parties to have a good idea. Even the Dems, though not recently. For example, JFK had a good one. The one about your country doing for you or not—whatev...

Giving Dems the benefit of the doubt

There are some things with which it is hard to argue: As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain...

Ellul Redux: Propaganda

Less like a Fifth Column and more like a Third Reich, the Nouveau Nazis on and about college campuses (and elsewhere) need no new theories to explain their behaviors. Today’s Hamas-supporting Sturmabteinlung- and Schutzstaffel- wannab...

The Israel test for Hamas’s latest ‘peace’ offer

Yale (Inadvertently) Proves the Jews’ Ancient Claim to Israel

It’s time to get Chicago ready for a true DNC pub crawl

I admit to having done time in Chicago. Not much, but enough to know that The City That Works used to, but no mas. Actually, it still does if you are a criminal who crossed the border illegally or another type of lawbreaker. For you, it remains...

Self-hating Jews, Queers4Palestine, and conservatives walk into a bar and ask for the strongest drink available. The bartender says, “Are you sure? It’s pretty potent.” One from the groups replies, “We’re not afraid of e...

The Overlap Between Nazis and Hamas Is Downright Uncanny

If you’re wondering how Hamas and its fellow travelers, which both Biden and the Democrats support, are perfectly comparable to the Nazis, let me count some of the ways. (There are actually countless examples for all of these comparisons.) In t...

Doctoring So Easy, Even a Caveman Can Do It

The world has been Geicofying, dumbing things down so the formerly unqualified can do things previously beyond their smarts, skill sets, etc. Technological advances, however, might mean that the “dummifying” of your doctors can be slightl...

When it comes to Muslim massacres, we’ve seen all this before

“It has been said that history repeats itself. This is perhaps not quite correct; it merely rhymes.” (attributed to Theodor Reik)  On October 7, 2023, as Ilhan Omar said of September 11, 2001, some people did something. What ...

There’s Genocide And Then There’s ‘Palestinian Genocide’

There’s Zionism, and Then There’s Zionism

Inaccurate language can lead to all sorts of bad results.  Among the silliest and most destructive myths derived from bad use of language is the notion that Zionism is some brand-spanking-new concept that was a gift to the Jews since som...

Islam Is the Bull in History’s China Shop

As Muslims savage Israel, hoping to destroy it, there should be concerns among Christians and Jews about their histories in the Holy Land if these seventh-century throwbacks win.  Muslims are the bulls in the china shop of history.  T...

Iran and the Cult of the Mahdi

The current conflict between the Jewish State and the Muslims of Gaza is in no small part fueled by the tenets of Islam. Islam hates Jews. It hates Christians. It hates Baha’i. It hates… come to think of it, all non-Muslims. Non-Muslim M...

Is Hamas a state actor?

Although it is my preference that Hamas be hoisted with the petards of the IDF and their own misfires, here we address a different form of elevation: prestige.  Reports suggest that the Israelis removed to Gaza are “prisoners of wa...

Minimizing the number of dead Jews

It is fashionable to compare the current war in Israel with the 9/11 attack. “This is no less than Israel's 9/11,” said Ian Bremmer, the president of Eurasia Group, in reference to the scale of the attack.  Fo...

Government-enforced helplessness: A cautionary tale

In late August 1929, the Arabs of Mandatory Palestine did what they did best: slaughter defenseless people — in this case, as in many, Jews. The massacre took place on August 23–24, 1929, in Hebron, then part of British-contr...

I support Vivek — but I will not vote for him

What to do when protesters glue themselves to things?

Joe’s and the Dems’ (almost) perfect out on Hunter

When life gives you Hunter, make Hunter aid you.  Some may say that Hunter was not born that way, but rather created by the same poor family environment that created a hyper-sexualized, sex- and drug- addicted daughter. Created or born -...
