Why does America support Israel? The answer isn’t rooted in theology or special-interest politics but is grounded in strategic national interest. Victor Davis Hanson explains how Israel’s status as the Middle East’s only stable democracy, its alignment with U.S. security priorities, and its role in countering Iran’s decades-long campaign of terror against Americans make it an essential ally on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words." “ There's only one government that is truly a free democratic government, and that's Israel. So, it has affinities with the United States and interest with the United States that transcends...

His name was Geert Adriaans Boomgaard. Born in 1788, he was a grumpy gentleman. And no one, in 1896, could blame him — at 108, Mr. Boomgaard had buried two wives, twelve children and more grandchildren than he could count. He had seen too much death, buried too many loved ones. Born in 1788 in Groningen, Boomgaard was the son of a sea captain. And in 1812, at age 24, he enlisted in Napoleon’s Grande Armée. He wanted to see adventure, wanted to see the world. He stood with his comrades before the emperor. A sea of men, young men,...

The account is named @bosabearbrew and has...

There was once a small village surrounded by a tall wooden fence that had been there as long as any of the villagers could remember. A traveler arrived one day and walked into the pub. He asked the locals why the fence was there when it blocked the beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. They all shrugged. No one knew. The fence had just always been there. And every year, people worked to maintain and repair it. The traveler smiled and said, "If no one knows why it's there, surely you don't need it anymore. We should tear it down....

Kennedy Jr., had allegedly deleted. The stated goal: keep the data “outside...
