Well-meaning liberal Americans sympathize with the Arab-Palestinian cause because of the group’s determined, decades-long struggle against Israel’s superior military might. Recently, that favoritism among Democrats for the first time shifted to a majority who support the Palestinians over Israel. But if supporters of the Palestinians knew the whole truth, as the Palestinians tell it, they might reverse their sympathies. Indeed, when we listen to what the Palestinians say, and what they do, their underdog image is betrayed by belligerent goals, cruel methods and values anathema to Western civilization.

What does 1984, 2004, and 2024 all have in common? They were all election years, yes, but one common thread binds them all. They were revolutionary years of real outsiders and mavericks. What is fascinating about this is that in each of these years, we remembered and reflected on the resolve, leadership, and tenacity of the 40th president of the United States; Ronald Wilson Reagan. In 1984, Ronald Reagan won the biggest landslide in history, carrying 49 states in an exceedingly bold and decisive win. In 2004, Ronald Reagan passed away, which caused people to reflect on his legacy in...

Will Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities spark a larger shooting war between the two belligerent countries? Any aerial attack by Israel against Iran would be difficult. Israel has no long-range bombers to hit the nuclear sites that are over 1,000 miles away. Jet fighters would require a significant number of bunker-busting bombs that may have limited efficacy. The Israeli jets would need to be re-fueled, and the air force has limited means to conduct these operations (except for re-fashioned 707 tankers). The Israelis would have to fly over Iraqi air space, which is anathema to Baghdad. Plus, the...

On this date in 1944, Nazi Germany’s juridical vengeance against Hitler’s near-assassins commenced. Barely two weeks after Col. Stauffenberg‘s bomb had barely missed slaying the Fuhrer, eight of his principal co-conspirators stood show trials at the Volksgerichtshof (People’s Court) before hectoring prig Roland Freisler. The outcome, of course, was foreordained. Apparently orders had come down from on high to make the deaths as degrading as possible; this batch, convicted August 7-8, was hanged naked this day at Berlin’s Plotzensee Prison on thin cord (piano wire, say some sources, although it’s not clear to me whether this is literally true) suspended...

In 2021, the duplicitous FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million to verify the unfounded claims made against Donald J. Trump in the crazy “Pee-Pee” dossier. This is understandable because the dossier was so absurd that someone needed to be paid off with a lot of money to verify it was true while maintaining a straight face. Also, that is a problem because the FBI had already sworn the crazy dossier was true in 2016. The job of the agency is supposed to be to validate what they swore to as true. This story is proof that the whole Russia hoax...

“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. [...] the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” – Rep. Hubert H. Humphrey “The possession of arms by the people is the ultimate warrant that government governs only with the consent of the governed.” – Jeffrey R. Snyder, "A Nation of Cowards"...

Day 265 Of The Dictatorship Of COVID-19: Tyranny Came Before The Election Welcome to the weekend. This post title about "Game Over" in Venezuela once the late Hugo Chavez was elected President in 1998 the freedom of the country and its economy doomed to their eventual fate.

The COVID-19 tyranny first unleashed in March and then lessened for a bit back again. Big Government like colleges, universities, public schools being kept open and Big Business like chain...
