Conservative talk show host Dennis Prager is recovering from a nasty fall in November and hopes to be back on the air soon despite remaining paralyzed from the shoulders down, his media company announced this week. PragerU CEO Marissa Streit told The Washington Times on Tuesday that the 76-year-old pundit “envisions himself speaking publicly” again for the first time since being hospitalized in Los Angeles with a serious back injury one week after Election Day. “Dennis remains the wise fighter we know, who loves life and adores his country,” Ms. Streit said. “Soon, we will be fortunate to have the...

The latest Dennis Prager health update comes from his brother Dr. Kenneth Prager on PragerU.

Friends of conservative author and radio host Dennis Prager urged prayer and poured out encouragement after the PragerU founder was hospitalized this week following a fall that left him seriously injured. "On Tuesday morning, PragerU founder and our dear friend, Dennis Prager, suffered a serious back injury following a fall," the X account of PragerU tweeted. "He's resting in a local Los Angeles hospital as doctors assess treatment options. We will keep you informed of his condition. In the meantime, Dennis welcomes the healing power of your prayers." Prager, 76, has been a nationally syndicated radio host since 1999. Prager,...

Dennis Prager is best known for founding PragerU, a conservative site that offers 5-minute video breakdowns of issues that matter to conservative voters. As an American conservative talk show voice and podcast host, Dennis, through PragerU has had influence over the political sphere for well over a decade.Yet it's not his politics making headlines this week. It's his health. Colleague Mark Davis called for prayers for Dennis on X (formerly known as Twitter), and Dennis's Instagram explained that he was dealing with a health issue. Here's what we know about what happened to Dennis and why fans are praying for...

To those who seek to annihilate Israel and its Jews, there is no one as valuable as a Jew who sides with them and many young Jews know this. By aligning themselves with today's Nazis they go from being hated by Israel-haters to being loved by them (for now). "Jewish Voice for Peace" and "If NotNow" willingly serve as useful idiots for those who wish to exterminate the Jewish state and the Jewish people-including them.

On January 23I posted on X, “Five days ago @MattWalshBlog wrote, ‘This is now the fourth article in a major media publication in the span of one week pushing ‘polyamory.’” Today, the @WSJ noted that ‘polyamory is having a moment.’ Perhaps this article that I wrote in 2012, called, ‘The Next Sexual Revolution Has Arrived,’ focusing on polyamory, deserves another read?”

The great tragedy of our time is that liberals vote left. Virtually every value liberals have held for a century is now held by conservatives and scorned by leftists. Therefore, America, in serious jeopardy of being lost, will be saved when people convince the liberals in their life that the left, not the conservative, is their enemy. This process begins by establishing whether a friend or relative is a liberal or a leftist. If it turns out that he or she is a liberal, it is worth engaging in respectful dialogue on the issues of the day. If the friend...

American Jews Who Worked for a Secular America Made a Fatal Error By Dennis Prager Published November 28, 2023 Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status.This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error. Indeed, it may turn out to be a fatal error. With the outburst of unprecedented levels of antisemitism, American Jews are living the famous warning: "Beware what you wish for; you just may get it."The primary reason American Jews have lived in the most Jew-friendly, even Jew-honoring,...

The greatest reason for the existential threat to America posed by the woke/the progressive/the Left is that liberals vote for them.If liberals voted for their values, the Left-wing destruction of every American institution — the American Medical Association and medical profession generally; the universities, high school and elementary schools; and the military, among many others — could not happen.This is the American tragedy in a nutshell: The Left votes its values. The Right votes its values. Liberals do not vote their values. Liberalism has almost nothing in common with leftism, yet virtually every liberal votes for the Left.Liberals believe in...

Following in Florida’s footsteps, Oklahoma’s anti-woke-obsessed education boss announced Tuesday that the state had become the second to welcome right-wing “PragerU Kids” instructional material into its classrooms statewide. Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, who has made a name for himself by declaring that race was not a factor in the Tulsa Race Massacre, wrote in a statement that he was “thrilled” to announce a partnership with PragerU, claiming it will “ensure high quality materials rich in American history and values” to Oklahomans. Despite its name, PragerU is not an accredited academic institution. It’s an uber-conservative advocacy group that’s become infamous...

Dennis Prager recently generated controversy by offering a series of defenses and rationalizations of grave sexual sins, including pornography. In the course of his remarks, Prager, who is Jewish, expressly rejected the Lord’s admonition concerning adultery of the heart (Matthew 5:28). “That phrase does not appear, obviously, in the Hebrew Bible,” he stated, further asserting that Judaism tends to be “behavior-based” while Christianity tends to be “heart-based.”

Were it not for its proximity to Christmas, Hanukkah would be unknown to most non-Jews and it would not be celebrated by most non-religious Jews. The proof is that the other post-Hebrew Bible holiday, Purim, while very popular in Israel, where it is sort of a Jewish Mardi Gras, is essentially unknown to non-Jews and largely ignored by most American Jews. Too bad. Hanukkah is actually of seminal importance both to Judaism and to the world. SNIP To understand why Judaism so bothered Antiochus, one needs to understand that no pagan religion completely rejected Hellenism. Judaism did. If Antiochus wanted...

This week, The New York Times published a column by a left-wing academic (forgive the redundancy), John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. In his first sentence, Mr. Della Volpe reveals his politics. He described young Americans as "stressed and sickened by thoughts of their rights and democracy slipping away." That is what Harvard and just about every other university tells America's young people: "Because of the Right, you should be stressed and sickened -- the Right is taking away your rights and destroying your democracy." The terrible irony is that there is...

My Salem radio talk-show host colleagues and I went from city to city in "battleground" states to speak on the forthcoming elections -- specifically about how vital it is for the survival of America that the Left and its political party be defeated. (I went to Chicago and Burlington for other reasons.) Two reflections: one from Philadelphia and the other from Chicago: I then took an Uber to the venue. My driver was a black man, and as I almost always do with strangers, I engaged in conversation with him. He turned out to be particularly inquisitive about me and...

GAINESVILLE, FL — Despite installing a new "Trinity Wishbone" offense during fall camp, PragerU has once again found itself dead last in the NCAA after a 94-0 drubbing at the hands of the Florida Gators. "I don't know where it went wrong. We had a really great week of practice, all in easily digestible, five-minute chunks" said Mr. Prager in a post-game interview. "But at the end of the day, I'm 74 years old and no amount of knowledge about the benefits of free-market capitalism could help me avoid the 23 sacks we gave up today." PragerU had reportedly entered...

The West has gone through many eras — the so-called Dark Ages, the Renaissance, the Age of Reason, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Age and the Post-Modern. The present era is the Age of the Absurd. In terms of the absurdities the cultural elites believe, and have convinced masses of people to believe, there has never been a time like today. Here is a list of the most ridiculous that immediately come to mind. No. 1: Men give birth. Heading the list has to be the radical redefinition — indeed, denial of — sex and gender, leading to such reality-defying statements...

As I’ve documented on a number of occasions, the left ruins everything it touches. There is no exception. From universities to high schools and now including even elementary schools, to late-night TV, to sports, to the arts and, increasingly, science, the left is a destruction machine. And nowhere is this damage more evident or tragic than with regard to women. In fact, nothing demonstrates the power of left-wing ideology as much as what this ideology has done to women. So powerful is leftist ideology, it is more powerful than women’s nature. Here are five examples: 1) Desire to Bond With...

For two years, Americans have been partially or entirely deprived of fundamental freedoms -- of assembly, speech, religious liberty, making a living, a child's right to an education, access to early treatment for a potentially deadly virus, and more -- for the first time in American history. That half of America, especially its elites, has either made peace with or supported these deprivations of freedom is why many of us worry about America's future as a free society. Even more concerning has been the reactions of America's great religions -- specifically, Catholics, Protestants, Mormons (Latter-day Saints) and Jews. The government...

As this is my last column of 2021, I thought it would be worthwhile to review some of the most important observations I made over the course of an awful year. I hope you agree, and wish you -- and our country -- a happier New Year. JAN. 5: These past few years have taught me not to so quickly judge the quiet Germans, Russians, etc. Of course, I still judge Germans who helped the Nazis and Germans who in any way hurt Jews. But the Germans who did nothing? Not so fast. What has changed my thinking has been...
