For all those who plan to come to the US to spread terrorist propaganda and call for the destruction of our allies, Marco Rubio has a public-service announcement: Think again. Or as Jack Nicholson put it in As Good As It Gets, “Sell crazy someplace else. We’re all stocked up here.” This all started in Glastonbury,...
Shockingly, Shia Islam’s Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has issued a Fatwa against Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu. Well, that changes everything, doesn’t it? IRAN: Grand Ayatollah tells “Muslims of world” to kill POTUS Trump. Makarem Shirazi: “Anyone threatening or acting against Supreme Leader is Mohareb (enemy of Allah, designated for killing)… If harm comes to...
Just a couple of hours ago, while major dad and I were watching the weekend news, there was a blurb about a fire in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where firefighters had come under attack when they showed up. The local news report was scary enough. Police and emergency crews are responding to an active shooter situation,...
Even Americans who loathe President Donald Trump should be capable of seeing that the U.S. and the world are safer without a nuclear-capable Iran. But Trump derangement is blinding them. Saturday night, Trump and the U.S. military executed a “spectacularly successful” precision bombing of Iran’s nuclear enrichment...
I wrote this in January 2006. This is an excerpt. Iranian President Mahmoud “the-Holocaust-is-a-myth” Ahmadinejad does not deny his intentions. He stated that Israel should be “wiped off the map.” And “G-d willing, with the force of G-d behind it, we shall soon experience a world without...
Note: There are two sets of readings for this weekend’s Masses for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. The Saturday Vigil Mass uses John 21:15-19 for the Gospel reading, while the Sunday Masses use Matthew 16:13-19. My reflection today will be on the Saturday readings, since I attend that Mass and generally write these...
At the birth of the internet age in the early 1990s, the U.S. and Europe took opposite approaches to advancing this new economy-changing technology. Europe tried the approach of industrial policy: They allowed government to regulate, subsidize and then tax the swarm of new tech companies that...
Michael Smerconish in a political commentator who hosts a radio show on Siriux XM and a weekly show on CNN. Today, Smerconish delivered a segment on this CNN show with the chyron “Trump on a Roll.” He’s basically making the case that Trump seems to gaining steam, not losing it as his 2nd term goes...
LATROBE, Pennsylvania — Weeks before the election last year, Jason Zugai, the vice president of United Steelworkers Local 2227, pulled then-U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick aside at a Donald Trump rally here in Westmoreland County and asked him to meet with him and the local union regarding the then-proposed deal between...
For the last seven days, the Protection Racket Media has deployed what we used to call “modified limited hangouts” to deal with the success of Donald Trump’s strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. First, they used a leaked and manipulated low-confidence assessment to suggest that the strike on Fordow hadn’t done much damage. Then, media outlets...
My young family and I were in Israel when the Israel Defense Forces and Mossad began their offensive operations against Iran on June 13, commencing what President Donald Trump has since called the “12-Day War.” Although the Mossad’s intelligence and the IDF’s rapid establishment of air superiority inside Iran proved to...
Before Robby Starbuck became a problem for leftist companies, alerting consumers to stupid woke indoctrination policies, he directed music videos. He worked with some big names, like Snoop Dogg and Natalie Portman. In my new video, I remind him that his Snoop Dogg...
Yesterday, Nate Cohn at the NY Times published a story confirming something he’d written about months ago. Kamala Harris didn’t lose the election because of low Democratic turnout. On the contrary, if the turnout had been higher she still would not have won. In the wake of last November’s election, many Democrats blamed low turnout...
As if the victory on Tuesday of the latest neophyte progressive to land in the public eye and scare the crap out of rational folks wasn’t enough, older Democrat ne’er do wells are feeling the urge to seek their moment in the sun, regardless of the own track record. One such miserable example is the...
This isn’t the usual sort of thing we write about here but it’s Friday and I was struck by this NY Times opinion piece published last month titled “There’s a Link Between Therapy Culture and Childlessness.” In 2023 the U.S. fertility rate fell to a record low. Some of the decline can be explained by...
