The polarizing issues with staying power…
A recent first (and last) jaunt to Hawaii has revealed to these jaded eyes NOT the romantic, sensual paradise its name and reputation have always evoked, but rather a run-down welfare state. The more prosperous housing developments are cheap-looking, like decaying neighborhoods from the 1950s, yet priced at the high 6 figures, some tacky...

To understand nihilistic Leftists and their perverse talent for smashing good things and retooling them into bad things, go no further than two seemingly disparate personalities making recurrent headlines nowadays. One is old, one is young, but both were dysfunctional, deadened young people brought to life early on by the excitement of intoxicating celebrity,...

The idealized “Progressive” narrative for the Israel/”Palestine” impasse is that these are two legitimate, equally worthy peoples, each yearning for a homeland of their own. What compassionate observer of this conflict could object to a two-state solution? Two nice neighbors, side by side, like Ozzie & Harriet next door to Ricky & Lucy. The...

We were struck recently by Good Catholic Nancy “Defarge” Pelosi’s snarling profession of “a loving heart” when questioned about whether she hated Trump. Add to that heartwarmer the unveiled threats of mayhem to be visited upon Climate Deniers from camera-hog harridans Scoldilocks Greta and Hanoi Jane, and one is left with the distinct impression...

As the Trump haters giddily gloat & sputter out their half-finished, half-assed, wholly hypocritical “impeachment,” the rational stay the course…like Trump himself. Sorry, folks. He’s still President and, God willing, will be thru 2024. Americans are truly blessed with this totally unexpected ‘Positive Deviant‘ who will continue to rejuvenate the free market economy and...

It’s good, great, stunningly wonderful news for Great Britain, and delivering it is wild & wooly messenger Boris Johnson, now officially the British Donald Trump to the rescue. Three cheers for those sane & sensible Brits, tired of being “patronized and ridiculed,” who have just elected him and rejected the setting sun of a...

On this Thanksgiving weekend (like EVERY minute of our lives), the blessings of being American remain firmly obvious to the honest and rational. However difficult personal or economic circumstances may be, this bustling free marketplace of goods, services and ideas provides each one of us the opportunity to work, to create, to earn, to...

If a family is a tyranny ruled over by its weakest member (attributed to G.B. Shaw), a society can just as easily be tyrannized by its losers, naysayers and malcontents. All Americans (and much of the Western world) are granted the fundamentals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but for many, particularly...

In a very long, wide-ranging conversation, New York Jewish Liberal David Samuels and California Catholic Conservative Angelo Codevilla engage in the ultimate bull session about American politics and the perks & perils of American power. Through it all runs Codevilla’s recurring (and convincing) worldview of an insatiably power-hungry Elite that exists solely to control...

Never Trumpers and Progs notwithstanding, their feet planted firmly in the air 8 miles high, Trump is proving to be “the perfect President for these times.” With Bill Clinton’s dour bride on the brink of slamming the last nail into America’s coffin, we were faced with what was truly a life-and-death decision. For those...
