President Trump’s weekend tweets about the Trump Tower having been the subject of federal wiretapping during and after the presidential campaign are throwing super high octane gasoline on the fires set by leftwing efforts to topple President Trump. Out of control fires have a way of destroying everything in their path—the...
All Americans ought to be encouraged to read Nonie Darwish’ new book “Wholly Different – Why I Chose Biblical Values Over Islamic Values”. Because, as Andrew Klavan has suggested (and we noted in an earlier posting), whether we like it or not, humanity is at war over the nature of...
A concept attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt said (paraphrasing): “small minds think about people; average minds think about events; and great minds think about ideas”. Watching America’s political convulsions in 2017, it seems as if the unusually ‘large’ personality that is Donald Trump is dragging America’s and the world’s great minds down...
Listening today to Bill Walton doing color commentary on a college basketball game, it’s easy to pick up the pop culture/PC vibe that glories in its outrage against President Trump’s efforts to bring control to immigration.

When you’re ready to ponder something deeper than the usual political commentary, do take the time to read it. It is profoundly relevant to the challenges facing...
I remember campus protests when I was in school. They were small-scale mostly, protesting for higher wages for dining staff. Once or twice they got larger, like when Condi or President Bush visited and people had turned against the Iraq war. I was never a part of them. But still, at...
Most arguments surrounding the horrifying attacks in Paris on November 13th have focused on what is to be done to prevent more. The hardest question is how to defeat ISIS and defend its Syrian and Iraqi victims without swelling the group’s ranks. But it struck me that this Paris attack is...
We’ve heard a lot recently about the student loan crisis. Politicians running for President are essentially required to have a plan to address it – with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders wanting to spend $350-$500 billion with a B to solve it over four years (plans by Marco Rubio and...
