Gerald Ford’s remark on the occasion of his inauguration that “Our long national nightmare is over” kept running through my head as I watched Donald Trump’s second one yesterday. It’s a source of indescribable happiness that a presidency run by unknown, unaccountable, and radical leftists was finally done – and with it a wrecking operation…

The joyous return of three Israelis held hostage and abused by Hamas for fifteen months cannot obscure the reality of the deal that set them free: It’s not a ceasefire, it’s a hudna – a temporary pause jihadists use to emulate a diabolical strategy practiced by Islam’s prophet Mohammed. When Muslims adherent to Sharia’s totalitarian…

Donald Trump has recently stupefied his supporters by embracing Joe Biden’s policies towards Israel, antithetical to his own historic positions, to his campaign promises, and to our vital interests. Two new videos critically analyze the alarming Gaza ceasefire deal and how we got here. The first is a new podcast by my friend and colleague,…

The Gaza ceasefire Joe Biden announced yesterday is a formula not for peace, but for more war. It would prevent Israel from finishing off Hamas and return the Gaza Strip to its effective control. When Hamas predictably resumes its attacks, Donald Trump will be President, not Biden. Thankfully, his incoming National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz,…

Can a man without an official portfolio inflict an enduring defeat on a President-elect not yet in power? That would be the case – unless Donald Trump promptly repudiates a disastrous deal engineered by a special Mideast envoy-designee that would effectively force Israel to lose its war with Hamas. Follow me: A rich investor-turned-amateur diplomat…

We traditionally mark the peaceful transfer of presidential power by holding the inauguration on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. A large temporary structure built for the occasion provides seating for not only the incoming and outgoing presidents and their families but virtually every other senior official and the entire Congress. In other words, it’s…

Joe Biden is to visit the State Department today to boast about his foreign policy accomplishments. It should be a very short speech. Unfortunately, it will be likely be long, at best, highly selective – and, more likely, characteristically thoroughly dishonest. Put simply, Biden inherited from Donald Trump a world largely at peace; Biden bequeaths…

The catastrophic fires raging out of control in Los Angeles are a product of multiple factors ranging from high winds to empty hydrants. There’s growing evidence, however, that people have deliberately torching property. At least one is in police custody. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the greatest arsonist of all time. He’s Communist…

President-elect Donald Trump held an electrifying press conference Tuesday. In its course, he described the vital importance of Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal to the national and economic security of the United States. While it remains to be seen what Mr. Trump will do once in office, just by talking about those interests he…

Official narratives this week in Washington marking Jimmy Carter’s passing reflect a highly selective rendering of his White House years. If the past is indeed prologue, his many grave mistakes must be recalled, not just his few positive achievements. Three debacles, and what has flowed from them, remain particular blights on our national security and…

Last night, the Biden administration sent eleven Yemeni jihadists held for years at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the Persian Gulf nation of Oman. This step is the latest effort by the outgoing president’s team to undermine his successor – who wisely kept “Gitmo” open – and to sabotage the national security.…

The Food and Drug Administration announced last week that, in the interest of “simplifying” the “vaccination schedule for most individuals,” the original monovalent Pfizer and Moderna COVID jabs are “no longer authorized for use in the United States.” Even though the FDA doesn’t acknowledge that these so-called “vaccines” don’t work and have actually proven to be harmful,…

A young Air National Guard serviceman is under arrest, suspected of leaking dozens of classified documents. They disclose, among other things, serious disarray in America’s alliance relationships and inconvenient truths concerning Biden policies contributing to it. These revelations come as the principal beneficiary of such disarray and policies, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, is continuing to…
