Many in the media, and among the intelligentsia in general, see themselves as citizens of the world. They see the United States as just the country that happens to be lucky enough to be graced by their presence.
Internationally, the law of the jungle ultimately prevails, despite pious talk about “the international community” and “world opinion,” or the pompous and corrupt farce of the United Nations.
There is something grotesque about people living thousands of miles away, in safety and comfort, loftily second-guessing and trying to micromanage what the Israelis are doing in a matter of life and death.
If you want to minimize civilian casualties, then minimize the danger of war, by no longer coming to the rescue of those who start wars.
It is not at all clear what Israel’s critics can rationally expect the Israelis to do when they are attacked. Suffer in silence? Surrender? Flee the Middle East? Or — most unrealistic of all — fight a “nice” war, with no civilian casualties? General William T. Sherman said it…
At one time, launching a military attack on another nation risked not only retaliation but annihilation. When Carthage attacked Rome, that was the end of Carthage. But when Hamas or some other terrorist group launches an attack on Israel, the aggressor knows in advance that…
“Ceasefire” and “negotiations” are magic words to “the international community.” But just what do ceasefires actually accomplish? In the short run, they save some lives. But in the long run they cost far more lives by lowering the cost of aggression.
The Middle East must lead the world in ceasefires. If ceasefires were the road to peace, the Middle East would easily be the most peaceful place on the planet.
Lowering the price to be paid by aggressors virtually guarantees more aggression.
Those who keep calling for an end to the "cycle of violence" are what make such violence more likely. "World opinion" in general and the United Nations in particular can always be counted on to counsel "restraint" in response to attacks and "negotiations" in response to lethal…
People who have long been sheltered from mortal dangers can indulge themselves in the belief that there are no mortal dangers. Nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran or North Korea — and, through them, in the hands of hate-filled terrorists — may be all that will finally wake up…
There is no concession that will bring lasting peace to the Middle East, because the terrorists and their supporters are not going to be satisfied by concessions. The only thing that will satisfy them is the destruction of Israel.
During all the years when Arab countries controlled the land now proposed for a Palestinian homeland, there was no talk about any such homeland. Only after Israel took control of that territory as a result of the 1967 war was it suddenly sacred as a Palestinian homeland.
Regardless of fashionable rhetoric, there is no Middle East "peace process" any more than trading "land for peace" has been a viable option. Nor is a Palestinian "homeland" a key to peace.
Those who say that we can contain a nuclear Iran, as we contained a nuclear Soviet Union, are acting as if they are discussing abstract people in an abstract world. Whatever the Soviets were, they were not suicidal fanatics, ready to see their own cities destroyed in order to…
There is something grotesque about people living thousands of miles away, in safety and comfort, loftily second-guessing and trying to micro-manage what the Israelis are doing in a matter of life and death. Such self-indulgences are a danger, not simply to Israel, but to the…

Whatever the vision or rhetoric of the Progressive era, its practice was a never-ending expansion of the arbitrary powers of the federal government. The problems they created so discredited Progressives that they started calling themselves “liberals” — and after they discredited…

President Biden just delivered his budget to Congress, and it is completely unserious. He proposes trillions in new taxes that you and your family will pay directly or through higher costs. Mr. President: Washington has a spending problem, NOT a revenue problem.
@TheThomasSowell With the sheer girth of the books Sowell writes you likely have material to use for decades. Glad you could keep the profile up.
@TheThomasSowell I'm a Nigerian. I fancy I'd be a democrat if I were American. But discovering your YT channel and ideas is a blessing to my thinking — it's changed a lot for the better since then. Thanks so much.
@TheThomasSowell Yes! This is basic history available for all to see... If only we study. Thank you for sharing!
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
It is wrong that the federal government is not providing us information. It is wrong that they are not following the law. It is wrong that the burden of reckless federal policies will fall on state and local communities.
BREAKING: Sen. Rand Paul cites 6 partisan activists "who know each other," all from NSC, 3 of whom now work for Schiff, & asks if "they've been discussing for maybe months a plan to bring the president down ... I wonder if it [impeachment] was coordinated" realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/01/…
Intellectuals may like to think of themselves as people who "speak truth to power" but too often they are people who speak lies to gain power.
One of these people was a victim of the greatest hoax in modern history. The other is a worthless piece of shit.
Questions? Here’s your answer...
Remember that Senate Democrats literally tried to derail a Supreme Court nominee on the basis of claims made by Michael Avenatti. Shame on you, @SenFeinstein. Shame on every single one of you.
Why is President Trump the only political figure in America fighting tirelessly to end the illegal invasion of our sacred nation? Why won’t others honor their constitutional oath to uphold the laws of the land?
Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal Immigration hurts American workers, burdens American taxpayers, undermines public safety, and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals and communities... pscp.tv/w/bqtfHTFvTlFs…
Are we now so f***ing desensitized to all things Trump that this mind-blowing news that top FBI & DOJ officials actually believed the newly-elected President might've been working for Russia is just ho-hum, no big deal? Bullshit. It is a big deal. It's unprecedented. It's scary.
Ex-FBI official Frank Figliuzzi: I worked alongside McCabe at the FBI. Don't ignore his warnings about Trump. "FBI agents are trained to identify and mitigate threats, and it's clear that ... McCabe was worried about a potential national security threat." nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
Correction, George. We fear 100 million numbskulls embracing the failure of socialism yet again, led by the most ill-informed pied piper imaginable. Good call.
President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea 🇮🇱🇺🇸
US District Court proceeding now confirms it was John McCain who leaked the phony Russian dossier to the media just before the election. McCain was trying to tamper with the election and later lied about it numerous times: foxnews.com/politics/mccai…
Jeff Flake(y) doesn’t want to protect the Non-Senate confirmed Special Counsel, he wants to protect his future after being unelectable in Arizona for the “crime” of doing a terrible job! A weak and ineffective guy!
Rick Scott was up by 50,000+ votes on Election Day, now they “found” many votes and he is only up 15,000 votes. “The Broward Effect.” How come they never find Republican votes?
President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the U.S., China and Russia. Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly!
Is there anyone in this government in a position to order Sessions to ‘open up the papers & documents without redaction’? Lemme think, lemme think ...
....FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems - and so much more. Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!
