Memo to Iran: The Only Thing That Will Stop Bibi Is a Nuclear Bomb

The Iranians have proven beyond dispute that they are capable of delivering large-warhead hypersonic strikes with high accuracy. And while it remains to be seen how many of these top-shelf missiles they truly possess and what their rate of production is, the bottom line is that Iran has achieved a major strategic victory which carries a strong deterrence effect in its wake. With each passing month, the Iranians will grow stronger – and the Israelis will become more desperate to try to do somethi...

The Epstein List Is Dead- Long Live the Epstein List

The events of the past few days should have convinced any remaining doubters; our government is insufferably, indubitably corrupt. Tip of the hat to Leo Gorcey’s “Mugs” character on the old East Side Kids films for popularizing “indubitably.” It’s a good word. At any rate, these are real monsters, with less principles than mob bosses.

When Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, looking like terrified schoolboys in the principal’s office, insisted that Jeffrey Epstein actually did kill himself, Donald Trum...

The Birth Dearth

Is there a pernicious plot to depopulate the planet?

I don’t know.

But among global “elites”, political opportunists, and weather wackos, there’s a general consensus that there are too many people. Yet while much of “the West” frets about an influx of foreigners, most countries are culling themselves.

Around the globe…behind the scenes in plain sight…people are pruning their progeny. In ways subtle and sly, overt and obvious, we’re consistently nudged to reduce reproduction.

The propaganda is th...

I Love America

We bombed Iran and, despite a temporary cessation of hostilities, it’s likely that President Donald Trump and his counterpart in Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, intend to drag the United States into yet another destabilizing effort in the Middle East, perhaps the most dangerous one yet. As an Iranian American, I feel as if my greatest fears are now being realized.

Like many Iranian Americans, I love this country and the many blessings that it’s provided my family — so much so that I...

Evangelical Support for Israel’s Genocide in Gaza Includes Its Attack Against the Last Entirely Christian Town in Palestine

The good news is that tons of people—especially under the age of 50—are awakening to the hellish barbarism being committed by the Israelis against the Palestinian people. Count Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon—and even Piers Morgan (can you believe it?)—in the list of the enlightened.

The bad news is that protestant evangelicals remain in a deep state of denial. This is due, of course, to the preponderance of the false prophecy doctrines of Scofield Dispensationalism among most evange...

The Trump-led Republican Party Is Crashing Into a Wall, Which Will Probably End That Party.

The failure of the Republican Party is now so obvious that all intelligent analysts see it as disastrously harming not only the American people but publics throughout the world. The key reasons why I say this have already been stated by others, and here they are; I think they made the case very well:

Thoughts About the Mass for Care of Creation

The Vatican, on July 3, approved a new votive Mass “for care of creation” which Pope Leo XIV celebrated for the first time on July 9. A follow-on from the Francis pontificate promulgated to mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’, the new votive Mass has elicited a variety of contradictory responses. I’ll weigh in: I think it is balanced in the middle, and in medio stat virtus. It’s in the middle because it avoids two extremes: the Scylla of secular environmentalism and the Charybdis of disrega...

President Franklin Roosevelt, the Great Depression, and the New Deal

FDR as Our Greatest Twentieth Century President

A few weeks ago I’d published an article on Father Charles Coughlin, the notorious radio priest of the 1930s, and my extensive reading revealed that he had been a far more formidable figure than I’d ever realized.

Although he was relegated to just a sentence or two in my introductory history textbooks, Coughlin had pioneered political commentary in the new medium of radio broadcasting, and partly as a result he had amassed an astonishing audience o...

Why BlackRock Suddenly Gave Up on the Neo-Nazi Junta

When the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict started in 2014, American and multinational conglomerates rushed to ensure they got their “piece of the pie” in the unfortunate country. In around a decade or so, the Kiev regime changed laws and enabled the total or near-total takeover of every remotely valuable asset built by generations in the Soviet Union. While the socialist superstate certainly had its flaws, the legacy it left in former Ukraine has never been matched by any government since th...

Globalism Destroyed American Jobs

For many years I reported monthly on the jobs reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Over the years the new jobs were consistently in health and social assistance, waitresses and bartenders, and government employment.  

Manufacturing jobs making things that could be exported to pay for imports simply were not present.

I emphasized that the jobs offshoring policy associated with globalism was de-industrializing the United States and destroying the middle class and the ladders of upward mob...
