My thoughts on politics.
In President Trump’s State of the Union address, he spoke about his desire for legislation to be passed that would prevent enemies of the U.S. from receiving aid. “I took an action endorsed unanimously by the Senate just months before: I recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Shortly afterwards, dozens of countries voted in …
Vice President Mike Pence is in Israel, but Arab members of Knesset are going to boycott Pence’s speech to the Israeli parliament. Why? Because the Trump administration has recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Why this should be big news is beyond understanding. Is there any other sovereign nation that is not allowed to choose its …
Haley warned that there’s a new sheriff in town. She warned that the US was “taking names.” She warned they’d leave UNESCO and she warned that US funds to the UN would be slashed. And the president backed her—said, “We’ll save a lot.” And now we will. The United States is reducing its UN funding …
George Soros has been doing whatever he can to bring down President Trump. His latest gambit is to gather all the women who wish to accuse the president of harassment, prepare them, and have them do a press conference, all nicely organized. He’s doing this under the auspices of a nonprofit organization called Brave New …
Many presidents have promised to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. Trump is just one more. Now that the waiver has expired, legally, he has to move the embassy.

Israel, a mostly ceremonial position. The occasion was Rivlin’s speech at the Jewish Federation General Assembly in Los Angeles. The Jerusalem Post has the story: Rivlin told Gadot. “Even then we knew you’d be great. I am so proud and happy to meet you, a real and beloved ambassador for the State of Israel, who …
Kenneth L. Marcus has been appointed assistant secretary for civil rights in the Department of Education. This has the left going out of its collective mind. Why? Because Marcus has criticized the Office for Civil Rights for failing to address what he calls “antisemitic incidents that masquerade as “anti-Israelism.” If you google “Kenneth Marcus appointment” …
Trump used the Russian bribes of the Clinton Foundation during the election and Hillary claimed ignorance. But a new report from The Hill, suggests otherwise. Here’s a pull quote but do read the whole thing, it’s fascinating: The Obama administration’s decision to approve Rosatom’s purchase of Uranium One has been a source of political controversy …
A Jerusalem Post article tells us that Iran has upped its funding of the terror group Hezbollah from $200m to $830m. Quite a jump! The article explains this is due to the lifting of sanctions as part of the JCPOA. Even now, everyone mouths what they were told to think regarding Obama and the JCPOA: …
