My thoughts on politics.
You’ve heard about the 40,000 homes destroyed by Harvey. But did you know about all the cars that have been destroyed? That figure is approximately 1 million in the Houston metro area, alone! Makes you wonder how it is that so many more cars than homes have been destroyed as a result of the storm. …
Comedian and talk show host Conan O’Brien is in Israel. I’m leaving America during this divisive time for the relative peace and quiet of the Middle East. https://t.co/RnVTythuzI #ConanIsrael — Conan O’Brien (@ConanOBrien) August 17, 2017 He’s trying to give equal time to all.

You wouldn’t know that what happened in Charlottesville had anything to do with Jew-hate. You had celebrities desperately trying not to talk about that. Actress Olivia Wilde shared her thoughts on the subject, her mom being a candidate for the House of Representatives. There was stuff about Nazism and Blacks and the Alt Right but …
It’s always a little startling and certainly interesting to see American politics through the lens of the outsider. Caroline Glick, a native Chicagoan, and journalist who picked up and moved to Israel some years ago, gave her opinion of “McMaster’s purge of Trump loyalists” on August 3.

Are you following the whole business with Donald Jr. and his collusion with the Russians? Is it a big deal or, as they say in the vernacular, a “nothing burger?” Listen to Greg Gutfield hash it out with guests including the brilliant Mark Steyn.

The Wall Street Journal carried a piece that quoted Syrian rebels saying they couldn’t have survived without Israel’s assistance. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu immediately denied the report. Seriously? Why would Israel want to be on record as taking sides in this mess?? Netanyahu agreed only to giving humanitarian support such as medical care, food, …
The United States and Israel share many common issues, because both countries are democracies. One such issue is the struggle to see who will control the Supreme Court, the liberal left, or conservatives. Israeli Minister of Justice, Ayelet Shaked, would like to change the makeup of the Israeli high court to include more right wing …
