My thoughts on politics.
Sunday morning, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah spoke from the bunker in which he hides from Israel. Al-Manar, a Hezbollah media organ carried the rant which went beyond anti-Israel to antisemitic, which we all know is the same thing anyway. Here’s what he said: “The Netanyahu government is leading your nation to destruction. Don’t allow a …
The number of NFL teams protesting during the national anthem is long and, in the humble opinion of this blogger, depressing. Taking a knee during the national anthem is a sign of disrespect for a great and wonderful country that offers unheard of opportunities to people of all color, especially when compared to repressive third …
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: …
Patty Jenkins just sealed the deal. No one knows just how much she’ll be paid to direct the sequel to Wonder Woman, but rumors are that it will be somewhere between $7-$9 million. Not bad considering she made only $1 million the first time around? As for Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman herself, the Israeli actress …

Terror in Barcelona, terror in Marseilles. It’s becoming so frequent that it makes us uncomfortable, nervous, worried we’ll be next. And that may just be so, according to Brigadier General Nitzan Nuriel, of Israel’s Counter-Terrorism Bureau. “Western society must get used to the fact that terrorism is part of our life,” said Nuriel, speaking to …
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. Several news outlets have picked up the story and …
Everyone is sad that Charlie Gard has passed away. No matter how you felt about prolonging his life, you know that his parents loved him and are devastated. You know they’re hurting.
