My thoughts on politics.
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 …
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. Conan, it was a pleasure hosting you at our house. You’re …
Terror in Barcelona, terror in Marseilles. It’s becoming so frequent that it makes us uncomfortable, nervous, worried we’ll be next.

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 …

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. Perhaps the most striking line in all the coverage was this one from Truth Revolt: “Virtually none of Charlie Gard’s parents [sic] wishes …
Charlie Gard might have been saved, had he been allowed to have the experimental treatment in the United States for which his parents raised the funds. By the time all the strings had been pulled to make it happen, it was, however, too late. Charlie’s parents are now ready to drop their legal battle. They’ve …
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.
