" Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the seed of Israel ." Numbers 23:10 The sun sets above the hills. The siren cries out and on the busy highways that wend among the hills,  the traffic stops ,  the people stop , and a moment of silence comes to a noisy country. Flags fly at half mast, the torch of remembrance is lit, memorial candles are held in shaking hands and the country's own version of the Flanders Field poppy, the Red Everlasting daisy, dubbed Blood of the Maccabees, adorns lapels. And so begins the Yom Hazikaron, Heroes Remembrance Day, the day of remembrance for fallen soldiers and victims of terror-- Israel's Memorial Day. What is a memorial day in a country that has always known war and where remembrance means adding the toll of one year's dead and wounded to the scales of history? A country where war never ends, where the sirens may pause but never stop, where each generation grows up knowing that they will have to fight or flee. To stand wat...

For only $27, you can buy a ‘Tax the Rich’ t-shirt and help an elderly progressive millionaire fly around the country to campaign against the oligarchy from the luxury of a private jet. Sen. Bernie Sanders has been touring the country on his ‘Fighting Oligarchy Tour’ in which the elderly senator and assorted socialist sidekicks like AOC hold rallies in liberal areas to denounce big business…while doing some pretty big business. Earlier this year, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is 83 years old, filed to run for reelection in 2030 to be able to take office at the age of 89, and hold it until he is well in his mid 90s. Aspiring to spend nearly half a century in the halls of Congress would seem like evidence of oligarchy. But despite having a campaign date in 2030, Bernie quickly shot to the no. 2 spot in current year campaign spending. Over $1 million went to Aisle 518 Strategies, a ‘progressive’ campaign operation created by Tim Tagaris, Bernie’s former senior advisor and digital fundraising d...

When the skies over the Swiss resort of Davos next fill with over 1,000 private jets bearing the elites of the world to discuss its fate, the Teutonic man behind it all may no longer be there. Klaus Martin Schwab, born during WWII to a Nazi factory manager using forced labor to make flamethrowers, is Mr. Globalism. Even those who don’t know his name have seen that face with its cold fish stare through the rimmed eyeglasses looking back at them from under the towering futura font, slim and minimalist, of a solemn address at a World Economic Forum event. “As I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect,” Klaus announced with dryly punctilious precision, declaring his departure while telling us nothing about why he’s leaving. One reason may be that the WEF is investigating Schwab’s alleged withdrawal of cash from ATMs and use of the WEF to pay for hotel room massages, but the WEF founder has be...

When Muslim terrorists began their latest massacre in Kashmir, they first checked IDs and asked their victims to recite the ‘Kalmas’ one of several Islamic recitations used by Indian Muslims, beginning with, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger.” Those who could not recite the Islamic doctrine were killed. “Are you Muslim? If yes, then recite the Kalma,” victims were told by the Jihadis. “He asked my husband’s name and religion. Then he shot him,” one female survivor testified. Describing the massacre of 26 innocent people, including an American citizen, in a Kashmir meadow as terrorism is misleading. The targets were not selected because they were government officials. They were not screened for their politics. The location was not a strategic target. The only thing that the victims had in common was that they were non-Muslims. This is not terrorism. It’s genocide. Muslim terrorists have followed the same protocol for screening out and exterminating non-Muslims. Du...

In the year 2025, the UK Supreme Court ruled that women exist. The shocking ruling by two lady justices (Lady Rose and Lady Simler) and one lord (Lord Hodge) found for the existence of women and concluded that men do not become women by putting on dresses and getting a government document certifying that they’re female now. The two elderly Jewish ladies and Scottish lord, who are presumably quite aware that they are ladies and lords, and not vice versa, concluded “that sex has its biological meaning.” Furthermore that “Parliament in using the words ‘man’ and ‘woman’ …referred to biological sex” and that the Scottish government had not successfully “nullified the definition of ‘woman’”. Akin to Galileo’s legendary “e pur si muove”, the lord and ladies tentatively laid out their shocking conclusion that women are not men and that men are not women in the gentlest of fashions to avoid shocking the delicate sensibilities of the woke who believe otherwise. The ruling politely noted that the...

Ben Affleck recently complained that California “came to take this industry for granted a little bit.” By that the movie star meant that the state wasn't funding it enough, but that's not for lack of California officials trying. California has a $68 billion deficit, and Gov. Newsom is proposing $375 million in budget cuts for the California State University system, $68 million in cuts for wildfire prevention (even as LA is recovering from the worst fires in history) and doubling Hollywood’s tax credits to $750 million Hollywood, which already benefits from $350 million in breaks, will get $750 million in tax credits even as money is being cut from education, public safety and even wildfire prevention. The entertainment industry would be able to recoup up to 35% of their spending, up from the current 20%, and the subsidies would cover everything from sitcoms to reality shows. The California Production Coalition, whose members include the umbrella trade group for Disney, Amazon,...

The Father of the Constitution was also the father of tariffs. Indeed, the first piece of legislation passed was James Madison’s Tariff Act. Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution, saw tariffs as a driving purpose of the Constitution and a sustaining force of the new government. The United States was deep in debt after the American Revolution and its previous system of government had made it impossible to either pay its debts or form a national economic policy. And without it, individual states and powerful figures would be corrupted by British and French agents into manipulating the country and eventually doom the nation to collapse in a civil war. As I described in my book, ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, Rhode Island’s radicals had nearly scuttled the Constitution over economic policy. And when the Tariff Act was passed, Rhode Island still had not joined, and some suspected it never would, and instead would go on serving as an entry point...
