Communists Betray Workers! Teachers Betray Students! Civil Rights Organizations Betray Blacks! Feminists Betray Women!
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union -- like most communist parties -- came to power as the great defender of workers.

The party was nothing more than a totalitarian organization that used workers to gain power -- and then suppressed the proletariat, just as it ...Read more
My Wife's Black Anesthesiologist Wasn't an Affirmative Action Hire
Two weeks ago, my wife, Susan, underwent major surgery for breast cancer. Happily, the cancer was caught so early (via routine mammogram) that it was barely a Stage 1 cancer. The surgeon was confident that the cancer was completely eradicated.
My wife had both the oncological surgery and the breast reconstruction at the same time at a private ...Read more
Israel As 'A Pariah' Among the Nations
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) twice described Israel as a "pariah" among the world's nations:
"Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah. ... [The Israeli public] understands better than anybody that Israel cannot hope to succeed as a pariah opposed by the rest of the world."

The Left-Right Divide Is Not Bridgeable!

Israel's Decency and Hamas' Cruelty Mean Nothing to 'The Left'
The moral confusion of our time is therefore not new. Almost 3,000 years ago, the Prophet Isaiah lamented, "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."
But at the start of the20th century, a new form of moral confusion was introduced. While ...Read more
God Made Order, Which is Why the Left is Undoing It!
It is impossible to understand what is happening to America -- and to the rest of the West -- without understanding the most dynamic ideology of the last hundred years: leftism.

You Should Rethink Flying United Airlines!
In 2021, United Airlines released the following statement:
"Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That's why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color."
