The Far Left and the Far Right Agree on Jew Hatred
They came waving Palestinian flags and clad in the keffiyehs that have become a symbol of the Palestinian cause. Dozens of chanting protesters crowded the street outside Goldie, a vegan restaurant serving Israeli-inspired dishes in central Philadelphia, blocking traffic and chanting, "Goldie, Goldie, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide."...Read more
All the Single Ladies
Economist Melissa Kearney has studied poverty, inequality and family structure for more than 20 years and come to the conclusion that America's drift away from the two-parent norm has "contributed to the economic insecurity of American families, has widened the gap in opportunities and outcomes for children from different backgrounds, and today ...Read more
The Oldest Hatred Roars Back
In one day of savagery, Hamas brought the world's oldest hatred into the mainstream. The upwelling of antisemitism around the globe, and especially in the United States, mocks the naivety of those who imagined that the oldest hatred was mostly in the past, that Israel could be a normal nation, or that a two-state solution to the Palestinian ...Read more
Hamas Uses Israel's Humanity Against It
Hamas is banking on short memories, lazy journalism and short fuses. The lies it told about the Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital event illustrate the war on truth that it conducts simultaneously with sadistic attacks on civilians.

This isn't revenge or ...Read more

This is not new, but that shouldn't diminish our outrage. On at least 24 occasions, the former president has accused critics of treason. Now Trump has upped the ante by including a ...Read more
Our Dangerous Narcissists
If you're like me, you've gotten a bellyful of AI analysis, speculation and dire warnings over the past few months. Alongside hopes of cancer cures, obedient home robots, personalized tutors, energy efficiency and wildlife preservation, we've heard from leaders in the field that AI will definitely ... kill us all. Soooo, that somewhat dims ...Read more
Stop Hid'n Biden
Our octogenarian president traveled 8,000 miles to meet with India's premier, Narendra Modi, and to attend the G20 summit in New Delhi. He then flew another 2,000 miles to visit America's new pal, Vietnam -- all over the course of just five days. That's a demanding trip, even for a younger person. After meeting for several hours with the general...Read more
