Lessons of the Lockdown
If we wait for every perfect situation, we will always have an excuse and never operate at our fullest. Hillel instructs us that there is never an ideal moment until which we can delay learning (at our best); now is always the time to learn to our potential.
A Time to Hate
Amid my speeches and writings throughout the Wasted Obama Decade, I never published a piece aimed at bringing down Obama before his term was up. He won. Although he is despicable beyond words, the rules of our game, as set forth in our precious Constitution, made him our president.
Your Religion or Your Business!
Activists are no longer pursuing “gay rights,” but trying to push religious people to compromise their religious principles or give up their business.

Gantz had no choice
Blue and White leader’s decision to join PM Netanyahu and form a unity government was not a political betrayal. His act was not that of a once-in-a-generation patriot who gives up everything for his land and his people.
We’ll Get Through This, and Massie’s Massive Mistake
How do we get through the Coronavirus? A nurse gave very simple advice: “act like you have it.” Do everything you possibly can to not share your germs with others, because in so doing you will improve your own chances of not getting it if you don’t.
Planning Three Steps Ahead: On the Need and a Plan to Divorce From China
China Virus 19 has brought home to more Americans than ever before that we absolutely have to divorce from China. We can agree to share custody of the kids, holiday visitation arrangements, even alimony. But the child support has to stop as soon as possible.
