Crisis Brings Out the Best in Some, the Worst in Others
Besides the dedication of healthcare workers and ambulance volunteers across the country (and around the world), we have seen incredible generosity. And yet we see the opposite, as well, such as using the crisis for a political agenda.
Why This Night Is Different From All Other Nights
Understanding what a real Passover Seder is, even with coronavirus lurking outside.
Blame Trump
While COVID-19 was gaining steam in 2020, Nancy Pelosi was playing games with impeachment: “Will I walk it down to the Senate? Won’t I? If I do, I’ll bet you can’t guess when.” Finally, by the end of January she was handing out souvenir pens and putting Trump on trial. And COVID-19 was spreading. Blame Trump.
What Roe v. Wade and Pro-Choice Abortion Remind Us About Coronavirus
This article is not going where you think it is. As most of my American Spectator readers know, don’t even try to guess where this is going. Just come along for the ride.
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
