This Time It Is Personal — for Us
“America First” is an honorable slogan; America’s traditional culture, values, and history are precious.
Secular Jews claim they don’t exist to spite the president
Leftist Jews are willing to abandon the idea that the Jews are a people, simply because they believe that the president acknowledged that we are. But so does the Bible.
I Cannot Believe That the Moderate Democrats From Trump Districts Are Voting for Impeachment
I cannot believe that the moderate Democrats from Trump districts are voting for impeachment. I am dumbstruck. You mean, they lied? To us? But how can that be?
When Fake News Harms the Jews
Succinctly put, President Trump last week made one of the most positive moves to combat anti-Semitism ever seen from a world leader. Media outlets such as The New York Times are doing tremendous harm to Jewish students on campus — and to simple fairness, to boot.
How Today’s American College Experience Imperils All Efforts Invested by Modern Orthodox Parents

What Obama Judges? Oh, THOSE Obama Judges!
Part One: Background on how our underlying system was supposed to work before it was corrupted and perverted.
Secular Jews Claim They Don’t Exist To Spite The President
One who claims the Jews are not a nationality demonstrates complete ignorance of the Bible and Jewish history. Seriously, this is embarrassing. Do they think an affinity for bagels makes a person an authority on Jews?
When Devout Catholics Grimaced Over Pelosi’s ‘As a Catholic’ Hypocrisy
Which part of her devout “as a Catholic” devotion leads Nancy Pelosi to be a leader in promoting abortions, gay marriage, and the Obama–Democrat agenda she shepherded? Where was this “as a Catholic” when the Little Sisters of the Poor were fighting their way to the Supreme Court of the United States, seeking SCOTUS protection in Zubik v.
