http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/NK27Dj02.html It is symptomatic of the national condition of the United States that the worst humiliation ever suffered by it as a nation, and by a US president personally, passed almost without comment last week. I refer to the November 20 announcement at a summit meeting in Phnom Penh that 15 Asian nations, comprising half […]
http://www.prudenpolitics.com/newsletter?utm_source=P&P%20Auto%201&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5308 Politics is not a game that comes naturally to Republicans. Little boys in Republican families usually want a briefcase, not a baseball glove, a football or a boxing glove for their sixth birthday. Ronald Reagan, the modern Republican icon, was a Democrat first, after all. The giants of Congress when Congress was respected – […]

Sometimes, I visit a museum or see a movie. I read two or three books and several manuscripts every week and about one hundred articles and many hundreds of emails every day. I read […]
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com The diplomatic hosannas for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi following his brokering of the recent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel were still being heard even as the former head of the Muslim Brotherhood started behaving like a pharaoh. Morsi “temporarily” seized new powers that, among other things, forbid judicial review of his policies. What ought […]
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/gaffney112712.php3 | During the so-called “Arab Spring,” the Obama administration insisted that the United States risked being on the “wrong side of history” if it remained aligned with secular despots like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak. Recent events have made it clear there is a wrong side for freedom in the Middle East and, thanks to Team […]
http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=293540 If Israel is seriously committed to its own long-term survival as a sovereign nation in this part of the world, it must try a different approach. With the decision makers in Jerusalem agreeing to a cease-fire just one week after finally giving the green light for a military response to the unbearable daily rocket […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/davidhornik/egypt-erupts-as-morsi-seizes-powers/ Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi can at least get a prize for brazenness. Just last Wednesday he was being praised by the Obama administration for his “practical” role in working out a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “This was somebody focused on solving problems,” a “senior administration official” admiringly told the New York Times. The […]
