On Wednesday, the Biden administration vetoed a UN Security Council resolution designed to save the terrorist organization known as Hamas from utter – and possibly imminent – destruction at the hands of Israel. The Jewish State was thereby spared the strategic disaster of having to agree to an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaz…

Last week, after Joe Biden met with Chinese Communist Emperor Xi Jinping, he ok’d Ukraine’s use of U.S.-supplied missiles to attack deep inside Russia. Why would Biden take this provocative – and potentially dangerously escalator – step now, having refused Ukrainian requests for the requisite permission for many months? One explanation is counter-i…

The UN Security Council is poised to cause real and lasting harm to Israel. Will Team Biden enable that to happen? An impending, binding resolution would impose on Israel an "immediate, unconditional, and permanent cease-fire" in Gaza. It would enable Hamas to survive and, effectively, to win the war it murderously launched on October 7th last year…

Sarah Parshall Perry, Senior Legal Fellow at Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies I spoke at length with Sarah Perry about the cultural values in our country, the assault that they are under from Marxists, and the implications that that assault has, not just for the health and viability of our society and our people, of course, but…

In two weeks, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about a Tennessee law that protects children in that state from the physical mutilation and psychological trauma associated with so-called “gender-affirming care.” To its eternal shame, the Biden administration has sided with parents who support such child abuse. Providentially, however, one …

The professed commitment of the Biden-Harris administration to “democracy” always rang hollow. Notably, the total votes garnered by the Harris-Walz ticket roughly equaling the Democrats’ tallies in all recent presidential elections except for 2020’s suggests Biden’s victory that year was stolen, not free and fair. Now, after Donald Trump’s recent p…

Chaim Rutenberg grew up in Muncie, New York, a follower of his heart from a very young age. He always tried to do the right thing, but not necessarily in a manner that his family and community expected. So when he heard a talk by Yaakov “Ketzaleh” Katz in Muncie, and Ketzaleh didn’t ask for money, but instead asked for Aliyah, Chaim was touched. An…

Dr. Michael Tobin grew up on Long Island, in New York, a big baseball fan who looked up to Willie Mays more than anyone else. Suffice it to say, Israel was not on his radar screen at all. But Jewish and Israel-focused messages were reaching him whether he liked it or not (Wait until you hear about his 20-mile run on Yom Kippur in the 70s), and thin…

Josh Wander grew up outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a suburb called McKeesport. He grew up in a pretty seriously Zionistic home – as Zionism was defined back then – and the more Torah he learned, the more he felt pulled to Israel. Josh has led a colorful life that even included a run as candidate for Mayor of Pittsburgh – even as he was sure h…

Ari Singer grew up in Manhattan, New York, a child of two Holocaust survivors - whose stories are amazing in their own right. While his upbringing in New York was going fine - he was a student at Manhattan Day School - his parents decided to end their family's exile in 1973, and Ari, then 13, made the big move to a 25-year old country that was just…

Gordon Chang, Contributor, Gatestone Institute I had a fascinating conversation with Gordon Chang about the relative quiet that is now in evidence after the election of Donald Trump in the Western Pacific, whether it is likely to persist, whether it suggests that the Chinese leadership is so beset by problems at home that it is unwilling to risk co…

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The selection by Donald Trump of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be the Health and Human Services Secretary powerfully reinforces our next president’s stated determination to reject efforts to compound the damage done to our people and medical freedoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the advice of th…

A.J. Rice Author of "The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine Peoples" I spoke with A.J. Rice about one of the most toxic manifestations of cultural Marxism in the United States, namely the effort to divide us along racial lines and otherwise foster animosity between people of various racial groups. Clearly a feature of cultu…

A laudable hallmark of Donald Trump’s first presidency was “Promises made, promises kept.” With his selection of my friend, Pete Hegseth, to be the next Secretary of Defense, he seems set to deliver on one of his most important pledges in the 2024 campaign. Think of it as “Make America’s Military Great Again.” While Pete is best known as a popular …

Senate Republicans will vote today to select their chamber’s next leader.

President-elect Trump has begun putting into place his Cabinet and a common denominator is that the emerging national security team shares his longstanding conviction that the Chinese Communist Party is not a competitor.

Today a grateful nation honors the service of its military veterans. While they all deserve our appreciation, I want to pay special tribute to some of our most unsung heroes.

Gary Epstein grew up in a strongly Jewish and Torah-observant home, but – as he says – Aliyah was nowhere near the forefront of his mind for many, many years. In the early 2000s, he saw that perhaps the Israeli business world could use the help of his law firm, so he began spending more time in Israel. And Aliyah was still not on his radar screen. …

What happens when a commemoration of an event from thousands of years ago suddenly acquires new and immediate relevance? That was the experience of many Jews in Israel when they fasted last week on the 17th of Tammuz - the day that the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem about 1950 years ago. Of course, after October 7th, "breaching the walls" h…
