Fighting ISIS Plays into ISIS Hands: Seriously?
NOTE: This article appeared in Frontpage Magazine on March 28, 2016 If you’re keeping score, freeing Islamic terrorists from Gitmo does not play into the hands of ISIS.

Obama Doctrine vs. Putin Doctrine
For 8 years I have been saying that Obama hates America, the land that, supposedly, gave him birth. From childhood on he was steeped in Leftist propaganda. He is in truth the ultimate “red diaper baby”. But, at least he has an excuse. He was born to a Communist mother. He was brought up during…

The New [Israeli] Government’s War on BDS
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government is less than a month old, but it’s already apparent that it is different from its predecessors. And if it continues on its current diplomatic trajectory, it may do something that its six predecessors failed to accomplish. Netanyahu’s new government may improve Israel’s position internationally. The stakes are high….
