Against Michelle Wu’s Anti-Market Real Estate Proposal
“If Chairman Wu were in power when Henry Ford was ruining the blacksmith, horse training and saddle making industries, she would have taxed the latter and subsidized the former. How about when computers took out the typewriter, carbon paper, and correction fluid (Wite-Out) industries?”
Review: “In Defense of Civilization” by Michael R. J. Bonner
“Bonner has done a great service in reminding us what true civilization means, the cost of losing it, and how we can regain it.”
In Reply to Beckeld: What Is “the West” Nowadays?
“Where I may disagree most emphatically with Beckeld is in his idealization of the ‘West,’ which is supposedly currently at war with barbarous ‘non-Western enemies.’ From my perspective, much of what we see in the impassioned pro-Hamas protests represents where Western civilization has moved in the last hundred years or more.”

Urgently Reconsidering the Doctrine of Multiculturalism
“As is sadly often the case, it is only when an issue becomes overwhelmingly acute or when it is too late to correct course, that those once derided as alarmists are dutifully acknowledged to have been correct all along.”
The Media’s Blood Libel of Israel
“All of this could have been uncovered with measured reporting and a skepticism that avoids trusting the word of the baby-murdering terror group, Hamas.”
Black Lives Matter’s Shameful Response to the Attacks on Israel
“Meanwhile, the silence of companies such as Ben and Jerry’s that claim to support injustice is deafening. Clearly, when the issue of state-sponsored violence against the nation of Israel is in question, silence is an option…”
As the Violence Escalates, We Mustn’t Forget the Role of Iran
“The disturbing element here is not just the escalation but the advanced level of military precision demonstrated by Hamas—an unnerving signal that Iran’s influence is looming larger than ever.”
War in Israel, War in the West
“This is not Israel’s 9/11. It is not even Israel’s Pearl Harbor. It is worse by an order of magnitude. The closest parallel is the Rape of Nanking.”
Iran Invades Israel Through Hamas
