I remember quite vividly the day, the very moment, I realized I was not Jewish. Okay, okay. I get how not-quite-bright that sounds. As I was raised and remain Catholic, born of an Irish-American mother and an Italian-American father, you will be forgiven for thinking “a bit slow on the uptake is o...

My oldest (in the sense of long-established, not decrepit) and smartest friend objects passionately to my parodic adoption of the woke term “white” to describe “our” tribe: the productive, responsible, law-abiding, self-disciplined, future-oriented peoples of the earth, however dusky or undy...

Bizarre is the notion that after booting Hamas (in organized form) from Gaza Israel should accept any responsibility for governing the area. Governing brings obligations, including providing for the welfare of the governed. Gaza will remain enemy territory; Israel’s only relationship to that terri...

I came out of my extremely brief service in the Reagan White House with one really good story. I worked for the White House Outreach Group on Central America doing public advocacy for the fight against the commies in El Salvador and Nicaragua. I sat next to Ollie North in meetings. (He did not share...

Another one stolen from Gilder's Guideposts which George Gilder and I do together.

I would guess above 90 percent of our regular readers are also regular readers of other conservative social media. Perhaps a quarter of you are contributors, some of you in large and important ways, to that media. That makes you a pretty good group to spearhead a campaign deeply important for our co...

I rarely republish a post but there were a bunch of errors and 300 too many words in the original.

Republicans and Democrats share not merely failure but inability to lead on Ukraine. Neither can afford to do the first thing required: explain why we are engaged and why we can no longer afford to lose. With our leaders unable to offer reason to carry on, American support for Ukraine dwindles towar...

As an instrument of policy, war is a disaster. War is chaos and confusion. However strenuously rationalized as strategic it negates any coherent strategy. The imperious requirements of victory narrow freedom of action to a choice among evils. War invites corruption and subversion and demagoguery and...

“Doubts Arise on Growth-Inflation Link.” The Wall Street Journal headline caught our attention not because it was news, but because it was 40 years out of date. It was way back in the 1980s that Ronald Reagan smashed for all time the Phillips Curve myth that too many people working causes inflat...

Times being what they are, I have started reading the Jerusalem Post. I don’t know enough about Israeli media to know if the Post is the best on offer, but it certainly is colorful as in this great story about the winningest ever Jewish women’s basketball coach at a Catholic college. Sounds like...

I have long admired my Jewish friends for, among other things, being so good at something at which I am no good at all: handling money, in particular their personal financial affairs. (Yes, yes, I am generalizing, which is wrong and bigoted when speaking of individuals, but exactly right when…spea...

I confess that for some years it remained a mystery to me why the global left was so anti-Israeli and especially so pro-Palestinian. In time it came to make perfect sense. It’s all down to the materialist superstition, the worship of material things—land, “resources”, factories, machines—a...

A smart, well-educated, friend of mine, about my age, so in grammar school during 1967’s Six Day War, did not know or had not remembered that Gaza is actually Egyptian territory. He had forgotten that it had been used by Egypt as a base when Egypt in June of that year mobilized 100,000 soldiers an...

The WSJ last week told a story about the Ukraine war that was interesting until it became heartbreaking. The story was about the armed drone aircraft now being used by both sides in the war. Drones costing anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars and armed with explosive payloads are de...

Chiang Kai-Shek was corrupt. Unworthy of our support. The commies got China. Battista was corrupt. Unworthy of our support. The commies got Cuba. Ngo Diem and then a succession of South Vietnamese leaders were corrupt. Unworthy of our support. The commies got Vietnam.
