Hillary's allies now say the Russians gave the election to Trump. Absurd, of course, but they never sought to prove any of it. Instead they focused, childlike, on who rather than what, part of their campaign against reality.

It has been just over a month since Donald J. Trump pulled off a win in what was to some the most unlikely win and to...

Accept no lesser plea

No Lesser Plea, by Robert K. Tanenbaum, first came out in 1987 from Franklin Watts Publishing. Now Amazon.com has re-issued it in its Kindle store.

Donald Trump accepting the 2016 Republican nomination. A vote for him was a vote for freedom. He owes his victory to the electoral college. He also now leads the armies of freedom in their war against the socialists. But he needs to learn now: the other side are playing without rules. His latest stand against illegal immigration further illustrates the problem. More recently: Trump should bury the DACA order and leave it buried.

Electoral College: stroke of statecraft

“We too [in Israel] need an electoral college,” says Avi Berkowitz (Jerusalem Post December 11, 2016).

Flawed policies come from a flawed election system of proportional representation and endless coalition government. Israel turns out to be a democratically elected despotism. In fact its policies cast doubt on whether Israel is a Jewish State or not. A Prime Minister who changes this system can become truly great. But it means ditching Israel's democratic reputation. The Likud Party make it worse when, dependent on Arab votes, they let insurrection slide.

Statesman v. politician

Perhaps it’s just a tall tale, but President Harry Truman reputedly said that a statesman is nothing but a dead politician. As is well known, however, Harry...

Hillary Clinton. Historic first? Be careful what you wish for. And stay out of Hillary’s handbasket, if you can. Contrast her with Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton and the ship of state

“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.” Thomas Jefferson was correct. And Hillary Clinton proves it.

Seal of the Islamic State, the face of Islam today. Islam is not religion but politics pretending to be religion. This is the secret of Islamic imperialism. Is Obama their secret ally, fostering Muslim sedition? This is why we need security. And mere word-mongers and pussy cats cannot fight this effectively.

Islamic imperialism: challenge of the century

Wrap fish withal! (Does the CIA run this show?) That's what The Washington Post, CNN, and most other Mainstream Media are good for. An empire of lies. And they dare call the rest of us fake news. They can't even cover disasters, like tornadoes, without discriminating among their victims. Worse, the news media are attempting a coup against the rest of us with their lies.

Netanyahu, Israeli media, and omissions

Martin Sherman has written a provocative article which appeared in Arutz-7 on November 25, 2016. The article bears the title “Benjamin Netanyahu – A synopsis: The...

The Constitution, which sets forth the principle of rule of law, defines what is unconstitutional, and guarantees freedom of speech and other liberties of a Constitutional republic, and also describes the impeachment power. (How many know of the Jewish roots of this document?) Hypocrisy threatens Constitutional government. Could Israel use a constitution like this? More to the point: would a Convention of States save it, or destroy it? (Example: civil asset forfeiture violates the Constitution.) Quick fixes like Regulation Freedom Amendments weaken it. Furthermore: the Constitution provides for removing, and punishing, a judge who commits treason in his rulings. Furthermore, opponents who engage in lawfare against an elected President risk breaking the Constitution.
