Created to fight Marxist subversion, it became a slush fund for Marxist cadre-building. “The strategy is to delay, postpone, obfuscate, derail.” That was the U.S. Agency for International Development’s approach to protect its autonomy from the president. It had nothing to do with resisting Donald Trump and DOGE—this line was written three decades ago to […]
One of the FBI’s sacred traditions is that it always must run itself, regardless of who the president appoints as director. Its second-in-command must always be an insider product of the apparat itself. That’s why the FBI loved Christopher Wray, because it ran him like an op. President Trump broke that tradition by appointing Dan […]

Transitions of presidential administrations are tricky, and all the more so when, as from Biden to Trump, control is passing from one political party to another. There is much change, and there is much effort to avoid change. From my experience in previous transitions, this is especially true for transitions that pass from a left-leaning […]

Every time a jihadist terror attack takes place in America, it seems as though we’ve forgotten everything we have learned. We turn on our televisions and we hear the same set of circumstances being relayed to us, time after time. Pundits and media talking heads act surprised at each element of the terror plot is […]
Louisiana, our life-long home, reels from a terrorist attack that murdered at least 15 innocent people, injured several dozen others, and postponed the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl. Acts of terror have once again left carnage within the borders of America. Shamsud Din Jabbar ramming a truck through a crowd of New […]
POLICY RECOMMENDATION: Appoint transformational, action-oriented people to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB), a strategic planning and oversight mechanism for the president to take control of the intelligence community. Hybridize PIAB along the lines of DOGE, so that board members, as private citizens, can work PIAB full-time. Include lesser-known specialists in addition to well-known figures. REASON: As part of the […]

Perhaps the only disappointment for those of us elated with the outcome of this month’s presidential election was the muted, downcast response from the Left at Donald Trump’s massive victory. We’d expected angry riots from purple-haired Antifa goons; emotive demonstrations of impotent and self-righteous defiance by Handmaid’s Tale cosplayers; and, maybe best of all, delicious cable news […]
A rejuvenated, for-real President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) will help President Trump and his team stay focused on digging out the inefficiency and rot inside our intelligence community (IC), and rebuilding the IC to become the envy of the world. It will help build an IC that serves, and doesn’t abuse, American citizens. For decades, the PIAB […]
As President Trump prepares for his second term, one crucial question on people’s minds will be if he can successfully achieve his policy objectives. Chief among those goals will be securing the border and effectively enforcing immigration law (read: deportations). He must also tackle violent crime, drug and human trafficking, and foreign criminal gangs, consequences […]
A collective sigh of relief was heard across Israel as the results of the U.S. presidential election were declared. But we cannot rest on our laurels. At this critical juncture, Israel must carefully assess the challenges it faces in the immediate term, as the lame-duck Biden administration completes its term. And it must set goals […]
Overall, based on very initial knowledge and limited information, I would conclude the following results of Israeli three-wave strike on the night of October 26. On the positive side, the results were partly strategic but mostly a tactical. Israel: Finally broke the aura of Iranian invincibility. It dispelled the 30- obsession in the west that […]
