Make Deals, Not War!

On Christmas Day, President Trump announced that U.S. warships off the coast of Africa had launched air strikes against ISIS targets in northern Nigeria. That certainly took the world by surprise. Two months ago, President Trump threatened to conduct military operations in Nigeria to protect Christians facing an “existential threat” and nobody believed him. And […]

Ban the Brotherhood!

The movement to ban the Muslim Brotherhood and its front organizations here in the United States is finally coming to a head, after years of false steps and misinformation about the Brotherhood and its goals. The late Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the Brotherhood’s leading strategists, made it very clear in a speech he gave in […]

The Trump Doctrine

They’re calling it the “Trump Doctrine.” It’s the national security “pivot” from regions far-far away, to taking care of business right here in our own backyard. As I mention in my podcast with Prophecy Today, this document setting out America’s national securities priorities and how to accomplish them is written in Trump’s own very distinctive […]

Putin is Out of the Box

If you thought Putin had been marginalized by the US and Europe because of the Ukraine war, think again. The Europeans have done a lot of huffing and puffing. And President Trump has sent Ukraine powerful offensive missiles. But we haven’t succeeded in blowing Putin’s house down. Far from it. This week, Putin once again […]

The Leaks Begin

It’s a bit amusing to listen to the fake news media speculate that Trump is somehow “losing it” and in “cognitive decline.” Here is a president who not only masters all the tools of our national government, but has deployed them to achieve his policy goals in ways no president in modern history has ever done. […]

Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan, MBS, and More

It was a big week for US national interests, and another reminder of what a difference having a strong president makes. On Wednesday, President Trump gave Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) the red carpet treatment at the White House, first with a joint press conference, and later with a lavish all-but-state dinner. The […]

The Trump-Xi Summit

Trump’s summit with his Chinese counterpart was a huge success — much bigger than what you will hear in the media. For starters, Xi came to Trump — in South Korea. Yes, that’s the same South Korea that Chinese Communist troops invaded in October 1950 and occupied for nearly three years. Next, Xi gave Trump […]

The China Watchers Were Wrong

The China watchers were all wrong. Some had predicted that President Xi would be ousted from power at this week’s Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party, based on the recent purge of Xi’s top ally on the Central Military Commission, the Party organ that controls the People’s Liberation Army, the PLA. Instead, Xi emerged victorious […]

The Worms in the Apple

Am I skeptical about the Gaza Peace plan? Of course. No one should have confidence that a genocidal terrorist group will keep its commitments. This said, it’s also important, as Trump reminded Netanyahu at the White House, to know when to say Yes. It’s the politician’s old trick: don’t answer the question that was asked, […]

An Anniversary of Infamy — October 7th

Here we are, two years after the October 7 genocidal attacks on Israel. If ever there was an anniversary of infamy, this is it. The world has changed in many ways over these past two years, especially inside Israel. Gone are those on the left and even the center who believed it was still possible […]

Trump’s Big Reveal at the UN

If you missed President Trump’s speech at the UN this week, you have to go back and watch it. You will find the video on the White House website, and I guarantee you, you won’t be bored. He roasted the Euros for their serial hypocrisy: claiming to support free speech while jailing citizens for politically incorrect […]

Syria Comes To The United Nations

Syria’s new president Ahmad al-Sharaa is coming to the United Nations in New York next week, at the same time as French President Macron hopes to convince the world to declare Palestinian statehood. The contrast between the two is striking. It’s where French smoke and mirrors will get a Middle East reality check. Sources close […]

Putin Pushes The Limits

Just when you thought the Ukraine war couldn’t get much worse, Putin this week sent 19 drones into Poland in an apparent test of NATO’s resolve. The Poles immediately invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. This is not Article 5, the mutual defense clause, but a call for consultations and analysis. In another […]
