If this year of beheadings and ballistic missiles has taught us anything, it is that Islamic trash talk is real. American platitudes are mere sound bites.
Watching Pres. Biden debate former Pres. Trump was a master class in American mediocrity.
Amal Clooney, yes, wife of George, was one of the three “experts” that advised the ICC to equate Western democracy with Islamic terror.
Something has gone terribly wrong when kids, raised the world over on Sesame Street, have forsaken Bert and Ernie, and their colorful Muppet cohorts, for murderous jihadis far grouchier than Oscar.

No other nation, most especially the United States, has ever been held to such an exacting standard of precision while responding in self-defense.
It is safe to say this is more than enough legal jeopardy for a single human being to manage—especially one running for president. The campaign trail will be one long march of legal trials.
As if the atomic bomb and its potential to destroy the world wasn’t enough tension, Nolan introduces another Jewish character, Lewis Strauss—the opportunist to Oppenheimer’s moral idealist.
No one has ever made better use of bad publicity. The worse it gets, the more energized he seemingly becomes, and the more devotedly his base responds.
Okay, show of hands: Who doesn’t have classified documents in his or her garage or sock drawer?
How is it conceivable that of all people, Hitler and his Master Race delusions are receiving a pop-cultural renaissance?
Siding with terrorists over cartoonists is, to say the least, faulty moral judgment.
“New York, New York” is now a less “wonderful town,” and having a “New York State of Mind” will soon have less to do with longing than with possibly leaving.

The typecasting of Jews on the frontier puts the lie to the cushy, exploitative lives of privileged Jewish-Americans.
