Soft bigotry doesn’t make you morally superior

I support Israel, but there are times when Israelis make me think that it’s a wasted effort. Specifically, I despise the Israeli penchant for national displays of histrionic self-loathing. The current reason to scream and rend one’s garments is because an IDF soldier shot to death a wounded Palestinian terrorist. All the Israelis wailing about…

Heterodox thinking made victory possible

I never fit in. It didn’t bother me very much, but my heterodox way of looking at things made life more difficult than it should’ve been. There were times when I wished I could be a magnificent blockhead, marching in lockstep with my peers. Well, I’ve been purged forever of even the slightest wistfulness over…

Miniature missiles are being used to kill terrorists

If you follow the Yemen and Syria wars, you’re aware that a gigantic number of Syrian, Iranian, Hezbollah, Houthi, al-Qaeda, Islamic State, jihadist, and Russian commanders have been killed. It was a mystery to me, since all of these men were heavily guarded. Now we have a video that shows one weapon that Arab and…

Blather, symbolism, weakness, denial, and irresponsibility

What’s the main response to the Islamic State bombings in Brussels, Belgium, that killed 31? Blather. Some of it is astonishing. This neatly illustrates the collapse of western culture. A hashtag—#StopIslam—is worse than this. A steel bolt embedded in a person’s body. The terrorists at Zaventem International Airport put bolts in their suitcase bombs. Someone…

Wealth has never made a nation free

President Obama has visited Cuba. His trip was a giant waste of time, because there’s no relationship between wealth and freedom. In fact recent history shows that when repressive societies become wealthier, they become less free. This photo is the perfect allegorical comment on President Obama’s visit to Cuba. The doddering, blood-stained dictator Raul Castro…

Mayhem as pigs and robots deployed to stop Trump

Fountain Hills, Arizona—Maricopa Country Sheriff Joe Arpaio was taken completely by surprise yesterday when pig-human hybrids and robots with stupendous breasts blocked Shea Boulevard in an attempt to prevent thought-criminals from access to the ravings of satanic world-destroyer and Republican presidential candidate Donald J.

Negativity guarantees that you will lose

If you want to win a war, you can’t depend only on weapons, technology, training, skill, tactics, and strategies. You also have to be optimistic. Nothing will defeat you more quickly than your own negativity. This applies to life in general, of course. Not just the battlefield. Negativity is suicidal The unavoidable fate of military…

Cutting the Gordian knot of Syria is beyond OUR power

The Gordian knot is a legend from antiquity used to symbolize what seems like an insoluble program. Gordias the peasant was made king of the Phrygians; his son Midas dedicated Gordias’s ox-cart to the Phrygian god Sabazios and tied it to a post with an intricate knot of cornel bark. In 333 BCE, Alexander the…
