Jew Hatred on Campus
By Evelyn Markus

Last month was the one-year anniversary of the synagogue shooting at the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh. The number of incidents against Jews and Jewish targets in the U.S. reached 780 in just the first half of this year. At least a dozen white supremacists have been arrested for such shootings, plots and threats, including a white supremacist arrested in a thwarted synagogue attack in Colorado today.

Last weekend the University of Minnesota hosted the yearly conference of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). SJP has about 200 branches on university campuses throughout the United States and is affiliated with the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. SJP is known for its defamation of Israel and its intimidation and harassment of Israeli and Jewish students and speakers on campus. Why is an organization with this track record tolerated and even awarded by American universities? The answer lies in the fact that far left thinking is now dominating at American universities. In the Marxist way of thinking, the world consists of only two categories: the oppressed and their oppressors. The Palestinians are seen as the oppressed and Israel as the colonial oppressor. On top of this, Palestinians are seen as non-white and therefore as underprivileged, while Jews are categorized as white and privileged. [more...]

Democrat Politics of Entitlement
By Karen Kataline

The level of hubris of Democrat Presidential candidates is truly impressive. They have proclaimed their plans to ban or mandate everything from our lifestyles to our language and from our balance sheets to our bathroom habits. "Would you ban AR-15's or even forcibly confiscate them?" Yes! "Would you tax carbon emissions?" Yes! "Reparations?" Sure! In the midst of such arrogance, Democrats still claim they are victims. Elizabeth Warren was a poor pregnant Indian, and Cory Booker is a courageous but crucified Spartacus. Is that why they believe they are entitled to tell everyone else what to do and how to live?  Not exactly. It’s just part of the socialist playbook. [more...]


Fewer Democrats Would Mean Fewer Fires in California
By Lowell Ponte

Politicians are largely to blame for California going to blazes. California's politicians - the same ones who have turned Los Angeles and San Francisco into homeless encampments - are busy dismantling lakes dammed to create water storage. These politicians have long wanted to end Proposition 13 with its tight limits on how much they can tax property. What they have schemed up instead, starting in 2022, are water restrictions that punish using more than 55 gallons of water per day with fines of up to $5,000. This is a giant tax on property owners who have a lawn, garden, or swimming pool - a way to tax property because they cannot get voters to repeal Proposition 13.

The Source of the Media's Post-Truth Analysis
By Robert Curry

What has happened to the news? Not so long ago, the big voices in the media at least made some effort to maintain an appearance of objectivity. But it has been evident for some time that most people in the news business today have dispensed with all pretense of fairness. The advent of Barack Obama largely put an end to the pretense. His coming was too much for them to continue the charade. They sacrificed their claim to objectivity in order to pursue their love affair with Obama. And their hysterically negative coverage of Donald Trump is simply the reverse side of the same coin. The fake news people openly advocate progressivism and leftism. They attack anyone - especially Trump - who threatens the progressive Left’s project of "fundamentally transforming" America. [more...] Robert is the author of Reclaiming Common Sense.


California's Electric Power Grab
By James Hirsen

California currently lays claim to a record number of homeless people that are living in urban squalor, a string of diseases from the Dark Ages that have made a 21st century return, and a series of wildfires that are ravaging forests, businesses, and homes alike. Now comes the news that millions of people are having to live off the grid, after having been involuntarily unplugged, courtesy of the utility company. Gavin Newsom is the current Democratic governor of the state. He continues to advocate the same kinds of policies that placed California in the disastrous predicament in which it finds itself on so many fronts. In struggling to address the problematic multi-layered situation, Newsom recently made the decision to appoint an individual to look into the idea of the state actually taking over California’s major energy company, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).
