Yesterday Sulaiman Ahmed and I discussed the widening war in the Middle East or West Asia as the area is now called. Washington and Israel have the Muslims allied against one another and in combat against one another as Washington and Israel prepare to renew their attack on Iran. Washington is in the process of...

You don’t need a morgue, a name, a death certificate or a human rights group. You need a microphone and a rally. Let me walk you through it, because the trend line is breathtaking. The Trump...

I didn’t think that Vivek Ramascammer could go any lower. But I was wrong. On Monday, October 19, Ohio political blogger D. J. Byrnes publicized a political ad (available here) in which Amy Acton’s mother, Donna Arthur, says “It’s not easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has a serious problem. She is...
