Since 1989, October has been recognized as Italian American Heritage and Culture Month in the U.S., stemming from a proclamation issued by President George Bush. The month was established to “celebrate the rich ethnic heritage of Italian-Americans and the many contributions they have made to American culture.” Yet, despite this tradition, now in its fourth […]
The term “antisemitism” is anesthetized, imprecise, and historically obtuse jargon that is meant to obscure evil beliefs. Regrettably, I’ve been using the term to describe hatred toward Jews for decades. For one thing, the term was coined by Jew-baiting German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to give the age-old bigotry a modern pseudoscientific framing. Outbursts […]
Federal rules and regulations cost the U.S. economy more than $3 trillion each year and dictate nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives — from the food they can eat to the types of cars they can drive.

President Donald Trump makes Democrats behave unreasonably and fly into overblown rhetoric. That talent, if it can be called such, has been on display since Trump’s decision and fast action to knock down the East Wing of the White House and build a modern ballroom in its place. Former first lady Hillary Clinton accused Trump […]
The Democratic Socialists of America just wrapped up a Hajj to their Mecca: Havana, a city so buried in detritus after decades of communism that it’s a wonder why any politician would want to be associated with it. Comparing photos of the Cuban capital today with those from the 1950s is an anti-socialist campaign ad that writes […]
MASSOUDIEH, LEBANON — The United Nations is like a Hollywood starlet without make-up. From afar, the aura overshines any blemish.
