Spring Beauty Paints Israel’s Landscape
Dateline Jerusalem — Springtime in Israel is a glorious time of year. I wake up in the morning to birds chirping, a perfect blue sky and a variety of palm trees, exotic ferns. Kumquats and colorful blooming trees and flowers are outside my apartment windows. They reflect the beauty of Israel as a people and as a nation. Israelis have … Read More
Couple Questions Before O’Reilly Firing
Before confronting the firing of Bill O’Reilly, let’s talk manipulation by the whores at the heart of liberal media. How ironic that in the same edition the Los Angeles Times – speaking of whores – gleefully celebrated – rather than reported — the uncoupling of the Fox News star, the newspaper flashed its whore card in vivid colors. As left-wing … Read More
Learning a New Way to Cook
I suppose one perk that comes with a low carb diet is the ability to eat more meat. I have largely eschewed red meat, primarily because of its cholesterol content.

What Is the Meaning of This Apology?
I would like to apologize for the group of Jesuit priests who apologized for Georgetown University, one of the stars of the radical left universe.

Limbaugh: ‘You Quit or I Will Fire You’
Fourth in a series Re “Learning How to Interview the Right Way” When we left the first-year president of West Los Angeles College a month ago, he was candidly talking about the first time he interviewed, disastrously, to be the chief executive of a college. “I should have known the campus better,” said Dr. James Limbaugh, whose story did … Read More
Menachem Sits, Waits, Prays for His Sight
Second of two parts Re “His World Went Dark Overnight” Menachem Green, at 32, was so active that, to his close family, he sometimes seemed to be in at least two places simultaneously. In addition to his day job at Western Kosher, he regularly bounced between the Pico-Robertson homes of his grandparents and his parents. Mr. Green, an Orthodox … Read More
