Those on the Front Lines Prefer McCain - and Here’s Why

With days to go till the election, it would be wise for patriotic and pro-Israel American voters to keep in mind that Americans-in-Israel prefer John McCain to Barack Obama by a margin of three-to-one. Israelis, too, would rather see McCain win. Unlike most of us in America, these people are on the front …

Fox News’s Sean Hannity Mentions JWR’s Reward Offer! Mac Finally Takes His Own Advice!

Kudos to the brilliant and intrepid Binyamin Jolkovsky, editor of Jewishworldreview.com and politicalmavens.com (two sites to which I proudly contribute) for offering a reward to whoever can produce a legitimate copy of the videotape the Los Angeles Times drew on for its story about Barack Obama feting former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi

Why Sarah Palin Ought to be a Feminist Heroine

An interesting element of liberals’ and the mainstream media’s reactions to Sarah Palin is the way they attack her for the very things–such as balancing a high-powered career and her obligations as a mother, daughter, and sister–that feminists usually champion.
