As we bid the fireworks goodbye, I wanted to quickly blog something I feel guilty for not writing about sooner: the cruelty and viciousness of many in the media towards Sarah Palin and her family.
The media and blogosphere are exploding with speculation about Palin’s reasons for deciding to leave office midway through her first term …

Not to take anything away from our new President. But the remarks of a friend yesterday got me thinking. I asked this friend if he, as an African-American (in his case he was born in Africa and is now a U.S. citizen) felt moved by the election of the first …

Just had an interesting conversation with an international businessman about our President-elect.
Adam Ginsberg, author of “How to Buy, Sell and Profit on E-Bay,” conducts training seminars and sells software that helps people to create and market their own web sites and internet-based businesses.
He travels around the world, including to England, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia, …

If there’s one thing that makes me optimistic about our new President-elect, it is this: clearly Barack Obama is no loser.
The first black President of the Harvard Law Review, his rise to national prominence has been swift: three terms in the Illinois state Senate, undertaken while also teaching Constitutional law at the …

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 …

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.
According to the AP, Palin has charged the state of Alaska taxpayers over $20,000 for her …

Rereading Amir Taheri’s interview of Jesse Jackson that ran in Tuesday’s New York Post, I realize I may have fallen into a trap.
Yesterday I noted here on my blog that, while Jackson is not an official spokesperson for the Obama campaign, his speculation concerning Senator Obama’s plans for U.S. foreign policy and towards …

Granted, Jesse Jackson is not an official spokesman for the Obama campaign. But I don’t hear Obama repudiating the alarming statements Jackson has made in recent days concerning Barack Obama’s plans for U.S. foreign policy generally, and specifically with regard to Israel.
Last week at the First World Policy Conference in Evian, France, Jackson, who …

After tonight’s Presidential debate I called up my friend Thinking Man to get his take. Thinking Man is my E.F. Hutton, and given his extremely prescient advice to me in June, I am more inclined than ever to listen.
He didn’t make any predictions about the outcome of the election and tonight said only: “McCain …

Last night’s McCain/Obama debate was pretty much a draw, suspending any partisan sentiment. Obama was strong out of the starting gate; He is certainly smooth, and he knows how to play on people’s concerns on the sensitive economic front. But on foreign policy, McCain’s experience showed, and his character shone.
He …
