Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, briefed Christian supporters of the Jewish state this morning. He told a hushed audience crowded into his embassy's Jerusalem Auditorium of a recent visit by U.S. intelligence specialists. They had asked Dr. Oren the historian to compare Israel's situation today with other...

Columnist Charles Krauthammer calls the ceremonial interment of the space shuttle Discovery an act of "willed American decline." He's certainly right about that. It is an historic retreat for America.

It was under John F. Kennedy, a liberal Democrat, that America was summoned to greatness....

Secretary Hillary Clinton was at the Naval Academy recently. She went there to deliver a prestigious Forrestal Lecture. And she was well received by the 4,000 Midshipmen and hundreds of students attending the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference.

One Midshipman asked Sec. Clinton about the...

In Washington this week, a rare drama is unfolding in the U.S. Supreme Court. The momentous question that is before the court is this: Shall we be Citizens or Subjects?

The high court is considering a historic challenge by twenty-six states to the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare....

The idea behind economic sanctions is simple: If you deprive the people in a warlike country of enough "stuff," they're rational actors and they'll stop their aggression. Or at least make their leaders stop. The only problem with this theory is that it doesn't work.

President Obama...

Secretary Hillary Clinton took to the air yesterday to boast of the "toughest sanctions" yet imposed by the international community on Iran. Recall, this administration came to office three years ago offering olive branches to the mullahs who rule Iran. President Obama even sent Persian New Year greetings to the...

President Obama responded calmly and masterfully to a heckler at one of his New York fundraisers this week. "Hold on there, young lady, nobody's announced a war just yet," he said. The protester demanded the U.S. not take military action against the escalating threat of Iran's nuclear arms...

President Obama began badly. He went to London and bowed low before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The famous red "reset" button he had Hillary present to the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, was intended to give Moscow a pass for its aggression against the neighboring Republic of Georgia. The...

Politico is a journal subscribed to by none but political junkies, and most of those are liberal. So, when this serious publication starts talking about a brokered convention for the GOP in Tampa next August, beware!

General Dwight D. Eisenhower won a first-ballot nomination in 1952. But there...

They said it would never lead to rationing. But rationing is already here. Under the latest assault by the Obama administration, they are rationing our rights. Tens of millions of Catholics -- and tens of millions of the rest of us -- are having our religious liberty crushed by the...

Informed in 1960 that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Senior would be voting for the Protestant Richard Nixon, Sen. Jack Kennedy smiled and said: "We all have fathers." It was typical of his wit and grace. Kennedy's own father was a notorious anti-Semite and appeaser. Young Jack would never repudiate...

It was good to see President Obama link his Osawatomie Speech to Kansas history. Some commentators said Mr. Obama was "channeling Roosevelts." Especially, Theodore. It delighted some that Mr. Obama donned the mantle of the Republican Roosevelt.

Obama quoted from TR's 1910 speech at Osawatomie. It was...

Over the weekend, Metropolitan Police removed Occupy DC protesters from "a barn-like structure" a few blocks from the White House. More than thirty arrests were made, including one young man who was charged with indecent exposure for urinating from the roof.

Occupy DC protesters have...

Writer and thinker George Gilder has challenged Americans throughout his career. His book Wealth and Poverty ought to be required reading at the White House, but isn't. There's no indication from the disastrous policies pursued by this administration that anyone there has ever read this important work. (We might suggest...

The whole world was watching, and listening. The leaders of the G20 nations gathered in Cannes, France, for another of those endless schmooze fests we now call summits, Presidents Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy were caught on tape telling us what they really think of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu....

When Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is not berating Canadians in Ottawa for not pushing abortions in Africa, when she's not celebrating gay pride in Rome with Lady Gaga, when she's not counting Jews in Jerusalem, nagging Israelis about building homes for their people in their own capital, what does...

Reuters' Paul Chapman has filed a report from Tunis. There have been elections there, less than one year after an uprising ousted dictator Zine al Abidine Ben Ali. The former Tunisian strongman is said to be enjoying his retirement in Saudi Arabia. There, Ben Ali doubtless has seen...

"We came. We saw. He died." Could there be a more grotesque scene? U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is shown on camera cackling over the mob riot in Sirte that resulted in the death of longtime Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. It's not even Halloween yet, but Hillary...

Al-Ahram is an Egyptian newspaper. It reported last week on the killing of 36 Coptic Christian demonstrators in Cairo.

Millions of us have seen the pictures on our television screens of armored personnel carriers plowing into unarmed protestors, mowing them down. Those vehicles, and their...

The news last week offered us a wonderfully satirical view of Russia. Headlines tell us that Russian Premier Vladimir Putin will once again "run" for President of the Russian Republic. Now, this is being reported as if he really has to run for the office. And it seems that the...
