The Biden-Witkoff surrender to terrorists deal gets worse. When Steve Witkoff, who finagled a spot at Trump’s Middle East Envoy came in, he revived the Biden disastrous surrender to terrorism on the same terrible terms that Israel had previously rejected. That included not only trading large numbers of horrifying killers, including the murderers of Americans […]
Trump and Israel: Curb Your Enthusiasm?
Mitchell Bard recognizes that in his first term, President Trump did many good things for Israel. He moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem. He recognized the Golan Heights as a permanent part of Israel. He shut down the PLO office in Washington. He slashed aid to the Palestinian Authority. But about Trump’s second term, Bard […]
Trump is a Work in Progress on Israel and the ‘Palestinians’
Trump is a work in progress on Israel and the “Palestinians.” In his first term, he performed admirably. He moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem. He closed down the PLO office in Washington. He recognized Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights. And he has shown by his appointment of such pro-Israel stalwarts as Marco Rubio […]
Vance ‘heartbroken’ over US Conference of Catholic Bishops condemnation of Trump over illegal immigration
There’s good reason for JD Vance to be “heartbroken” over the left-leaning U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. It isn’t about faith and righteousness for them. Their support for illegal immigration is all about the gravy train, as Robert Spencer wrote in 2021: The bishops, of course, have 91 million reasons — indeed, 534 million reasons […]
Trump freezes foreign aid except to Israel and Egypt
Charity begins at home. The America First mandate that helped Trump get re-elected is based on that premise. Every politician is responsible for putting his or her citizens first, but for most, that isn’t the case. America also needs to assess any misuse of its funds across the board by state actors that work contrary […]

Trump re-designates Houthis as ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’
The Biden administration removed the Houthi terrorist designation in 2021, and then partially reapplied the designation as “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” (SDGT) last year, due to the Houthis terrorist activities in the Red Sea. Biden claimed that he removed the designation for the sake of humanitarianism: The Houthis remain in control of much of western Yemen […]
Israeli Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Program
Not imminent, but “soon.” The die, we are told, is cast. That’s according to a senior European diplomat. What is not known is if Donald Trump will provide the large, 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs that would allow Israel to destroy the underground nuclear facility — a uranium enrichment plant — at Natanz and the facility […]
