State of the world more threatening than Biden understands

March 13, 2024  •  The Washington Times

The U.S. Constitution mandates that the president "shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union." The information that President Biden conveyed last week failed to convey the hard fact that the Union is now seriously threatened by an axis of anti-American regimes.

Mr. Biden began his State of the Union promisingly enough. He called attention to Russia's brutal war of conquest against Ukraine.

Jordan's Queen Rania Al Abdullah misses an opportunity

March 6, 2024  •  The Washington Times

For a quarter of a century, Rania Al Abdullah has been the Queen of Jordan, and, in many ways, a model royal she has been.

She's advocated "for tolerance, compassion, and promoting empathy between people of all cultures and backgrounds" (according to her website).

Beautiful and elegant, she's won more awards than you can shake a scepter at, including Glamour's Woman of the Year, and the Foreign Press Association's Humanitarian Award.

She's written children's books including "The Sandwich Swap" in which best friends Lily and Salma argue over peanut butter and hummus. In the end, they "come together in the true spirit of tolerance and acceptance."

Defeating Putin in Ukraine should be goal of liberals and conservatives alike

February 28, 2024  •  The Washington Times

Last Friday, President Biden announced new sanctions targeting 500 Russian officials and companies.

His aim was to deliver the "devastating" consequences that, three years ago, he vowed Russia's ruler, Vladimir Putin, would face if Russia's most prominent opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, were to die in a Siberian penal colony – as he did, on Feb. 16th at the age of 47.

"Make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny's death," Mr. Biden said. "Putin is responsible."

The sanctions also are intended to hobble Russia's economy as Mr. Putin's war to conquer Ukraine enters its third year.

Murder in the Gulag
Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin's only serious rival, has been eliminated

February 21, 2024  •  The Washington Times

While Tucker Carlson was marveling over the opulence of Moscow's subways, Alexei Navalny died in the "Polar Wolf" prison camp in northern Siberia.

Mr. Navalny was Russia's most prominent dissident, the only serious opponent to Vladimir Putin who, for more than 20 years, has held this vast and troubled land in a tightening stranglehold.

Mr. Navalny's supporters called him the "hero of the new era." That era is now, at best, very far off.

Earlier this month, Mr. Carlson conducted a two-hour interview with Mr. Putin. What did the Russian strongman have to say about the charismatic rival he incarcerated 40 miles above the Arctic Circle in the sunless winter?

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has four options

February 14, 2024  •  The Washington Times

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind behind the Oct. 7 invasion of Israel and the worst single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, is believed to be lurking within the subterranean labyrinth that lies beneath Gaza.

With funds provided by the "international donor community," Hamas constructed more than 300 miles of tunnels – a network more extensive than the London Underground.

We may assume that Mr. Sinwar is somewhere below the southern Gazan cities of Khan Yunis or Rafah, and that he is surrounded by hostages abducted from Israel and barely clinging to life. On the streets above, Gazans serve as his human shields – some voluntarily, some not.

I'd wager that Mr. Sinwar is pondering four options.
