Below is my column in the New York Post on the confiscatory fines imposed on former president Donald Trump and his family and corporation. Democrats are thrilled by the over the $450 million bill facing Trump and the possibility that he could be forced to sell off property just to seek an appeal. On ABC, […]

Last Tuesday, more than 1,000 Australians marched on Canberra with a simple demand. Australia needs nuclear power ASAP. A lineup of top-flight speakers, including politicians, farmers and hard-core environmentalists (who have turned into the fiercest critics of subsidised wind and solar), backed by a very vocal crowd, laid out the truth about the great wind […]

One thing that bothers me about the war between Hamas and Israel is the large number of manifestly dumb beliefs that pervade the discourse. This is also true about Israel itself.
