Why Jews Should Reject Trump
Dear Fellow Jewish American,
I beg you to consider the consequences of a Trump victory.
In the aftermath of Oct. 7, we've seen an ugly new chapter in left-wing antisemitism. Left-wing activists on campuses and elsewhere adorned their posters with images of hang gliders, delighting, one must assume, in the acts committed when those gliders ...Read more
A Second Trump Presidency Would Be Terrible for the Economy
Following the Eating Pets imbroglio, one would think that undecided voters would have their doubts quelled about how to vote in November. What more is there to say?

The Most Revealing Moment of the Debate
