“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Yes, Benghazi matters

Prior to watching the video that I’m embedding below, I basically dismissed the Benghazi scandal as yet another example of Obarmy’s utter incompetence, and nothing much more than that. Rarely have I ever been so utterly wrong. It turns out that Benghazi is...

“A long, twilight struggle”

As the Cold War reached what mathematicians refer to in functional analysis as a “local maximum” during the late 1950s and early 1960s, American appeared to be on the back foot, retreating in the face of relentless Soviet pressure. The Warsaw Pact’s...

Free the lands of the north

There is no depth to which the Unionists of the (possibly soon to be dis-)United Kingdom will not stoop in order to scare the people of Scotland into staying in the Union: Like Boris Johnson, my sense is that Scotland will eventually vote no. But what a kerfuffle we...

Why is this news?

American “football”- or, as the rest of the civilised world calls it, gridiron- is not something with which I ordinarily concern myself. I have no clue how it’s played, I just know that it’s a sort of sanitised version of rugby, played with...

Lord but it is good to be back home. (Going back to work and having my extroverted colleague yapping in my ear all the time, not so much…) Yet I cannot help but feel a wrenching sense of loss at having left Eretz Israel. I have said it before, and now I...

“Daft cow”, indeed

Yet another clueless staff writer at the Telly is having immense trouble understanding why women should not act like men, and vice versa: My wise, old dad always said: “You can say anything as long as you say it with a smile on your face.” Luckily, I was 10 and knew...

Drive-by country

Molotov Mitchell has some rather trenchant observations to make about the State of New Jersey, on his way to making some quite poignant observations about lone soldiers fighting for Israel: Unfortunately, I can’t really avoid NJ. I live in the state. I do,...

Leave the barbarians alone

Pat Buchanan proves, yet again, exactly why the rest of the country should be listening to him very closely when it comes to foreign policy: But before allowing these “Cassandras” to stampede us back into the civil-sectarian Middle East wars that resulted from our...
