1 week ago | commentary.org | John Podhoretz

Donald Trump says he doesn't start wars; he ends them. That may be the promise made to him by the Israelis in the Iran matter-that an American strike against the Fordow nuclear site will be the ultimate act of peacemaking.

Not that it needed legitimizing, but let's put it this way: The Zionist "experiment" is no longer an experiment. Israel is now a reality. It will endure, as the Jewish people have endured.

The LA situation continues to dominate, as California Gov. Newsom takes to the airwaves to say that fascism has arrived in America and he's just the guy to stop it. Meanwhile, Los Angeles was put under a curfew because the lawlessness in the streets has overwhelmed the cops there.

What Are the Democrats Doing?

2 weeks ago | commentary.org | John Podhoretz

Noah Rothman joins the podcast as we examine the ongoing street violence and theater in Los Angeles and the fact that the Democratic Party has now committed itself, it seems, to a posture in which they are supporting lawlessness and handing Donald Trump everything he would want in terms of the arguments he is making about their irresponsibility and lack of patriotism.
