Lawrence Meyers, If we learned one thing this past year, it’s that the Mayans do not have a lock on failing to predict the Apocalypse. Democrats do. From the moment President Donald J.

Michael Brown, On December 21, 2017, the UN united as one to stand against one city on the planet: Jerusalem.

Joe Kaufman, Nidal Sakr labels Trump “enemy of God” and tweets, “Down with America!!!” What do you get when you have an individual who was acquainted with the founders of al-Qaeda and recruited into a terrorist cell by one of them; who was sentenced to death for the murder of an Egyptian policeman; who is
Arthur Schaper, After months of stalling and waiting, President Trump finally officially recognized Jerusalem as the Eternal Capital of Israel. He further directed his cabinet and the State Department to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The transition will take time, but it’s underway.

Robert Spencer, Why would anyone think Muslims would react violently? President Trump displayed more courage and integrity Wednesday than Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama ever did when he ended twenty-two years of waivers postponing the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s move to Jerusalem, declared that the U.S. recognized that Jerusalem was Israel’s capital,
Michael Brown, Ben Shapiro listed 7 reasons why Trump’s decision to move our embassy to Jerusalem is right, calling it “an act of not only political bravery but moral courage.” But is it an act that God Himself will bless?

Caroline Glick, Reversing course on closing the PLO mission sends a dangerous message.

Ari Lieberman, How Obama’s appeasement policies have prompted a fundamental realignment in Mideast alliances. The Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff, Lt.-Gen.
