Anti-Semite Omar's Attempt To Re-Litigate The Cold War Is Absurd
In the long-term, Central America, for all its problems, is a lot safer and more stable because of U.S. foreign policy in the '80s.
Ron Radosh
Mark Hemingway understands what the 80s Central American wars where about. An excellent defense of Elliott Abrams as well.

The new committee member’s very rhetorical questions to ‘Mr. Adams’ suggested deep suspicion of America’s foreign affairs, and limited knowledge of them.

Can the Republican Party Be Saved? Should It?
The GOP has been the home of right-of-center political views for more than half a century, espousing limited-government, anti-communist, internationalist, fiscally balanced, economically liberal ideologies—though its politicians sometimes failed to...
Ron Radosh
Here is a serious proposal for a new center-right party, and a critique of anti-Trump Republicans who think the GOP can be saved. Its author Thomas Firey gets it right

Ilhan Omar Is Not Really Sorry for her Anti-Semitic Remarks
Ilhan Omar’s second apology in as many months for making anti-Semitic remarks is not genuine, and accepting shallow contrition empowers bigotry.
Ron Radosh
At Commentary, Abe Greenwald shows why Ilhan Omar's so-called apology is completely phony. Dems, demand that Nancy Pelosi take her off the Foreign Affairs committee

Michael Anton Is Back to Remind Us That There’s Such a Thing as a ‘Trump Intellectual’

Ron Radosh
In the Bulwark, Gabriel Schoenfeld has a first rate and truly brilliant critique of so-called "Trump intellectuals," concentrating on Michael Anton. The term is truly, as he says, an oxymoron.

In the Bulwark, the great Cathy Young has the best takedown of
Candace Owens. Do conservatives really want to honor such a rather dumb and know-nothing as she seems to be?

Meet Alexandria Ocasio-Corbyn
Ocasio-Cortez is the acceptable face of socialism, washed clean of the crimes which New Left people like Corbyn have spent their lives explaining away
Ron Radosh
In Spectator US, Dominic Green gets OAC's pathetic barely hidden anti-Semitism and her love for Corbyn. It's a good thing Irving Howe is no longer with us, because her antics might have given him a heart attack

The Progressive Assault on Israel
A movement that can detect a racist dog-whistle from miles away is strangely deaf when it comes to some of the barking on its own side of the fence.

Kudos to Bret Stephens for his terrific column in which he takes on the left's anti-Semitism. AOC etc should read it and think before opening their mouths

The Left Keeps Getting Venezuela Wrong
Anti-imperialists prefer a Russian-backed dictator to a public revolt.
