I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.

Let the Bigots Speak

FBI Director Christopher Wray said antisemitism is growing in America. Is he right? I'm not so sure.

Antisemitism has always been present, as has bigotry against other demographic groups, much of which has remained unspoken. Is it more likely that people feel freer to express their bigotry? Maybe the media is covering it more closely. I tend to think it's a combination of all three.

I think most of us agree those with bigoted opinions are more comfortable in expressing their hatred. Stuart Seldowitz, 64, who worked for the State Department and the National Security Council during the Obama administration has been arrested after videos showing him making hateful remarks towards a food cart vendor were made public. The young man was apparently of Arabic descent; Seldowotiz made comments about the man being here illegally, that he hated Jews, that he should die, and more.

October 18, 2023: Nary a Mention of Its Importance

October 18, 2023, was a significant day in our history. Yet that day passed with hardly a mention of its importance to not only the American people, but the entire world. It's probably not surprising given that the significance of that day benefits America's enemies. Given the lack of truthful reporting about how America's actions have led to the situation in the Middle East, it's not surprising the propaganda arm of the federal government would ignore the events of October 18th.

There is no doubt that Joe Biden’s attempts to appease Iran by refusing to enforce nominations and unfreezing assets gave Iran the ability to train and arm Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups in the region. Having access to over $100 billion took the focus of the grand poohbahs running Iran off of survival and allowed them to re-engage in terrorist activities.

Don't Forget About Climate Change

As the world focuses on the latest distraction that will take us a step closer to either a one-world order or World War III (then the one-world order), many people are ignoring the more ridiculous and drastic steps that the Biden administration is taking in the name of global warming or climate change or global cooling. We're not sure which it is because none of their predictions come true. It's time to focus again on what they are truly talking about.

NASA's analysis of satellite data has found that there is 15% more green area on our planet over the last decade. More than two million square kilometers have seen an increase in the amount of trees and other vegetation, which had previously been either bare or contained very little vegetation. This is a net increase that takes into account the clear cutting of the Amazon forest, that by the way is not progressing as fast as it was nor is it as bad as we have been led to believe.
