by Gary Fouse I have never been terribly interested in State of the Union addresses. They tend to be over-hyped in their presentation, and the language often gets too mundane, boring and corny. In recent years, the partisanship has been a turn-off even though it might increase the interest. Trump ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse This past week, I translated a video of ex-Italian Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini, speaking in Rome on January 16. The topic was anti-Semitism, and the occasion was a one-day conference he and his Lega Party had called. Aside from Salvini, the Israeli ambassador to Italy also ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse I have held off on writing about the killing of Iran's Qassem Soleimani and the resulting tension of the past few days in order to see where the dust will settle. It appears that it will take some time before it all plays out. I am no geo-political expert, but here is what I think ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse The latest multiple stabbing at a rabbi's home in New York City during Hanukkah celebrations is just the latest in spate of anti-Semitic attacks that have hit the city in the past couple of weeks (not to  mention the deadly attack in nearby Jersey City). Police have a man in custody ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse As we watched yesterday's impeachment play out in the House of Representatives, there is one basic question that must be asked-and will be asked when this goes to the Senate for trial: Which was worse-Trump's request that the president of Ukraine conduct an investigation into the ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse As I write, investigators are still trying to find all the facts surrounding the shooting at Pensacola Joint Station in which a Saudi airman shot and killed three people before being killed by police. There are reports that he was on Twitter 15 minutes before the attack railing ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse The (latest) London Bridge attack on November 29 underscores just how sick Great Britain has become. Although it was heartening to see ordinary citizens go after the attacker with everything they could get their hands on and equally heartening to see (armed) cops shoot the killer ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse I did not watch all of Marie Yovanovitch's testimony today, but I watched much of it. In what I saw, she was an excellent and credible witness. (Being retired from law enforcement, it is something I pay attention to.) It is not my purpose to attack her or her political bent, but ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse Today public hearings begin in the Trump impeachment process. The Democrats, under the leadership of Adam Schiff (D-CA), will take those witnesses whom they feel were strongest against President Trump in the infamous closed door hearings and put them before the public. We will hear ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse The funeral of Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was held today in Baltimore. Among the speakers was Hillary Clinton. In classical Hillary Clinton fashion, she used the event to attack not only President Trump, but Melania Trump as well. It was an obscene display in which she compared the ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse Marie Yovanovitch is the latest figure to pop up in the Democrats' never-ending quest to remove President Trump from office. Ms Yovanovitch is a career US State Department Foreign Service officer who has served as our ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, and most recently, Ukraine. ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse In a way, I should not be paying attention to Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish girl who is now a world-known climate activist after she came to America and appeared before the UN and the US House of Representatives with her angry "How dare you" speech. Since she has been ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse Being at the gym today, I jumped on the treadmill and was able to watch the first hour of Corey Lewandowski's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. Thus, I was able to hear the opening statements of Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA), and ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse There is a most disturbing story out of Sweden this week. A rapper named Jesse Ekene Nweke Conable, who goes by the name JCBUZ, has put out a video on his Instagram account in which he openly calls for the killing of whites. Conable is a 22-year-old immigrant from Nigeria who has ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini With this month's resignation of Italian Prime Minster Giuseppe Conte, and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's calls for a new election, things looked promising in Italy. Salvini, who has become a folk hero in Italy (except on the left), and his Lega party, ...Read More...
