Going wherever the evidence leads
Join me below as I discuss with Avi Abelow of Israel Video Network the attempt by Speaker Bercow to defend Parliament against the Barbarian One scaling its walls, Trump Derangement Syndrome (continued) and British Prime Minister Theresa May’s challenge to Jeremy Corbyn over the travel bans against Israelis in the Arab world.
Read MoreOn Holocaust Remembrance Day, Donald Trump said: “It is with a heavy heart and sombre mind that we remember and honour the victims, survivors, heroes of the Holocaust.” His statement did not mention Jews. According to a White House spokesman, the omission was deliberate and elevated in intent. “Despite what the media reports, we are an incredibly inclusive group and we took into account all of those who suffered”, she said. This was very wrong. Although the Nazis targeted various groups for persecution, only the Jews were singled out for…
Read MoreWhy are so many Jews currently getting some crucial things so desperately wrong? President Trump’s immigration order has provoked worldwide hysteria to which Jewish leaders in the US and Britain have unfortunately contributed. With the exception of the Zionist Organization of America which strongly supported the order, lay and religious US Jewish bodies have denounced it with some comparing it to restrictions on Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism. In Britain, the Board of Deputies President Jonathan Arkush said it was a “message taken as a gesture of evil intent toward Muslims…
Read MoreJoin me here as I marvel at the special relationship between the English vicar’s daughter and the volatile vulgarian in the White House, and speculate how this could usher in a new era of western renewal. If you’d like to read the remarks I make on this video, the transcript follows below. It had seemed impossible that Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May and the American President Donald Trump would have anything in common. The shy, reserved, utterly English vicar’s daughter and the garish and volatile vulgarian, who resembles a human…
Read MoreThrough the decades presidents from both sides of the aisle have banned groups of people from America. Some of these bans were motivated by prejudice; others sprang from security concerns identical to those behind President Trump’s order. The uproar against him is grounded in nothing more than a determination to delegitimise and destroy him, and to hell with the democratic process. This is virtue signalling on steroids. The hypocrisy is nauseating. The flight from reason is terrifying. The great danger to the world isn’t Donald Trump. It’s the threat by…
Read MoreAt the end of Donald Trump’s first week in office, any hope that the tumult he had provoked would settle down has been dashed. The new President shocked his opponents to the core once again by breaking with all known political convention and proceeding instantly to set in train what he had promised the American people he would do. From the moment he got his feet under the Oval Office desk, he produced a stream of executive orders: building the wall on the Mexican border, penalising sanctuary cities, clearing the…
Read MoreThe extraordinary protests against President Donald Trump go far beyond normal expressions of political disagreement. As I discuss with Avi Abelow of Israel Video Network, they represent a more frightening development: the widespread assumption that the Presidential election result was illegitimate, and therefore can properly be opposed by a force assembled on the streets because the people on those streets didn’t like the result.
Read MoreHowever flawed the new President may turn out to be the enormous popularity of his approach, which speaks to the everyday lives and concerns of ordinary people by being rooted in what is rather than in what should be, has the potential to wipe out the left. Donald Trump rejects utopian ideologies. His intended programme amounts to a counter-revolution against identity politics, the grievance culture and a free pass to certain groups for bad behaviour. It stands instead for upholding the national and cultural identity that the left has spent…
Read MoreThe hysterical reaction against President Trump is totalitarian in its instincts and incites hatred, paranoia and aggression. Ultimately it’s not about the new occupant of the Oval Office but about the protesters themselves.
Read MorePresident Donald Trump was brought to power by a cultural counter-revolution: a revolt by millions of Americans against a liberal progressive consensus and the establishment that embodied it. Those who voted for him want him to overturn that consensus. He promised to do so. In his inaugural address he told them he would keep his word; he would take power away from that establishment and give it back to the people. What we are now seeing, on the streets of America and in its media, is an all-out attempt to…
