My People, The Jews, are the most resilient people there are. We are Creators and scholars, in Science, Medicine, The Law, and Business. The Jews have survived attempted genocide at the hands of the Romans. (Just look at what the Roman Empire became-Italy now is a basket-case in Europe, as is Greece.) Yet, We Survive, …

A Look Back at 2016, and the True Legacy of Barack Hussein Obama
The person who will still be president until January 20, 2017, is the most destructive individual to have ever held that office. Destructive, that is, of America, and what she has stood for over the past 240 years. Let's take a look at what Destroyer Obama hath wrought. He has destroyed and reduced the formerly …

Born in the USA, and Grateful – Happy Thanksgiving
On the Thanksgiving holiday, we give thanks for all our blessings. Here in the United States, Thanksgiving has been a national holiday since the 1860s. Yes, in the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November Thanksgiving Day. I want to declare how very grateful I am for having …

After the Election
I have to say, I had a great time on Tuesday night. I spent 2.5 hours in front of my computer, participating in the live chat with my Ricochet friends. There must have been over 200 of us, from all over the world, chiming in and giving reports of how the voting was going in …
Nostalgia…The best weeks of my life
My readers will be familiar with my magic three weeks in Cambridge, England in 1991, from my post on that trip. Thinking back on my long life, those three weeks are the only time in my life that I can say I'm nostalgic for. I lived through the hippie 1960s and 1970s, and I'm not …
Photo Challenge…Quest…For My People
I am a Jew. In 2007, I went to Israel with Michael Medved. For me, it was a quest, to see where my people originated. At Masada, dozens of my ancestors committed suicide, rather than submit to being conquered by the Romans. I felt very close to them when we went there. Those were My …
Kindertotenlieder
Songs on the Death of Children. In his book The Devil’s Pleasure Palace, Michael Walsh opines that the German Romantic Movement of the late 19th and early 20th Century, foretold the decline of Western Civilization. Two stories in the news today perhaps reflect how far we have fallen. Both stories are horrifying. Dad Admits Killing …
We must Never Forget…September 11, 2001
On that day, worldwide Radical Islam escalated the ongoing war on the United States of America (and the rest of Western civilization), the nation that has been a beacon of hope and prosperity for over 250 years. For the past eight years, we have ignored that war, and turned our backs on Christians and Jews …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame
In the summer of 2006, after my orchestra played Carnegie Hall, my husband and I spent a couple of weeks touring around upstate New York. We visited Revolutionary War sites, including the battlefield at Saratoga, and Fort Ticonderoga. This is a view of Lake Champlain, seen through the frame of a window in one of …
