When I was offered the role of Ronald Reagan’s longtime confidant Edwin Meese in “Reagan,” playing opposite Dennis Quaid as the 40th president, I was excited. I
asked our producer, Mark Joseph, if it would be all right if I reached out to Meese and he replied, “We can set that up.” I was pleasantly surprised and immediately started to prepare my questions for the interview. The outcome was that Reagan’s former counselor and U.S. attorney general spent an hour with me on a Zoom session. His insights were helpful and as I prepared myself for the role, I read...

That little lesson from Panama's election for lawfare-obsessed Democrats

American Thinker ^
| 13 May, 2024 | Monica Showalter
Lawfare against a top presidential candidate has its consequences. Do
any of the Democrats engaged in lawfare against President Trump read the news about leftists south of the border who do the same things they are doing? Maybe Panama's election a week ago would be useful for them to know. According to Foreign Policy, which has a good, if somewhat left-slanted overview of what went on there: The winner, José Raúl Mulino, was a stand-in candidate for former President Ricardo Martinelli, who was disqualified due to a money laundering conviction. (Outgoing center-left President Laurentino Cortizo was barred from running due...

The World’s Leaders, Including Biden, Must Learn The Lesson Of Passover
|
| |
American Thinker ^
| 22 Apr, 2024 | Andrea Widburg
Tonight, at sunset, Jews across the world will celebrate Passover, something they’ve been doing annually for around 3,500 years. The
holiday commemorates the miracle (and gift) of God leading the Jews out of slavery in Egypt. This was the world’s first slave revolt and led to God’s handing down the moral laws that are the backbone of the Judeo-Christian faiths. But the Passover story also tells us something important about the nature of tyranny, and the world’s governments, from Biden on down, would do well to heed that lesson. The story of Passover appears in Exodus, the second book of...

A 1920s Lesson for Today’s History Textbook Wars
|

Time Magazine ^
| April 8, 2024 | Bruce W. Dearstyne
The teaching of history has become a flashpoint in the culture wars. But
while the battle is fierce, it’s not new. An earlier round in the conflict in the 1920s — over the teaching of the American Revolution — indicates that it will be crucial for historians to weigh in loudly and forcefully during the current debate. That will give them the space to continue to teach the most accurate, up-to-date version of U.S. History and prevent forces that fundamentally don’t understand the job of historians from shaping what American children learn about the past. In the late 19th century,...

No, Queen Rania, It’s Not Israel that’s the Obstacle to Peace-A history lesson for a queen

More on Queen Rania of Jordan’s false claims can be found here: “Jordan’s Queen Rania: Israel had one October 7, the Palestinians have had 156,” Jerusalem Post, March 13, 2024:Queen Rania claims that the “dehumanization” of Palestinians is “systematic” in Israel and that it is unjustifiably ingrained in Israeli society to believe
“if we don’t kill them, they’re going to kill us” regarding the Palestinians. She says that she blames “hardline leaders for keeping their people in this perpetual state of fear of an existential threat that doesn’t exist and making them feel like just killing Palestinians and killing Hamas...

It would be nice to think that all we have to do is get out and vote to rid ourselves of these warmongers. But
they control the elections, and they are in their glory. I do not see how we can avoid this war. They are doing everything in their power to prevent RFK from being on the ballot and to destroy Donald Trump, all so they retain their power with their hand puppet, Joe Biden. Before Biden was Vice President, I was at some dinner many years ago and I was not impressed with him back then. In fact,...

A Lesson for America: Green Policies Crush German Economy
|
| |
The Daily Signal ^
| March 08, 2024 | Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Alexander Frei
Germany’s gross domestic product has been falling since the third quarter of 2022, causing fears of the first 2-yearlong recession since the early 2000s. German
farmers are openly protesting new climate regulations that would raise the price of diesel fuel, vital for tractors and farm machinery. This discontent is mirrored by the general public, which is opposed to higher energy costs that drag down the economy. Recent polls show a significant shift in public opinion that’s increasingly opposed to the coalition government. Unlike the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate, where invariably one party secures a ruling majority, multiple...

China Eyes Russia's Far East as Putin's 'History Lesson' Backfires
|

Newsweek ^
| Feb. 13, 2024 | Aadil Brar
In recent years, a movement among sections of Chinese nationalists has emerged, asking that Russia return Vladivostok to China. These claims have been intensified by Putin's interview, in which he contrasted the alleged historical foundation of the Russian state, which he said dated back to the 9th century, with the "invention" of
Ukraine in the 20th century. "According to history, Russia should return us Vladivostok and vast territory stolen 100-something years ago," Robert Wu, a social media user from China, said on X, formerly Twitter... Another Chinese nationalist on Weibo pointed out that Russia has territories that imperial Chinese dynasties...

The greatest collapse of a mighty state, a large human society and a fruitful civilization of which we possess a reasonably accurate record, has been immortalized by Edward Gibbon’s historical classic, The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire. Henry Adams remarked that Gibbon did not really explain the fall; but this
criticism is not altogether just. As the following excerpts from The Decline and Fall show, the philosophic historian offered a number of reflections on the symptoms and causes of the drama which he set out to describe: "This long peace and the uniform government of the Romans introduced...

Di Leo: The Lesson of Claudine Gay Isn't About Education
|

Illinois Review ^
| January 3, AD 2023 | John F Di Leo
Claudine Gay is a nobody. That’s
not really an insult. This writer is a nobody, and not ashamed of it. The world is full of nobodies. Not everyone deserves to be in the history books; not everyone can found a global conglomerate; invent earthshaking inventions; write bestsellers or star in blockbuster films. The vast majority of people can only expect to be decent citizens; earning a living and providing for their families; serving their community as well as they can. And that’s an honorable life. It gets disturbing, however, when someone is so bound and determined to matter in the...

A Lesson In How Anti-Gunners Ignore Inconvenient Facts

| 12/26/2023 | Tom Knighton
Gun control advocates like to pretend that the facts are on their side. Of
course, we also know that the research they like to push has…let’s just say it has problems. The truth of the matter is that there is a tendency among the anti-Second Amendment types to simply ignore anything inconvenient. When the polls say that the public no longer supports infringements on our right to keep and bear arms, they simply cite older polls that tell them what they wanted to hear in the first place, just to name one example. But I came across another example. It...

Falling ACT Scores Hold a Lesson for Universities. Inflated high-school grades are masking a crisis in college readiness.

James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^
| December 21, 2023 | Harrington Shaw
A record number of students are failing to reach college-readiness benchmarks. The
data, from testing giant ACT, come as scores fall for the sixth straight year. ACT’s college-readiness benchmarks aim to predict student preparedness by setting scoring standards commensurate with a reasonable degree of success in college courses. ACT claims that students meeting the benchmark for a particular subject on its flagship test have a 50-percent chance of attaining a B and a 75-percent chance of attaining a C in the corresponding college class. However, a record number of students are failing to meet any of the ACT’s benchmarks. 43...

Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, informed MSNBC host Joy Reid that the reported death toll in Gaza cannot be taken at face value. Advertisement
His response came after Reid pressed him to explain the 18,000 deaths the Gaza Health Ministry has reported since Israel began its response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis. "How has causing that much death and destruction, 80 percent of those dead estimated to be women and children, how does that achieve the goal of eradicating Hamas?" she wondered. Regev began by thanking Reid for...

BIBLIANO: What if I told you that the “Second Coming” already happened? AMIGO: I’d say you were completely nuts. (Under his breath: And I would unfriend you on Facebook.)

Or from 2018. Or from 2022. Or
from any election where the feckless RNC is tasked with holding the line against a relentless assault on Americans’ rights and freedoms. Based on these off-year election results, things are going to get a whole lot worse for Republican voters to mobilize to make necessary changes in their government. First, let’s get to the gubernatorial elections. Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear was re-elected after beating Trump-endorsed candidate Daniel Cameron, an evangelical running amidst an unpopular near-total state ban on abortions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. Beshear’s...
