Glenn Fairman: The ‘Closed Circle’ of the Arab— That the Arabs are a civilization deeply stratified along lines of family, clan, and tribe is a fundamental observation. If, however, one overlays the Arab’s psychological predisposition to the “power/challenge,” money-favoring, careerist, and “shame/honor” dynamics of culture, we in the West cannot hope for any genuine alliances based upon anything more solid than contingencies of transitory mutual advantage. Moreover, the liberal West must come finally to the stark realization that the Arab world is a zone where democracy and human rights, as we view them, cannot flourish, because such a Western abstraction cannot set its tendrils down in the flinty earth of unenlightened self-interest. In the realm of the Middle East, politics and prestige are as they have always been — the currency of a zero-sum game.

Ezekiel 41: 5-11
Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story. I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height. The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.

His Name is Yahweh explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important. It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.
- God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15)
- “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
- “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)
- Yeshua said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” (John 8: 58)

Daniel Greenfield: Is Israel Really Going to the Far Right?— David Horovitz’s Times of Israel article (not to be confused with David Horowitz) is one of the less abrasive pieces you’ll see on this topic, compared to the frothing and ignorant alarmist rhetoric you’ll see from New York Times and Washington Post columnists (to say nothing of the sheer meltdown in The Guardian or the Independent.) But that doesn’t mean he’s right.
Dror Eydar: A dying breed— Let’s hope that this election will leave the Oslo gang and its delusional supporters where they belong: History’s dustbin.
Dan Margalit: Olmert’s fantasy world— Without Israel’s investments in defense, the world would not have imposed painful economic sanctions on Iran.
Elliott Abrams: Questioning Hagel— The primary argument against Hagel’s confirmation seems to be that his policy views are wrong, bad, and even dangerous — and of course contrary to those of whoever is lodging this criticism. Several senators have already said they would vote against Hagel, and others have jumped on the fence and are sitting there until the hearings — due to their policy disagreements with him, often over Iran policy and Israel policy. I completely agree with the typical criticisms of his policy views, but can’t say I find them to be persuasive grounds for opposing his confirmation.
Jeannie DeAngelis: Expunging Truth from the 57th Inauguration—It’s easy for a preacher to get kicked out of Barack Obama’s inauguration. All he has to do is proclaim the Word of God.
Mike Konrad: The Palestinian Buyout Plan Gains Steam—Isn’t it a good idea to think outside the box when people inside the box keep dying?
Clarice Feldman: America: The Kardashian Years—Facts — they just don’t matter like they used to. Neither does the Constitution, if you listen to Joe Biden, Governor Cuomo, and other politicians grabbing the microphones to take advantage of the low information voters’ short attention span.
Lloyd Marcus: Government: America’s New God—With Barack Obama as the Golden Calf.
James Arlandson: Ten Non-Religious Reasons to Keep Marriage Traditional—Will radical, iconoclastic leftists get their way again, as they seek to destroy another beautiful, stable, and honored tradition?
Robert Oscar Lopez: Stand with France’s Family Advocates!— In a grassroots explosion that rivals the Tea Party, the “Manif pour tous” or “March for All” movement has mobilized as many as 500,000 people to storm François Hollande’s government in Paris and demand a halt to the proposed bill that would legalize gay marriage.
Daniel Greenfield: The Truth About Law Enforcement & Gun Violence Prevention—The Left tries to turn back the clock on crime rate decline, while disarming the law-abiding.
Clayton E. Cramer: Public Highlights Mass Murders, Ignores Most Murders: Racism?— I can see why Professor West might assume that racism is at the core of this overemphasis. The most common murder in the U.S. is a black or Hispanic young man killing another black or Hispanic young man, usually in a dispute over drugs, gang affiliation, or territory. In some cities, not only are murderers overwhelmingly people with criminal records, so are their victims.
David J. Rothkopf: Obama’s uncreative Cabinet picks— The choices President Obama has made for his second-term Cabinet are all experienced, capable men. Each has had a distinguished career, whether as a legislator, a veteran of past administrations or in another top government post. But in nominating Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state, former senator Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary, White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew to be Treasury secretary and John Brennan to be CIA director, and in keeping Tom Donilon to run the National Security Council, the president is sending a clear message that what you’ve seen is what you’ll continue to get in America’s foreign policy.
Daniel Halper: Hagel’s Armenian Problem— Hagel, a two-term Republican senator from Nebraska, was nominated Monday as President Barack Obama’s pick to head the Pentagon. He faces criticism for opposing a 2005 congressional resolution recognizing Turkey’s genocide of more than one million Armenians.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
