My Take

Alan Dershowitz Flees the Dems and Thinks You Should Too

I remember Alan Dershowitz defending OJ Simpson in the “Trial of the Century” decades ago. I also remember that there was no liberal cause he didn’t or wouldn’t champion. Now, this…. For nearly seven decades, prominent attorney and Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz was a registered Democrat. However, citing a profound divergence in values, Dershowitz publicly severed ties with the party—first registering as an independent in late 2024 before officially joining the Republican Party in April 2026. In his book, Why I Quit the Dems: And So Should You!, Dershowitz elaborates on the rationale behind his departure and makes the case for why like-minded voters should follow his lead. His critique centers on three primary arguments about the modern Democratic Party’s ideological and institutional direction. Shift Toward Radicalism and Departure from the Center Dershowitz characterizes himself as a traditional, centrist liberal and an avowed “anti-radical.” In his view, the contemporary Democratic Party has abandoned the moderate, classic liberal principles of the John F. Kennedy era in favor of far-left politics. He contends that party leadership has capitulated to progressive radicals, pointing specifically to influential figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and Zohran Mamdani. Dershowitz argues that these factions have

We Can Thank Ireland’s ‘Gate to Hell’ for Our Halloween Traditions

Ireland’s “Gate to Hell” refers to Oweynagat (Irish for “Cave of the Cats”), a natural limestone fissure and ancient earthwork in Rathcroghan, County Roscommon. In Irish folklore and mythology, this underground site was considered a direct portal to the Otherworld (the realm of spirits, gods, and supernatural beings). The connection between Oweynagat and the modern holiday of Halloween traces back through the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Gateway of Samhain Over 2,000 years ago, the Celts marked the turn of the year at the end of October. This festival, Samhain (pronounced SOW-in), celebrated the end of the harvest and the onset of the dark, cold winter. The Celts believed that during Samhain, the veil separating the physical world from the supernatural realm grew thin. Oweynagat was seen as the primary point of origin where this barrier completely vanished. On the night of October 31st, the “Gate to Hell” was said to open, allowing the entities of the Otherworld to pour out into the human realm. Monsters from the Cave Early Irish medieval texts describe terrifying beasts emerging from Oweynagat at Samhain: The Morrígan: The phantom queen and goddess of war and fate was believed to dwell inside the cave

Ilhan Omar Saga Rolls On….

Is Ilhan Omar really Ilhan Abdullah Omar, or Ilhan Nur Said Elmi? Was she 17 or 18 when he obtained citizenship? Was she born on October 4, 1981, or October 4, 1982? Did she marry her brother to obtain citizenship for him? All these questions linger after a raid on her D.C. home by Homeland Security Investigators took away things like cell phones, tablets, computer discs, notes, and whatever. The raid has been described as a “witch hunt” by her staff, and other Congressional Dems have come to her defense. Now, one Minnesota Democrat has come out against her, but the question is, “How much clout does this guy really have?” According to reports in Fox publications, Joe Radinovich, a former Minnesota State Representative, believes at least the allegation about her marrying her brother is true, posting on X: “Democrats should understand that the allegation is almost certainly true — whatever conclusions they draw from that point could vary — and her denials calling it a right-wing, Islamophobic or racist conspiracy are almost certainly not.” Radinovich thinks Omar’s finances could present a problem for her as well. Meanwhile, Omar’s alleged brother-husband, came out and proclaimed himself gay. Ahmed Nur Said

Soon-To-Be-Impeached Pete Hegseth Gets It Right on General’s Big Mouth

Secretary of Defense/War Pete Hegseth, who will be impeached by Democrats immediately upon their taking control of the House in 2027, has been cleaning house at the Pentagon.  This week came another example of his firings and demotions when he summarily dismissed a general accused of leaking classified information to the media. My response: “You actually think he’s the only one doing this?” Anyway, it turns out that Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who failed four polygraph tests, eventually confessed to the evil but all-too-common Deep State deed. According to the Pentagon, Sylvia made “unauthorized disclosures to the media….” However, he “was cooperative in answering questions about interactions with the media to resolve this, and provided his personal phone for a forensic examination.” He evidently used a secure messaging app known as Signal to convey the secrets beginning in the summer of 2025. He even met with his media source at a diner 10 minutes from the Pentagon after that source’s Pentagon press credential had been revoked. “During the meeting at the diner, [Sylvia] relied on notes he took while reviewing a classified secret report to orally give [redacted] information on U.S. assistance to Ukraine,” according to the Pentagon and its

What Happened to Bibi’s Much-Heralded ‘Crushing Defeat’?

As I surfed the news channels last night for reports on the Israeli election, the only two channels that seemed focused were BBC World News and France 24. Both reveled in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “crushing defeat.” Exit polls, they claimed, showed Bibi’s opponent — Gadi Eisenkot –– and his party topping Likud, Bibi’s party, 52 seats to 50 (hardly crushing). This morning, when I tuned into both channels once again, the only news I could find was a floating headline on BBC that said Netanyahu and his party had pulled ahead. The gushing joy in his “crushing defeat” was nowhere to be found. France 24 was virtually silent. Anyway, nice to know that Europe has its “fake news” outlets as well as we do. Here, the coverage of the Israeli election, pre-voting, was all focused on the tens of thousands of American Israelis who were flying home to vote against Netanyahu. Israeli politics are a bit complicated, but it appears that Netanyahu will have to form another coalition to remain in office. That might be harder to do this time around since the Arab-Israeli parties gained seats last night. It seems unlikely that they would throw their support behind

Whatever Lula Wants, Lula Gets: Rig Election, Jail Opponent

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva just won a fourth term as president of Brazil in another of his rigged elections. Recall that his opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro, won the first round of the election cycle and was expected to win this just-concluded, decisive second round. Lula would have none of it, and he took steps to ensure he would sail into office once again. The first time he won, he made sure his opponent and predecessor — Flavio’s father Jair Bolsonaro — was brought up on charges and jailed for 27 years so he could never become president again. Lula is now moving to get Flavio to join his father in prison. He has had his passport revoked to make sure he can’t flee “justice.” Meanwhile, Flavio’s whereabouts are unknown. Smart guy; hopefully he fled the country before Lula could get what Lula wants — unrestricted power and no opposition candidate anywhere on jailcell-free soil. Meanwhile, President Trump has issued Flavio a visa. Let’s hope he’s on soil somewhere where he can actually use it. UPDATE: Bolsonaro has landed safely in Florida on a flight from Argentina. Smart man.

Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest Lair Destroyed by Fire

A hideaway in the Bavarian Alps for Hitler and his cronies went up in flames on Friday. Known as the Eagle’s Nest, the site has been a tourist attraction since 1950, operated by a charitable organization under the auspices of the German State of Bavaria. The lair was completed in 1938 just as Hitler and his troops began their assault on European nations. A suspect was arrested Friday in connection with the blaze, which is believed to have been arson. Hitler also used the site for propaganda films portraying himself as a lover of animals and nature. The building is about 6,000 feet up in the Kehlstein mountain, and visitors had to access it via a long tunnel leading to an elevator that travels up about 40 stories.  As a tourist attraction, the Eagle’s Nest offered not only history but also stunning views, along with a restaurant. UPDATE: The Bavarian government has vowed to restore the historic structure.
