The big question is whether it will cause World War III. Early Wednesday morning, at 3 pm in the afternoon Iranian time, a suicide bomber a mile from the modest grave of Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani in southeastern Iran’s Kerman province blew himself up. Then, 20 minutes later, as people crowded to the explosion’s site to

There are new fears that the war in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel could spill over into a wider conflict. And there is reason to fear that, in the end, the conflict could go nuclear and kill us all. Here’s what’s happened in the last few days. Early on Saturday, December 23, a
A new survey from LendingTree, the online loan comparison service, looked at accident rates of 30 auto brands and found that the brand with the most accidents per 1,000 drivers was Tesla. Other brands high on the list of accidents per 1,000 drivers were Dodge Ram and Subaru. When it came to driving incidents, a
The SpaceX Starship has launched its second orbital test flight. Which means that America now is about to have two mega-rockets, two of the biggest rockets ever to take to the skies. One is SpaceX’s Starship. The other is NASA’s Artemis Moon Rocket. How do the two stack up against each other? The Artemis Moon Rocket’s engines generate
Israel has declared that it now has control over the biggest hospital in Gaza, a hospital built by an Israeli architect, al Shifa Hospital. Why attack a hospital with numerous buildings, a staff of 700, 650 patients and up to 3,000 people seeking shelter? Israel’s army, the Israel Defense Force, has long said that Hamas’
For thirty years, China has been building step by step toward a tipping point in the global balance of power. A tipping point that will allow it to take over. And to impose what it calls a New World Order. That tipping point may have come with the war in Gaza. Why? China’s Xi Jinping has been
Militant extremist Islam is showing its carefully hidden Nazism. Just before the Hamas attack that killed 1,400 Israelis and started the current Hamas War, Mahmoud Abbas the president of the Palestinian Authority, went before the United Nations and gave a speech justifying Adolf Hitler. “These people [Jews] were fought because of…usury,” Abbas said repeating an
There’s a Muslim phrase you need to know if you’re going to understand the war in Gaza and Israel. It’s a phrase that militant Islamic Jihadists have used from Chechnya to Lebanon: “We love death more than you love life.” Keep that in mind as you watch the latest news on the Israel-Hamas war. Israel
We all know what happened Saturday. Or we think we know. Gaza fired what it said were 5,000 rockets at civilian targets in Israel. And Hamas fighters infiltrated Israel using a massive bulldozer to tear a hole in the smart fence draped with razor wire that separates Gaza from southern Israel. Over 1,500 invaders streamed through. Some of
On Tuesday September 21st, Target announced that it was closing nine stores in four states in October because of a new form of organized crime—smash and grab robberies, flash robberies. The sort of robberies that hit a Wawa convenience store in Philadelphia on Sunday September 24, when it was invaded by between 50 and 100
In a story that appeared Wednesday morning, September 14th, The Wall Street Journal exposed a hidden crisis called the silver tsunami. What’s the silver tsunami? It’s a tidal wave of homelessness among the elderly. Senior citizen homelessness today is five times what it was in 1990. Who are today’s homeless elderly? Baby boomers. A privileged
One of the world’s most fabled neighborhoods for the rich and famous is Beverly Hills, the home of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Adele, Jack Nicholson, and Eddy Murphy. And in Beverly Hills is one of the most luxurious and expensive shopping areas you have ever seen, Rodeo Drive. But is the allure of Rodeo Drive
The attack on social media just won’t stop. Three weeks ago, on August 8, the Child Mind Organization updated a report on its website headlined, “Does Social Media Use Cause Depression?” The answer was basically yes. Meanwhile, anonymous backers of the Kids Online Safety Act are running an expensive series of TV ads with mothers who
Thomas S. Dee, an education professor at Stanford University, has just released the results of a study he carried out in partnership with the Associated Press. The study’s topic is student absenteeism in 40 states, and the results are disturbing. The Dee study concludes that 6.5 million students are chronic absentees. They are absent more than one
The Washington Post ran a headline Wednesday, August 2, saying Donald “Trump has been indicted before. Historians say this time is different.” Why is this time different? From the Democrat point of view, we are at a turning point in American history. The next 458 days, many Democrats feel, will determine whether we have a
In my opinion, the sooner Vladimir Putin leaves the planet the better. He’s a mass murderer. But the fact is that Putin has pulled off a miracle. The news media says that the mutiny against Russia’s military leaders on Saturday June 24 shows Putin’s weakness. But that’s dead wrong. The mutiny shows Vladimir Putin’s strength. Why? On
Something startling is happening to aging. 90,000 Americans have reached the age of 100. Which means that you, too, may live that long. But how? Publicity for a new book on longevity has brought a 2012 study back into the news. In that study, researchers from Yeshiva University looked at 250 people 98 to
Two weeks ago, on March 30th, the Atlantic magazine published a story headlined “Why People Are Acting so Weird.” The article claimed that “Crime, “unruly passenger” incidents [on airplanes], and other types of strange behavior have all soared recently.” Peculiarly, the first example it gave was of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Academy
Three researchers from New York University have shown something startling. You can cut your risk of dementia in half with a simple trick—using the internet for roughly two hours a day. Dementia is a state in which your brain shrinks and your memory gives out on you. It often comes with old age. In extreme
If the launch of SpaceX’s 100-passenger Starship on Thursday succeeds, it will radically change the relationship between life and space. Why? for the price of one NASA Artemis Moon Rocket launch, you could launch 2,000 Starships for the price of one Artemis Moon Rocket launch carrying three passengers to the moon, you could launch
