Well over 40 years ago, as he wrote in "How Democracies Perish", Revel could see that the West was in dire straits, and external enemies back then – most notably Soviet Communism – were being aided and abetted by those within the West who were simply blind to the goods of their own world.

These books all argue that modern Israel has a right to exist, it has a right to defend itself, and it is the only real democracy in the entire Middle East. Given the global hatred and hostility to Israel, we need to be aware of books like these.

Sowell draws a striking contrast between the elite academia, or the Anointed, and the general population, whom he refers to as the Benighted — those deemed unenlightened and trapped in moral or intellectual darkness.

Various scripture passages speak to the need for us to test things, including testing ourselves. On this issue of examining ourselves, we certainly do need to keep tabs on our lives, but we also must guard against being overly introspective. We must keep our eyes on Christ.

Barack Obama has been barracking for the “climate crisis cult” about global warming (now upgraded to global boiling) and rising sea levels for the better part of a decade. Yet, he's bought the Magnum estate, then demolished it, and is now building a mansion on the site, right next to the ocean.

All over the Western world, especially since the horrific October 7 attack, we have seen universities pushing radical Islamist and pro-Hamas hate speech. Radicals have set up tent cities and occupied classrooms as they shout ugly anti-Israel chants.
