People who should know better seem to know absolutely nothing when the stakes are at their highest. The Pope, who is the final arbiter on Catholic teachings, appears to be only vaguely familiar with both Christian and papal history.

With the mullahs on their knees just begging for a knock-out punch, be thankful for a vulgar man in the Oval Office eager to deliver the final blow.

Newsom’s newfound sensitivity to Jewish concerns and reclaiming of the moderate mantle is commendable. Now all he needs is for the Angel of Death to “pass over” the Democratic Party.

In its war with Iran, the United States is learning what Israel has long known about its Islamist enemies: perpetually locked and loaded in apocalyptic, messianic, end-of-days dreamscapes, they will respond to total defeats by not surrendering and then, like psychopaths, emerge from the darkness and claim victory.
