The US can jumpstart the search for life on this moon of Saturn

With the recent discovery of traces of what may or may not be or have been life on Mars, eyes are turning to another world in the solar system which might harbor extraterrestrial life. Old data from the Cassini probe suggests that Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus should be of interest for astrobiologists.

The Oct. 7 Warning for the U.S. on China

The Politics of ObamaCare Subsidies

Today is October 7, the second anniversary of the most horrendous mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. Here follows my wishes to all concerned.

To the Israelis, I wish victory and peace and an end to the killing and the dying. Also, some well-deserved respect in the world for facing down the human demons who threaten their very existence.

To the Palestinians, I also wish an end to the killing and the dying. Also, a realization that God, whom they call the merciful and the compassionate, expects mercy and compassion from his worshipers and is very angry when this doesn’t happen.

Finally, to the keyboard jihadis, the Greta groupies, and the marching antisemites, a little self-awareness and the realization that they are not on the right side of history or morality.
