On occasion, I receive emails containing interesting ideas and commentaries. When someone has written a commentary that is especially cogent and compelling, I like to post it.

Since Hamas terrorists slaughtered some 1,400 innocent Israeli men, women, and children on October 7, 2023, we have seen pro-Hamas demonstrators shut down expressways, bridges, and college campuses while screaming “death to Israel” and “death to America.” Why are we allowing this to happen?

Americans are not a happy people. In fact, according to the latest Gallup World Happiness Report, for the first time in the report’s 12-year history, the U.S. was not among the top 20 happiest nations in the world. I am not surprised. Despite the rosy picture of America our doddering …
