After Trump: Will America Make a Hard Left?
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
With New York City electing an openly avowed socialist, and Democratic sweeps of the New Jesey and Virginia elections, is it possible the rest of the country will follow suit in the 2028 Presidential election?
This is an important, and perhaps an obvious question that must be asked.
To say that the country is politically divided is like asking if the Pope is Catholic; Charlie Kirk is assassinated and there seems to be a revival of conservativism on college campuses along with evangelical Christianity, whilst “No Kings” rallies and anti-ICE protests heat up.
The question will be is the shift to the Left a blip on the radar screen coming from states that are already “Blue,” or an actual movement, a more tectonic shift, that portends a national change?
Hamas Is Not the Greatest Threat to Israel—Political Unrest Is
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
By all intent and purposes, you would think that the menace continuing in the form of Hamas would be the prime existential threat to Israel. A torrid war has been raging for some two years to neutralize them and return the hostages that they have brutally taken and treated.
But you would be wrong.
The greatest threat to the Jewish state is internal unrest, so significant, that it could shatter Israeli society into fragments, of which, no one could put the pieces back together.
Witness the protests of last March when Netanyahu put a major effort into dismissing Shin Bet chief Ronan Bar, along with AG Gali Bharav. Or perhaps the protest over the judicial overhaul legislation.
The Idaho Murders: When Justice Fails
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Over the past few decades Americans have been inundated with the news of violent crimes. It has gotten to a point that when a new horrific crime is announced in the news cycle, it is greeted with a shrug or yawn.
Such, however, was not the case when four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered in the early hour of November 13, 2022.
The four students, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were viciously stabbed to death while they slept in an off-campus housing. However, one of the students, Xana Kernodle, appeared to have fought back as many of her wounds were defensive.
Pope Frances’ Difficult Legacy
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Pope Francis has passed away—and the world mourns.
Prime ministers, Presidents, Kings and Queens were quick to send their condolences to the Vatican and the over 2 billion Catholics who called him their pastor and Vicar of Christ on earth.
But Francis’ legacy is a very difficult one; a legacy that many see him as a trailblazer for progressive causes and the poor, while others bewail what they saw as a Pope with heterodox theological standards.
The real issue for faithful Catholics is: did this Pope represent the Christian faith accurately to the world at large.
It’s Time for America’s Relationship with Ukraine to Change—How about a Divorce?
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
The war in Ukraine has dragged on now for some three years. The United States has stood by Ukraine and the Zelensky government with both armaments and finances, to the tune of $350 Billion.
For a moment, let’s put aside who attacked who and the reasons for the war. When one ally is helping a smaller ally to help its country to survive, there should be a degree of decorum and thankfulness. Such was not the case when Mr. Zelensky visited Washington this past Friday. Zelensky’s disrespect and lack of thankfulness to America and Trump was on full display to the whole world via the media. In an extraordinary exchange, Trump and Zelensky made their disagreements public. One would have to think that the President knew what was coming, and wanted to be sure the American people saw what he and his administration must deal with.
