Welcome new readers!

An introduction

Welcome, everyone. I was startled by the influx of new subscribers this past week as a result of the kind endorsement from Daniel Greenfield, whose writing I have admired for years. In turn, I have met several friends in the comment sections of Daniel’s articles at FrontPageMag. My perspective and concerns overlap with those of Daniel but are not identical.

I am a Jewish-American college professor teaching STEM subjects in the eastern United States, past middle age. I am pro-America, pro-Israel, pro-civilization.

I love illustrating information with graphics. You may see colored maps of America or the world on this blog, or all sorts of statistical graphics.

I love exploring ideas and how they drive history. I enjoy writing about health and wealth, as you can see from my most recent articles. (I was surprised to get no reaction to my recent column about cholesterol.)

I am Sabbath observant, somewhat in line with Traditional Judaism. I also admire the spiritual insights of the world’s other religions.

I generally try to refrain from what I call red-meat blogging, which means sending out shocking news to elicit a reaction of outrage.

I have a zero tolerance policy for anti-Semitism, and will ban any commenter who engages in it.

I am a three-time Trump voter, but I take the commandment against idolatry seriously. I have some proposals for the president-elect to consider, if he has the time. We can discuss them in a future column.

I hope I can add value to your life, and appreciate your interest.

While you are here, I ask that you help my fellow blogger Nitzakhon, who writes at Granite Grok. He is going through a rough patch now. Please buy him 5 coffees if you can afford it.

See you next time!
