There’s a lot going on under the radar as we wind up the year 2025, especially with regards to war, the economy and the continued takeover of society by artificial intelligence, to the detriment of that forgotten document that underpins our republic, the U.S. Constitution. Here’s my breakdown of…
Norman Podhoretz, the pugnacious Jewish intellectual who transformed Commentary magazine into the engine room of neoconservatism and spent half a century waging ideological warfare against enemies foreign and domestic, died December 16, 2025, at age 95.
