Brad Wenstrup reflects in National Review on the foundation and history of the United States of America. Wenstrup describes how in recent decades federal agencies have “slowly seized” powers constitutionally granted to Congress and are acting in ways that further the interests of federal bureaucrats, ultimately betraying the principles articulated by America’s Founding Fathers.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
