The Democrat Socialists of America

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: September 18, 2017

At last, the Democrat party reveals its socialist core. The only way to save Obamacare is through, you guessed it, socialism. You know like Cuba or Venezuela, where you have to bring your own sheets and aspirin to the government hospital Bernie Sanders, who spent his honeymoon in the totalitarian Jew-hating Soviet Union, has come […]

The Fascists of Black Lives Matter

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 17, 2016

Besides being a Jew-hating mob, BLM is, at the core, a leftist fascist organization that is generously funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. BLM have published their platform, and if you give it even a cursory read you will immediately recognize it as a Marxist-Leninist tract, which is to say, a call for fascism.

Political Ideology in the Garden of Eden

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: July 27, 2016

by Karen Singer Avrech, Ph.D In Ameritopia, author Mark Levin points out that Leftist-Progressive ideology strives to create a utopian society.

Black Lives Matter Unmasked

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: July 14, 2016

The MSM would have you believe that the BLM movement is leaderless, a respectable grass roots protest movement. In fact, BLM was co-founded by Alicia Garza a Marxist-Leninist, America-hating revolutionary. Take a look at her profile in Discover the Networks.Org. A guide to the political left. Born in 1981, Alicia Garza is a self-described “queer” […]

The Wrong Side of History is Right

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 2, 2016

The Obama administration specializes in Orwellian Newspeak. As a true disciple of Communist agitator Saul Alinsky, Obama uses and abuses language to achieve social control over the American people. As Orwell said, “He who controls language controls thought.” Also an Alinskyite, Hillary Clinton exchanged letters with the Communist agitator, and in 1969, wrote an admiring […]

From Ben Casey to ObamaToilet

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 17, 2016

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjq1P5p3fso[/youtube] The opening credits to the Ben Casey TV series (1961-1966) were the only opening credits that my friends and I noticed and talked about. We were tweener Yeshiva students, enthusiastically devouring the fruits of popular culture even as were were steeped in Torah. We didn’t analyze our response to the Ben Casey credits. Our […]

Passover 2016: The Slave Learns to Love His Shackles

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 20, 2016

Friday night begins the holiday of Passover in which Jews celebrate deliverance from Egyptian bondage. In order to escape the shackles of slavery, the vast machinery of the mighty Egyptian state had to be crushed. Those who wielded absolute power were reduced to nothingness. G-d did this not only to diminish the physical power of […]

Book Review: The Scandal of Money by George Gilder

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 11, 2016

Seraphic Secret invited our good friend Jake Novak to review George Gilder’s important new book. Imagine you’re a carpenter who naturally relies on a good hammer to get your work done. But after years of reliable service, that hammer starts to act strangely. Sometimes it pushes the nail into the wood, and sometimes it doesn’t. […]

The Coming Religious Purges

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 29, 2015

Now that SCOTUS has endorsed same-sex marriage as a human right and enshrined it as federal law, those individuals and communities of traditional faith will see their religious freedom curtailed in a series of multi-pronged assaults. It is vital to understand that the left is not really interested in marriage equality; they are playing […]

We Are the TransWorld

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 17, 2015

Postmodern democrats live alongside unicorns and rainbows. On a genetic level, Bruce Jenner is male. This should be beyond dispute, especially for democrat/liberals/progressives, (what are they calling themselves this week?) whose ideology boasts of its boundless respect for science, as opposed to knuckle-dragging conservatives who have the chutzpah to challenge politically rigged science. But democrats […]

The Cash Donations Hillary Simply Has No Answer For

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 1, 2015

Believe it or not, I am linking to an article in Salon. Among all the rivers of money that have flowed to the Clinton family, one seems to raise the biggest national security questions of all: the stream of cash that came from 20 foreign governments who relied on weapons export approvals from Hillary Clinton’s […]

Obama’s Jews — Fox News

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 13, 2015

Yesterday, President Obama was in full Marxist mode at a Catholic-Evangelical Leadership Summit on Overcoming Poverty at Georgetown University. Obama took pot shots at hedge fund manages because they make more money than kindergarten teachers. Has it ever occurred to Obama that kindergarten teachers freely choose their profession? Just as hedge fund managers choose what they […]

About Me
Robert J. Avrech
Los Angeles, California
I'm an Emmy Award winning screenwriter. I'm also an observant Jew, a religious Zionist, a conservative Republican, and a member of the NRA. I've been writing and producing in Hollywood for over twenty-five years. But the focus of my life is my family: my radiant wife, Karen—with whom I have been in love with since I was nine years-old—and my two daughters, who, thankfully, look like Karen. Not too long ago, we had three children. But our son, Ariel, died at the age of twenty-two from cancer. We miss him terribly. We think about him practically every minute of every day. People tell us that time heals, but Karen and I know this is not true. Time grinds away doing its terrible work. Ariel is gone. Yet absence becomes presence.

Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.
