Trump Rescues William Tecumseh Sherman

Tweet The New York Times just did a hatchet job about Trump and women which ended up making the NY Times look far worse than Trump. The Washington Post hired 20 extra reporters to investigate Trump — just as they did not do when Barack Obama was the Democrat nominee. I recently came across a […]

David Niven, Ginger Rogers, and the Battle of the Bulge

Tweet On the night of December 16, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, eight jeep teams made up of German soldiers fluent in English slipped through American lines. Some carried vials of sulphuric acid to throw in the faces of American guards if they were stopped. Other groups cut communication wires and carried out […]

U.S. Military Appeasing Muslim Brotherhood…

Tweet We expect the poison of political correctness in American colleges and universities because left-wing professors dominate academia. But to see this political ideology infect our armed forces is almost beyond belief. Let us be clear. The purpose of deliberately minimizing the danger of radical Islam is to make America receptive to sharia. By appeasing […]

Dishonorable Disclosures

Tweet President Barack Hussein Obama, for political glory and personal self-aggrandizement, has compromised operational security. Take 22 minutes out of your busy schedule and watch as brave Americans explain the danger Obama and his flapping seals in the media pose to our republic.

Obama Sues to Suppress Military Vote

Tweet We really shouldn’t be surprised. Obama is a Chicago politician whose values include making sure that felons, illegal immigrants, and the dead have the right to vote—for the Democrat ticket. In a move that could have an impact on the final result of the presidential election, Barack Obama’s campaign has sued Ohio to block […]

Three Notable War Movies

Tweet There is no subject as well suited for the movies as war. In war there is conflict, love, and of course lots of explosions. Movies, someone once said, are just like life—with the boring parts cut out. Thus, movies about war delete the incredible boredom of most war-time experiences in favor of the hyper-drama […]

First Memorial for Jewish Chaplains

Roy P. Benevidez: Medal of Honor

Tweet I live in the failing state of California. From the once golden state I watch Barack Hussein Obama declare, like Willie Stark, a populist war against the financial institutions of this country. Obama’s budget is a fiscal nightmare that will bury this country in red ink for generations to come. Islamist terrorists are Mirandized […]

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.
