The Cancer That Is ObamaCare

Tweet In today’s WSJ editorial page, Stephen Blackwood details how ObamaCare made his mother’s excellent coverage illegal, even as she battles cancer. When I read this story, I was gripped by rage and sadness. Our son, Ariel Chaim ZT’L, battled cancer for eight long years. Our insurance coverage was excellent. Only once did the insurance […]

Democrats — Burning Down America

Tweet Conservatives believe that Democrats are delusional utopians. Democrats believe that conservatives are evil. My wife, Karen, and I were raised as lever-pulling New York Democrats. Why were we Democrats for so many years? Well, because our parents were Democrats. Why were our parents Democrats? Because, they told us, Democrats were for the little […]

Mona Liza — an Arab Christian and Israeli Soldier — Would Sacrifice Her Life for Israel

Tweet The Democrat party, via ObamaCare, is shredding the greatest health care system the world has ever known. In an interview with Bill O’Reilly, Obama revealed himself as a serial liar and immature kvetch who blames Fox News for his countless failures. Meanwhile, John Kerry, Obama’s secretary of state, whose primary talent is marrying immensely […]

Obama’s Perversion of Religious Liberty and Persecution of Religious People

Tweet Freedom of religion. We take it for granted. This past Friday evening, Karen lit candles, ushering in Shabbat.. Openly wearing my kippah,, I walked to shul and prayed with scores of friends and neighbors. After prayers, Karen and I sat down to a joyous dinner where we sang Shabbat songs and expressed gratitude to G-d […]

Murder in Gun-Free Zone… Again

Tweet You are a law-abiding citizen. You own a legally purchased firearm. When you are confronted with a sign like the one above, which is posted in the Maryland Mall, you obey the law. But the killer who is intent on murder sees that same sign and smiles, saying to himself: “Perfect place to kill.” […]

ObamaCare’s Bitter Medicine

Tweet ObamaCare is imploding. The ostensible reason for this Soviet style central plan was because, said President Obama: “I’m not going to walk away from 40 million people who have the chance to get health insurance for the first time.” The so-called 40 million uninsured was a fantasy number designed to enhance the notion that […]

Obama: ‘Racism Is Why My Approval Rating Is Down’

Tweet You just knew this was coming. President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine’s website today. “There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like […]

Praetorian Guard (AKA the FBI) Won’t File Charges Against IRS for Targeting Conservatives — Never Interviewed A Single Tea Party Group

Tweet The FBI—fast becoming Obama’s Praetorian Guard—will not file charges against the IRS for targeting conservative groups. However, the FBI never—that’s right, never!—interviewed a single Tea Party group. Sounds like the kind of due process normally used by totalitarian regimes. But for His Majesty Obama, the autocratic DNA of the Democrat party is in full flower. […]

Friday Footwear

Tweet ObamaCare is creating financial and healthcare instability for millions of Americans. Foreign governments have come to understand that Obama has no interest in asserting America’s dominant role in world affairs. Thus, our allies despair, even as IslamoNazis ruthlessly fill the void created by Obama’s policies of appeasement. In reaction to the prevailing political gloom, […]

Obama’s War Against Little Sisters of the Poor

Tweet As Orthodox Jews and Conservative Republicans, Karen and I have discovered that our values align closely with Conservative Christians of all denominations. In fact, Karen and I agree that we have far more in common with Conservative Christians than with liberal, secular Jews. Values transcend tribalism. I have a particular weakness for nuns. One […]

Walmart Health Plan Is Cheaper, Offers More Coverage Than ObamaCare

Tweet The left loves to hate Walmart. In fact, the hatred of Walmart reminds Seraphic Secret of Israel-bashers. Both are pathologically hysterical conditions based on lies and immune to facts. Opposition to Israel is Jew-hatred in disguise. Opposition to Walmart is, at the core, anti-free market Marxism. The left demonizes the retail chain at every […]

All Animals Are Equal, Unless They Are Democrat Animals

Tweet In George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” the pigs exert total control over the farm by passing one simple law: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Orwell’s novel was a devastating critique of Communism. But the Democrat party, with its totalitarian impulses no longer disguised or in check, are the […]

New York Business Survey Of Members, Not A Single One Says ObamaCare Lowers Costs

Tweet Here in California, Governor Brown has signed approximately 800 new laws and regulations. We cannot buy the light bulbs of our choice. We cannot purchase toilets that flush properly. We must install a conservation filter in showers which turn a powerful spray into a pathetic dribble. Now, when I go to my local grocery […]

2014: Here Comes The ObamaCare Tax Avalanche

Tweet Remember when Barack Obama swore up and down that the ObamaCare individual mandate was not a tax? Using sleazy-lawyer-speak, Obama called the ObamaCare tax, ahem, a penalty. Along came the Supreme Court and declared the individual mandate a tax. Surprise. That infamous decision allowed ObamaCare to become the law of the land. Obama lied. Again. […]

2013: It Was The Best of Times, It Was The Worst of Times

Tweet This past year has been terrible. On the domestic front, Obama’s political and personal pathologies dominate. I recently spoke with a close friend who is a fine, dedicated physician in a small private practice. He’s considering early retirement. “I don’t think I can continue practicing medicine under ObamaCare. It forces me to pay more […]

Obama Flees ObamaCare

Tweet Barack Obama’s personality is remarkably consistent. He is a classic narcissist. His self-absorption is already legendary in the bubble that is Washington D.C., even among his most ardent supporters. Classic narcissists display a tendency to blame others for their failures. Personal responsibility is a foreign shore. There is a complete inability to admit wrong, […]

ObamaCare Causes Liberals To Question Reality

Tweet From the Dec. 14, NY Times: Many in New York’s professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obama’s health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled and they may have to […]

ObamaCare’s Latest Surprise: Amputating Medicare

Tweet If Barack Obama were the CEO of a private corporation he would be: Fired for incompetence bordering on idiocy. Indicted by the SEC for fraud. Sent to jail for a very long time. Sued successfully by his investors for billions of dollars. However, because he’s a crooked politician, he is immune to all rational […]

ObamaCide: Blind in Left Eye, Five Strokes, Hole in Heart, Loses Insurance

Tweet Jim Hoft’s blog, Gateway Pundit, has been a daily read for Seraphic Secret for as long as we can remember. He is quite ill, and because of ObamaCare he has just lost his excellent health insurance. Keep in mind that the original rationale for ObamaCare was to provide health insurance to the uninsured.

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.
