Recommendable, and mostly correct! Dennis Prager omitted or forgot to mention that Arab countries and Iran have been using the Palestinians as pawns against Israel for decades.

Prager University: Your Pilot Is a DEI Hire. Say a prayer before you go on board next time!
Food for thought! Now tighten your seat belt!
"United Airlines set an aggressive diversity goal for their pilot training academy: at least 50% will be women or people of color. Shouldn’t the only requirement be competence? As a frequent flyer, Dennis has never looked at a female pilot and wondered if she’s qualified to fly a plane. But as airlines prioritize DEI quotas over our safety, is there cause for concern?"

Dennis Prager: Don’t Trust Your Conscience
Food for thought! I would not have used the language of Dennis Prager, but he is on to something! Conscience without e.g. the Ten Commandments (which Dennis did not mention) are without a compass!

Dennis Prager: COVID-19 and the colossal Failure of America’s Major Religions
This is a great commentary by Dennis Prager!
What Prager forgot or omitted to mention is that the major religions also completely failed to support those citizens who objected vaccination for religious reasons!
My main blog posts related to the Covid-19 global pandemic: Why SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 is a relatively harmless disease and why the cure was worse than the disease and why it became the biggest scandal of the 21st century!
"... Even more concerning has been the reactions of America’s great religions—specifically, Catholics, Protestants, Mormons (Latter-day Saints), and Jews. The government issued irrational (as well as anti-religious and unethical) edicts and nearly every church and synagogue obeyed.
These churches and synagogues closed their schools to in-classroom instruction despite the fact that COVID-19 presented virtually no threat to young people.
Exponentially more children have been hurt by closing religious and secular schools and, later, by making children wear masks—even outdoors—than by COVID-19. ...
Recently, some churches and synagogues told their congregants that children as young as 5 had to be vaccinated in order to attend services. It is immoral to give young children a COVID-19 vaccine for which we have no long-term safety data, and especially when children are not at risk from the virus. ...

It is immoral to give young children a COVID-19 vaccine for which we have no long-term safety data, and especially when children are not at risk from the virus. ...
Given the sheeplike behavior of so many of America’s religious leaders and institutions, the question is: Why?
There are both similar and different answers for each religion. The similar reasons are that most religious institutions and leaders have become largely indistinguishable from their secular counterparts. With the exception of attending church or synagogue, most Christians and Jews think and act like most secular Americans. ...
Or has religion largely become something that serves only to make adherents feel good? ...
On Aug. 12, 2021, the First Presidency [of Mormons] (whose president is, not surprisingly, a physician) released a statement saying, “We urge individuals to be vaccinated,” and, “We can win this war if everyone will follow the wise and thoughtful recommendations of medical experts and government leaders.” ...
One obvious answer is that most non-Orthodox Jews are on the left. And the left lives in fear (of COVID-19, of global warming, of secondhand smoke, of diving boards, and much else) and is prepared to subvert any freedom to assuage their fears. In any event, freedom is not a left-wing value ..."

Dennis Prager: The Left's Moral Compass Isn't Broken
Very recommendable and brief!
Prager omitted to point out that leftists are so fanatically convinced of the supremacy of their ideology that any crimes and morally evil deeds in their name are justified to achieve their ultimate goals.
Prager is a little bit sloppy in referencing his quotes and providing context. That is regrettable! E.g. when he quoted Nietzsche, he did not provide the context nor from which of Nietzsche's works he quoted from.
"It is left-wing dogma that a black person cannot be a racist. Only whites can be racist. And, indeed, all whites are racist.
It is increasingly a left-wing position that when blacks loot, they are only taking what they deserve, or, as the looters often put it, looted goods are “reparations.”"
I am afraid some black Americans think indeed that way! I just blogged here e.g. about slavery in Africa.

Our Dress Rehearsal for a Police State
Recommendable! Sometimes Dennis Prager is spot on! In this piece, Dennis Prager appears to be more outspoken and direct than usual! Indeed, facing a pandemic caused by a fairly harmless virus police states emerged in many Western countries to shut down much of the economy and to quarantine its citizens! This lesson should not be lossed on anyone!
Our Dress Rehearsal for a Police State: The federal, state, county, and city governments are now restricting almost every freedom except those of travel and speech, and police are enforcing it.

Dennis Prager: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
It is a great idea to present famous books in a short conversational format! However, it was my impression both men only scratched the surface of this book! I have to admit I never read it, but I am somewhat familiar with Frankl's biography and excerpts of his great book.
Frankl knew when other death camp prisoners would smoke their cigarettes it was their last meal as they had given up on their lives. I also have known that sometimes prisoners would intentionally touch the fence to commit suicide by electric shock.
