In a parting, spiteful shot at Israel, the Obama administration permitted a U.N. Security Council resolution to pass that seeks to permanently change the international legal status of so-called Israeli “settlements” in Jerusalem and the disputed West Bank. Departing from almost 50 years of bipartisan American precedent — and from the administration’s own past practice — the Obama administration abstained from a vote for the resolution demanding that Israel “cease all settlement activities” and declaring that all existing settlements were in “flagrant violation” of international law. Just yesterday the resolution appeared dead, as Egypt, the resolution’s original sponsor, withdrew it under pressure from the incoming Trump administration. The president-elect took the unusual step of injecting himself into a U.N. controversy before taking office precisely because the Obama foreign-policy team was broadcasting its intent to abstain. Incredibly, however, four nations with precisely zero security interests at stake in the Middle East — New Zealand, Malaysia, Venezuela, and Senegal — revived the resolution and forced a vote. The administration’s fecklessness has harmed Israel, endangers ordinary Israelis, and hurts the elusive quest for an enduring peace. Moreover, the Trump administration is powerless to revoke the resolution: It would have to introduce and pass a new resolution, and either Russia or China would be sure to veto it. Thus, Israel will find itself at the bargaining table in any future peace negotiation with Palestinian territorial demands backed by the U.N.’s most powerful body. By declaring that settlements — including “settlements” in Israel’s capital — violate international law, the resolution purports to carve into stone the armistice lines that existed at the end of Israel’s war for independence. Yet these lines didn’t become lawful permanent borders precisely because hostile Arab nations specifically refused to recognize the existing battle lines as Israel’s border, specifically declined to create a Palestinian state, and instead maintained a posture of armed hostility to Israel. Indeed, since the West Bank hasn’t been part of a sovereign nation since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the so-called occupied territories aren’t truly “occupied” under international law. They’re more accurately termed “disputed” territories, with the precise resolution of the dispute to be negotiated by the relevant parties. The administration’s fecklessness has harmed Israel, endangers ordinary Israelis, and hurts the elusive quest for an enduring peace. There are implications for ordinary Israelis as well. If an Israeli lives in a suburb of Jerusalem, is he or she now a criminal? Can he be arrested and tried in activist courts in Europe or in international legal tribunals? Radical U.N. action will only harden Palestinian intransigence and worsen already rising anti-Semitism (thinly disguised as anti-Zionism) on the international left. To put this radical resolution in context, under its terms, it is now an alleged violation of international law that the Western Wall remains in Israeli hands. It’s difficult to interpret the Obama administration’s actions as anything other than a parting shot at Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The Obama administration’s frustrations with the Netanyahu government are well known, but now was hardly the time to break with almost 50 years of American policy, and frustration or spite were hardly sufficient reasons. As Trump said in his statement, if there is to be peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, “it will only come through direct negotiations between the parties and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations.” The world will soon move on from Barack Obama, but he’s doing his best to extend his legacy of failure and appeasement. The Palestinians deserved a rebuke. Instead they received a gift. Our closest Middle Eastern ally will pay the price.

Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Thomas Hardiman appears to have a few advantages over other candidates, in the race to become President Trump's nominee — including a connection to Trump and Trump's private assessment that Hardiman might be the toughest judge he can get through the Senate. 'He's probably the most conservative judge that can get confirmed,' a well-placed source familiar with the deliberations quoted Trump as saying in a private meeting. Trump has also suggested that Senate Republicans use the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court justices, which would expand the window of viable judges by making it possible to confirm Trump's pick with just 51 votes. But even then, Hardiman would appear to have an advantage over another possible nominee, Eleventh Circuit Judge William Pryor. Pryor was confirmed to the lower court over the objections of Senate Democrats and one incumbent Republican, Maine Sen. Susan Collins, while another Republican, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, did not vote.

Editor’s Note: We honor our late former colleague, D. Keith Mano, by sharing over the next weeks several of his acclaimed columns, which were published in National Review every fortnight from 1972 to 1989. The following piece was first published in the February 13, 1987, issue, under the headline, “The Federalist Paper​.” You can still get a good education at Columbia – yes, and Soviet fishing trawlers still do fish. Nonetheless, in that maison tolérée of academic leftism, where political truth is found torso-murdered daily, one student publication had a shocking headline – Divest now in the USSR. This at Columbia, where all right-brain functions are lobotomized during freshman week: first major university to divest from South Africa. They call that one student publication The Federalist Paper (after Columbia alumni Hamilton and Jay) and Vol. I, No. I came out last October. Came out written in elegant, witty, temperate diction, with a fine sense of place and moral errand. FP’s molto is Veritas Non Erubiscit (Truth Doesn’t Blush). And, to quote the first Statement of Purpose, “it will not be shouted down.” These seven or eight young men who are reinventing conservatism at 116th Street and Broadway make up an extraordinary and diverse group. Brilliant, as you might suppose. But also mature and remarkably poised. They hold their audience in high and affectionate regard—that poor Columbia student intellectually lung-shot and left for dead by campus radicalism. Moreover, though their mean class level is sophomore-junior, they have considerable journalistic experience. Neil Gorsuch, Dean Pride, and A. Lawrence Levy were all associate editors of another conservative publication, The Morningside Review. “The Review.” Gorsuch said, “is more of a magazine. It addresses national and international issues, and it simply isn’t read on campus. What we’ve done here is try to establish something that has a broader base of interest. More people read The Federalist than ever read The Morningside Review.” Readership matters, of course—so much so that no one on the FP staff will admit to being conservative. This is in part, an honest distancing from Reaganism, Republicanism, Falwell, whatever. In part, too, it is careful policy. “If our first issue had been far right, we might’ve been written off before we got started,” board member P. T. Waters thought. “We try to show that you can be liberal as hell, but still disagree with all those crazy knee-jerk liberals out there.” And Levy took that up: “We’re just trying to be an alternative. At Columbia that usually means you’re right-wing or moderate-to-right, because the mainstream is so far left.” And yet issues one and two belong in a liberal phobia clinic. The Promise of SDI, for instance. Or The ANC is not the only solution. Plus an incisive repudiation of mandatory gay seminars for freshmen. Plus damning information about the Reverend William Starr, leftist Episcopal double agent on campus. Plus a vivid Month in Review short-take section, which imitates NR up front pretty consciously. Like so: CAPITALISM ON THE MOVE During recent Warsaw Pact maneuvers in Czechoslovakia, authorities discovered that four Soviet soldiers traded their tank to a tavern owner for 24 bottles of vodka, seven pounds of herring, and some pickles. The owner dismantled the lank and sold the pieces to a metal-recycling center. At Columbia they give you an equivalency diploma for that kind of reportage. Equivalent to ostracism. Problems of self-definition attend. “We’ve basically been sitting back,” Gorsuch admitted, “and reflecting on what the Left has said and using our month to review it. They choose the issues—South Africa, military recruitment on campus, pornography, SDI. But now I think we have to come out with something.” Waters concurred: “We’d like to change the debate, not just reflect it.” That will be more difficult. These are sharp and idiosyncratic minds from all over America: D.C, Colorado, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. The general atmosphere at FP might be characterized as center to right with a libertarian strain. From that composition, manifestos don’t quickly arise. “Reason why we can be so diverse.” said Gorsuch, “is that there is so much room to the right. It’s not a matter of having to be a conservative 10 be identified with the Right, it’s a matter of being a thinking man or woman.” It’s not a matter of having to be a conservative 10 be identified with the Right, it’s a matter of being a thinking man or woman. Response, so far, has been surprisingly positive. But the staff is vexed by a clause in the paper’s original Statement of Purpose: “FP will dismiss no work based on ideology.” With that generous visa, an energetic radical could subvert from inside. Waters asked, “Will we lose identity if we have leftist, albeit maybe intelligently argued, articles?” I think not. This access clause has lent FP credibility in an antagonistic environment. As long as the editors answer each leftist submission, argument for argument, in that same issue, they will secure nothing but honor from their, uh, liberal attitude. FP has committed itself to allowing opposition spokesmen a fair word. Not the final word. One advertisement aside, FP has received no financial support from the Institute for Educational Affairs (IEA) or any other source. These men know how to make a newspaper—and none of them has been bitten so far. “We spent S400 on that first issue.” Gorsuch said. “We paid for the second issue with advertisements. We are the cheapest publication IEA has come across. Eventually we’d like to get ourselves an office and buy $5,000.00 worth of computer equipment. If we had one Macintosh with a laser printer, we could publish on a much more regular basis.” “We’re looking to set up an endowment—we don’t need a $110,000-a-year operating budget like the Dartmouth Review. If we could have just $10,000 a year income, we could ensure the future of The Federalist.” And Pride said, “A lot of students are coming to Columbia now on the middle of the fence. There’s room for explosive growth.” I’ll let Neil Gorsuch finish. “We’re probably the last of these quote-unquote conservative journals to pop up on campuses. We’re going to be the last of this era and the most important. The place of this university is the nation’s campus debate is as progenitor of liberal causes. It all starts here. And The Federalist can focus and reshape campus debate in America for the next twenty years.” If you have a spare Macintosh, write me care of National Revew, and I’ll send you The Federalist’s address. — D. Keith Mano was a TV screenwriter and author of ten books, including Take 5, recipient of the 1987 Literary Lion award, and columnist at National Review magazine for 17 years.

Dental braces are a common orthodontic solution used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. This guide offers insights into their functionality and provides essential care tips for individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces. Tidental Understanding Dental Braces Dental braces are orthodontic devices designed to align and straighten teeth by exerting continuous pressure on them over time. They consist of various components such as brackets, archwires, and elastics. The primary goal of braces is to gradually move teeth into proper alignment, correcting issues like overcrowding, gaps, or irregular bites. Functionality of Dental Braces Components of Braces Brackets: Bonded to the teeth, brackets hold the archwires in place. Archwires: Threaded through the brackets, archwires provide the necessary pressure to move teeth. Elastics or Rubber Bands: These are used to correct bite alignment by applying additional pressure. How Braces Work Braces apply gentle, continuous pressure on teeth, encouraging them to shift gradually. Adjustments are made periodically to guide teeth into the desired position. Essential Care for Dental Braces Oral Hygiene Practices Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial. Regular brushing after meals and flossing between braces and teeth is essential to prevent plaque buildup and cavities. Teeth veneer cost Diet Modifications Avoiding sticky or hard foods that can damage braces is advisable. Opt for softer foods to prevent discomfort or damage to the braces. Regular Orthodontic Visits Scheduled appointments with the orthodontist are necessary for adjustments and monitoring the progress of the treatment.
