Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis has a new insight. Judaism and Christianity are the only religions who share a holy book. That book is the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. Without that book the New Testament isn’t possible.

President Biden gave his second State of the Union speech last night. Apparently, everything is peachy keen in the country, all thanks to his benevolent leadership.

When a woman thinks she is not thin enough, is it for other women… or for men?  Women...
