Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), an otherwise completely obscure far-left backbencher, has just made a bid not to slide into total oblivion once he finally skulks out of the Capitol for the last time. He has filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, and while many other quixotic leftists have done that, Cohen has distinguished […]
The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked for another ceasefire, and President Donald Trump has said no. While Trump has actively sought ceasefires in the past, this time he had no patience for the Iranian demands, and that’s all to the good, as nothing good could possibly come from giving the Islamic Republic more time […]
The Israelis are monitoring the renewed activity of the Iranians at their nuclear facility inside Pickaxe Mountain, next to Natanz, and are planning a strike, should that prove necessary. More on that possible strike can be found here: “Israel ready to resume strikes on Iran as regime aims to rebuild nuclear program – report,” by […]
On Tuesday, British police confirmed the fears of Manchester’s Jewish community. Two men were arrested in the city center the night before Yom Kippur, on suspicion of plotting an imminent attack. The arrests and searches in Salford and Liverpool came just before the anniversary of the Heaton Park attack, when two worshippers were killed outside […]
Can you impersonate an impersonator? Can you impersonate an impersonator? That’s the question. While traditionally white leftists who wanted to fake a minority status pretended to be Native Americans, just ask Cherokee Senator Elizabeth Warren, since pretending to be black was more ambitious stuff for the likes of former NAACP President Rachel Dolezal, since Oct […]
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly with his characteristic directness and forthrightness, which had a particular impact in that hall of evasion, diversion, obfuscation and lies. He made it abundantly clear that the time for temporizing regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran is over, and he said that both he and […]
Many people over the years how the left, with its glorification of delusion and deviance, could possibly align with Islamic movements that disparage the West for the very hedonism and dissipation that the left idolizes. In this brisk, clear, and massively important new investigation of this peculiar coalition, The Red/Green Axis 3.0: America Wake Up […]
And shows the contempt Islamic groups have for the politicians they bribe. Last month, Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations revealed that the “Fiqh Council of North America issued a legal ruling (fatwah) in coordination with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America” that allowed Muslim charitable contributions or Zakat to be used for political donations. […]
The New York Times is upset with Israel — which tells you that today is a day ending with a y. This time, however, it’s not a fictional genocide or an equally fictional occupation that has the Paper of Record in a snit; instead, the Times is upset because the Israelis still think of themselves as the […]
It’s a mystery. It’s a mystery, that’s what it is. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is still without federal security clearance after nine months on the job — limiting his ability to be briefed on classified information involving terrorism or other threats to New York City. Mamdani on Monday tried to play down the lack of potentially crucial […]
Patriots have grown weary of the spectacle: President Donald Trump and numerous other patriots were the victims of bogus, politically motivated prosecutions designed to discredit and destroy them when they couldn’t be defeated at the ballot box. The Biden regime classified others as terrorists for the crime of being pro-life or a traditional Catholic, or […]
Will the left challenge this? Probably. As far as the socialist internationalists are concerned, the more jihadis are here, the better. The objective is to dissolve the national identity and make Americans more vulnerable; jihadis do an efficient job at that. “First use of Alien Terrorist Removal Court sends Afghan woman back after Election Day […]
Italian journalist Giulio Meotti sees the signs in Europe that, as he puts it, “the Caliphate has arrived”: “Mark my words: Europe’s Caliphate has arrived,” by Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, September 8, 2026: When you are sentenced to six months in prison for displaying a banner that says “Stop Islamization” as “incitement to hatred,” be […]
WATCH: RFK Jr. denounces ‘the toxic ideology of Islamism’ This is good to see. It’s much better than seeing George W. Bush reiterate that Islam is peace. But it still constitutes a refusal or inability to face the unpleasant truth. The desire to separate “Islamism” from “Islam” stems from nothing within Islam itself, but from […]
This is what colonization looks like. Muslim settler colonialism has spun out of control in the Bronx borough of New York City. The scandal went national when the Mamdani regime decided to list ‘immigrant neighborhoods’ heavily slanted towards Muslims while ignoring Little Italy and Irish and Jewish areas in the city. ‘Little Palestine’, ‘Little Pakistan’, ‘Little Yemen’, […]
