Why the UN Human Rights Council Has Outlived Its Usefulness
The UN Human Rights Council has added another arrow in its anti-Israel quiver. It is already committed, by its Agenda Item #7, to consider at every session the “human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories.” Now it has established a Commission of Inquiry (COI), to engage in an open-ended probe into […]
Turkish judge: ‘Women should not demonstrate against femicide’
Although Turkish human rights defenders were protesting the murder and abuse of women by men, the judge ranted on that “The number of men getting killed is double the number of women. So what? Should we also demonstrate?” “Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan withdrew Turkey from the convention on March 20, despite high statistics of […]
Kenya: Muslims murder six people and torch homes

You’ll Be Amazed at How Much of His ‘Presidency’ Biden Has Spent on Vacation
My latest in PJ Media: As of Tuesday, Old Joe Biden has been the ostensible president of the United States for 348 days. During 95 of those unhappy 348, however, the pretend president wasn’t even trying to keep up the pretense; instead, he was on vacation. That means that for a whopping 27.3% of his […]

Iran’s Khamenei Threatens Trump on Twitter, Twitter Yawns
My latest in PJ Media: On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted: “Martyr Soleimani is an eternal reality that will live on forever.

U.S. military spent $14 trillion in Afghanistan; those who benefited range from major manufacturers to entrepreneurs
Why did we stay in Afghanistan for twenty years, despite accomplishing less than nothing? For all too many people, the enterprise was just too profitable to give up. “Who Won in Afghanistan? Private Contractors: The U.S. military spent $14 trillion during two decades of war; those who benefited range from major manufacturers to entrepreneurs,” by […]
Iranian hackers hack two Israeli news outlets, leave warning: ‘We are close to you where you do not think about it’
The Islamic Republic regularly issues threats against Israel, and has been doing so for years. The Iranian regime, however, has not so far been able to match Israel’s feats in hacking into its nuclear sites and more. Whether they will be able to do so in the future, what with all the help and support […]
France: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ pushes man onto train tracks, is sent to mental hospital
Well, of course. What else could it possibly be but mental illness? “Paris: a mad pusher arrested in the metro,” translated from “Paris : un pousseur fou interpellé dans le métro,” by Julien Constant, Le Parisien, January 4, 2022 (thanks to Medforth): More fear than harm in the metro.
