I was amazed when I listened at NPR on March 10, because on every newscast all day long up until 4 p.m. — I tuned into NPR on every hour, just to check — the first or second story was not about the more than 1,000 Alawite civilians murdered in Latakia, or the massacres in […]
Hamas-Supporting Student Finally Gets Visa Revoked
A good start. A journey of a million miles begins with but a single step. Deporting terrorist supporters from this country begins, hopefully, with one single foreign student.
