There is no question that Assad is a scoundrel. That is not in dispute. The problem with this action is the same as it was when Obama wanted to strike Assad: who benefits? The Assad regime said this strike “can only be described as short-sighted.” Right. The Islamic State (ISIS), although weakened, is still there. […]
Video: Harvard students say Trump is more dangerous than the Islamic State
This is the result of the relentless and ubiquitous hard-Left indoctrination that passes for education at Harvard and on virtually all university and college campuses today. If these students get the chance to see the Islamic State in action up close, which they very well might courtesy of the policies they themselves support, they will […]
Egyptian President Sisi: “Trump has true understanding of terrorism”
Sisi’s view of Trump is in stark contrast to his view of Obama, who notoriously supported and emboldened the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadists domestically and abroad. Breitbart reported last June about the MB’s fifth column infiltration of the White House, and Egyptians during the overthrow of the Brotherhood regime denounced Obama’s support for it. Following […]
Trump administration undertaking “critical review” of American airplane sales to Iran
Good. As I asked yesterday, “would Boeing have signed a deal to sell commercial jetliners to Nazi Germany?” “Airplane Sales to Iran Put Under Critical Review By Trump Admin,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 5, 2017: The Trump administration is undertaking a critical review of Obama administration-era policies permitting the sale of American […]
American Christian pastor imprisoned in Turkey asks Trump to fight for him
An American pastor who has been jailed on bogus terrorism charges in Turkey for more than five months is pleading with President Trump to help secure his release. Following the coup attempt, Turkey was said to be cracking down on Protestants. Aykan Erdemir, a senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a […]
Obama loyalists replaced “radical Islamic terrorism” with “violent extremism” in Trump’s immigration executive order
This was caught in time, but who did it? Have the responsible parties been fired? If not, why not? “Obama Admin Loyalists, Government Insiders Sabotage Trump White House,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, March 22, 2017: The Obama administration worked in its final weeks in office to undermine the incoming Trump White and continues […]
Why Never-Trump Politics Is Bad For Jews
I don’t like to say I told you so, but I told you so. On March 1, I wrote about the rash of bomb threats against Jewish targets in the US, which a large segment of the opposition media gleefully used to malign President Trump: The question this leaves me with is whose political agenda is served by […]
Khizr Khan now admits that Trump administration did not block him from attending Toronto event
According to a hadith, Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268) And the production of fake hate crimes, supposedly committed by “Islamophobes” and Trump supporters, and “Islamophobic” Trump supporters, is a growth industry. So it is no surprise at all that this victimhood propagandist would fabricate a claim that he was being illegally prevented from […]
Trump administration to boycott U.N. Human Rights Council over anti-Israel agenda
“Trump administration officials said the increased pressure on the U.N. is part of a larger effort by U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley to significantly reform the international organization and root out those who use it as a platform to push anti-Israel initiatives.” That’s extraordinary. If it succeeds, it will be a radical transformation of the UN […]
Robert Spencer: Why Is Donald Trump Doing This?
He didn’t have to subject himself to this abuse. My latest at The Geller Report: I have never met Donald Trump, and probably never will, but I have known him all my life. He was always part of the media landscape: the billionaire playboy, the scandals, Marla Maples, the bankruptcy, the comic grandiosity, the glamour […]
