Trudeau said he would focus on governing “in such a way that reflects Canadians’ approach.” Trudeau also said: “The last thing Canadians expect is for me to come down and lecture another country on how they choose to govern themselves.” Oh really, Mr. Trudeau? One wonders what may have influenced Trudeau’s last-minute change of heart […]
77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since court blocked Trump ban come from the 7 countries on Trump’s list
What could possibly go wrong? This. “77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, February 9, 2017: The State Department has more than doubled the rate of refugees from Iraq, Syria and other suspect countries in the week since a federal judge’s reprieve, in […]
72 Muslims from countries covered by Trump ban convicted of terrorism
How many is too many? What number of Americans killed by jihadis is enough for the Left? Is there any limit that will make them say, “All right, now we have to call a halt to this” and restrict immigration? Or is open borders the unalterable goal no matter how many Americans die in jihad […]
U.S. Muslim groups, enraged by Trump, reject federal grants to fight “extremism”
These grants are a total waste of money in the first place, as they’re given to organizations that run programs such as youth basketball and job training, on the mistaken assumption that this will persuade young Muslims not to join jihad terror groups and become jihad terror groups. Anyway, the Islamic groups that were taking […]

Over at PJ Media I discuss what might happen if today’s establishment propaganda media were covering the rise of Hitler and National Socialism: What if World War II had been reported the way the establishment media writes about the global jihad today? The question is pertinent in light of the ongoing demonization of Trump adviser […]
EU boss says Brexit and Trump are “politics of paranoia,” should set alarm bells ringing across the West
“Europe is on the road to war,” according to European Commission first vice-president Frans Timmermans, who has declaraed that citizens have to “fight against the ‘politics of paranoia’ and the ‘disruptive forces of xenophobia, intolerance and illiberalism.’” He goes on: EUROPE must not repeat the mistakes of its violent and bloody past by embracing populism […]
Appeals court decision blocking Trump ban doesn’t even mention law empowering President to restrict immigration
The whole controversy turns on this law. It’s hard to see how any Presidential action restricting immigration can be overruled in light of it, as it specifies that “whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of […]
Trump administration releases list of terror suspect cases from travel ban countries
Leftists are not troubled by facts. Nevertheless, the facts are there. The appeals court ruling was nakedly political; it didn’t even bother to cite, much less attempt to explain away, the statute empowering the President to place restrictions on immigration. “Trump Admin Releases List of Terrorist Suspect Cases From Travel Ban Countries,” by Cameron Cawthorne, […]
Syria’s Assad: Some refugees are “definitely” terrorists
When Isikoff presses him about whether the terrorists constituted a significant percentage of the refugees, Assad noted correctly that the number didn’t matter, because a small number could do great damage, as on 9/11. Assad is right, of course, but his words will be dismissed as those of a bloody dictator, and misrepresented as if […]
