“The court heard Kocoglu had renounced Islamic State, had no prior offences and had not re-offended in the past five years and was not a threat to the Australian community.” A great deal is riding on Kocoglu’s being honest about this. Australian citizens can only hope that he is. Note also that Kocoglu is a […]
Video: Robert Spencer on the killing of al-Baghdadi and how the Left gets the terror threat wrong

My latest in PJ Media: The totalitarian tendencies of the Left become more obvious by the day, as the Washington Post continues to cover itself in glory.

Democrats: Jump. Republicans: How High?
My recent experiences with the Stupid Party. Two of my new articles from FrontPage: “Why Republicans are Called ‘The Stupid Party’: And why they’re losing.” I don’t know who coined the terms, but they couldn’t be more apt, and this becomes clearer every day: the Democrats are “The Evil Party,” and the Republicans are “The […]
Youth culture mag mocks UK student for raising money to sue uni that suspended him for opposing halal slaughter

Bernie Sanders Wants to Cut Aid for Israel and Give It to Hamas (Part 2)
Bernie Sanders does not appear to know that whatever “humanitarian crisis” there may be in Gaza, it is not Israel, but Hamas that has caused it. Hamas has harmed the Gazan Arabs in several ways. First, despite the fact that Gazans have received many billions of dollars in aid, the fantastic corruption of its leaders […]
Bernie Sanders Wants to Cut Aid for Israel and Give It to Hamas (Part 1)
The appalling tale is here. Addressing a meeting of the left-wing J Street, a Jewish organization devoted to pressuring Israel to meet Palestinian demands, Bernie Sanders outdid himself: “My solution is to say to Israel: you get $3.8 billion dollars every year, if you want military aid you’re going to have to fundamentally change your […]
