Stand up and take a bow, Chancellor Merkel. My latest in FrontPage: The facts at hand presumably speak for themselves, but a trifle more vulgarly, I suspect, than facts even usually do. The German-language news outlet Bild reported Monday that “the almost blind and handicapped ex-cook Helmut K. († 50) from Kaufbeuren made an appointment […]

Austria’s Kurz: Fight ‘ideological basis’ of terrorism. Merkel: It’s not a conflict between Islam and Christianity.
European leaders met in a video conference to coordinate the “fight against political Islam” and quickly made clear that their fight is foredoomed. “Kurz would like to fight above all the ideological basis behind the terror.” All right. But then Merkel “declared that terrorism is not a conflict between Islam and Christianity. ‘Every form of […]
Vienna jihad massacre: Boris Johnson and Macron are ‘shocked,’ Merkel says ‘Islamist terror’ is ‘the common enemy’
If Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron are really shocked by this, they haven’t been paying attention, and are willfully ignorant and/or misinformed about the motivating ideology behind jihad attacks and the beliefs of large numbers of the Muslims they’re bringing into Europe. And Merkel says “Islamist terror” is Europe’s “common enemy”? Then why has she […]
Merkel and Her Alleged ‘Support’ For Israel’s Security

In an interview for the September 13, 2013 edition of the Jewish Voice from Germany, Merkel – when asked about […]
Germans fear taking in Muslim migrants displaced by fire migrants started in camp will trigger new migrant wave
The German government is out of touch with its citizens, despite the fact that Germans keep electing the globalist Angela Merkel government. 62% of Germans “have expressed concern that the German government taking in large numbers of migrants from Greece after the Moria migrant camp fire could trigger a new wave of migration.” Plans for […]

Roughly 2,016,241 migrants entered Germany in 2015, many with the conviction that they had a model of society and governance that was superior to the German one, and that they would eventually replace the one with the other. But any concern about that, or about shocking levels of crime among migrants, indicating that many have […]

“75 years ago we stopped Hitler. Who will stop Angela Merkel? She has fulfilled Hitler’s dream! To control Europe,” wrote Michael Zammit Tabona.

Erdogan to hold migration summit with Merkel and Macron, but not Greece’s Mitsotakis
“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced he will be hosting a migration summit with French and German leaders but declined to invite Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.” One wonders what France’s Macron and Germany’s Merkel hope to accomplish, beyond an ego boost and an appearance of willingness to “negotiate.” The fact that Erdogan did […]
