Because, you see, “hope” must triumph over “fear.” My piece in FrontPage: Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has certainly turned American politics on its head. Has it ever happened before in American history that a political party began to frame legislation against an opposing candidate’s proposals before he was even elected – much […]
Trump: Cameron “not willing to address the problem” of Islamic terror
“We have a tremendous problem with radical Islamic terror. The world is blowing up and its not people from Sweden that’s doing the damage okay. So we have a real problem.” It’s amazing that after 9/11 and 7/7 and Fort Hood and Boston and Chattanooga and Garland and San Bernardino and Paris and Brussels and […]
Democrats introduce bill to oppose Trump’s proposed Muslim immigration ban
“Beyer said the legislation is an attempt to ‘appeal to hope rather than fear.’” In our pusillanimous and puerile age, “fear” is not just a weakness of character, but a moral flaw: if you fear being beheaded or blown up by Islamic jihadists, you’re an evil person. And to be sure, fear is never to […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Education of Donald Trump
The new golden boy of multicultural politics and Moderate Islam, Mayor Sadiq Khan of London, fresh from his electoral triumph, told an interviewer on May 13 that he would like to “educate” Donald Trump about Islam. Certainly Trump, like many of those who oppose him, could stand to be educated about Islam, but what he […]
Trump: Muslim ban ‘just a suggestion’
Trump’s backing off of this, which was quite clearly and definitely a policy proposal when he made it, suggests that he wilts under pressure, as the pressure on him for this has been intense indeed. In fact, this is why the Left has targeted his rallies and committed violence at them. This is why he […]
London’s Muslim mayor pledges to help Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump
“I think what we’ve shown — and I hope it’s a lesson that Hillary and others in America take on board, hope does ‘trump’ fear, forgive the pun.” How absolutely grand. The hard-Left routinely derides those who are concerned about jihad terrorism for their “fear,” as if being afraid of being murdered by Islamic jihadis […]
Hindu group asks gods to help Trump save humanity from Islamic terrorism
“The whole world is screaming against Islamic terrorism” — except, that is, virtually all the leaders of the Western world, who make it their top priority after every jihad terror attack to tell the public that the massacre had nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. “Divine intervention? Indian Hindus ask gods to help Trump,” Associated […]
London Muslim mayor’s veiled threat: “Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe”
Well, that didn’t take long. London elects a Muslim who opposes “extremism” as mayor, and almost immediately he issues a veiled threat: Trump must drop his “ignorant view of Islam,” i.e., he must change his stance regarding Muslim immigration, or else the U.S. and the U.K. will be less safe. So a temporary moratorium on […]
Sanders: I’ll do all I can to stop Trump’s ‘absurd, hateful’ Muslim ban
Hitler stopped emigration of Jews and kept them in Germany so he could kill them. Trump proposed a temporary ban on Muslim immigration so that jihadis won’t kill us. Clearly they’re the same thing. And those who vilify Trump for proposing this have never actually come up with any viable alternative proposal for keeping jihadis […]
Trump to Israel: Keep building settlements
The settlements are not really the obstacle to peace. They are on land set aside for the State of Israel by international agreement going back decades. They are on land, what’s more, that Israel won control of in war: Israel is the only country for which the right of conquest, universally recognized elsewhere, is not […]
