Fidel Castro is finally dead, and the old despot has left us with a parting gift: another demonstration of just how out of touch the American Left really is.

The “Hamilton” fiasco, with self-righteous Leftist cast members of the hit Broadway show berating Vice President-elect Mike Pence from the stage, brought to mind another New York event from 44 years ago, when entertainers – at least some of them – had a vastly different idea of their place in American culture.

[the_ad id=”81586″] Robert Spencer here. Pamela asked me to contribute a Bob Dylan post for tonight’s Friday Night Music entry, in honor of his Nobel Prize for Literature, and since Bob Dylan lyrics are essentially the Greek chorus for my life, I am happy to oblige. One of the ironies of this Nobel Prize selection,…

A Muslim stabbed ten non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that seldom, if ever, materializes after Islamic jihad attacks. And Minnesota’s governor is calling for…

UPDATE from Pamela Geller: “I have, for some time, been aware of the sleazy, fraudulent behavior of the Shoebats. Their material is unreliable and, in many cases, untrue. Their attacks and false accusations against other counter jihadists (myself included) in the past were unforgivable. But I did not publicly denounce them because this is a…

The 28-page section of the 9/11 report detailing Saudi involvement in the September 11, 2001 jihad attacks have finally been released (albeit with substantial portions still redacted), and it is now clear why one President who held hands with the Saudi King and another who bowed to him worked so hard all these years to…

The Islamic State (ISIS) attack in Medina shows once and for all that ISIS is not Islamic, right? After all, how could a Muslim group, much less a self-styled “caliphate,” set off a bomb in the city of Muhammad himself? That proves that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, no? That’s what many Muslims…

The left is peddling this lie at Obama’s instruction: “Statistics Show White Supremacy is a Bigger Threat to the U.S. Than Radical Muslims” This patently false claim is part of the ongoing Big Lie campaign to try to downplay and minimize the jihad threat. It first surfaced in June, and in wake of the Oregon…

Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Mind you, while the sharia-compliant president was bloviating at the UN, another major city in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and the House Committee on Homeland Security released a blockbuster report that called the thousands of foreign fighters who…

Hamas-linked CAIR announced in a press release that it “today announced the renewal of its ‘Share the Quran’ campaign in response to Republican candidate Ben Carson’s false claim that Islam is ‘inconsistent’ with the Constitution.” Great idea! I’m all for the public’s having a better understanding of the Qur’an. People will read the Qur’an and…

Teen Vogue is just that: a magazine for teenage girls. Articles featured on its front page today include “Justin Bieber and Sam Smith Are Already Listening to Tori Kelly’s New Album, and You Should Be, Too”; “The 35 Coolest Back-to-School Backpacks”; “7 Desserts That Require No Baking At All”; “The Complete Guide to Washing Your…

The articles come almost daily now: Muslim (and non-Muslim) authorities assuring us that what the Islamic State and other jihad terrorists do — mass murders, beheadings, rapes, destruction — has nothing do with Islam, despite the jihadis’ quotations of the Qur’an and screams of “Allahu akbar.” And every day, mainstream outlets such as Newsweek here…

Note from Pamela Geller: Earlier today, Secretary of State John Kerry heralded the Saudi clerics’ “fatwa against terrorism” as if it were some magic wand that would validate Kerry’s absurd remarks on how Islam is a religion of peace. This is Saudi Arabia’s contribution to Obama’s phantom coalition. The Sauds want the infidel to fight…
