Yes, we have really descended to this level of evil absurdity.

Sittarh Mazhar Khan, a Muslim woman in Kingwood, Texas, a section of Houston, “is accused of beating, choking, and burning her 14-year-old daughter in October of last year.” At a hearing on her case, an officer explained that “the defendant, upset the complainant did not wear her hijab at school, beat and choked the complainant, causing her to lose consciousness.”

Now the proxy war that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been fighting against the state of Israel is out in the open, as Iran rained rockets and drones upon Israel Saturday night. The attack had little effect, but as events unfold, however, one overarching fact remains paramount: none of this would be happening if it weren’t for Old Joe Biden’s determination to appease and enable the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This story is as horrific as many others like it, but generally they take place in Muslim-majority countries and receive little, of any, notice in the West. In this case, Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim cleansed his family’s honor not back home in Somalia, but in ostensibly civilized Sweden, and the news has traveled far and wide. But will anything be done to protect women in Sweden or anywhere else against this sort of thing? Come on, man!

This claim is not only absurd; it’s a classic case of projection. The American republic (it’s not a democracy, kids) is indeed in serious danger, but the danger is coming from those who are claiming that they are trying to save it from Trump.

Every aspect of this story is bad, and each horrifying aspect is competing with the others for which can have the most negative consequences for the American people. After Jews suffered attacks in Chicago, the Biden regime reached out not to Jewish leaders, but to Muslim groups, including open supporters of Hamas. The Muslims, however, enraged at the regime’s continued (albeit hollow) support for Israel, refused to show.

A calculated insult to a Jewish man with whom Biden has been publicly at odds. To put into perspective how odd this is, imagine if Trump had told Netanyahu that they had to have a “come to Jesus meeting,” or made the sign of the cross while sitting right next to him.

Note also that Biden didn’t make the sign of the cross when he met with his friend Mahmoud Abbas, or tell him that they had to have a “come to Jesus meeting.” What’s more, Biden has made the sign of the cross more than once in the context of denouncing his enemies.

Will Europe embrace and defend the freedom of expression or blasphemy laws? And once Europe makes its choice, what will the United States of America do in turn about the same issue? The showdown is coming in Europe, and it’s coming quickly. Sweden has ordered Salwan Momika, an Iraqi freedom fighter who has burned the…

The Paper of Record shows no sign of firing Masoud or returning the George Polk award he won, but the Jerusalem Post had the story on Thursday, noting that the media watchdog Honest Reporting had “highlighted his accreditation to a photo provided to the Associated Press, with the caption, ‘Palestinians wave their national flag and celebrate by a destroyed Israeli tank at the Gaza Strip fence east of Khan Younis southern Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023.’

No sooner had Martin Griffiths, the UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, declared that Hamas was not a terrorist group than it came it light that at least 30 UNRWA employees actively participated in Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis. So now we see: of course Hamas isn’t a terror group. It’s a UN agency.

After he went down in flames in Thursday evening’s ill-advised and unscheduled press conference, the whole world knows (if it didn’t know already) that Old Joe Biden is not fit to be president of the United States. But like the Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda, who refused to believe that World War II was over and held out for nearly third years in the Philippines jungle, there is one holdout who still insists that Biden is fit, competent, and ready to wreak more havoc upon the nation until Jan. 20, 2029: Rachel Maddow.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is one of the most corrupt, sinister, and dishonest organizations of any kind operating anywhere in the world today, and finally the West appears to be waking to that:

Agence France-Presse (AFP), founded in 1835, is the world’s oldest news agency, which means that there was a time when it was not simply a propaganda arm for the far-left and its allies. But as is the case with other once-respected news outlets all over the West, the days of AFP’s independence and objectivity are long past. A recent AFP story about vigilante punishment of a “blasphemer” in Norway demonstrates that.

Saroya is a Sharia-observant, hijab-wearing Muslim. Saroya said that CAIR had an “unfortunate record of sanctioning and indulging serious allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination within its organization, retaliating against women who raise these issues and engaging in profoundly dishonest conduct vis a vis the public, the Muslim-American Community and even its own Board.” She added: “CAIR’s defamatory statements about me were intended to intimidate not just me but others like me.”

Nuts. This “lasting solution” has been offered to the Palestinians numerous times, and they have always rejected it. Not only has it never worked, but it never will work, as it fails to take note of one of the most important elements of the conflict.

Imagine if a Jewish or Christian cleric in any Western nation preached a sermon in which he declared that Muslims were “bloodthirsty,” as well as cowardly and treacherous. The outcry would be immediate and immense. Commissions would be established to study “Islamophobia” and determine its remedies, which would inevitably involve more government control over speech.

What would happen if the educational system of a large, highly developed superpower were turned over for half a century to the mortal enemies of everything that nation stood for? This isn’t rocket science. The obvious result would be that a generation (or more) of young people would grow up loving that nation’s enemies and hating its heroes. And here we are.

Christmas used to be the season of joy, hope, and renewal, but all that is so pre-October 7. The new Christmas spirit is one of lies, rage, and hate. In that new spirit of the woke twenty-first century victimhood Christmas, the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem has set out a figure of the baby Jesus not in the traditional cradle in a manger, but surrounded by rubble meant to indicate buildings destroyed by the Israelis. Because nothing says Christmas more beautifully than hating Jews, right?

In Old Joe Biden’s America, those who hate the country and want to see it radically “transformed” into a state without borders, the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms and other annoying obstacles to socialist internationalism, are in the driver’s seat. And they’re raking in millions.

The Left’s Long March Through the Institutions has been a resounding success. Most of our nation’s colleges and universities, including — indeed, especially — those who enjoy an outsize influence on American politics and culture, have long ago ceased to be centers of higher learning and have become centers of far-Left indoctrination. Marxist sloganeering and…

The ceasefire charade is over for now, Hamas has had a chance to regroup, and the Israelis are determined now to finish the job and destroy the threat from the bloodthirsty jihad group forever. The Biden regime, however, is telling them to ease up, and let Hamas live to kill more Israeli civilians on another day. In light of the heavy pressure the regime has been receiving from its far-Left base, and its anti-Israel stance from the beginning, this is no surprise.

After Hamas’ massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, all the various factions of the world rushed to show how much they loved and admired not the victims of the attacks, and certainly not the state that they lived in, but instead, the belief system and ideology that inspired and motivated the attacks themselves: Islam. Left, right, and center, everybody loves Islam now, and that love is growing more intense by the day.

Make no mistake: this is a threat of a new genocide of the Jews.

“CNN cannot independently confirm that it was an Israeli strike. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it could not comment without coordinates of the house. The family declined to provide CNN with the coordinates for fear of reprisal.” There you have it. Even if this did happen, were any members of the family Hamas jihadis?…

Those people certainly believe that they are fighting a war of Muslims against Jews. Does Herzog really do anyone any good by denying this?

The day after Hamas’ bloody Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, a Hamas top dog, Ali Baraka, appeared triumphantly on Russia Today to crow about how the jihadis fooled Israeli authorities into complacency as they plotted the mass murder of Israeli civilians. Amid his boasting and patting himself on the back, he expressed a desire to trade American hostages that Hamas seized during its massacres for members of Hamas who are imprisoned in the U.S. Most Americans have no idea that there are Hamas members in American prisoners, but there are: they are former officials of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

On the morning of Oct. 18, 2023, I received this email from YouTube:

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, “There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.”

The jihad terror group Hamas is dedicated to the complete destruction of Israel, and so has launched many attacks against the world’s sole Jewish state, but none have been so large-scale and bloodthirsty as the one that began Saturday.

While the Biden regime hunts for “white supremacist terrorists,” the jihad continues. Portland, Maine’s WMTW reported Thursday that “the Wells man accused of attacking police in New York City near Times Square with a machete on New Year’s Eve is now scheduled to stand trial on federal charges in March 2024.” The “Wells man” is…

Two years later, people are still paying the price for the catastrophe of Old Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. And people will be paying the price for decades to come.

Having received funding from two of the foremost exponents of the global jihad, is Ilhan Omar now representing the interests of that jihad in the Congress of the United States? What are Qatar and Pakistan getting for their money?

How far we have come for the rights of women in America!

It is by now abundantly clear that the Jan. 6 “insurrection” was not the work of Trump supporters, but of Leftist plants in the crowd at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, directed by feds who were avid to frame and destroy Trump. Any lingering doubt about this has now been put definitively to rest by the revelation that the self-righteous apparatchiks who ran the House Jan. 6 Committee show trial did not preserve mountains of evidence that apparently disproved the left’s official narrative about what happened on that fateful day. Like the Stalinists they are, it looks as if they framed their enemies and then destroyed the evidence of their own crime.

His remarks were entirely consistent with Islamic teaching about Jews. That means we’re going to see a great deal more of this in the America that the Left has made.

The Biden regime is so sold out to the prevailing social contagion that has men thinking they can become women and women likewise deluded into believing they can become men that it is offering special treatment and outrageous perks to military service members who “identify as transgender.”

It’s noteworthy, however, that she doesn’t have the same burning hatred for some of the world’s most notorious aiders and enablers of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and religious minorities.

It was an extraordinary yet now forgotten event: on July 15, 1967, NBC gave New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison nearly half an hour to rebut an earlier NBC show that had criticized how Garrison had conducted an investigation of people he thought were involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The segment was extraordinarily because today we are accustomed to the major news outlets only allowing one point of view to be heard.

With Fetterman and Biden, we have entered the age of Government by the Wizard of Oz: the man behind the curtain controls everything, although we don’t actually know who the man behind the curtain is. The establishment media dutifully plays along, never asking any uncomfortable questions, and maintaining the illusion that these empty-minded figureheads are actually making their own decisions.

“If I put on my Jewish hat,” Lipstadt added, “you and I both come from a tradition that believes in forgiveness.” Here again, such generosity of spirit is extended in only one direction. Neither Lipstadt nor anyone else is talking about “forgiveness” for the regime’s bogeymen, from Donald Trump to “MAGA Republicans” to organizations (like ours) that oppose antisemitism but are not Leftist.

It has been one of the quickest vanishing acts ever: a Syrian migrant in the French city of Annecy stabbed several young children on Thursday, and video of the horrific act quickly circulated on Twitter.

. This is just the latest example of a striking and unmistakable fact: in the face of being exposed as the totalitarians and enemies of the freedom of speech that they are, the Leftist elites have not retreated in the slightest, or made any effort to cover up their actions. Instead, they’re more open and unapologetic than ever about their attempt to destroy the freedom of expression, which is the indispensable foundation of any free society.

How did they ever get this through?

A recent Supreme Court ruling demonstrates that patriots’ hope that the Court will stop the Left from trampling upon all our freedoms may be ill-advised. The Court has just sided with Big Tech when it had a chance to force the social media giants to some accountability.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is one of the Left’s premier, well-heeled, and most dishonest and ruthless attack dogs.

Old Joe Biden gave the commencement address at Howard University on Saturday, and as he has done so many times during his presidency, he stoked the flames of racial hatred, resentment, division, and mutual suspicion.

A new inspector general’s report released Tuesday gives us the latest evidence of the perfidy and anti-Americanism of the Biden regime: even after the Taliban took over in that country in the wake of the regime’s catastrophically botched withdrawal of American troops, the American taxpayer remains the world’s largest donor to Afghanistan.
