There are parts of the world that don’t make good vacation destinations. And a good rule of thumb is that any place where a significant percentage of the population supports putting down “infidels” so that they learn their proper place, as the Koran commands, is not a good vacation spot. The beheading of 2 European…

The only credible argument that I have heard against the withdrawal from Syria is that we would be leaving the Kurds to the tender mercies of the genocidal Islamist regime in Turkey. But we have no realistic plan for the Kurds except staying there endlessly. Nor has our policy even been to support an independent…

Lefty orgs are the worst places to work for. This is case #580. There was Michael Moore, Ralph Nader and Bernie Sanders. And, now, Jesse Sharkey. The president of Chicago Teachers Union violated the rights of one of his own staffers just before taking over the helm of the labor giant, according to a ruling…

No surprises here. After The Tablet’s groundbreaking expose of the Women’s March’s anti-Semitic history, the group ha to respond. And it responded by bringing three leftist “Jewish” groups to try and shield them against allegations of anti-Semitism. The names are also fairly predictable. The Women’s March avoided the overtly “Jewish” lefty anti-Semitic groups like Jewish…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has one skill, saying anything that will get her attention. “It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, This comes from the same woman who was recently claiming that she couldn’t afford to live in…

The “Trump just refounded ISIS” meme is boomeranging around the media echo chamber. A few problems with it… 1. ISIS is still “founded”. It’s just more of a multinational terror network these days than a caliphate. It’s more like Al Qaeda and its physical footprint matters less. And that physical footprint is extremely unlikely to…

A militant abortion organization discriminating against pregnant women? Next thing you’ll tell me that the KKK doesn’t offer good working conditions for black people and that joining ISIS when you’re gay, doesn’t pay. Planned Parenthood, despite its name, is not exactly a fan of children. Unless they can be chopped up and resold for parts.…

The media is losing its mind over the Mattis resignation while treating the departure of one defense secretary as an unmitigated crisis. Barack Hussein Obama went through 4 secretaries of defense. (Not to mention multiple commanders who were forced out.) Three of his secretaries of defense, Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and Chuck Hagel left and…

Last time around, the GOP had a lot of primary talent, while the Dems were stuck Hillary Clinton with Bernie Sanders as an alternative losing option. This time around the Dems are facing primary elections that everyone wants to leap into like a heated pool on a cold winter day. And I do mean everyone.…

I didn’t like Mattis. After all the cult of personality gimmicks and quotes, his views on Islamic terrorism were disturbingly establishment. While he was an advocate for using greater force, which was good, he refused to address or to allow to be addressed, the central problem. And he went out of his way to pander…
