In part of the world’s mightiest Empire, far from the Empire’s capital, what started as a revolt against unjust tax laws turned into a revolution in the name of independence from the oppression of foreign monarchs and reclamation of the inalienable rights endowed upon them by the Creator.
Colonel Fred V. Cherry, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), the first and highest ranking black American POW of the Vietnam War, passed away this month. The Communists wanted to use him for propaganda, but he would not cooperate.
Ukraine – which, under attack by Putin’s Russia, was not able to attend Eurovision 2015 – has chosen to submit to Eurovision 2016 a Crimean-Tatar song about the 1944 forced deportation of the entire population of Crimea’s native Tatar people by the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin.
Communist China isn’t happy with Ted Cruz. For months, Cruz has been proposing legislation that “would rename a part of the street across from China’s embassy after a pro-democracy activist,” Liu Xiaobo. Xiaobo was arrested in China in 2008 after authoring a Pro-Democracy, Pro-Human Rights manifesto, and is the only Nobel laureate in prison today.
Over the past weekend, Greek farmers and others held a massive, (mostly) non violent flag waving, anti-tax, anti-price control, anti-pension payout cuts, protest in Athens. Tens of thousands of farmers from all over Greece traveled to Athens to rally in
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has been, since its reconstitution during WWII, an instrument of the state.
My cousin, Kyriakos, was just elected leader of the conservative New Democracy party.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Michael Scuse, who led a trade mission of representatives from nine state departments of agriculture and 28 U.S. companies to northeast China in 2014, announced that United States ethanol exports to China have increased exponentially.
That the Russians have turned to Orwell is quite telling. They know totalitarianism when they see it.
Back in 2002, in the dark ages before Breitbart News Network, the great conservative commentator Ben Shapiro warned that the United States must “Keep an eye on Russia,” because “Russia is renewing her relations with America’s enemies.” Shapiro reiterated his message in 2007, warning America that “Russia isn’t to be trusted.”
In an casual remark, inserted in the middle of a story, New York Times reporter Matt Flegenheimer conflated Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz with the segregationist former Alabama Democratic Governor, George Wallace.
In his remarks to Sen. Ted Cruz’s Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness hearing concerning ongoing attempts to silence dissenters to climate change dogma, Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts—one of the greatest enemies of free speech in government today—made an analogy between the threat of communism and climate change.
New York’s Top Democrats have identified the causes of the mass opposition to illegal immigration and Syrian resettlement: Anger, fear, and Ronald Reagan’s 1980 election.
In contrast to the United States, the Russian regime of Vladimir Putin does not see Hamas and Hezbollah as genocidal terrorist organizations bent on a second holocaust, but as democratic and “legitimate societal-political forces” that they can get along with.
Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz has released a statement on the Paris terror attacks making clear that radical Islamism “will not be appeased by outreach or declarations of tolerance” and that the United States “must make it crystal clear that affiliation with ISIS and related terrorist groups brings with it the undying enmity of America—that it is, in effect, signing your own death warrant.”
The “Pledge” states that “…No corner of the planet and no sector of the global economy will remain unaffected by climate change in the years ahead. Climate change is a global challenge that demands a global response, and President Obama is committed to leading the fight.” It commits the signatories to:
A former colleague of Dr. Ben Carson recalled being told the story of the future presidential candidate’s botched attempt to stab a boy in 1987, before Carson’s fame carried the story to a wider audience through his autobiography and movie adaptation.
Despite what the Left may think, Trump is not just shooting off his mouth when it comes to China. He speaks from personal experience, and his thinking is being influenced by two of the greatest and most experienced minds in all things China. They are Brett Decker and William Triplett II, the authors of Bowing to Beijing: How Barack Obama Is Hastening America’s Decline and Ushering a Century of Chinese Domination (2011).
On the occasion of the centenary of Arthur Miller’s birth, Paul Kengor has published a major exposé of Miller’s dedication to communism in the American Spectator.
This book is everything detestable about the Left all rolled into one: class-warfare, political correctness, race baiting, double standards, arrogant self-righteousness, condescending pseudo-elitism, false pseudo-intellectualism, socialist amateur economic innuendo, and of course the Left’s signature, bottomless capacity for vile demonization.
Earlier this month, coinciding with the seventh anniversary of Russia’s war on Georgia, Dmitri Shashkin, former Georgian defense minister, revealed the role of the Bush administration in stopping the Russian invaders from conquering the whole of the former Soviet Captive Nation.
NEW YORK, New York—Demonstrators waving American and Israeli flags gathered in front of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s midtown Manhattan office Tuesday evening to protest her support for the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran.
Ten Congressional Democrats who support the Iran nuclear deal have taken money from pro-Iranian regime lobbyists with ties to the Iranian government.
On August 24, 2015, Ukraine celebrated 24 years of independence from the Soviet Union. A few days before the anniversary, as reported by Paul Goble on his blog, one of the leaders of that struggle, Ivan Drach, described as “the poet who headed the Rukh organization from 1989 to 1992,” spoke with Ukraine’s Novy Region-2 about those road to independence.
The bonds that bind America to the Jewish people and the Jewish state of Israel are comparable only to the bonds between brothers–with a common heritage of the struggle for freedom forging a shared commitment to liberty, tolerance, and democracy. This is why our enemies are the same. This is why the forces of evil do not discriminate between us. It is, however, also true that common foes often mean common defenders. This is the case with David Horowitz in Islamo-Fascism and the War Against the Jews, Volume IV of The Black Book of the American Left.
Though long denied by supporters of the Islamic regime in Iran and Palestinian terrorist organizations, the connection between the these entities has been confirmed by Iran’s “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Since the August 3 passing of Robert Conquest, the famed scholar of Stalin’s crimes, testimony has emerged that he played a critical role in the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu’s Communist regime in Romania.
Robert Conquest – who, more than any other man in the West, documented the scale and gravity of Stalin’s crimes – has passed. What he accomplished is nothing short of scholarly proof that the Soviet Union was indeed an Evil Empire.
The attacks of 9/11 are what made me a Conservative. I have never forgotten that there are evil people who follow totalitarian creeds and wish to do us harm. My grandfather, a World War II veteran, had told me about the need to defend freedom and the sacrifices it would entail. To see my country come under attack made my grandfather’s warning much more than an abstraction.
Lying is a virtue. That is a concept that the major forces of anti-Semitism in the world – Leftists and Jihadists – share. A leading Sandinista official once described the Marxist-Leninist doctrine of Revolutionary Truth as “What is true is what serves the ends of the revolution.” The Jihadist doctrine of Taqiyya is no different.
It is a classic Leftist tactic – take something the person did or said, lie about it, make it into a huge deal, and use it to discredit them. It is also a Leftist tradition to bury any independent thinkers on their side the moment they express disagreement.
There is a memorial that most Americans are not likely to know of, and one that few Americans have likely visited. This is because this memorial – dedicated to brave American soldiers who gave their lives to liberate the oppressed – is in Cuba. It is a monument to the Americans who fell in the battle of Santiago de Cuba, the decisive event that secured Cuban independence from Spain.
On the day a NYPD officer was killed in the line of duty, the Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter” celebrates another cop-killer.
When I travelled for two weeks in working class areas of Cuba last year, a Cuban worker explained to me that while they hear endlessly from the government about the “American embargo against Cuba,” the real problem is the “internal embargo”—the embargo that the government elite has imposed on the Cuban people to keep them from participating in the economies of the elite and the outside world.
The A.J. Mustie Institute, named after a famous pacifist, started with the express purpose of “supporting nonviolence and social justice.” Now, the institute has a new executive director and has sent out a fundraising letter from convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. The letter includes a 2013 photo of the new director, Heidi Boghosian, and Mumia sharing beaming smiles and a hug.
During CPAC, Spyridon Mitsotakis of Breitbart News caught up with Katie Kieffer, author of “Let Me Be Clear.” The title turns Barack Obama’s famous catchphrase against him.
In 1993, Rudy Giuliani defeated incumbent Mayor David Dinkins on a tough crime-fighting and welfare-to-work platform. The life-long New York intellectual Norman Podhoretz, reflecting on this moment in 1999, wrote that “neither I nor anyone else ever dreamed that the new mayor — or any other person occupying that office — would be able to turn the city around, let alone that he would do so almost overnight. How wrong we were!”
Breitbart News interviewed Liz Long, author of “The Constitution: It’s the OS for the US,” at CPAC 2015. She explained how the Constitution (when operating properly) could be compared to a computer operating system that makes all of it’s parts
Deb Leticia Gordils, chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Illinois, was interviewed by Breitbart News Network at the Conservative Political Action Conference last week about her successful Spanish language conservative newspaper El Sueno Americano. “The litmus test for whether or not
Gerardo Hernandez, a spy for Communist Cuba and the man responsible for the murder of four humanitarian workers (three of whom were American citizens) over international waters, was freed from prison last year by the Obama administration, due in part to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
