I just got a look at part of an incendiary brochure produced by the Institute of Islamic Information and Education (Chicago, Illinois) that’s being made available to military prisoners at the US Disciplinary Barracks Prison at Fort Leavenworth. What is

I happen to like Matt Taibbi’s writing chops. Indeed, were I a member of the left-wing intelligentsia whose definition of journalism is to first come up with a thesis and then go off in search of evidence to support it

So along with Jon Stewart’s rally happening this Saturday, there will be a smaller group of people planning to march – they being young federal employees fed up with their reputations as loafers and losers. Organizers call it the “Government

There is perhaps no greater mystery than what happens to each of us after we die, and in a healthy family, perhaps no greater love than that between its members. Two new films of uncommon depth and emotional power tackle

Marxism/communism is the economic interpretation of history. The state must control sources of production and assets. Fidel began his Revolution by expropriating the sources of production and private assets in Cuba, including major US citizen’s assets. The United States retaliated

According to Nikki Finke, Universal sent a trailer of the upcoming film The Dilemma, directed by Ron Howard and starring Vince Vaughn, to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in order to get their blessing. Universal claims that

GLAAD is just one of those organizations like PETA that you can’t help but feel sorry for. Their stars are waning; their time has passed. PETA can only grab a headline if they cough up enough money for some D-lister

Michele Bachmann and her husband have taken in 23 foster children and have five kids of their own. Congresswoman Bachmann is one of Congress’ leading advocates for foster and adopted children. Until now, this had garnered her universal praise.

This Thursday, October 14, 2010, glam rocker Adam Lambert has a concert scheduled in Malaysia. However, there’s a catch: Homosexuality is a crime in Malaysia, where Muslims are in an uproar because Lambert is a poster-child for gay flamboyance. (The

No matter how famous he became, no matter how much money he earned, Tony Curtis was always Bernard Schwartz, an insecure and damaged Jewish kid from the Bronx. As the son of Hungarian-Jewish immigrants, Curtis didn’t speak English until he

Earlier today (October 2nd) the Dutch politician Geert Wilders gave a major speech in Berlin. He was invited to speak to an audience of about five hundred people, under the sponsorship of René Stadtkewitz and his new political party, Die

The Texas Board of Education issued a press release, Friday 9/24/10, which included a self-described “most debated item on the board’s Friday agenda”–a non-binding resolution that barely passed by a 7-6 vote, with two members absent. The resolution concludes with

Writing at The American Thinker blog, Mladen Andrijasevic worries, appropriately, that not enough attention is being paid to the Team B II report presented last week, “Shariah: The Threat to America,” by those opposed, ostensibly, to the imposition of Sharia–the

Not a trace of 9/11 World Trade Tower hero Rick Rescorla was recovered. Homeland Security needs to analyze his special DNA for that missing link in our anti-terror attack strategy. Men with the uncanny ability – personified by Rescorla –

Hat tip to The Religion of Peace, the most comprehensive clearinghouse of jihad-related news. Although this Daily Mail investigation is largely fixated on the “animal cruelty” aspect of the story, the findings provide another disturbing example of Britain’s steady Islamization,

Shariah – the law derived from Islam’s foundational documents – defines the Islamic doctrine of the universal obligation to jihad against non-believers. The question is, What is meant by “jihad”? Is it merely a personal struggle to sacrifice for God

At the recent press conference on Team B II’s report, Shariah: The Threat to America, a reporter from UPI asked the following question: I’ve always thought Shariah was a body of Islamic religious law much like Jewish Halacha, governing peoples’

If you enjoy the halting, semi-detached, half-ironic, superior snark-enese spoken by that “endearingly off-beat” and shockingly pale woman who runs the Kubrick-ian retail store that serves as the set for those Progressive Insurance commercials, you might make it through “Easy

Few franchises have had a steeper fall than the Alien series. In 1992 Alien3 appeared to near-universal derision. James Cameron nailed the essential problem when he said, “[director David] Fincher pissed me off by killing off Newt, Hicks, and Bishop,

An editorial in Bahrain’s Gulf Daily News chides Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad essentially for being a loudmouth. The editorial quotes Ynet reports of provocative statements by Ahmadinejad — Israel is “too weak” to handle an offensive in Iran, and he

So AP writer Allen Breed begins his recent mosque piece by defining the word, “tolerance.” It’s a traditional rhetorical device, one learned back in sixth grade while plagiarizing the Encyclopedia Britannica. His piece focuses on religion, of course, – but

Here are the facts of the attack from New York Police Commissioner Kelly: Naturally, the temptation would be to think this psychopath was fervently opposed to the Ground Zero Mosque, but not so fast. From the Village Voice: Michael Enright

The rally to protest the mosque planned as a trophy marking a Muslim victory and beach head in infidel country was a lively affair. And yes I truly believe that the Imam and his friends planning this Islamic YMCA mean

According to the website CNN.com, some of the criticism of first lady Michelle Obama is driven by partisan politics. However, “others say the attacks are rooted in white resentment of the “uppity Negro.” Two things quickly come to mind. The
