It brings you the adoration of the establishment media, financial rewards, and in the Obama era, you might even have scored a visit with the President of the United States. And so now even non-Muslims are getting into the act. Victimhood […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 24, 2018 11:57 am

For decades, the establishment media had a virtually monopoly on the public discourse, and told Americans what they should believe about issues and individuals; now that monopoly is crumbling, and the Left’s fear and hysteria over losing its hegemony is palpable.

Toronto jihad murderer’s neighbors unaware of his “mental illness”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 24, 2018 08:52 am

This is odd. His family’s statement said: “Our son had severe mental health challenges, struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life….While we did our best to seek help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end.” One would think that […]
