By Robert Spencer on Dec 12, 2018 01:00 pm

Cherif Chekatt reminds Emmanuel Macron that climate change is not the only threat France faces. My latest in FrontPage: Emmanuel Macron, France’s youthful wunderkind, Europe’s poster child for globalism and socialism, has been absorbed lately with furious protests and riots over a confiscatory new tax he placed on gasoline in order to fight what he […]

Vox’s Zack Beauchamp goes full fascist, celebrates censorship of dissenters from Leftist agenda
By Robert Spencer on Dec 12, 2018 11:05 am

Last year the hard-Left “journalist” Zack Beauchamp wrote a windy and mendacious piece attacking various foes of jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others (including me). Now he is joining the Left’s gleeful vultures’ chorus over Milo Yiannopoulos’ financial woes, from which he happily concludes that “the controversial no-platforming tactics — […]

France: Strasbourg jihadi screamed “Allahu akbar,” Interior Minister still unsure he had “terrorist motivations”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 12, 2018 09:23 am

“Deputy Interior Minister Laurent Nunez earlier told Inter radio station that authorities could not confirm that the suspect had ‘terrorist motivations.'” Perhaps to admit the obvious would show Nuñez, and the French authorities in general, to be so catastrophically feckless and willfully ignorant that they just can’t bring themselves to do it.

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 12, 2018 08:00 am

“The growing anti-Semitism goes together with Islamic extremism, to which no one is paying attention.” Salvini also addressed the criticism of his visit to Israel, saying, “I don’t have to justify myself every time I go to Israel.” This should be understood and accepted by now, but the willfully blind are now bolder than ever […]
