What Exactly Is Wrong with a President Putting America First? My latest in PJ Media: Today is the day we ostensibly remember the American presidents, and as it comes around this year we all know that to say “America First” is racist, anti-Semitic, and evil in all kinds of other ways, and that the best U.S. presidents have been those who were most respected around […] Read more 2020-02-19  •  Robert Spencer Florida: 17-year-old boy converts to Islam, slits throat of 13-year-old, killing him for mocking his new religion The family of the victim is suing Publix for selling Corey Johnson the knife, violating a Florida law that prohibits the sale of knives to anyone under age 18. That’s all well and good, but how many people even know that this incident happened at all? The murder of Jovanni Alexander Sierra should have been […] Read more 2020-02-19  •  Robert Spencer Where Would Rep. Omar Get $250,000 for an Adultery Payoff to Ex? It’s the Daily Mail so take it with a grain of salt. But it’s the numbers more than the adultery that interests me. We know Rep.

How the “interpreter” scam brought 75,000 Iraqis and Afghans to the US The latest battle over Special Immigrant Visas pitted Stephen Miller, President Trump’s senior advisor, against the Pentagon. The military brass was lobbying for 6,000 special immigrant visas for Iraqis who worked for American forces in the country. These visas were once again billed as helping “interpreters”.

Standing up for its own culture and people is “white nationalism.” And so the continent will submit to its own destruction while congratulating itself on never having been “racist.” “Trump: […] Read more 2020-02-19  •  Robert Spencer Hungary: EU Parliamentarian blames immigration policy for rise of “radical Muslim antisemitism” in Europe “Hungarian European Parliamentarian Balázs Hidvéghi declared this week that ‘radical Muslim antisemitism’ is on the rise in Europe thanks to massive illegal immigration.” That admission also came from a least likely source: Angela Merkel… In an eyebrow-raising moment during an interview with Israeli TV, ‘German Chancellor Angela Merkel, much-maligned for her open-door immigration policy,’ stated: […] Read more 2020-02-19  •  Christine Douglass-Williams In Tunisia, The Travails of Trabelsi Ever since Tunisia gained its independence from France in 1956, it has been the most secular of Arab states.
