WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — Return with us now to the thrilling days of yesteryear with stranded polar bears, drowning Manhattan lecturers, British "editors" of "scientific" studies, Hollywood limousines! From out of the museums of discredited "scientific" alarmism comes a hearty "Hi-Ho, Private Jet!" The Lone Albert rides again! (Neigh! -- I mean Whooosh!)... (more)

JEFFREY — House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) joined forces early Wednesday evening as the House passed a continuing resolution that will fund the government after the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, and that will permit funding for Planned Parenthood (the nation's largest abortion provider), the entirety of Obamacare, and an amendment requested by President Barack Obama "to train and equip appropriately vetted elements of the Syrian opposition."...

September 17, 2014
ANDREW C. MCCARTHYOn Monday, I had a follow-up to last week's column on why members of the Obama administration and other transnational progressives deny that the Islamic State is Islamic -- viz., because they want to ally with what they call "moderate Islamists." If Americans grasp that "moderate Islamists" and violent jihadists share the same basic ideology, such an alliance becomes politically untenable.... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — Something's fouling Colorado's crisp air -- and I'm not talking about the pot smoke. In my adopted home state, the toxic fumes of Islamic jihad have penetrated the most unlikely hamlets and hinterlands. Obama-administration officials are vehemently denying the existence of plots by ISIS operatives to cross our borders. But the lesson here is clear: Thanks to laptop recruitment, reckless visa policies, and homegrown treachery, the U.S.-based jihad export-import business is and has been thriving.... (more)

(more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — I've profiled MPAC here. It was founded by disciples of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna and champions of both Hezbollah and the Sudanese Islamists who gave safe-haven to al-Qaeda during the mid Nineties.

JOSEPH FARAH — In his classic work, "1984," George Orwell introduced two new terms into the lexicon -- double think and newspeak. Though he didn't use the word "doublespeak," it's an easy leap simply combining the two Orwell terms -- and that's what we are experiencing in the U.S. precisely 30 years after the title date of his peak into the world of Big Brother.... (more)


September 15, 2014
ALAN KEYES — There is something almost comically ironic about Barack Obama's new pose as strategist-in-chief, due to preside over deliberations aimed at producing a coordinated response to the threat of an organization he now insists on defining strictly in terms of its terrorist atrocities. Obama claims that the Islamic State is neither Islamic nor a state but, strictly speaking, a terrorist entity devoid of any other substantive purpose, meaning, or identity... (more)
