Leftists call for violence against conservatives, Robert Spencer poisoned in Iceland
By Robert Spencer on May 19, 2017 07:57 pm

Hugh Fitzgerald: Shut Up and Deal, or Brittle Man, You’ve Had a Dizzy May
By Hugh Fitzgerald on May 19, 2017 07:35 pm

By Robert Spencer on May 19, 2017 05:00 am

Trump jumps into the swamp, extends “worst deal ever,” renews sanctions relief for Islamic Republic of Iran
By Robert Spencer on May 19, 2017 04:31 am
