By Robert Spencer on Jan 16, 2018 04:00 pm

Why is this necessary? Because of “right-wing extremists”? No, because of Merkel’s disastrous Muslim migration policies, which have brought an unknowable number of jihad terrorists into Germany. Will those policies be scrapped? Reevaluated? Not on your life. That would be racist, bigoted, and “Islamophobic.” “Elite German anti-terror unit to grow by third and move to […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 16, 2018 03:31 pm

Bravo. Money is fungible. This is $65 million that the “Palestinians” won’t have to give to jihad terrorists. “Haley wanted a complete cutoff in U.S. money until the Palestinians resumed peace talks with Israel that have been frozen for years.

Antifa fascists find a champion and leader in Stanford Professor David Palumbo-Liu
By Robert Spencer on Jan 16, 2018 03:00 pm

As my experience at Stanford in November abundantly illustrated, Stanford and other American universities today are not centers of higher learning where ideas are evaluated and accepted and dismissed on their merits, but centers of hard-Left indoctrination in which dissenting views are misrepresented and ruthlessly suppressed. This professor, David Palumbo-Liu, with his ties to violent […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 16, 2018 12:11 pm
