It Takes a Good Guy
with a Gun to Stop a Bad Guy with a Gun
By

When
Democrats gain control of the house in January, they will be fighting harder
than ever to convince us that law-abiding citizens shouldn’t be trusted to have
guns to defend themselves. Not long ago, they balked bitterly at the accusation
that their real goal was to repeal the Second Amendment. Now, many have finally
started to admit that this is precisely what they had in mind all along. Good
for them. Better for us. They are easier to beat when they tell the truth.
Unfortunately, that’s never very often. Conservatives have an
excellent argument in favor of the Second Amendment by proclaiming that
“it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun.” Unfortunately,
it makes no sense to Leftists and it’s instructive to examine why. [more...]
Celebrate the
International Day of Tolerance with Intolerance to the UN
By Daniel Greenfield
International
Tolerance Day was celebrated at the World Tolerance Summit at the Armani Hotel
in Dubai. A photo of the event shows three Arab Muslim men in burnooses sitting
under the Summit's subtitle, "Prospering from Pluralism: Embracing
Diversity through Innovation and Collaboration." The UAE is an Arab Muslim
entity. Good luck obtaining citizenship if you aren’t an Arab Muslim. Leaving
Islam is forbidden, but the government has a special site encouraging infidels
to convert to Islam. Diversity is great… as long as it’s limited to Muslim men.
Pluralism is fantastic. But you’re not allowed to leave Islam. And tolerance is
applied equally to Muslim men and other Muslim men on Tolerance Day. [more...]
Steel Tariffs Creating
Jobs, Boosting GDP
By
Jeff
Ferry
Despite
pessimistic predictions from many economists, the administration's steel
tariffs are creating U.S. jobs and stimulating growth. Steel tariffs, in
combination with other economic policies, will drive growth of 2.1 million
additional jobs in 2018 over the baseline forecast. An additional 1.2 million
jobs are expected to be created annually in the years 2019 through 2021. The
performance of the U.S. economy since the steel tariff was implemented in March
has been outstanding, with over a million more jobs in the U.S. economy today
than in March, and GDP growth roughly half a point higher than economists had
predicted.

Lessons from 1,400
Years of Jihad
By Robert
Spencer
The History of Jihad
is the first book that chronicles the entirety of the phenomenon of jihad for
1,400 years - not just the jihad against Europe, although that’s very much a
part of the book, but also the jihad against India and the jihad elsewhere,
also tying in the fact that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is itself a jihad,
and, of course, the people who struck us on 9/11 were motivated by the exact
same ideology that has motivated the jihad conquests of the distant past and is
still with us very much today. If you do not learn from your mistakes, you
keep making the same mistakes again and again and again. That’s U.S.
foreign policy today, because of, in large part, a lack of awareness and
understanding of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat and of a complete
lack of knowledge of the history of jihad. Here are three lessons from
history that could have a very great impact on foreign policy today in the
United States, were there to be sanity in the State Department, which, of
course, I know is at a premium. [more...]
