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

By Karen Kataline

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.

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.

Federal Spending Jumps as Agencies 'Use it or Lose it'

By Adam Andrzejewski, Author of Operation Drain the Swamp

At the end of every fiscal year, a spending spree of billions of federal tax dollars occurs in a matter of days. But not all of that money goes to essential items. We found examples of federal purchases for wine, snowboards, pianos, guitars and fancy gym equipment. We dug through thousands of federal contracts for September, the last month of the fiscal year. In just one month, the U.S. government spent more than $6.2 million dollars on gym equipment. One out of every nine dollars spent by the federal government occurs in just the last seven days of the fiscal year. When the bureaucrats cannot even spend all the money that Congress is sending them, there's a problem. [more...]

Starbucks to Lay Off 5% of Corporate Workforce

By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

Starbucks has announced plans to lay off around 5% of its corporate workforce following organizational and leadership changes within the company. CEO Kevin Johnson revealed that approximately 350 employees would be affected. Starbucks, known for its addicting coffee and juggernaut reputation around the world, is one of many companies who are planning to revamp their strategies, redistribute their assets and clean house. Companies facing sales declines are looking for new ways to stay relevant.  [more...]

Critics Can't Reconcile Trump's Lawful Border Defenses

By James Hirsen

Since the Trump administration authorized the military to use force along the U.S.-Mexico border, many are raising legal challenges to the president's border policy by invoking a 19th century law, the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement functions -unless specifically authorized by the Constitution or Congress. According to U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis, over 5,000 active duty troops are now engaged in supporting missions along the border in Texas, Arizona, and California. [more...]

Should You Take a Home DNA Test?

By Lowell Ponte

“Know thyself,” advised the ancient Greek oracle at Delphi, whose Delphic prophecies sometimes misled those seeking guidance and destroyed them. Today, self-knowledge comes in a box from companies such as Ancestry.com or 23andMe. Send them a bit of saliva from swabbing the inside of your cheek and they will discern from your DNA, your genetic blueprint, your ancestral past and – coming soon – your health future. I received such a test kit as an early holiday gift, but thus far I have not decided whether to bare my personal DNA to this modern oracle. Peter J. Pitts, president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, recently offered five reasons not to let curiosity lure us into taking such tests… [more...]

'Medicare for All' Lost BIG Time in the Midterms

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

Medicare for All - the rallying cry for much of the far left - lost big time in the midterm elections earlier this month. Voters outside liberal enclaves rejected candidates who touted their support for socialized medicine. That was wise. Medicare for All would saddle Americans with trillions in new taxes and diminish the quality of health care available in this country. Before the election, Medicare for All looked like a political winner. According to one Reuters/Ipsos poll, 70% of the public - including most Republicans - supported the idea. [more...]

Trump’s China Tariffs Are Working and Their Impact Should Not Be Blunted by Potential Loopholes

By Michael Stumo

In response to Beijing’s longstanding commercial espionage practices, President Donald Trump embarked on a series of tariffs against China earlier this year. Free-trade economists and media pundits offered dire warnings when the tariffs were announced. But as recent data have made clear, the tariffs are working. U.S. manufacturing employment has grown by 296,000 jobs over the past year, including 32,000 factory jobs added in October alone.

With the tariffs making progress, it would be unfortunate to see their impact blunted by potential loopholes. But that may be exactly what’s happening, thanks to a recent decision by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to exempt many Chinese products from tariffs. [more...]

Tim Allen - Liberals Have a 'Very Small Window of Sense of Humor'

By James Hirsen

“I think it’s funny to make fun of people that are full of themselves. Liberals have a very small window of sense of humor about themselves, so I love poking at it,” says Tim Allen who brought up a current practice in which many liberals routinely engage; that is, the avoidance of rational debate via the mallet of identity politics. "[R]ight now liberals, particularly progressives, hide behind large concepts,” Allen noted. “If you don’t agree with them, if you don’t agree with that position, then you hate women, and you hate gay people, and you hate pro-choice people…” [more...]

Why California is Burning

By Kerry Lutz

Fire knows no prejudice. It goes after everything and everyone in its path. Frightening. Our hearts go out to the people whose lives have been disrupted and damaged. But, as always, it’s largely the government’s fault as well as rabid environmentalism. Believe it or not, the paper/wood industry is the forest’s greatest friend. You wouldn’t know it to hear the media, but its decline has led to greater and greater wildfires out West. And the trend will continue until we come to our collective senses. [more...]

The Top 10 University Leaders Who are Supporters of Terror

In a report released today, the David Horowitz Freedom Center named university leaders from prestigious American campuses including UCLA, Columbia University, Kent State University, Tufts University, and the University of Chicago to the list of the “Top Ten University Leaders Who are Supporters of Terror.” These university leaders provide organizational and monetary support to Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a campus organization which functions as an arm of the anti-Israel terror group Hamas and which has repeatedly acted to terrorize Jewish students on campus. They also imbue SJP with a false veneer of legitimacy by permitting it to benefit from its association with the university’s academic prestige. Even when SJP chapters repeatedly violate campus rules prohibiting the disruption of campus events (usually pro-Israel events) or when its members chant genocidal slogans, use hateful slurs, and commit violence against Jewish students on campus, university presidents and administrations repeatedly ignore or forgive these hostile, discriminatory and unlawful acts. [more...]

California Smokescreen - More Red than Green

By Lowell Ponte

Why is California ablaze with fires that have scorched more than a quarter-million acres, killed more than 76 people, and have more than 1,200 unaccounted for? The apparent answer is that Democrats have ideologically moved their one-party leftist state a lot closer to Hell. They have turned control of the once-golden state over to progressive environmental zealots and their unnatural idea of social engineering. For nearly two centuries, progressivism has advocated replacing God and religion with the idea that people could fashion a heaven on Earth, a new Eden, if we gave total power to the new ruling elite of Big Government and Big Science. [more...]

Is Fox News Turning on Trump?

By Karen Kataline

The faux outrage against Trump whom networks hate and the complete pass that was given to Obama whom they slobbered and fawned over is mind-boggling. Obama bullied and controlled the press. He even used the power of the federal government to retaliate against them when there was a possibility that they might not report on him favorably. What was their response? “Thank you, Sir, may I have another?" Obama also had a reporter removed from a press conference. Other reporters dutifully applauded. Meanwhile, Trump admonished one reporter at a press conference and removed his press pass which he has full authority to do and the networks go bananas screaming that Trump is against a free press. The circumstances of these two examples couldn’t be more different. So why is Fox News siding with CNN? [more...]

Fawning Press for New Dick Cheney Movie

By Christian Toto

Reporters are already rushing to paint the far-left filmmaker's Dick Cheney biopic as fair and balanced. The movie is “Vice,” a depiction of former Vice President Dick Cheney. The film’s writer/director is Adam McKay, one of Hollywood’s most outspoken, aggressive liberals. McKay injects his politics into all manner of product. The trailer alone, along with recent McKay interviews, suggests the film comes down hard on Team Cheney. [more...]

The Top 10 University Leaders Who are Supporters of Terror

David Horowitz Freedom Center 
Releases Report on

“The Top Ten University Leaders Who Are Supporters of Terror”

Campuses include Columbia, UCLA, Tufts, Kent State and George Mason

University leaders from prestigious American campuses including UCLA, Columbia University, Kent State University, Tufts University, and the University of Chicago are among those cited by the David Horowitz Freedom Center as the “Top Ten University Leaders Who Are Supporters of Terror” in a new report.

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) receives university funding and institutional support from America’s preeminent universities. It derives credibility from this collegiate sponsorship, and it is common for university departments and academic centers to co-sponsor its events and speakers and for college professors to participate in its programs. Even when SJP chapters repeatedly violate campus rules prohibiting the disruption of campus events (usually pro-Israel events) or when its members chant genocidal slogans, use hateful slurs, and commit violence against Jewish students on campus, university presidents and administrations repeatedly ignore or forgive these hostile, discriminatory and unlawful acts. 

The report exposes ten presidents and chancellors of prominent American universities who have “renounced their duty to protect the welfare of all students on their campus by allowing the hateful, pro-terrorist rhetoric and actions of SJP to proceed unchecked.”

In alphabetical order by institution, the ten university leaders and campuses are: Lee Bollinger, Columbia University; Angel Cabrera, George Mason University; Beverly Warren, Kent State University; Leslie Wong, San Francisco State University; Anthony Monaco, Tufts University; Carol T. Christ, University of California-Berkeley; Howard Gillman, University of California-Irvine; Gene Block, University of California Los Angeles; Robert Zimmer, University of Chicago; and Renu Khator, University of Houston.

As has been revealed in congressional testimony, Students for Justice in Palestine is a campus front for Hamas terrorists. SJP’s propaganda activities are orchestrated and funded by a Hamas front group, American Muslims for Palestine, whose chairman is Hatem Bazian and whose principals are former officers of the Holy Land Foundation and other Islamic “charities” previously convicted of funneling money to Hamas, which is a State Department-designated terrorist organization whose explicit goals, as stated in its charter, are the destruction of the Jewish state, and the extermination of its Jews.

The release of the Top Ten report was timed to coincide with the National Students for Justice in Palestine Conference which is taking place this weekend at UCLA.  UCLA Chancellor Gene Block is among the campus leaders named on the list.

“For nearly two decades, SJP has promoted Hamas lies and propaganda in order to establish a beachhead of support for anti-Israel terrorists on American campuses, resulting in a dramatic rise in anti-Semitic incidents and the harassment of Jewish students,” said David Horowitz, founder of the Freedom Center.

“American universities like the University of California allow these terrorist allies to use their authority and prestige to lend this genocidal offensive an aura of respectability,” Horowitz continued. “Our campaign intends to expose SJP and other supporters of BDS as fronts for Hamas and to press universities to cease their funding and support of these organizations.”

The David Horowitz Freedom Center, founded in 1988, is a not-for-profit organization located in Sherman Oaks, California. The Center’s mission is to defend free societies like America and Israel, which are under attack by totalitarians both religious and secular, domestic and foreign.

How Today's Dems are Seizing Power

By Lowell Ponte

2018 will go down as the year Democrats left democracy dying in the dust. Republican wins were not close, so Democrats in both Arizona and Florida seem to have invented many tens of thousands of votes in an arrogant criminal attempt to steal high government offices. Democrats now assume they can get away with unlimited Grand Theft Government because they control the unelected branches of government that were supposed to prevent such crimes. They own most of the judges. They own most of the “journalists” who were supposed to be watchdogs against government corruption, but who are now Democratic lapdogs ready to broadcast any lie that serves their leftist masters. The election thieves will not be caught, because those charged with stopping them are now Democrat comrades. How do they concoct votes? [more...]

How Did #MeToo Score in the Mid-terms?

By Karen Kataline

For almost a year, I’ve been writing about the Democrats’ attempt to turn women into the next big victim-group-turned-voting-bloc just in time for the mid-terms. Consequently, they also attempted to turn straight men into blocs of their perpetrators. (Toxic masculinity anyone?)  I believe this has been one of the prime motivators for the blatant politicization of the #MeToo movement. You may remember that the “community organizing of women” came the day after Trump’s inauguration when Democrats were forced to turn hoards of women who were prepared to celebrate a Hillary win into a hoard of women protesting Donald Trump. [more...]

SNL Apology is the Real Deal

By James Hirsen

This past weekend “Saturday Night Live” showed how an apology is done. Producer Lorne Michaels, cast member Pete Davidson, and writers of the show expressed their sincere contrition for the wrong committed during the previous week’s show. In an interesting sidebar to “SNL”’s faux pas and subsequent public apology, it looks as though a new GOP figure has emerged with a future as bright as the stars. Dan Crenshaw, a veteran of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, ran for Congress in the recent mid-term elections in a district in Houston, Texas. The former Navy SEAL wears an eye patch, because his right eye was lost as a result of an I.E.D. explosion that took place in Afghanistan while he was serving the nation. Crenshaw was the object of vicious “SNL” ridicule, when, during the “Weekend Update” segment of the show, Davidson, displayed a picture of him with his eye patch intact and said, “You may be surprised to hear he’s a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hit man in a porno movie.” [more...]

Kimmel Lets Borat Sexualize the First Lady

By Christian Toto

Jimmy Kimmel invited Sacha Baron Cohen onto his show last week. The British comic introduced an election-themed video featuring his Borat character. He’s the clueless, sexist, Jew-hating reporter from Kazakhstan. The bit found Borat trotting out the usual anti-Trump bromides – he called the President “Premier Trump” to play up the faux Russian collusion angle. Late in the routine Borat interviews a Republican voter, bringing up the First Lady in awkward fashion. [more...]

At the VA, Bureaucrats - not the Doctors - Hold the Scalpel

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

Staff at nine Veterans Affairs hospitals recently canceled more than 250,000 orders for diagnostic tests. They thought the orders were duplicative or unnecessary. In many cases, they were mistaken. As a result, veterans went without needed CT scans, ultrasounds, and other potentially lifesaving tests, according to a USA Today investigation. This is just the latest failure in the VA's long history of denying care for veterans. Rolling out government-run health care nationwide, in the form of "Medicare for All," would be an unmitigated disaster for patients. [more...]

Experts Say China Telecom Diverted U.S. Internet Traffic Through China

By Jeff Ferry

Three Internet security experts have accused state-owned telecom giant China Telecom of diverting internal U.S. Internet traffic through China. The purpose, apparently, was corporate espionage.

According to Doug Madory, an expert on Internet traffic at Silicon Valley software maker Oracle, China Telecom’s network sent out false signals that diverted Internet traffic supposedly bound for the Verizon network onto the China Telecom network. The traffic passed through Hangzhou and other Chinese cities, and this went on undetected for an incredible 30 months, from late 2015 through 2017, according to Madory.

“China Telecom… has misdirected Internet traffic (including out of the United States) in recent years. I know because I expended a great deal of effort to stop it in 2017,” Madory wrote in his Nov. 5th blog post on Oracle’s website, entitled “China Telecom’s Internet Traffic Misdirection.” [more...]
