Are you a president with approval ratings lower than a midget with a bad back? Never fear, the Espionage Act is here to help.

Join us on this exciting new episode where we delve into the history of...

In less than a month in office, the Biden administration has clearly defined itself and its party as a fascist vanguard, driven by a racist agenda, and unconstrained by constitutional principle. It chooses to rule by presidential diktat, even though it controls both Houses of Congress. It is an aggressive pursuer of political division behind a deceptive smokescreen of “healing” and “unity,” It is busily exploiting a fake “armed insurrection” to justify witch-hunts of the military, the capital police, members of Congress and the opposition media, at the moment Fox and Newsmax, whom they want to suppress. Its legislative radicals...

Mijo, a 15-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, lost an eye during the attack, but the damage would've been much worse without Winston's help Little dog Winston didn't let a big cat stand in the way of his unbreakable bond with canine friend Mijo. According to 9 News, the Evergreen, Colorado, Dachshund stepped in and saved his pooch pal from a mountain lion attack. On the night of Nov. 7, according to Mijo and Winston's owner, the two dogs slipped out of the house through an open door. Shortly after the dog duo got outside, a young mountain lion pounced on Mijo, a...

Jew-hatred rises in societies whose democratic institutions and values are in crisis. No matter who ultimately wins the presidential election, the Jews in America are the big losers. As Professor Ruth Wisse of Harvard has long explained, Jews are the bellwether for the health of democracies. Hatred of Jews rises in societies whose democratic institutions and values are in crisis. Jew-hatred is generally low in healthy, working democracies. If we learned nothing else from the election campaign and its aftermath, we learned American democracy is in crisis. The media is the first force responsible for this crisis. For the...

Fate of slain 75-year-old grandmother was “worse than death,” doctor testifies. Last Friday, Habibullah Ahmadi, 24, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the October 8, 2017, beating of Sara Anne Widholm in Windsor, Ontario. Justice Bruce Thomas referred to a “savage” beating Ahmadi “knew was likely to cause her death.” As the trial revealed, Habibullah Ahmadi approached Anne Widholm, punched her in the face, then delivered repeated blows before picking her up and repeatedly “slamming her head into the ground.” Anne Widholm’s face was unrecognizable, her skull “crumbled,” and she fell into a state “worse state than death,” according...

Denying medical services to the elderly is one way to keep costs down. Maimonides, the great 12th century codifier of Jewish law, said: “The good doctors will go to hell first,” because skilled physicians will be tempted to play God. Enter Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a member of Biden’s recently-announced Coronavirus Advisory Committee. The architect of Obamacare, and brother of former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, is one scary dude. Kindly, Old Doc Emanuel is an advocate of health care rationing for the elderly. In a 2014 article for The Atlantic, “Why I hope to Die at 75,”...

Mogens Lykketoft, Denmark’s former Foreign Minister, sometime President of the U.N. General Assembly and a Social Democrat, is a good man to listen to, if one wants to gauge Europe’s reaction to the recent American elections. In the Copenhagen daily, Berlingske, he writes this scathing comment: “For the USA as well as for most of the world it will be an enormous relief to be rid of this shameless narcissistic liar.” He is of course referring to President Trump. The antipathy against Donald Trump is spread across the political spectrum. Even the foreign policy spokesman of the hard-right Danish People’s...

Who elected Jim Jeffrey? Right: no one. Robert Spencer is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. DefenseOne reported Thursday that Jim Jeffrey, President Trump’s former special envoy for Syria, who got that job despite the fact that in 2016 he was a signer of “the now-infamous ‘Never Trump’ letter condemning then-presidential candidate Donald Trump as a danger to America,” has boasted that he circumvented Trump’s orders to withdraw American troops from Syria by lying to the President. Jeffrey, according to DefenseOne, “acknowledges that his team routinely misled senior leaders about troop levels in Syria.” Jeffrey explained:...

The social media giants don’t seem to be backing away from the exclusion of conservative voices. Instead, the strategy may be to wear us down, continuing a steady stream of bans. When the outrage is blatant, they may back down for a while, but the idea is to get us so used to this that we get tired and eventually accept the fate, when the bans keep happening. This article, titled “9 Steps to Counter Jihad,” is what triggered Facebook’s totally opaque “community standards.” The nine steps: 1. Label the Enemy and Make a Threat Assessment. 2. Scrap “Countering Violent...

FrontPageMag banned from Facebook for 30 days This is how jihad enabling Facebook censors marked the 17th Anniversary of 9/11 yesterday: They banned FrontPage editor Jamie Glazov for a full month, all for posting an article about how to prevent another 9/11 from ever happening again. “It’s against Facebook’s “community standards” to try to stop Jihadist attacks on Americans.” (This is how jihad enabling Facebook censors marked the 17th Anniversary of 9/11 yesterday: They banned FrontPage editor Jamie Glazov for a full month, all for posting an article about how to prevent another 9/11 from ever happening again. “It’s against...

(1) Everything Kills -- “Guns are uniquely lethal.”Last year, a Muslim terrorist with a truck killed 86 people and wounded another 458. Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, the Tunisian Muslim killer, had brought along a gun, but it proved largely ineffective. The deadliest weapon of the delivery driver was a truck. Mohammed, who was no genius, used it to kill more people than Stephen Paddock would with all his meticulous planning in Vegas. Do we need truck control? Deadlier than the truck is the jet plane. Nearly 3,000 people were killed on September 11 by terrorists with a plan and some box cutters....

When a criminal attacks police with a weapon, there are cases where they can probably take him down without using lethal force, but let’s be realistic. Once you attack police with a weapon capable of causing harm, they’re not obligated to pussyfoot around. And anyone who does that needs to keep something that basic in mind. Or get shot. The rallying cry in Ferguson was “Hands up, don’t shoot!” In New York, it was “I can’t breathe!” In Pasco these days, the protest signs say things like “It was just a rock!!!” In a case with unmistakable echoes of Ferguson...

Syria’s dictator Bashar al-Assad is the first Arab leader not to succumb to the Arab revolution that has brought down the (dictators) leaders of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Assad has withstood his Sunni-Arab opposition for two years now, albeit with reduced control over the country. That in itself signifies a meaningful victory for the Assad regime and the axis of Iran-Syria-Hezbollah, as well as Russia. The big losers are the U.S., the Arab Gulf states (particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia), Turkey, and Israel. It is apparent that the Syrian opposition has been unable to defeat and expel the Assad...

On May 7th, it was revealed that the Obama administration spent $8.35 billion on a “demonstration project” designed to postpone the vast majority of Obamacare’s Medicare Advantage cuts until after the election. On July 31st, it was revealed that the Labor Department warned defense contractors against notifying workers of impending layoffs before the election as well, despite the fact that it would require violating the law to do so. On September 21, it was revealed that a report on the Greek bailout will also be postponed until after the U.S. election. On September 13th, Fed Chief Ben Bernanke announced that...

If there is one major news outlet that would be expected to leap to the defense of free speech when that vital linchpin of liberty is under attack, one would expect that Fox News would be the one organization to do so. After all, it wasn’t so long ago that the Obama administration tried to cut Fox out of access to the White House. To their credit, Fox’s competitors leapt to defend – not Fox, whom the rest of the mainstream networks despise – but free speech. That episode makes the way that all the networks, and Fox in particular,...

How low can they go? The desperate Democratic peddlers of a government health care takeover have proclaimed an insurance “holocaust in America” (Fla. Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson), lambasted conservative health care town hall protesters as “political terrorists” (Indiana Democratic Rep. Baron Hill), sent SEIU thugs to demonstrate outside Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman’s private residence, and derided senior citizens questioning President Obama’s fuzzy math savings claims (California Democratic Rep. Pete Stark: “I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine.”) Now, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is leading them deeper into demagogic mire. This...

You may have seen the Frontpagemag.com article, "9/11 Truthers Meet Birth Certificate Brigade," by Andrew Walden, Friday, 4/17/2009. Occam must be laughing (or crying) about Horowitz and his clique. They have blown his Razor to bits, just as the originators of the 9-11 truther movement do. Hope they don't step on any parts poking up from their carpet. Meanwhile, he and they are the ones detrimental to America here, not those who would hold Obama accountable to the Constitution's actual meaning. I have to remember that Horowitz was once foolish enough to be an anti-American SDS revolutionary. He and his...

Avigdor Lieberman became foreign minister of Israel yesterday. He celebrated his inauguration with a maiden speech that news reports indicate left his listeners grimacing, squirming, and aghast. The BBC, for example, informs us that his words prompted “his predecessor Tzipi Livni to interrupt and diplomats to shift uncomfortably.” Too bad for them – the speech leaves me elated. Here are some of the topics Lieberman covered in his 1,100-word stem-winder: The world order: The Westphalia order of states is dead, replaced by a modern system that includes states, semi-states, and irrational international players (e.g., Al-Qaeda, perhaps Iran). World priorities: These...

I have been watching an interesting phenomenon on the Right, which is beginning to cause me concern. I am referring to the over-the-top hysteria in response to the first months in office of our new president, which distinctly reminds me of the “Bush Is Hitler” crowd on the Left. Speaking of this crowd, have you seen any “I am so sorry” postings from that quarter as Obama continues and even escalates the former president's war policy in Afghanistan and attempts to consolidate his military occupation of Iraq? Conservatives, please. Let's not duplicate the manias of the Left as we figure...
