Six Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas, and Biden has sent no troops to help them, but at the State of the Union address, he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza. The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza. Nothing about this plan makes sense. The media has taken to falsely claiming that the Arab Muslims occupying parts of Gaza are starving. Vice President Kamala Harris...

According to Horowitz, the IRS contends that, by reporting on Hillary Clinton’s national security violations, the tax-exempt foundation effectively endorsed Trump. Nobody likes the IRS, but Americans always assumed that the IRS was an equal opportunity government pest, bedeviling people across the political spectrum. The belief in the agency’s non-partisan status vanished in 2013 when we learned that the IRS had deliberately withheld tax-exempt status from Tea Party organizations, severely hampering their ability to share information during the 2012 presidential election. Now, David Horowitz contends that the IRS is trying to destroy his long tax-exempt Freedom Center, which, among many...

Norquist's Muslim Protégés By Paul Sperry FrontPageMagazine.com | 6/3/2008 If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That appears to be the strategy of GOP powerbroker Grover Norquist in his wicked project to dress Islamists up as patriotic Republicans so they can infiltrate the government. While he's managed to get some of his Muslim proteges jobs in the Bush administration, getting them elected to public office has been another story. Voters aren't buying their makeover. Last November, his crony Faisal M. Gill lost a bid for a seat in the Virginia state legislature. Now another protege, Kamal M. Nawash,...

Critics Call Radio Hosts' Trip Propaganda MissionSunday, July 03, 2005 By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos WASHINGTON — A contingent of conservatives talk radio hosts is headed to Iraq this month on a mission to report "the truth" about the war: American troops are winning, despite headlines to the contrary. The "Truth Tour" has been pulled together by the conservative Web cast radio group Rightalk.com and Move America Forward, a non-profit conservative group backed by a Republican-linked public relations firm in California. "The reason why we are doing it is we are sick and tired of seeing and hearing headlines by the...

Does it Exist? A leading intellectual figure and stalwart fighter in America's confrontation with radical Islam, Daniel Pipes is perhaps best known for his idea that "radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution." As Pipes argues, radical Islam, though currently the dominant political force in the Muslim world, is supported by only 10 to 15 percent of Muslims worldwide, while moderate Islam represents the great, though so far mostly silent, majority of Muslims. He further points out that radical Islam, also known as militant Islam or Islamism, is a very recent phenomenon, having more in common with...

The Most Unpublished Writer By David Horowitz I've taken to reading Ann Coulter's new book How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must) whenever I need respite from the cacophonies of the current campaign. After Tuesday's Vice Presidential debate it was salutary to read her chapter on "Kerry's Puppy" about his pick of ambulance chaser (and not to be corrected fibber) John Edwards for the second spot. I have to say I am getting physically ill watching a rabidly partisan press blow up a war policy that has kept 300 million Americans safe for over three years. Take a...

Hooray. Break out the barbecue sauce and slather it on a fatted calf. Ron Rosenbaum declares he has left the Left. Who? Who the hell is Ron Rosenbaum, and why should I give a damn? Mr. Rosenbaum is a scribbler. After umpty-eight years on the Left, many of which were spent, he says, "...believing that the evils of Soviet Communism were a figment of J. Edgar Hoover's imagination," he has confessed error on the front page of the weekly New York Observer and it's been republished atop Ann Coulter in Frontpage magazine where it bears the engaging headline, Goodbye to...

Anyone else having trouble downloading FrontpageMag.com? Ever since their "redesign" I can almost never get it. I try several times a day, yet I only saw it twice -- early Tuesday morning, and early Saturday morning. I'm using a 56k dialup modem. I just can't seem to get FrontpageMag to download. It takes forever, and I give up. Am I the only one?
