If It Walks Like a Terrorist
In television it’s called a “loop,” the replaying of the same scene over and over and over again.
You Can’t Destroy the Jihadists With Candlelight Vigils and Benefit Concerts
The British have a decision to make: Do they care more about multiculturalism and open borders or stopping Muslim jihadists from stabbing people and blowing up eight-year-old girls?

Giving Terrorists No Quarter
Chances are, you heard plenty about the latest terrorist attacks in Britain. But the chances that you heard about the most recent attack in Afghanistan — in which a suicide truck bomber set off his deadly payload in rush-hour traffic near the German embassy in Kabul — are much lower. Why?
Pence Breakfast Jam-Packed With Optimism
Tuesday morning, Vice President Mike Pence didn’t just speak about prayer — he was the proof that prayers are answered!
The CNN ‘Scholar’ Throwing Excrement
In reaction to the May ratings report showing MSNBC as number one in weeknight prime-time viewership in the prized 25-to-54 age demographic, CNN sent out a spokeswoman to separate itself from the competition. CNN should be viewed as “the one nonpartisan cable news network,” presumably unlike MSNBC, and certainly unlike Fox News.
Bill Maher and Perpetual Adolescence
Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” show to promote his new book, “The Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming of Age Crisis — And How To Build a Culture of Self Reliance.”
The Unbridgeable Gap Between Left and Right Over Human Evil
There are certain clarifying moments in political discourse; moments that demonstrate just where the various parties stand. Never has the gap been so obvious as this last week.
Prosperity Cities
Lovers of socialism didn’t like my column last week. I wrote that Venezuela’s collapse shows the cluelessness of celebrities like Michael Moore, Oliver Stone and Noam Chomsky, who’d praised Venezuela’s leader.
Democrats’ Hoodwinking of Blacks
Ask any black person which political party has been black people’s political ally. With near unanimity, blacks would answer the Democratic Party. Asked which political party has been hostile to blacks, they’d say the Republican Party with similar unanimity.
YouTube Banned Me, but Not the Hate Imams
One of the many maddening takeaways from the London Bridge jihad attack is this: If you post videos on YouTube radicalizing Muslim viewers to kill innocent people, YouTube will leave you alone. But if you post a video on YouTube honoring innocent people murdered by barbaric jihadists, your video will get banned.
The Indy 500: Oblivious to the Terrorist Threat
My focus today is not the crash at Indy, or the incredible design of the cars, but rather what was astonishingly absent from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and poses a grave threat to hundreds, if not thousands, of fans.
Parents Shocked by Adult Drag Queen Performance at Grade School Talent Show
What in the name of Ru Paul is wrong with the New York City Board of Education?
Time to Govern, Republicans
On Nov. 9, 2016, in the stunned afterglow of Republicans taking the White House and holding both chambers of Congress, former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor put it plainly...
UA 93 Hijacker Entered U.S. 7 Times — on ‘Tourist’ Visa
You could still see his mouth and his chin, but only the right side of his face from the nose up.
London Attacks Followed by Same Old Stale Argument
The saddest part about the recent terrorist attacks in the UK — aside from the actual horror for the victims and their families, of course — was that there was so little new to say about it.
This Winner Is a Real Loser
The first deep state anti-Trump leaker has been caught and arrested. Reality Leigh Winner — yes, Reality Winner is her real name — was arrested Saturday for leaking classified information to The Intercept about Russian attempts to hack a voting software company and local elections offices.

Cornwall Alliance Celebrates Withdrawal From Paris Climate Agreement
President Donald Trump announced his decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement.
London Undone by Terror
An ocean away, another seven caskets tell the story of a war the West is desperate to end. For the British, who’ve watched the tide of terrorism swell to three attacks in as many months, the time for sensitivity is over. There’s been “too much tolerance” of Islamic extremism, Prime Minister Theresa May warned, as police searched for clues to another ISIS-inspired rampage. Just days after families put 22 loved ones to rest after the Manchester Arena bombing, three men slammed their van into a crowd of people while others hacked through a local market with foot-long machetes.
Crimes by Illegal Aliens, Not Legal Immigrants, Are the Real Problem
A story published by The Hill last month about two studies claiming that “immigrants commit less crime than U.S. born citizens” misses the point that President Trump and other Americans are concerned over the crimes committed by illegal aliens, not legal immigrants. And the existing records on those crimes, like the murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco in 2015, are truly shocking.
Can Wonder Woman Just Be Wonder Woman?
In the new “Wonder Woman” movie, the heroine is mystified by the ways of humankind — and she doesn’t even read the internet.
