According to a Fox News report from February, “More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined — or attempted to join — a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.” The city of Minneapolis is located in Omar’s district. “FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic…

The D.C. Dyke March announced the policy last week, telling potential attendees of the event, billed as “an all-inclusive celebration of underrepresented people,” that symbols of “Zionism” would not be tolerated — even…

‘Scorched Earth’: After Mueller Comes Up Empty, His Targets Speak Out | RealClearPolitics Real Clear Politics June 9, 2019 Veteran journalist Art Moore was editing a story on the Trump-Russia probe last October when he heard a knock at the door. He saw a couple of men in suits on the front porch of his suburban Seattle home and thought they were Jehovah’s Witnesses making the rounds. But they weren’t missionaries there to convert him; they were FBI agents there to interrogate him, sent by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The G-men wanted to talk about WikiLeaks, specifically whether…

Impeachment-hungry ex-Clinton aide eyes primary takedown of Nadler Washington Examiner June 8, 2019 A former aide to Hillary Clinton is fed up with Democratic leadership’s hesitation to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump and is openly considering a run against House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler. Peter Daou, who led digital operations for Clinton’s 2008 campaign, railed against House leaders’ insistence to focus on investigations, not impeachment, during an interview Friday. “This is not a time for half-measures. We are facing a threat we’ve never faced before — certainly within our lifetimes — and that’s an autocrat as…

Some Palestinians Give Up on Their Own State By Felicia Schwartz WSJ June 8, 2019 RAMALLAH—When the Trump administration reveals its economic plan for the West Bank and Gaza this month, it hopes to appeal to Palestinians like Amr Marouf, who manages a seafood restaurant here. Saying his people’s “future is dark,” Mr. Marouf, 27 years old, has all but given up on a Palestinian state alongside Israel, an idea that has for decades animated international efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Maybe… Continue Reading…..

When Orthodox Jews oppose followers of Jesus By Michael Brown WND June 8, 2019 For several decades, I have drawn attention to the church’s historic persecution of the Jews in Jesus’ name. It is one of the ugliest and longest chapters in church history, and it cannot be downplayed, forgotten, or ignored. With God’s help, I will continue to call out “Christian” anti-Semitism wherever I see it today. But I will not ignore Jewish persecution of Christians. It too must be called out. In the Gospels, Jesus and His followers, all of them Jews, were persecuted by hypocritical…

‘You have to kill the bear’: Dems attack as Biden stumbles By David Siders POLITICO June 8, 2019 For the first six weeks of his campaign, Joe Biden largely drifted above the fray, a front-runner beyond the reach of the masses of the Democratic presidential field. His rivals publicly welcomed him into the race, and not a cross word was said about his record. Things are different now. The hits started coming last week, in thinly veiled references to Biden’s center-left record, his Washington insiderdom, his advanced age. Continue Reading…..

Let China complain: America should approve Taiwan’s arms purchase Washington Examiner June 7, 2019 The United States should advance a new plan to allow Taiwan’s $2 billion purchase of weapons. Media reports suggest the deal will focus on anti-tank and anti-air missiles and new tanks. That figures: Those platforms would help Taiwan defend against the overwhelming air and missile attack that China would employ in any attack. The purchases would sit alongside improvements to Taiwan’s defense portfolio, such as its modernizing air force. China, predictably, is apoplectic over the looming sale. The Chinese foreign ministry is urging “the…
