One of John Kerry’s closest confidantes now in charge of Israeli-Palestinian portfolio at the State Department

Another step in the wrong direction, a la the appointments of H. R. McMaster and Sebastian Gorka. President Trump has repeatedly vowed to stand with Israel. That means Obama/Kerry wonks such as Michael Ratney should not be appointed, and must go. Trump needs to right his ship and regain control from the RINOs. “John Kerry apprentice to lead Israeli-Palestinian portfolio

The Trump Effect: Number of Americans in Labor Force Hits Record High

Anti-bullying activist BULLIES first lady Melania Trump

Anti-bullying activists doing what they do — bullying. Perfect. Is there a better example of the hypocrisy of the left?

First lady Melania Trump called ‘ugly on the inside’ by anti-bullying activist

Brampton, Ontario: Mayor Calls Criticism of Muslim Prayers in Public Schools “HATE SPEECH”

When are the Jewish prayers? The Christian prayers? The Hindu prayers? Of course, there aren’t any. Only Muslims get this kind of special accommodation.

Linda Jeffrey may find that out before too long

Pure dawah. Pure Islamic propaganda. Why are they torturing us with this? Look: the co-author of this “study” is Dr Mohammad Khasawneh, “a professor of systems science and industrial engineering at Binghamton.” How did a professor of systems science and industrial engineering become an expert in lower back health? When is the Daily Mail going to publish a study about

Ex-“Radical” Muslim: Jihadists Are Sending Students to Top Colleges in America

Raised as a devout Muslim, Isik Abla explains, “The peaceful presentation of Islam is an incredible deception. I don’t understand how the Western world doesn’t get it. I want to say [it’s] naïve, but it is idiotic to not understand how Islam has nothing to do with peace. Islam can only bring peace with sword. They will behead you if

FAST-ATTACK VESSELS from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps force U.S. Navy ship to change course

The Iranians are testing the Trump administration, trying to see if he will be as supine as Obama.
