Austria: Muslim migrant attacks Jewish leader with baseball bat AUG 25, 2020 11:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people...

Numerous media outlets, including the BBC, immediately reported that the coup was led by Malick Diaw and Sadio Camara, two army colonels who hold top...

The so-called Fast Radio Burst repeats every 157 days with the power of millions of suns and its latest barrage arrived right on time last week. Known as FRB 121102, scientists hope that studying the strange blinkering signal could unlock the secret to what FRBs are and where they come from. Fast Radio Bursts are intense pulses of radio waves that last no longer than the blink of an eye and come from far beyond our Milky Way galaxy. Their origins are unknown. .

The effort showcased an impressive list of black speakers in prominent roles vouching for President Trump and slamming Joe Biden and the Dems. Kim Klacik, a dynamic young Republican woman running for the late Elijah Cummings’ seat in Baltimore, set the tone by declaring: “The Democrats have controlled my city, Charm City, for over 50 years and they have run this beautiful place into the ground. “Abandoned buildings, liquor stores on every corner, drug addicts and guns on the street — that is now the norm in many neighborhoods.” Herschel Walker, the football great, added his personal experience after what...

Take MSNBC and CNN this morning [please!], and you have a classic demonstration of liberal-media tactics. Paint Republicans as "cranks and misfits," while portraying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as "super-centrist."On Morning Joe, a snide and sneering Joe Scarborough claimed the speakers at the opening night of the RNC convention offered: "A bizarre collection of alternative facts and alternative realities told by cranks and misfits." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

For many loyal corporate media consumers the convention provided the longest slice of counter-programming they'd been treated to in years. Night one of the Republican National Committee’s first-ever remote convention kicked off Monday, rejecting Democrats’ hosted model for a faster-paced, single-location-centered event that beat its competitor in production value and rally atmosphere, although still stunted by the lack of a live audience. Activists and everyday Americans stole the show, telling moving stories of the fights, lessons, victories and tragedies that brought them to that stage, skillfully parlaying those stories into specific policies they support the president on. While some veteran...

The evidence now is overwhelming that the Democrats are planning to throw the nation into a deep crisis following Election Day, in a cynical plot to steal a presidential election, and with it, control of Congress. The plan isn't even hiding in plain sight; it is trumpeted almost daily: Send out tens of millions of unsolicited mail ballots to everyone on voter rolls (that in most jurisdictions haven't been purged of those who died or moved). We already know from the experience of Clark County, Nevada that 17% of the 1.3 million ballots sent to registered voters were "undeliverable," meaning...

CNN changed a chyron during a segment early this week on the violent protests in Wisconsin over the weekend, removing the word “violent” from the chyron—even though the protests were, in fact, violent.

And I believe we the people are going to tire real soon about the democrats allowing the radical leftist revolutionary blackshirt/brownshirt squads of their party using violent organized fascist tactics to rampage, riot and burn our once beautiful...

The lockdown is crushing small businesses as Amazon and the giant box stores, such as Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, etc. thrive. The Washington Post and other news outlets seem to actively promote the need for a lockdown, but is it even necessary? Are scare tactics being used as a cudgel to wipe out small brick and mortar competition and fundamentally transform the way we conduct commerce?

I figured she was about to call the park police on one of my fellow activists and I feared for our lives. I didn’t even use excessive force. I just took off her pants! Well, it all started as a peaceful protests against the people who were attending the Sturgis Biker Rally. We have been mistreated for centuries but, every year, five hundred thousand bikers come into our neighborhood...
