On the heels of the UK recognizing an Islamic terrorist state in Israel, police arrested the third known person for criticising Hamas and released a Muslim man who had gone on a stabbing spree after he saw a Koran being burned. Or as the judge in the case put it, “the holy Koran.” Who is the Koran holy to? The political and judicial systems of the United Kingdom which have effectively enacted Islamic Sharia blasphemy law by selectively prosecuting those who offend Islam. But not those who offend the religious sensibilities of Christians or Jews. Do whatever you like with...

The Chicago Teachers' Union is a domestic terrorist organizationDaniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Daniel became CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center in 2025.Let’s cut to the chase, the Chicago Teachers’ Union is a domestic terrorist organization that runs the city, extracts massive amounts of tax money for its members while openly preaching violence and hate. It’s the best possible argument for the decentralization and privatization of the so-called public school system.Every time you think CTU has hit the...

“Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America,” Charlie Kirk tweeted. It was typical of the bold incisive rhetoric that terrified and infuriated the Left. And got him killed.It was also the kind of direct truth that few on the right were willing to speak out loud.Charlie Kirk continued to discuss our reporting on the Islamic genocide against Christians at a time when hardly anyone else would. And with his death, one of the most prominent voices still willing to challenge the Islamic invasion of America and its war on the world was silenced.“Did...

"Minnesota is drowning in fraud” Over the summer I wrote about the grand scale of the latest stage of Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota. The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning. In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million...

0.0001208% death rate leads to urgent crisis. Do you miss having a blue rag clamped over your mouth and nose? Frowns from the people wearing masks? Having to shuffle six feet apart from the line at the supermarket counter? In Governor Gavin Newsom’s California, the local health officials have you covered. Across California, ‘health officials’ are calling for bringing back masks. They’re describing a “summer COVID wave” in September (trust the science) before a predicted “winter wave” and warning that everyone will either be dead or masked by the spring. “California is experiencing a summer COVID wave,” Dr. Aimee Sisson,...

"They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets" No, this isn’t me. Since I’m not unfortunate enough to live in the UK where the Starmer regime arrests more people for tweets than most totalitarian regimes. The London Times recently reported that “British police arrest more than 30 people a day for online posts”. London’s Met Police, who have been at the center of some of the worst speech abuses, maintain a secretive operation monitoring social media leading to almost immediate arrests. The Met Police arrested a staggering 5,332 people in 9...

Forget thoughts and prayers, stop grooming future trans killers. After Robert ‘Robin’ Westman shot up a Minneapolis church, local authorities and law enforcement refused to discuss the transgender child murderer’s motive, but instead spent a lot of time prattling about the weapon as if the rifle had climbed off the shelf and then opened fire. Much as with Audrey ‘Aiden’ Hale, the transgender child murderer who attacked the Covenant School in Nashville a few years ago, killing three children and three staff members, there is an active coverup of what would make a young man or woman want to murder...

If transgenderism is a naturally occurring biological phenomenon, it should be evenly distributed across the population, instead the latest demographic report from a UCLA sexuality institute that uses CDC numbers shows that more than half of the ‘transgender’ population is under 24. The Williams Institute at UCLA law school broke down transgender demographics to find that 54% of the ‘transgender’ population was under 24 years old. Even more revealingly, the percentages fall sharply as ages rise and rise even more intensely as ages drop. After 25, transgenderism falls off a cliff, nearly disappears after 35 (and hardly exists for those...

Autism claims rose from $3 million to $400 million. The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning. Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together. The pattern in both Somali meals for children...

“We had so much money it was hard to get it out the door,” a Kamala ally said after the election even as her campaign was still sending out texts to donors begging them to send more cash. “Hi Team, It’s Kamala, The election isn’t what we wanted, but I will never give up the fight,” a post-election text message solicited donors to replace all the money that went out the door. In Jan 2025, even as President Trump was preparing for his inauguration, the ‘Harris Fight Fund’ was still milking recurring donations even though there was nothing left to...

This is what a banana republic looks like. How many ways is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s gerrymandering illegal? It specifically violates what voters enacted by setting up an independent commission to handle redistricting. It violates the Voting Rights Act by disenfranchising white and Asian voters. And it’s a constitutional amendment that’s being rushed out the door specifically in violation of state law. When Newsom decided to gerrymander California to gain 94% control for his party, which represents only 45% of Californians, Democrats rushed to do his bidding by taking unrelated bills and filling them with his election rigging agenda without giving...

The battle between Texas and Democrat states over gerrymandering seems likely to touch on the biggest driver of Democrat gerrymandering which fundamentally altered the political balance of power in state after state. Louisiana v. Callais is likely headed for a big Supreme Court decision that will fundamentally change how the Voting Rights Act enforces minority districts. There’s nothing to celebrate about the 60th anniversary of the VRA, a civil rights era relic which long ago stopped fighting segregation and instead enforced partisan gerrymandering with no end in sight. When the Supreme Court began allowing VRA ‘monitoring’ of elections in some...

Hurricane Erin is approaching Puerto Rico. So you know what that means, within 48 hours, Anderson Cooper and a trained elite CNN camera will walk ashore on a sandy beach in Puerto Rico to interview a local lefty official who will claim that because of Trump everyone is dead. Hurricanes usually devastate Puerto Rico because even a small leaf can take down the island’s entire electric grid which is made out of wishful thinking and money laundering (plus some solar panels) and despite nearly killing President Truman as part of a demand for the island’s independence, no one can figure...

The last election shattered the complacency of the ruling class. For the first time in a long time, the men and women who believed that the future belonged to them, no longer did. The culture war, they began admitting in the post-election moratoriums, had gone against them. They had not just lost an election, they had fallen away from the zeitgeist into their own echo chamber. And no one wanted what they were selling. The Democrats and the larger movement around them has stumbled trying to make a comeback. But they have had a consistent strategy beyond the clumsy efforts...

“It can be just devastating to watch a child in that state” Marijuana lobbyists promised states like Colorado and California that they could legalize marijuana and make lots of money. What actually happened is that the illegal businesses, especially those controlled by cartels and triads, soared, while the ‘legal’ taxable businesses struggled to compete because of high taxes and high prices. Social problems caused by a boom in marijuana use soared, boosting the homeless crisis in Denver, ground zero for drug legalization, and major cities where pot had been legalized. There’s also another side effect.

“I watched the black-white stuff start on Thursday night.” In the 2024 election, Barack Obama found himself in the unexpected position of fighting against the rise of the second black president. Opposing him was nearly every black Democrat, from Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped put Biden in the White House in exchange for promises to appoint a black woman as his VP and to the Supreme Court, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who were determined to make Kamala the candidate. Biden’s debate collapse had created a historic moment of the worst possible kind. Dems needed...

Truly glorious irony. The state attorney general has asked a federal judge in Mississippi to explain errors in a recent ruling, which some lawyers speculated were made by artificial intelligence. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate issued a temporary restraining order on July 20 that paused the enforcement of a state law that prohibits diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools. But the order was riddled with mistakes — naming plaintiffs who weren’t parties to the suit, quoting state law incorrectly and referring to cases that don’t appear to exist.

What really is and isn’t eugenics.Somewhere on Madison Avenue an ad exec pitched his boss on an edgy proposal. “Let’s do a generic jeans ad, but put an attractive white woman in it.” TikTok influencers, who had come of age after 2019 (and the last time a white person appeared in an ad) had their minds blown. The media declared that the American Eagle ad, a company founded by Jews and currently run by a philanthropist who funds translations of the Bible, was the second coming of the Third Reich. Supporters of Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by actual eugenicists...

Israel isn’t committing genocide - it’s resisting genocide. On Oct 7, 2023, thousands of Muslim Jihadis swept from Gaza into Israel, killing, torturing, raping and kidnapping anyone in their path. The victims included not only Israelis or Jews, but Americans and Europeans, Christians and Buddhists, as well as those Bedouins whom the Hamas, PLO and Islamic Jihad attackers did not consider Muslims. Their rationale was not a “Palestinian” cause or any of the later war propaganda myths about an “open air prison”, but an Islamic religious imperative to drive out infidels. That’s why they named their genocidal campaign, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’...

In New York State, Jews have the highest favorable opinion of President Trump. Jews support Trump more than any other religious group, more than Catholics and Protestants, upstate voters, and more than white voters in general. Jews are the only identity group in the state with whom Trump isn’t underwater even at the same time as Sen. Schumer polls worse among Jews than among Catholics or Protestants.
