Don’t Make the Muslims Angry Our abusive relationship with Islam has to end. October 27, 2015 Daniel Greenfield 124 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. The Secretary of State of the United States traveled to the Muslim country of Jordan to assure its Foreign Minister that Jews would not be praying any more at the holiest site in Judaism. As Kerry put it, “It is Muslims who pray on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif and non-Muslims who visit.” Israel is often accused of apartheid and segregation, but here...

Zachary King discusses Bohemian Grove, Satanism, the Illuminati, Entertainment and current events Zachary King was born into a Baptist home. His life would eventually lead him into attending numerous visits to BOHEMIAN GROVE as a WIZARD and his early years prepared him for that. At 10 years of age he began practicing magick, at 13 he joined a satanic coven and had broken all 10 Commandments by 15. From his teen years to adulthood he worked his way up to High Wizard in the coven and actively pushed satan’s agenda including ritualistic abortions and breaking up churches. Zack attended Bohemian...

Often in political conversation, one hears chastisement of the so-called “uninformed voter,” or laments about the ignorance of the people. Some might even be so arrogant as to prefer the “uninformed” not involve themselves in government at all. Of course, the label “uniformed” often means anyone who disagrees with the person casting the label. But do we really want to limit involvement of the people in public affairs? The Architects of our Republic made it clear that the people are the only keepers of our unalienable rights and the only true protectors of the Constitution. It is through the involvement...

A lot of people in this country would love to have another eight years of what they recall as 'Clinton-era prosperity'. Sure, in-reality he inherited an economy with solid underpinnings and Cold War enemies at-our-feet (from Reagan), then enjoyed -and took credit for- the fruits of the Gipper's long-term investment-based tax cuts. A massive tech boom also fell in Bubba's lap. But with voters, perception beats reality every time... And to be fair, Clinton mostly didn't screw it up, either- he believed in political 'triangulation' when practical -unlike the radical, deranged Obama regime- Newt Gingrich can be thanked for much of Bill Clinton's...

Seriously, this must be awkward for the Reds. Going clockwise, you’ve got: Unrestricted trade:Secret ballots:Flagrant carbon emissionsAutomationMechanized agricultureCOAL COAL COAL ZOMG COALAnd COAL COAL COAL ZOMG THEY’RE BURNING COAL Also: everybody in the picture is white and male.  They couldn’t even bring in a  black dude to be one of the two shaking hands in the logo.  Seriously, if Eugene Debs was running today they’d drum him out of the Movement.  Probably while flinging stones.Moe Lane

Oct. 26 falls on a Thursday this year. Ask the significance of the date, and you're likely to draw some puzzled looks — five more days to stock up for Halloween? It's a measure of men like Col. Mitchell Paige and Rear Adm. Willis A. "Ching Chong China" Lee that they wouldn't have had it any other way. What they did 58 years ago, they did precisely so their grandchildren could live in a land of peace and plenty. Whether we've properly safeguarded the freedoms they fought to leave us, may be a discussion best left for another day. Today...

Jeb! says that he 'could be doing a lot of cool stuff'  if he wasn't burdened by a hereditary greatness that  demands he serve Bush-Rove Machine donors... Like making guacamole in official ($75) Jeb! Guaca-Bowla Or selling ugly shirts with a pic of himself as a hippy  Smoking weed Selling weed Smuggling coke/heroin Babbling incoherently on Twitter Teaching his spoiled, lazy wife to speak English Boring people to death He could get a lobotomy just for fun Finally do something about that black hand (gangrene?) Maybe sit around saying stupid things... Or just catch-up on quality time with La Familia... [graphics]

"View from Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn," 1881, by Rudolph Cronau. (Image: Public Domain/WikiCommons)The 300-year-old graveyard at Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan today serves as a respite from the frenzy of the Financial District. Small groups of tourists wander the stone pathways, stepping occasionally onto the manicured lawn to peer more closely at tilting eighteenth century tombstones of notable New Yorkers, like Alexander Hamilton, laid to rest in Trinity in 1804 after succumbing to the wounds from his duel with Aaron Burr. A cursory examination of the standing tombstones and stone memorials might lead one to guess the two and a half...

Tuesday, October 20, 2015 Merkel's Muslim Madness Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog German Chancellor Angela Merkel insisted that refusing to take in Muslim migrants is a “danger for Europe.” Merkel as usual had it backward. It’s her program of taking in Muslim migrants that represents the gravest threat to the freedom and future of Europe since the fall of the Soviet Union. Merkel may have already doomed Germany. The Bild newspaper published a leaked secret government document estimating that the number of migrants invading Europe this year might reach 1.5 million. And that bad news gets...

Friday, October 23, 2015 The Death of Europe Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog European leaders talk about two things these days; preserving European values by taking in Muslim migrants and integrating Muslim migrants into Europe by getting them to adopt European values. It does not occur to them that their plan to save European values depends on killing European values. The same European values that require Sweden, a country of less than 10 million, to take in 180,000 Muslim migrants in one year also expects the new “Swedes” to celebrate tolerance, feminism and gay marriage. Instead...

Most of my carry is with a beat up Glock 17 and/or the no longer manufactured S&W 337.  The 337 has a 3.2 inch barrel on the Scandium frame with the titanium cylinder.  Loaded, the Glock weighs a smidgen under two pounds (31.8 ounces); the 337, just under 1 pound (15.4 ounces), according to my digital scale.  The ballistics of 9mm+P delivers a 115 grain .355 inch projectile at about 1350 fps; the .38+P, a 125 grain .357 inch projectile at about 950 fps.  The revolver has high viz adjustible sights and Crimson Trace grips.    The Glock has TruGlo...

In order to defeat Palestinian terrorism, it is necessary to defy political correctness, shifting gears from chasing individual terroristic mosquitoes to draining the terroristic swamp In contrast to national liberation movements, Palestinian terrorism has targeted—deliberately, institutionally and systematically—Arab and Israeli non-combatants, sometimes hitting combatants. Palestinian terrorism has haunted Arab societies in Jordan (especially during the 1968-1970 PLO terrorism), in Lebanon (particularly during the 1971-1982 civil wars), in Kuwait (during the 1990 invasion by Saddam Hussein), in Iraq (until 2002, serving as an arm of Saddam Hussein’s ruthless domestic oppression), in Syria (until 2012, bolstering Assad’s regime of horror) and currently...

I find most all vehicles interesting somehow -historically, artistically, or the technology- but was always more of a 'car guy' than into bikes. I've ridden a little but never actually owned a street bike of any sort. So forgive me if I'm out-of-it but I never even heard of the 1981-83 'Honda Motocompo' portable motorcycle until last week, just stumbled across it on the net.  Seems to have quite a following, and the dandy lil' 50cc scooter-ish thing was meant to be ordered along with new cars (in Japan) too, where it could be purchased as an option- it fit neatly...

I attended the  University of Wisconsin, Madison, for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees.  I was on the pistol team for most of my undergraduate career, but I was only eligible for one year as a graduate student.  While the university rules were hostile to firearms ownership in the 1970s, the social atmosphere was fairly accepting.  I kept a pistol, rifle, and shotgun in my dorm room.  I later learned it was in violation of the rules; everyone knew I had them, including the dorm house-fellow, who was nominally responsible for enforcing the rules.   Perhaps the fact that I...

FULL TITLE: SURVIVING A NUCLEAR ATTACK WITH SPAM, AND OTHER IMAGES FROM COLD WAR FALLOUT SHELTERS A display of essential survival supplies for a well-stocked fallout shelter, c.1961. (Photo: NARA)During the Cold War, as the arms race between Soviet Russia and the United States escalated, the perceived threat of nuclear attack became increasingly heightened. In response, the U.S. developed procedures to protect its citizens should the worst happen. In 1956, the National Emergency Alarm Repeater—NEAR—warning siren device was implemented to alert citizens to a nuclear attack. Students were drilled in "duck and cover" practices at schools. Books with titles such as Nuclear War...

The worst thing is when I try to explain to somebody why it's good that Trump is still in the GOP primary race -even if it's at a perceived short-term cost to their own beloved candidate- and you get instant outrage and a condescending 'don't you now he's a charlatan?' - 'just look into his background' and 'not a real conservative' (gee whiz thanks, I'm dumber than Joe Biden's big toe and would surely just wander around in the dark without such illuminating input)... The truth is that regardless of complex past and (perhaps) dubious credibility, Trump has proven a far more powerful political...

I like Dr Ben Carson. I respect Ben Carson. I admire what he made of himself and how he's seemed to have lived his life. I agree with almost everything that comes out of his mouth. But what can this man possibly offer as a leader that we wouldn't simply get more-and-better of from Ted Cruz? Ben Carson is a good man, and it's difficult to 'attack' him on any specific major issue- he's said some dumb things about guns before, but generally there's not much daylight between our views. Alas, after enduring the utterly-unqualified Obama wreck the country, how is...

Sorry I ever defended him and his corrupt clan... Apparently the Bushes are in the same boat as the Clintons now, where they're SO deeply indebted to various donors they're not able to retire -even if they wanted to- then ride quietly off into the sunset just because the voters want nothing to do with them...  These two boundlessly-greedy political dynasties will never go away unless shoved off the cliff- as this country is presently fixin to do. Perhaps Dubya was hoping a Jeb! administration could salvage his own legacy, just like GWB himself aspired to finish his father's unfinished chores...

Saturday, October 17, 2015 Israel Must Deport the PLO Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog On September 13, 1993, Arafat and Rabin shook hands over the Oslo Accord in the Rose Garden. At the end of this September, the PLO’s Abbas finally officially disavowed the Oslo Accords. The only reason the 80-year-old dictator of the PLO has a new $13 million palace, even while claiming to be short of funds, a $100 million bank account and a 1,000 member presidential guard is because of the same agreement with Israel that he just disavowed. The PLO repeatedly violated...
