Except for Buenos Aires and the Upper East Side of New York, my corner of Washington, D.C. has the highest ratio of psychiatrists and psychologists per neurasthenic in the world. We also have the country’s most successful independent bookstore, where the shrinks, lawyers and political geniuses that populate our neighborhood hawk their books to each other. And me. Well, I’m always on the lookout for new cookbooks to add to the collection, which is taking over all four floors of our house. Having been mesmerized by the Food Section review of Elizabeth Warren’s latest, Sioux Sous Vide in this week’s...

This Thursday marks the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 al Qaeda terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93. On that infamous day, 19 hijackers killed 2,996 innocents in a grand declaration of war against the United States, leaving a permanent scar in Manhattan’s skyline. Two wars followed, both which were tentatively won by President George W. Bush, and subsequently lost by President Barack Obama. Indeed, the emergence of the Islamic State (aka ISIS/ISIL) can be traced directly back to the events that followed September 11, 2001. Today, leaders in our federal...

Does Obama ever mention Christians or Jews or Hindus when he makes his long-winded Ramadan messages? No. But he’s used his holiday message to Jews to equate the liberation of Jews from 400 years of slavery to the Islamic supremacist revolutions in Egypt, Libya etc. He’s even strongarmed Rabbis to politicize the bema on high holy days.It’s Easter, Obama. Address the mass persecution, oppression and slaughter of Christians across the Muslim world.No, instead he proselytize for Islam. On Easter. It’s sick. “Obama Praises Muslims in Easter Message,” Frontpage, April 20, 2014It just wouldn’t be Easter… without Muslims. Obama said this...

In announcing his support for the Ground Zero Mosque – the 15-story "cultural center" two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center (a project which has been compared to spraying swastikas on a memorial to Holocaust victims), Barack – "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation" – Obama lectured us, "I believe Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else." Moreover, "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." Except for Christians. Mikey Weinstein said "fundamentalist Christians" are "monsters of human degradation, marginalization, humiliation and tyranny" who would establish...

Their relationship, almost from the outset, has been frostier than not, a mutual antipathy palpable in many of their previous encounters. Two years ago, Barack Obama reportedly left Benjamin Netanyahu to kick his heels in a White House anteroom, a snub delivered to show the president's irritation over Israel's settlement policy in the West Bank. In May, the Israeli prime minister struck back, publicly scolding his purse-lipped host for the borders he proposed of a future Palestinian state. When the two men meet in Washington on Monday, Mr Obama will find his guest once more at his most combative. But...

I’m shaking my head. Never did I ever think we’d see the day when our own government, our own president, would be in collusion with our enemies. I can almost tolerate ignorance and naivety, a la Jimmy Carter. But not when leaders we trust are working on behalf of the other side. » If you like this article, please subscribe to our daily newsletter rsn_betrayal_175The president has overseen a new executive order, via the Justice Department, to prohibit the mention of “Islam” in the training federal law enforcement training manuals. That’s right folks. Law enforcement training can no longer refer...

At least one U.S. military serviceman has been arrested for allegedly planning another attack on Ft. Hood, Fox News has learned exclusively. According to an Army source, one AWOL soldier is in the custody of the Killeen Police Department near Ft. Hood. He was not captured on base. According to another source, two other U.S. soldiers were also arrested earlier today when they were found in possession of weapons and explosives. Fox News has obtained the names of three possible suspects, but is currently withholding that information.

Many people have been accused of either refusing to believe or not making it clear enough that the president is an avowed Christian. A much-discussed poll suggested last week that nearly one-in-five Americans erroneously believe President Obama is a Muslim. The White House was even forced to put out a statement affirming Obama's Christian faith. While the reason for this misconception is unclear, there's no shortage of people on both sides of the political aisle who have explicitly embraced the falsehood or sought to expand its currency. Just this week Todd Herman, the new communications director of the Republican National...

The US Constitution is being intentionally destroyed along with the United States’ currency, economy, and the liberty of its people. This is generally being accomplished through the manipulations of our own national leadership elite along with an elite international cartel. You may very well recognize the Players. The New World Order Plot Here is the Helicopter View of 6 forces pushing for World Government (WG). The US, the US Constitution, and the American People are all that prevent the implementation of a WG and therefore all three must be destroyed. The WG will be under the control of the United...

Every time the question about President Barack Obama's faith is brought up, the wizards of smart in the mainstream media get up in arms about "right-wingers" or "tea partiers" perpetuating those allegations. But is it possible that by devoting so much attention to these issues of Obama's faith and his citizenship, the media are creating the very feeding frenzy they're appalled by? On CNN's Aug. 19 "The Situation Room," host Wolf Blitzer led his program off with at what first glance is a startling chyron: "W.H.: Pres. Obama Isn't Muslim". That graphic was in response to a recent Pew Research...

"What did the President know, and when did he know it?" asked Howard Baker about President Nixon during the Watergate hearings. The carefully planned May 31 ambush of Israeli naval commandos by armed Turkish martyrdom fanatics, in collusion with Jodie Evans of the radical leftist group Code Pink and along with Obama friends Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, raises precisely the same question. Most conspiracy theories are hogwash, but not all of them. Stalinism really was a conspiracy to infiltrate, sabotage, and ultimately conquer the West. It had some spectacular successes, like stealing nuclear secrets from the Manhattan Project, a feat...

Earlier today I posted about the warning Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely issued about the grave danger Israel is in. Following that, I received this from a colleague who has close friends in Israel. Here's what she wrote: I have just received this: from my friend in Israel who moves in high circles there.No attribution possible. It’s from a very trustworthy source who was himself the recipient and knows these people. They send him information clandestinely and they remain incognito, so that they can safely inform Americans of what is actually happening. I’m sure that they would be pleased to have...

When President Obama spoke to the Muslim world in Cairo last June, a large portion of his guests were leaders and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The speech was designed to please them more than supporting the reformist movement in Egypt and across the Muslim world. The Obama administration has hired the first White House Muslim advisor, Dalia Mogahed, who helped with writing Obama’s speech. Mogahed is herself an Islamic ideologue who supports Islamic Sharia and denies any connection between radical Islam and terrorism. Mogahed, who was born in Egypt, has also been a firm defender of the Council on...

The United States is looking to break a taboo and train an elite Indonesian force linked to past abuses, as President Barack Obama courts the world's largest Muslim-majority nation with a visit. The United States cut off support for Kopassus under the so-called Leahy Amendment in 1997, which prohibited training to foreign military units involved in human rights abuses. Kopassus was seen as a key force in the 1975 invasion of East Timor and the 1999 violence when the territory voted for independence.

Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim and always has been a Muslim. His disgraceful conduct in response to the Ft. Hood murders strengthens the case. While campaigning Obama and his lackeys did everything they could to smother the truth about his background, but the truth is now shining through. Leftist websites like Urban Legends and Media Matters led the counterattacks against anyone who raised questions about Obama. CNN boasted of sending a crew to Indonesia to check out the school Obama attended in 1971 and guess what? They were told it was NOT a religious institution when he went there,...

Given that the president's public diplomacy has been aimed so squarely at the Muslim world—aides say he still plans to give a "Muslim speech" from a Muslim-majority country in his first 100 days as president—I wonder if Obama is considering a Muslim for the job.
