Piss Christ? Piss Koran! — Part 3: Crisis (This is the third installment of a story by Matthew Bracken, which is being serialized here in four parts.) As the two SWAT commandos slid down their ropes, the chopper lifted for a moment, and one of them was dragged against the crane’s guy wire. He was flicked from his descent line, but he managed to grab hold of the thick steel cable. The helicopter dropped again, its rotors nearly intersecting the cable, but it banked away, dipped its nose, shot forward and corkscrewed downward, the other commando swinging out below its...

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.—George Santayana (1863-1952) Question: What do all the following statements have in common? Charles “The Hammer” Martel defeated the Moors as they advanced toward Paris in 732 AD.

The truth is needed in order to stand a chance in understanding the threats associated with unabated immigration and Islamic jihad I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, and Jewish people, are the targets of persecution and intimidation by Radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence. It’s not just a national security issue. It is a quality of life issue. If we want to protect the quality of life for all Americans—women and children, gay and straight, Jews and Christians and all people—then we need to tell the truth about Radical Islam.—Donald J....

Central Florida Muslims gave their blood. They gave their money. And they resolved to stand united in mourning with members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community shaken by Sunday's mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. "There is never, ever any justification for such unacceptable crimes against humanity, crimes against God, crimes against our country," said Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Florida branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations...

No joke!

To my gay friends; I know, you think I don’t have gay friends, but I have many customers who are gay and I often spend hours talking to them, while I am working, like I do with my straight customers. However, this post is for all the gay people, not just those who own horses. There was a terrible tragedy in Orlando, this past weekend. I can imagine the pain and feelings of remorse that are running through the gay community, but let me tell you, there are feelings of sadness and grief in the conservative community as well. The...

WASHINGTON -- President Obama lashed out at those criticizing him for not using the term "radical Islam," particularly "politicians who tweet," as "yapping" but doing nothing to solve the problem of terrorism. Obama met with his National Security Council in the Diplomatic Room at the Treasury Department this morning, ......... "For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize the administration and me for not using the phrase 'radical Islam.' That's the key, they tell us. We cannot beat ISIL...

Nothing here is what a confused and deceived culture thinks it is. Unlike a lot of celebrities, I do not think Jimmy Fallon is actively hostile toward the traditions of this nation, nor toward Christianity. I think for the most part he just tries to get along with everyone and finds it easier to go with the flow of the prevailing culture rather than to think too deeply about things. But either of the two stances - active hostility or passive acceptance - gets you to the same delusional conclusion, which is why Fallon’s brief and clearly heartfelt statement about...

'Marginalized because of his Muslim faith' Brace yourself, because your blood’s about to boil. According to Fox News’ Catherine Herridge, the FBI performed a thorough 10-month investigation of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen. As Herridge reports, “He told his co-workers that he had family connections to Al Qaeda, that he was a member of a Shia terrorism organization, and that he hoped law enforcement would raid his home and assault his wife so that he could then retaliate and martyr himself.” Here’s the really bad part:

NASHUA, N.H. —As the mass shooting in Orlando has Muslims across the country worried about backlash, the members of one mosque in Nashua want to remind people that Islam is a religion of peace. Despite the peaceful atmosphere during prayer time at the Islamic Society of Greater Nashua, at least one member told News 9’s Shelley Walcott that he is concerned. “We are already coming out of the shock of San Bernardino, and then all the other bad things that are happening and then this,” said Hassan Jafri. Omar Mateen, the man responsible for killing 49 people at the Pulse...

American elections rarely make the Indian news. This massive democracy has perennial political changes of its own to worry about. But US presidential candidate Donald Trump has found his way into the hearts of a strident few in India, where his name is starting to grab headlines. The rhetoric of these fans is strikingly similar to some of Trump’s most extreme backers within the US — except that these aren’t American white supremacists who demonize Muslims. They’re far-right Indian Hindus who demonize Muslims. Last month, a group known as the Hindu Sena held a holy fire ritual in New Delhi...

Evidence proves that the shooter who killed 50 people at a gay night club in Orlando on Sunday called 911 and pledged allegiance to ISIS. Other reports reveal that the terror cell has claimed responsibility for the mass murder. The facts haven't stopped some, however, from blaming the carnage on the "Christian right." Chase Strangio, a lawyer for the ACLU's LGBT & AIDS Project, is convinced they're the real enemy....

We’re at ringside folks and this should be a good one. Hillary’s backers assumed she’d take the crown without much of a fight, but Trump has other ideas. The Clinton Team is used to delivering hits without their opponents laying a glove on them. But they have never seen the likes of Donald Trump and his “Bum of the Month Club” where he beat sixteen rivals in nine months. He looks fresh. He looks ready. Against Hillary, he says he will “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Her hands can’t hit what her eyes can’t see.” The...

The US has the capability to prevent terrorist attacks such as the nightclub massacre in the US state of Florida but opposition from US officials, including President Barack Obama, to mosque surveillance robs law-enforcement of needed intelligence, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in a television interview on Monday. In his presidential campaign, Trump has advocated monitoring mosques and Muslim communities to identify individuals who are being radicalized to commit terrorist attacks. "We need more intelligence, we need a stronger intelligence community," Trump told Fox News. "Obama won’t do that because he doesn’t want to single out this group."...

We've argued from the beginning that Trump is conducting a brilliant psy-war strategy against the enemy media* like the New York Times. It's really brilliant, because it's double-barreled. Let's call it Trump's double-barreled shotgun strategy. Today we can we see how he is implementing it, day by day. Trump's generalship is fabulous. He has probably used his DBS strategy before in his showbiz and business careers. I don't know. But you can watch it evolve from day to day. You decide if his DBS strategy works. I think it's George Patton against the Panzer Brigades. Here's how it goes. The...

These questions have to be answered about the Islamist terror attack on peaceful people who did not bother anyone but a hateful, registered Democrat. 1) How did the murderer’s family get into our country? 2) Were they accepted as “refugees” and was the program that was constructed by liberals and Democrats to bring in more beholding voters the same that brought in the scum that murdered innocent people watching the Boston Marathon? 3) Are we sure the shooter acted alone? 4) Had he been to the club previously; does anyone remember him there? 5) Was he a self-hating Muslim homosexual...

Political Correctness: There are so many lies being told now by our leaders in authority who have completely betrayed our trust. Jesus said that we can know the genuine value or worthiness of any person or group by simply looking at the quality of what they produce. Specifically, he said: “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good...

The false narrative emerging from the media seeks to make a few points, all of which are red herrings and straw men designed to take attention from the truth. The shooter, Omar Mateen, was homophobic because he hated gays. Mateen was unstable because he was mean and beat his wife Mateen had too much unfettered access to guns Mateen was not religiously motivated Story after story references these points, and they quote each other liberally (take the pun as you wish).

I have read the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah and studied the teaching of Mohammad and I can say, Liberty and Islam cannot coexist. Free Speech and Islam cannot coexist. Women's Rights and Islam cannot coexist. Human Rights and Islam cannot coexist. Critical Thinking and Islam cannot coexist. Weapons of Mass Destruction and Islam cannot coexist. The future and Islam cannot coexist. Islam is Islam, there are no modifiers. In plain language, there is no such thing as RADICAL Islam. Over 1400 years Muslims have murdered 320,000,000 innocent people and destroyed heritage and culture in the name of Islam. (list of...
