The United States has formally recognized Israel’s sovereign control over the Golan Heights. In a White House ceremony today with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump once again aligned American policy with reality – and the geostrategic interests of the United States. After all, having the high ground and aquifers of the Golan firmly in Israel’s hands means that such assets cannot be weaponized by her Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah enemies – and ours. Doing otherwise would be a sure-fire formula for regional war, or worse. So, will President Trump apply the same logic to the West Bank, another...

It’s also pledged to tackle “misinformation” and “unhealthy conversation,” using these loaded terms as excuses to ban a wide range of anti-progressive dissidents from the platform. But when innocent conservative high school kids are flooded with violent threats, targeted harassment and doxing on the basis of media-promoted misinformation, Jack Dorsey and his staff seem to do nothing — it even briefly promoted the smears. Over the past 48 hours, an angry mob of Twitter users — many of them with blue checkmarks...

Democrats are fighting mad over the impasse between President Trump and Nancy Pelosi that has resulted in a government shutdown over funding of border security and one of them has once again suggested that violence is a legitimate solution to political differences.

Washington in May reimposed sanctions on Tehran, after President Donald Trump pulled out of a 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran under which they had been lifted. “Submitting to the West headed by America would be treason against our religion ... and against the future generations of this region,” Rouhani told an international conference on Islamic unity in Tehran, in a speech broadcast live on state television. “We have a choice to either roll out red...

The attacker, Farzad Fazeli, an Iranian Clinton supporter, had previously posted, “Don Trump won’t clean his own house, so he’s too dirty to know right from wrong.

Violence: Already angry over their inability to control the flow of politics in Washington, the militant Left is getting even angrier. And more militant. Following a week in which Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee were unable to stop a hugely qualified constitutional jurist, Brett Kavanaugh, from advancing to a vote of the full Senate despite the use of a “hail Mary” sexual assault allegation, the perpetually triggered Left is lurching towards a full meltdown, even to the point of openly calling for violence against all conservatives and supporters of POTUS Donald Trump. As noted by PJ Media, self-avowed Communists...
