Not only are Muslims living in the West supposed to hate their “infidel” host nations and neighbors; they are supposed to spy on them by serving as Islam’s “eye” on the West. As discussed here, numerous online fatwas—that is, decrees written by authoritative Muslim scholars (ulema), appearing on respected Islamic websites—insist that Islamic law (shari‘a) requires Muslims living in the West to maintain “enmity and hatred” for their new homeland and its inhabitants. This applies equally to migrant refugees; they are duty bound to hate and be disloyal to those nations welcoming them in and providing them with free food,...

A "marvelous" new world, free of any criticism of Islam, jihad, or Sharia. The tech site Engadget reported Thursday that the far-left legal group Muslim Advocates has filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Facebook for allowing “anti-Muslim hate to spread on the platform, leading to real-world harm.” The organization provided a list of what it claimed were 26 “anti-Muslim hate groups,” including organizations that are dedicated simply to opposing jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others, including my own news site Jihad Watch, the David Horowitz Freedom Center, the Center for Security Policy, and other groups whose...

[This article is excerpted from David Horowitz’s newly published book, The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement Is Destroying America. Mark Levin has described The Enemy Within as “a book for all patriots who understand that our country is in a fight for its life.”] Today Americans are more divided than at any time since the Civil War. So deep and intractable are the divisions that our most fundamental rights – to religious liberty, freedom of speech, and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty - are under relentless attack. We can no longer even agree on so basic a...

A police officer in Virginia has been fired after pointing a gun at, and pepper spraying, a black US army lieutenant during a traffic stop. Army Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario is wearing his uniform in bodycam footage of the incident, filmed in December.

Word of the day: SchadenfreudeThe Long Example: be patient, there’s a complete morality play embedded in here.David Hogg Haz a SadWHERE IT BEGAN:David Hogg decides to start a “progressive pillow party” presumably to stick it to the “conservative pillow guy” because he hates his politics and, of course, Donald Trump. Seems a sound business plan to me. Don’t let the fact that you know nothing about business, pillows, the competition, manufacturing or distribution get in the way of your HOPE and VISION of crushing a Donald Trump supporter – who you hate. so you’ve got that going for you. You’ll...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitted on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that he “should have been more precise” when confronted by the accuracy of the number of jobs that he said would be created by President Joe Biden’s infrastructure proposal. On Buttigieg’s claim to several media outlets, anchor Chris Wallace said, “It turns out the study you’re citing from Moody’s Analytics says the economy will add 16.3 million jobs without the infrastructure bill, and 2.7 million more with it. So it doesn’t, as you said last Sunday, create 19 million jobs. Again, Secretary Buttigieg, why mislead folks?”

The case shows the judiciary is just as fractured as the rest of America, and leftist judges are defiantly ignoring Supreme Court and circuit precedent.On Friday, in a procedural oddity, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals voted to hear the initial appeal in Bristol v. Slatery as a full court, rather than allowing the case to proceed as normal before a three-judge panel. The case involved abortion, and the takeaways are two-fold: The judiciary is just as fractured as the rest of America, and leftist judges are defiantly ignoring Supreme Court and circuit precedent.To understand the significance of the Sixth...

A nuclear facility in Iran was hit by "sabotage" a day after it unveiled new uranium enrichment equipment, the country's top nuclear official says. Ali Akbar Salehi did not say who was to blame for the "terrorist act", which caused a power failure at the Natanz complex south of Tehran on Sunday. Israeli public media, however, cited intelligence sources who said it was the result of an Israeli cyber-attack. Israel has not commented on the incident directly. But in recent days it has ramped up its warnings about Iran's nuclear programme. The latest incident comes as diplomatic efforts to revive...

Joe Biden reportedly spent Sunday afternoon in an unscheduled meeting in the Oval Office with his ‘senior team’, according to the White House. Biden, who is spending a rare weekend at the Executive Mansion, also had an unscheduled meeting with his senior team on Saturday. The unusual meetings come as Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned both Russia and China about military attacks on Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively, in response to threatening military maneuvers in recent days. (Also in the news was Iran’s nuclear facility in Natanz going dark, with some reports crediting an alleged cyber attack by Israel.)...

The focus of President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill is allegedly to address aging infrastructure across the country, but the massive bill covers a vast amount of other spending, including money for “diversifying” neighborhoods. This portion of Biden’s American Jobs Plan would change zoning laws to end single family home neighborhoods and allow for multiple unit “affordable” or low-income rental housing.

“‘Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; what do you think?’ They answered and said, ‘He is deserving of death!’” (Matthew 26:65-66). Like many through the centuries, members of the Sanhedrin rejected Jesus Christ without fairly judging all the evidence. Lynching is an activity we don’t hear much about today. But during earlier generations, the heinous crime occurred quite regularly. Innocent people, or those merely presumed guilty (prior to any trial), were tortured and killed, usually by angry, hateful mobs. Often the person lynched was a victim of racial or political prejudice or some other irrational fear held by the...

Story at a glance Researchers reviewed the positive COVID-19 test results of 800 people--400 vaccinated and the same number unvaccinated. The South African variant was 8 times more likely to show up in the test of a person who received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The findings defied researchers initial expectations, although they concluded that given the relatively small sample size more research is needed. ______________________________________________________________ Israeli researchers found in a study released Saturday that the COVID-19 mutation first discovered in South Africa has a greater likelihood of “breaking through” the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine than other prominent variants. The study,...

These globalist corporate interests deal with heavy regulatory and tax regimes in communist and socialist countries all over the world. A low tax and regulatory scheme that mainly benefits small businesses in the U.S. is not in their best interests. So, here in the U.S., they are all in favor of more regulations and heavier taxes that mainly disadvantage their small competitors. Over the past year, we saw the very same principle of self-interest at work with the heavy COVID restrictions. Wal-Mart and Target and Starbucks and Apple and AT&T and all these other giant corporations were all for that...

The South Africa variant of the coronavirus affects vaccinated individuals more than those who are unvaccinated, according to a new study from Tel Aviv University and Israel’s largest healthcare provider.The study, which was published Saturday and still requires peer review, looked at 400 individuals who tested positive for the coronavirus despite receiving at least one dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and compared the prevalence of the South African variant, B.1.351, with the same number of people who have not yet received a vaccination.(snip)Not only could the variant “break through” protections offered by the Pfizer vaccine, but it uniquely affects those...

Retired ICE Special Agent Victor Avila joined 100 Percent Fed Up and the Gateway Pundit today on a LIVE podcast to explain what’s really happening on our southern border—and it’s worse than everyone thought. Victor explained that in addition to COVID, the massive influx of illegal immigrants are bringing other dangerous viruses and diseases to the U.S. Thanks to Biden’s $86 million contribution that was allotted courtesy of the American taxpayer, to house tens of thousands of foreign invaders, the illegal aliens who are COVID positive are being shipped out to hotels or transported by plane to locations across America....

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Republicans were willing to negotiate with President Joe Biden on his infrastructure package. Wicker said, “Well, listen, we’re willing to negotiate a much smaller package.”

Before the Southern Poverty Law Center chose to hide this information, black nationalist groups on its hate-group list had been growing four-fold since 2000.In the wake of a follower of black nationalist leader Louis Farrakhan murdering a Capitol Police officer this month, corporate media outlets are declining to connect his actions to his extremist beliefs. This appears to be becoming the standard for such cases. A look at the deeper ecosystem of media and narrative construction helps explain why.In response to an Andrew Sullivan article about the recent Atlanta killings in which he noted black Americans are overrepresented in FBI...
