ICNA harbors death squad leader, while promoting domestic violence against women. Joe Kaufman is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative. He was the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23). The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is the American arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), South Asia’s largest Islamist group. As such, ICNA is related to terrorist organizations and spreads fanatic ideologies. Recently, United States Senator from Michigan and Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Debbie Stabenow, gave ICNA an award for community...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 109Psalm 109 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. 1 My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent, 2 for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues. 3 With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause. 4 In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer. 5 They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship. 6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy; let...

I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again Of the place we all lived that has gone plumb insane In the month of March, country called USA And here's what all of the people there say So long, it's been good to know yuh So long, it's been good to know yuh So long, it's been good to know yuh These woky old shmucks are a-gettin your homes And it's time to stop going along Covid-19 hit, and it hit like thunder It f@#$ed us over with a long string of blunders Blocked out twitter posts and "fact-checked" the...

he path was clear for me to finish out the remaining years of my life without ever having had expended a thought about something called the hammer throw. But my plans were dashed. A 31-year-old hammer thrower named Gwen Berry acted out when the Star Spangled Banner was played as she stood on the podium, having won third place for her athletic feats. She didn’t want to hear the song because she was “here to represent those ... who died due to systemic racism … That's why I'm here today.'' "My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports,'' Berry...

June is the month many American families celebrate Father's Day – but thanks to progressive politicians and policies, the number of us who observe the occasion is declining precipitously. Father's Day has always fallen short of generating the attention, sentimentality or commercial activity of Mother's Day. So many children in America now live in single-parent, mother-only households that fatherlessness is, like the crisis at our southern border, a disaster progressive Democrats ignore, deny and avoid. Fatherlessness is one of the most debilitating domestic issues confronting our country. Almost 20 million children in America live in fatherless households. Approximately 40 percent...

Truth is often stranger than fiction, and some people will never accept the truth no matter how much evidence you show them. In this article, I am going to discuss two brand new discoveries that are radically shaking up how scientists view human history. Many of the experts are having a really tough time explaining these new discoveries, because they seem to directly contradict long established narratives that have been taught as “truth” to young students for decades. Unfortunately, we live at a time when narratives have become more important than facts, and scientific authorities have shown that they will...

Indiana State University, a red-state taxpayer-funded institution with an endowment of $70.1 million, spent tens of thousands of dollars to co-sponsor an education conference that is giving a platform to critical race theory activists. Financial documents reviewed by The Federalist upon receipt of a public records request show Indiana State has funneled a total of $95,000 to Black Expo, Inc., a far-left nonprofit. The group hosts an annual education conference for primarily public school and public university teachers. This year’s conference is titled “Education Equity: The Role of Schools and Universities in Leveling the Playing Field.”

President Biden’s airstrikes over the weekend against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria have added fuel to a simmering debate in Congress over presidential war powers. Top Democrats have backed Biden’s move as a proportionate and necessary response to escalating drone strikes from the militias against U.S. interests in Iraq. But the strikes — the second time Biden has hit the militias — came as Democrats were already working to claw back presidential war powers. And even as several Democrats said they trust Biden’s judgment, they also pushed the White House for further explanation for the latest strikes, with some...

Joe Biden said he “respects” Gwen Berry’s Childish Olympic Protest. Berry called the playing of the National Anthem a “setup” – in that I guess she believes everything is about her, the third place winner in the Olympic tryouts hammer throw competition.“I feel like it was a setup, and they did it on purpose,” Berry said of when the anthem played. “I was pissed, to be honest.”“They had enough opportunities to play the national anthem before we got up there,” Berry said in Oregon, where the Olympic trials are being hosted. “I was thinking about what I should do. Eventually...

Over the past few months I have had several posts on the subject of audacious big tech deplatformings of mainstream conservative opinions, for example here on February 22 and here on March 4. But the big tech social media enterprises like Twitter, Facebook and Google are only one front of the progressive program to suppress any speech that does not toe the official orthodox line. I thought it might be time for a small roundup of recent instances. Center of the American Experiment, Raise Our Standards Tour.Center of the American Experiment (CAE) is a Minnesota-based think tank headed by a...

Legendary recording artist Dionne Warwick says "flat-out procrastination" by politicians on Capitol Hill over many years is the main reason why recording artists and musicians still do not collect royalties from AM/FM radio. Songwriters, not musicians or vocalists, are paid royalties for the music played on AM/FM radio. "Procrastination, just flat out procrastination," Warwick, a five-time Grammy Award winner, said during an interview after the bipartisan American Music Fairness Act was unveiled. "It should have happened 60 years ago when it was brought to the attention of Congress in the Senate by Frank Sinatra and, for whatever reason, they feigned...

The traditional watching of Independence Day fireworks from the State House lawn won’t happen this year. In its place, several organizations will offer West African dance and music.

About that clash between a British destroyer and Russian warplanes and warships in the Black Sea last week: there are conflicting versions. The Kremlin version is the more dramatic. HMS Defender, says Moscow, entered the Black Sea, made port in Odessa, Ukraine, and then sailed for Batumi on the coast of Georgia. However, the British warship traversed Russia's territorial waters at the tip of the Crimean peninsula, near Sevastopol, Russia's principal naval base on the Black Sea. The destroyer, say the Russians, had to be diverted by shellfire from a patrol boat and bombs dropped in its path by Sukhoi...

Beta has followed Alpha and they were joined by Gamma and Delta, too, as WHO-designated Variants of Concern (VoC) of the novel coronavirus. While the world is warily tracking the spread of the Delta variant, or B.1.617.2, which was first identified in India in October last year, India itself is worried about Delta-plus. But the march of variants seemingly continues unabated and experts have in recent days said an eye must be kept on the Kappa and Lambda variants, too, both of which have been labelled as Variants of Interest (VoI) by WHO. WHAT IS KAPPA? It is a variant...

Under the bill, Oregon aims to transition entirely to emissions-free electricity by 2040. The legislation lays out a timetable for the state’s two major power companies — Portland General Electric and Pacific Power — to reduce emissions. Additionally, it bans the expansion or new construction of power plants that burn fossil fuels and allocates $50 million in grants for community-based energy projects, among other measures.

Fischetti said that Vance's team said the probe is ongoing. An attorney who represents former President Donald Trump said that last week he asked Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's team for details regarding any charges under consideration and the team noted that they were weighing bringing charges against the Trump organization and specific workers pertaining to alleged failures to shell out money for taxes for corporate benefits and perks. "We asked, 'Is there anything else?'" attorney Ronald Fischetti informed Politico. “They said, 'No.'" Fischetti informed the outlet that Vance's team noted they will not pursue charges against the former president...

Is it time to start using the tactics of the Left? Do you ever wonder how establishment media can go about not even pretending to be objective, or how Democrat politicians can tell you the current surge in crime, illegal border crossings, and rioting last summer are all a figment of your imagination? The CNNs and leftist politicians can do this because it’s not their goal to get you to tune in or get your vote. The Left now has enough of a coalition of immigrants, racist blacks, young morons, self-hating whites, perpetual victims, and government freeloaders to enforce their...

“What I like doing best is Nothing,” Christopher Robin tells Winnie-the-Pooh in A. A. Milne’s 1928 collection of stories, The House at Pooh Corner. The capitalization of “Nothing” is not a typo. Milne is introducing children (and re-introducing their parents) to a deep philosophical point through the voice of a fictional boy and his anthropomorphic stuffed bear. “How do you do Nothing?” Pooh asks. Christopher Robin responds that being outdoors on a lovely day—as they are—sitting on a grassy knoll, enjoying one another’s company, with birds singing in the trees above, is: “a nothing sort of thing.” He further explains,...
