As reported by Ben Shapiro in “Stalin-Esque Show Trial At Tufts University,” disciplinary action was brought against the Primary Source, a conservative campus newspaper, for "Islam: Arabic Translation: Submission." We have just read a copy of "Islam: Arabic Translation: Submission" at http://www.thefire.org/public/pdfs/f102e5ae4168a0125d295748d41d0558.pdf?direct and it contains nothing but 100 percent facts about militant "Islam," such as the death fatwa on Salman Rushdie and the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia.

Shareholders in Cordex Petroleums Inc. also included CSL Group Inc., the holding company owned by Prime...

On land, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin has proven himself to be an artful dodger whenever the $100 million in government kickbacks to Liberal-friendly communication agencies is on the discussion table. At sea, Martin, through the company he founded, has been something of a latter day pirate. Canada Steamship Lines may have been turned over to Martin’s sons last year, but it’s always been a private, family-owned company. Having a company run by your sons when you become prime minister hardly makes it arm’s length. . . . . . As the public record shows, Martin is still getting boosts...
