Voters went to the polls April 16 to vote on a new draft constitution that would officially increase the powers of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.The opponents of the bill including the Republican People’s Party (CHP), the main opposition party in Turkey’s parliament, have been trying to fight it in an environment where deviation from the point of view of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is often labeled by the government and its media as “support of terrorism” or “treason.”However, the CHP party is not and has never been a beacon of democracy either. A few days ago,...

The Next Obama: Abdul EL-Sayed Is Being Groomed By George Soros Do you remember the keynote speaker at the DNC in 2004? If you don’t, let me tell you about him. He came onto the stage after years of being groomed by George Soros. He was picked by the Left to be their “champion” of Hope and Change. I guess that gave it away. The keynote speaker at the DNC that year was Barack Hussein Obama. Even my sons, who had never been interested in politics, were mesmerized by this man. His speech launched him as the darling of the...

Police say one person was injured when three explosions went off near the bus of German soccer team Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. The Borussia Dortmund bus was hit as it was traveling to a Champions League match on Tuesday. A letter found after the Dortmund attack claims sport stars “in Germany and other crusader nations” are on a “death list of the Islamic State”.

An Islamist gunman, who has confessed to the killing of 39 people at an Istanbul nightclub on New Year's Day, told a court that he had aimed to kill Christians during his attack, Hurriyet newspaper said on Monday, citing testimony given this weekend. Abdulgadir Masharipov initially planned to attack the area around Taksim Square but switched to the upscale Reina nightclub due to the heightened security measures around the square, Hurriyet said, without saying how it had obtained the document. "I did not take part in any acts before the Reina event. I thought of carrying out an act against...

It has become a staple of diplomatic rhetoric that, whatever problems the United States has with the current government in Turkey, diplomats must ameliorate President Recep Tayyip Erdogan because Turkey is too important to NATO and also a staging ground in any operations against the Islamic State.A Turkish flag (R) flies among others flags of NATO members during the North Atlantic Council (NAC) at the Alliance headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, July 28, 2015.

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has launched his election campaign by calling some Moroccans "scum". Mr Wilders tops opinion polls ahead of the 15 March parliamentary vote, but has seen his lead reduced in recent weeks. He has vowed to ban Muslim immigration and shut mosques if he wins.

Donald Trump has narrowed his search for energy secretary to four people, with former Texas Gov. Rick Perry the leading candidate. People familiar with the president-elect's selection process said two Democratic senators from energy-producing states -- Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia -- are also in the mix, along with Ray Washburne, a Dallas investor and former chairman of the Republican National Committee. If Trump picks any of the four he will break with recent tradition of putting scientists at the top of the Energy Department. Among other things, the agency is responsible for policies...

In the latest scandal set to rock Germany, Spiegel reports that a German intelligence officer has been arrested over a suspected Islamist plot to bomb the agency's headquarters in Cologne, raising fears that the spy agency itself has been infiltrated. The 51-year-old official had made a "partial confession" to the plot, Spiegel reports. *snip* Online chats were apparently found between the suspect and other Islamists in which he attempted to recruit them to the intelligence agency to mount an attack on "non-believers". The man's family reportedly knew nothing of his conversion to Islam and subsequent radicalization.

Democrat-Islamist-Open Borders-One World crowd are in disarray, I had a new idea that added to my prior impression of Trump and the President meeting, reported to you the other day. I got this new idea, that to his utter horror, Trump discovered a dangerous lunatic holding power over the entire world. I think when Donald Trump sat down to talk with Barry Soetoro, in the White House, the other day, he listened and watched for awhile, as Barry pontificated. And Trump gradually came to realize for the first time, that he was dealing with a dangerous psychopath ready to blow...

Full Title: The United Nations Is Run By A Bunch Of Depraved Totalitarians, Villainous Barbarians, And Anti-Semitic Scum The United Nations (UNESCO, to be specific) recently adopted an anti-Israel resolution that disregarded the Jewish connection to the faith’s two holiest sites, the Temple Mount and Western Wall. The motion was supported by 24 nations, including Russia and China. Only six countries opposed it. Now, the UN is too impotent to make history, much less redraft it. Still, it’s never a waste of time to remind people of its long record of empowering cheerleaders and perpetrators of violence against Jews. It’s...

There is said to be probably only one thing standing in the way of an alleged, left-wing, Marxist, Islamist, Globalist takeover of the Former USA (FUSA) “Do you see the story? Do you see anything? It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream…that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt—that notion of being captured by the incredible which is the very essence of dreams…” ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness Are you scared yet? If you maybe had your doubts about President Barack Hussein Obama importing un-vettable (according to the FBI)...

Phoenix, AZ– John McCain issued the following statement today withdrawing his support of Donald Trump: “In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case. “As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by...

He had a history of violence and sexual abuse of women -- almost as if he grew up in a culture that revered violence and thought of non-Muslim women as "uncovered meat." He posted admiration for al-Baghdadi and Khamenei and a call for Muslims to repeat "SubhanAllah" multiple times. Maybe he wasn't a jihadi and there is some mitigating explanation for all of this. When authorities refuse to discuss it and appear to dismiss it out of hand, however, it only reinforces the impression that there is some deliberate effort to cover up jihad attacks -- an impression that authorities...

NEWS 9/11 memorial stirs debate over 'Islamic terrorists' Two words on this 9/11 memorial are stirring a major debate (KTRK) Thursday, September 01, 2016 07:48AM OWEGO, NY (KTRK) -- Two words included on a memorial to victims of the 9-11 terror attacks are now stirring a major debate in New York. A group is taking issue with the words "Islamic terrorists" as they appear on the monument in Owego. The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier worries the wording could encourage hatred towards Muslims living in the city, painting all Muslims with the same brush, they say.

Britain’s leading Islamofascist agitator Anjem Choudary Britain’s leading Islamofascist agitator Anjem Choudary could go to prison for a decade because he has been convicted of supporting Islamic State (a.k.a. Daesh, ISIS, ISIL). Unfortunately the United Kingdom abolished the death penalty in 1998. Breitbart News reports Choudary was convicted at the Old Bailey after jurors heard that he had sworn allegiance to the terrorist group, and urged his followers to do the same in a series of videos broadcast via YouTube.

The Islamic State has confirmed repeatedly that it intends to conquer Europe. In doing this — it is also no secret — it intends to infiltrate the most important structures. So why is it that the Federal Employment Agency is aiding and abetting the efforts of the IS by its actions as a jobs broker? By 2020, Europe will be ungovernable. The CIA predicted that years ago on the basis of various developments. One of the reasons for that is the cave-in to Islamization and the welcoming culture for Islamic fighters, who have, for months now, been unhindered in their...

In December 1997, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the current Turkish president but at the time the mayor of Istanbul, recited a famous poem by Turkish nationalist poet Ziya Gökalp during a speech in the eastern Turkish city of Siirt. One line read: “The minarets are our bayonets, the domes our helmets, the mosques our barracks, and the faithful our soldiers.” At a time when Turkey’s strictly secular military still held sway over Turkish politics, the militarized reference to Islam was interpreted as a threat to the secular order established by modern Turkey’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Erdogan was arrested, sentenced to...

Reflections on the cross-section of crime, war, and public policy... Loudly, clearly, proudly, the Obama administration has declared its solidarity with the immigrant wave from the middle east. Throughout Barack Obama’s two terms – while the United States were at war, trying to stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan, even while he himself started a war against Libya and approved military actions in other countries in the region – the Obama administration has continuously facilitated the immigration of “refugees” from that dangerous, alien territory. We have watched the waves lap up onto our shores, depositing middle easterners in ever greater numbers –...

I noticed on Thursday, one Khizr Khan is going to speak before the former White House dog Chelsea speaks. Why does this party embrace Muslimism even tho Muslims wanna kill those the Democrat Party claims to protect, like gays, atheists, women, etc?? Now, we've seen the story of what Tim Kaine hired a decade ago, a virulent Islamist and Israel-hater (tho both are really the same thing). I'd bet this Khan character is similar. I think something is going on...let's look into it.
