Muslim mobs instead took over, waving terrorist flags and screaming, “Where are the Jews” and F___ the Jews” while the authorities did nothing. Despite the widespread availability of videos and eyewitness accounts, the authorities and the media vocally denied it ever happened. Arson attacks at two synagogues, one of which was set on fire...

Casey Robert Goonan was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison after a string of firebombings and arsons in the Bay Area. The court applied a terrorism enhancement, and the result should remind anyone tempted by violent activism that the system takes these attacks seriously. On June 1, Goonan placed a bag of six incendiary devices under a UC Police Department patrol car near the UC Berkeley campus, an act caught on surveillance video. Ten days later he attacked an...

The kids were in for quite a shock when they went out for recess at Our Lady Immaculate School in north Dublin and they were met with a severed human hand on the playground. The police were called and immediately cordoned off the area to investigate. I wasn't able to find it, which is quite a shame, but security footage showed that the hand was left on the playground by a bird. However, police do have an idea of whose hand it was.

California Democrats are absolutely melting down over President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles in response to the violent anti-ICE riots engulfing the city. As federal law enforcement officers face attacks, vandalism, and open hostility from radical agitators, Trump is stepping in where state leadership has failed and restoring order and protecting those tasked with upholding our immigration laws. Instead of condemning the chaos, Democrats such as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) are throwing tantrums over the presence of the federal authorities cracking down on chaos. Moments after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned that active-duty...

Whenever the far left in the U.S. loses an argument — called an election — it suddenly decides it’s time to take to the streets and get violent. Now is just such a time, as America experiences a new spasm of home-grown anti-Trump, anti-Musk terrorism. It shouldn’t be tolerated. Whether it’s taking pot shots at the president, violently demonstrating in support of murderous terrorists, “swatting” people they don’t like, or destroying cars made by a person they now despise, our country once again finds extremists threatening us and our liberty. And, no surprise, it’s nearly all from the far left...

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats are demanding the release of Columbia University student and pro-Hamas protester Mahmoud Khalil. While House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is accusing the Trump administration of “authoritarianism,” the Democrats are about to be embarrassed. Khalil is a leader of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, one of more than 150 pro-terrorism groups I identified in my comprehensive study for the Capital Research Center, “Marching Toward Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israeli Protest Movement.”...
