Robert Spencer, When one strong individual stands up, others follow. In 2009, Iran was swept by demonstrations, just as it is now. But at that time, the protesters were shouting “Allahu akbar,” and there was no indication that they wanted anything but reform of the Islamic regime, not the end of the regime itself. This
Peace Through Strength: Another Trump Radicalism?
Brian Birdnow, In the last couple of weeks, the Western world has celebrated another Christmas, notwithstanding the killjoys who insist on arguing about how to extend the greetings of the season.

Trump: The Art of the Insult

Hail, the Queen of Collusion
Michael Reagan, Excuse me, but didn’t I write this column already?

In a column for Newsmax late last year I pointed
