French Make U.S. Look Like WWII France
by Barry Farber. Our schools laid great stress on sportsmanship and fair play. It’s possible I took those lessons to a ridiculous extreme. When I was still in short pants and speaking soprano I was a bit of a World War II prodigy. There was actually a time you could have given me a huge map of the world and any date from the beginning of the war to the ... MORE
John Stossel: Self-Defenseless
Ask the French if they need a 2nd Amendment? What might have happened if a few of the 1,500 concert attendees in Paris' Bataclan theater had guns? The terrorists had time to kill, reload and kill again. The police unit didn't come for more than a half hour. If a few people in the theater were armed, might they have killed the killers? We'll ...

Thomas Sowell: Political Translations
Sugar-coating empty words. It is amazing how many different ways the same thing can be said,
creating totally different impressions. For example, when President
Barack Obama says that defeating ISIS is going to take a long time, how
is that different from saying that he is going to do very little, very
slowly? It is saying the same thing in ... MORE

Paul Joseph Watson: Obama's Compassion Toward ISIS
Obama Gave ISIS 45 minute warning before bombing. The Obama White House is giving ISIS a 45 minute warning before bombing their oil tankers by dropping leaflets advising potential jihadists to flee before air strikes in Syria. “Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be ... MORE

Even The Mainstream Media Notices Obama's ISIS Failure
by Edward Morrissey. The emperor has no clothes. President Obama, like so many of us, was caught unprepared for ISIS's devastating attack on Paris. But unlike the rest of us, the leader of the free world was also caught unprepared a few days later, this time for the scrutiny of his record on the fight against the terrorist quasi-state. That 1-2 combo ... MORE

Jeannie DeAngelis: Syrian Refugees - 'Trust Not The horse'
UN says 72% of refugees are male. If one were to ask your everyday educationally challenged American what a Trojan horse is, the answer would probably include at least one reference to an equine-sized condom. Conversely, on the Syrian-Turkish border, where ISIS militants are more interested in world domination than they are safe sex, ... MORE

The Newest Obama Lie: We Can Vet The Syrian Refugees
by Ed Straker. Deploying the honor system with terrorists. Both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have called for the US to accept more Syrian refugees, as long as they are properly "vetted", of course. But what does it mean to "vet" a refugee? Normally, if someone wants to come into the United States, say, from France or Germany, our government ... MORE

WATCH: The Anti-Migrant Video Going Viral Across Europe
by Oliver Lane. A shocking look at today's reality. ‘With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European nations’, a slick, hard-hitting film about the European migrant crisis is going viral in Europe, already watched at least half a million times. Although the 19-minute film may feel like a dispatch from the future, it is cut entirely from ... MORE
Calls For Boots On The Ground, Curbing Immigration And More Surveillance Powers Coming In Wake Of Paris Attacks
by Peter Suderman. The politics of panic. CNN’s Jim Acosta captured the prevailing mood in the corridors of political power today when he asked President Obama about America’s willingness to step up attacks on ISIS following the terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday. “I think a lot of Americans have this frustration that they see that the United ...

A. Barton Hinkle: Crybaby Nation
Hysteria over hurt feelings and safe spaces. When did America get taken over by a bunch of crybabies? The question seems a little judgy, but look around. You can't swing a
dead cat without hitting people—from all parts of the political
spectrum, it's important to note—yelping about their hurt feelings. That's not hyperbole: A recent viral video ... MORE

Jacob Sullum: Rand Paul And 10 Heedless Hawks
A desperately needed alternative to mindless militarism. At a Q&A session in Dallas a year ago, Rand Paul expressed skepticism about whether the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) posed "a threat to our national security." Hours later at another event in Dallas, the Kentucky senator said that if he were president he "would lay out the ... MORE

50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked
Government lies about success against ISIS. It’s being called a ‘revolt’ by intelligence pros who are paid to give their honest assessment of the ISIS war—but are instead seeing their reports turned into happy talk. More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: The Past And Future Of The Refugee Crisis
No junior varsity solutions, please. The refugee crisis in Europe is one of those human tragedies for which there are no real solutions, despite how many shrill voices in the media may denounce those who fail to come up with a solution. Some options may be better than others, but there is nothing that can honestly be called a solution. Nevertheless ... MORE
