Islamic State

Biden will have to convince voters outside the Democrat establishment that his experience of voting against the Gulf War, voting in favor of the invasion of Iraq that’s led to over a decade of war, thousands dead, and billions spent, nearly twenty years of failed nation building in Afghanistan and not sending a SEAL team to kill Osama bin Laden is the kind of experience that they want in their next President.

With Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dead it is probably safe to leave others to mop-up the scattered remnants of ISIS and hold the territory once occupied by the Islamic State. So, let’s savor the victory, and praise our military, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that killing al-Baghdadi ends the war political Islam, and Iran in particular, have declared on the West.

The Center for the Study of Global Christianity estimates that between 2005 and 2015, 900,000 Christians were martyred. The goal of the SaveUs movement is to mobilize Americans to stand in the gap for the 215 million Christians worldwide experiencing brutal violence and abuse for their faith.

Washington’s overall objective should be to bring peace to America, not micro-manage other nations’ conflicts. Washington policymakers come up with long lists of objectives which are not worth the cost, in this case essentially permanent war. Withdrawal from Syria is long overdue.

President Trump is right, there is little value in staying in Syria if Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iraq are prepared to mop-up the scattered remnants of ISIS, but the President is wrong, and deeply so, if he thinks that killing a few thousand jihadis and retaking some desolate ground in the Middle East ends the war political Islam, and Iran in particular, have declared on the West.

The Trump administration appears to share the belief of prior administrations that it can transform the Middle East in America’s image. But Washington’s record in the Middle East is catastrophic. It is time to bring home America’s troops.

Despite working with the Kurds against ISIS, the administration has no stomach for a military game of chicken with Turkey. Which means the U.S. almost certainly would abandon the Kurds again if the Turks attack Manbij.

The latest terrorist attack in New York demonstrates the urgency of the need to rein-in immigration by Muslims hostile to constitutional liberty and the values of the Western Enlightenment enshrined in our Constitution. The toll-free number is 1-866-220-0044 call today.

If President Trump is serious about countering Iranian aggression and repairing the mess in the Middle East left by Obama and Bush, then steps must be taken across the region, otherwise Iran will assert political and economic dominance over the entire northern tier of the Middle East and become the Middle East’s Shi’ite superpower.

We are in a war Islam has declared on America and the West; the war is here at home, not in the Middle East and we are more optimistic about the prospects for victory now that it sounds like President Trump better understands the fight.

Turkey's Islamist President and wannabe Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan has destroyed the pretense that Turkey and America are allies. The Trump administration now must defend America’s interests and values from Turkey.

For sixteen years American leaders have failed to grasp the essential lesson of 9/11: Islam is a religion of peace only in the sense that the world will enjoy peace only after the Ummah encompasses the whole world, and all its peoples have the peace that living under Islam allegedly bestows.

In an exclusive feed from our friend James Simpson of Bombthrowers.com we share the details of H.R. McMaster’s reckless and arrogant decision-making that got approximately 250 allied and American troops killed in Iraq, and that his Deep State friends have suppressed to advance his career.

General McMaster and his team of yes men at the NSC apparently neglected to tell President Trump that the enemy in Afghanistan isn’t the Taliban insurgency; it is their underlying ideology of Islam and the allegiance of the majority of the Afghan people to a misogynistic 7th Century Sharia-based Muslim culture.

Finding moral equivalence between anti-Western Muslim dictatorships and Israel, which shares our Western value system, is not just a folly, it is a dangerous misunderstanding of the realities of the Middle East that confirms H.R. McMaster is unfit to serve as President Trump's National Security Advisor.

The strategy for Afghanistan H.R McMaster has proposed to President Trump isn’t a strategy for victory, it is a strategy to save face for generals and politicians.

If there was ever proof that the Deep State exists and protects its own it is the record and actions of H.R. McMaster, President Trump’s ill-conceived National Security Advisor.

The NSC isn’t H.R. McMaster's to mold to his views; it is President Trump’s National Security Council and it should have Trump’s people, not McMaster's people, staffing it.

U.S. forces have opened fire on Iranian-backed forces in Syria at least three times since May. Three of the incidents took place at al-Tanf, a remote desert outpost near the point where the Syrian, Iraqi and Jordanian borders meet.

Washington needs to restore a working relationship with Moscow on multiple issues. That doesn’t mean trusting Vladimir Putin. It does mean making policy in accord with the way the world is, not the way we wish it was.
