The American Conservative (TAC) has previously shown a tendency to downplay the jihad threat — as many paleocons do. I am no fan of Wilsonian interventionism and never have been, but TAC is veering toward active support of the Islamic supremacist agenda. Preposterous? Read on. “Pamela Geller’s Free-Speech Hypocrisy,” by Kelley Vlahos, The American Conservative, […]

Iraq is bracing for the Battle of Baghdad, but no worries: John Kerry says all is well. And incidentally, where were the Obama airstrikes during this massive victory parade? “Iraq braced for the Battle of Baghdad: Chilling images show ISIS victory parade after fanatics seize key city of Ramadi – just 60 miles from the […]

Bishop McAreavey is an exception to the rule. Most of his brother bishops would be scandalized that he even dared to speak of this. But of course he did not identify the perpetrator.

“We are urging broadcasters to avoid using the familiar B-roll that we’ve all seen before, file footage of ISIL convoys operating in broad daylight, moving in large formations with guns out, looking to wreak havoc. It’s inaccurate — that’s no longer how ISIL moves…” “A more accurate image, said Col. Steven Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, […]

Fantasy-based analysis. Recently I asked, “has Baghdad Bob become Secretary of Defense?” No, he has become Secretary of State. “Kerry: Don’t Worry About Fall of Ramadi, ‘Daesh Has Been Driven Back,’” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, May 18, 2015: Secretary of State John Kerry said today not to worry, we’ll probably get Ramadi back from […]
