HOW AND WHY AMERICA SUPPORTS TERRORISTS LIKE ROBERT LEWIS DEAR

Let’s assume, if only for a moment, America is correct in its desire to avoid calling Robert Lewis Dear’s Denver Planned Parenthood shooting rampage last Friday an act of fundamentalist right-wing Christian terrorism. Even though I’m not aware of any atheist Pan-African left-wing separatists populating the threat matrix of people who want to destroy Colorado […]

LAQUAN MCDONALD’S DEATH SAYS CHICAGO IS RUN BY MANY ‘BAD APPLES’

Two themes have converged to make Laquan McDonald’s apparent murder by Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke a cloudy discussion — Laquan’s Black skin color and the public discussion points that relegated Van Dyke’s behavior to the act of one “bad apple” out of a crop of good cops.

ASSAD: SYRIA’S SEEN 1,800+ NIGHTS OF PARIS-LIKE TERROR

Peace be with the people of France this morning, as well as the other victims of terrorist violence around the world.
