CPAC: Fighting for Israel

  ALEXANDRIA, Virginia Dalia Al-Aqidi (left, in a photo by my brother you can click to enlarge) is the Republican challenger to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

We have heard over and over […]

Terrorist in London Stabbing Attack Had Just Been Released From Prison

  Just another random coincidence: A man shot dead by police after he stabbed people in south London had been released from prison in January. Sudesh Amman, 20, was released about a week ago after serving half of his sentence of three years and four months for terror offences. He was under active police surveillance […]
