Sarah Margon’s idea of human rights is cheering the destruction of Israel.

President Joe Biden addresses a joint session of Congress; Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum host. We all expected President Biden to speak about hate in America during his first address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night. He did not disappoint.

Postponing Election to Avoid Losing Sun Apr 18, 2021 And, it ought to go without saying, fine with anything the PLO does. As I noted again last week, Bidens "point man" on the issue boasted of being inspired by the intifada and hates Israel almost as much as Obama. “I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11 while working with an anti-Israel group. Politico described Amr as “the key U.S. official dealing with the I...

In early April, Iran celebrated its 15 th annual “National Nuclear Technology Day” and used the occasion to demonstrate new IR-9 centrifuges. These new centrifuges are 50 times more efficient enriching uranium than the previous model. This achievement is a thumb-in-the-eye to America proving Iran’s “peaceful nuclear program” is anything but…and that they will continue their deceptive march to become a nuclear power. Consider how the confluence of three developments forms a “perfe...
