Gaffney: Shariah-Compliant Twitter

Twitter seems to think 2016 is 1984. It has welcomed in the New Year with a change in the rules governing all of its accounts that is reminiscent of Orwellian thought-control.

In Facing Jihad, a ‘Politically Correct War’ Is a Losing War

In the aftermath of Islamic terrorist (e.g., jihadists) attacks in Paris, France and San Bernardino, California, U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump created a political and media firestorm by provocatively suggesting the U.S. is fighting a ‘politically correct’ war, and since jihadists ‘don’t care about their lives…so you have to take out their families.’
