Newt Gingrich: Electing 'Dishonest' Hillary Could Destroy The Nation

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Cleveland, OHIO– Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich delivered a rather intense address to the Republican National Convention, hitting Clinton and the Obama administration for refusing to face the facts about the threats we face from radical Islamic terrorism. He went on to say that Hillary Clinton is just “incapable” of telling the truth about this threat. Secretary of State John Kerry even said that ISIS is attacking because they’re on the run.

Well, Gingrich listed off the various attacks over the past few weeks that shows ISIS and the radical Islamists aren’t on the run. He talked about the attacks in Germany, where an Afghan teen, who had an ISIS flag at his residence, attacked people on a train this week. Then, there was the attack in Nice, France that killed 84 people, the 300 dead after bombings in Baghdad, the 20 hostages who were killed in Bangladesh, the ISIS-led attack at Ataturk Airport in Turkey, the stabbing of a French policeman in France, and Omar Mateen gunning down 49 people in Orlando Florida. Mateen had pledged allegiance to ISIS during the attack. That’s just the last 37 days.

“One recent analysis estimated that since January of 2015, some 30,000 people have been killed at the hands of terrorists,” Gingrich said. “We are at war with radical Islamists, we are losing the war, and we must change course to win the war.”

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Not Just the Saudis: Iran’s Huge Role in 9/11 Also Covered Up

By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

Over at PJ Media, I explain how Iran, rewarded with a nuke deal and U.S. cash, paid no price for helping plan 9/11. The 28-page section of the 9/11 report detailing Saudi involvement in the terror attack has finally been released (although with substantial portions still redacted). We now know why one president who held […]

Left media ENRAGED at pro-gay rights RNC event featuring Pamela Geller

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs
 

The left was out in full force at our Trump LGBT event at the RNC. Hoping to cast the event in an ugly light in order to cover for their unforgivable defense of jihad and sharia (codified Islamic law that mandates that gays be hanged from cranes and thrown off buildings). Leftists did not disappoint in their vicious, disgusting smear of a breakthrough event.

My favorite was James Kirchik of the Daily Beast, who insisted he was fair and open-minded. The title of his piece?

Racists, Idiots Sociopaths Get Down at the RNC’s Big Gay Party

“You gotta love Trump!” the shrieking harridan shouted, “because he gives them all the middle finger!”

That is considered fair and objective on the left.

There enemedia was obsessed with my...

Remembering Apollo 11

On July 20, 1969...47 years ago today...one brief moment in time and the history of mankind was changed forever. "That's one small step for a man...one giant leap for mankind"...American exceptionalism at it's very best.

Obama Is Too Incompetent To Pull Off A Coup

Kurt Schlichter / Townhall Columnist

Turkey’s failed coup, combined with the disastrous disunity and polarization in the United States thanks to Barack Obama, have gotten people talking about whether it could happen here. For example, part-time law professor and full-time Instapundit Glenn Reynold has recently taken some serious looks at the issue of coups within the context of the American system of checks and balances. So what if next January Obama and his barely post-puberty band of juice box screw-ups in the West Wing decide they don’t want to leave? And the issue is even more pressing with Donald Trump sneaking up in the polls – Nate Silver gives him a 34% chance of winning, which is up from the approximately 0% chance a whole bunch of people gave him a year ago, your author included. If a couple more disgruntled cop haters with totally obvious unknown motives and a few more [OMITTED] radicals go on kill sprees, Trump might well be our next president.

So, could Barack Obama pull off a coup to keep himself in power rather than turn over the keys to the Oval Office?

A Pivot To The Center

Paul Greenberg / Townhall Columnist

Every time a voter contemplates the prospect of another President Clinton, it may be enough to make the prospect of a President Trump palatable. And vice versa.

Swirling between the Scylla and Charybdis of this weird presidential race, the poor voter may find himself caught up in a whirlpool of second, third and fourth thoughts, with still more to come before November. It's not just presidential politics this year that may be spinning wildly, but his head.

At least The Donald picked a running mate to give the GOP ticket some balance. Instead of an attack dog, he's chosen a solid, conventional conservative in Gov. Mike Pence of solid, conservative Indiana. Call it a kangaroo ticket: stronger in the hind legs. The Donald's choice of a prospective veep may be the only responsible decision he's made as a presidential candidate to date.

True to bad form, the Clinton camp immediately denounced Donald Trump's choice of a moderate, centrist candidate for veep as "the most extreme pick in a generation." Why? For any number of reasons. Gov. Pence, it seems, had moved to defund Planned Parenthood starting in 2007. The governor also has done his best to discourage abortions on his watch. And he moved to protect the rights of those citizens who have conscientious objections to celebrating marriages other than those between one man and one woman. Tell us more, since all those sound less like reasons to denounce Gov. Pence than to applaud him.

As the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) distributes its “Islamophobin” gum at the Republican National Convention, I expose the dishonesty and propagandistic manipulativeness of the entire “Islamophobin” campaign.
