Special to WorldTribune.com In the past year, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), the militant group now controlling provinces of Iraq and Syria has used Twitter as a platform on which to proselytise its ideology. “Praise be to Allah, who gave Twitter to the mujahideen so that they may share their joys and […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Michael Goodwin, New York Post If you think of the United States of America as a store, its recent decisions and scandals resemble a sale, perhaps a fire sale. Or maybe even a “Going Out of Business” sale. The list of dramatic markdowns is breathtaking. They include trading away five murderous terrorists […]
Special to WorldTribune.com Silencing and marginalization of conservative voices have become commonplace in the United States, as recently highlighted by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. . . . “This spring, it has been disturbing to see a number of college commencement speakers withdraw — or have their invitations rescinded — after protests from students […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen The latest mass-casualty shooting spree — this one in Santa Barbara, California — has touched off the usual debate about how to put a stop to these hideous spasms of murder.

The infamous 1995 “conspiracy commerce memo” tried […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Michelle Malkin I’ve always thought entrenched left-wing journalists in Washington needed their heads examined. Much to my satisfaction, it appears the corporate media bosses of at least one Beltway anchor now agree. According to The Washington Post this week, NBC News hired a “psychological consultant” to examine why flailing “Meet the […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Thomas Sowell Black journalist Chuck Stone was one of those people whose passing makes us think, “We shall not see his like again.” He was passionately interested in racial issues but he was never a race hustler.
