Leaders of the Lynch Mob

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Leaders of the Lynch Mob By Matthew Vadum Leaders of the “Black Lives Matter” movement are obliquely endorsing killing cops and rioting as legitimate forms of political activism as the radical community organizers of the so-called Black Spring ramp up political violence and civil unrest. For example, on-the-record statements by Twitter stars DeRay Mckesson, 29 and Johnetta Elzie, 26, are all over the Internet. Mckesson (Twitter handle: @deray) and Elzie (Twitter handle: @Nettaaaaaaaa) are influential activists who have become legacy-media darlings by using social media to push their racial-grievance agenda. A very long, fawning profile of … Continue reading Leaders of the Lynch Mob

My new article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Black Spring: The ACLU Joins the Lynch Mob By Matthew Vadum Cooling down the churning cauldron of mob violence that Baltimore has become is not on the agenda of the ACLU which is now preparing to turn up the heat in cities across America. Following the suspicious death in police custody of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man with a long rap sheet, angry mobs and radical agitators have turned Maryland’s largest city into a Hobbesian jungle.

The Feminist Fantasy of Women in Combat

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: The Feminist Fantasy of Women in Combat By Matthew Vadum President Obama seems hellbent on forcing the women of the U.S. military into direct combat units at great potential risk both to themselves and their fellow soldiers. Obama supplicants in the military have been cowed by radical feminist ideology. They are promoting change for the sake of of ideology, not because it is actually needed. Two years ago the current Joint Chiefs Chairman General Martin Dempsey called for a “critical mass” or “significant cohort” of women to be placed in combat. Standards in excess … Continue reading The Feminist Fantasy of Women in Combat

Clinton Campaign Chaos

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Clinton Campaign Chaos By Matthew Vadum Democrat dowager Hillary Clinton has had a rough few days since she launched her inevitable presidential campaign Sunday with a vapid, vacuous, class warfare-oriented video on YouTube that pushed all the right politically correct buttons. Charles Krauthammer mocked [1] Mrs. Clinton and her ongoing tour of flyover country. She wants to get the big money out of politics, he said, but she is aiming to generate an unprecedented campaign war chest of $2.5 billion. “She has been taking in money ever since she took the silverware from the White House when … Continue reading Clinton Campaign Chaos

Taking Cuba Off State Sponsor of Terrorism List

My FrontPage magazine article today: Taking Cuba Off State Sponsor of Terrorism List By Matthew Vadum President Obama wielded his pen yesterday to begin the process of removing the longstanding U.S. designation of Communist Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, a move that pushes the U.S. closer to restoring full diplomatic ties with the brutal Caribbean dictatorship. Obama’s action comes as watchdog group Judicial Watch yesterday claimed [1] that America has a terrorist problem closer to home than Cuba which is 90 miles away from the U.S. coast in Florida. The group says the Muslim terrorists of Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS or … Continue reading Taking Cuba Off State Sponsor of Terrorism List

Clinton Campaign Kicks Off as Huma Abedin Probe Begins

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Clinton Campaign Kicks Off as Huma Abedin Probe Begins By Matthew Vadum At long last the Department of State is investigating why a top Hillary Clinton aide with generational ties to Islamic terrorism was allowed to work in a sensitive government position while simultaneously working for a Clinton-connected private sector consulting firm. Hillary Clinton and the senior aide, Huma Abedin, apparently conspired to keep the sweetheart working arrangement that the Muslim Brotherhood-linked employee had at Foggy Bottom a secret.

Obama’s Pro-Iranian Nukes Propaganda Barrage

My article from the April 9, 2015 issue of FrontPage magazine: Obama’s Pro-Iranian Nukes Propaganda Barrage By Matthew Vadum President Obama and his media minions are trying hard to sell the public on the administration’s egregiously awful nuclear arms deal that will empower an Islamofascist country whose leaders have never stopped chanting “death to America.” Under the preliminary so-called framework for an arms control agreement that Western powers reached last week with Iran’s murderous mullahs, the pariah nation reportedly accepted limits on its nuclear weapons program in exchange for the repeal of international sanctions that have hurt its economy. Negotiators have until … Continue reading Obama’s Pro-Iranian Nukes Propaganda Barrage

Hillary to Testify?

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Hillary to Testify? By Matthew Vadum Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will have to give evidence in federal court because she clearly knew her surreptitious private email scheme violated U.S. law, legal experts say. The bungler of Benghazi deliberately sought to do an end-run around the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) by establishing a private email server to handle her government email while serving at Foggy Bottom, they added. Clinton’s use of her own personal server for her official State Department electronic correspondence “has stopped the clock on accountability,” Joseph diGenova, former U.S. … Continue reading Hillary to Testify?

Revived Questions about Huma Abedin

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Revived Questions about Huma Abedin By Matthew Vadum Republican lawmakers are probing why Hillary Clinton’s longtime Islamist aide Huma Abedin was allowed to work at the State Department under a special, part-time status while simultaneously working at a politically-connected consulting firm.
