My article from the March 24, 2015 issue of FrontPage magazine: Matthew Vadum with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Awesome) The Left’s Ted Cruz Freakout By Matthew Vadum Much of the political world went into full freakout mode yesterday as crusading conservative Ted Cruz became the first candidate from either of the major parties to formally announce he is running for president in 2016. The ritual denunciations of Cruz, the junior Republican senator representing Texas, from all across the fruited plain quickly piled up. Since he assumed office in January 2013, Cruz has come under intense fire from the Left and from … Continue reading The Left’s Ted Cruz Freakout

My article from the March 23, 2015 issue of FrontPage magazine: Durbin’s ‘Racism’ Smear Infuriates Republicans By Matthew Vadum Republicans were angered last week when the Senate’s second highest ranking Democrat accused them of racism for delaying a confirmation vote for leftist radical Loretta Lynch’s nomination as U.S. attorney general. “Loretta Lynch, the first African-American woman nominated to be attorney general, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar,” said Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), in an unsubtle reference to the civil rights movement’s campaign to desegregate public transit. “That is unfair. … Continue reading Durbin’s ‘Racism’ Smear Infuriates Republicans

My article from today’s FrontPage magazine: Obama Urges Soviet-Style Voting Laws By Matthew Vadum Forcing Americans to vote under threat of legal penalty would help to fundamentally transform America, President Obama told a town hall-style meeting in Cleveland yesterday. It is the latest radical leveling scheme that flows from the president’s totalitarian impulses. It is also consistent with his support for “Net Neutrality,” which is a form of censorship and his opposition to the landmark Citizens United decision that affirmed a conservative activist group’s constitutionally guaranteed right to make a movie critical of Hillary Clinton. It is an assault on American democracy … Continue reading Obama Urges Soviet-Style Voting Laws

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Pamela Geller Wins Right to Run Ads in Philly By Matthew Vadum A federal court has struck a blow for the First Amendment by ordering Philadelphia’s public transit system to accept an eye-opening ad that spotlights Islamic Jew-hatred and urges the United States to cut off foreign aid to Muslim countries. The hard-hitting public service announcement, which contains a photograph of a real-life meeting between Adolf Hitler and Muslim leader and Nazi collaborator Hajj Amin al-Husseini, is sponsored by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), which was co-founded by conservative leader and blogger Pamela Geller. AFDI … Continue reading Pamela Geller Wins Right to Run Ads in Philly

My article from today’s FrontPage magazine: Hillary’s Damage Control Isn’t Working By Matthew Vadum Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s efforts to douse the growing furor over her possibly illegal private email system are not going well. The Obama White House, which claims the president knew nothing about Clinton’s surreptitious email system, unceremoniously threw the former cabinet member under the bus this week. “Frankly, the secretary’s handling of her own personal email and the maintenance of [her] personal email inbox is something that I’m not going to comment on and not particularly interested in,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. President … Continue reading Hillary’s Damage Control Isn’t Working

My article from the March 10, 2015 issue of FrontPage magazine: Hillary’s Missing Emails By Matthew Vadum Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email scandal widened as the lead Republican investigator into the deadly Benghazi fiasco accused Clinton of failing to hand over months of emails from her tenure. “There are gaps of months and months and months,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said Sunday on “Face the Nation” on CBS. “If you think [back] to that iconic picture of her on a C-17 flying to Libya — she has sunglasses on, and she has … Continue reading Hillary’s Missing Emails

The Christian Science Monitor highlighted a tweet I wrote about the recent “Saturday Night Live” skit that featured Dakota Johnson running off to join ISIS. Apparently some humorless people out there were offended by the bit. I tweeted: Why are people upset about the #SNL spoof about ISIS that featured Dakota Johnson? Were the ISIS scum not barbaric enough? — Matthew Vadum (@vadum) March 1, 2015 Continue reading Quoted by Christian Science Monitor

The popular Powerline blog hailed an article I wrote as one “of the most interesting and/or important pieces of analysis and commentary published in the past few weeks.” The FrontPage magazine article cited was about Rashad Hussain and was titled “Terror apologist named to federal anti-terror post.” Continue reading Noted by Powerline

My article from the March 5, 2015 issue of FrontPage magazine: Dems Spin Furiously for Hillary By Matthew Vadum Democrats are circling the wagons to shield their likely 2016 presidential nominee after it was revealed that Hillary Clinton transacted sensitive government business using her personal email during her time as America’s top diplomat. The Benghazi bungler, the nation has learned, set up an email system worthy of a James Bond movie villain when she became U.S. secretary of state in 2009. Mrs. Clinton used private instead of government email and even established her own private email server that has been … Continue reading Dems Spin Furiously for Hillary

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: The U.S.-Supported Terrorists of the Palestinian Authority By Matthew Vadum A federal jury in Manhattan found the Palestinian Authority and its terrorist arm civilly liable yesterday for six terrorist attacks a decade ago that left 33 dead and more than 450 injured. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expected the “international community to continue to punish those who support terrorism, just as the U.S. federal court has done, and to back the countries that are fighting terrorism.” “Today as well we remember the families that lost their loved ones; our heart is with them … Continue reading The U.S.-Supported Terrorists of the Palestinian Authority

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Sessions: Obama Dismantling the Immigration System By Matthew Vadum Conservative champion Sen. Jeff Sessions is accusing President Obama of “systematically” dismantling the nation’s immigration enforcement system — and he’s got proof. Obama’s attacks on America’s immigration laws are “undermining the very rule of law upon which our nation was founded and upon which its greatness depends,” said the Alabama Republican. Sessions has put together an exhaustive 50-page report in the form of a detailed timeline that catalogs Obama’s specific assaults on the U.S. immigration system since becoming president. Some conservatives say Obama is deliberately flooding the … Continue reading Sessions: Obama Dismantling the Immigration System

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Obama White House Partners with ISIS-Linked Group By Matthew Vadum A Boston-based hub of terrorism associated with a top Islamic State propagandist and producer of hostage-beheading videos will receive the red carpet treatment at an anti-terrorism conference at the Obama White House this Wednesday. The so-called Summit on Countering Violent Extremism comes as President Obama seeks formal authorization from Congress to wage war against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL). The terrorist-friendly Islamic Society of Boston (ISB), which is a known front for Islamist terrorist groups, operates mosques in and around Boston. Members of the … Continue reading Obama White House Partners with ISIS-Linked Group

My article in today’s FrontPage magazine: Killing Qaddafi: Hillary’s Secret Role By Matthew Vadum To justify an illegal ouster of Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi, Hillary Clinton falsely claimed the Libyan leader was planning genocidal attacks against his domestic enemies, an investigative report in the Washington Times suggests. Documents and audio recordings examined by the newspaper suggest the former U.S. secretary of state had no clear plan for how to deal with the Libyan crisis she created and whether the lawlessness and chaos she spawned in that country led to the deadly Muslim terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. Clinton … Continue reading Killing Qaddafi: Hillary’s Secret Role
