My article from the May 25, 2015 issue of FrontPage magazine: Baltimore Cops Indicted in Freddie Gray Case By Matthew Vadum Six Baltimore police officers were indicted Friday in the death of Freddie Gray after prosecutors forced a local grand jury to move at what is considered lightning speed in the criminal justice system. Although there may indeed be police malfeasance in the death of Gray, news of the indictments that the grand jury considered at an unseemly pace is anticlimactic. It’s not like anyone expected grand jurors to toss the charges out in the anti-cop lynch mob environment that … Continue reading Baltimore Cops Indicted in Freddie Gray Case

My article from today’s FrontPage magazine: The Anti-Cartoon Jihad Comes To America By Matthew Vadum Two gunmen were killed by police Sunday night after they opened fire wounding a security officer at a Texas art competition featuring works depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad, a practice that is strictly forbidden in Islam. As of very early Monday morning, the identity of the two attackers was unclear, but it is hard to believe the assault was not carried out by Islamists.

ISIS or ISIL) are operating a training camp in Mexico … Continue reading The Anti-Cartoon Jihad Comes To America

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

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. Because it involves a Clinton, the story is, of necessity, complex and convoluted. And it’s … Continue reading Clinton Campaign Kicks Off as Huma Abedin Probe Begins

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?
