My article from the Sept. 20, 2013 issue FrontPage Magazine:  Revealed: The Obama FBI’s Illicit Partnership with CAIR By Matthew Vadum A government watchdog’s new report takes the FBI to task for violating its own policies by continuing to work with the Muslim Brotherhood’s front group in the United States, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).   The report came as CAIR issued a new report denouncing the so-called “Islamophobia” of the Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, David the Horowitz Freedom Center, and others who dare to engage in an honest discussion of Islam and the politics surrounding it. … Continue reading Revealed: The Obama FBI’s Illicit Partnership with CAIR

My article from the Sept. 16, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Obama’s Syria Spin By Matthew Vadum Even with the assistance of his media minions, President Obama is failing to articulate any kind of a rational defense of the administration’s nonsensical, on-again, off-again policy toward Syria. Yet somehow despite Obama’s bumbling on the domestic and world stages, Russia and the United States agreed Saturday to take custody of Syria’s stockpile of chemical weapons by the middle of next year. Syria is required to hand over an inventory of the illicit weapons within a week. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry … Continue reading Obama’s Syria Spin

My article from the Sept. 6, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Whither the Anti-War Left? By Matthew Vadum As America’s leftist president demands war against Syria, the anti-war Left is nowhere to be found. Democratic lawmakers who reflexively oppose any military action proposed by a Republican president are for the most part missing in action now that a Democrat occupies the Oval Office. Earlier this week the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10 to 7 to authorize the president to use U.S. forces to attack Syria. The resolution stipulates that military action is restricted to within Syria’s borders, forbids U.S. … Continue reading Whither the Anti-War Left?

My article from the Sept. 4, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Boehner’s Syria Surrender By Matthew Vadum House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) indicated yesterday he trusts President Obama to carry out military strikes against Syrian government targets as punishment for that government’s alleged use of poison gas against its own citizens. “The use of these weapons has to be responded to, and only the U.S. has the capability,” Boehner said after President Obama feted him at the White House. “I’m going to support the president’s call for action and I believe my colleagues should support this call for action.” Boehner’s decision … Continue reading Boehner’s Syria Surrender

My article from the Sept. 2, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Conservative Enemies of the State By Matthew Vadum Conservative organizations are “hate groups” and Tea Party supporters are potentially dangerous extremists, according to educational materials the Obama administration is using to indoctrinate members of the nation’s armed forces. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request made by good-government group Judicial Watch, the Pentagon recently released 133 pages of lesson plans and PowerPoint slides provided by the Air Force from a January 2013 Defense Department diversity training center “student guide” entitled “Extremism.” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton slammed the Department … Continue reading Conservative Enemies of the State

My article from the Aug. 29, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Mangling MLK’s Dream By Matthew Vadum President Obama hijacked a solemn national occasion yesterday, fomenting racial resentment and making crass appeals to envy on the 50th anniversary of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech. In his mercifully brief 29-minute oration on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Obama attacked Republicans without naming them. Obama and other Democratic politicians routinely beat up Republicans rhetorically. They claim Republicans want to prevent blacks and other minorities from voting, and accuse them of being fiscal tightwads who refuse to … Continue reading Mangling MLK’s Dream

My article from the Aug. 27, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Top 10 Racist African-Americans By Matthew Vadum Sadly, racism is very much alive in America — among influential black Americans. It was very much on display Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial where prominent black activists gathered a few days ahead of the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I have a dream” speech in order to advance their careers by pretending to care about the state of race relations in the nation today. Instead of simply using the opportunity to honor the work of his father in … Continue reading Top 10 Racist African-Americans

My article from the Aug. 20, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Hillary Clinton: Racial Demagogue By Matthew Vadum Hoping to keep Obama-generated racial animosity alive long enough to get her past the presidential finish line in 2016, Hillary Clinton has been bloviating about what racist election laws America supposedly has. “In 2013, so far, more than 80 bills restricting voting rights have been introduced in 31 states,” Clinton told fawning admirers at a meeting of the American Bar Association. Such laws are part of a Jim Crow-like effort to “disproportionately impact African-Americans, Latino and young voters,” she said. Hillary, of … Continue reading Hillary Clinton: Racial Demagogue

My article from the Aug. 16, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Reaping What Obama’s Sown in Egypt By Matthew Vadum President Obama continues to offer his blessings to the theocratic totalitarians of the Muslim Brotherhood as they spill blood on Egyptian streets in an effort to restore Mohamed Morsi to power. Our terrorist-supporting president has the gall to scold the military, the most stable, trusted institution in Egypt, while his Islamofascist allies burn scores of Coptic churches in the region where Christianity began more than six centuries before the birth of Mohammed. The military has been struggling mightily to shut … Continue reading Reaping What Obama’s Sown in Egypt

It’s beyond silly but that’s the American Left nowadays. Obama zombies are freaking out over a rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask at a show at the Missouri state fair. Here I am on Sun News Network (Canada) yesterday talking about this phony controversy: Continue reading VIDEO: Vadum on the stupid Obama-masked rodeo clown controversy

My article from the July 25, 2013 issue of FrontPage Magazine: Obama’s Bankrupt Economic Agenda By Matthew Vadum President Obama’s much-hyped speech about the economy yesterday was an impressive exercise in left-wing self-congratulation backed by examples of economic illiteracy and lies we’ve grown accustomed to hearing. The banal address delivered at Knox College, in Galesburg, Illinois, was 64 long, platitude-filled minutes of nothing. It was a speech the long-suffering American people have heard umpteen times before, endlessly promoted by the mainstream media as something novel and exciting. It underlined the pervasive, ominous atmosphere of unreality that permeates the Obama administration. As America … Continue reading Obama’s Bankrupt Economic Agenda
