Now dashcam footage capturing a conversation between the two would-be jihad murderers has just emerged, and it further sets the record straight about one of the most wildly misreported events of our propaganda-laden age.]]>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:35:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Domestic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Islamic Jihad]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[New York]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/04/08/mamdanis-new-york-all-i-know-is-i-want-to-start-terror-bro-n4951593<![CDATA[As the increasingly unhinged former Fox host Tucker Carlson has become progressively more anti-Israel and pro-Islamic Republic of Iran, many people have expressed concern about his continued access to the White House and President Donald Trump; however, it looks as if those concerns can now be definitively laid to rest.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Tucker Carlson]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/04/07/tucker-carlson-you-wont-be-seeing-him-around-the-white-house-anymore-n4951542<![CDATA[On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump gave the surviving rulers of the Islamic Republic of Iran another ultimatum: “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J.

At one primary school in England, the administrator and teachers saw the writing on the wall and the direction in which Britain is heading, and took action accordingly: they instituted a program to teach their children how to pray as Muslims.]]>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:29:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Christianity]]><![CDATA[Education]]><![CDATA[England]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Parental Rights]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/26/at-one-christian-school-in-england-the-prayers-theyre-praying-are-not-exactly-christian-n4951109<![CDATA[One of the most revolting aspects of the terrible story of the murder of Sheridan Gorman was the reaction of Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who is, of course, a Democrat. Gorman was a freshman at Loyola University Chicago who was walking on the beach with her friends when an illegal migrant named Jose Medina-Medina approached her and shot her in the head. In response, Haddon did her best to shift the blame from Medina-Medina to Gorman, claiming that she “startled” him, as if that justified murder, and completely ignored the fact that Medina-Medina was an illegal migrant who should never have had a gun or been in the country in the first place.]]>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 18:20:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Chicago]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Fox News]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/26/dem-who-claimed-murdered-girl-startled-killer-wants-you-to-know-she-herself-is-the-real-victim-n4951107<![CDATA[What a mean, merciless place Salt Lake City must have been.]]>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:43:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Utah]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/24/salt-lake-citys-woke-mayor-praises-ramadan-as-if-it-has-brought-us-everything-that-is-good-n4951025<![CDATA[For Joe Iosbaker, it’s a return to the glory days.]]>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:56:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Chicago]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Islamic Jihad]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Palestinians]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/24/america-hating-us-leftists-are-rooting-hard-for-the-islamic-republic-of-iran-n4951024<![CDATA[The Iranian Islamic regime hates President Donald Trump with the intensity of a thousand suns. That’s obvious from its threats to kill him and attempts to do so, as well as from its ongoing bellicosity toward the nation that Iran’s bloodthirsty rulers call “the Great Satan.” And yet two regime officials recently deliberately appropriated several of Trump’s trademark phrases. It’s mockery, sure — but it also indicates something more than that.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 23 Mar 2026 17:33:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Trump Assassination Attempt]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/23/do-iranian-officials-secretly-love-donald-trump-n4950983<![CDATA[It's the Islamic holy month, when it's a terrible insult to Muslims who are praying and fasting to bomb a rogue state that threatens the U.S. and its allies, right? Ilhan Omar said that. Yet as Ramadan draws to a close this year, the jihad death toll worldwide is 499 infidels murdered in 133 jihad attacks. No adherents of any other religion, or even any “right-wing extremists,” committed any terror attacks during this period.]]>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:57:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Ilhan Omar]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Islamic Jihad]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/19/the-holy-month-of-ramadan-is-ending-and-heres-death-toll-n4950843<![CDATA[Why doesn’t failed MSNBC host Joy Reid leave the U.S., as so many haters of President Donald Trump and his America-First policies have vowed to do? On Monday, she expressed her paranoid, fantasy-driven, and hysterical hatred and contempt for the United States during the second Trump administration, and compared the U.S. unfavorably to the Islamic Republic of Iran. So why not move to Tehran, Joy? It’s likely that real estate there is quite inexpensive these days.]]>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 13:42:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Abortion]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Joy Reid]]><![CDATA[MSNBC]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/18/joy-reid-doesnt-much-like-the-us-but-she-has-immense-respect-for-one-far-off-country-n4950790<![CDATA[Catherine Connolly, the president of Ireland, turned her message for Saint Patrick’s Day into an extended advertisement for mass migration and the dilution and destruction of the Irish cultural and national identity.]]>Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:35:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Woke]]><![CDATA[Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/17/irelands-woke-president-turns-saint-patricks-day-into-an-ad-for-mass-migration-n4950751<![CDATA[Sunday, March 15 is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and the day couldn’t possibly have come at a better time. It looks as if it was planned this year specifically in order to demonstrate the fact that “Islamophobia” is a spurious propaganda concept designed to intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to stand against jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.]]>Sun, 15 Mar 2026 15:41:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Islamic Jihad]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]><![CDATA[United Nations]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/15/after-four-jihad-attacks-in-two-weeks-guess-what-its-the-international-day-to-combat-n4950673<![CDATA[Amid the spate of jihad attacks around the United States over the last couple of weeks, one of the perpetrators stands out for the rest, not because he was more ruthless or brutal than the others, but because he epitomizes the abject failure of our immigration and law enforcement systems to deal adequately with the specter of jihad violence.]]>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 18:57:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[DOJ]]><![CDATA[Domestic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/14/why-was-this-man-out-of-prison-why-was-this-man-in-the-united-states-n4950653<![CDATA[New York City’s far-left Gothamist has the sads, because when one member of the left’s conglomeration of haters, traitors, freaks, parasites and psychopaths suffers, the whole coalition of the weird suffers. This time, however, there is a silver lining: one of the bright stars of the contemporary left, New York Mayor Zohan Mamdani, is on the case.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[New York]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Zohran Mamdani]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/14/theres-an-islamophobia-outbreak-in-new-york-city-but-dont-worry-mamdani-is-on-the-case-n4950650<![CDATA[It seemed to be a simple, albeit particularly bloody, road rage incident. A man was stopped at a red light in Taylorsville, Utah, waiting for the light to change so that he could make a right turn. The driver behind him got impatient and started leaning on his horn. The driver in front still couldn’t move, however, as pedestrians were crossing the street in front of his car. And that’s when things got really ugly.]]>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 14:32:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[Domestic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Gun Violence]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Utah]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/14/a-taliban-shooting-in-utah-n4950647<![CDATA[The left has made its allegedly courageous stand against “racism” such a centerpiece of its noxious and unappealing socialist program for America that, where the real thing does not exist, it has to be invented. On Wednesday, MSNOW did its part by dismissing patriotic lawmakers’ concerns over the encroachment of Sharia and jihad activity as the latest examples of the perennial bogeyman. “On Monday morning,” wrote MSNOW’s far-left columnist (they don’t, of course, have any other kind) Michael A. Cohen, “Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., did something that has become practically routine among House Republicans: He launched a racist attack against millions of American Muslims.”]]>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 14:25:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[GOP]]><![CDATA[Hamas]]><![CDATA[House of Representatives]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/03/13/hard-left-msnow-would-prefer-national-suicide-to-accusations-of-racism-n4950621
