» Dubai Ports Deal: Security or Fear? from Gribbit's Word

» France mourns death of Ilan Halimi from Tel-Chai Nation
I hadn't time to post about this earlier, but I'd very much like to thank Michelle Malkin for taking the time to post about it. Halimi was murdered by a gang led by a black Muslim ganglord who may have come from the Ivory Coast after a blonde woman, ... [Read More]
