Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Freedom Center President Michael Finch recognized for predicting Trump’s victory

Nov 15, 2016 10:32 am By Robert Spencer

My friend and colleague at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Michael Finch, was more insightful and aware of what was going in the country than legions of establishment pundits. That is of a piece with the Freedom Center being one of the few institutions that recognizes and speaks honestly about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. Kudos, Mike! I will raise my frosty mug of Keith’s in a toast to you!

“Freedom Center President Recognized for Predicting Trump’s Victory,” Truth Revolt, November 15, 2016:

Poet, writer, speaker and president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Michael Finch, was recognized by the Christian Post for being among a “small yet notable number of social commentators and analysts” who accurately predicted the presidential election outcome.

In “7 People Who Predicted a Donald Trump Victory,” a sampling that included liberal provocateur Michael Moore and conservative author Wayne Allen Root, the Post cited Finch’s article “Why Trump Will Win” from American Thinker. In that October 27 piece, Finch argued that “[t]he middle of the country, already restive and suspicious of anything and everything that has to do with Washington D.C., hears Trump railing against the corrupt system and how we need to ‘clean house.'”

As the Post reports,

Finch also viewed former supporters of Bernie Sanders as a possible additional source of support for Trump, stating that maybe “Bernie wasn’t up to the fight, but his millions were, and still are.”

“Will they vote for Trump? Probably only a few, but what it has done, in conjunction with the leaked DNC emails, has stoked an already visceral hatred of Hillary among the Bernie movement,” continued Finch.

Michael Finch is also a leading Godfather of FrontPage Mag editor Jamie Glazov’s show The Glazov Gang and the author of  Finding Home, a collection of poems about home, nature, love, places in America, and a view of the plight of Christians in the world today.

    First , as a firm Donald Trump supporter I acknowledge that the people who engage in peaceful anti-Trump gathering to have every constitutional right to gather together in peaceful assembly to make their views known to the public. Those peaceful people should not be arrested or scorned. Second and in contrast, those who engage in rioting and call themselves “protesters” are not really protesters but criminals and punks. They have proven this willing by their own violent and lawless actions. They have exposed themselves to be hooligans and thugs. Those hoodlums should be arrested and scorned. Shame on them. Those rioters are also deluded fools if they think that they will accomplish anything that is good by their violence and mayhem. That those rioters react and such violence by having violent temper tantrums are also showing their immature mentality. By their terrible actions they have also proven that they have a very low intelligence level. By the way they “handle” the subject of the national election results. Which they happen to so much dislike.

      I agree, Walter–just as the Tea Party did when Obama was elected. But as you note, all too many of these “protesters” now are actually rioters.

      I wholly agree, Walter. Great comment.

      The violent protesters’re known in the UK as ‘rentamobs’ with the same scruffy types showing up on every occasion!

        Ezra Levant reports the same phenomenon in Canada. He knows some of those “rent-a-mobbers” by their name, having interviewed them on different protests.

    Maybe those hooligans who call themselves anti-Trump “protesters” are actually people who are cognitively arrested in their mental development . Especially if they really feel that by engaging in violence and by creating mayhem they are accomplishing anything that is “good.” If this is the case with them then it’s “Ho, those poor people !” Moreover , their is another answer. Which is the those anti-Trump rioters are proving their behavior the old saying to be true. The old saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”

    I just pray that in three years the Canadian people will be as wise as the Americans and dump our PM. Unfortunately, a lot of damage can be done in three years and it has already begun.

    Hillary got her ass whooped in the swing states, in the heartland and the south. She was too busy trying to STEAL the election and popular vote in the Democrat strongholds where her supporters shamelessly vote twice in the same night and stuff the ballot boxes.

    When Donald Trump was campaigning for President had said that if elected President he was going to
    “Bomb the hell out of ISIS.” Let’s hope Trump keep that campaign promise. This is because that vicious and murderous jihad origination, ISIS, will not go away if left alone. For ISIS is like a cancer that if not dealt with is will grow and spread and then further terrible deadly harm. So to “Bomb the hell out of ISIS” or to put it another way to “Bomb ISIS to hell” is one god way to defeat and destroy the brutal and deadly jihad entity. For the malicious and murdering jihadist thugs who compose ISIS cannot be reasoned with. For the jihadist of ISIS will not respond to or understand the language of reason. The only language that the ISIS jihadists will understand is the language of being on the receiving end of many very strong powers of military might. Therefore, to defeat and destroy ISIS means that it’s necessary to hit them hard. Hit them long, keep on hitting them and don’t stop hitting them. Meaning take them down, put them down, keep them down and don’t let them rise up again. As Thomas Jefferson had ,so well, declared “With every barbarous people…force is law.”

    Culture shock
    After 8 long years of Islamic indoctrination from Obama’s extremist “Muslims can do no wrong” meme, even some liberals in America are finally waking up.

    They look side to side.
    Then they whisper, “Can we really speak the truth about Islam?”

    Roger Stone not on the list? But was it ever in doubt: Trump was filling large venues a couple of times a day, while Clinton couldn’t fill a school gymnasium once a week. This was America’s Brexit from the moment Trump refused to capitulate when the corporate, controlled media expected him to after his first ‘gaffe’ in the Primaries. Robert Spencer ought NOW to be mounting a campaign to get the ear of Mr Trump and return Jihad to the training manuals of the FBI and the other security agencies.

    Kudos to Mr. Finch and all those who predicted the election correctly. The pundits misssed many sings: Disaffected Brnie voters who did not roll over like Bernie. I believe that many of them voted for Trump,they also live in blue wall states. The blue wall states once had manufacturing. Trump said he could bring their jobs back, they voted for Trump.The African American community asked the question, what has Hillary done to earn our vote? Some stayed home. Latinos and Asians gave Trump 29% of their vote. The pundits missed all of this.

    Good for Mr. Finch. I thought a win was possible, but was still surprised by Trump being consistently ahead from early returns.
