My latest in PJ Media: Revenge, the saying goes, is a dish best served cold, but John Bolton’s strike back at President Trump after being fired as National Security Adviser is the hottest thing in the news today. According to a report in The New York Times, Trump told Bolton “that he wanted to continue freezing […]
Bolton Out: Now What?
My latest at PJ Media: As of today, John Bolton is no longer President Trump’s national security adviser, but whether he jumped or was pushed is a matter of some controversy. Trump tweeted: “I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House.” Bolton, however, disputed the idea […]
Bolton out as Trump’s National Security Adviser
The Fox report below suggests that Bolton opposed withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Syria. But the Washington Post said several days ago that Bolton opposed the peace talks with the Taliban: Competing versions of what led to the cancellation of the meeting and, at least temporarily, any further U.S.-Taliban negotiations, exposed internal administration tensions that […]
Iran calls Bolton “chronic sadist” who deserves to be “taught a lesson”
President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton was described by an Iran foreign ministry spokesman on Wednesday as a “chronic sadist” with an anti-Iran grudge who deserves to be taught “a lesson.” Bahram Qassemi delivered his attack after Mr. Bolton said the U.S. will “squeeze” Iran “until the pips squeak” through the tough new […]
Trump’s new counterterrorism strategy singles out “radical Islamists”
Bolton says: “Radical Islamist terrorist groups represent the preeminent transnational terrorist threat to the United States, and to United States’ interests abroad. The fact is the radical Islamic threat that we face is a form of ideology. This should not be anything new to anybody. King Abdullah of Jordan has frequently described the terrorist threat […]
Fantasists outraged as Bolton states the fact that “Palestine” is “not a state”
In this video, Bolton speaks plain and obvious truths. That what he said is at all controversial is a manifestation of how far the establishment media and the establishment Left have strayed from reality. “John Bolton says Palestine ‘is not a state,’” by Steven Nelson, Washington Examiner, October 3, 2018: National security adviser John Bolton […]
Robert Spencer video: Why does Peter Beinart love Sharia and hate those who oppose it?
In this new video, I discuss Peter Beinart’s attacks on NSA chief of staff Fred Fleitz, and on other opponents of Sharia. Beinart shows no understanding of what Sharia really is.
Hamas-linked CAIR, SPLC, ADL launch smear campaign against Bolton’s new chief of staff
A sea change is coming to American foreign policy, and the adherents of the old, multiply failed policies of appeasement and willful ignorance that the Obama administration implemented energetically are desperate to retain power. Accordingly, they’ve launched yet another smear campaign against a Trump appointee who doesn’t represent the swamp point of view: the abundantly […]
Robert Spencer video: New York Times hits Pompeo and Bolton for opposing jihad terror
In this new video, I discuss a recent New York Times hit piece on Mike Pompeo and John Bolton for having ties to so-called “anti-Muslim” groups, that is, groups that oppose jihad terror.
6 Liberal Jewish groups slam Bolton for “anti-Muslim bigotry,” “bellicose ideology”
Six Jewish organizations have condemned the “appointment of Trump’s new national security adviser, arguing he will ‘endanger the national security of the US, Israel and our allies.’” These groups should be slamming Islamic supremacists and jihadists for bigotry, incitement to violence against Jews, and Charters that call for the obliteration of the State of Israel, […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Why It’s Good News That McMaster Is Out and Bolton Is In
A victory for realistic analysis over fantasy-based policymaking. My latest in PJ Media: The Left is in hysterics over John Bolton replacing H.R. McMaster as President Trump’s national security adviser: He will start a war with Iran! He once wrote a foreword for a book written by Pamela Geller and me! He is a right-wing […]
McMaster out, Bolton in
This was long overdue. McMaster held to the Obama view that Islamic jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, and that we mustn’t offend Muslims by noting the obvious fact that there are numerous Islamic texts and teachings that exhort Muslims to wage war against unbelievers. You cannot defeat an enemy that you don’t […]
