This is a reminder that there are entrenched and unaccountable bureaucrats within the State Department and other U.S. agencies who do not have the best interests of the nation or its allies at heart. “Why did US report on Palestinian terrorism get the numbers wrong?,” by Ariel Kahana, Israel Hayom, July 7, 2020: Data published […]
Bomb-sniffing dogs US sent to Jordan are dying from poor treatment
CNN doesn’t even come close to explaining why this is happening. It’s because Islam hates dogs: “Narrated `Aisha: “The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, ‘Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).’ I said, ‘You have made […]
Trump sends State Department to Nigeria amid massacres of Christians by jihadists
Nigeria is about 50% Christian. Those Christians are being increasingly subjected to a ruthless persecution, not only by Boko Haram but also by so-called Fulani “herdsmen” who are also jihadists. Since human rights organizations and other global bodies do not adequately take up the cause of Christian and other religious minority persecution at the hands […]
State Department embraces Islamic cleric who OK’d killing Americans in Iraq, called for Israel’s destruction
Instead of draining the swamp, this is taking a firehose or two and creating more wetlands. “State Dept. Embraces Islamic Cleric Who OK’d Killing Americans in Iraq, Called for Israel’s Destruction,” by Patrick Poole, PJ Media, February 6, 2018: Last Thursday, Sam Brownback was sworn in as the State Department’s new ambassador for religious liberty.

State Department hiding report showing “Palestinian” “refugees” only number in tens of thousands, not millions
That this report has still not been released even as the Trump administration withholds millions from UNRWA testifies to the ongoing presence of Obama loyalists in the State Department, determined to sabotage the Trump policies. In any case, “Palestinian” “refugee” status is as much of a scam as the “Palestinian” nationality as a whole. It’s […]
US State Department puts $700,000 into Hungarian media, demands “programming” against Orban, patriots
The U.S. State Department has courted controversy by announcing it will plough $700,000 into Hungarian media, angering the country’s anti-globalist, conservative government This shocking report makes no sense given the commonalities between President Trump in “making America great again” and Victor Orban’s similar stance. Orban has proved to be a rare strong figure in standing […]
Break out the champagne: State Department officials quitting over “complete and utter disdain for our expertise”
We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them. Chief among these is the almost universally held idea that poverty causes terrorism. The United States has wasted uncounted (literally, because a great deal of it was in untraceable bags full […]
Trump State Department lawyers removing references to ISIS genocide against Christians, Yazidis
These are, of course, Obama holdovers, but they should have been cleared out by now. Fire Richard Visek (and Rex Tillerson) and drain the swamp, already. “State Department Lawyers Removing References to ISIS ‘Genocide’ Against Christians, Other Religious Minorities,” by Susan Crabtree, Washington Free Beacon, July 25, 2017: The State Department’s top lawyers are systematically […]
Robert Spencer video: Why the State Department Swamp Is In Dire Need of Draining
In this new video, I explain some of the key failed policies and analyses that the Trump administration State Department should jettison quickly and decisively.
Champagne time: it’s a “bloodbath” at the State Department
Break out the hats and hooters: the failed State Department establishment, which has applied and reapplied and reapplied again failed policies that have been shown to be based on false analysis time and time again (Poverty causes terrorism! Islam is a religion of peace!), is finally being cleaned out. May this swamp-draining long continue. “It’s […]
Dissent memo circulating in the State Department over Trump’s policy on refugees and immigrants
“A policy which closes our doors to over 200 legitimate travelers in the hopes of preventing a small number of travelers who intend to harm Americans from using the visa system to enter the United States will not achieve its aim of making our country safer.” Why not? What is the alternative? We saw what […]
State Department spokesman says US will continue to cooperate with Pakistan in war on terrorism
How long will it be before someone — anyone — in the Washington establishment wakes up and realizes that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is not really pursuing a “war on terrorism” at all? How long will the U.S. keep pouring billions into Pakistan hoping this will happen, only to see a great deal of […]
Iran accuses US of backing the Islamic State and the “Zionist Regime”
Jihadist propaganda brazenly ascends again. This time, it’s the rogue state of Iran accusing the US of backing the Islamic State and the “Zionist regime”, in retaliation for the State Department citing Iran as the world’s biggest state-sponsor of terrorism. Four years ago, Canada took a sensible lead: it listed Iran as a state sponsor […]
1 Christian: 236 of 237 Syrian refugees admitted to US since Paris jihad murders are Muslims

Author: State Department guilty of ignoring Muslim persecution of Christians
John L. Allen, author of the 2013 bestseller The Global War on Christians and Associate Editor of Crux Catholic journal, finds that in general, “religion is undervalued” throughout the State Department 2014 “Country Reports on Human Rights Practices,” which derives from the administration’s “demotion of religious liberty to a second-class right,” listed only as a sub-heading. The Obama-Kerry […]
State Dept hasn’t canceled passports of any US-based Islamic State jihadis
Why not? When they went to fight for the Islamic State, they were joining an entity that considers itself at war with the United States. That is treason, and they should be treated like traitors or enemy combatants. But that, of course, would require a sane administration and media establishment. “State Dept. Has Not Cancelled […]
