Why am I not surprised that this Georgetown University professor's tweet about Iran calls for killing Americans. "Symbolic strike" on a base? Given your father-in-lawโ€™s history with terrorism, itโ€™s a curious stance. The apple doesnโ€™t fall far from the tree, does it?

Read our latest report on DHS funding of extremist groups and terror-linked organizations. Middle East Forum found $25 million went to groups with ties to Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Nation of Islam, and Islamist dictatorships like Turkey & Iran. shorturl.at/5gb60

Here is Seyed Mousavian of Princeton University referring to Israelโ€™s decision to halt the genocide of #Druze minorities in #Syria as a greedy land grab by #Israel. Israel, which could effectively wipe out Jolaniโ€™s 30K-strong militia army and park tanks in Damascus by next Monday,

Read the deets from the latest @MEForum detailing how Homeland Security is bankrolling extremist groups linked to terrorism. Mind-blowing levels of waste and abuse. Instead of fighting extremism, DHS under Joe Biden and Barack Obama is funding it.

This requires some context to understand how Cenk Uygurโ€™s accusations are basless. There are reportedly 60 Jewish pedophiles who escaped justice by fleeing to Israel. In comparison, French clergy alone are estimated to have abused 200,000 children since 1950. #Nothingburger

A big @MEForum win: Homeland Security is reviewing security grants for Muslim groups with "alleged terrorist ties" based on our report that >$25mn in USG grants went to "terror-linked groups" in 2013-23. DHS: "We take the results of the MEF report very seriously." foxnews.com/politics/dhs-pโ€ฆ

Thank you to Rep. August Pfluger from the House Homeland GOP Committee for speaking out against past abuses of Homeland Security grant programs. Middle East Forum, which published the study that resulted in DHS cuts to Islamist groups, looks forward to working with you on codifying these vetting reforms.

GraceLynn Netflix uses the lamest red herrings to distract from Jussie's seriously dumb story: two psychic racists knew he'd be out at 2 am during a polar vortex, so they lugged around bleach & a noose to meet him. It's just a 'coincidence' the brothers he paid were there. Come on. ๐Ÿ˜„

I just watched the Juicy Smollett doc on Netflix desperately try to create a controversy by claiming thereโ€™s no evidence this verified hoax didnโ€™t really happen. They trot out a British reporter (actually a paid producer on the show) to claim this is an image of a โ€œwhite guy.โ€
