Earlier this week the House voted overwhelmingly (405-11) in favor of formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide, which was perpetrated by Ottoman Turks.

A Dead Caliph vs the Eternal Jihad
FrontPage Magazine Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (above), the head or “caliph” of the Islamic State, is finally dead.

“Nothing More than a Slut, a White Whore!”
