Maddow: Mike Flynn Should Have Been Manhandled and Made to Disappear
In May 2010, a determined but hapless jihadist tried and failed to set off a bomb on a busy Saturday night in Times Square.

Unbelievable: NYT Celebrates Violent Antifa on Front of Style Page
Here's some radical chic with a violent twist: After apologizing for allegedly normalizing a Nazi sympathizer last week, the New York Times celebrated violent hard-left Antifa (the “anti-fascists” who actually delight in identify-hiding uniforms, violence, and other fascist tactics) on the front of the Styles section Thursday. Don’t expect a similar backlash from the paper’s leftist readership.
