Modern Islam uses burqas, niqabs, and hijabs to control women. It wasn’t always this way, as a 1958 speech by Egyptian President Nasser shows. Throughout the Muslim world — and, increasingly, throughout Europe and America — women are “appearing in public” in hijabs (head scarfs), burqas (full body tents), and

My time today was dedicated almost entirely to Navy League matters. The San Francisco chapter has a great president who has two admirable goals: (1) to ensure that members are educated about and supportive of America’s maritime services; and (2) to try to make San Francisco every sailor’s and marine’s

No, I’m not talking about drug cartels or about Mexican citizens being slaughtered by guns sent over courtesy of a Democrat Department of Justice attempting to prove that guns hurt people. I’m
