Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.

They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.

But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.

They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.

But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.

And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.

They buried this.
Now you know.

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

Right before Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) voted against Pete Hegseth (@SecWar) in 2025, she told me that Hegseth was a drunk and essentially a threat to women and children.

This is the same Elizabeth Warren who described Graham Platner (@grahamformaine) as “the fire we need.”

Platner announced he is taking time to “reflect on his campaign” after he was accused of sexual assault.

Elected Democrats are hypocrites and liars.

Hey Ro, Epstein wasn’t a billionaire and he’s dead (good riddance). How about talking how you want to confiscate the wealth of Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Michael Jordan, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Kim Kardassian? They’re part of the “billionaire class.” Funny how you never talk about them.

A woman glanced at my dog and said he looked “dangerous.” She even questioned why a German Shepherd like him should be allowed on a plane at all. Let me introduce you to Drake. The same dog she felt uneasy about spent six years working with Marine Special Operations. Drake is a highly trained Multi-Purpose Canine. While most people instinctively move away from danger, his role has always been to run directly toward it. Here’s what he’s done: He has tracked high-value targets during critical missions. He has located hidden explosives before they could harm anyone. He was shot twice while protecting the team he served with. That scar on his shoulder? It came from shrapnel during an IED blast in Helmand Province. Even while injured and bleeding, Drake kept going and identified four more explosive devices nearby, helping keep his team safe. And that slight limp you noticed? It’s from taking multiple rounds during an ambush while shielding his handler. Because of him, a young Marine made it home alive to his child. Drake has been awarded a Navy Commendation Medal and a Purple Heart. He’s also credited with helping save over forty lives. And here’s the part that truly matters — he has never bitten a single person. The only things he’s ever gone after were threats to the people he was trained to protect. So no, I won’t be moving my seat. But if you’d like, you’re more than welcome to thank him for his service. If Drake’s story changed the way you see him… Comment “Drake” below. I’d love to show you what Drake is like now — the calm, loyal side of him, and the way he still quietly watches over everyone around him. | Dogs Are Our World

Admiral James Lyons:

“I reject the term ‘radical Islam.’ Islam is Islam. There are no moderates, and we all know it!

Islam is a totalitarian ideology bent on world domination masquerading as a religion!”

He is 100% right.

A mother in Oregon is told she can no longer have access to her child patient portal

“I just got done taking my son to the doctor and they tried telling me at the front desk that I don't have access to his patient portal anymore because he just turned 13. Are you kidding me? He is under the age of 18. He is my child. I should have access to what his medical stuff is. That is insane to me”

This is real and because Democrats are trying to twine away parents rights from their own kids

Here’s what happens at age 13 in Oregon

Oregon Minor Consent Laws kick in, minors gain rights to confidential care in certain areas without parental knowledge or consent

- Age 14+: Can consent to outpatient mental health, drug and alcohol treatment
- Age 15+: Can consent to general medical, hospital, dental and surgical care
- Any age: Full confidentiality for reproductive health birth control, STI, HIV testing and treatment

Systems like MyChart and Epic often default to restricting or segmenting parental (“proxy”) access starting at age 13

Who needs enemies when you have Democrats. They are literally restricting you from knowing what your own kid is doing medically

AOC says "rivers were on fire" because of corporations like Deloitte "pouring chemicals" into waterways.

Deloitte is an accounting, consulting, and tax services firm.

No idea what she's talking about.

🚨 NOW: Rep. Bennie Thompson (D) is getting RIPPED nationwide for calling on everyone to AVOID opening a Trump Account for their children — which includes a free $1,000

Thompson represents a VERY poor district, per capita income in his seat is nearly $27,000 per year. Poverty rate OVER 20%.

Democrats are SO DERANGED they'd want disadvantaged Americans to pass up on $1,000+ in investments because of TRUMP.

Resign, @BennieGThompson!

Los musulmanes de toda Europa están conmocionados tras la histórica y valiente decisión de Suecia: dejará de usar el término «islamofobia», acuñado por los Hermanos Musulmanes, por considerarlo un concepto manipulado políticamente para silenciar las críticas al islam.

La ministra de Asuntos Exteriores sueca, Maria Malmer Stenergard, anunció que su gobierno presionará a la Unión Europea y a las Naciones Unidas para que dejen de usar este término fraudulento.

El concepto de «islamofobia» fue diseñado deliberadamente para equiparar la crítica legítima a la doctrina islámica con el racismo. Se utilizó como arma para silenciar el debate sobre textos islámicos fundamentales que contienen mandamientos para hacer la guerra, violar y someter a los no musulmanes.

Suecia acaba de reconocer lo que millones de europeos ya saben: criticar una religión que abiertamente llama al asesinato y la esclavitud sexual de los no creyentes no es una fobia, sino sentido común y autoconservación.

Esto supone un duro golpe para el lobby islamista en toda Europa.

¿Estás de acuerdo con la decisión de Suecia?

Before reporting on the transgender case, NBC actually gave an effective trigger warning that it would be quoting the court in the use of terms like "biological male" and "biological female." https://t.co/bN4NImmroF This is how the press becomes a parody of itself.
