Author: Freedom Watch
By Larry Klayman WND March 22, 2019 As a young international trade lawyer, years before I opened my own law firm and entered private practice — and later founded Judicial Watch, ran for the U.S. Senate and then founded Freedom Watch — I traveled on three occasions to South Africa. The reason: The boutique international trade law firm I had joined in 1981 as an associate attorney, after I left the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, had among its clients the South African steel industry. These firms were enmeshed in anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations filed…

That’s where the Council on American Islamic Relations’ Los Angeles chapter will be holding its fourth annual “Valley banquet” fundraiser hosting controversial Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. Omar has generated attention and condemnation with her series of anti-Semitic remarks in recent weeks.

Washington Examiner March 21, 2019 Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz argued Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has “no case at all” in his lawsuit against Twitter and some Twitter users who mocked him. “No, he has no case at all, and it is wrong from a political and ideological point of view,” Dershowitz said during an interview with Fox News on Wednesday. “If you don’t like what Twitter is doing, create an alternate company. If you don’t like what Facebook, you don’t like what any of the others are doing, the American way is competition.” “If you’re a…

By David Bauder The Washington Times March 20, 2019 The apparent suspension of Jeanine Pirro is squeezing Fox News Channel in two directions. A prominent Muslim-American civil rights organization is calling for advertisers to boycott Fox News, while another group is petitioning to have the weekend host reinstated. Pirro wasn’t on the air Saturday, a week after Fox publicly condemned her for comments questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s loyalty because she wears a Muslim head covering. Fox hasn’t explained the former New York-area district attorney’s absence, declining to comment on “internal scheduling matters.” Continue Reading…..
