Grand Mufti Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzan, the normally apolitical top Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia, issued a rare statement on Thursday urging Saudi troops to fight back against the Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen. “Protecting this great nation and punishing anyone who seeks to lay a hand on even an inch of its territory are among the greatest duties and most virtuous acts of devotion, for which lives and souls may be sacrificed in seeking God’s pleasure,” al-Fawzan said in a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA). “We ask God Almighty to grant you all his support, and…

Friday on MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said the Supreme Court that has been “corrupted.” Host Jonathan Capehart said, “You know, Congresswoman Dean, you heard what former Vice President Harris said this week in Detroit, that Republicans are cheating through redistricting, changing polling locations and purging voter rolls.  Today, the Supreme Court gave Donald Trump a win on plans to audit voter rolls.

This is an amazing indictment of our education system, but it also raises questions about our national discourse. For instance, virtually everyone has an opinion about politics, and many people these days seem to think that they are experts in the topic. How is that possible when a third of Americans lack basic civics knowledge? Campus Reform reports: 35% of Americans cannot name all three branches…
