According to the Ministry of the Interior in France, there are 20,000 African polygamous Muslim men living there. These Muslim immigrants know how to work the system.

Anyway, she told me about the “massacre” from a lefty’s perspective. And if my memory serves me right, she talked [...]
The Violence That Dares Not Speak Its Name

I was shocked. So there I am sitting on my bed. “Shelia” is on the phone with scratch marks across her tear-stained face, pleading for help, as her partner “Debbie” abuses her. It’s a familiar pattern: objects are thrown, Shelia is pushed around, and verbally assaulted. One day they’re holding hands and kissing at the [...]
