Unfortunately we have bad news… Constitutionalist/secularist Turkish army failed its coup attempt. Islam has triumphed again. It looks like there is no force on earth capable of stopping the spread of the green plague. Turkey is now 1979’s Iran!

Erdogan’s Turkey this week diversified its rogue-state conduct from terror sponsorship to international bribery. The proceeds?

But while EU politicians and bureaucrats throw billions of dollars to their Turkish “partner”,...
