Biden: White Supremacy is ‘the Most Lethal Threat to Our Homeland In Recent Years’
He can only hope that the jihadis decide to cooperate with his Big Lie.

Joe Biden, in a USA Today op-ed Tuesday that one of his handlers whipped up for him, claimed that “the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland in recent years has been domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy.” Old White Joe, or his ghostwriter, was in a pugnacious mood: “We cannot ignore it. We must confront the spread of hate-fueled violence in every form.”
You know what they say about the Big Lie: it gains acceptance through relentless repetition. That’s certainly what’s happening with the claim that “white supremacy” is the biggest terror threat the nation faces today.
A bit of reality: it wasn’t “white supremacists” who rioted all last summer in Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Wisconsin, New York, Atlanta, Washington, DC, and numerous other cities that I have already forgotten, and who are still at it in Portland, and casting a long shadow over the entire nation, with the strong hint that violence will ensue after any racial injustice, however exaggerated, misrepresented, or fabricated. The ones casting that long shadow are not “white supremacists” but Leftists: Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
When Biden talks about “white supremacy,” what he really means are ordinary citizens who oppose the dominant political philosophy – including me. Lies such as the ones Biden’s hack spread in USA Today are disseminated in service of solidifying the hegemony of that philosophy.
Whoever wrote this arrant and divisive agitprop for Biden is echoing a common line on the Left these days. Former New York City police commissioner Bill Bratton told Shepard Smith recently that “for the last 20 years our biggest concern was international terrorism — ISIS, Al Qaeda,” but “now it’s here and it’s us, and it’s the citizens of the United States, some of whom are rebelling against everything we thought we believed in for the last 300 to 400 years.” (Apparently Bratton subscribes to the 1619 Project, which dates America’s founding not from 1776, but from 1619, so as to add on 150 extra years of slavery and oppression.)
Former FBI director James Comey has also repeated this nonsense. Asked by a British broadcaster if he thought “far-right extremism in the US” was “a greater danger to the country than Islamist terrorism,” Comey answered in the affirmative, and added: “The threat has slowly risen as Donald Trump and those around him have withdrawn the control rods. America has always had a radioactive stew of racist conspiracy-minded misogynist people oriented towards violence. We’ve always had that in this country. But we’ve managed over generations to contain it inside a containment building as you would with a nuclear waste pile and put control rods down into it which we’re cultural. And that calmed the radiation. And over the last five years Donald Trump and those around him have pulled the rods out with signals and dog whistles and sometimes explicitly.”
A former Homeland Security Department counterterrorism official, Nate Snyder, likewise also affirmed that the biggest terror threat the nation faces today comes from “violent white supremacists, neo-Nazis, sovereign citizens, militia movements.”
Yeah, sure, Nate. We remember “white supremacists” rioting and burning down cities all over the country. We remember all those “white supremacist” terror attacks.
The real terrorists only get mentioned to claim that the “white supremacists” are even more dangerous. Last September, the far-Left hate site Raw Story took the opportunity of the 19th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 jihad terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people to advance the claim that nowadays, the foremost threat the nation faces is not from jihadis, but from – of course – “far-right white supremacists who love Trump.” It’s as predictable as it is absurd.
The Raw Story piece, written by Alex Henderson and picked up from the even loonier AlterNet, claimed that “although the 9/11 terrorist attacks underscored the dangerous fanaticism of far-right Islamist groups, countless Republicans and supporters of President Donald Trump have ignored or downplayed another terrorist threat from the far right — white supremacy and white nationalism — and that threat is alive and well in the Trump era.”
Henderson’s claim wasn’t original, either. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu), in a 2018 interview, fed the fires of the “white supremacist terror” hysteria when she asserted that “our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.” Omar also offered a ready solution: “Profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”
Sure. Because there are a lot of radicalized white men. They’re virtually all in Antifa, but who cares about the details?
As ubiquitous as this propaganda is, insistent repetitions of Big Lies doesn’t make them true – even when they’re repeated by Old Joe himself. The Leftist propaganda demonizing all opponents of the Left’s agenda as “white supremacists,” and painting those “white supremacists” as some massive threat, is especially insistent these days. And the propaganda is a prelude to action.

Exclusive — Tom Cotton: Illegal Aliens Committing ‘Murder’ and ‘Rape’ Because Joe Biden ‘Won’t Secure Border’
MANCHESTER New Hampshire — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warned in an interview with Breitbart News that illegal aliens are committing “murder” and “rape” because President Joe Biden “won’t enforce the law and secure our border.”
“We see stories time and time again of illegal aliens committing murder or rape or carjacking people who shouldn’t be in our country to begin with. But they’re here because the Biden administration won’t enforce the law on secure our border,” Cotton began during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News while in New Hampshire to raise money for the granite state Republican Party.
“I know we may be in New Hampshire here, but every town in New Hampshire is a border town, because so much of the drugs that you see in New Hampshire and across the country comes from our southern border,” Cotton said.
Cotton asserted the “lion share” of drugs fueling the opioid crisis come from China by way of the Mexican-American border.
“The evidence on that is clear,” he began. “China has super case laboratories where they make the precursors to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. They send them [drugs] to the cartels in Mexico which finished the job by pressing them into pills or cutting them into other drugs, and they ship them into America.”
“Our boarder patrol does a good job of trying to detect these drugs, which in some cases are literally shipped over in the quantity that they could kill every American. They’re so deadly. And just such a small amount is captured at our border, but that’s just what they catch, think about what they miss. That’s one reason why we just saw the terrible tragedy of the biggest number of drug overdoses in American history last year.”
Cotton also advocated for getting “control of our border” by “finish[ing] building the wall… to enforce our laws” while not “letting illegal immigrants” inside the United States.
“We also need to get control of our legal immigration system at a time when we still have millions of Americans still out at work,” Cotton continued, “We shouldn’t be increasing the number of legal immigrants we have to come here and compete against Americans for those jobs.”
Cotton also outlined a proposal to fix the legal immigration system, which would be based on a “simple mathematical formula that awards points based on your level of education, the field you have, your education, and your ability to speak English, whether or not you have distinctive contributions in your field,” Cotton explained, adding that Canada has implemented a similar plan.
Cotton denied that states protecting the border, a duty the Constitution outlines as a federal responsibility, is leading to a secession movement away from the union.
“No, I don’t, but I do think that when it comes to things like immigration, it’s much more helpful to have a federal approach,” Cotton directly answered. “But the federal approach has to be based on common sense about protecting our border and protecting our people from the illegal aliens and the crime and the drugs that come across our border.”
Cotton additionally commented on a recent court ruling from a federal judge in Texas that said former President Barack Obama violated federal statute when he unilaterally implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“I totally agree with the ruling; the judge is right,” Cotton said.
“The case is… about whether the President can rewrite laws that Congress has passed, and that’s what Barack Obama tried to do in 2012… The president cannot simply say he is not gonna enforce an entire category of our laws, so the case was rightly decided. There should be no more DACA permits issued period,” Cotton said. “And what Congress should do is address these problems in a targeted way, but what the Democrats won’t do, it’s just that they want to use the people who have received the docket benefits as leverage to get a massive amnesty.”
“Even when President Trump proposed a step that would give those recipients legal status in return for things like eliminating chain migration, finishing the wall, eliminating the diversity lottery, the Democrats said no, because they want a massive amnesty. That’s what they’re trying to do right now, and in their big budget blow out, they wanna slip in amnesty there, they’re gonna claim it’s just for a few very sympathetic DACA recipients.”
WATCH: 85 Migrants Illegally Cross Border into Arizona Desert
Surveillance video released by Yuma Sector Border Patrol officials revealed a group of 85 migrants illegally entering the U.S. late last week. The group included 35 children.
Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem tweeted video of 85 migrants illegally crossing the Mexican border into Arizona. The crossing took place near County 17th Street and the Salinity Canal on the morning of August 5.
Clem said the group of migrants consisted of 35 children and 50 adults. The nationalities of the migrants were not disclosed.
So far this fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2020, Yuma Sector agents apprehended nearly 60,000 migrants. This represents an increase of more than 800 percent over the same period in Fiscal Year 2020, according to the June Southwest Border Land Encounters report. The July numbers are expected to be released later this week.
The largest group of these migrants fell into the Family Unit Aliens category, according to the report. Agents apprehended 28,349 family units. This compares to only 2,579 the year before.
Agents also apprehended 27,779 single adults, the report states. This compares to only 3,463 in FY2020.
Unaccompanied minors accounted for an additional 3,757 migrants — up from 553 the year before.
By the end of June, the last numbers available, agents along all nine of the southwest border sectors apprehended a total of 1,076,242. Unofficial numbers recently reported by national media outlets predict more than 200,000 additional migrants were apprehended in July.
