ISIS Threat in Northern Virginia
Afghan refugees?
26 commentsPolice Chief Kevin Davis of Fairfax County, Virginia, announced Friday that “we have increased our police presence throughout the county to include major thoroughfares, transit hubs, shopping plazas, and shopping malls.” This was reportedly in response to a terrorism threat; police sources said that their increased presence would last through Halloween weekend and possibly through election day on Tuesday.
ISIS, said CBS News, “has been more active since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August. Officials say threats from the international terrorist group and al Qaeda are accelerating.” And according to the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence chief, John Cohen, “Right now we’re seeing a dramatic increase — or an increase — in online activity by media operations associated with different al Qaeda elements and Islamic State.”
Meanwhile, Jack Posobiec of Human Events tweeted late Friday evening: “Two US officials tell @HumanEvents that the ISIS threat alert in Northern VA / DC region is related to Afghan refugees.” He added that some Secret Service agents “are concerned DC-area ISIS threat may be related to a report of 3 Afghan refugees who forced their way off a bus earlier this month.”
There is nothing incredible about this. Defense One reported in late August that “security screeners at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar have detected that at least one of the Afghans who was evacuated from Kabul Airport has potential ties to ISIS, a U.S. official confirmed to Defense One.” How likely is it that he was the only one?
Business Insider reported on August 15 that “thousands of inmates, including former Islamic State and al-Qaeda fighters, were released from a prison on the outskirts of Kabul… Footage published by an independent Afghan news agency, which supports the Taliban, appears to show militants letting the inmates out.” What possible safeguards have been in place in Kabul to prevent some of those jihadis from coming to the United States as “refugees”? How likely is it that the strongest, most violent, and most ruthless among the Afghans were able to muscle their way onto the planes to America?
What’s more, witless and woke Biden administration authorities have no idea who many of these refugees are. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) recently disclosed that 12,000 of the Afghans who are at this moment in the United States were brought here despite the fact that they had no identification at all: “They came with nothing. No Afghan I.D., no I.D. of any sort. Those people were all forwarded on to the U.S., and that’s quite an admission. So many people had no I.D. whatsoever and yet find themselves in the United States today based on what they said.”
Who could they be? Well, they could be any number of things, and one of them is that at least some of them could be members of ISIS.
Nor do authorities know where many of these refugees are. Reuters reported at the beginning of this month that at least 700 Afghan evacuees engaged in “independent departures” from the U.S. military bases where they were being housed. Over 300 have vanished from Fort Bliss alone. Are some of them in Northern Virginia now, plotting a jihad massacre?
Whether they are or not now, it is likely that some Afghan jihadis did enter the United States with the refugees and that we will be hearing from them sooner or later. One of Biden’s handlers has admitted that ten of the Afghan evacuees have already been detained as risks to national security. How many more have managed to navigate through the Biden administration’s shoddy vetting processes (this is a regime that doesn’t even acknowledge that Islamic jihad terrorism exists, much less knows how to spot warning signs of jihadist sympathies) and are now in the United States? We will find out sooner or later, and if not in Northern Virginia over the Halloween weekend, then sometime soon, somewhere in the United States.
Even worse: The Biden administration’s handling of the Afghan evacuees is just one of the ways in which it is proceeding with absolutely no concern for national security or for the safety and well-being of the American people. The consequences will eventually be catastrophic, not for the cosseted elites who have brought this upon us, but for the ordinary Americans who, as always, have to bear the burden of their America-last policies.

How Islam Mutilates Christ
To say nothing of Abraham, Moses, Mary, and, most recently, St. George.
7 commentsRaymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Not only does Islam claim Abraham, Moses, and Jesus; it apparently claims post biblical figures, such as Saint George, as well. So states a recent article on My London, the real point of which is apparently to assert Christian and Muslim “commonalities.” Thus, we learn that “on St George’s Day, which in Eastern Christianity is marked on May 6, Muslims in the area [of Nazareth] join Christians in their venerations of the saint.”
Judaism also finds its way into this article on religious syncretism: “According to some Sufi traditions, the [Hebrew] Prophet Elias, Al-Khidr [a character in the Koran], and Saint George are all the same person. They believe Elias reappears at different times in human history under different names to help stricken believers in times of crisis.”
The entire article is a testimony to the widely entrenched conviction that, because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share many of the same characters, creating rapprochement between the three faiths is not just easy; it’s the most natural thing to do.
Left out of this calculus is the all-important fact that Islam does not treat biblical characters the way Christianity does. Christians accept the Hebrew Bible, or “Old Testament,” as it is. They do not add, take away, or distort the accounts of the patriarchs that Jews also rely on.
Conversely, while also relying on the figures of the Old and New Testaments—for the weight of antiquity and authority attached to their names—Islam completely recasts them in a manner that validates itself and invalidates Judaism and Christianity. This would seem to burn rather than build bridges.
Consider, for example, Islam’s treatment of Jesus (‘Isa in the Koran). Not only does Islam vehemently deny Christ’s sonship to God, a new book on Islamic sources inadvertently underscores the fact that ‘Isa is the antithesis of Jesus—his doppelganger.
Although Muslim Sources of the Crusader Period by professors James E. Lindsay and Suleiman Mourad is full of important historical documents from that era, including first time translations, the writings of Ibn ‘Asakir (1105-1175)—an influential Islamic scholar who also authored the popular Forty Hadiths for Inciting Jihad—on Jesus, based on established hadiths, are germane to our topic. From beginning to end, Ibn ‘Asakir, like all other Muslim scholars before and after him, uses Jesus to validate Islam and invalidate the actual faith founded by Christ.
According to these Muslim accounts, Jesus will indeed return—Christian “bridge-builders” to Islam can be happy about that—but only to “break the crosses, slaughter the pigs, end the jizya tax on non-Muslims, making warfare against the People of the Book (e.g. Jews ,Christians, Zorastrians etc.) and others licit…” (p. 158) In short, Islam’s Jesus seems to be a jihadist on a par with ISIS.
Here are a few selections from Ibn ‘Asakir’s “biography” of Jesus/‘Isa (from Muslim Sources of the Crusader Period):
He quotes Muhammad asserting that whoever is willing to make him, Muhammad, Christ’s equal, as well as contradict the oldest Christian Creed (1 Cor. 15: 3-7), will go to heaven:
Whoever testifies that there is no god but God, alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and that Jesus is His servant and messenger, the son of His servant, His word which he gave to Mary, and a spirit from Him, Allah will admit him to paradise for saying that (p.159).
When a woman says to Jesus, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breast that suckled you,” a shocked Jesus replies: “No, but blessed is he who reads the Qur’an and follows what is in it” (p.159).
In several of these hadiths, Muhammad appears intent on making himself Jesus’s equal. Thus when his child-bride, Aisha, asks the prophet: “If I outlive you, would you permit me to be buried beside you?” “No,” responds Muhammad: “in that place there is only room for my grave, for Abu Bakr’s grave [Muhammad’s companion and successor, or first caliph], for ‘Umar’s grave [Muhammad’s companion and second caliph], and for the grave of Jesus son of Mary” (p.160).
In another account, Muhammad says, “The biblical prophets are siblings of the same lineage. I and Jesus too are siblings because he prophesied me and there are no prophets between me and him (p.161).”
In yet another account, Ibn ‘Asakir presents Jesus as “praying behind” yet another caliph (Muawiya I): then, “after Jesus finishes his prayer, he will take his lance, go toward the Antichrist and kill him. Then Jesus will die and the Muslims will wash him and bury him” (p.161).
Such is the transformation—or mutilation—that Jesus has undergone in the Muslim tradition. And Christians are supposed to see this as a possible “bridge” to Islam, a source of “commonalities”?
It’s the same, incidentally, with other biblical characters. Consider Abraham (Ibrahim), whom this entire “Abrahamic” movement is named after. While Jews and Christians focus on different aspects of Abraham—the former see him as their patriarch in the flesh, the latter as their patriarch in faith or in spirit (e.g., Gal 3:6)—they both rely on the same verbatim account of Abraham found in Genesis.
The Muslim account, however, introduces and exemplifies the hate Muslims are obligated to have for non-Muslims: “You have a good example in Abraham and those who followed him,” Allah informs Muslims in Koran 60:4; “for they said to their people, ‘We disown you and the idols that you worship besides Allah. We renounce you: enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah alone.’”
In fact, this verse is the cornerstone verse that all “radical” Muslims, especially of the Islamic State, cite as proof that Muslims must hate all non-Muslims. In other words, far from serving as a bridge between Islam and Judaism and Christianity, the Muslim Abraham teaches Muslims to hate Jews and Christians.
One can go on and on: according to Islamic traditions, Mary, the mother of Christ, is Muhammad’s “wife” in heaven—yet another characterization that would seem to sever hardly build “bridges,” especially for Catholics.
Surely it’s a curious thing: when certain people—namely, whites—“appropriate,” say, the superficial dress or costume of another people, woe, all is woe. But when Islam appropriates and completely perverts the central figures of two faiths, Judaism and Christianity, Jews and Christians are supposed to feel good about it, see it as an opportunity for “reconciliation” with Islam. Interesting how that works.
To be clear, the Muslim appropriation and subsequent mutilation of biblical figures is a source of problems, not solutions. It is only the secular mindset, which cannot rise beyond the surface fact that three religions claim the same figures—and so they must all eventually “get along”—that does not and never will get it. The Saint George article on My London—which spends an inordinate amount of time cracking jokes about drinking in pubs—is a perfect example.

When The Taliban Shot Up a Wedding
Were they following or violating Islam?
Taliban terrorists have killed two people and injured at least 10 people in the Sra-road in Nangarhar district of Afghanistan, as they opened fire at a wedding on Saturday. A preliminary Jihad Watch report is here, and more on the story is here: “Afghanistan: 2 Killed, 10 Injured As Taliban Opens Fire To Stop Music Played At Wedding,” by Aakansha Tandon, Republic World, October 30, 2021:
As reported by ANI, citing local media, an argument between Taliban members and wedding participants occurred after which the Talibani outfit resorted to violence, injuring innocent people. Reportedly, the argument had broken out when the Taliban forces stormed into the wedding and demanded that the music playing at the party should be stopped.
When people resisted the Taliban and tried to convince them [that wedding music was not halal] the terror force resorted to firing upon a mere incident [sic for “pretext”] of argument with the guests in the wedding party, reported ANI citing the local news sources.
Reacting to the same, former Afghanistan Vice-President Amrullah Saleh, who declared himself as the Acting President of Afghanistan after former president Ashraf Ghani surrendered to the Taliban and fled the country, condemned the violence against Afghan nationals by the Taliban. Saleh added that condemning the killing of the people cannot be the only medium to express rage against such violence induced by the Talibani regime, and urged people to stand up against the Taliban.
He further expressed his rage against the ‘Pakistan sponsored Talibani outfit’ and said that they have been receiving training in Pakistan for the last 25 years to destroy the Afghan culture and to perpetuate the ideology of ISI to control Afghanistan.
In the tweet, Saleh wrote on Saturday, “Taliban militiamen have massacred 13 [sic] persons to silence music in a wedding party in Nangarhar. We can’t express our rage only by condemnation. For 25 years Pak trained them to kill Afghan culture & replace it with ISI tailored fanaticism to control our soil. It is now in the works.”
Vice-President Amrullah Saleh wants to blame Pakistan for teaching the Taliban an extremist version of Islam, one which Saleh wants us to believe is illegitimate. Amrullah Saleh cannot allow himself to recognize that the Taliban shooters were not violating Islam, not practicing an “extremist” variant of the true faith, but were only being good Muslims when they tried to stop the wedding music. They were following the commands of Muhammad; in a famous hadith, Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that the Prophet said that “Indeed, Allah has forbidden alcohol, gambling, drum and guitar….” “Drum and guitar” have traditionally been taken to signify all musical instruments. And in another hadith, found in the most authoritative collection, that of Bukhari, Muhammad is quoted as saying that in the future, “there will appear people who will hold adultery, silk (clothes for men), alcohol, and musical instruments to be lawful” — a list of things that are clearly all forbidden as haram. This hadith shows that traditional Islam continues to hold musical instruments just as impermissible as alcohol, or adultery. Traditionally it has been a common practice of pious Muslims who “enjoined what was good and forbade what was bad” (Qur’an 3:110), in accordance with Islamic law, to destroy musical instruments. It did not start with the Taliban, or with the Pakistani teachers of the Taliban. The popular Salafi fatwa website Islam Question and Answer states “the majority of scholars say that [music] is haraam (forbidden), including the four imams of fiqh,” i.e. the founders of the four Sunni schools of fiqh: Abu Hanifa an-Nu‘man, Malik ibn Anas, Al-Shafi‘i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. In his survey of Islamic scholarship about “enjoining what was good and forbidding what was bad” in accordance with Islamic law, historian Michael Cook found that “attacks on offending objects are a ubiquitous theme … There are, for example, chess-boards to be overturned, supposedly sacred trees to be cut down and decorative images to destroy or deface … But the targets that are mentioned again and again are liquor and musical instruments.”
It is not only in the hadith, but also in the Qur’an itself that many Muslims, including those of the Salafi, Wahabi, and Deobandi schools, find a prohibition on music. The Quran does not specifically refer to music itself. Yet some scholars (Ibn ‘Abbaas, Al-Hasan al-Basri, Al-Sa’di, Ibn al-Qayyim, Abu’l-Sahbaa’) have interpreted this passage as referring to music: “And among mankind is he who buys amusing discourse, so that he may mislead people from Allah’s way without knowledge, and makes it the butt of mockery. For such people there is a shameful doom.” (31:6) They say “amusing discourse” includes music. Other scholars propose as evidence that music is forbidden the Qur’anic passage in which Allah says to Iblis: “And startle with your voice any of them whom you can, and urge your horse and foot against them, and be a partner in their wealth and children, and promise them. Satan promises them only in order to deceive.” (17:64)
When the Taliban shot up a wedding where music was being played they were only being good Muslims. They have the authentic hadith of Bukhari, and the rulings of the founders of the of the four Sunni schools of fiqh, to support their belief that music, and musical instruments, are haram. They have passages in the Qur’an that have been interpreted as banning music. Vice President Amrullah Saleh doesn’t want to admit this. He prefers to blame the Pakistani ISI for turning the Taliban into “extremists” following a false version of Islam. But we who are not Muslims don’t need to misrepresent it, as Amrullah Saleh does. We can afford to state — as we do right here — the unhappy truth.
Republicans Press Biden To Abandon Nuclear Talks After Iran Strikes US Military Outpost
Coalition of GOP leaders say Biden admin's singular focus on nuke deal endangers American troops
Adam Kredo • November 5, 2021 10:40 amRepublicans in Congress are renewing pressure on the Biden administration to abandon its diplomacy with Iran following Tehran's recent drone strike on a U.S. military outpost in Syria, according to a letter sent Thursday to the White House.
Seventeen Republican members of Congress, led by Rep. Bryan Steil (Wis.), accused the Biden administration of ignoring Iran's increasingly aggressive attacks on the United States and its allies in the Middle East to secure a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear accord. As negotiations between Iran and U.S. diplomats stall amid Tehran's demands for full-scale relief from economic sanctions, the Islamic Republic has stepped up its regional terrorist enterprise.
"During a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, it sends a dangerous message to our friends and adversaries that we continue to lift sanctions and negotiate with the largest state sponsor of terrorism as they attack us," the lawmakers wrote in the letter, which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. "This attack is yet another reminder that your administration is setting the wrong priorities by working to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal. If Iran is willing to engage in this kind of behavior while negotiations are still ongoing, imagine the respect they will have for any agreement once the ink is dry."
U.S. military officials say Iran was behind a "complex, coordinated and deliberate attack" late last month on an American military outpost in Syria, where U.S. troops are stationed. Several drones carrying explosives struck the military site, though no casualties were reported. Iran has been behind a string of drone strikes on American, Israeli, and other allied positions in the region.
The Biden administration did not publicly respond to the strike or announce any operations aimed at countering Iranian aggression. The administration's decision to avoid agitating Iran in the wake of the strike has prompted accusations that the United States is looking the other way as it scrambles to ink a nuclear deal with Tehran. As Biden's diplomats promise to waive crippling economic sanctions on the country—including those that target Iran's support for terrorist proxy groups—Republicans are increasingly concerned the Islamic Republic will become more emboldened.
In addition to Steil, the letter was signed by Republican representatives Dan Crenshaw (Texas), Randy Weber (Texas), Brian Babin (Texas), Doug Lamborn (Colo.), Tracey Mann (Kan.), and Vicky Hartzler (Mo.), among others.
The drone strike came just weeks before Iran sent several drones toward a U.S. naval vessel that was operating in the Persian Gulf. Iran says it prevented the United States from interfering in its seizure of an oil tanker.
"We have continued to watch Iran attack U.S. troops and our allies in the Middle East, while increasing its nuclear activities," the lawmakers wrote. "These threats are ongoing, and your administration continues to weaken our ability to combat the Iranian regime by lifting U.S. sanctions."
Steil, speaking to the Free Beacon about the letter, said the Biden administration's singular focus on its diplomacy with Iran sets "the wrong priorities" for America.
"This administration is weakening our ability to combat the regime, and is increasing already heightened tensions in the Middle East," Steil said. "We must hold Iran accountable, and ensure we are protecting Americans, our troops, and civilians in the region."
They paid a foreign national, a Trump hater, over $10 million to create a dossier full of pure lies. They funneled the money through Democrat operatives at a private law firm.
Our mostly complicit, compliant, sycophant press has no concern about facts, only Democrat power
What happened to Donald Trump in 2016 and beyond dwarfed Watergate. Most of the media not only didn't care about the corruption of the Democrats, but they were also major participants in seeking to destroy a candidate, and later, president, they didn't like.
Special Counsel John Durham has started to hit paydirt with three arrests so far, the tip of the iceberg, and the story is essentially buried because the media doesn't care, and they don't want the public to know the truth. If the public learns the truth, they will see how dishonest, corrupt, and dangerous the media is. They will set out to destroy anyone they don't want in elective office. The truth and evidence are never necessary when they are campaigning for Democrats.
The basic story of the 2016 election is that the corrupt, criminal, unlikable Hillary and the DNC couldn't run on their record or unpopular leftist Democrat policies, so they needed to destroy Trump. They clearly couldn't dig up enough truthful dirt, so they set out to create pure fiction. They paid a foreign national, a Trump hater, over $10 million to create a dossier full of pure lies. They funneled the money through Democrat operatives at a private law firm. They committed fraud when they signed documents to the FEC saying these payments were for legal fees. No one at the Hillary campaign or DNC was punished for the fraud because no one cared. They were also supporting Hillary. The swamp is deep.
Then these lies were spread throughout the media and throughout the corrupt Obama-Biden administration to destroy Trump and his associates. The lies were obvious, yet no one cared. All they cared about was electing and protecting Hillary.
Dishonest people working at the FBI used these fictitious documents in lies to the FISA court as they set out to spy on and entrap anyone associated with Trump.
These same agents protected the career criminal Hillary from prosecution no matter how many laws she violated and how many pieces of information she destroyed to obstruct justice. The media didn't care.
For years, the Democrats, including Reps. Schiff and Nadler set out to destroy Trump with endless investigations based on fictitious documents. The media participated in targeting Trump with no evidence. They needed to destroy him because they didn't like his policies.
Schiff, Swalwell, Clapper, Brennan and others went on compliant media outlets to spread lies about Trump being a Russia agent.
The corruption and dishonesty of the media has been clear for decades. Here are some things they haven't cared about or have lied about as they campaigned for Democrats and set out to destroy their political opponents.
Didn’t care about how many women the Clintons physically and mentally abused. People who we are told respect women called them bimbos and trailer trash. The women were disposable as the media, entertainers, and other Democrats campaigned for Bill.
Didn’t care about Bill committing perjury and causing a young subordinate to commit perjury and obstruct justice. Monica was disposable.
Didn’t care how many trips Bill took with known pedophile Epstein. The young girls were disposable if the Clintons wanted power. How many women and young girls were sexually abused by powerful men because so many were campaigning for the Clintons?
Didn’t vet Obama, or care that he associated with radical leftists such as Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers. They also didn’t care about Biden’s record as they sought to destroy McCain and Palin. All that mattered was electing Obama.
Didn’t care about all the lies used to pass Obamacare, nor did they care that Pelosi wouldn’t let members of Congress, the media or the public see it before it was voted on. All the media cared about was the agenda.
Didn’t care about separation of powers when Obama illegally bypassed Congress to pay for shortfalls in Obamacare.
Didn’t care when Obama and Holder obstructed justice for years on Fast and Furious.
Didn’t care when Holder or others in the Obama committed perjury before Congress. They were above the law.
Didn’t care when the corrupt, politicized IRS illegally targeted political opponents of Obama, destroyed computers and documents and lied to Congress. The politicized, corrupt Justice Department decided that the swamp creatures at IRS were above the law. Political opponents of Obama and constitutional rights were disposable.
Didn’t care when the corrupt Justice Department, EPA, and CFPB shook down corporations and set up slush funds to give kickbacks to Obama supporters. Laws and ethics were disposable.
Didn’t care when Obama and Hillary didn’t lift a finger to help people under attack by terrorists in Benghazi. Instead, they concocted a lie about a video causing the attack because the truth might have jeopardized their power in the coming election. They even sent Susan Rice out to five networks to intentionally lie. Now this known liar is high up in the Biden administration.
Didn’t care that people continually lied through the media to get the Iran deal done. Ben Rhoades bragged about how gullible and helpful the media was in perpetuating the lies.
Didn’t care that Obama sent $1.8 billion in unmarked bills to the tyrants in Iran to bribe them.
Didn’t care that Obama dictatorially ordered the politicized, corrupt Justice Department to drop a multiyear, multi department investigation into a billion-dollar drug running operation by terrorists to appease the tyrants in Iran. They were above the law. Obama’s legacy was more important.
Don’t care how many people were killed by drugs and terrorism because Obama cared more about his legacy. The Americans who died were disposable.
Don’t care that the corrupt, politicized, Justice Department was so busy campaigning for Hillary and seeking to destroy Trump that they didn’t care how many laws Hillary and her aides broke, didn’t care how many computers and documents they destroyed, didn’t care how much they obstructed justice, and didn’t care how much they lied. They were above the law because they wanted Hillary to defeat Trump.
Don’t care that Comey, McCabe, Schiff, Brennan, Clapper and others intentionally lied about Trump and Russia for years. They still trot them out when they want to trash Trump.
Willingly participated in spreading the “Hands up Don’t Shoot” lie after Ferguson to gin up racial hate against white cops. They don’t care how many cops were injured or killed by these intentional lies. The cops were disposable.
Participated in the intentional lies as they sought to destroy white Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. The young boys were disposable.
Participated as they sought to destroy Judge Kavanaugh with no evidence. It is astonishing and deplorable how many people the media is willing to destroy to push the leftist agenda.
Never cared about the Biden family corruption. Even buried the truthful story about the Hunter Biden laptop to protect Biden before the election. They still don’t care about all the kickbacks to the Biden’s no matter how much evidence there is.
Instead of caring about the Biden family corruption, the media and other Democrats sought to destroy and impeach Trump for wanting to investigate the corruption -- which should be his job.
Don’t care about sanctuary cities and states and the Biden administration refusing to enforce immigration laws they swore to uphold.
Don’t care about how much Fauci, WHO and others have lied or got wrong or about the Wuhan lab and gain of function research. The children’s financial, physical, and mental health were disposable as schools were unnecessarily closed.
Don’t care about natural immunity as they are willing to fire anyone who dares disagree with the dictatorial mandates to get shots. Those people who get fired are disposable.
Don’t care about how well Florida is doing compared to the rest of the country without mask or vaccine mandates.
Don’t care about all the states where election laws were intentionally violated in the 2020 election. Instead, they pretend that there is nothing to question. They had no concerns when the 2016 election was challenged, and Trump was called an illegitimate President for four years. Instead, they participated in the big lie. They don’t care about voter integrity as they claim requiring a photo ID to vote is racist.
They participate in continuing to call an unarmed protest on January 6 an armed insurrection to intentionally mislead the public.
They don’t care about the only person killed by a weapon on January 6. An unarmed veteran woman shot by a Capitol cop. Ashli Babbitt was disposable.
They not only don’t care that CRT is taught throughout the U.S. They lie about it as they regurgitate the terms, white supremacy, white privilege, and systemic racism to gin up racial hate and division. They do this while they pretend that they are for unifying the country.
They have never cared about evidence to support the radical climate change agenda to destroy America. They don’t care that all the dire predictions have been 100% wrong for decades. All they care about is the agenda.
And they certainly don’t care what is in all the slush funds the Democrats are seeking to pass and how they are paid for. They don’t care that Pelosi is trying to get them passed before they are read and before they are scored by the CBO. They campaign for these bills, sight unseen, because facts don’t matter and haven’t for a long time.
I am sure others can think of many other things that the media doesn’t care about.
What should we call the press who cares more about who they elect and an agenda than the truth? What should we call people who are willing to destroy anyone who gets in the way of the left’s quest for power? Wouldn’t enemies of the people be an appropriate term? Calling these people progressive is certainly mislabeling.

Biden’s Fort Hood Back Story
“Soldier of Allah” Nidal Hasan still triumphant, as the Biden Junta partners with the Taliban.
“We Have Won!!! All-Praises be to All-Mighty Allah!” came the cry as the American forces departed Afghanistan in disgrace.
Was this a Taliban commander at the controls of an American Apache helicopter? Or perhaps a Taliban fighter brandishing the latest American assault rifle? No, it was Leavenworth inmate Nidal Hasan, a former major in the U.S. Army who called himself a “soldier of Allah.”
In 2009, Hasan was communicating with al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki about killing American soldiers, then shipping out for Afghanistan. The FBI knew all about it but did nothing to stop Hasan. On November 5, 2009, at Fort Hood, Texas, Hasan gunned down 13 unarmed American soldiers and wounded more than 30 others.
For the composite character president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, it was not terrorism but “workplace violence,” not even a punishable offence in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The composite character, formerly known as Barry Soetoro, failed to name a single victim and on subsequent anniversaries held no special ceremony to honor the victims’ families.
Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013, but the sentence was not carried out. In 2014, the president declined to meet with Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who took seven bullets from the soldier of Allah. If the president ever visited any victims’ families, nothing has come to light.
After the 2009 attack, vice president Joe Biden said, “Jill and I join the President and Michelle in expressing our sympathies to the families of the brave soldiers who fell today. We are all praying for those who were wounded and hoping for their full and speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the entire Fort Hood community as they deal with this senseless tragedy.”
Joe Biden failed to name a single victim or explain how they “fell.” For the Delaware Democrat, it was just a senseless tragedy, not an Islamic terrorist attack, an atrocity, or even a crime. Hasan’s mass murder of Americans, in solidarity with the Taliban, failed to prompt any investigation into how many other “soldiers of Allah” might remain in the ranks.
As Lessons from Fort Hood confirms, the Washington office of the FBI called off surveillance of Hasan. It remains unclear whether anyone in the FBI was disciplined, demoted or dismissed over a failure that claimed 13 lives. This invites a comparison with Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Biden’s military shared intelligence with the Taliban, and gave them a list of Americans still trapped in Afghanistan. Biden also hired the Taliban for security at the airport, which facilitated the terrorist bomb that claimed 13 American lives.
In his delayed response to the atrocity, Joe Biden mumbled something about his late son Beau but mentioned not a single American victim by name. As with Fort Hood, Biden held no special event at the White House and showed little if any concern for the victims’ families. On the other hand, Biden did ramp up one of the composite character’s worst policies: targeting his domestic opposition as the primary threat to the United States.
For example, in 2009 DHS boss Janet Napolitano released Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment. This document warned of “white supremacist” types that reject federal authority. This was code for anyone less than worshipful of the composite character, particularly those who value their constitutional rights. In 2021, such embattled Americans mighty consider the Biden Junta’s Interim National Security Strategic Guidance (INSSG) report, a replacement for the Trump strategy.
As a serving U.S. military officer and Iraq veteran notes, the Biden INSSG gives priority not to external enemies but challenges from within, including “inequality” as the primary threat. “Domestic violent extremism” gets a workout and “economic” concerns are mentioned 34 times. That marks a contrast to 15 times for China, and five for Russia, both nuclear-armed adversaries of the United States.
The Biden INSSG mentions “diversity” seven times, and “climate” a full 27 times. Observing the Col. Scheller case, and the DOJ jihad against parents, the officer concludes “we have an administration that believes the greatest threats are those citizens who disagree with the administration’s agenda.”
As with Communist China, Biden appears to believe the Taliban are “not bad folks,” and worthy of partnership. One of their early allies was Nidal Hasan, who gunned down 13 unarmed Americans, including Pvt. Francheska Velez, who was pregnant and died crying “my baby!” For the composite character it was workplace violence and for Joe Biden the Americans only “fell” in a “senseless tragedy.”
Twelve years later, Hasan claims “we have won!” That tells other soldiers of Allah in the ranks that, under the Biden Junta they can murder American soldiers with impunity, keep their own life, and live on for the terrorist cause.
Soldiers Forced To Bunk Outdoors While Afghan Refugees Slept in Their Barracks
Afghans first, Americans last.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
In 2019, members of the 2nd Battalion, 127th Infantry returned home from Afghanistan. In early October, the 127th left Appleton, Wisconsin and traveled to Fort McCoy for training.
Unfortunately, Fort McCoy was already occupied by an estimated 13,000 Afghan “refugees”.
According to Rep. Tom Tiffany, who has paid several visits to Fort McCoy, the base only has the capacity to house 10,000 people, and is struggling to cope with the overflow in tents. When they first arrived some 600 Afghans had been quarantined with a variety of infectious conditions.
Fort McCoy, located in rural Wisconsin between the small cities of Sparta and Tomah, started out as an artillery range and its barracks were intended to house military personnel arriving for training exercises, not huge numbers of foreign migrants. The barracks, which were built during World War II, are in poor condition and a new construction project only recently got underway.
Even while hosting the largest population of Afghan migrants in the country, Fort McCoy struggled to maintain its training role. Over 100,000 troops had trained there during the fiscal year with personnel from all of the services participating in everything from cold weather operations (it gets pretty cold in that part of the country) and various exercises.
When the 127th arrived, the barracks they were meant to sleep in had already been taken. With Afghans sleeping in their barracks and their beds, they reportedly had to sleep outside instead.
“The summers are warm and wet; the winters are freezing, snowy, and windy,” is how the local weather has been described. In October the weather had begun its slow descent from warm and wet to freezing, but it was not the Afghans who were expected to deal with the weather.
According to a Department of Defense spokesperson, “The 2-127 Infantry Battalion was offered access to the hard structures in the field, as the barracks on post are currently occupied by our Afghan guests.” The spokesperson also insisted that, “There were no unexpected weather events during the training and no impact to the Fort McCoy mission or training for the service members.” And yet according to some the impact on morale has been quite serious.
The displacement of American soldiers to make way for Afghan migrants was symbolic of events in Washington D.C. and at Fort McCoy where refugee meals closely follow Islamic Sharia and liquor was removed from the shelves of the PX so as not to offend the Afghans.
The men of the “Red Arrow” are used to challenges. With a history that includes the Iron Brigade of the Civil War and the Les Terribles in WWI, and as members of the Wisconsin National Guard, they’re not afraid of weather. But the displacement drove home to them where the priorities of the military brass lie, not with the soldiers who served in Afghanistan, but the Afghans whom the Taliban waved past their terrorist checkpoints in Kabul and on to America.
Some no longer recognize Fort McCoy, divided into Afghan “neighborhoods” where the hated Shuras (an Islamic form of tribal governance) have been reconvened and are dictating to base personnel the way that they did during the failed “hearts and minds” efforts in Afghanistan.
The national media, which had little interest in Fort McCoy when it was filled with American heroes training to save lives and win wars, has swarmed over the place. The Today Show, among many others, has filmed canned propaganda segments touting carefully selected Afghan refugees, usually young, western, and female, who locals say are unrepresentative of the thousands of covered and frightened young women, many of them pregnant, in the barracks.
Sources say that reporters are asked to leave their cars behind in the visitor lot and then bused over to selected locations. Camera interviews are usually conducted at the main gate to avoid anything problematic in the background.
What are they worried about?
Since the Afghans swarmed into Fort McCoy, two Afghan refugees are federal facing charges, one for "attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor" and another for "assaulting his spouse by strangling and suffocating her". But that may only be the tip of a very large iceberg.
A leaked State Department document contained multiple reports of "child brides" and polygamous marriages at Fort McCoy. Wisconsin Democrats however tried to shut down reports by whistleblowers about the abuse of young girls happening right on our military bases.
"There are no cases in Fort McCoy right now with child, 15-or- under, who is married," Sen. Tammy Baldwin contended in a very precisely worded denial leaving open the question of whether such cases had existed in the past or whether the children weren’t technically married.
Locals in nearby Sparta whose medical resources have been drafted into the Afghan refugee crisis however describe large numbers of pregnant women, some looking very young and a threatening atmosphere where calls to emergency services in the small city are a constant.
The media plays up stories of impoverished refugees, but sources say that the Fort McCoy Post Exchange keeps running out of smaller bills because the Afghan refugees have plenty of hundred dollar bills to spend. Not to mention credit cards and cell phones.
While locals have generously donated their own clothing, the Islamic Society of Milwaukee has been conducting its own clothing drive focused on hijabs and "traditional" and "modest clothing" for the women. The infidel clothes apparently weren’t sufficiently compliant with Sharia law.
Despite media disinformation, few if any of the Afghans were “interpreters”, many did not even speak English, and the vast majority had not received visas to come to the United States, When the Biden administration surrendered Kabul to the Taliban, it allowed the terrorist group to man the checkpoints and pick which Afghans (and Americans) were allowed to make it to the airport.
The Afghans who had legitimate visas based on their time working for the United States were not allowed through. Some may have been abducted and killed after the Biden administration turned over lists of visa recipients to the Taliban. Only 1,800 SIV visa holders made it here. Another 50,000 were Afghans who had no legal right to be here and once in this country began committing crimes and disappearing from the bases that were hosting them.
Many in Sparta are worried about what this influx of Afghan migrants means for them.
When Cuban refugees were housed at Fort McCoy, some stayed on in the area. Locals are concerned that history may repeat itself with the large number of Afghans. Even if only a few hundred are left behind, they could significantly change the character of the area.
To some locals, the sight of Americans being displaced by Afghans may be their future.
Nigeria Jails Epoch Times Reporter Covering Jihadist Massacres
The anti-communist newspaper Epoch Times denounced this weekend the arrest of Luka Binniyat, a reporter for the publication based in Nigeria who focused on Christian persecution there at the hands of Fulani jihadists.
Binniyat has been active as a representative of civil society in his native Kaduna state for years and previously wrote for Vanguard, one of Nigeria’s largest newspapers. The last article he published at the Epoch Times, “In Nigeria, Police Decry Massacres as ‘Wicked’ but Make No Arrests,” Binniyat quoted local lawmakers condemning the government of President Muhammadu Buhari for failing to act to protect Christians in areas that Fulani jihadists target.
The Epoch Times covers global affairs but has most often faced criminal attacks or police pressure for its coverage of China. The newspaper’s Hong Kong offices have suffered multiple attacks, including arson, presumably in response to its support for the anti-communist democracy movement that erupted there in 2019.
The Chinese Communist Party has developed close ties to Nigeria through its “Belt and Road” colonization initiative, but no evidence currently suggests Beijing played a role in Binniyat’s detention.
The Fulani jihadists, often referred to as Fulani herdsmen, have terrorized Christian communities in north-central Nigeria for years. While some observers suggest that the violence began as tension between the mostly-Muslim Fulani herdsmen and mostly-Christian farmers in Kaduna and neighboring states, in the past decade, it has erupted into a campaign of jihadist persecution against any Christian communities that the attackers consider present in the territory they consider theirs. In 2018, death tolls found the Fulani herdsmen deadlier than Boko Haram, the jihadist organization affiliated with the Islamic State that is most active in northeastern Borno state.
Fulani attacks often involve the burning down of entire villages, hacking civilians to death with machetes, and other atrocities.
Buhari, an ethnic Fulani himself who became president in 2015 after a stint as military dictator in the 1980s, won the election that year by vowing to eradicate Boko Haram. Buhari has done little since, however, to deter jihadist assaults in the north of the country.
Police detained Binniyat, according to the Epoch Times, on November 4, and have yet to charge him with any crime. The newspaper cited a friend, Reuben Buhari, who said that he believes police will charge him with the crimes of “injurious falsehood and incitement,” likely in response to his coverage of Fulani terrorism in the newspaper. Buhari said he believed formal charges would drop on Monday.
Binniyat’s last article before his arrest detailed the silence of federal government officials in response to the mass killing of dozens of Christians in Kaduna at the hands of Fulani terrorists. Kaduna Senator Danjuma Laah accused the Buhari government in the article of covering up a “genocide” by dismissing the attacks as a “clash” – a term that would imply the Christians were also engaging in violence, for which no evidence exists.
“If it is a clash, why were no herdsmen among those killed and injured?” Sen. Laah asked in the article.
Binniyat himself described the latest Fulani attack in the text as a “brutal murder by a militia armed with assault rifles.”
The journalist has not hidden his disdain for the Buhari government online, describing the Buhari government in one post on Twitter as a “dream for opportunists, rogues in [government], con artists and crooks of all kinds of shades.”
In addition to accusing the government of turning a blind eye to the mass murder of Christians and allowing crime to thrive in the country, he identified and named wealthy Nigerians on his social media account, in one instance, accusing a woman of “serially abusing” domestic help and publishing videos showing the alleged victims’ scars.
“The recent arrest of Luka Binniyat—after he reported on the massacres for an American media outlet—continues a systematic government cover-up of Fulani atrocities against peaceful Christian villagers,” the Hudson Institute’s Nina Shea told the Epoch Times in response to his arrest. “This is further evidence that an ethnic-religious genocide is being carried out in northern Nigeria and is being done so with official collusion.”
Binnayat was previously arrested in 2017 for “injurious falsehood” for an article in Vanguard covering the mass killing of students at the College of Education, Gidan-Waya.
His current publication has also struggled in hostile settings, most prominently in response to its coverage of China. In 2019, at the height of the anti-communist protests in Hong Kong, unidentified attackers attempted to burn down the Epoch Times printing house, presumably to prevent it from publishing new editions. Two years later, after China imposed an illegal “national security law” on the autonomous region, unknown attackers again targeted the newspaper, breaking into its offices with sledgehammers and destroying a significant amount of its workspace.
Also that year, unidentified attackers assaulted Epoch Times journalist Sarah Liang on the streets of Hong Kong, an incident similar to what anti-communist activists had endured in the city.
