Inconsistent Trump Administration Flying Right, Recently

This month’s newsletter includes some encouraging reports about DHS, DOJ, FBI, HHS, and ICE targeting action against both individuals and groups at least allegedly/potentially involved in jihad activity and plots here in the United States.

Some encouraging stats on FBI arrests and terror plots disrupted – October 27, 2026, at the FBI “X” account

“Report: Biden-Era Afghan Refugee Program Had a 40% Error Rate, Potentially Bringing Terrorists and Other Dangerous Criminals into the United States” at the Department of Homeland Security, September 29, 2026

“DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin Goes Off on the ‘Prophet’ Muhammad, Issues Warning About Islam (VIDEO)” by Cristina Laila at the Gateway Pundit, October 20, 2026

• It’s encouraging to see our DHS Secretary so well-aware of the danger from Islam and jihad – but given that neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor any of its US front groups has ever committed an act of kinetic violence (terrorism) against the US/Americans, it may be hoped the focus of our national defense would also include ‘Civilization Jihad’ subversion from within, in addition to terrorism.

“Fort Hood jihadist faces death — now Washington must purge its policy of lies about Islamic radicalism” by Reed D. Rubenstein at STARRS, 8 October 2026 

• On the right track here, but jihad is neither “Islamism” nor “radical”. It is mainstream, orthodox doctrine of the Islamic faith and those like Nidal Hasan who engage in jihad are praised as the most devout, faithful, and obedient of all Muslims. Those who die in pursuit of jihad, as Hasan looks likely to do now, are hailed as shahids, who are believed to earn immediate entry into eternity in paradise.

“ICE detains Kashmiri filmmaker with asylum case pending” at Muslim Network TV, October 8, 2026 

• Not clear yet why this filmmaker was detained upon arrival at Dulles Airport, but the tone of this website is sympathetic to his case and critical of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

“CAIR Scandal: Which Islamist Groups Received Biden Administration Funding?” by Antonio Graceffo at Gateway Pundit, October 7, 2026 

• This action by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) seems part of a much-welcomed intensified USG focus on CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and its Muslim Brotherhood ties.

“Justice Department Announces Arrests and Charges in Dismantling Hamas Terror Finance Network Raising Funds From the US” by Margaret Flavin at Gateway Pundit, October 2, 2026 

• This DOJ action is taking aim at an international network allegedly providing material support to terrorism involving the potential collecting and solicitation of funds for US-terror-designated HAMAS.
