Here’s How Many Noncitizens Trump DOJ Has Charged in Election Fraud Cases

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

In less than two years, federal prosecutors in the Trump administration charged about four times as many noncitizens with election fraud crimes as the Biden administration’s Justice Department in the entirety of the four-year term.

Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term, charges have been brought against 50 noncitizen defendants for alleged offenses such as illegally voting or illegally registering to vote, according to the Justice Department.

Also, during this Trump term, 17 noncitizens were convicted of voting-related offenses. One defendant was found not guilty, while the remaining defendants’ cases are pending, according to Justice Department figures.

During the four years of the Biden administration under Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Justice Department brought charges against 13 noncitizens for illegal voting-related offenses. Of those, nine defendants were found guilty, including two whose voter fraud charges were dismissed as part of plea agreements.

“The contrast with the prior administration could not be clearer — this department is enforcing the law against noncitizen voting in ways the last administration simply refused to,” a Justice Department spokesperson told the Daily Signal. “Protecting the integrity of our elections is a top priority for this Department.”

Trump has advocated for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which requires photo ID to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote. Though prospects for the bill’s passage look dim before Election Day, its supporters point to the prosecutions as evidence of the need for additional safeguards.

If annualized over four years, Trump’s second-term Justice Department has brought almost 10 times as many charges as the Biden Justice Department. That means, at the current pace, it amounts to about 31 defendants per year under Trump, compared with 3.25 per year under Biden.

“These are illegal votes that are cast and counted, and once they’re counted, they can’t be uncounted,” Cleta Mitchell, the co-founder of the Only Citizens Vote Coalition, told the Daily Signal.

“First the Left says this never happens, noncitizens never vote. Then you say, ‘Look at this,’” Mitchell added. “Then they come back to say, well, it’s not widespread. How many illegal votes are OK with you? We want to make sure there are no illegal votes cast.”

To demonstrate the impact a single vote—or a single illegal vote—could have on an election, the Public Interest Legal Foundation established a database showing 1,376 tied elections and 531 contests decided by a single vote since 1982.

A majority of the Justice Department charges and convictions in this area came since October, or the start of fiscal year 2026, with 29 defendants. In that time, there were 11 convictions.

In most cases, defendants in both administrations were charged with multiple crimes.

For example, in December 2021, during the Biden era, the Eastern District of North Carolina announced an indictment against a Bahamian citizen on 10 counts, including voting in elections from 2018 through 2020; falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote; passport fraud; and false statements.

In September 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama charged an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with using a U.S. citizen’s identity, registering to vote, and voting in Alabama in the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections. She pleaded guilty on Jan. 15, 2025, days before Trump’s inauguration.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida garnered guilty pleas from a Cuban national in September 2025, a Haitian national convicted in April of this year, and a Brazilian national in May for illegal voting.

In May 2026, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey announced four separate noncitizen voting prosecutions. In June, the office announced that a French citizen pleaded guilty to voting in the 2022 election.

The Justice Department has received assistance in several cases from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations, the law enforcement wing of the Department of Homeland Security.

“Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: We will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences—including criminal charges and deportation,” the Department of Homeland Security spokesman told the Daily Signal in an email.

Homeland Security Investigations began focusing this week on California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington state, and Wisconsin, CNN reported.

“Since April 2025, more than 24,000 cases have been identified by SAVE as potential non-U.S. citizens who were on voter rolls, and those cases have been referred to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation,” the Department of Homeland Security spokesman said.

“Over the past year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has overhauled the SAVE program, making it fully operational and providing states with an easy-to-use tool that has resulted in over 60 million voter verification queries processed since April 2025,” the Department of Homeland Security spokesman added.

Muslim Terrorist Attacks in the United States — 1990 to 2026

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

We were stuck by a post on X by Visegrád 24 stating, “The Gays for Gaza activist Cameron Capara has been shot dead in a random attack in front a gay bar in Tucson by an Islamist migrant from Gambia. The gay pro-Palestine activist was killed on August 31st along with a gay friend he had just left the bar with.”

Here’s the picture of the “Gays for Gaza” activist Cameron Capara and the Islamist migrant from Gambia Ousman Ceesay:

As we are just six days away from the attack on 9/11/2001 here’s the history of Islamists attacks.

We decided to remind our readers about the history of Muslim attacks in the USA.

Major terrorist attacks in the United States motivated by Islamist/jihadist ideology between 1990 and 2026 include:

1990s

  • 1993 World Trade Center Bombing (Feb 26, 1993): A truck bomb was detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people were killed and over 1,000 were injured.
  • 1997 Empire State Building Shooting (Feb 23, 1997): Palestinian gunman Ali Hassan Abu Kamal opened fire on the 86th-floor observation deck, killing one person and injuring six others before dying by suicide.

2000s

  • September 11 Attacks (Sep 11, 2001): Nineteen al-Qaeda hijackers commandeered four commercial airliners, crashing them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks killed 2,977 people and injured thousands.
  • 2002 Seattle Jewish Federation Shooting (Jul 28, 2006): Naveed Afzal Haq opened fire at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, killing one person and injuring five others.
  • 2009 Little Rock Recruiting Office Shooting (Jun 1, 2009): Abdulhakim Muhammad opened fire on a U.S. military recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas, killing one soldier and wounding another.
  • 2009 Fort Hood Shooting (Nov 5, 2009): U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan opened fire at the Fort Hood processing center in Texas, killing 13 people and injuring more than 30.

2010s

  • 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing (Apr 15, 2013): Brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev detonated two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing 3 people and injuring over 260.
  • 2014 New York City Hatchet Attack (Oct 23, 2014): Zale H. Thompson attacked four NYPD officers with a hatchet in Queens, injuring two before being shot dead.
  • 2015 Garland Attack (May 3, 2015): Two gunmen inspired by ISIS opened fire outside a Curtis Culwell Center event in Garland, Texas, injuring a security guard before being killed by police.
  • 2015 Chattanooga Shootings (Jul 16, 2015): Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire at two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing four U.S. Marines and a Navy sailor.
  • 2015 San Bernardino Attack (Dec 2, 2015): Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik carried out a mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in California, killing 14 people and injuring 22.
  • 2016 Pulse Nightclub Shooting (Jun 12, 2016): Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS before opening fire inside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people and wounding 53.
  • 2016 St. Cloud Mall Stabbing (Sep 17, 2016): Dahir Adan carried out a mass stabbing at a shopping mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, injuring 10 people before being killed by an off-duty officer.
  • 2016 Ohio State University Attack (Nov 28, 2016): Abdul Razak Ali Artan rammed pedestrians with a car and used a butcher knife to attack people on campus, injuring 11 before being killed.
  • 2017 New York City Truck Attack (Oct 31, 2017): Sayfullo Saipov drove a rental truck down a bike path in Lower Manhattan, killing 8 people and injuring 12 in the name of ISIS.
  • 2019 Naval Air Station Pensacola Shooting (Dec 6, 2019): Mohammed Alshamrani, a Saudi aviation trainee inspired by al-Qaeda, opened fire at the naval station, killing 3 people and injuring 8.

The Bottom Line

Concerns regarding antisemitic incidents, rhetoric, and political friction in New York City related to Zohran Mamdani focus on several key developments:

Key Incidents and Criticisms

  • Central Synagogue Incident (August 2026): Following an attack where a suspect disrupted services, struck a congregant, and spat on a guard at Manhattan’s Central Synagogue, critics and local community members held rallies accusing the administration’s rhetoric of fostering hostility toward Jewish institutions.
  • Park East Synagogue Protest (Late 2025): Protesters gathered outside the Manhattan synagogue chanting hostile slogans. The administration faced criticism for a statement that addressed both the protest language and the use of sacred spaces for political events, which opponents argued drew a false equivalence.
  • Neighborhood Demonstrations: Tensions arose during demonstrations outside various Jewish institutions and land-sale events in Brooklyn, leading to localized clashes and an increased police presence to separate rival demonstration groups.

Pro-Israel activists, community organizations, and political opponents argue that Mamdani’s vocal anti-Zionist positions, refusal to explicitly condemn phrases like “globalize the intifada,” and public calls to protest visiting Israeli leaders create a permissive environment for antisemitism and intimidation against Jewish residents.

Muslims like Mamdami follow shriah law that requires the the absolute domination of infidels, non-Muslims.

As we approach the 2026 mid-term elections many Muslim candidates are on the Democrat Socialist Party’s nominees.

EXCLUSIVE: Sanctuary Policies Shielded Illegal Alien Accused Of Impregnating His Teen Daughter

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Sanctuary policies have repeatedly shielded an illegal alien accused of sexually abusing his teenage daughter, who allegedly killed their baby, the Daily Caller learned.

California’s sanctuary policies enabled Sergio Galvez-Perez to allegedly abuse his 14-year-old daughter, who was later accused of killing the baby conceived as a result of her father’s abuse. Authorities in California are actively searching for Galvez-Perez and his daughter after the baby was found dead on the side of the road on Aug. 1, 2026.

A warrant was issued for Galvez-Perez on charges of incest, unlawful sexual intercourse, lewd or lascivious acts with a minor, and other crimes.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to the Daily Caller that Galvez-Perez was a criminal illegal alien.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE is targeting the worst of the worst,” the DHS spokesperson told the Caller. “Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.”

“Our message is clear: if you come into our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you wherever you are, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued Galvez-Perez a detainer on July 11, 2023, after his arrest for driving under the influence, but the detainer was not honored, a DHS spokesperson told the Caller. Galvez-Perez had illegally reentered the country in 2016 and was encountered by Border Patrol near San Ysidro.

Galvez-Perez was first arrested by ICE in Nov. of 2007 in Florida, and he was removed from the country in Jan. 2008. Later, he was able to reenter the country.

Galvez-Perez had a long and violent criminal history that includes operating a vehicle without a license, driving under the influence, hit-and-run with damage to property, battery, domestic violence, and aggravated assault, a DHS spokesperson confirmed to the Caller.

The Nature and Development of Jihad

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Jihad is at the core of the “religion of peace.” Jihad occupies most of Islam’s theology and concerns. Jihad is addressed in 9% of the Mecca Quran; 24% of the Median Quran; and in 67% of the Sira. True to form, Muslims claim that the emphasis on jihad is about the individual battling his own faults and flaws, the so-called “greater jihad,” and not that of battling others, the “lesser jihad.”

As a matter of fact, only 2% of the jihad of the Hadith refers to the greater jihad, while the other 98% is about the lesser jihad, or the jihad of the sword.

The Menace of Jihadism

Bewildered by what fanatic Muslims do, some conclude that they must be brainwashed. Otherwise, how can their totally irrational belief system and often self-destructive actions be explained? But the notion of “brainwashing” that is bandied about is the stuff of science fiction and Hollywood movies such as The Manchurian Candidate.

The human person arrives in this world with his brains already washed, in the sense of being what John Locke called the tabula rasa, blank slate — ready for experience to imprint its script on it. John Locke was only partially correct. The brain also arrives with numerous predispositions already in place. It is a combination of life’s influences and a person’s own decisions that determine which of these dispositions develop and which ones fail. It is through this process that a unique human being is formed.

Many animals come with already in-place programs that automatically run much of their lives. Birds’ migration, mating courtship and thousands of other complex behaviors are instances of this type of specific programming. A catchword for this type of behavior is “instinct.” As a rule, the higher the organism the less is its rigid pre-programing and the greater its latitude to exercise choices.

Making choices depend on what there is to choose from and to what extent a given choice appeals to that person. And the human newborn enters the arena of life without the means of being other than a passive recipient of “things” already chosen for him.

It is like the old joke by Henry Ford, who reportedly told his customers that they could have their choice of color for their new car as long as it was black. Things are almost as bleak for the new arrival. The newborn does not have any say in choosing his parents, his socioeconomic condition, his environment of birth and much more. All are already in place and he is to start in life from the context of his birth.

The development of a newborn in any family is importantly influenced by many factors, among them how hands-on the parents are; how religious they are, how severely they micromanage him in their efforts to make him not only a good person but also a person better than themselves.

Parents tend to live vicariously through their children by programming them, the best they can, so that children become or achieve much of what they themselves failed to become or to accomplish. This attitude covers all areas of life such as giving the child the education they didn’t have, helping him with fame and fortune, nurturing him to become a topnotch athlete and so forth.

It is a fact that early influences play a cardinal role in shaping the person. For this reason, for instance, the overwhelming majority of Muslims are born into Muslim families, Catholics into Catholic families, Hindus into Hindu families and so on. It is also a fact that the degree of religiosity ranges from mild to strong, with most people falling somewhere in between the two extremes.

Interestingly, two siblings raised by the same set of parents under the same influences may end up at the opposite extremes in their religious views and practices. It is here that the human dynamic of freedom of choice comes into play and steers one to one extreme and the other to the other extreme. Occasional extreme deviations notwithstanding, the great majority of siblings of a given family end up with various degrees of that family’s overall religious perceptions and other values. The same general principle of subscribing to a set of common values exists in all human groupings, in some cases with broad flexibility and inclusiveness while in others with rigidity and exclusivity.

In order to enjoy the privileges of belonging to a group, the person must also pay his membership dues.

The very young human faces, beginning the minute he can make some sense of the world, a bewildering array of mysteries, challenges, and enticements. There are questions at every step, fears, and hopes entangled with the need to survive and the hope to thrive.

Who am I? What is this world all about? What’s the purpose? What am I supposed to do and how? Where am I headed? People die. Where do they go? Endless questions with few clear and solid answers. The information booths available to him in the fairground of life provide him with answers that may help relieve his innate existential anxiety. And it is here that religion plays its critical role and holds great appeal. Religion provides a surefire answer to those who are willing to take it on faith.

And Islam is a powerful magnet for the masses that are unable to deal with the uncertainties of life and death on their own. It is from this population, many already thoroughly indoctrinated from birth, that most diehard jihadists emerge.

It is the bargain the jihadist makes. He surrenders totally to the religion of surrender in exchange for a blanket security. Islam gives him all the answers he really seeks for dealing with this world and promises him a most lush and eternal paradise of Allah once he leaves it—all of course contingent on being a male. And leaving this world in perfect submission as the foot-soldier of the paradise’s creator gives the faithful unimaginably glorious sensual eternal reward in his next life, he is promised. It’s a bargain that some buy in whole, some in part, some refuse and seek other means of dealing with their questions and the unrelenting existential anxiety.

The great majority of jihadists emanate from the ranks of those born into the religion of Islam, simply because they are the ones who are most thoroughly indoctrinated and influenced by Islamic dogma in their most receptive early years. Yet there are few others who embrace Islam in adulthood, on their own, and enlist themselves as devoted jihadists for the same rewards that Islam offers them.

Islam has a great advantage of the first call on the new arrival. It is an omnipresent system with masses of believers, mosques and madrasahs, and a host of other social and economic organizations that overpower the person and steer him into the same fold; it is a sea of people who seem to know what they are all about, what life and death are all about, and what one must also do.

Within this sea of surging humanity composed of some 1.5 billion Muslims, each individual believer — a drop — through a combination of choice and forces beyond his control, ends up in one of its many waves. It is the jihadist wave that is highly attractive to the thoroughly indoctrinated and poorly adjusted in dealing rationally and independently with life. Here he finds the ironclad perfect solution to his anxieties and perplexities.

To a jihadist, death is nothing more than the casting off a shell of the worthless earthly existence and donning the suit for winging joyously to the life of bliss promised by none other than Allah’s beloved final emissary, Muhammad.

Eradication of jihadism is a daunting task. Massive education efforts, combined with resolute confrontation of all sources and people that support and promote this deadly philosophy, hold the best promise of dealing effectively with this affliction of humanity.

In addition to the family, places such as mosques and madrasahs, Islamic associations and charitable organizations, prisons, and the like are incubators of jihadists. Massive efforts are required, on the one hand, to drain the breeding swamps of the Islamic virus, while on the other hand helping Muslims adopt an alternative perspective of life that addresses their perplexities and offers a degree of comfort that religions dispense without pitting one segment of humanity against another.

In the monumental task of dealing with jihadism, every individual, group and government must combine their resources and energies to prevail.

The destiny of civilized life hangs in the balance. It is an unpardonable act of shirking responsibility for anyone to adopt the attitude of “let Trump do it.” Trump, is you. Trump is I. Trump is every enlightened human being and organization who values human liberty and dignity.

Biden Judge Rules Trump Admin CANNOT Deport Foreigners Who Express Support for Terrorist Groups

Federal judge says US cannot deport noncitizen students who criticize Israel

By Molly Parks, Washington Examiner, August 29, 2026:

A federal judge in the Northern District of California has ruled against the Trump administration’s policy of deportation when it comes to revoking the visas of and deporting non-citizens who protest Israel in support of Gaza.

Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Noel Wise agreed with the Stanford Daily newspaper in its lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s policy of seeking to revoke the visas of and deport student protestors it deemed as pro-Hamas. The newspaper challenged the administration in court in August 2025 after it said its opinion writers have “self-censored because of their rational concern about the ongoing danger of deportation for expression” of what the administration could deem “anti-Israel” viewpoints.

Wise ruled that the administration’s policy of using the Immigration and Nationality Act to deport non-citizens and revoke their visas based on protected speech violated the First and Fifth Amendments. She wrote in her 90-page opinion that the freedom of speech, “including the freedom to criticize the government and its leaders,” is “evidence of [democracy’s] strength.”

Radical Socialists Rock the Democratic Party: ‘I Do Not Think They Can Push Back’

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Year of the Democratic Socialists took another twist Tuesday when the House went on the offensive to paint Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) party as a dangerous force of anti-Americanism. While the New Yorker has desperately tried to put some distance between Democrats and the DSA (somewhat unsuccessfully, others would add), the party’s drift toward mind-boggling radicalism is putting the entire country on edge.

The four-page resolution at the center of the House’s return to Washington this week “condemns and denounces socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States.” The brainchild of Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.) spells out the wild ideas of the DSA, including abolishing prisons, ICE, the U.S. Senate, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, and the presidency as we know it. Yet, despite those blaring red sirens, Jeffries’s rank-and-file are trying to dismiss the GOP’s concerns as “silly season.”

“Let’s scare people with yet another boogeyman and not do anything about it. Not really solve problems,” Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.) argued. But others, like Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.), were quick to push back, reminding her that this is no hypothetical. “I’ve seen firsthand the alarming rise of socialism,” he said. “… Families in western New York have watched one-party rule in Albany pile on more taxes, more mandates, more government control, while hardworking taxpayers are left to foot the bill,” Langworthy warned. “And now downstate, we’ve watched the socialist left move more from the activist fringe into positions of real, serious political power. And anyone [who] thinks that these ideas are going to stay confined in New York City is sadly mistaken.”

While Jeffries’s lieutenants speak out of both sides of their mouths about the creeping communist agenda — “Democratic Socialists aren’t part of the Democratic Party,” but “we’re a broad caucus” — conservatives are making it clear that the party has already been ideologically captured.

“[S]cores of these candidates coming up through the system at the state level and congressional level,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) emphasized on Saturday’s “This Week on Capitol Hill” with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. “Almost 40 of them now have prevailed and gone through these primary processes, because … the energy, the excitement, the grassroots, the money is on the side of the insurgent Left, sadly, in the Democratic Party. They’re taking the party over. And this is not a game,” he said somberly. “It’s not a flash in the pan. This isn’t a New York City thing. It’s happened in Oklahoma. It happened in Florida. It’s happening in red states, and it’s something that we must take into account.”

And this extreme makeover of Democrats is happening at warp speed, Johnson underscored. “… [A] few years ago, Republicans and Democrats in Congress [were] arguing over marginal tax rates and shades of regulation. We are now quite literally locked into a contest to determine whether we’re going to keep our republic — to keep the country as it is, or to break this thing down to the foundation and go [down] an entirely different road and set of principles towards communism. That’s the balance.”

The speaker, who’s been crisscrossing the country with this urgent message, pointed to a new website that Republicans put together called ContrastForAmerica.com that lays out the grim history of communism and socialism. “It always — every single time — has led to human suffering, misery, famine, even to death and the murder of tens of millions of innocent people in the 20th century alone. We can’t do it. It’s anti-American, and everybody needs to wake up right now. That is what is on the ballot almost 65 days from today.”

Johnson pointed to some of the shocking platforms embraced by candidates vying for some of the highest offices in Congress. There’s Abdul El-Sayed, running for Michigan’s Senate seat, who won’t disavow streamer Hasan Piker for blaming America for 9/11 or for calling Jews “bloodthirsty pig dogs.” The radical Muslim, whose own anti-Semitism has earned him the scorn of even far-Left Democrats like Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), is frantically trying to make inroads to the state’s Jewish population despite more baggage than a Boeing 737.

Yet if he wins, El-Sayed will be one of the most powerful voices in Washington. These are people, the speaker cautioned, “who are so determined to rip the Constitution in half.” And when some of these candidates get elected, “and they will in some of these blue districts,” he concedes, “you’re going to have a number of effectively communists elected to Congress under the Constitution.” So what happens? “Will they disavow what they say if they raise their hand and they take an oath to uphold the Constitution? Someone would have to prove that they’re lying. It’s a very subjective determination. I mean, it’s a fascinating, untested, unprecedented question. Those are the times in which we live.”

At the end of the day, “They’re delusional,” the speaker shook his head. “They do not understand history. They do not understand how dangerous this is. And the idea that anyone who is currently sitting in Congress or the Senate, like [Senator] Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.] or any of them … would align themselves with this madness is crazy. … And I’m sad to tell you,” the Louisianan lamented, “I say this with great sadness, I think it’s too late for the Democrat[ic] Party. I do not think they can push back.”

Conservatives will continue to, despite allegations from the Left that anti-socialism resolutions like the one the House is pursuing this week are unnecessary. Yes, FRC’s Quena González acknowledges, some of this is political strategy. But that’s not to say the threat isn’t real.

“Republicans voting for a resolution condemning socialism less than two months before the midterms is a classic election-year maneuver to find the lowest of low-hanging fruit. It’s a clever ploy,” he notes, “because Democrats in Congress are watching members of the Democratic Socialists of America win primaries and can’t afford to condemn them without risking their chance of retaking the House majority.”

Obviously, González acknowledges, “It would be easy for Christians to throw up their hands, discouraged by the electioneering and paralysis in D.C. But thinking biblically means that we do not have the luxury of giving in to cynicism and despair. We are called to be salt and light, to act for the good of our neighbors, and to pray for our rulers. And in America,” he urged, “praying for our rulers included praying for wisdom for our fellow citizens. Americans choose our leaders, but less than half of eligible voters vote in midterm elections. Bible-believing Christians have an out-sized impact when they vote wisely.”

Speaker Johnson is also banking on reason and common sense to prevail. “You can trust the American people when they are given the facts. And [if] they’re informed, they will do the right thing. We’re still a center-right country,” he insists. “We’re still one nation under God — no matter [what] these crazy, radical, leftist, anti-God, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorism [people] say. This is still America. And I believe God’s not done with America yet. And people are going to rise up, do the right thing, elect the right people who love their country, and want to preserve it and continue to make it better. That is the challenge. That is the choice. That’s the election before us.”

The Trojan Horse, Or, Millions of Muslims in Our Midst

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

James Zumwalt sees the 4.45 million Muslims now in the U.S., or most of them, as collectively a Trojan Horse working to ensure that in our country, in Muhammad’s words, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” More on his cassandra cry can be found here: “A Greek Mythical Trojan Horse May Portend An Islamic Reality For America,” by James Zumwalt, American Thinker, August 29, 2026:

A product of Greek mythology, the Trojan War tale includes a great deception that ended it. After a ten-year siege of Troy, residents awoke to find a massive statue of a horse outside their city gates with the Greek army nowhere in sight. Assuming the horse was a gift offering to end the fighting, the Trojans brought it within their city walls, and later that night, Greek soldiers exited the statue via a trap door and opened the city gates to the rest of the waiting army.

In warfare, deception is the mother of invention—and the greatest opportunity for deception occurs when its target fails to even realize a war is in progress….

Muhammad declared in a famous hadith that “war is deception.”

Yet another harbinger of America’s Islamic future comes from Yasir Qadhi—a strong supporter of the CAIR gameplan.

Qadhi is an American Muslim scholar and theologian. But, more importantly, he is a radical Muslim who brazenly defended Iran while verbally attacking the U.S. and Israel. Calling for Islamic unity against non-Muslims, he has used a taxpayer-funded mosque in Texas—now linked to federal and state investigations—as a bloody pulpit for promoting sectarian incitement and foreign-aligned subversion. He recognizes that the Islamization of America is a long-term strategy mandating the use of demographics, mosques, and institutional infiltration (including into the FBI and CIA) to drive a national transition.

Yet, despite this, the results of a special election in California for the seat vacated by Democrat Eric Swalwell brought into Congress the first Afghan-American ever elected to the House—Muslim State Senator Aisha Wahab. While born in the U.S., her election again demonstrates tolerance for ethnic differences. But it also shows us the sword’s weak edge as Wahab is a political radical.

The victory in a special election, designed to fill the seat vacated by Eric Stallwell, of Aisha Wahab, a devout Muslim who celebrated her voters “seeing through the lies spread by AIPAC,” detests the Infidel West, and wants talks with the Taliban, is a result of ignorance on the part of the electorate, that simply fails to comprehend the full malignity of Islam.

Up and down the land, Muslims are making inroads, convincing many that any criticism of them, no matter how warranted, is merely that impermissible thing, “Islamophobia.” They have been fielding more than 600 candidates for political office at every level — local, state, and federal. The number of Muslims in the House is likely to triple after November’s election. Abdul el-Sayed may become the first Muslim Senator.

Muslims are also suddenly much more visible in the media, especially as journalists working for National Public Radio, who include reporters covering the Middle East, Hadeel Al-Shalchi, and Aya Batrawy, while Leila Fadel hosts Morning Edition. A single Jewish reporter, Daniel Estrin, reports from Israel for NPR; his view is distinctly left-wing and critical of Israel (and especially of “the settlers in the Occupied West Bank”). In addition, NPR has as a correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin, and as a digital presenter Dena Takruri.

Among other Muslim television and print journalists are Fareed Zakaria, who has his own show on CNN, Fareed Zakaria GPS, political commentator and defender of Islam Mehdi Hasan who, after being fired by NBC, in 2024 founded and launched Zeteo, an independent digital media company and Substack publication, where he serves as CEO and editor-in-chief. He also currently writes as a regular political columnist for the Guardian US. And there are dozens more of these Muslim journalists spreading their poison. Qatar-owned Al Jazeera has become a major media presence in America, as it has everywhere in the world. It is specially powerful on the internet, where its stories about the Middle East always come up first in internet searches.

The Muslim Trojan Horse in America turns out, on close inspection, to be “many steeds of war” — as called for in Qur’an 8:60. A whole stable-full, in fact.

Christian Lawmakers, Religious Leaders and Civic Leaders Urge Trump To Create Emergency Asylum For Canadian Jews

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

President Trump indicates that he could create a legal pathway for Jewish Canadians to MIGRATE to the U.S. who are facing antisemitism in Canada.

“Lawful, secure, and appropriately expedited pathways”

“Christian leaders urge Trump to create legal pathway for Jewish Canadians facing antisemitism”

This is how bad Islamic Jew hatred is in Canada. It presents an existential threat to Jews in Canada and everywhere Muslims are in large number.

Christian Lawmakers ask President Trump to grant Jewish Canadians refuge from antisemitism

A letter from Christian lawmakers in America said more than 2,000 Jewish Canadians have expressed interest in moving because of safety concerns.

By: Jerusalem Post, August 30, 2026:

A coalition of Christian lawmakers, religious leaders and civic figures urged President Donald Trump to establish an expedited legal pathway for Jewish Canadians seeking to relocate to the United States because of antisemitic persecution and threats to their safety.

The National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) sent the request to Trump on Thursday, asking his administration to use existing refugee, humanitarian, and visa authorities while maintaining US security and admissibility requirements.

The letter said more than 2,000 Jewish Canadians have expressed interest in moving because of safety concerns. It cited harassment, vandalism, intimidation, threats, and violence targeting Jewish schools, synagogues, businesses, institutions, and families since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.

NACL asked President Trump to direct the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to develop a process for Jewish Canadian nationals and immediate family members who face persecution or can credibly demonstrate fears based on their Jewish identity or faith.

Any program should retain identity, criminal history, medical and security screening, and protect family unity, the signatories said.

TERROR CRACKDOWN: Trump Admin Set to Target George Soros ‘Nonprofit’, Southern Poverty Law Center and CAIR in Major Tax Crackdown

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Enemies of the state. The prayers of the victims of these radical terror groups have been answered.

Trump admin set to target George Soros nonprofit, Southern Poverty Law Center and CAIR in major tax crackdown: sources

By James Franey, NY post, Aug. 27, 2026:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the IRS could revoke the tax-free status of left-wing nonprofits such as George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, three sources familiar with the matter have told The Post.

It is part of a Trump-backed crackdown on “bogus” charities, and Treasury officials are drawing up a sweeping audit of outfits deemed to be using and abusing Uncle Sam’s tax code, the three people briefed on the Treasury Department’s internal policy deliberations said.

Bessent’s inner circle is drafting a blueprint that could ultimately strip non-compliant organizations of their 501(c)(3) status, according to two of the people familiar with the plans. The reviews could result in massive back payments and civil penalties, the same sources said.

The initiative leans in part on a 2025 executive order signed by President Donald Trump targeting nonprofits operating with a “substantial illegal purpose,” paving the way for the IRS to issue fines or even strip the tax-exempt status of charities allegedly tied to political violence, protests or radical ideologies.

Officials have also scrutinized a number of anti-corporate and labor-aligned advocacy groups that could end up on the blacklist, including the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, the anti-Amazon Athena Coalition, left-leaning watchdog MediaJustice, and the Strategic Organizing Center alongside its parent union, the SEIU, according to the three insiders briefed on the matter.

One of the sources warned that Treasury Department officials were “like a dog with a bone” and reckoned that many of the groups and their donors could be “on borrowed time.”

“There’s a lot of internal pressure to get it done, but some people are still moving too slowly at the IRS,” the source said. “That is expected to change very soon.”

The aggressive crackdown is already facing fierce legal blowback. Left-leaning legal powerhouse Protect Democracy sued Treasury and the IRS earlier this year, accusing the administration of illegally weaponizing the tax code against its political opponents.

While there is intense internal pressure from some administration officials to get “a good chunk of the crackdown” over the line before the midterms, others have argued for delaying formal enforcement until later in the term to avoid triggering massive, protracted legal battles, the three sources said.

There is a fear that adding high-profile domestic political targets like the SPLC and Soros’ network will trigger a wave of lawsuits, potentially stalling any momentum against foreign terror-linked groups like CAIR, these people told The Post.

The Treasury Department declined multiple requests to comment, but Bessent confirmed last October on the “Charlie Kirk Show” that work on compiling the hit list had begun.

To help with the review of nonprofits, Bessent enlisted Tony Saffier, a former special operations veteran and AI executive recently tapped to spearhead the interagency task force.

Penalties under consideration range from corrective fines to the ultimate regulatory sanction: full revocation of tax-exempt status, which would force the nonprofits to pay the standard 21% federal corporate tax rate.

A Post analysis of the latest IRS filings for all three organizations shows they would have owed about $165 million in federal income tax for 2024 if taxed at that 21% rate.

Almost all of it comes from a single source: the Soros network accounts for $163.6 million of the total. The SPLC would owe roughly $354,000, and 17 CAIR chapters would owe about $860,000 between them. That combined total amounts to a mere rounding error for the US government’s coffers.

Alex Soros sits on celebrity row during the fourth quarter of the Detroit Pistons vs. New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.

The targets face unique controversies that the administration is leveraging to justify the crackdown.

Now chaired by George Soros’ 40-year-old son, Alexander, the Open Society Foundations funnels billions to NGOs pushing diversity initiatives, bankrolling climate-change lawsuits, and supporting undocumented migrants.

A spokesperson for the Soros nonprofit told The Post: “Threatening any nonprofit’s tax status for political reasons would be nothing more than an illegal attempt to target and stifle work that the administration disagrees with.”

Bessent is eyeing Soros’ charity despite famously spearheading global currency bets for the Hungarian-born billionaire—including a wildly lucrative wager against the British pound.

When Bessent stepped down as chief investment officer for Soros Fund Management in 2015, Soros staked his new firm with a cool $2 billion.

OSF’s beneficiaries include Black Lives Matter, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and United We Dream Action, a group that actively works to frustrate the deportation of illegal migrants.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is reeling from the recent federal indictment of its former intelligence director. While OSF and SPLC are being scrutinized under the president’s domestic executive order, the administration is treating CAIR strictly as a national security target.

Prosecutors allege the self-described anti-racism outfit secretly funneled donor funds to extremist informants, including an operative who allegedly helped organize the violent 2017 Charlottesville rally.

Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has long faced scrutiny over alleged foreign entanglements.

Federal prosecutors named the group as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial. CAIR adamantly denies any ties to illicit foreign funding or terror organizations.

Leftists Try to Change Their Language, but Not Their Policies

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Some progressive politicians have awoken to the fact that their far-left language is hurting them with voters, reports Axios. Terms like “birthing people” (women), “unhoused people” (homeless), “criminal justice-impacted individuals” (inmates), and “substance abuse disorder” (addiction) are just plain weird and make officials who use them seem out of touch. At a Michigan Democratic fundraising dinner in April, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) urged candidates present to “talk like a normal human.” That should be a low bar to clear.

Yet some left-wing activists and the politicians who need their endorsements go on endlessly about “allyship,” “people experiencing food insecurity,” “Latinx,” and “equity.”

Beshear is not the only Democrat to make this point. Senator Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) recently argued, “‘social equity’ — why do we say that? Why don’t we say, ‘We want you to have an even chance’?” Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel advised his party to “ignore the culture police.” Even California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) keeps urging Democrats to become more “culturally normal,” advice he could well afford to follow.

In fact, some Democrats have been pointing out the problem ever since their electoral loss. “Some words are just too Ivy League-tested terms,” Gallego complained in a May 2025 Washington Post article. The same piece quoted Beshear in harmony, “Democrats have begun to speak like professors and started using advocacy-speak. … It makes Democrats or candidates using this speech sounding like they’re not normal.”

In August 2025, the Democratic group Third Way published a memo to “All Who Wish to Stop Donald Trump and MAGA” to stop using several dozen ridiculous terms. “For a party that spends billions of dollars trying to find the perfect language to connect to voters, Democrats and their allies use an awful lot of words and phrases no ordinary person would ever dream of saying,” they said. “To please the few, we have alienated the many — especially on culture issues, where our language sounds superior, haughty and arrogant.”

Thus far, few Democrats have heeded the appeals of their fellow partisans to be normal. Days after the Third Way memo, the Democratic National Committee unanimously approved a resolution in support of DEI.

The bizarre vocabulary has even made its way out of rhetoric and into policy. Last year, the public library in Baton Rouge, La. fired a bi-vocational pastor who refused to use the preferred pronouns of a trans-identifying coworker. In June 2026, the New York legislature enacted a bill that did nothing but replace 22 instances of “father” and “mother” in family law with “gestating parent” or “non-gestating parent.”

And the hits keep coming. This year, Rep. Wesley Bell (D-Mo.) introduced a bill to replace the term “ex-felon” in law with “qualified criminal justice-impacted individual.” In January, Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) announced a joint resolution that recognized health systems who helped “birthing individuals” and “birthing people.” In May, Governor Newsom announced new apartment space in Los Angeles for “formerly unhoused people.”

As far-left candidates associated with the Democratic Socialists of America continue to steamroll their way through Democratic primaries, the party is likely to drift even further to the left.

A handful of self-aware leftists are right to observe the problem with their language. Successful politicians practice making their ideas sound normal and acceptable, not weird and extreme. By letting “‘advocacy speak’ seep into our Democratic language,” said Beshear, politicians on the Left “make it feel like we’re talking down to people, like we’re talking at them, instead of to them.”

But the weird language is a symptom of weird ideas. And politicians like Beshear are proposing a cosmetic change to their agenda, not a systemic one. “The idea [behind woke language] was, we reduce stigma,” he said. “But we don’t reduce stigma by changing words. We reduce stigma by changing parts.” To put it differently, Beshear will shed the woke words if it means getting to implement the woke ideas behind them.

If anything, the leftist push to revise its language is an exercise in insincerity. The Left wants to change what it says without changing what it means. It recognizes that its words are offensive and off-putting to Americans. Good. It must also recognize that its ideas are just as unacceptable. So, why does it continue to push them? And will Americans be hoodwinked?

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) used the terms “birthing individuals” and “birthing people” in a joint resolution. Only Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) used those terms in a press release announcing their joint resolution.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Starkest Midterm Choice of My Lifetime

Victor Davis Hanson: The Starkest Midterm Choice of My Lifetime

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal.

We often associate leftist movements, anarchists of the 19th century, Jacobins of the 18th century, Marxists, Bolsheviks, Symbionese Liberation [Army], the Weather Underground with violence.

And the argument that they use is, we are for mandated equality and fairness and helping the underprivileged, and therefore to achieve those noble ends, which were morally and intellectually superior to those on the conservative side, we’re allowed to use any means necessary. And any means necessary is what’s happening right now.

Hasan Piker is always in the news.

He’s the multimillionaire podcaster, second-generation Turkish immigrant, who just recently led a cheering crowd in a song, whipped up the crowd, mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He even said, Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk. He was whipping them up in a classical demagogic fashion, cheering and celebrating the horrific televised murder of an American activist.

Remember, he’s also told us that 9/11, we essentially deserved it. It was our fault, 9/11 was.

He’s not unusual right now on the Left. Angie Nixon is a radical socialist, and she won the Democratic primary Senate campaign, and she will be in the runoff for Florida’s junior senator. She said recently that ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, were slave catchers and that they were targeting black people, no different than people in the Confederacy, and that the U.S. government was trying to kill blacks.

She doesn’t understand that under the auspices of DEI, which continues affirmative action, that blacks have given preferential treatment based on past transgressions that the majority of the country felt needed to be addressed.

No one is trying to kill young black people, much less the government. If you look at the murder rates, the statistics make her completely unbelievable.

Almost 9 out of 10 murders by African Americans are committed by other African Americans. And when there are interracial violence, it’s six to 10 times more likely that an African American will harm, assault or kill a white person than vice versa. White people are underrepresented as assailants in hate crimes. black people are overrepresented.

I only bring it up just to refute the slur that she’s made against the immigration system and enforcement service. ICE deported people from over 180 countries of all colors, all religions.

Then we have another luminary in this new radical extremist movement, Abdul El-Sayed. He’s running now. He won the nomination in the Michigan senatorial race. He will be running against Mike Rogers for the Senate. He said—remember, he just—he said that before that he follows Sharia law. He was caught in a hot mic saying that we should not celebrate the death of the supreme leader, [Ali] Khamenei, in Iran.

Remember, he had just ordered 40,000 of his own people to be slaughtered, that were protesting. And he said, “My constituents wouldn’t like that.” In other words, his constituents, which he’s proud of, were on the side of the Iranian theocracy that for 50 years has been the chief sponsor of terror in the world.

When he tried to attack a fellow Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman, he said, ideally, you put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message. That’s almost a blatant call to kill him and then to use that violence to intimidate other people.

When there was an attack on a Jewish synagogue by a brother of a Hezbollah member, and he was in the United States, and he was asked to comment, what did he say? Hurt people. Deep breath. Hurt people. Justifying that.

We’ve had four occasions now when the Secret Service shot at potential and actual Trump assassins. We’ve had Hollywood stars. We’ve had people like Robert De Niro, Kathy Griffin, Shakespeare in the Park in New York, celebrity cooks, and Snoop Dogg.

They’ve said they’ve all tried to compete in imagining to us an audience through public media and social media whether they should kill Donald Trump, whether they should burn Donald Trump, whether they should stab Donald Trump, whether they could shoot Donald Trump, whether they could decapitate him, whether they could throw him over a cliff, whether they could blow him up.

This comes on the heels that for the last essentially nine years there’s been no contrition, no apologies for a series of events that almost wrecked the sense of law and order in this country and severely damaged the integrity of the government and was a challenge to the Constitution.

For three years, the FBI, a rogue agency under James Comey and then later Andrew McCabe, cooked up the Steele dossier, which was a complete fabrication, and tried to take out a Republican candidate for the presidency. Operation Crossfire Hurricane was all based on a lie.

We were told in 2020 that a laptop with incriminating evidence, which the FBI had in its possession and had verified it was Hunter [Biden] laptop’s possession, it was his property with all the incriminating information on it, was cooked up by the Russians. Fifty former CIA and intelligence authorities swore on the eve of the election that the Russians and Donald Trump were colluding. It was a complete lie. No one has ever apologized.

We had four prosecutors, Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Jack Smith. They all made up charges, and we know now that Alvin Bragg had to take a federal charge when he was a municipal prosecutor that the federal prosecutors thought was bogus.

Ms. James went after an old loan and said that he didn’t—he exaggerated his collateral when the bank that issued the loan said he didn’t.

Fani Willis, no need—she’s been so disgraced now. She’s been fined by the court. She made up most of the charges. She was essentially hiring her own paramour and then charging the state for their junkets.

Jack Smith, he tried to rush a federal indictment of Donald Trump on the Mar-a-Lago raid, and he was trying to get insurrection. That case was thrown out.

Not enough. They raided Mar-a-Lago, the private home of an ex-president. They said he had dozens of classified material. He had 11,000 documents, and all they could find under contention were 102 documents they claimed were classified. Then they scattered the documents on the ground and made it look as if Donald Trump was some type of criminal.

At the same time, Joe Biden had done the same thing for 30 years in four locations. No one said a word.

Over 20 states tried to take a Republican nominee off the ballot for the general election so the voters wouldn’t even have a chance.

I’m not even gonna get into the social media where the FBI was partnering with social media to squash stories they felt were prejudicial to Joe Biden.

What we’re witnessing is a revolutionary movement, as I said, and we have people who are celebrating the death of their opponents. They’re dreaming of how to kill their opponents. They’re praising people who murder. This is the starkest choice in November that we’ve had in a midterm election in my lifetime.

There is a vast gulf, a huge chasm between what the Democratic Socialists are advocating and what traditional conservatives are trying to maintain.

If they win, we will see the beginning of a destroyed border, and we will return to 12 million people within a four-year period crossing unaudited. We will see a war on fossil fuels, even as we were the greatest producer of gas and oil in history.

We will see biological men green-lighted to compete in female sports. Antisemitism will be the trademark and anti-hatred, not anti-Israelism, hatred of the only democracy in the Middle East.

We will see a full-fledged return of diversity, equity, inclusion, prejudice and bias.

What we’re talking about is a revolutionary group who often is telling us, “If you elect us, you will not recognize the United States as you’ve known it. We must destroy it and rebuild it along socialist and totalitarian designs.”

Remember that when you go in December, and vote for somebody who says, “We are not ashamed of what America is. We’re the greatest nation in the world, and we’re the greatest nation in the world because of our traditions, our Constitution, our protocols, and we have nothing to apologize for.”

We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of the Daily Signal.

Who is Bryan Ávila, Byron Donalds’ Lieutenant Governor Pick?

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Bryan Ávila seems like a smart choice by Byron Donald’s for his Lieutent Governor in the sunshine state.

Who is Bryan Ávila, Donalds’ lieutenant governor pick?

Bryan Ávila, a 42‑year‑old Republican state senator from Hialeah and Miami Springs, has been named by gubernatorial nominee Byron Donalds as his running mate for lieutenant governor in the 2026 Florida gubernatorial race

Background and Career

Ávila was born in Hialeah to Adrian and Rosa María Avila, who fled communist Cuba for the United States.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Miami and later master’s degrees in criminal justice and public administration from Florida International University.

He entered the Florida House of Representatives in 2014, serving as Speaker pro tempore and chairing tax and budget committees. In 2022, he was elected to the Florida Senate, where he currently chairs the Committee on Finance and Tax. His legislative record includes sponsoring the Stop W.O.K.E. Act, pushing for property‑tax relief, and supporting measures to protect utility rates from large data centers.

Military Service

Ávila is a captain in the Florida Army National Guard, with deployments for hurricane recovery, command of multiple units, and pandemic support operations. Donalds cited his military service as a key reason for selecting him, highlighting his record as a “warrior for the country and for conservative values”.

Political Alignment and Messaging

Donalds and Ávila frame their ticket as a defense of Florida’s conservative legacy, affordability for working families, and community safety. Ávila has emphasized his Cuban exile parents’ experience fleeing socialism, using it to contrast with Democratic nominee David Jolly’s running mate, Gwen Graham.

Ávila also supports Gov. Ron DeSantis’ agenda, including recent legislation to require large data centers to pay for their own energy consumption.

Role in the 2026 Race

As lieutenant governor, Ávila will campaign alongside Donalds in the November general election, aiming to keep Florida red and build on DeSantis’ conservative platform. His combination of legislative experience, military service, and Cuban exile heritage is intended to appeal to both traditional Republican voters and those in pro‑military and Cuban‑heritage communities.

Trump Admin to Rescind 200,000 Foreigners in the Largest Mass Visa Revocation Ever

Yes, this is what I voted for. This would be the largest visa mass revocation in US history.

Trump admin to target 200,000 foreigners in largest mass visa revocation ever: report

By Victor Nava, NY post, Aug. 25, 2026:

The Trump administration is reportedly readying to revoke the business and tourism visas of as many as 200,000 foreigners in what could be the largest single mass revocation of visas in US history.

The revocations will target the holders of B1 and B2 visas, issued between 2016 and 2026, who have sought or are currently seeking asylum, the Associated Press reported on Monday, citing State Department documents and US officials.

B1 visas are generally issued for business travelers, while B2 visas are typically given to tourists or foreigners visiting for family or traveling to receive medical care in the US.

“We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told the outlet.

Pigott declined to comment on the number of visas that might be revoked, describing the process as “ongoing,” “dynamic,” and one that will be done “on a rolling basis.”

Those who have their visas revoked will not necessarily be deported right away, US officials indicated, but they would immediately lose their status as business or tourism travelers.

The move, which is expected to face legal challenges, would be President Trump’s latest to tighten the US visa process.

The Trump administration has previously moved to investigate applicants’ social media histories, require bonds for the processing of visas and banned the issuance of visas to citizens of certain countries.

Since the start of Trump’s second term, the State Department has revoked about 175,000 visas for people convicted or accused of criminal activity or who have spoken out publicly against US policies.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau on Monday charged that foreign nationals have been using tourist and business visas as a way to get into the US to then apply for asylum, in an effort to remain in the country indefinitely.

“People in the US and all over the world are fed up with bogus asylum claims,” Landau wrote on X. “Asylum isn’t supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration law.”

B1 and B2 visa applicants must affirm that they will not apply for asylum while in the US and prove that they intend to return to their home countries under the current process.

The potential revocations also come after the Supreme Court ruled in June that the Trump administration cannot end birthright citizenship via executive order.

Since the ruling, the Trump administration has moved to crack down on so-called birth tourism.

Administration officials contend that foreign pregnant women have been obtaining tourist visas for the sole purpose of giving birth in the US so their children can obtain the benefits of birthright citizenship.

‘I Think We’re in a War’: Texas Pastors Gather for Training on Islamification Threat

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

A group with special operations and intelligence skills and filmmaker Chris Burgard teamed up on Saturday to teach pastors in East Texas how to respond to the rise of Islam in the Lone Star State.

The Allied Special Intelligence Group is an organization that uses its knowledge of special operations military skills, counterintelligence, and human intelligence to educate and train citizens on how to “legally and lawfully, delay, disrupt, dismantle, and remove Communists/Marxists and Terrorists networks from our communities in order to restore and protect our Constitutional Republic.”

Two of the group’s operatives, John Bennett, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former Oklahoma state representative, and Matt Shea, who served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army and is a conservative lawyer, pastor, and politician who served in the Washington House of Representatives from 2009 to 2021, took up the task of educating the Texas pastors about the threat of Islamification.

Bennett and Shea, both of whom have previously been deployed in the Middle East, were there at the invitation of Pine Baptist Church Pastor Ben Warrick. Warrick told the Daily Signal that he organized the training at his church because he wanted others in his community to be informed.

“Although we don’t have any mosques in Pittsburg or in Camp County, we have some in Mount Pleasant, that’s really close,” Warrick said. “And honestly, Dallas-Fort Worth, Plano, that area, that’s not far.”

“I want to be prepared,” Warrick told the Daily Signal.

“I think we’re in a war. It’s a battleground and I would like to be the tip of the spear and be able to do that strategically, but I’m more of a blunt force, so I’ve got some learning to do,” Warrick added.

The training began with a showing of Burgard’s film “Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas.”

The film argues that there is a coordinated effort to introduce Sharia law into American society, with Texas serving as the primary target. The film was used to introduce the pastors to what Islam is and why it is a threat to the state and the country.

Bennett and Shea’s presentation claimed that Islamists seek the destruction of Western civilization and that Sharia law is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution, including the First, Second, Fourth, Eighth, 13th, and 14th Amendments.

The pair said the threat is especially palpable in Texas because their research claims to have identified at least 314 mosques operating in Texas.

Bennett and Shea drew attention to a 1991 memorandum by the Muslim Brotherhood that uses the term “civilization jihad” to describe a strategy for advancing Islamist goals in the West.

The memorandum says this jihad has political, social, and religious dimensions and aims to infiltrate civic groups and other institutions like law enforcement.

Bennett and Shea said the church is the main target of Islamists.

“I think it’s really important to understand that the church has been the main target forever. It’s been the main target for 100 years for the communist movement, the last 50 for the Islamic movement,” Shea told the Daily Signal in an interview after the event. “The church is what conserves the values that have made this country great, and that’s why they want to attack it.”

Shea said the way they attack the church is to “undermine the Word of God, denigrate the supernatural aspect of Christianity, and then convince people that it was morally right to stay out of politics and not be involved in the political sphere.”

“They all say they deserve First Amendment rights, but what they follow is antithetical to our U.S. Constitution,” Bennett told the Daily Signal. “It literally violates our own Constitution.”

“A lot of Americans are confused. They think, ‘Well, the First Amendment is the freedom of religion,’ which it is, but they don’t understand what it really means,” Bennett continued. “If you go all the way back to our founding documents, George Mason, who is one of our Founding Fathers, argued and said, as they were crafting the First Amendment, we need freedom of religion, but he was only talking about the Christian religion, the different sects of Christian religion.”

During the presentation, Bennett pulled examples from key pre-Revolution documents, including excerpts from the Articles of Confederation of the United Colonies, the Mayflower Compact, and statements made by former elected officials in the 1600s.

He also referenced George Washington’s general orders at Valley Forge from 1778.

“While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion,” Washington wrote. “To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”

“One of the biggest questions I get all the time is, is Islam a religion,” Bennett told the Daily Signal in an interview following the presentation. “Islam itself says that it’s not a religion, it’s a complete way of life—social, military, political.”

This totalizing aspect of Islam, according to Bennett and Shea, is what has formed the “Red-Green Axis,” a term used by some political commentators to describe what they characterize as an alliance between communist or far-left groups, represented by “red,” and Islamist groups, represented by “green.” They claim this axis is opposed to national sovereignty and individual freedoms.

According to Shea, there are multiple radical groups operating within the Red-Green Axis, including the John Brown Gun Club, Antifa, Unity of Fields, Sunrise Movement, No Kings, and the Democratic Socialists of America.

The John Brown Gun Club, Antifa, Unity of Fields, Sunrise Movement, No Kings, and the Democratic Socialists of America did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

Retired Army Lt. Col. and former Republican candidate for Texas governor Pete “Doc” Chambers attended the East Texas event.

Chambers said the Islamic and Sharia problem is a “caliphate problem.”

“We have a system that’s coming into Texas, coming into the United States, that is trying to take over the governance of the United States,” Chambers said.

Chambers said he attended the event because he wants to know how to stop Islamism from taking over the state and the country.

“The main thing is that we need to see our leaders lead, and the lesser magistrates, our local level magistrates, follow,” Chambers said. “But if our magistrates, and if our upper level leaders don’t do it, it’s up to us.”

Chambers, who said he has worked in the intelligence field in Texas, said there are about 400 mosques in Texas, which he referred to as “lily pads.” He said most people view them as “benign.”

“I’ve spent a lot of time downrange. I know what those places were, and those were forward operating bases for a lot of bad stuff, just to keep it simple,” Chambers explained.

Chambers reiterated that Texas is the number one enemy to the Islamic caliphate.

“A caliphate means to take over the world, but they’re doing it in Texas, and Texas is the number one enemy to them; the number one target for the caliphate,” Chambers said. “Because if you take down Texas, the rest of the country goes.”

Thomas Sowell on the Perils of Mass Migration

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Bill Muehlenberg recently posted at his site some thoughts — his own and those of the economist Thomas Sowell — on immigration. They are worth disseminating more widely.

Thomas Sowell on the good and bad of international migration:

In the West much is said about immigration, with most governments singing the praises of mass migration and the supposed great good of flooding a host culture with people from any and every culture. The assumption is that such an influx of migrants – including from developing nations – can only be a net plus with an overwhelmingly positive outcome for the West.

While the left thinks all migrants are good migrants and it does not matter how they arrive, and with no questions asked, most ordinary people know this is madness. A normal homeowner wants to make sure his family is safe, so he carefully monitors and regulates who can enter.

As Senator John N. Kennedy (R – Louisiana) put it: “Most Americans lock their front door at night. They don’t do that because they hate everybody on the outside. They lock their front door at night because they love the people on the inside, and they wanna know who’s going in and out of their home.”…

Migrants differ not only in their respective points of origin and destination, and in the skills they bring, they differ also in their reasons for migrating and in such demographic characteristics as age distribution. And sex ratios. Some groups acquire the culture of new lands rapidly, while others cling to their ancestral ways for generations or, in some cases, centuries…. (pp. 2-3)

And some migrants arrive with attitudes that make it impossible for them to assimilate. Muslims are the chief example of this. The Qur’an tells them that they, the Muslims, are “the best of peoples,” while the non-Muslims among whom they now live are “the most vile of created beings.” Given that, why would Muslims want to become part of a society created by the “most vile of created beings”? And Muslims know further that, as Muhammad famously declared, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” That belief bodes ill for assimilation.

Sowell might have mentioned the Muslim grooming gangs in the UK, whose victims were girls from vulnerable backgrounds who were seduced, raped, in some cases hooked on drugs, and passed around like confetti for the sexual pleasure of dozens, or in some cases hundreds of Muslims. For a long time, the police did little to stop the malefactors, so terrified were they of being accused of “racism” and “Islamophobia.” Tens of thousands of white English girls had their lives ruined as a result.

Thomas Sowell, going strong at 95, tells us some home truths about immigration: not all migrant groups are the same; Muslims have been unable and unwilling to assimilate into the European countries; their presence undermines social cohesion; the millions of Muslims now living in Europe have made life more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous for the indigenous non-Muslims than would be the case without those millions of Muslim migrants. America must learn from Europe’s unhappy experience with mass migration by Muslims, and enforce a restrictive policy based on that monitory lesson.

There is now a popular uprising in Europe, a demand that the European Union call a halt to “non-Western migration.” The European Commission has now become an enemy of Europe. It has refused to register the “Save Europe Act,” which is an attempt, supported so far by 580,000 citizens of Europe, to end migration from “non-Western countries” — which is meant, everyone understands, to prevent more Muslims from entering Europe. The bureaucrats in Brussels have rejected the effort. They claim that such a policy would constitute discrimination based on “race” or “ethnicity.” They are wrong. Islam is not a race, nor an ethnicity, but an ideology inimical to Western values. Now, as one of the organizers of this effort, Eva Vlaardingerbroek, has made clear, they will continue to raise hell — “see you in court” — with ever-swelling numbers of signatories to their petition. Europeans want to preserve Europe from those who would transform it. What is wrong with that? For European bureaucrats, everything. They would do well to heed the wise and well-considered warnings of Thomas Sowell. But there is no chance that they will do so.
