President Trump: All U.S. States Should Go to Paper Ballots, Same-Day in-Person Voting, Voter ID

Like most countries ……

But make no mistake, the democrats will declare civil war if we try to hold free and fair elections.

Donald Trump: All U.S. States Should Go to Paper Ballots, Same-Day in-Person Voting, Voter ID

By: Matthew Boyle, Breitbart, 2 Sep 2021:BEDMINSTER, New Jersey — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News that all states should ditch voting machines and return solely to paper ballots, in addition to eliminating early voting and instituting voter ID requirements coast to coast. Asked during a nearly two-hour interview at his golf club last week what reforms he thinks could fix the system and restore confidence in American elections, Trump listed several things he hopes states will implement to reform the system

“Voter ID is very important,” Trump told Breitbart News. “Frankly, going to paper ballots is better than anything you can do — paper ballots. Going to paper ballots. You know, Canada uses paper ballots. I think going to paper ballots would be the best thing if you want to have accurate elections. Countries that do paper ballots — solidly watched paper ballots — those are the ones that work. And stop the mail-in ballots unless it’s for military and overseas or very sick people, people that just can’t vote — and they have to have some kind of a real excuse. I think paper ballots, same-day voting would be great. Those things, you’d straighten out your elections.”

Canada does use paper ballots. In fact, late last year in November 2020, Canadian election officials made that clear in a public statement:

Trump also said during the interview he is encouraged by some actions taken at the grassroots level to reform elections across the country, particularly in Texas where the state legislature just cleared final hurdles to get a bill through to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) who is expected to sign it soon. Trump, though, had harsh words for Georgia — the state’s new law has been viciously criticized by the left, but Trump thinks it does not go far enough. He said Gov. Brian Kemp (R) weakened the proposal.

“Georgia’s new law is not strong,” Trump said. “Texas’s new law is strong. Georgia’s new law is not strong because the governor of Georgia didn’t want it to be strong. It’s better than it was, but it’s not strong.”

Trump also said that Republicans need to focus not just on the future — 2022, 2024, and beyond — but also on exposing what he says happened last year.

“The single biggest topic for the Republican Party is the voter fraud of 2020 — not 2022, not 2024,” Trump said. “You’ll never get to 2024, you’ll never get to 2022.”

He pointed to various audits from around the country, like in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania as important. But he said the establishment media ignoring voter fraud and election issues make it harder to get his side of the story out.

“Here’s the question. This is a new phenomena. This is what happens with Communism. You can’t have a scandal if nobody writes about it.” Trump said, “Look at what they’re finding in Georgia. Look at what they’re finding in Arizona. I mean, Arizona they want to recheck and double-check — people can’t even believe. Look, that’s being done by the Senate, not by me. But people can’t believe the kinds of numbers coming out. They’re massive. Now, you’re starting in Wisconsin. Now, Pennsylvania is moving because they said, ‘wait a minute.’”

Trump is also watching what is coming out from broader national pushes to investigate what happened last year. Asked about a recent report on a forthcoming investigation from True the Vote — one such election integrity group — that claims it has obtained cell phone GPS ping data from hundreds of alleged “ballot traffickers” who allegedly went to multiple ballot drop boxes in key cities in a number of these swing states multiple times, Trump said he thinks it is a “big deal.”

“This is a big deal. This is a big deal. I know — I’ve been hearing about it,” Trump said of True the Vote’s forthcoming investigation.

The group says it has obtained surveillance video from ballot drop boxes in Georgia to back up its case and those videos will be coming out soon, as Breitbart News has recently reported.

Trump also in the interview cited multiple recent reports from Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) president and general counsel J. Christian Adams, who, using Election Assistance Commission (EAC) government data, reports that 15 million mail ballots nationwide were unaccounted for in the 2020 election.

Trump argued that the sheer volume of the questionable outcome of those ballots Adams discovered using government data is well over the margins of the outcome of the election between him and Biden. “That’s the election right there,” Trump said.

Adams, who joined Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel after the Trump interview this past weekend to explain his report, said 2020 was “the worst way to run an [American] election.”

“This is not data that we are speculating about,” Adams said. “This is federal data, and that’s where we get the 15 million number. Fifteen million ballots were sent in the mail last year that never ever came back and were counted.”

Ken Blackwell, a longtime conservative activist and former mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio, who serves on the board of Adams’s group PILF and also as the chairman of the America First Public Policy Institute’s Center for Election Integrity, told Breitbart News the two groups and others are digging into what happened in 2020.

“In combination, we have shined a light into the dark corners of the 2020 election, and we are going to continue to beat the drum for transparency. And we are going to litigate, and we have a track record of winning,” Blackwell said.

“There were disturbing patterns of irregularities and constitutional transgressions that took place in the 2020 election,” Blackwell added in a phone interview. “One of the things that makes you go ‘huh?’ is that President Trump was the first president to get 11 million more votes in his reelection effort than his first election, and he lost. Joe Biden won the election with a record low percentage of counties in which he won. The voting public is demanding transparency and a deep dive. While there is no constitutional provision that would boot Joe Biden out of office, there is sufficient evidence that a federalized system which is being proposed by the Democrats and the radical left would undermine states’ rights and common-sense practices that tighten the chain of custody of ballots and establish verification systems that make it clear that people are who they purport to be.”

King County Election workers collect ballots from a drop box in the Washington State primary, Tuesday, March 10, 2020 in Seattle. Washington is a vote by mail state.

Blackwell also serves as the co-chair of the bipartisan International Foundation for Electoral Systems, which he said gives him unique insight into elections worldwide. “There is not another country in the world that uses mail-in ballots on the scale we did in 2020,” Blackwell said. “To top it off, unlike a couple states in the country that use primarily mail-in ballots, most states don’t have the competency to do it without problems.”

Blackwell said in addition to the fact no other countries use mail-in ballots to the extent the United States did in 2020, “most advise against it.”

“There is a reason why you have an election day and that is because you have people voting at this same time at the precinct level and that helps with the verification process,” Blackwell said. “The further we get from voting on the same day, the more risk we take on the chain of custody and verification processes. It’s consistent with balloting all over the globe. The same Biden clown car that gave us the Afghanistan mess wants to take control of our elections. That’s what they want to do with federalizing elections.”

Colonel in 82nd Airborne Division Wrote in Frantic Leaked Texts: “We Are F*cking Abandoning American Citizens”

National strike!

Seriously, Americans who stand by are just as culpable.


READ THE TEXTS BY CLICKING HERE.


“We are fucking abandoning American citizens,” said an Army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division

By Cristina Laila, Gateway Pundit, September 1, 2021:

Joe Biden on Tuesday said his botched withdrawal which resulted in the deaths of 13 US service members and hundreds, if not thousands of stranded Americans was an “extraordinary success.”

However, text messages between US military commanders and private citizens paint a different picture.

“We are fucking abandoning American citizens,” said an Army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division in secret text messages leaked to Just the News:

The text messages and emails were provided to Just the News by Michael Yon, a former Special Forces soldier and war correspondent who was among the private citizens working with private networks and the military to rescue stranded Americans.

Yon told Just the News that a group of Americans were abandoned at the Kabul airport, pleading for help as military officials told them they were finished with evacuations. “We had them out there waving their passport screaming, ‘I’m American,’” Yon said Tuesday while appearing on the John Solomon Reports podcast. -Just The News

“People were turned away from the gate by our own Army,” Yon said.

“You guys left American citizens at the gate of the Kabul airport,” Yon wrote Tuesday to the commander. “Three empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them. You and I talked on the phone. I told you where they were. Gave you their passport images. And my email and phone number. And you left them behind.”

He added: “Great job saving yourselves. Probably get a lot of medals.”

At Least 29 Sacramento School Children Abandoned in Afghanistan, Among Thousands Still Stranded

What happened to “no child left behind”?

The Democrat party is evil.

29 Sacramento students stuck in Afghanistan, school district says

he last U.S. flight out of Kabul took off Monday, capping a bloody and chaotic end to America’s longest war.

By: NBC News,  

More than two dozen students from the Sacramento, California, area remain in Afghanistan after the U.S. evacuation ended earlier this week, according to San Juan Unified School District.

“We can confirm that we currently have 29 students, from 19 families, in Afghanistan,” Raj Rai, director of communication for the school district, said Tuesday, responding on behalf of Superintendent Kent Kern. “We stand ready to support these students and families in whatever way that we can.”

Earlier Tuesday, the total number of students from San Juan Unified School District still in Afghanistan was thought to be 32, but the district since learned that three students had been evacuated, he said.

The Sacramento area has one of the largest populations of Afghan immigrants in the U.S.

The last U.S. flight out of Kabul took off a minute before midnight local time Monday (3:29 p.m. ET), capping a bloody and chaotic end to America’s longest war and opening a new, uncertain chapter for Afghanistan.

Since July, the U.S. has helped to airlift more than 120,000 people out of Afghanistan, including roughly 5,500 Americans. President Joe Biden said Tuesday that roughly 100 to 200 Americans still remained in Afghanistan who have “some intention to leave,” many of whom are dual citizens.

While tens of thousands of evacuees made it out as the U.S. military withdrew, initial figures suggest that only around 8,500 of those who left in recent months were Afghans, according to numbers released by the Biden administration and estimates from advocates.

It was not clear if the students from the Sacramento area were U.S. citizens.

A spokesperson for the State Department said they could not comment on specific cases, but officials were continuing to assist U.S. citizens and their families in Afghanistan. The department was also continuing efforts to help lawful permanent residents, as well as many Afghans who “stood with us over the years” and are seeking to leave Afghanistan, the spokesperson said.

The Sacramento Bee reported that at an information session at a local high school last week, students and parents asked questions about how to get their loved ones out of Afghanistan. Humaira Hanif, 21, wiped away tears as she asked how to bring her mother to the U.S., the paper reported.

Travis Horne, communications director for Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., said his office was in close contact with San Juan Unified School District and had sent the information of students stuck in Afghanistan to the Department of Defense and the State Department.

“We are pushing the DOD and State for an update,” he said.

NBC San Diego station KNSD reported Tuesday that a San Diego-area family, including three students who go to schools in Cajon Valley Union School District, were also not able to make it out of the country. It was not immediately clear how many other U.S. school districts were missing students because they were unable to get out of Afghanistan.

The U.S. war in Afghanistan drew to a close Monday nearly 20 years after America invaded in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, toppling the Taliban government.

After a heavy cost in lives and a price tag of $2.3 trillion, the Taliban are back in power having swept aside the U.S.-backed government in a lightning-quick offensive that took Afghans and the West by surprise.

The U.S. hopes Americans and Afghans will be able to leave once Kabul airport is back up and running, but it remains unclear how long that will take.

ARIZONA: Muslim Family Tries to Kidnap Woman With Non-Muslim Boyfriend for Honor Killing

My latest in PJ Media:

Amid all the discussion about the resettlement of Afghan refugees in the United States, few are focusing on the question of the compatibility of their societal mores with American culture. At this late date, we all know that such inquiries are “Islamophobic.” However, a recent incident in Arizona suggests some of the difficulties that could arise among the new arrivals. Fox 10 Phoenix reported Saturday that “police arrested six members of a Phoenix-area family they say targeted a 20-year-old relative and tried to kidnap her because they disapprove of her boyfriend, who doesn’t share their Muslim faith.” This family is Iraqi, but the Afghan refugees share the same religion, and many have the same ideas about women, marriage, and the permissibility of honor killing.

Fox reported that “the woman, who is 20 weeks pregnant, told police she was afraid her relatives will kill her because they believe she has brought dishonor to the family.” Arizona police “believe the family wanted to send the victim back to Iraq,” where she would face almost certain death. Court records “describe accusations of threats and assaults, most recently at a medical building in Avondale last week. Police said the relatives took the woman’s cell phone and purse, along with her boyfriend’s gun, during a ‘violent assault.’ The woman grabbed onto a responding officer, pleading ‘please, don’t let them take me.’”

This woman’s father, mother, three brothers and her sister, who are all “described as traditional Muslims,” were arrested. The entire family has “a history of harassment against the victim because of her relationship with a boyfriend, who is described as being of another religious faith.” Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, although Muslim men may marry Jewish or Christian women; the idea is that the Islamic community is always growing at the expense of non-Muslim communities. For appearing to be on the path toward breaking this rule, the woman says that her family members tried to kill both her and her boyfriend.

The woman and her boyfriend moved away from the Phoenix area, but then the threatening phone calls began. One brother left this message: “This is Ali, her brother. If you don’t bring my sister back, I’m going to kidnap your sister. I’m not scared of your American laws.” Ali was relentless, declaring that “he would still find the victim even of he was in prison, and the victim was 80 years old.” It is not surprising in light of all this that the woman told police that she was afraid she was going to be killed because she had “dishonored the family.”

There is more. Read the rest here.

GOP-Controlled Florida Legislature Plans Pro-Life Bill After ‘Killing’ It Twice

The RINOs in Senate and House especially the leadership twice killed this heartbeat bill in the past – maybe they’ve finally woken up that this is an important issue for true constitutional conservatives and pro-life voters.

GOP-Controlled Florida Legislature Plans to Consider Pro-Life Measures Similar to Texas After ‘Killing’ Bill Twice

The Republican-controlled Florida legislature plans to consider a pro-life bill similar to Texas’ heartbeat legislation after “killing” the initiative twice before, according to members of the state legislature.

“There is no question” the Florida legislature will take up the heartbeat bill, Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson (R) told WFLA NBC. “It’s something we’re already working on.”

Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R), however, has not committed to the plan, issuing a statement Thursday that only suggested “killing an innocent human being with a beating heart is wrong.”

“The Florida House will continue the fight,” he simply said.

Ashli Babbitt Was Murdered by the Capitol Police

In the wake of the January 6th event at the US Capitol, I want everyone to be clear on where I stand.

First I am former military and retired LEO so I am NOT anti cop or Law Enforcement in any way. However I like justice. It is the corner stone of our Constitutional Republic.

With all the cases in the last 13 years since that treasonous Hussein Obama ratcheted up the evil rhetoric on racial hatred and supposed racism of white police officers against people of color, this story line has only gone in one direction. White police shootings/uses of force on black citizens or those of color and minorities. The white supremacy and white supremists were apparently prevalent in every force in every state of the union and it ran rampant. What a cold faced lie.

Now, my experience after 18 years in law enforcement was that I never witnessed any race issues from white officers against anyone. Nobody put on the uniform and strapped his or her duty belt on with the intention of beating up or killing some human being of color. However, racism from black officers towards their white brothers in uniform and people they came in contact with, were definitely far more obvious. Not everywhere but certainly noticeable. At times almost intolerable but somehow they always got away with it as there seems to be a thought pattern among senior officers that only white people can be racist. They were too scared to run any complaints from white officers against black officers up the chain of command. I know this from personal experience where a blatant act of racism was committed against me with obvious unfounded lies, but it went nowhere however I was under the magnifying glass for a long time.

The one case that bothers me is the murder – yes, murder of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed, white, blond, slight of build, ( 5’8”and under 140lbs ) airforce veteran ( Babbitt served two tours in Afghanistan and Iraq before later deployments with the National Guard to Kuwait and Qatar ) who was shot by a so-called and for a long time unidentifiable Capitol Police Officer. This lady did not present a clear or present threat to the lives of supposedly well trained and armed police officers. Those who are armed with and trained in the use of less lethal force and weaponry like tasers etc. Those trained in defensive tactics that should have enabled the shooter to take her to the ground. Those officers with bullet proof armor or at least stab proof armor shouldn’t have been in fear of their lives from this small unarmed lady.

For you all here is the name of the Black Capitol Police Officer that murdered Ashli Babbitt.

Lt. Michael L. Byrd.

I gave it to you shortly after January 6th. I want you all to remember it. He has since had interviews on “friendly to him” TV stations where he gives his opinion.

America. He is full of crap. I still say he had no reason to fire a lethal round. His opinion is not questioned by the investigators into the shooting. His opinion seems to be all that matters to the so called investigators. In my opinion he is in the same league as Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson who hid while 17 kids were killed by Nikolas Cruz in a school where he was a resource officer.

They are both cowards. Period. Both a total disgrace to the badge and the job. Both Oath Breakers.

Lt. Byrd is not a small man. Anything but. Powerfully built would appear to be an understatement. Certainly in comparison with the lady he shot due to his being in fear of his life or some other ridiculous thing.

He shot and killed Ashli for no good reason. Maybe he was scared! If so he is in the wrong job and most certainly the wrong rank.

After a top secret review he has been fully exonerated in the shooting death of Ashli. His name was supposed to be kept secret. Not from me. I gave it to you within 48 hours of her murder. Was that because he was a black police officer shooting a white victim? We all know if the colors had been reversed the white officer’s personnel file, full name and home address would have been published within an hour or two of the shooting. He would have been found guilty by the court of public opinion orchestrated by the MSM long before the investigation.

Following the shooting, Byrd’s Internet footprint was scrubbed, including his social media and personal photos. Screw that. When a white officer is accused, tried and convicted in the court of public opinion within minutes after the event his name, address and those of his family, plus his service record is known by everyone. He or she becomes a target as do their homes and the safety of the families. No presumption of innocence is allowed to those officers. No due process. Nothing. Because of color. Racism pushed by the leftist democrats.

But they think covering up this bad shooting is acceptable.

Wrong!

America. It is not. It was in my mind a bad shoot right after it happened from an ill trained and/or cowardly police officer who probably should never have been a Lieutenant or commander of the House Chamber Section of the Capitol Police.

There seems to be one law for white police officers and conservatives and one for black police officers and libtard Democrats. When progressive woke radicals stormed into the state capitols of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Georgia none of them were shot. When left-wing protesters tried breaking down the door of the Supreme Court of the United States while Bret Kavanaugh was sworn in, no one was shot. No patriots at the Capitol building were armed, especially Ashli Babbitt.

Here is one example that could be ascertained of Lt. Michael L. Byrds police record. It is troubling. In 2019, Byrd was investigated for leaving his service weapon laying unattended in a Capitol bathroom. The firearm was Byrd’s service Glock 22, the same style weapon that was reportedly used to assassinate Ashli Babbitt. I guess he felt lighter after he relieved himself and didn’t notice the 34.39 oz weight of a fully loaded Glock 22. He apparently told his fellow officers nothing would happen to him and he was right. He was back at work within a few days. No punishment. No demotion. No loss of pay. Nothing. Like it never happened.

America. The Biden fix is in. Watch what happens, this murdering useless cowardly police lieutenant will probably be a captain soon or better. Maybe even skip a few ranks. Why not? He must be a liberal darling having shot and killed a white supremist Trump supporter!!

The doors are closed around him. No freedom of information requests on him are honored or the transcripts of the hearings into his negligence.

There you have it. Just plain speaking. My opinion. Hopefully all yours. There is no expiration on filing charges for murder so maybe, one say, a GOP controlled house may re- investigate this killing and charge Lt Byrd with murder. If guilty he must lose all benefits and pension rights. He should be doing time.

The mass hypocrisy in this case is wrong. It is not justice. It will never be justice until an impartial and independent investigation is carried out.

Soros Gives Another $500K to Help CA Gov. Newsom Fight Recall

According to the California Secretary of State’s office, billionaire leftist financier George Soros has given another $500,000 to Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s campaign to stop the California recall, bringing his total contribution to Newsom to $1 million.

Soros reportedly made three separate, large contributions: a $250,000 donation in June to a committee called “Stop the Republican Recall of Gavin Newsom”; another $250,000 donation in early August; and the most recent donation of $500,000 just before the end of August.

Major Democratic donors like Soros are pouring cash into the battle to keep Newsom in office, as he faces an increasingly strong challenge from conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, who leads polls to replace him. Newsom’s top donor remains Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings.

Soros’ deep pockets have steered countless elections and judicial appointments radically leftward in his attempt to almost single-handedly reorient the Western world’s political landscape to align with his socialist, globalist vision.

Committing $220 Million to “Racial Justice” Causes

On July 13, 2020, OSF, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and its allies, pledged to donate $220 million into initiatives designed to help “build power in Black communities, promote bold new anti-racist policies in U.S. cities, and help first-time activists stay engaged.” The pledge earmarked $150 million in five-year grants for black-led “racial justice” organizations, and $70 million for a range of initiatives such as helping city governments reform policing and criminal justice by implementing a new approach to public safety that includes “moving beyond the culture of criminalization and incarceration.” “This is the time for urgent and bold action to address racial injustice in America,” said OSF deputy chair Alex Soros, George Soros’s son. “These investments will empower proven leaders in the Black community to reimagine policing, end mass incarceration, and eliminate the barriers to opportunity that have been the source of inequity for too long.” Tom Perriello, executive director of Open Society-U.S., said: “The success of this movement, the largest in U.S. history, will be measured over years, not weeks, and we cannot say that Black lives matter and not make a multi-year commitment to a strategy set by and centering Black leaders and organizations who changed America’s sense of what is possible.”

Reflecting on Kabul

Today’s blog is written by Marine Lt. Col. James Zumwalt. The foreword by a friend of his. I will as always attach the links to the original articles etc. Please read, like, share using this blog and feel free to comment.


Why Joe Biden is not my president

How many of you believe that the debacle in Afghanistan is due to incompetence? I have been doing a lot of reflecting on that issue lately and I have come to believe it’s intentional. It fits perfectly into Beijing Biden’s past record of universally trashing everything good about America.

It grieves me deeply to see Marines (and Americans) being set up like ducks in that cesspool called Kabul. Marines don’t mind getting shot at if they are given a fighting chance to survive. But Sleepy Joe restricted their movement to the middle of that hellhole, surrounded by the enemy, which makes the circumstance akin to the last stand at the Alamo. Hello! no one possessing even the slightest of good intentions could have done such a thing without knowing it would not end well. I’m left with no other conclusion than that it was an intentional, deliberate act of manslaughter most foul.

Many moons ago I served with a guy who became one of my closest friends in the Corps. He and I entered service about the same time. I went directly to the Quantico Basic School and he started out in the Naval Academy. I suppose going Navy was because of tradition since that was where his dad had started out in the Navy. However, upon graduating from the Academy, he immediately transferred over to the Marine Corps. His name is James Zumwalt (Zummy) and he and I would frequently spend time together exchanging views on a wide variety of topics over a beer. Our last tour before both of us got out was spent together teaching at the MC Quantico Basic School.

Here Zummy writes on the Kabul fiasco where he lays it all on the line with regard to Beijing Biden.

While we live in a time when many Americans will not admit it, I will: I love my country. Through good times and bad, good presidencies and bad, that love has never diminished. One generation of family member after another – from Jacob Zumwalt who served during the American Revolution to my son’s 21st century service in Iraq as a bomb technician – attests to this love by voluntarily serving in uniform.

As a veteran who served for over a quarter of a century, I never thought I would say this about a commander in chief, but the terrorist bombing at the Kabul airport that claimed 40 lives, including at least 13 of our brave warriors, leaves me no choice. It is love of country and all those serving to protect her who have needlessly, callously and intentionally been put in harm’s way with no rational basis for doing so that forces me now to declare: “Mr. Biden, you are not my president.”

I do this with deep concerns. Every president before Biden making a bad decision did it with the same love of country many of us harbor. But Biden’s outrageous actions, both in opening up our borders and rushing to withdraw from Afghanistan, is senselessly claiming American lives.

While the lives of all 40 victims claimed by suicide bombers is tragic, as a veteran my heart went out especially to the soldiers and Marines lost. Many had spent months in harm’s way and were undoubtedly excited to know, despite the chaotic withdrawal Biden ordered, they would soon be back with loved ones. Yet, in a split second, that all changed specifically because Biden had inexcusably ignored the advice of much more experienced military experts.

Based on a political career lasting almost half a century, Biden, allegedly, was more experienced and better qualified for the Oval Office than some of his Democratic Party presidential predecessors. Governors Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton lacked the national and international experience that senator and Vice President Biden had before becoming president. The danger of inexperienced governors taking the national reigns of power became evident as Carter dragged us through the Iran hostage crisis and Clinton did the same with his numerous sex scandals. Yet, only seven months into what, hopefully, is only a single presidential term, Biden makes Carter and Clinton look like boy scouts.

As the National Endowment for the Humanities makes clear, “As a nation, we place no greater responsibility on any one individual than we do on the president.” He sits atop a pyramid of governmental and military leaders who he can readily access in making decisions that not only impact upon American lives but upon lives anywhere around the world depending upon the situation.

Of all the powers and responsibilities the president has, the most difficult has to be the role of commander in chief. As such, he is faced with the awesome responsibility of deciding whether young men and women are to be put in harm’s way. While the overriding weight of that decision must rest on the merits of a particular threat and not on the dangers to which those young people will be exposed, the full trust of the military is put into the hands of a man whom the American voters believe will honor that trust.

While our service members are prepared to answer a president’s call to action, there can be little doubt a greater comfort level exists among them when a president himself has served in combat and better understands a decision to use force. To date, of our 46 presidents, 29 had some form of military service, although not all combat-related.

Biden was eligible to serve in the military at the time the Vietnam war was raging but did not. While attending the University of Delaware as an undergraduate and Syracuse University as a law student, he received five student deferments. An April 1968 physical examination classified him as I-Y, meaning he could only be drafted in case of a national emergency. Reportedly, he was “disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager.” Interestingly, his asthma kept him out of a military uniform but not out of a football uniform as he was a star high school player. Thus, one unwilling to place himself at risk as a young man today willingly puts the lives of other young people at risk.

From a service person’s perspective, when Biden ran for president in 2020, the fact he had no military service, while a negative, was insufficient reason, alone, not to vote for him. However, sufficient reason not to cast a Biden vote was an observation shared by one who served as secretary of defense while Biden was vice president. In his memoir, Robert Gates wrote that Biden had “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” It was a damning claim from one who had observed Biden in action.

But having failed in earlier presidential campaigns, Biden was eager to top his political career with a win, despite lacking the “right stuff” to serve in that capacity. And, just like repeatedly telling lies about himself – causing him to end one presidential bid – failed to bother him, neither did any worries America would have a president, making decisions impacting upon the lives of our military, who had a lengthy track record for wrong decisions. However, holding the office of president was always of greater import to Biden than the consequences America might face due to his incompetent leadership. It did not take long for that incompetence to manifest itself.

While the illegal-immigrant tsunami sweeping into America due to Biden’s open borders policy creates another set of problems with which America will have to deal for years, he also proved Gates right by ordering an Afghanistan withdrawal dictated by a time table rather than the situation on the ground.

The ensuing chaos has triggered a chain of deaths. It commenced with Afghans fallingfrom the sky, no longer able to hold on to the under-carriage of an airborne aircraft departing Kabul airport for freedom. When queried about this during an interview, Biden fumed, dismissing it as past news. While terrorists of various ilks now roam Kabul due to Biden’s haphazardly rushed withdrawal, Biden promises revenge against ISIS for the Kabul bombings – a weak threat coming from a spineless leader.

Additionally, I am disturbed that, after Biden rejected the advice of senior military leaders, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the Aug. 31 date not be controlling to ensure a responsible withdrawal, those leaders then failed to resign en masse. Even Biden’s State Department was concerned about Afghanistan’s quick collapse. Resignation was necessary to underscore that Biden’s senseless decision-making resulted in the second-highest death toll for any single day of the 20-year war and the first casualties since February 2020.

Biden need take no further action to demonstrate the fact protecting American citizens and our military from danger is not his priority. Because he rejects this responsibility, evidenced by a disgraceful withdrawal that leaves an enemy behind that is stronger than ever before while subjecting our warriors to greater risk both now and in the future, Biden commits a dereliction of duty for which I no longer consider him my president.

PODCAST: How Islam Defeated the Kafirs in Afghanistan

Our political and military leaders refuse to learn the language and ideology of Islamic war doctrine. While Islam fights an enemy they know, we insist that Muslims are just like us, only culturally different, and we must respect those differences.

We believe that the normal relationship between nations is peaceful; Islam believes the natural state between Islam and Kafirs is war that will only end when all the world is ruled by Sharia.

Muslims have Allah on their side and jihad is fighting in Allah’s cause. The Sunna of Mohammed and the Koran lay out the perfect war doctrine.

And until we understand this war doctrine and know who our enemy is, we will always be defeated.

DHS’s E-Verify Authorizes Thousands of Illegal Immigrants to Work in U.S.

The government’s pricey system to verify that employees are authorized to work legally in the U.S. is somewhat of a joke that has approved thousands of illegal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of foreigners without using its own photo-matching process to confirm identities. Additionally, the system, which is operated by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), deemed around 4,000 foreign-born applicants as “employment authorized” based on employer-sponsored visas without verifying that candidates were actually hired by the employers that sponsored them.

The famously inefficient program is known as E-Verify, a costly database that screens new employees using records from various government agencies to confirm the candidate is in the country legally. It is a web-based system that supposedly matches information provided by new hires against DHS and Social Security Administration (SSA) records. USCIS operates it because the agency is responsible for administering the nation’s lawful immigration system. The program is available to employers in every state as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. For private businesses it is voluntary but federal contractors and subcontractors must use it to vet workers. The government claims E-Verify is “currently the best means available to electronically confirm employment eligibility.”

That is distressing considering the lapses that have been well documented over the years. The most recent E-Verify problems are the focus of a lengthy federal audit published just a few days ago by the DHS Inspector General. In its report, the watchdog blasts USCIS, identifying “deficiencies” that illustrate the program needs “additional capabilities” to “more effectively confirm that individuals are eligible for employment in the United States.” The document identifies weaknesses in E-Verify’s process for confirming identity during employment verification and discloses that the system’s photo-matching mechanism is not fully automated, but rather, relies on employers to confirm individuals’ identities by manually reviewing photos. “We also determined that in fiscal year 2019, E-Verify returned an ‘Employment Authorized’ result for about 280,000 non-U.S. citizens without using the photo-matching process to confirm their identities,” the report says. “Additionally, although the majority of individuals submit a driver’s license to prove identity, E-Verify’s process does not use photos to ensure that individuals match the license submitted.”

It gets better. Investigators reveal they “found errors in E-Verify’s license verification process that resulted in E-Verify deeming about 613,000 individuals ‘Employment Authorized’ without meeting USCIS’ own identification system use requirement.” The probe further determined that E-Verify returned an “Employment Authorized” result for almost 3,000 non-U.S. citizens who did not meet USCIS’ verification requirements. Those are considered illegal immigrants. E-Verify also authorized 4,000 non-U.S. citizens to work based on an employer-sponsored visa without verifying that the individual was hired by the employer that sponsored them. “Lastly, USCIS has not completed full testing of E-Verify’s capabilities to determine whether the system can handle the projected increase in users,” the report states, attributing the problems to USCIS’s failure to develop or evaluate internal controls necessary to detect, track and investigate system errors. “Until USCIS addresses E-Verify’s deficiencies, it cannot ensure the system provides accurate employment eligibility results,” the watchdog writes.

Since it was launched in 1996, E-Verify’s efficiency has come under fire despite receiving generous funding from Congress. This fiscal year, the system got $118.7 million from American taxpayers. Around 909,000 employers throughout the nation use it to verify the employee work authorization of more than 40 million hires, making it an important tool to curb illegal immigration since jobs are a huge lure for migrants. For years undocumented immigrant workers have been able to pass an E-Verify check with fake identification documents. In fact, an audit conducted for the federal government more than a decade ago revealed that around 54% of illegal immigrants workers are approved by E-Verify to work legally in the U.S. It seems that little has changed to assure the system is more efficient.

Al-Qaida Back in Afghanistan – Just in Time for Biden’s 9/11 Anniversary

https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1432746089669595141

Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. It’s as if nothing changed. All that blood and treasure.

Amin-ul-Haq,  senior al-Qaida leader, and former aide to 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, now has  the confidence to travel and operate out in the open – in plain sight for the first time in a decade.

Terror is coming.

Al-Qaida Back in Afghanistan – Just in Time for 9/11 Anniversary

By Bill Hoffmann    |   Newsmax 01 September 2021

In a coincidence of timing as ironic as it was predictable, senior members of the al-Qaida terror group have returned to Afghanistan — just weeks before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that the group orchestrated from the Taliban-run safe haven.

The terror group’s reemergence on the world stage appeared to be confirmed by video purporting to show Amin-ul-Haq — a doctor, senior al-Qaida leader, and former aide to 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden — returning to his native Nangarhar province on Monday surrounded by gun-toting Taliban guards.

Biden’s America-Last Administration: U.S. Aid Will Keep Flowing to Taliban

https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1432746089669595141

My latest in PJ Media:

The war is lost, but no one is going to be held accountable and the same blinkered woke dopes are in charge. In fact, the one whose very name is Blinken, the secretary of State, explained Monday how the Taliban could gain the “international legitimacy and support” that is obviously such a high priority for them, and explained that even if it didn’t become the Leftist woke paradise of Blinken’s imagining, the American money will still flow. Of course. It always does.

Blinken claimed risibly that henceforth, the America-Last administration of Biden’s handlers would be guided by a concern for something that has never appeared on its list of priorities up to now: “our vital national interests.” Yeah, sure, Tony. Pull my other leg. More plausibly, Blinken assured the world that despite the last few weeks of catastrophe and humiliation, the American taxpayers will still be filling their cars with $4-a-gallon gasoline and driving to their pathetic nine-to-fives so that the elites can demonstrate their concern for the people of Afghanistan: “If we can work in the new Afghan government in a way that helps secure those interests … and in a way that brings greater stability to the country and the region, and that protects the gains of the last two decades, we will do it.”

The gains of the last two decades? What were those? Blinken didn’t say. He was too busy promising the Taliban American money: “The United States will continue to support humanitarian aid to the Afghan people. Consistent with our sanctions on the Taliban, the aid will not flow through the government, but rather through independent organizations, such as U.N. agencies and [non-government organizations.] And, we expect that those efforts will not be impeded by the Taliban or anyone else.”

Of course the Taliban won’t impede the money flow. They’re much more likely to appropriate it. Just as UN agencies in Gaza are wholly compromised by Hamas, it strains credulity to think that UN will be able to operate freely and independently of the Taliban in Afghanistan, or will even try to do so. But in Antony Blinken’s blinkered world, the UN is an incorrupt and thoroughly uncorruptable organization, and so no American taxpayer should object to his or her or xer money going to UN outposts in the Taliban’s Afghanistan. Really, what could possibly go wrong?

Blinken demonstrated his lack of acquaintance with reality yet again when he explained that if the Taliban wanted international approval, it would have to become a Leftist nanny state like the U.S. and its allies, all concerned with diversity and inclusiveness: “The Taliban seeks international legitimacy and support. Our message is: any legitimacy and any support will have to be earned.”

Is that right? And exactly what leverage do you have on the Taliban if they don’t earn it, Mr. Secretary?

There is more. Read the rest here.

PODCAST: Trojan Horses of Islamic Supremacy — Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah

This September marks the twentieth anniversary of the 9-11 disaster, an orchestrated attack by Islamic Supremacists to terrorize the United States. Since that time, we have invaded and conquered Iraq, took out the mastermind of 9-11, Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, eliminated ISIS from the region and much more. Interestingly, in spite of our involvement it is remarkable how naive most Americans are pertaining to Islam, a “religion” at the heart of these problems, yet has a huge bearing on our future. Enter Dr. William H. Urban and his 2018 book, “Trojan Horses of Islamic Supremacy,” a timely exposé explaining the purpose and goals of Islam, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood.

Over the years, I have learned a lot about the Islamic faith, but Dr. Urban’s book ties it all together in a tidy, easy to understand package. It is meticulously researched and well organized in such a fashion that it should be considered a must-read reference book all Americans should have access to.

Islam is a religion primarily made up of tribes. As such, there are several factions involved, but not a single head like the Pope for the Catholic Church. This explains the number of internal disputes within the religion. Whereas Christians think of God as a loving entity, Muslims live in fear of their god. The book also makes the point, “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated; to impose its laws on all nations; and extend its power to the entire planet.” Further, “Killing the infidels is our religion; Slaughtering them is our religion; Until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute” – noted al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musah al-Zarqawi; July 9, 2005.

At the Tehran Conference in 2005, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described his country’s “War Preparation Plan” which included, “The destruction of Anglo-Saxon Civilization.” In addition to terrorist activities, this is being done by infiltrating and subverting the Western world’s educational institutions, government agencies, and the news media. And they have been very successful in this regard, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood. Bottom line, they want to replace the U.S. Constitution with Sharia Law, thereby overthrowing the American government.

Dr. Urban defines the scope of various Islamic groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas, CAIR, and many more. One thing which surprised me was the fact American political activist and tax reduction advocate Grover Norquist has also been active with Islamic organizations. He is married to a Muslim and has been instrumental in helping to secure political appointments for Muslims in the past few presidential administrations. Also, former Secretary of State John Kerry’s son-in-law is a Muslim. Urban also points out the Obama administration was loaded with members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and George W. Bush also met with members of the Brotherhood even in spite of 9-11.

Urban begins the book by describing the properties of the Islamic religion, followed by a historical perspective. He then details what the government has discovered over the years, for example:

  • Raids in 2002 and 2004 by the FBI and other intelligence agencies discovered intel related to the Muslim Brotherhood, that they are interested in overthrowing the American government and instilling Sharia Law.
  • Under Obama, a CBS news investigation found the State Department sent hundreds of millions of dollars to refurbish mosques and save other Islamic sites around the world. AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS! Anyone remember the concept of “separation of church and state”? Why didn’t Christian and Jewish institutions receive comparable money? Hmm…
  • The return of money to Iran by authority of the Obama administration is scary and financed terrorist operations for years to come. $150B was returned with $18B going to the spread of Islam.
  • While it is well known President Obama was a Muslim sympathizer, President Trump overturned Obama’s policies in 2017 and became the first to stand up to Iran and terrorist organizations.

Dr. Urban ends his thesis with a “Call to Action” listing items the Federal Government should deploy to put Islam in check. Unfortunately, none of it will be done by President Biden.

Since the book was published, we have seen new peace treaties between Middle Eastern countries and Israel, the destruction of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the recent Afghanistan meltdown by the Biden administration, as well as a reversal of Trump’s executive orders on Muslims entering the country and the erosion of immigration borders thereby allowing terrorists to sneak in. Nonetheless, the book provides incredible insight into how Islam works. Quite simply, Dr. Urban “has put it all together.”

The book’s Appendices includes a well organized Glossary of Terms, History, and more. It is available in hard cover or paperback through most on-line stores. It is factual, well organized, and thoroughly researched. I cannot recommend it strongly enough. All Americans should read it. Why? Let me put it to you this way, as Dr. Urban explained to me, “The FBI reports 80% of mosques (in America) are armories.”

Think about it.
