A teenager planned to attack churches in a northern Idaho city using a metal pipe, butane fuel, a machete and, if he could get them, his father's guns, according to federal prosecutors who charged him with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group. Authorities said Alexander Scott Mercurio, 18, adopted the Muslim faith against his Christian parents' wishes and was in contact with FBI informants posing as Islamic State group supporters.

Who was his FBI handler? "they caught him just in time..." Stinks of FBI grooming of a mentally ill young man. Just like the fake kidnapping attempt on Witter.

The question everyone is probably asking is, why would he do this? Well, let's examine the current state of The Message to young boys who are maturing into manhood. You're worthless, you're weaker than women, you have no value in any area of modern society, you are innately dangerous if not outright evil, you bear the genetic imprint of every wrong from the past, you are better off as a neutered eunuch than as a fully realized male. Is that enough? So many boys are lost, raised by women alone with no real male role model to draw upon. The downfall of the modern male is the supposedly Strong Single Mother. Everything he needs as a man is being drained away. Add to that the push by schools to drug boys into femdom, and you have the recipe for this behavior. Lost Boys will seek power from Lost Movements. They end up as True Believers, and that is deadly for society.

Bravo, #6! There is absolutely a crisis simmering in our society, as perfectly summed up in the poster's comments. Actually, it's probably closer to exploding than simply simmering. I do not excuse any violent behavior from any person or quarter, but our boys/young men are in peril. Lucky is the man whose age likely puts him beyond the social layer of males who are subjected to this perversion of natural order and biologic makeup. Society needs its males to be men.

But, we are told endlessly that this is "the religion of peace". Lies. Islam is a religion of war, of enslavement, of hate. Violent 7th century barbarians.

So, what's his Muslim name? AP left that out. And the use of "teen" in the headline when the would-be terrorist is legally an adult is shameful. Are they going to show his high school yearbook photo next?

Hibatullah Akundzada, the reclusive leader of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, rejected the idea of compromising when it comes to restrictions on women's life in the country this week.

Speaking and leading prayers at the central mosque of Kandahar, Akhundzada proclaimed that he "will not take even a step away from the Islamic law," according to a report in Voice of America.

Former President Donald Trump called President Joe Biden 'pretty pathetic' and claimed Iran wouldn't be attacking Israel if he remained in office. Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee, held a press conference early Friday evening after meeting at Mar-a-Lago with the embattled GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson, floating that Biden could get the country into a 'world war.' The ex-president was asked by a reporter about the U.S. warnings that Iran was about to strike Israel and if he'd been in touch with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but this is 2024, and it’s a whole new ballgame. Discrimination on the basis of race and sex is back with a vengeance, and it’s a big business these days, enforced at the highest levels. Now, however, some farmers in Texas are fighting back. Just The News reported Sunday that “a group of white farmers in Texas is asking a federal judge to block the U.S. Department of Agriculture from using race, gender or other ‘socially disadvantaged’ traits to determine who gets disaster and pandemic farm aid and how much.

Coeur d’Alene, an Idaho city with a population of over 50,000, had too many churches. Alexander Scott Mercurio, a new teen convert to Islam, had a plan to “fix that real soon.” Ramadan was almost over and Mercurio was unhappy because he believed that he was a bad Muslim who hadn’t even assaulted, let alone killed any Christians, and would go to hell. “I am a hypocrite who has not even spat in the face of a kafir (non-Muslim),” he complained in online chats. “Let alone spilled their blood and induced terror into their hearts and minds.” Mercurio wasn’t sure if he could be considered a good Muslim without killing Christians.

House Republicans demand to know why the largest Christian school in the U.S. was slapped with a steep $37.7 million fine by the Biden administration. They say the massive fine may based on 'political animus' and a tool of government weaponization being used by Biden's federal agency. Grand Canyon University (GCU), the nation's largest Christian school, was allegedly fined for lying to 7,500 students about the cost of doctoral degrees in October 2023 to boost enrollment, according to the agency. But GCU has denied the charges and is currently appealing the decision.

Disney is arguing it had a First Amendment right to fire 'Mandalorian' actress Gina Carano after she posted tweets that were out-of-step with the trans-rights movement, and an image the company claims was controversial as it pertained to the Holocaust. Carano sued the House of Mouse in February claiming the company broke the law then it retaliated against her for expressing personal political beliefs. Attorneys for the mega-entertainment brand filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss the suit, arguing the company has a 'constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech.'

We want to be a welcoming city” but doing that without federal help “requires shared sacrifice, it requires compromise.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is catching up to former President Donald Trump’s polling lead, highlighting just how close the 2024 presidential election will be, according to a new poll from the New York Times and Siena College. Trump leads Biden by just one percentage point with both men at 46% and 45% respectively. The survey is a significant boost for the incumbent president who has been lagging behind Trump in recent polling. An earlier New York Times and Siena college poll released in March saw Trump leading Biden by 5 percentage points at 48% and 43% respectively. But Biden appears to be shoring up

Under the Biden administration’s CHNV program, some nationals hailing from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can be eligible to come to the United States “in a safe and orderly way” and obtain humanitarian parole status, meaning they are here legally and can obtain work authorization. Over 400,000 migrants hailing from these nations have been flown into airports across the U.S. as of March, CBP said in a statement on Friday.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday explained his apparent flip-flop on a controversial surveillance law, saying that he now favors limited reforms after receiving a classified briefing. Speaker Johnson was asked by reporters why he changed his opinion on reforming Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a controversial surveillance law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ communications without a warrant. Johnson this week came out against a warrant requirement for Section 702 and moved not to allow an amendment that would have barred intelligence and law enforcement agencies from purchasing Americans’ private information through third-party data brokers.

New York City has a serious and growing problem with empty office space. Between rising crime, high taxes, and the crazy rules of the pandemic a few years ago, people have fled the city in huge numbers. Now the city is home to a record number of empty office buildings. The lack of revenue from these properties has got to be hurting the city’s bottom line and the policies of the current mayor are not helping. Who would want to spend millions of dollars to open a new office in Manhattan right now? The New York Post reports:

Rush Limbaugh warned Democrats would eventually promote pedophilia. Progressivism never stops. Its advocates never say, “This is far enough.” No sooner is one objective completed than left-wing agitators shout that a new social justice battle be waged. For centuries, God-ordained families headed by one biological man and one biological woman have been civilizations’ bedrocks. But just as progressives hunger to rewrite Western Civilization’s history (witness scholastic textbook revisionism and the razing of American Founders’ statuary), they crave cultural destruction. First, they urged same-sex marriages to be legally recognized.

Breitbart News explained that the ATF’s proposed rule changes the definition of what it means to be “engaged in the business of selling guns,” thereby expanding the instances in which an unlicensed seller — i.e., a private citizen — must use the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to sell or transfer a gun.

At the end of Donald Trump's presidential term, Iran was nearing an economic collapse with little ability to project strength outside of funding terrorist proxies. Internal revolutions were brewing, and the Mullahs were in their weakest position in decades. Then Joe Biden took over. Since then Iran has been revitalized, seeing significant growth in its military budget due to the waiving of sanctions. The Islamic power has also come far closer to developing usable nuclear weapons. What did the United States get in return? It received a frayed relationship with long-time ally Saudia Arabia and absolute chaos from Kabul to Tel Aviv.
