It is almost a quarter-century now since the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City and Washington. Many Americans assume that the jihad threat was somehow neutralized and contained in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, such that a large-scale jihad attack can never happen again in America, and the public discourse has moved on to other issues: mass migration, skyrocketing crime in the cities, tariffs, and the like. In reality, however, the jihad against the U.S. has not ended, and in the near-quarter century since 9/11, the jihadis have made immense gains.

Nature of Islam as a socio/political system that at it's core is highly intolerant of any other, is incompatible with Western, pluralistic politically tolerant societies. You ignore this reality at your own peril. In Western Europe, it may already be too late.

...it was 24 years ago ...but I remember it like it was last week... ... muslims showed the World that they would try and kill as many infidels as they could ...even if it meant killing themselves while doing so. ...and we ALL said ... " We'll be on the guard now ... NEVER FORGET !! " ...well, guess what...??...at least HALF the country (dems) has forgot . ... there are more muslims here now than EVER before ... HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS came in thanks to obama and biden. ...it's now common to see them in every major city...it's hard not to notice when they wear their hijabs and robes and are jibbering in arabic. ... and clearly they have NO INTENTION of assimilating and becoming "Americans " ...they've taken over cities in Minnesota...and Michigan......they've even got Congressional representatives elected !! ( ..is this insane ??) ...and they're trying to start their own "Sharia" city outside of Dallas ... called " Epic City " ( East Plano Islamic Center ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIC_City,_Texas ...hundreds of mosques ( ie - indoctrination centers) have sprung up everywhere across the country ... ( they especially like to convert churches ... in your face, Infidel ! ) ... ??....... "Never FORGET " my a$$.....take a look around.

Rashida Tlaib. Ilhan Omar. Zohran Mamdani. Dearborn, MI. Minneapolis. Currently under construction in Texas (north of Dallas) - the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC). New mosques and current churches converted to mosques (e.g. Syracuse and Buffalo, NY). It looks like jihadis sorry, nice muslim people, are doing quite well 24 years after 9/11.

Face it. We lost the "War on Terror" that was laughingly declared post-9/11. We need to win the next one that began a few days ago.

Western Europe has completely surrendered. In10 years max, Muslims will control England and France and thus will have nukes. All of Africa and major parts of southern Asia are now Muslim too. As crazy as it may sound, the US, South America, Eastern Europe (including Russia) and northern Asia (including China) will have to become allies in order to ward off and permanently put down the Muslim threat taking over the world. And yes, the US is going to have to annex Canada to keep them from metastasizing into a Muslim nation too. Sorry, Canucks, but you hosers have completely ignored what's happening to you, so we're going to have to save you too from your obliviousness. Prove me wrong.

It was lost as soon as George W. Bush said Islam was a religion of peace. Once that was stated, any effort at rightful vengeance was a non-starter.

The Muslims are. Obama brought them over to infiltrate them into our society and government. The plan to have Sharia Law is creeping in, The fact that it was even thought about in Texas is frightening. Especially, if you are a female.

Islam is antithetical to our very Constitution. There is NO way for a Mohammedan to be (1) faithful to Islam, and (2) loyal to the United States of America and our Constitution. It's like a three-sided square, or a four-sided triangle, each with irreconcilable differences. This alone sets a condition under which immigrants can be stripped of U.S. citizenship and to be deported from this country. The only people we should have allowed into this country were Christian converts from Islam especially females who suffer unimaginable horrors in Muslim societies. NO to military age males who have no other reason to come to the USA other than economic opportunism. Our ever so precious citizenship is not a workfare program for third-world hellions.

SCOTUS Chief Justice Hands Trump Admin
a Temporary Victory on Foreign Aid

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has handed a temporary victory to President Donald Trump by keeping in place the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid for the time being. The decision puts nearly $5 billion in funding on hold. Trump told House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a letter at the end of last month that he wouldn’t spend $4.9 billion in foreign aid that Congress approved. It’s what we call a “pocket rescission,” in which the president requests that Congress not spend certain approved funds. “This case raises questions of immense legal and practical importance,

Sudan's brutal civil war... is not just a clash between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their former military allies turned rivals, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It is a calculated power grab by the Muslim Brotherhood, which appears to be using the SAF as a Trojan horse to dominate northeast Africa and the Red Sea, a critical artery for global commerce. The Muslim Brotherhood, sponsored by Qatar, appears to be hijacking the SAF to stage a takeover, recycling old alliances under new guises. Despite recent concessions to the United States and Egypt,

Charlotte, NC Mayor Vi Lyles says she’s disappointed that the video of the shocking murder of Iryna Zarutska “is now public” and thanked media outlets for not “sharing” the brutal footage. Appalling: While Lyles now pretends the blackout was to show “respect for Iryna’s family,” her statement two weeks back to a local news reporter makes it plain her concern was for the vagrant arrested for the deadly stabbing. Bull: Lyles wanted the video out of sight not because she cares for how the family feels, but because it exposes the corruption and menace that lurks right under the surface in our crime-ridden cities.

Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested at least 14 times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery and larceny dating back to 2007.

France’s government was toppled in a vote of no confidence on Monday, forcing President Emmanuel Macron to search for his fourth prime minister in 12 months — and throwing the EU’s second largest economy into chaos. Premier François Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him, losing an apparent gamble that lawmakers would back his push for France to slash public spending to repay its debts. The 74-year-old centrist was instead voted out, ending his short-lived minority government after being appointed by Macron in December.

WASHINGTON — Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, President Donald Trump may be uniquely positioned to tamp down the anger that suffuses American politics and lead a movement to bind up a bitterly divided country if he chooses. But, political strategists and officials from both parties told NBC News, that’s not the path Trump appears to be taking. Trump has been both a target of assassination attempts and a fount of vitriolic rhetoric. He knows firsthand the passions that drive American voters and, were he to renounce partisan attacks and call on others in both parties to do the same, that gesture could potentially send a healing message.
