Why Trump Wants to Ban the Muslim Brotherhood – And Why America Should Care

 Kim Ezra Shienbaum and Jamal Hasan  

"The way forward is simple. When “charity” is a mask for jihad, it is not charity. When “outreach” is designed to conquer, it is not dialogue. America cannot afford to keep pretending otherwise."

"When Americans consider “charity” they picture their contributions providing clothing for the poor or food for the hungry. When they hear the word “missionary" they picture Christians going abroad to save souls. However, these terms mean very different things to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that President Trump has twice attempted to label as terrorist. In radical Islamist teaching, zakat (charity) is not simply about helping the poor; it is about advancing Islam. The aim is to expand the ummah -- the worldwide Muslim community -- through dawah (proselytizing).

"Americans are right to be deeply concerned about what is happening in our own country. Radical Islam is now embedded here at home, cloaked in citizenship and political power.

"In Dearborn, Michigan, the city’s Muslim mayor publicly berated a Christian pastor -- one of his own constituents -- labeling him “Islamophobic” and declaring him unwelcome in Dearborn. The pastor’s supposed offense? A respectful protest at a City Council meeting against renaming a major road after an open supporter of terrorism.

"In Washington, D.C., one of President Trump’s rare outings to a local restaurant was disrupted by protesters waving “Free Palestine” placards in the streets. Months earlier two civilians were gunned down at a public event by yet another pro-Palestinian agitator repeating the same slogan.

"And who can forget October 8, 2023 -- the day after Hamas terrorists butchered Israeli families in their homes? Before Israel could even count its dead, or bury its bodies, America’s elite universities -- including Columbia -- erupted in demonstrations supporting Hamas." . . .

. . . "And Obama and Biden hosted CAIR at the White House. All the while, their own documents -- seized in FBI raids -- describe their mission in America as a “civilizational jihad,” designed to “destroy Western civilization from within.” . . .

Super Bowl Boycott Backlash Grows After NFL Taps Anti-Trump Pop Star Bad Bunny for Halftime Show

 Breitbart 

 "Further enflaming Americans, the rapper recently said he would no longer perform concerts in the U.S. because he opposes Donald Trump’s immigration policies."

"The NFL is facing growing boycott calls after announcing its decision to tap anti-Trump pop megastar Bad Bunny as the headliner for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

"Social media erupted this week when the Puerto Rican rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was announced as the main attraction for Super Bowl LX coming up next February.

"Photos began circulating showing the singer dressed in a pink mini skirt and high heels and another in a voluminous white dress as football fans blasted the NFL for once again not understanding their own audience." . . .

Spanberger Refuses To Condemn Male Sex Offender Using Girls’ Locker Rooms

The Federalist   

"These policies are in violation of U.S. Department of Education policy, as previously reported by The Federalist."

"Virginia’s Fairfax County claims there is no “probable cause” to charge Richard Cox, a Tier III registered sex offender, for allegedly exposing himself to women and girls.

"Fairfax County’s refusal to charge Cox comes despite an Arlington detective’s testimony that Cox was in possession of child pornography and Fairfax County children’s swim class schedules, Cox’s previous alleged admission of his own compulsions to expose himself, and witnesses claiming that he exposed himself to women and girls in Fairfax County recreation centers’ locker rooms, ABC 7 News’ Nick Minock reported.

"Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat candidate for governor in Virginia, did not respond to The Federalist’s inquiry asking whether she believes it is appropriate for males to have access to sensitive female spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms, and whether she supports allowing men like Cox to use their supposed “transgender” identities to access
sensitive women’s and children’s spaces. Spanberger has previously refused to condemn men’s access to sensitive women’s spaces, as reported by The Federalist.

"In a statement Friday, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares explained that Cox’s status as a sex offender extends back to the 1990s, and that he was convicted on child pornography charges in 2006. Since then, Miyares noted, Cox has taken advantage of Virginia law that allowed him to change his driver’s license sex description to female, letting him exploit his claimed “transgender” identity and access to female spaces where he allegedly repeatedly exposed himself to women. Cox appealed to this so-called identity in a preliminary hearing in Arlington County Thursday, repeatedly claiming to be a woman and complaining that he was being “misgendered.” . . . More...

Speaking of Virginia: Woke officials in tony DC suburb refused to charge trans sex offender who went ‘hunting’ for little girls, Virginia AG says  

"Following last week’s bombshell revelation about Cox having Fairfax County children’s swimming schedules on his phone, Fairfax County police said they still don’t plan to pursue charges."

Winsome Sears Absolutely Nukes Abigail Spanberger in Devastating 'RAGE' Ad   "Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, current lieutenant governor of Virginia and candidate to become the commonwealth's next governor, has released a brutal new campaign ad calling out her Democrat opponent for pouring gasoline on the unchecked rage that's driving too many on the left to commit acts of political violence. 

"That opponent, Abigail Spanberger, has been caught on camera several times in recent weeks urging her supporters to  let their rage fuel them into taking action. As we've seen all too often in recent weeks, months, and years, that action has been less "let's talk it out and find common ground" and more "grab your weapon of choice and take to the streets." Or worse." . . .  

The undeclared cold civil war in the West.

The Wentworth Report

Richard Fernandez.   

The undeclared cold civil war in the West is everywhere coming out of the closet. Both the Woke and Populist coalitions in every country have declared political war on each other at the level of ideology, generation of voter base and economic policy.

The moment of open conflict can be dated from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the MAGA coalition crossing ‘Red Lines’ on border policy domestically and Palestinian recognition internationally. There were other similar lines of departure in the UK, France and Germany.

The eerie thing about it is not that the kinetic level of confrontation has increased; even the Kirk assassination followed a string of attempts on other figures. It’s just that no one pretends not to see the conflict any more. It is still a cold conflict in the West — for now.

But the conflict is now an open one and to some extent that will redefine politics in the West. It has already broken the old Tory/Labour duopoly in the UK. In the US the Bill Kristols and John Kennedys of the the GOP and Dem parties are gone with the wind.

EndWokeness:

These are not revolutionaries. These are all regular leftists you see every day, outright advocating for murder.  Video

 Anthony Galli:

The biggest political shock I’ve had in my lifetime is seeing just how many Facebook friends and family lamented the fact the assassin missed.

I vastly underestimated their hatred for me as a MAGA conservative.

People Will DIE!

 

"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) kicked off a "Stop the Republican Shutdown" live stream overnight, and it may be the least-watched political event in modern history." . . .

. . . " None of this is setting up well for Democrats. When I wrote on Tuesday that they are walking into a trap, I wasn't being hyperbolic. 

"It was written in bold letters, rhetorically speaking, that Trump would take full advantage of any shutdown to cull the bureaucracies. With one now underway, hundreds of thousands of government workers, almost all of whom are Democrats, can be fired with little or no recourse. Meanwhile, very little will happen that Americans will notice other than a few bathrooms closing and some interns being laid off, leaving Republicans no real reason to make any real concessions. 

"Just how badly are Democrats losing the narrative war? Even The New York Times is framing this shutdown as their fault because there's no other rational way to frame it." . . .  More...

Comey Faces Indictment, but His Real Crimes Remain Untouched

Victor Davis Hanson  

"The final irony? All of them have posed as our moral censors, whether peddling the Russian collusion hoax, the laptop disinformation caper, or the lawfare walls-are-closing-in-on-Trump farces."

Rich Terrell

"We have no idea whether the current DOJ indictments will lead to a conviction of James Comey, namely that he authorized FBI subordinates to leak to the media and then lied about it, obstructing Congress in the process.

"It may come down to the word of Comey, a known fabricator, against the testimony of his former subordinate, Andrew McCabe, an admitted liar. Take your pick.

"We know, however, that Comey is not facing a Trumpian $500 million in potential fines, nor 93 indictments, nor the scrutiny of five different local, state, and federal prosecutors. Nor, like some of the J6 arrested, will he be sent to solitary confinement to await a trial in a year or two or be charged with “illegal parading.”

"We also know of the crimes or unethical conduct for which James Comey is not currently being indicted or investigated.

"He is not being charged with pleading amnesia or ignorance in 2018—e.g., “I didn’t know,” “I couldn’t recall,” “I didn’t remember”—a reported 245 times while under oath to House investigators and misleading them.

"He is not being charged with leaking in 2017 a confidential FBI memo of a conversation with then President Trump—which he improperly stored in his personal safe, in violation of FBI protocols—to the New York Times via a third-party Columbia professor.

"He is not being charged for falsely assuring the President of the United States in 2017 that he was not the object of the current Crossfire Hurricane “Russian collusion” investigation—when, in fact, Trump, as the Mueller investigation revealed, was the real target of almost that entire ruse.

"He is not being charged for deliberately leaking an FBI memo of a conversation with President Trump for the purpose of injuring him by prompting the appointment of his friend and predecessor, Robert Mueller, as a special counsel to investigate the supposed crimes of Donald Trump. Comey’s gambit resulted in a 22-month and $30 million administration hiatus, only to find no actionable wrongdoing by Trump.

"He is not being investigated for usurping the role of the DOJ in 2016 when, as an FBI investigator, he served simultaneously as investigator and prosecutor, creating a conflict of interest.

"He was tasked with both finding evidence of Hillary Clinton’s alleged wrongdoing and also making the federal prosecutorial decision whether to indict her for transmitting classified material over an unsecured email server. And after finding evidence of her culpability, he chose not to indict her on the grounds that her candidacy at the time meant no reasonable prosecutor (of which he was then not supposed to be one) would bring such a case against her." . . . More.

Hegseth Lays Out New Culture at Pentagon: No DEI, No Identity Months

 Legal Insurrection

"If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is… It will also mean that weak men won't qualify — because we're not playing games. This is combat. This is life or death." 

"Secretary of War (Defense) Pete Hegseth laid down the law during a meeting at Quantico with the top generals and admirals.

"Shorter Hegseth: The military gets back to its high standards.

No More Social Justice

"The Pentagon will eliminate all that leftist “debris” instilled by the Biden administration:

This administration has done a great deal from day one to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department, to rip out the politics. No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction or gender delusions, no more debris.

As I’ve said before, and we’ll say again, we are done with that s*it.

SECRETARY OF WAR HEGSETH: “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses."

" From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: War. Fighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war. No one here wants war, but it’s because we love peace. We love peace for our fellow citizens. They deserve peace, and they rightfully expect us to deliver it.   Our number one job, of course, is to be strong so that we can prevent war in the first place. The President talks about it all the time. It’s called peace through strength, and as history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That’s why pacifism is so naive and dangerous. It ignores human nature and it ignores human history. Either you protect your people and your sovereignty, or you will be subservient to something or someone. It’s a truth as old as time.At Quantico, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reveals to a room full of top military leaders the SOLE mission the newly restored Department of War.                 "This is a course correction.No more DEI or identity games.
