Secretary Austin commits an act of decency by revoking shameful plea deals with 9/11 terrorists

Pleased and surprised, one was inclined to deny respect to the General solely because he was chosen by Biden and part of a Democrat Administration. Being assumed feckless, this is a major surprise. TD

 BPR 

 To close this chapter in history, a reelected Trump should charge his Secretary of Defense with convening and concluding a tribunal for these three apex terrorists and others still held at Guantanamo within the first 100 days of his second term. The long-overdue process should end with a short drop from a long rope and the hangman finally rendering justice to the 9/11 terrorists.

 "In an order released on Friday night, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin canceled the Biden-Harris administration’s shameful plea deals with 9/11 terrorist masterminds that would have spared them the death penalty.

"Secretary Austin, a former Army general before becoming secretary, reserved the power to reach any such deals to himself. Addressing the bureaucrat in charge of the failed prosecution, he wrote: “Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself.” He added: “I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024 in the above-referenced case.”

"Bravo General.

"I say “general” instead of “secretary” as a compliment. In discussing with a retired Navy captain friend whether Austin was forced to make the move as a fall guy for the White House or chose to do so himself, my friend speculated: “Austin woke up this morning and realized he is a United States Army general, and then did the right thing.”

"The move has stopped, temporarily at least, a decision by the Biden-Harris administration to accept a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed architect of the 9/11 attacks on the United States, and two high-level accomplices. Instead of the execution the three men deserve, they would have received life sentences.

"Such an act would have been moral degenerate and a symbol of a sick civilization that no longer has confidence in itself or a sense of justice. It would have broken faith with those Americans killed on 9/11 and the tens of thousands more who died or were maimed, physically and mentally, in the war the terrorists started on that day.

"Implausibly, the White House disclaimed responsibility for the plea deal. A spokesman remarked: “The president and the White House played no role in this process.” That strikes me as an outright lie or subterfuge. At a minimum, the White House and National Security Council staff ushered along a process designed to produce that result. More likely, they called the shots while making it appear that others were in charge." . . .

This nations silliness on display before the world

Democrats are an embarrassment before the world and a threat to our nation and our allies, especially Israel which is surrounded by nations who hate Jews and want every one killed. Including one or two in the U.S. Congress. TD

The Etch A Sketch Nominee and the Mullahs’ Nightmare   "The Democrats think they will pitch a fast one, less than 100 days before the election, coronating a radical, not very smart candidate as a substitute for a clearly demented president. They plan to avoid any unscripted remarks by her and any interviews or debates. The wisdom of keeping her mouth shut is evident. How long can they hide the Obama-Kerry-Harris close ties with the nuclear-weapon-seeking, terrorist-supporting Islamists of Iran who want nothing more than to destroy America? How long can the press allow Harris to airbrush her very radical political record?" ...

"Almost uniformly, the Western press mourned Haniyeh as a “moderate.’ On October 7, he was filmed watching the slaughter of the innocents and smiling. It reminds us all of the Washington Post’s description of the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi as an “austere Islamic scholar.' ”

. . ."As for the Democrats, their theme of the week was set by Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who called Republicans “weird,” and both their brainwashed base and the legacy media thought this was a nifty theme. It seems to have fallen by the wayside as it became an easy target for derision. The week ended with the Daily Mail revealing that the second gentleman’s first marriage broke up because he impregnated his children’s nanny."

The coming terrorist attacks   . . ."They—Islamist terrorists--posted a small bail and promised to show up for their court date.

Authorities arrested Hasan Yousef Hamdan, 32, and Mohammad Khair Dabous, 18, on May 3 for trespassing after they tried to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico when they approached the gates in a box truck.

"Real terrorist attacks are coming, and we’re ruled by America-hating useful idiots."

Two of whom are pictured here:

Joe & Kamala Border Services out to lunch  . . ."Yes, she fell short objectively. However, her biggest mistake was not taking the task seriously, an insult I would think to the President who appointed her. The VP never spoke with border governors like our own Governor Greg Abbott of Texas. She took a meaningless trip to look for the root causes when everybody knows that the issue is an open border and lack of enforcement of laws.

"So the VP cannot escape the issue because she made it worse with her lack of respect for Americans impacted by the issue. It's on her and that's no joke, as her boss would say."

Kamala Campaign Spreads Such an Egregious Tall Tale About Trump Rally, Even NPR Reporter Calls Them Out

Do I detect a tad bit of jealousy?

RedState  "I've said this before but it continues to be true. The Biden-Harris team has a big problem with truth and reality. Their campaign accounts on X, for example, are constantly saying things that aren't true. Of course, since it all flows down from the top and Joe Biden lies like he breathes, maybe that's the reason. So does Kamala Harris.

"Take the Trump rally in Georgia on Saturday. The Harris campaign team is desperate to make it look like Harris had more people coming out for her rally in the same arena a few days ago. So, what did they do? They falsely tried to claim that there were empty seats for Trump, when it was full for Harris:

"Now, this is a common trick Democrats pull to try to make it seem like there are empty seats, when they use a picture that either gets taken before the event or before the event begins. 

But in this case, it was untrue as the event was full. Trump campaign official Stephen Cheung called out the lie:"

Kamala Harris Launched Her First Big Rally with a HUGE Lie… and the Media Let Her   . . ."The fact is, Project 2025, is just made up of anodyne conservative ideas. And it was created by a group of folks from the Heritage Foundation. But Project 2025 and its sponsors never coordinated with Trump or the Trump campaign. This whole document is autonomous of the Trump.

"He has never had a thing to do with it."

WATCH: Michaelah Montgomery Sets It Off at the Atlanta Trump-Vance Rally

"Conserve the Culture founder Michaelah Montgomery BLASTS Kamala Harris, boosts President Trump at rally in Atlanta, GA"

Montgomery also exposed where Harris' loyalties lie. No matter how much they try to play on the Kendrick Lamar tune, Kamala Harris is "Not Like Us." As Montgomery warned, "she chose her side and it wasn't ours." Harris' record of ignoring the Black community until convenient, targeting and jailing the men and their mothers, and then putting on debauched entertainment as a sop and excuse to ignore policy discussions has become legendary, especially the longer she refuses to do any form of a press conference and plays ChickenMala with a presidential debate. 

Kamala is Anti-Israel. Her Husband’s Law Firm Repped the PLO

Daniel Greenfield  "The PLO’s money arm was the largest foreign principal for his law firm.

"Freedom Center Investigates had previously reported on the intersection between Emhoff’s previous law firm and its Cuban business, and Kamala’s opposition to the embargo on the Communist dictatorship. Similar questions might be asked about the intersection of Kamala’s hostility to Israel and the problematic and even terrorist clients of her husband’s law firm."

“ 'Will Doug Emhoff’s Legal Career Be an Issue for the Biden-Harris Ticket?” the New York Times asked four years ago.

"The newspaper noted that Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, was a partner at DLA Piper whose “lobbying clients” had included the governments of Afghanistan and Bahrain, as well as the Qatari government-funded Al Jazeera Network and the Palestine Monetary Authority.

"DLA Piper was good to the Emhoff-Harris family with the family taking home $2.7 million in 2019 and $1.2 million in 2020. “To aspire to create wealth is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. If that is what one chooses. I, on the other hand, have chosen to live a life of public service,’ Kamala had claimed. But the “life of public service” led to her husband’s role at DLA Piper.

"And two DLA Piper clients are connected to a flashpoint in Kamala’s foreign policy.

"As vice president, Kamala pursued a harsher line against Israel than Biden, virulently denouncing the Jewish state over its military campaign against Hamas terrorists after Oct 7." . . .

Mark Levin: Kamala Harris ‘Worst Israel-Hater, Islamist Propagandist’ to Seek Dem Presidential Nomination   

. . ."Her associations with Hamas front group CAIR, among others, her blood libels against Israel when it is surrounded by terrorists threatening to destroy it, her virtual silence in the face of the most horrendous antisemitism we have ever seen in our country (even praising the so-called Iran-Hamas-Qatar funded “protestors”), her boycott of the Israeli prime minister during his joint congressional speech, her failure to make a personal statement condemning Hezbollah’s slaughter of the Israelis children playing soccer, her repeated use of Hamas casualty propaganda, her support for funding Iran directly and indirectly, her support for withholding critical military equipment and ammunition from Israel, and on and on.

"Deeming her a “grave threat to the survival of Israel” — especially given Israel’s current need for support, Levin asserted that no wavering or Jewish ties can mask her true beliefs and condemning record.

“ 'No amount of flip-flopping, association with certain Jewish groups, or other diversions can change who she is, what she has said, and what she believes,” the conservative host wrote, capitalizing for emphasis, while adding that her own record “condemns her.”

"In response, conservative Middle East analyst and commentator Caroline Glick suggested to “Watch what people do. It’s more important [than] what they say.' ” . . .

Imane Khelif Wins First-Ever Gold Medal In Freestyle Domestic Violence   "Algerian boxer Imane Khelif made history this week by becoming the first-ever Olympian to win the gold medal in the new Freestyle Domestic Violence event.

" 'This is for all of us," an emotional Khelif said, raising his bloody fist triumphantly as the broken body of his small female opponent lay before him. "I'm proud that my superior man-shoulders and bone structure gave me the ability to beat up this small woman. This is what the sport of freestyle domestic violence is all about."

"According to doctors, the genetically male Khelif has higher testosterone and XY chromosomes that make him a killing machine. He has dominated the amateur Domestic Violence circuit, but this is the first time a similar event has made its way to the Olympics." . . .

Woman Who Lost To Male Boxer Says Everything's Fine, She Just Fell Down Some Stairs  "Italian woman Angela Carini tearfully assured reporters yesterday that "everything is fine, except that I fell down some stairs" while responding to questions on her recent loss to male boxer Imane Khelif in the Olympics.

"Carini went out of her way to assure reporters that absolutely everything was fine and dandy as cameras snapped photos of her bruised face, which was still bleeding from Khelif's crushing male blows.

" 'I would like to assure the world that I am 100% okay and doing perfectly fine," Carini sniffled, carefully blowing her broken, disfigured nose. "The only thing was that I randomly fell down a flight of stairs. Everything is fine. It was just a flight of stairs. Nobody hurt me. It was just an accident."

"When asked about her round bruises which looked oddly like they had been administered by a man's hand, Carini ventured to note that she had also banged her head onto a doorknob at the bottom of the stairs.

"Khelif was unavailable for comment, as he was busy having a testicular hernia seen to before his next session of abusing women in front of a cheering crowd.

"At publishing time, Khelif's next opponent was telling reporters that her new bruises had happened when she accidentally walked into a cabinet and a wall."

'F--- white women!' Harris ally told Zoom meeting full of leftists --report

 Monica Showalter  "Kamala Harris has always had trouble keeping staff based on her nasty, bullying, personality, but she sure does well with people who talk like this in her tree.

"According to Fox News:

Cora Masters Barry, an appointee of Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and longtime civil rights activist, and Melanie Campbell, who leads the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, have visited the White House more than 50 times combined during the Biden administration, including nearly a dozen visits with Harris or her staff, a Fox News Digital review found.

Weeks before President Biden and Harris were sworn into office in 2021, Barry and Campbell participated in a public Zoom call in which they made controversial statements about Trump supporters and used an expletive against White voters, specifically White women, which could cause some internal clashes as different   coalitions mobilize to try to get Harris into the White House.

"... and ...  “We have to change our strategy. We got to get our people. We have to get our – they got their people. They got all the trailer parks all covered,” Barry said during the Zoom. “All them people up in West Virginia and the hills, they’re covered. They got them all the way there to Wall Street.”

“[Trump] did that, and we’re sitting here talking about the White women. F–k the white women– excuse me – forget the White women. They’re going to do what the White men tell them to do,” Barry continued, eliciting laughter and clapping from Campbell." . . .More

Even so:...“White Women for Harris” Shows How Democrats Have Fully Embraced Campus Lunacy  

 "The ‘White Women for Kamala Harris’ call that took place this week was full of cringe, just like the ‘White Dudes for Harris’ call.

"Terms like privilege and all of the progressive concepts that come with it are straight off liberal college campuses and the fact that they’re being used in this context shows that Democrats have fully embraced this political culture." . . .

 . . ."Do you want to live in a country of safe spaces, trigger warnings, and speech codes? This is how you get there."

‘Race-faking’ is now okay?   "So Kamala Harris has shared heritage from India and Jamaica, but identifies as black? I thought being black was the provenance of African heritage, and why is it so sensitive of a question to raise? Is it not a legitimate inquiry? Usually when a question provokes such a disproportionate and angry backlash, it indicates that the inquiry is hitting a nerve because those being questioned have no good response. Are blacks descended from Africa not offended when non-Africans appropriate their culture, history, and heritage for political purposes?

"It’s funny, when Jessica Krug and Rachel Dolezal masqueraded as black women while being white, they were taken to the woodshed for their temerity to culturally appropriate another race.

"If you don’t remember these two, Krug was a college professor of African Studies at  George Washington University before she outed herself in an on-line magazine article after a “marathon of deceit.” Here’s what Krug wrote:" . . .

France Shows the World How to Ruin the Olympics

The Spectator  

Macron’s France is an aberration and an embarrassment to the West, but, above all, like any woke beacon, it is an immense imposture. 

"There aren’t many prestigious and popular institutions left capable of uniting the whole world regardless of ideologies, race, nation, or religion. Until Paris 2024, the Olympic Games used to be one of them. Not anymore.

"Let me give you two images. One is the blasphemous inauguration with transvestites mocking the Last Supper. Another is the Italian boxer Angela Carini crying after receiving a brutal beating in 46 seconds at the hands of a boxer recognized as “intersex,” that is, she was born with female genitalia but with XY chromosomes and in tests gave male testosterone levels. She is participating among women in the Olympic Games because, according to the IOC, “she has the right to practice sport without discrimination.” Everything, absolutely everything, is wrong at the Olympic Games in France. (WATCH: The Spectator P.M. Podcast Ep. 63: Don’t Believe Them. The Drag Queens at the Olympics Were Mocking Christianity)

"The blasphemous inauguration was not intended to offend anyone, the organization assures. The truth is that it offended everyone. Christians for the blasphemy, and everyone else, for the sordid and ugly spectacle. As if that were not enough, it included a typically woke vindication of transsexualism, the movement that has put an end to women for once and for all, with enthusiastic support from queer feminists. I’ve written it before: If anyone can be a woman, being a woman means absolutely nothing. That male victory is superior to that of any machismo you can imagine, but since it’s championed by the woke left, criticizing it makes you a target for cancellation.

The IOC Is More Concerned About Inclusivity Than Safety

"The case of the intersex boxer is dramatic and scandalous, not because she is trans, which she is not, but because what’s behind the IOC’s crazy decision is precisely queer feminism and the LGBT movement.

"First, because the IOC considers that leaving her out would be “discriminatory” and that everyone has the right to participate. I would like to know if the IOC would let me participate in the Olympic Games in the women’s boxing event, if instead of ears, due to some genetic quirk, I had developed two bazookas that opened fire randomly. (READ MORE: The Paris Olympics Aren’t Representative of the France I Know)" . . .

Little House on the Prairie Changed My Life; Adults should embrace children’s literature.

 The Spectator

I still appreciate Nietzsche’s writings, including his prophetic foresight that a moral system severed from its theistic roots couldn’t last, but I also appreciate my mother’s sagacity in introducing me to the world of children’s classics, which provided wisdom and a wholesome break from this often bleak world. 

. . ."To my surprise, my mom was perturbed by my most recent intellectual hobby horse. She wasn’t impressed with my assurances that a good Christian could still benefit from Nietzsche’s writings. After all, this was the philosopher who infamously announced, “God is dead and we have killed him.” Although this proclamation was a lament over the West’s departure from its time-honored moral system and not a battle cry, Nietzsche still proposed finding meaning in life without Christ and my dear mother had difficulty getting over that.

"It was at this point that she made up her mind that I needed some intervention. My birthday was only a couple of months after the semester ended and she presented me with the entire box set of The Little House on the Prairie series.

"Knowing full well what she was up to, I smiled, graciously accepted the gift, and went back to reading Crime and Punishment or whatever other dark and depressing literature I was into at the time. I was a scholar. I only read deep, thought-provoking stuff. While I appreciated my mother’s intentions, I only had so much time, and reading Little House books was not on the agenda." . . .

Children’s Literature, Like Little House, Can Be a Welcome Reprieve

"Sometime later, while going through a difficult period in my life, I found the box and cracked open one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House novellas. I was hooked and read every single one. With its gently colored illustrations, simple prose, and wholesome values, I found the series the very nourishment my spirit needed. My mom was right. One cannot subsist on hardcore philosophy alone.

"So many lessons abounded in those books. The beautiful relationship between Ma and Pa Ingalls was a stellar example of sacrifice and mutual appreciation. Ma lived her stoic philosophy in times of hardship with such inspiring wisdom and perseverance, stating, “This earthly life is a battle…If it isn’t one thing to contend with, it’s another. It always has been so, and it always will be. The sooner you make up your mind to that, the better off you are, and more thankful for your pleasures.”

"Similarly, I was deeply moved by the Ingalls family’s abundant gratitude for the simple things in life. Focusing on the hard but simple tasks of planting food, doing chores, and supporting a family is a breath of fresh air in today’s world that makes life so extra, so complicated." . . .

Biden's Ominous Remarks at Return of Americans Reveal How Completely Gone He Is

 RedState

 Biden still hasn't figured out that words like "Don't" and "Stop" aren't very effective when you're viewed as weak. It didn't stop Russia from wrongfully detaining two of the three that they greeted; they were detained under Biden, although he didn't seem to understand that in bizarre comments that he made on Thursday.

"President Joe Biden went to greet Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva when they arrived back at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday night after being released by Russia in a huge prisoner swap. The West released some very bad guys in return for the release of the wrongfully detained Americans. But the bad part of the deal isn't getting as much air. 

"Biden took along Vice President Kamala Harris. But having two weak, impaired people just doubles down on the bad. If they're going to try to put this off as a "shared presidency" now, it's not going to work, in addition to being unconstitutional.  

"As we reported, in an unscripted moment where Harris had to talk without reading out of her notes from a binder, she came out with a word salad mess. 

" 'This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances," she said. Alrighty now. It's important to understand the importance of importance, don't you think that's important?" . . .

Hamas in Its Own Words

 ADL  

"Hamas sees the territory of Israel as exclusive to all the world’s Muslims (not just Palestinians), forbids a Jewish state on “any part” of the land and promotes the idea that it is the “duty for every Muslim” to reverse Israel’s existence: . . ."

 "On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, slaughtering around 1,200 men, women, children, and infants in the largest and most brutal massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas terrorists intentionally recorded their murder, rape, and torture of civilians, including around 200 foreign nationals, and took at least 240 hostages back with them to Gaza. 

The physical attack was followed by a propaganda and disinformation campaign. Knowing that Israel would have no choice but to respond to the October 7 massacre, Hamas retreated into its network of tunnels beneath the homes, schools, and hospitals of Gaza, using Palestinian civilians as human shields in order to weaponize the resulting civilian casualties. 

This left Israel with two options – either do nothing in response to the murder and kidnapping of its citizens by invading Hamas terrorists, thereby inviting more attacks, or act against Hamas as it hid behind and under its own citizens. As Hamas leaders themselves admit, Hamas sees either path as a strategic win for its campaign of terror and incitement against Israel, with the ultimate goal of Israel’s eradication. While there can be legitimate criticism of specific Israeli policies and actions during its war with Hamas, it is paramount to remember this worldview of Hamas. 

Since its founding in the late 1980s, Hamas has been promoting rhetoric and policies aimed at destroying the Jewish state of Israel and killing Jews and Israelis around the world. This is evident in their founding charter, which cites the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion forgery as “proof” of a Zionist plot to control the world. It remains true after Hamas released a new charter in 2017, which essentially simply swapped the word “Jew” out and replaced it with “Zionist” while repeating antisemitic tropes. 

The following are examples of hateful rhetoric by Hamas leaders and officials, as well as language from their charter:  

Hamas Leaders and Officials:  

Statements by Hamas officials make clear the terrorist organization’s commitment to destroying Israel and killing Jews and Israelis around the world. 

• Ismail Haniyeh in 2020: He explained that Hamas rejects ceasefire agreements by which, “Gaza would become Singapore,” preferring to remain at war with Israel until a Palestinian state is established from the River to the Sea: “We cannot, in exchange for money or projects, give up Palestine and our weapons. We will not give up the resistance... We will not recognize Israel, Palestine must stretch from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.” 
• Hamas official, Hamad Al-Regeb in an April 2023 sermon: He prayed for “annihilation” and “paralysis” of the Jews whom he described as filthy animals: “[Allah] transformed them into filthy, ugly animals like apes and pigs because of the injustice and evil they had brought about.” Al-Regeb also prayed for the ability to “get to the necks of the Jews.” 
• Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Saleh Al-Arouri in an August 2023 interview:  He expressed Hamas’ desire for “total war” with Israel: “Therefore, we are convinced that if a total conflict begins, the airspace and seaports of this entity will be shut down, and they will not be able to live without electricity, water, and communications.” . . .  Entire article here.
