Obama’s Terror Failures
In the past 24 hours, we have learned a lot more about New York City bomber Ahmad Khan Rahami.
- His ex-wife says he hates America, the military and homosexuals.
- He has a criminal record, including a domestic dispute.
- His father says he called the FBI to warn his son was radicalized.
- He made multiple trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan. On one trip, he married a new wife. She left the United States days ago and is currently being held in the United Arab Emirates. Remember the wife of the Orlando shooter? She disappeared too.
- One of his brothers posted this on Facebook: “I bring the men who desire death as ardently as you desire life.” That’s a quote from Khalid al-Walid, one of Muhammad’s generals.Yet with all these markers the FBI did not have Ahmad Khan Rahami on a watch list.
The first temptation is to excoriate the FBI because this is not the agency’s first failure. There were warnings about the Tsarnaev brothers. They were interviewed.
There were warnings about the Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen. The FBI interviewed him too.
Warnings about Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan were also ignored.
But it’s not the FBI’s fault. They have an almost impossible job. We’ve been told there are ISIS investigations going on in every state.
Yet the Obama Administration, its left-wing media allies, and even some elements of the Republican Party, have continued to bring in hundreds of thousands of people who may be fertile recruiting ground for Islamic supremacists. While we may catch some, we are not going to be able to catch every Islamic supremacist.
So what do we do? Continue bringing in more potential jihadists? Not unless we want to end up like France, which has 15,000 jihadis roaming the country.
Immigration security is national security. We have got to call a time out until we can figure out how to identify the potential murderers.
If we don’t, we are all going to end up living in a police state. There will be more demands for more law enforcement if these attacks continue. I urge our libertarian friends to join us, and jettison the idiotic idea that people should be able to freely cross borders in an age of Islamic supremacist terror.
The NFL’s Circus Of Political Correctness
Sports used to be a bastion of conservative mores and traditional values such as hard work, teamwork, competition and, yes, manliness. Today, while many athletes and coaches exhibit these values, much of the business and media surrounding the industry have embraced a liberalism that not only disapproves of these values but actively seeks to eliminate them.
