In January 2013, Barack Obama said: “We achieved our central goal — or have come very close to achieving our central goal, which is to de-capacitate al-Qaeda, to dismantle them, to make sure that they can’t attack us again.” He said this, by the way, in the context of the war in Afghanistan, which so […]
Top State Department official: Taliban jihadis have “legitimate grievances”
This appeasement and pandering has no business being in the Trump State Department. Drain the swamp, already. “Top State Official: Taliban Jihadists Have ‘Legitimate Grievances,’” by Edwin Mora, Breitbart, March 9, 2018: WASHINGTON, DC — The United States is willing to address the “legitimate grievances” of Afghan Taliban terrorists during peace negotiations, a top U.S. […]
Trump administration threatens to shut down Palestinian office in DC
Unless the “Palestinians” get serious about making peace with Israel. So watch for a massive “War is Deceit” initiative from the “Palestinians” in the coming months. “Trump Admin Threatens To Shut Down Palestinian Office In DC,” by Jonah Bennett, Daily Caller, November 18, 2017: The Trump administration said Friday it will shut down the Palestinian […]
Trump State Department blames Israel for terrorism, claims “Palestinians” rarely incite attacks
No doubt Obama appointees and loyalists are responsible for this report, but it came from Trump’s State Department nonetheless, and he owns it. This is a swamp that should long ago have been drained. “State Dept. Blames Israel for Terrorism, Claims Palestinians Rarely Incite Attacks,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, July 20, 2017: The […]
Tillerson declines to host Ramadan event at State Department
This may signal an end to nearly two decades of Islamopandering. If it weren’t for international jihad terrorism, there would never have been these government Ramadan observances, which are an effort to show Muslims that we really aren’t that bad, so please don’t kill us. These events are a result of the analysis that places […]
Trump bringing in Syrian refugees at more than twice the rate Obama did
“Since Trump was inaugurated, 1,401 Syrian refugees have been resettled, State Department figures as of Wednesday reveal. This is more than double the 625 Syrian refugees resettled under President Obama in the same time frame last year.” “’Bad, bad things are gonna happen,’ Trump said about Syrian refugee resettlement at an August rally.” Yes, they are, Mr. […]
Iran deal architect is now running Tehran policy at the State Department
The Iran deal essentially green-lights Iran’s nuclear program and led to Obama showering billions of dollars upon the Islamic Republic. Why is Sahar Nowrouzzadeh still in the State Department at all, much less being in charge of Iran policy planning? Trump ran for the presidency denouncing the Iran deal. The Trump administration is clearly in […]
Robert Spencer: Champagne Time! It’s a “Bloodbath” at the State Department
At least one swamp appears to be being drained. My latest over at The Geller Report: “It’s a bloodbath at the State Department,” the New York Post hyperventilated last Friday: “Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.” In Donald Trump’s America, so much has happened so […]
In final hours in office, Obama sent $221,000,000 to the “Palestinians”
Making sure, in one of his last acts, to finance calls for the destruction of Israel, as well as for genocide and murder of Israelis. “US sent $221 million to Palestinians in Obama’s last hours,” by Matthew Lee and Richard Lardner, Associated Press, January 23, 2017: WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials say the Obama administration in […]
Hillary gave visa to Egyptian jihadist to visit State Department, White House and lobby for jihad bomb plotter’s release
Hani Noor Eldin was on a “divine mission” to negotiate the release of the Blind Sheikh, who wasn’t simply a member of the terror group Gamaa Islamiya — a designated terror group since the Clinton era — but its preeminent spiritual leader, as well as the ringleader of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot. […]
State Dept: “We continue to urge Pakistan to take actions to combat all terrorist groups operating on its soil”
How long will it be before someone — anyone — in the Washington establishment wakes up and realizes that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is never going to “take actions to combat and delegitimize all terrorist groups operating on its soil”? How long will the U.S. keep pouring billions into Pakistan hoping this will happen, […]
State Dept admits jihadis have posed as refugees to enter US, still plans to admit more
What could possibly go wrong? Better dead Americans in jihad attacks than political incorrectness and a rejection of “multiculturalism” and “diversity.” “State Department: Jihadis Have Posed As Refugees To Enter US,” by Rachel Stoltzfoos, Daily Caller, September 21, 2016: Islamic State terrorists have tried to pose as refugees in order to gain admittance to the […]
Iran humiliates Obama with footage of $400 million ransom for hostages
A liar exposed in his lie by a nation that considers itself to be at war with the United States (skeptical? Get the details in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran), and the President of the United States to be a fool and a useful idiot for aiding them in that war. “Iran […]
White House map shows Islamic State still expanding, contradicting public claims
“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” said Obama, while they’re expanding all over the world. And the Pentagon has previously been caught publishing maps that hid the territorial gains the Islamic State had made in Iraq and Syria. This administration has proven itself to be completely untrustworthy regarding not only the motivating ideology of jihad […]
Robert Spencer, PJM: State Dept Triples Budget of Failed Program to Dissuade Jihadis
Throwing bad money after worse money — our money, of course. My latest in PJ Media: Even in its final months, the Obama administration continues to pour taxpayer money into its disastrous projects designed to “counter violent extremism.” The projects have failed, and were foredoomed to fail because of the administration’s policy of denying and […]
State Dept spends $16 million on totally ineffective program to dissuade jihadis
This New York Times story is about how the State Department’s appeals to jihadis have switched from snark to emotion. It notes that the program has thus far been completely ineffective, but has no idea why. In reality, both the snarky and the emotional versions of this program are doomed to failure because they manifest […]
State Department admits it asks only Israel for “restraint” after terror attacks
“And frankly — and I’m not pointing the finger at anyone else, but if another country, we felt, were taking severe or draconian measures in the wake of some kind of attack, we might also comment.” So State Department spokesman Mark Toner would have us believe that only Israel takes severe and draconian measures after […]
Iran spends $1.7 billion in U.S. taxpayer funds to boost its military
Your tax dollars at work, aiding the military of a state that routinely has its citizens chant “Death to America!” This money will also go to aid Hizballah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and that will result in more jihad murders, primarily of Israeli civiians. All of this is courtesy Barack Obama and John Kerry. How […]
State Department sets new single-day record for Muslim migrant approvals
“Officials insisted they’re moving faster because they’re getting better at screening.” This is impossible. How can they get better at screening when the Islamic State has told its operatives to appear moderate and secular, and when they deliberately recruit people who don’t have criminal records, so that they don’t show up in databases? How can […]
State Department wants to bring in 1,500 Muslim migrants every month
What could possibly go wrong? Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have recently come to Europe claiming to be […]
