Harsh truth:

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/a-line-in-the-sand-lets-be-honest-about-the-bondi-beach-bloodbath/

Last year the French think-tank Fondapol released the most comprehensive analysis of global Islamic terrorism ever produced. That study discovered that between 1979 and April 2024, Islam was responsible for 66,872 terrorist attacks globally, causing at least 249,941 deaths. The rate of these attacks has been rapidly increasingly: 84.4 per cent come from 2013 onwards.

By pure coincidence, the same period which saw a massive increase of Islamic terrorism in Western nations saw a massive increase in Muslim immigration from war-torn nations including Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Libya, along with EU-applicant Turkey and various other Muslim nations. By another remarkable coincidence, the nations which have welcomed the most Islamic refugees (France, Germany, Sweden, the UK) have seen the most Islamic terror attacks, while the nations which closed their borders to such arrivals (Poland and Hungary, both defying EU orders) have avoided such attacks.

That Europe's 'leaders' are complicit in this subterfuge should cause every citizen to rise up. American isn't coming to help you this time. Did you learn nothing from WWII???

Reddog's avatar

People found out they could vote themselves free medical care and pensions for all and now they have no economies to pay for that stuff. Then they decided to give up their national borders and heritage for the common good of Europe. Then they allowed their leaders to open the borders and flood their countries with cheap labor and people who hate them. Predictable outcome. So just how smart are those Europeans anyway?

Shrugged's avatar

"So just how smart are those Europeans anyway?"

About as 'smart' as our Congress - lobbied by the Chamber of Commerce. /sarc/

Reddog's avatar

The US Chamber of Commerce has fallen a long way. What started out well has turned into an anti-American worker organization. While that maybe what businesses who belong to them want, what does it do for the people who build and work in those businesses? It reduces hourly wages and helped to flood the country with illegals who would work for peanuts while providing nothing but a strong back. The need for increased supervision went up proportionately to the illegal force. The US Chamber is one of the most powerful lobbying org's in the country.

Shrugged's avatar

So they should be designated as a terrorist organization IMO.

Reddog's avatar

No they don’t meet that threshold. They don’t use violence, just money and lots of it. It’s kind of the dark side of capitalism I guess. We need to call it out and make sure every worker knows who is doing this. Not bad people, just twisted by greed.

Douglas Baringer's avatar

Lucas Miles book "Pagan Threat" exposes where this is headed. We must fight back. Leftist ideology is in bed with Islamism, and that is very dangerous.

Go along to get along is getting people killed. Wake up, the end is near.

N.Wallace's avatar

Right on, right on, right on.

Gail W's avatar

I agree!

But WHAT is the action you think should be taken???

I really do not know.

Douglas Baringer's avatar

First of all, we need to stop cowering like sheep when the commiecrats start shouting about racism. Whenever Islamism rears its ugly we need to call it out. These people are bent on taking our country away from us. What do you think we should do? Lay down and take it?

Ross's avatar

I really get tired of having to repeat this: culture is not race.

Islam is not a race.

Islamophobia is not racism.

It’s commonsense.

Gail W's avatar

WTH does “Lay down and take it” even mean?!?

IMO part of the reason for the Islamist incursion is because they have a clear and actionable mission statement. ( Read about Holy Land Foundation here: http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Explanatory_Memoradum.pdf)

Our side is hampered by not having the same but opposing clear and actionable mission statement.

Douglas Baringer's avatar

Give up, submit to whatever.

Gail W's avatar

None of my comments suggest I believe in surrender.

But "calling it out" has not even remotely been getting the job done as far as I can tell.

Gail W's avatar

I wouldn’t mind that at all ( except I think Jews might have also been swept up in that which I would t want) but in reality, there *are* a *FEW* Muslims, like Asra Nomani and Zhudi Jasser who seem to be very much on the side of western civilization.

LuAnn's avatar

That's true, Gail, but not enough moderate Muslims are speaking out against what is happening with their religion.

Gail W's avatar

Yep, I agree. Or that frankly they’re just aren’t that many moderate Muslims. I don’t know. So it raises the question. How do you distinguish and not allow “good“ Muslims to be swept up along with the bad ones?

TeaPartyGal's avatar

I think it was after the Gulf War, as soon as we withdrew from Iraq, the first thing the militant Islamists did was kill all the moderate clerics. There were even some "big name" prominent moderates, but they were just plain killed.

There might be a theologically moderate side to Islam, but it is a moot point, because the moderates get slaughtered and are unable to teach or promote it.

LuAnn's avatar

End all immigration for a very specific period of time.

Gail W's avatar

I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure that would be very damaging economically to certain sectors such as high-tech which is the last area we would want America to fall behind in. Other than that, I would agree with you.

Thank you for sharing that powerful article filled with truths we all need to hear

Have the police in the UK showed up yet to arrest the author of the TCW piece for telling the truth?

This is what I remember from 8 years ago, not what has recently come out by Trump 47. To paraphrase Trump 45 (for which of course he was pilloried):

“We take people from shit hole countries and they turn our country into a shit hole. They bring their problems here. “

NNTX's avatar

For comparison, I did a quick search to determine the number of deaths from various wars/armed conflicts in the same period. To noone’s surprise, a clearcut answer is not available, though it IS clear that the vast majority of deaths occurred in the ME and Africa.

Rough number is 6.4MM-9.3MM of which most was in various Middle East conflicts and a large portion in Congo conflict (2003 iirc). Much of that from disease, sadly.

In Europe, Yugoslav break up conflict resulted in 130K-200K. Figures for Russia/Ukraine are, imho, not reliably estimated at 100K; I included as much as 1MM based on other sources with which I’m familiar.

BTW, none of the above includes the figures from the most recent Israel/Gaza conflict though numbers from Syria and Yemen are estimated.

Terrorism has far too great an impact in the world. Not to mention the untold numbers of rapes and other crimes committed by girfters/criminals and unassimilable immigrants.

Kind of makes the Cold War look peaceful, doesn't it?

WTPuck's avatar

Thanks for sharing. Now I have someone else to follow.

Richard White's avatar

Link to study? In English, preferably.

JT's avatar

Here's a quick reference for Islam's reign of terror; I think the numbers are much higher over a 1400 year period. And by the way.... the reason Christopher Columbus was looking for new trade routes is because at the time, the silk road and Mediterranean trade routes were controlled by or had been destroyed by Islam and the warlords. https://grok.com/c/118bfdef-199f-4853-8311-367e48138742?rid=0e9fa122-57c3-4cd8-9f94-48de683a4767.

Your article made me wonder if the crackdown on immigration fraud can possibly result in Ilhan and her brother being “de-naturalized?!” Would that not be the coolest thing? I would love to see some noise made about that!

Jake's avatar

If I remember correctly Omar lived with her brother in Fargo, ND while she attended my alma mater NDSU. Maybe she could be tried in North Dakota?

TeaPartyGal's avatar

But isn't the Ilhan issue determined by our Executive Branch, not by Congress? So the milquetoast Republicans can't interfere if Trump's Homeland Security and other departments decide to crackdown on Ilhan?

Aaron Jones's avatar

Look up John Demjanjuk. If they can do it to him, ilhan omar should be an easy case. Demjanjuk was a WWII era situation with conflicting testimony and an inconclusive result. Israeli high-court had to overturn his conviction but the USA determined he lied on his immigration paperwork. Eventually, Demjanjuk was deported. It took quite some time.

Jeremy R's avatar

Not milquetoast republicans, evil leftist judges.

Joe LaGreca's avatar

Both - there's a reliable group of 4 or 5 RINO's that do the DEM's bidding. My congressman, Mike Lawler, is one of them.

VICKI's avatar

You all can call your reps/sen at their DC office and a flunkie will answer the phone but if you leave your name, phone number and comment they always pay attention to constituents because they want to get reelected. If they get enough calls, they will tilt that way so believe me, calling works. Yes, I worked in DC several years in lobbying.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

You're right--they do keep track of statistics on the calls and in aggregate our calls can influence them. Each office has their own 'metric'--they kind of know that for every person that calls, there are XXX number of other people who feel the same way but didn't take the time to call.

Gail W's avatar

I understand your criticism of Lawler. Do you think he could get elected in his district if he dared to be more MAGA??

NY CD16 is rated by Cook to be a D+16 seat!!

It’s SHOCKING that an R ever won NY CD16 in the first place!

But having an R hold it helps give the GOP the House majority!!

So feel GOOD about having a RINO. It helps in this instance. 👍👍

Joe LaGreca's avatar

Yes, I get that my district is a real swinger - it's flipped from "R" to "D" since we moved here in 1987: Sue Kelly (R), Jon Hall (D), Nan Hayworth (R), Sean Patrick Maloney (D), & now Lawler. I was opining that when the bring up measures to censor some of the radical DEM's, we'll always get some RINO's protecting them. The gray haired hippies up here protest Lawler regularly & I keep getting ads In the mail & when watching videos about Lawlor taking away our healthcare. I, of course, will never vote for a DEM & will settle for a RINO - but those ignorant old hippies will vote any radical.

Gail W's avatar

The only thing I can think of to help your district’s predicament is to link up with any credible conservative group (RNC, Scott Pressler‘s group that I think is called Early Vote Action, etc) to grow the Republican voter registration in CD16. It *can* be done. 😊

N.Wallace's avatar

Yes indeed. There have been a few squeaks about it but it needs to become a roar.

VICKI's avatar

At the very least. This has been the goal of Muslim thought since the beginning of time. 911 should have gotten people thinking about that but it did not. Subsequent events have been further reminders but finally now it is starting to sink in. They are the enemy. Remember when enemy or traitors to the country faced the death penalty? Think the Rosenbergs. When you see Europe it should be perfectly clear that we need to squelch this movement NOW. God Bless America!

Robert's avatar

It’s real easy.

The Muslim culture is not compatible with ours.

Assimilation must be a requirement of entry into the US.

A lengthy pause in immigration is needed.

Continued deportations of all who entered illegally and those who are abusing our system must occur as rapidly as is possible.

All efforts to prevent ICE from doing is legal job must be met with judicial enforcement.

Laws that stop Sharia law from being applied in any US city cannot be allowed.

Muslims should not be holding political office since we have empirical evidence they do not have the best interests of the US in mind.

9-11 showed us where the fight needed to be. These attacks are coming again. Between China and Muslim radicalism it’s obvious who our enemies are.

Cookie McCall's avatar

Amen to every recommendation you have made - we are way past enough is enough - it's time to look out for the interests of America or we will be as gone as the UK, France & Germany

Alan's avatar

See Don's last paragraph. Somali shops have experienced a sharp drop in business. Most of the businesses were just illegally laundering SNAP benefits.

Economics is our most effective weapon, and not just in unmasking corruption. If state governments won't cut off federally subsidized aid and benefits to illegals, cut off the federal aid to the states.

States with sanctuary cities should be cut-off now. Sanctuary cities are unconstitutional.

Stop all remittances from USA to the homelands of all immigrants not yet citizens--legal and illegal--who come from the 39 countries on Trump's list that he has halted immigration. He needs to stop remittances from all visa holders such as H-1B visas, student visas, etc. If you want to become a U.S. citizen, remittances stop till you become one.

This is a war for the survival of America. Things need to be done that were unthinkable a few short years ago. The enemy we face is openly calling for World War Next, and if it starts it will be World War Last (h/t Brigadier General (ret.) Blaine Holt).

Thank God we have a president who understands the stakes and knows how to play this game. The next 6-12 months are going to be volatile and brutal.

If you’ve ever read and understood the Koran, you’ll realize that Islam IS NOT compatible with any western civilization, especially the United States.

Islam is not a religion but a political ideology rooted in terrorism.

NO Muslim should be allowed entry into America.

I shall never touch, let alone read, that evil book. Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount informs me that I can know good people from bad “by their fruits.” Lying, murdering, committing fraud, stealing, bodily assaults, abusing children, etc……their works of evil are constant and endless.

That is who they are—against every commandment written in the Old and New Testaments. Of course, I also read (or inadvertently hear) their hateful words and I believe their words condemn them as the demon spawn that they are.

My charity for their humanity has expired for all those barbaric, evil people. I’m a grumpy oldwoman this morning!

Check out some of Jay Smith's videos about Mecca, MHMD and the Ishmaelites. Once you do, Grumpy's position will be even more obviously correct.

For those who might ask, MHMD is the name given in Aramaic and translated in Arabic as Muhammed. It is also found in Hebrew. In Hebrew it is a description for Jesus Christ and means the Blessed One.

WTPuck's avatar

Sophie's avatar

I appreciate your assistance and encouragement. However, I also have read Philippians 4:8 that says to think on pure and virtuous things. I prefer to let people, like yourself, who are better at compartmentalization of information than I am read their twisted playbook.

Jeremy R's avatar

Jay Smith has been working with the Muslims for decades. His parents were missionaries to India.

He completely destroys the stories about Muhammad, about Mecca and shows why it cannot be trusted. Still, people bent on hate continue to follow the garbage contained in the satanic verses. Yes, I know it's meant to refer to a small section of the book, but truly, it's an apt description for the entire thing.

Sophie's avatar

I know nothing of the Satanic Verses nor do I want to. I avoid polluting my soul with unnecessary information. I know enough about Mohammed and the filth he created to enslave and control people. Jay Smith and his parents sound like persons to whom people unaware of the evils of islam need to listen.

Jeremy R's avatar

Part of the inscription on the dome of the rock reads " GOD is one, he has no son. Yet in the quaran there is reference to allah having a wife and daughters. That passage is known as the satanic verses. Islam denies that Jesus is the son of GOD. They claim he was a prophet but reject everything he taught.

Aramaic is the root language of both Hebrew and Arabic. They use the same consonants but different vowels.

Some of the hadith are gibberish, but if you remove the Arab vowels and replace them with Hebrew vowels you find songs from the early Christian church.

Have a great weekend and a wonderful Christmas.

“Diversity” is never a strength. A fully assimilated people/group/unit is very much a strength. The Marine Corps certainly works best if everyone bleeds green. We supposedly require everyone in America to speak and read English; but of course libs can’t bring themselves to enforce that! Anyone rioting in America who either waves a foreign flag or yells in a foreign language should be immediately arrested and deported!

Shrugged's avatar

I agree with your premise the way it exists and forced into our school settings, but I would suggest that Diversity CAN be a strength if those who are diversified have fully assimilated. At that point, diversity is just an opinion from experience.

I think about our founders, most from other countries (quite diversified) but locked together by their vision of personal liberty. It was their joint diversity of experiencing tyranny that created this country and THEY brought forth a 'diversified' version of freedom.

Scott L's avatar

I fully agree that a diversity of backgrounds and experiences can be s strength … but only if everyone is fully assimilated! I would argue that the reason it took so long to get things done (drafting the Constitution for example) was because it took the founders so long to assimilate themselves!

The makers of our constitution didn't do enough in treating the issue of religion.

I hadn’t thought of that but you’re right. And it’s a cruel way to kill those animals as I understand it - they slit their throats and let them bleed out. One more reason that PETA and the ASPCA should be on it. One more reason to loathe Muslims.

The Muslims take over public spaces 1st, assaulting/raping infidel swine, throwing acid onto uncovered females, threatening females generally, "praying" en masse on streets, parks, etc., stealing from retail shops, and committing most anything they can think of to show their dominance and how they can damage/destroy anyone else at will. This is what they've done for 1500 years. Western EU is gone, as they have allied with the anarcho-communists who control most all institutions, public and private, and see the Muslims as their allies in destroying Christianity/Western societies, a dream they've had since the creep Marx put pen to paper. Things here will not get better, only worse unless all of us see the threat Muslims pose without any benefit.

Jeremy R's avatar

The communists are using the muslims as cannon fodder and hope they will be able to control them after they kill us.

"The Communists....hope they will be able to control them after they kill us". However, in that case, history has proven over the centuries that the Communists will be the last ones lined up against the walls.

What the Muslims did in Iran is instructive to what is occurring now. They allied with the anarcho-communists, gays, lesbians, Jews, secular Iranians to overthrow the Shah and destroy his government and the society. Once they consolidated power, they rounded up their erstwhile allies and murdered them. Estimates are 20k-30k were killed, mostly in very brutal fashion after torture/rape. No one know, as they were all extra-judicial. That is what is happening now and will only increase.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Just like Lenin did after the Communists took power in Russia. The first group they purged (killed) was from academia--who had served as their useful idiots in promoting Communism.

The Left/Communists have made "a deal with the devil". It was stupid to do so and it will not end well for them. They are fantasizing in la-la-land if they think they will be able to control the Muslims in any coalition.

Most stealing of the kind seen in Minnesota requires willful ignorance on the part of a number of people. While not actively involved in the crimes they had some inkling or perhaps firsthand knowledge. Most would claim fear of reprisal from criminal gangs for why they didn't come forward. Seeing that the discovery craters the efforts of more well meaning enterprise owners might serve as a lesson. Better to excise the cancer before it attacks innocents.

I talked to a business guy here who immigrated from Somalia in his early thirties. He is now about 70. He was educated and worked as a contract officer for a small ship building company. He said his hardest job was to certify the parts going into the ships being built. People would substitute cheap knockoffs for the parts specified in the contracts and sell the real parts for a profit. He said this activity reflected their culture and was not unusual at all. He left and applied for citizenship here because authorities wouldn’t prosecute the thefts. He openly said that stealing was a way of life in that culture and he saw no future for that country. We should pay attention.

I advocate for holding the bureaucracy responsible for almost all fraud. I'd give them a 1% error rate, as no one is perfect. Anything beyond that, everyone in that program, including first level workers, supervisors, managers, and all the way up to the governor would be responsible for paying back the fraud. First line workers would be assessed at 1x, supervisors at 2x, third line at 3x, etc. Monthly audits and monthly paybacks.

For example, 100(x1) first line workers, 10(x2) supervisors, 1(x3) manager, and $50,000 fraud. Payment share would be $50,000/123(100 + 20 +3).

Make government workers responsible for their actions, or non-actions.

Reward the auditors with 10% of the recovered funds.

Auditors lack subpoena power. So getting data might require voluntary cooperation from thieves. Good luck with that.

Part of the legislation would be to grant auditors that power, without the need of subpoena power.

These programs are all people spending other people's money on other people. Nobody in charge really cares, particularly if the recipients complain and can spin it as some prejudice "ism." Who wants to be branded as some kind of bigot, investigated, etc.? If you are the person handing out the cash and you start restricting the funds, well, fewer dollars require fewer oversight employees. Maybe you or your friends will be laid off. If your recipients come under suspicion it might come back on you so better to help them evade if they are stealing, once you find out they might be. You a see how all this favors fraud.

Start with congress first and work down from there.

I’m probably going to get a lot of flak for this, but hear me out.

First, I wholeheartedly believe deportation is a national security imperative and applaud the courage, and bravery of Trump and his administration in having the sheer guts to perform that Herculean task.

That said, winning back the House and Senate this 2026 election is, to me, also a National Security imperative. If we lose that, we stand to lose nearly everything we’ve gained thus far.

There is nothing more fickle than a voter. Mass immigration was one of the top three issues that got Trump elected in 2024. Trump then succeeded within his first ten months to lock down our border, put a stop to the invasion, and set about to deport the worst of the worst. We all know how that last effort has been met by the Left, creating chaos and division and fear. That didn’t come as a great surprise.

But that being said, it has caused a sizable rift, and fear - no matter how unrealistic - in many of those new Trump voters who came over to help sweep Trump into office.

Since the border has been sealed, the immigration issue has moved well down the list of what voters are concerned about now.

It’s the economy that is front and center now.

I think it would behoove the Trump administration to move much more judiciously and stealthily in its ICE efforts during these next critical months, and purposefully direct its focus much more on all it is doing and going to do to raise all income boats, with a strong emphasis on condemning democrats for all that they’ve done which created the mess in the first place and how this administration is working to fix and change that.

Yes, illegal immigration, and its burdensome costs are part of that message, but not top of mind to voters.

Announcing a plan to go after naturalized citizens NOW, no matter that it is targeting the worst of the worst, is terrible timing, and would be a totally unforced error in my opinion. It would give the Dems a huge card to play, proclaiming, “See! He’s going to deport American citizens! He’s a tyrant!!” No matter how false and erroneous that is it will be splashed actoss every screen and front page for months. And it will instill a a false fear in many voters, particularly in the Hispanic and black communities. We simply cannot afford the loss of those voters.

Once we have secured the House and Senate in November, the administration will be more empowered than ever to fulfill its agenda. It sucks to have to play such games, but this election is for all the marbles. If we can secure that win, the following two years, and hopefully eight more after that, we will have a fighting chance to fully change the trajectory of this country back to its original purpose.

No flak at all--you are accurate and practical. The deportations and some other expanded measures can continue with quiet persistence and more discretion.

The fanfare can be focused on exposing and prosecuting the criminal abuse of America's charity programs by Somalians and others (per CFP, DOJ just indicted $7 million SNAP fraud by Haitians), AND the cooperation of Democrats in these frauds.

Yes it is a powerful angle in exposing how immigration has huge economic impacts. And it s not just happening in MN. It’s nationwide. It is a good tie-in to the overall economic message that needs to be pounded home. Ending corruption saves taxpayers dollars.

Amen--we are getting floods of information now on the magnitude of corruption in the Blue states. I know Red States have fraud in the charity programs as well, but the scale of fraud in the Blue States is unbelievable. Plus the fraud of 315,000 illegal Georgia votes--that affected so many things--Biden got in, Communist Senator Raphael Warnock got in, etc.

Americans do value fairness, and all this fraud by Democrats and "immigrants" is an important 80-20 issue in OUR favor.

"That said, winning back the House and Senate this 2026 election is, to me, also a National Security imperative. If we lose that, we stand to lose nearly everything we’ve gained thus far."

Our biggest enemy to meeting this goal are the RINOs and moderate Republicans who could do a hell of a lot more to make this top-mind-awareness among the populace and help with correcting redistricting fraud (fraud in the census).

I am skeptical at this point that we will not lose the House. We can't even pull off fair redistricting to correct the decades of fraudulent districting done by Democrats. A quick look at New England states where R's have zero representation let's us see how far left this has gone. We can't rely on anyone in Congress to help and the media engine will also do their part to make MAGA look like terrorists.

I kind of look at it like this: in this war we are currently engaged in to restore the Republic there are three main hills that need to be conquered, those being the three branches of government.

We have conquered the Executive, but the next one must be the Legislative, Congress. That’s what this election is about.

By securing that with hopefully new, fresh, MAGA-aligned members, we can move on to the last hill: the Judicial.

We need to capture all three if we’re ever to have a snowballs chance in hell of saving this country.

That’s why winning back the Congress has to be Priority #1 right now.

PDJT has a plan ready to roll after the first of the year and it will bring and keep voters to the red side. The cabinet will be fully involved with each department stressing taxpayer benefits from said department. Just continue the mission to recruit as if our lives depend on it and we will assist in the plans success. jus mho
