Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned that suspected terrorists may be present inside the United States, criticizing immigration and vetting policies under the Biden administration and describing the situation as a national security concern.

Gabbard cited data from the National Counterterrorism Center indicating that approximately 18,000 known or suspected terrorists entered the United States during the previous administration. She said her primary concern is that additional individuals may have entered the country without being identified by authorities.

Gabbard made the remarks in an interview with Fox News over the weekend while discussing broader counterterrorism challenges facing U.S. intelligence agencies and the ongoing efforts to identify potential security threats within the country.

“The Biden administration did not take their vetting responsibilities seriously,” Gabbard said on “Saturday in America.”

The Trump administration has repeatedly criticized immigration and vetting policies implemented under the Biden administration and has cited national security concerns as justification for expanded enforcement efforts. During his second term, President Donald Trump ordered a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration.

Gabbard said that of the estimated 18,000 known or suspected terrorists identified by the National Counterterrorism Center, approximately 2,000 were Afghan nationals who entered the United States following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

More than 100,000 Afghans were evacuated during the withdrawal. Lawmakers from both parties have previously raised concerns that the rapid pace of the evacuation resulted in gaps in the vetting process for some evacuees.

New Document Drop: ‘Entire Republican Apparatus’ Targeted by Jack Smith

It’s time to see some jail time for these treasonous swamp creatures. They need to pay for what they did to do to our nation. The entire Republican party and the America loving citizens, regardless of party should want the true facts brought forward. No matter where it leads, and we all know where it started. Jail time for sure, not just a slap on the wrist. Rh

Outcry Grows over Nearly 5-Year Prison Sentence of Pro-Life Activist

Dan Hart

Lawmakers, legal experts, and analysts are decrying the nearly five-year prison sentence levied on a pro-life activist as an example of the weaponization of the federal government against citizens with disfavored political views.

On Tuesday, pro-life activist Lauren Handy was sentenced to 57 months in prison for leading a group of other activists in blockading the entrance to a Washington, D.C. abortion facility in October 2020. Handy was prosecuted by the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Rights Division along with nine other co-defendants and became the first person ever to be sentenced for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The FACE Act was originally designed to protect both pregnancy resource centers and abortion facilities, but the Biden administration has notably used the law to justify the prosecution of pro-life activists on numerous occasions ever since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

“Today’s outrageous 57-month sentence for a progressive pro-life activist is a stark reminder: Biden’s DOJ is fully weaponized against pro-life American citizens, and they are using the FACE Act to do it,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) in a statement following Handy’s sentence. “House Republicans should defund the DOJ weaponization, repeal the FACE Act, and stand up for the freedoms that we campaign on.”

On Wednesday, Peter Breen, who represents Handy in the case and serves as executive vice president and head of litigation at Thomas More Society, pointed out on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” that in addition to the FACE Act charge, the DOJ unearthed an obscure “conspiracy against rights” law to prosecute Handy.

“[T]he traditional way you deal with folks doing civil disobedience is they get a trespass charge — you get a slap on the wrist and they move on,” he noted. “I mean, [look at what] we’ve been through in the last five years or so. [O]ur cities have been burned and people weren’t even charged. And now we’re looking at people that peaceably came into a late-term abortion facility where we think we’ve got evidence of illegal abortions [as well as] actual homicides of little children that were born. And our folks are getting five years in a federal penitentiary for that. That makes no sense.”

There truly is a death culture in the United States. The radical feminist and democratic socialist have jumped into bed with a Luciferian doctrine of death to the vulnerable. Why in this modern world can we not come together on this one thing, life to the unborn? Why the need to kill? Women who have been given the precious ability, by God , to bring forth life are always at the forefront of pushing the extremes of killing babies. America has become a bloody nation. How long will God hold back his anger and judgement? God have mercy on us! Rh

Biden Administration’s Double Cross

The land that the nation of Israel sits on now, and other land surrounding present day Israel was given to them to possess eternally by the Lord God Almighty.  No one will fare well that attempts to double cross or pressure Israel to divide or give up their eternal inheritance.  Enter the Biden Administration with the same old song and dance.  

“This is not just about dealing with Hamas in terms of defeating it physically. It is about making sure that it can’t repeat what it did on October 7, but it is also about defeating an idea — a perverted idea… that we have to combat with a better idea… with a better vision for what that future can be and demonstrating that we’re committed to achieving [it],” Blinken says. Unacceptable!

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken argues that the goal of the war cannot only be to defeat Hamas but also to create a brighter future that includes a two-state solution

In other Mid East developments,  Israeli journalist Ben Caspit reported on Sunday evening that originally the attack on Oct. 7th was planned to occur during the Passover Seder  meal.  It seems Iran paused the attack to further discussions on the $6 Billion given to Iran.  Again another weak and feckless Biden Administration move that allows Iran’s proxy war against Israel to continue and strengthens their nuclear capabilities.  

This needs to be understood, Obama/Biden have always been on the side of the Islamist, and expect Israel to acquiesce to concessions for a pseudo peace prospect.  Peace only comes when the Prince of Peace arrives!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Iran and Turkey Pursue Renewed Relationship Following Departure of Trump Administration @BeholdIsrael.org

The two countries are committed to strengthening their ties following the transition out of the Trump era; Iran’s foreign minister visited Turkey late this week to discuss several matters; Turkey’s foreign minister calls on the Biden administration to withdraw Trump era sanctions.

Amid the reality of a new US administration, the Iranian regime and Turkey are motioning to re-solidify their relationship, ultimately involving other nations moving forward. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif visited Turkey this week and met with several Turkish officials belonging to the Foreign Ministry to discuss regional stability.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that within Zarif’s visit, “all aspects of our bilateral relations will be discussed and views on regional and international issues will be exchanged.”

The Trump administration expressed willingness to work with the Turkish government over the last four years, putting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime in a difficult position regarding his relationship with the Iranians. In contrast, the White House emphasized a ‘maximum pressure’ campaign towards the Islamic Republic over the last four years following the US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

According to Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, “Turkey hopes that the newly elected Biden administration in the U.S. will return to the nuclear agreement with Iran and withdraw sanctions on the Iranian people.” In essence, in the last four years, Turkey has been torn between protecting its relationship with Iran and leveraging its diplomatic relations with the US.

Middle East

UPDATE: Twin suicide bombs rocked a busy market in central Baghdad on Thursday morning, killing at least 28 people and injuring 73 others, a security official told CNN.

Not my favorite source, but under Biden Middle East becomes a powder keg again.
