Not everyone is a Middle East expert. In fact, few Americans are. But most if not all Americans should have some depth of knowledge about the Middle Eastern terrorist group Hezb'allah (translated as "party of god," which is often written as "Hezbollah").
We should be aware (because it should be taught and media should remind us) that on October 23, 1983, Hezb'allah murdered 241 U.S. servicemen and 64 others when it bombed the barracks housing the multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, Lebanon. French servicemen and civilians were killed in the bombing as well. According to Marine Times: "The bombing killed 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers, and was the deadliest day the Marine Corps has seen since the fight for Iwo Jima, Japan, during World War II."
That alone should be reason enough for us — and particularly a journalist such as Virginia Heffernan who invokes the group — to know plenty about Hezb'allah. But as is often heard on commercials for new cooking gadgets: "Wait, there's more."
On April 18, 1983, a group tied to Hezb'allah bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut. This time, 63 were murdered, including 17 Americans.
On June 25, 1996, Hezb'allah (Hezb'allah al-Hejaz — with the same ideology and inspiration as Lebanon's Hezb'allah) struck again — this time bombing Khobar Towers, a complex in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Some 2,000 U.S. military personnel lived there while participating in Operation Southern Watch, which was enforcing the "no-fly zone" in southern Iraq. The attack left 19 American Air Force personnel murdered and 498 of many nationalities wounded.

When I saw the headline, first thing I thought of was dems or fbi

Hm. I thought it was BLM they were referring to.
Nope. I can’t recall them or pantyfa ever being vilified by the lame stream media. Gotten a fweedom lovin’ pass since day one.
I thought we were still trying to get to the bottom of the NASCAR garage door racist noose rope pulls.
As Bill Whittle has repeatedly said: BLM and Antifa are simply street muscle for the Democrat Party.
That is all they are.
All paid for by Soros, Big Business extortions and virtue signalers, our tax money in grants, Communist China, and useful idiots who donate at all levels from all countries.
My only problem this year is...I am a driver for Doordash. This year, Doordash has a car in the race for the first time. Guess who is driving for Doordash?

Well, crap.
I understand NASCAR has gone woke too, but...I don't fault people who still watch sports...I feel that is a personal decision, and not my business, but...it seems like no matter what avenue you take, they are bound and determined to ruin it for you.
Almost as if they just want to see how much you can really take.
“That is all they are.” Well they’ve allegedly done a crap load of destruction for that. Oh, and barely anyone charged/prosecuted. Probably been more 1/6/2021 arrests than all the other mostly peaceful PROtests.
Yes. That is one of the most destructive and corrosive things apart from the outright fraud-that there are two sets of laws now, depending on your politics.
