Did terrorists just scout out a US Marine base?
Amazingly, Americans have no idea one way or the other — despite a troubling incident this month suggesting that’s exactly what happened.
In fact, it took nearly two weeks for top brass at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia just to alert its own rank-and-file about an attempt by two Jordanians to drive their box truck onto the base before being blocked by guards.
That’s outrageous enough, yet the story still remains far from clear.
Indeed, a mountain of questions need answers.

Biden’s deep state is burying this story, it’s a major negative for Biden and must be silenced.
President Trump should ask Biden about this at the debate. Ignore whatever the talking head asks, turn to Biden and remind him about this incident and the border invasion, tell him he has failed to keep Americans safe, and ask him to resign.
In fact he should ignore all questions to grill Biden on his failings, and each time ask him to resign. In disgrace.
That waa at least 10 days ago. I saw the story, and immediately saw the implications, but I’m a News Hound.
I read news like most guys read the Sports.
Most people seem content just skimming the Trending Topics du jour.
One would hope that "deport" really means "remove from the face of the planet."
So, what’s the story behind the story that no one is reporting?
There is no free speech anywhere the internet is.
The media lies.
Now the media is lying for the politicians.
“The most insidious power the media has, is the power to ignore.” — Chris Plante, WMAL, DC.
One aspect is that it appears the Marines on gate duty failed to protect that entry. I’m rather certain they have guns.
Or, were they inhibited to act, due to some DEI mythologies?
Similar to a street Cop allowing themselves to be pistol whipped or fired upon by an assailant, and never once daring to reach for their guns, b/c they are afraid of being accused of some kind of phobia, then losing their jobs.
Thanks
"The Jordanian pair drove a box truck up to the Fuller Road Gate of Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, where they were stopped by military sentries on May 3."
It's important to note that while anyone can approach the gate of a Marine Base, gaining access is different. In this case, the individuals in question likely attempted to challenge the requirement of proper ID for entry. However, the gate's security measures are robust, activated instantly, they can stop a semi-truck from breaking through the barriers.
At our local base, I noticed an uptick in cars diverted off the base at the gate. I asked a Marine on duty. He said it has been like that for a while. People are not paying attention or are new to the area and are forced to exit off the highway. Once they exit, there is no way to turn around except at the gate. Some think a military base is a tourist attraction, and some think they can just drive on because their relative is stationed there.
After 9-11, many security features were added to front gates, which is why you see so many major military installations with newly built gates. Can terrorists get on base? Absolutely, but they will not force their way through the front gate.
I appreciate the explanation.
In California, maybe they just want a chance at getting that cheap NEX gas? Which isn't really that much cheaper than gas out in town. Maybe a dime or two.
