“During the blessed last 10 days of Ramadan, we celebrate our Administration’s incredible Muslim team,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced, posing on the steps of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with some of the most controversial figures in the administration.

In her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris mentioned foreign policy and national security in brief, broad, general themes: support for Israel and for Palestinian self-determination, and work toward a ceasefire of the ongoing conflict in Gaza; support for Ukraine in its war against Russia; support for border security but welcoming immigrants; ensuring America has the “strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world”; support for NATO; and waging tech competition with China.

America is under attack from within, and most of the public is either unaware or unwilling to confront this growing danger. We are not just facing an ideological war—this is a coordinated, well-funded effort to dismantle American values, destroy our Constitution, and replace it with an Islamic regime. At the forefront of this movement is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas-linked organization whose leader, Nihad Awad, has made no secret of his desire to see America fall.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released the results of a survey on Friday showing that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Green Party nominee Dr. Jill Stein are virtually tied as the top presidential choice among Muslim voters. CAIR, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., published the results last week in collaboration with Molitical Consulting LLC. According to the report’s methodology, the survey targeted a stratified random sample of 40,000 registered Muslim voters via text from August 25 to August 27, with 1,478 responses received, of which 1,076 were matched to a national voter file. The...

Gruesome details revealed in West Bank terrorist home-invasion murder. Military prosecution charges the Hamas operative with murder for targeting Yohai Avni because he was Jewish, acknowledging a nationalist motive after 51 days and intense family pressure, marking it as a terrorist act. In a dramatic, last-minute turn, the military prosecution charged the terrorist responsible for the murder of Yohai Avni, a 40-year-old resident of Givon HaHadasha in the West Bank, with committing the crime "because the victim was Jewish." This nationalist motive was added to the indictment just hours before it was presented in military court Tuesday morning, marking the...

Arab-American YouTuber Jad Manon reported on Arab immigration into the U.S. from Mexico in an August 1, 2024 video. He showcased the process Arabs must go through in order to cross into the United States, both legally and illegally. He explained that Arabs who are caught crossing into the U.S. illegally can ask for asylum status, while Mexicans are sent back to prison in Mexico. Since October 2023, border agents caught 93 suspected terrorists attempting to cross the southern border. Most recently, Omar Shehada, a Palestinian from the West Bank whose name appears on a terror watchlist was caught at...

Roughly 100,000 far-left, Israel-hating protesters will be descending on Chicago this week, sowing chaos as Democratic leaders rally around their new presidential ticket. At least seven large rallies and marches are set to take place in the Windy City while the McCormick Place Convention Center hosts Democratic National Convention, organizers said. And other rallies are also expected even though their organizers have not scored necessary city permits. The causes run the gamut of radical leftist causes, including backing Hamas terrorists and ending US aid to Israel. The convention runs Monday through Thursday, but the protests begin Sunday with a march...

And he might be the next attorney general. When the new administration was looking for an attorney general, Ben Crump, the ultimate BLM lawyer who represented the families of George Floyd, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and nearly every BLM case, recommended Tony West. Al Sharpton also mentioned West.West, Crump argued, had been the third-highest ranking official in the Obama DOJ, “led various efforts to reduce racial bias, improve procedural fairness, strengthen the relationship between communities of color and law enforcement, and hold police departments accountable.”Or as the New York Times put it, West “launched an investigation into the 2014 shooting...

Susan Wild, the Democrat Pennsylvania congresswoman in one of the country’s tightest House races, has privately and repeatedly trashed working-class conservative voters in her district as bigots who "drank the Trump Kool-Aid." But in public, the Pennsylvania Democrat has drastically moderated her positions on hot-button issues as she seeks reelection in her battleground district. Earlier this year, Wild was caught on a private conference call saying she was "dismayed" that her eastern Pennsylvania district was redrawn in 2022 to include Carbon County, which she lamented had transformed from a "working class blue district" to a "red county." And on her...

Maya Harris, Kamala’s sister, a radical ACLU activist, ran her 2020 presidential campaign. Maya’s husband, Tony West, who formerly served as the lawyer for John Walker Lindh, the American Taliban, is playing a major role in her current presidential campaign. Meena Harris, Maya’s daughter (but not West’s daughter), who is very close to Kamala, has tweeted in support of the pro-Hamas encampments and spread false claims of atrocities against Israel. All of this provides a certain amount of background about Kamala’s views from some of the most important people in her life who have also served as close advisers to...

After 9/11, Nasrina Bargzie, an Afghan Muslim immigrant, was interviewed by law enforcement over troubling comments on the War on Terror reported by her friends. Today she’s the Deputy Counsel to Vice President Kamala Harris. After coming to America from a wealthy family in Kandahar, later a stronghold of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Nasrina Bargzie was raised in Concord, CA, one of the state’s hubs for Afghan migrants, and quickly got involved in anti-American and pro-terrorist activism. In 2001, while attending college, she was interrogated by the FBI about comments she had made to her friends. It’s unknown what...

A rally for Kamala Harris in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday reportedly ended in disaster with thousands stranded while certain staffers were brought to tears.

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ NEW: Kamala VP pick Tim Walz proudly posed with mastermind behind pro-Hamas riots on American campuses following Oct. 7 massacre of Israelis and Americans. (Hatem Bazian, whose group is under terror investigation, is in scarf standing to the left of Walz):

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) vowed revenge on a top pro-Israel PAC after she lost the primary in her reelection campaign on Tuesday. The group boosted her opponent in a tightly contested race, knocking off a second member of the progressive “squad.” The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) super PAC, United Democracy Project, was a top funder of her opponent, St. Louis County District Attorney Wesley Bell. Bush was harshly criticized for her outspoken criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza. Bush said in a fiery speech after her loss that leaving Congress will only “takes some strings off.” “Because now...

Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee by default, did what her predecessor President Joe Biden only dreamed of when she chose Governor Mike Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate: she got Republicans and the far-Left anti-Israel “Squad” to agree on something. In the hours after media began reporting that Walz was Harris’ final choice — despite some rumblings that she might choose critical swing-state Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) — liberal “Squad” members cheered the addition to the party’s ticket, and Republicans cheered what they viewed as an unforced error that could make the path...

The pro-Palestinian activists who disrupted campuses across the nation are plotting their return for the new academic year. Demonstrators say all forms of protest are still on the table, despite the more than 2,000 arrests so far, as students try to figure out a new strategy to demand their schools divest from Israel, among other goals. “What we will see [is] the students will continue their activism, will continue doing what they’ve done in conventional and unconventional ways. So not only protests, not only encampments, kind of any — any available means necessary to push Columbia to divest from from...

A vocal anti-Israel activist, who has made several donations to Rep. Rashida Tlaib's, D-Mich., House campaigns, mourned the assassination of a top Hamas leader on Wednesday, saying his "martyrdom is not in vain."
