Texas, the Lone Star State, a bastion of freedom, faith, and rugged individualism, is facing a threat that chills the blood of every patriot who calls this land home. Reports are mounting – whispers turning into roars – that Islamic influence is creeping into our state, not through open conquest, but through an insidious, calculated expansion that threatens the very soul of Texas. The latest flashpoint? The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) and its sprawling 402-acre “EPIC City” project in Collin County are now under investigation by the Texas State Securities Board for potential fraud and violations of state law....

The US is expelling South Africa's ambassador to Washington, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio describing him as a "race-baiting politician". In a post on X, Rubio accused Ebrahim Rasool of hating the US and President Donald Trump, and said the ambassador was "no longer welcome in our great country". The office for South Africa's president on Saturday called the decision "regrettable", adding that the country remained committed to building a mutually beneficial relationship with the US. The rare move by the US marks the latest development in rising tensions between the two countries. While lower-ranking diplomats are sometimes expelled,...

"The terrorists are killing everyone. Children, women, teenagers, old people — just killing," a Syrian Christian said in a video posted to X today. "Please, please, please — the media is not showing you anything." The slaughter isn't limited to Christians, as members of the Alawite faith are also being murdered by the forces in control of most of post-Assad Syria. To be fair, the whole sordid mess seems to have kicked off last week as Assad regime dead-enders (the Assad family is Alawite, a syncretic religion with Muslim, Christian, and other elements) with attacks that "included killings and mass...

A federal judge in Manhattan ruled that anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil is not to be deported "unless and until the Court orders otherwise," on Monday. Khalil, who led anti-Israel protests and encampments on Columbia University's campus, was taken into custody on the Upper West Side in New York City on Saturday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that he was a former Columbia graduate student who "led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization." The judge ordered a hearing for Wednesday. This after Khalil's lawyer argued their client had been detained illegally and should be released. Politicians have...

The news out of Syria is nothing short of horrific, and it provides a fresh illustration of what a catastrophic failure the Obama strategy ... “hundreds of Christians, including Greek Orthodox, and Alawites have been killed after clashes broke out on Thursday in the Latakia and Tartous regions on Syria’s Mediterranean coast ... That death toll may be a tragic underestimation . ... the death toll could be as high as 1,800, mostly Alawites, but also Christians.” The perpetrators are members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamic jihad group that toppled the Assad regime and took control of Syria several...

Like the eco-freaks who keep vandalizing priceless artwork in the name of "the environment," pro-Hamas extremists think that violence and destruction will attract people to their cause. We've seen them harassing Jewish students and participating in mob violence on college campuses across our country, and we've seen them on our city streets as they shut down traffic and sow chaos. Notice one thing they never chant? "Free the hostages, Hamas!" No, they are so consumed by their hatred for Israel that they don't care what atrocities the terrorists commit.They were at it again Friday night, tearing up the famed Trump-owned...

“Because of our unity, we have three Muslim councilmembers sitting on the council at the same time. And because of our unity, one of our brothers, who was the councilman of the Sixth Ward, is now representing us in the 35th legislative district.” — Councilman Shahin Khalique A shocking transformation is unfolding in Paterson, New Jersey, where local officials are rapidly reshaping the city into an Islamic stronghold. Once a beacon of American industry and blue-collar resilience, Paterson has become a case study in how unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering can erode a city’s original identity....

Islamic populations are said to have lower IQs due to inbreeding. This characteristic may extend to the UK, as Two-Tier Keir and friends progressively impose Islam. Via Daily Mail: Keir Starmer [on Wednesday] signalled Labour would block a Tory MP’s bid to introduce a legal ban on first cousins being able to marry in England and Wales. … Current laws state the prohibited degrees of relationship for marriage include those to a sibling, parent or child, but not marriages between first cousins. As progressivism progresses, existing laws will be repealed as necessary to conform to Muslim custom. Conservative MP shadow...

The more we learn about John Brennan and the other swamp creatures, aka the 50 intelligence agents who signed off on the Hunter Biden laptop letter, the more we understand why and support Trump removing their security clearance. For years, we felt as if we were the crazies talking about the deep state and how they were working to control our elections but now that everything is out in the open, we're finding that perhaps we weren't so crazy after all. Especially when you see leaked emails like this one where Brennan admits everything they were doing was to help...

After a New Orleans terrorist attack by an ISIS supporter from Houston, Texas, and amid intensifying warnings of Islamic terrorist threats within the U.S., a resurfaced clip showing hundreds of American children in Houston wearing traditional Islamic dress, chanting references to Iran’s supreme leader, pledging allegiance to him, and praising martyrdom has reignited concerns over growing homegrown Islamic extremism.

One day when you need me, I will be your martyr" The original Persian song also references slain Iranian General Qassim Soleimani with one...

Germany is gone. Germany has wiped itself out. Numbers like these show how quickly mass migration can eliminate a country’s future. In Germany, 42% of people under age 15 were either foreign-born or had at least one foreign-born parent Not all of these are third worlders. Germany, like the rest of Europe, has a lot of Eastern European immigrants. And it always did. When I was in Europe, I would find the number of ‘More-German-Than-Thou-Germans’ sneering at ‘Auslanders’ while their own last names were clearly Eastern European like Kapusta a little ridiculous. The numbers have increased though. Germany can absorb...

Soaring knife crime in Germany, which many police officials openly say is directly tied to mass immigration, has now resulted in warrantless searches at German Christmas markets. In a news segment produced by state media broadcaster SWR, the clip reveals German police conducting controls on a German Christmas market in Ludwigshafen, where police were filmed confiscating a pocket knife from an elderly woman.

The FBI arrested Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, 18, a student at George Mason University, this week in connection with the alleged plot targeting Jews, court records show.
