Al-Qaeda Caught Trying to Enter US with Fake Passports
American law enforcement has identified and apprehended three Syrian nationals accused of belonging to the terrorist group al-Qaeda in Dallas, Texas with fake Colombian passports, according to Breitbart News.
Authorities identified the three as Al Raefee, Tuameh Tuameh, and Al Harari Al Harari, to be charged with membership in a terrorist organization. They appear to have entered the U.S. from Colombia through Venezuela, where they acquired Colombian residency paperwork, government ID cards, and Colombian passports through an illegal documentation network.
The arrest follows years of extensive evidence linking jihadist groups to Venezuela’s socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whose regime has long faced accusations of helping Syrian, Iranian, and Iraqi jihadists obtain legitimate Venezuelan documents they could later use to travel more freely in the West.
And yet Democrats want to make our borders even less secure.
Schumer: ‘These Senators Can Work a Little Longer’ on Trial
On CNN on Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that if the Senate’s impeachment trial of President Trump has to go on for longer in order to get witnesses and documents, then “these senators can work a little longer” too.
“[I]f the trial has to go on a little bit longer, and it wouldn’t be weeks and weeks and weeks, to have a fair trial, to have witnesses and documents is of paramount importance, and these senators can work a little longer,” Schumer declared.
“They can work a bit longer hours. They can work on weekends,” he added. “This is one of the most serious responsibilities the Constitution has given us. And to not have a fair trial, to have no evidence of the people who actually saw what happened because the president is blocking it and McConnell is blocking it is wrong.”
The Democrats have no evidence, so their transparent ploy now is to claim falsely that GOP Senators and Trump are engaged in a coverup, blocking Democrats from presenting witnesses and documents.
Soros: Trump is a ‘Conman and the Ultimate Narcissist’
In his annual speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, leftwing billionaire financier George Soros launched an attack on “authoritarian rulers” President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling Trump a “conman and the ultimate narcissist.”
Soros said Trump and Xi pose the biggest threat to “open societies,” which Soros supports through many of his open borders organizations such as the Open Society Foundation. “Both try to extend the powers of their office to its limit and beyond. Trump is willing to sacrifice the national interests for his personal interests and he will do practically anything to win re-election. By contrast, Xi Jinping is eager to exploit Trump’s weaknesses and use artificial intelligence to achieve total control over his people.”
“The world would be a better place if they weren’t in power,” Soros added, before pledging $1 billion toward a new global university network to tackle nationalism.
The world would be a better place without the radical influence and power of George Soros.
Warren Confronted by Angry Dad About Student Loans
In a brief but intense exchange caught on video and posted to Twitter Tuesday, an angry father confronted White House contender Elizabeth Warren about her fundamentally unfair student loan forgiveness plan.
In the video clip, the father tells Warren he sacrificed and worked hard to save money for his daughter’s college education. “Am I going to get my money back?” he asked, to which a smiling Warren replied,”Of course not.” He shot back, “So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save any money and those of us who did the right thing get screwed?”
Warren started to answer but the dad pressed on, accusing her of laughing at him before walking away in frustration.
Warren later dismissed his argument on CBS This Morning Friday, claiming “Look, we build a future going forward by making it better… We don’t build an America by saddling our kids with debt.” We also don’t build a future by teaching our youth that personal responsibility counts for nothing and the government is their savior.
Harris to GOP: You Have Responsibility to Be Impartial
Thursday on MSNBC, failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris lectured her Republican colleagues on their responsibility to ensure “fair and impartial justice” in the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump.
Asked about House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler‘s accusatory tone toward Senate Republicans, Harris said, “Let’s focus on the law, and let’s ensure that this will be a fair trial, that it will be legitimate in terms of its process, which is supposed to be about seeking truth and, therefore, justice.
“And the tone of someone who is presenting the case really has very little to do with the responsibility of each of us, which is to pay attention to the facts, to demand that we receive all facts and all evidence available, including documents, and that we deliberate based on what the Constitution requires of each of us, which is that we do fair and impartial justice.”
Thanks to the Democrats’ partisan sham of an impeachment, the American people see very clearly which side cares about “fair and impartial justice.”
CNN’s Cuomo Defends Greta, Forgets About Covington Kids
Arrogant CNN host (but I repeat myself) Chris Cuomo leaped to the defense of teen climate activist Greta Thunberg on Thursday and was promptly excoriated on social media for his hypocrisy about Covington high school student Nicholas Sandmann.
“Why do these Trumpers think it is OK to go at a kid?” Cuomo tweeted, referring to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s dismissal of Thunberg. “Is she the chief economist? Who is she? I’m confused,” Mnuchin joked. “After she goes and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us.”
“Didn’t your garbage network just settle a nine-figure lawsuit for defaming a Catholic child at a pro-life march?” tweeted The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis. “Chris, your network literally just settled with a Covington High School kid after you smeared him,” wrote political strategist Caleb Hull.
Mnuchin is right, of course; Thunberg is a child puppet of manipulative climate change hysterics, not an expert. And unlike Sandmann, she is a public figure.
