  • The Gaza Gambit: Will The Islamofascists of Hamas Finally Keep Their Word?

    The Gaza Gambit: Will The Islamofascists of Hamas Finally Keep Their Word?
    Oct 6 2025
    In a dramatic flourish befitting his larger-than-life persona, President Trump unveiled his ambitious 20-point peace plan for the Israeli-Hamas war on October 3rd from the White House Rose Garden. Flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a cadre of international envoys, Trump declared it a “monumental deal to end the bloodshed once and for all,” outlining an immediate ceasefire, the release of all remaining Israeli hostages (both alive and not), and a pathway to Palestinian self-governance—sans the terror apparatus that has plagued the region for decades.The plan’s highlights include a hostage-prisoner exchange, Hamas’s complete disarmament with amnesty for compliant militants, phased Israeli withdrawals from Gaza, and economic incentives to rebuild the Gaza Strip under international oversight. No Gazan would be forcibly displaced, Trump emphasized, but those yearning for peace could emigrate freely.Hamas, in a calculated display of partial compliance, has agreed to release the hostages (both alive and not) and accept a new governing body in Gaza to oversee reconstruction and daily affairs. Yet, true to form, they’re hedging on the critical disarmament clause, insisting on “phased implementation” and “security guarantees”—classic weasel words that scream delay and deception from these perennial saboteurs of peace.On the surface, it’s a masterstroke: a blueprint for coexistence that sidesteps the failed two-state fantasies of yesteryear. Yet, as history’s grim ledger reminds us, deals with Islamofascist outfits like Hamas, Hezbollah, and their forebears in the PLO—puppeteered by the fanatical Iranian mullahs—have invariably crumbled into dust, replaced by rivers of Jewish blood. These groups, cloaked in the garb of resistance but animated by jihadist venom, have a track record of duplicity so egregious it borders on the pathological.Time and time again, they’ve inked agreements only to shred them at the first whiff of vulnerability, resuming their orgy of rockets, suicide bombings, and tribal savagery. Trump’s plan may gleam with optimism, but without ironclad enforcement—and severe consequences for transgressions, it’s just another invitation for these terror mongers to reload and re-aim—especially when they dangle hostage releases like bait while clutching their weapons like lifelines.Let’s rewind to the PLO’s sordid saga, the original sin of Palestinian “diplomacy.” In 1993, under the Oslo Accords, Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization—then the darling of far-Left Western gullibility—shook hands with Israel in a ceremony on the White House lawn, pledging mutual recognition and an end to violence. Israel ceded land, armed Arafat’s forces, and bent over backward for peace.What did the PLO deliver? A grotesque betrayal: the Second Intifada of 2000, a five-year frenzy of stabbings, shootings, and bus bombings that claimed over 1,000 Israeli lives. Arafat, that Nobel Peace Prize fraud, pocketed concessions while his thugs glorified “martyrs” who targeted Jewish schoolchildren. The accords, hailed as a breakthrough, were nothing but a Trojan horse for escalation, proving the PLO’s word as worthless. Even gestures like prisoner swaps and interim governance bodies—echoing Hamas’s latest nod to a new Gaza authority—served only as smokescreens for the inevitable bloodletting.Enter Hamas, the PLO’s more rabid spawn, a Sunni jihadist hydra sworn to Israel’s annihilation in its genocidal charter. Since wresting Gaza from Arafat’s heirs in 2007, Hamas has orchestrated at least six major ceasefire pacts with Israel—each a cynical interlude for rearming.Take 2008’s Operation Cast Lead truce, brokered by Egypt: Hamas pledged calm in exchange for eased blockades. Within months, they barraged southern Israel with Qassam rockets, provoking the very retaliation they now wail about. Fast-forward to 2012’s Pillar of Defense ceasefire: another Egyptian-mediated lull, shattered by Hamas’s relentless barrages, killing civilians and shattering any illusion of goodwill.The pattern repeated in 2014’s Protective Edge, where Hamas violated every humanitarian pause—firing rockets even during their own-proposed lulls—turning Gaza into a launchpad for terror. By 2019 and 2021, these “hudnas” (temporary truces in Islamist parlance) were mere facades, allowing Hamas to stockpile Iranian Grad missiles while feigning restraint. The October 7, 2023, massacre—1,200 slaughtered, 250 kidnapped, and too many raped to count—was the fruit of that deception, a barbaric eruption that exposed Hamas not as a liberation movement, but as a death cult masquerading as one.Now, with hostages as their human shields and a vague promise of a post-Hamas governing body, they’re playing the same game: concede the symbolic to hoard the substantive, all while dragging feet on disarmament that would neuter their jihadist core.Hezbollah, ...

  • How Is More Law Enforcement In Crime-Ravaged Cities A Bad Thing?

    How Is More Law Enforcement In Crime-Ravaged Cities A Bad Thing?
    Oct 3 2025
    In the shadow of America’s crumbling urban cores, where sirens wail like a perpetual dirge and law-abiding citizens huddle behind bolted doors, a simple truth pierces the fog of hysteria: increased federal law enforcement presence in cities like Chicago, Washington, DC, and Portland should terrify no one—except the criminals who thrive in chaos.Yet, here we are, in October 2025, watching a parade of virtue-signaling, elitist politicians and their activist enablers clutching pearls over the sight of federal agents in tactical gear. “How dare the feds step in to restore order!” It’s as if these critics believe safety is a privilege reserved for the elite, while the rest of us must endure the fallout from their failed experiments in “progressive” policing. Spare us the crocodile tears; this isn’t oppression—it’s overdue reinforcement of the law for communities gasping under the weight of unchecked violence.Let’s dismantle the absurd objections with cold facts.Federal law enforcement agencies, from the FBI to the DEA, deliver what strapped local departments can only dream of: surges of extra personnel, cutting-edge investigative tools, and technology that turns guesswork into precision strikes against criminals. Local police in cash-strapped cities often limp along with outdated equipment and bone-tired officers pulling endless overtime. By partnering with federal teams, these cities shift from reactive to proactive—thwarting violent crimes before they erupt, dismantling organized syndicates, and shielding against cyber threats that know no zip code. In Portland, where federal deployments have ramped up amid spiraling unrest, this collaboration shouldn’t be seen as an invasion; it should be understood as a lifeline, allowing overwhelmed locals to focus on neighborhood patrols instead of playing whack-a-mole with transnational gangs.Consider the scale of the enemy: criminal networks peddling drugs, trafficking humans, and orchestrating cyber heists that span cities, states, and oceans. Local cops, handcuffed by jurisdictional red tape and razor-thin budgets, can’t chase a cartel kingpin from Chicago’s South Side to a Juárez safehouse without federal help. Enter the feds, with their authority to coordinate across borders and resources to sustain long-haul ops.In Washington, DC, where opioid floods and fentanyl labs have turned monuments into memorials, this interstate synergy has already nipped multi-state trafficking rings in the bud. Objectors whine about “federal overreach,” but what they really fear is accountability—for letting these predators fester under their watch.And let’s not tiptoe around the elephant in the riot gear: the violent disruptions sown by extremist groups masquerading as social justice warriors. Far-Left outfits like Antifa and Black Lives Matter aren’t spontaneous uprisings; they’re bankrolled, manufactured spectacles of fury, fueled by deep-pocketed progressive donors who treat chaos as a checkbook cause. Reports reveal how foundations tied to figures like George Soros and Neville Roy Singham have funneled over $100 million to organizations linked to these “extremist protests,” enabling sustained campaigns of arson, looting, and ideological intimidation.In Portland’s 2025 flare-ups, federal agents brought specialized intel to monitor these networks, investigating funding trails that locals couldn’t touch without sparking a media meltdown. Neutralizing these threats isn’t about stifling dissent—it’s about protecting the innocent from Molotov cocktails and brick-throwing ideologues who erroneously equate law and order with fascism. If that’s “provocative,” then so is locking your door at night.Compounding this mess are the fiscal black holes sucking these same cities dry. Major cities are drowning in deficits, bloated by politically expedient spending on everything from green initiatives to identity politics pet projects, leaving precious little for actual public safety.Chicago faces a nearly $1 billion budget gap, much of which stems from underfunded pensions and never-ending emergency responses. Los Angeles limps on with a $1.5 billion shortfall, while Portland and other Blue cities rank among the worst-off in fiscal health—54 of the 75 largest US cities couldn’t cover their bills as of early 2025. Overtime for riot control, drawn-out investigations, ideologically-charged courtroom marathons, and victimhood support services devour municipal coffers like a bonfire. Federal involvement offloads this burden, freeing up local dollars for schools and streets instead of subsidizing the fallout from mayoral mismanagement.Beyond the immediate boost, federal agencies invest in the long game: advanced training and mentorship that supercharge local law enforcement officers and departments. Think counterterrorism drills, cyber forensics workshops, gang intervention tactics, and unraveling knotty conspiracies—skills that turn ...

  • Communist China's Insidious Doctrine of Unrestricted Warfare

    Communist China's Insidious Doctrine of Unrestricted Warfare
    Sep 29 2025
    In 1999, two scheming colonels in the People’s Liberation Army, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, penned Unrestricted Warfare, a venomous manifesto masquerading as military theory. This book lays bare the Communist Chinese Party’s (CCP) ruthless ambition: to dismantle the United States not through conventional battles, but via a shadowy, all-encompassing assault on every pillar of American society.This doctrine fuels the CCP’s ongoing hybrid war, blending economic sabotage, cyber intrusions, cultural poison, and more to erode U.S. supremacy. The CCP, a tyrannical regime built on oppression, coercion, and deceit, views America as its prime obstacle to global domination. Their strategy exploits Western openness while shielding their own ruthless, iron-fisted control, aided by naive and complicit supporters in international business, academia, and politics who prioritize profit over principle.Economically, the CCP wields unrestricted warfare like a blunt instrument to cripple America’s prosperity. Through predatory trade practices, intellectual property theft, and forced technology transfers, Beijing siphons trillions from U.S. innovation. Huawei’s infiltration of global telecoms isn’t about fair competition—it’s espionage disguised as business, enabling data theft and network sabotage.The Trump administration has successfully pushed back with tariffs, export controls, and investment scrutiny, curbing some CCP aggression and revitalizing domestic manufacturing, but it needs to go further by fully decoupling supply chains and imposing harsher penalties on enablers. The so-called “trade war” exposed this: China’s economic coercion, including tariffs and supply chain manipulations, aims to bankrupt American industries while flooding markets with subsidized goods.Domestically, CCP-linked entities buy up U.S. farmland and critical infrastructure, not for benign investment, but to control food supplies and exert leverage during crises. Their Belt and Road Initiative ensnares nations in debt traps, but against America, it’s subtler—using economic aid warfare to sway allies and isolate the U.S. These tactics, cheered by Wall Street enablers who lobby for “engagement,” hollow out American manufacturing, costing millions of jobs and fostering dependency on a hostile power.Militarily, unrestricted warfare sidesteps direct confrontation, where the U.S. holds the edge, in favor of asymmetric erosion. The PLA’s rapid modernization—building aircraft carriers, hypersonic missiles, and space weapons—isn’t just defensive; it’s preparation for indirect strikes, like cyber warfare attacks, that could paralyze U.S. grids and command systems. Their new fighters, like the J-20, bear a striking resemblance to U.S. designs such as the F-22, a clear result of espionage and theft.China’s artificial islands in the South China Sea violate international norms, claiming territory and daring the world to respond. Espionage rings steal military tech, from fighter jets to stealth designs, accelerating Beijing’s arsenal while undermining U.S. superiority. Meanwhile, disinformation campaigns via state media and social platforms sow doubt in American resolve, portraying the U.S. military as imperialistic. The CCP’s international supporters, including academics who downplay these threats as “McCarthyism,” enable this buildup, ignoring how it endangers global stability.Societally, the CCP’s assault is a cultural blitzkrieg, polluting minds and institutions to fracture unity. Through Confucius Institutes on U.S. university campuses, they peddle propaganda, censor dissent, and recruit spies under the guise of education. Apps and software routinely harvest data while algorithmically promoting divisive content that amplifies polarization. It’s classic media warfare.All foreign exchange students who return to China after attending U.S. universities are debriefed by the CCP upon their return to glean dual-use knowledge, turning academic exchanges into intelligence ops. And Hollywood self-censors to appease Beijing, erasing Taiwan from maps and glorifying CCP narratives, while their cultural warfare exports authoritarian values, eroding basic American principles of freedom.Domestic sympathizers, from progressive elites to corporate executives, excuse this as “multiculturalism,” but it’s subversion: weakening societal cohesion through fabricated narratives and psychological operations that breed mistrust in democracy itself.Criminally, unrestricted warfare manifests in shadowy operations that blur state and crime. China’s role in the fentanyl crisis is drug warfare incarnate—state-linked labs produce precursors shipped via cartels, killing tens of thousands of Americans annually as a form of asymmetric attack. The escalating illegal marijuana trade in Oklahoma, dominated by Chinese criminal networks, has exploded into a multi-billion-dollar black market, with thousands of illicit grows tied ...
