Mike Arnold is the Nigerian government’s worst nightmare. This longtime missionary has singlehandedly shattered its false narratives about, and complicity with, jihadists genocidally persecuting and murdering that nation’s Christians.
So, the sharia-supremacists ruling in Abuja and their allies here have sought to prevent Mike from addressing a briefing about this catastrophic bloodletting next week in the House of Reprepresentatives. Shockingly, they were abetted by the International Religious Freedom Summit, a group deeply penetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and, consequently, prioritizing so-called “interfaith dialogue” – the Brothers’ code words for promoting submission to Islam – over robustly defending those persecuted for following Jesus.
Fortunately, a faithful champion of international religious freedom, New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith, has arranged a program at which Mike Arnold will appear. Let’s pray President Trump will respond by redoubling his campaign to save persecuted Christians, in Nigeria and elsewhere.

Steve Bannon declared on his War Room program yesterday, “We’re in a war now, so we gotta win it. And we have to win it in a smart way to make sure the blood and treasure is not needlessly spilled. But we’re in it and we have to have victory.”
This statement marks a significant, and very welcome, break by my old friend from those who fail to understand our time’s central reality: We confront a global threat from adherents to Islam’s totalitarian sharia ideology that explicitly seeks the destruction of Western civilization.
Anything short of a decisive victory over sharia-supremacists – whether they are in Tehran or Texas – will embolden the rest of them who are obliged to respond by intensifying their jihad.
Steve Bannon’s “Posse” are critical to our nation’s survival and, I pray, will follow his courageous lead.

Mamdani's Jail Jihad

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited his city’s notorious Rikers Island prison this week to break the Ramadan fast with inmates there. In so doing, he promoted yet again Islam and encouraged conversion to it.
Mamdani’s excursion called attention to a troubling fact: Large numbers of convicts have done just that. Thanks in no small measure to the Muslim Brotherhood’s success dating back to the Clinton administration in insinuating its chaplains into federal and other prisons, what is arguably the most dangerous population in America has been assiduously recruited to sharia-supremacism by a group two governors have designated as a terrorist organization.
While Democrats are resisting needed electoral reforms in the SAVE America Act, there’s one they are very keen on: restoring the voting rights of felons after their incarceration ends. Jihadist Mamdani understands that means more, and more perilous, Muslim votes.

Don't Let Non-Citizens Nullify Your Legal Vote

President Trump is insisting that the U.S. Senate approve the SAVE America Act that would make vitally needed reforms to voter registration and balloting nationwide. So are the American people.
A new McLaughlin poll conducted for Tea Party Patriots found overwhelming support by Republicans, Democrats and independents for the purpose of this legislation: namely, ensuring that only U.S. citizens vote.
The only reason for opposing the SAVE America Act is to ensure instead that non-citizens can impact our elections. In practical terms, that means they can not only vote illegally. They can nullify the votes of Americans.
Presidential and popular support for the SAVE America Act has compelled Senate Majority Leader John Thune to ensure it gets a vote soon. Unclear, however, is whether he’s determined to make it a decisive victory.

For over four decades, the people of Iran have yearned to be liberated from the mullahocracy that has brutalized them. Thanks to the U.S. and Israeli militaries, they finally have a real opportunity to secure their freedom.
Yet, some contend the absence since Operation Epic Fury’s launch of the mass demonstrations of the past indicate Iran’s people are no longer a key potential ally in its success. This ignores the fact that American and Israeli officials have insisted they stay home pending the further dismantling of the regime’s security apparatus that murderously suppressed the most recent ones.
Evidently, however, Iranians are now materially contributing to regime change by providing lethal targeting information about the location of checkpoints the ayatollahs’ thugs have set up to control and kill would-be demonstrators.
As the late, great champion of freeing Iran, Michael Ledeen, would say, “Faster.”

Stop the Mullahs Before They Hit Us Here

At this hour, a dangerous fire is raging in an industrial complex in south Texas. It is too early to tell whether it was the result of an attack – let alone whether, if so, those responsible are tied to Iran’s regime.
One thing is clear, however: Official warnings and those of highly regarded former national security professionals indicate that, at least as long as the mullahs cling to power, it’s a matter of time before we are subjected to such sabotage, and possibly much worse.
For example, former CIA spy “Sam” Faddis notes that the new Iranian supreme leader has explicitly promised to hit “where the enemy has little experience and where it would be highly vulnerable.”
Some persist in believing that there’s a negotiated alternative to decisive victory over such an adversary. Regrettably, that’s not true.
Finish the job. Liberate Iran.
This is Frank Gaffney.
