Secure Freedom Minute

The murder last week of a National Guard soldier by an Afghan veteran granted asylum earlier this year was reminiscent of numerous so-called “green-on-blue” jihadist attacks on our servicemen and women in his country. 
Worse yet, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Sunday that as many as 100,000 other Afghans brought here without proper vetting when Joe Biden surrendered their country to the Taliban may also wish to do us harm.
And, according to Secretary Noem, this individual, who was trained and worked with U.S. forces prior to that debacle, was actually radicalized in America. 
President Trump has announced sweeping actions meant to keep such people from coming and staying here. He must also fulfill a promise made in 2016 that, “The support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one.”

In response to the murder of a National Guard soldier by one of the thousands of Afghan jihadists Joe Biden let into this country after he surrendered theirs to the Taliban, President Trump pledged to do, among other things, the following: 
“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries…, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions…and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country;                                                                               denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
The place to start with this ambitious agenda is by designating the U.S. chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, identifying and removing its operatives, and doing the same to their allies – many thousands of Chinese soldiers now in this country.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, two members of the West Virginia National Guard protecting Washington were attacked in a manner reminiscent of how jihadists surprised and murdered American servicemen during the war in Afghanistan. 
That may be because, as President Trump announced last night, their assailant was an Afghan national imported after Joe Biden surrendered his nation to the Taliban. 
Unfortunately, Biden not only admitted without screening tens of thousands of such likely Taliban operatives following the fall of Kabul. Countless other jihadists and apparent Chinese soldiers also came across his open borders. 
In response to the Guardsmen’s shooting, President Trump pledged to remove “any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.” 
We will be very lucky – and must be very thankful – if the worst of what those misbegotten Biden policies unleashed is yesterday’s attack.

Amidst talk of progress on an end to hostilities in Ukraine, the war emanating from the other side of the world continues, at best, to be misunderstood, at worst, greatly exacerbated by our inattention. 
That’s the war the Chinese Communist Party has long waged against the United States. Consider just a few examples of the damage the CCP has done to date with ongoing and intensifying “unrestricted warfare” aimed at destroying America: 
It’s hollowed out our industrial base, ravaging the economy.  
It’s killed over a million of us with biological warfare in the form of COVID-19. 
It’s murdered half-a-million more with chemical warfare inflicted by weaponized fentanyl.
And tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are inside our country prepared to do even worse to America’s people and infrastructure.
We must recognize the CCP is at war with us, and respond appropriately.

Yesterday, President Trump established by executive order a process for designating “chapters and subdivisions” of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. For those of us deeply concerned about this group’s metastasizing enabling of sharia-supremacism globally, this is welcome news. 
That said, the President’s stated concerns about the threat the Brotherhood poses overseas to U.S. nationals and interests apply, if anything, even more to the many millions of us who can be harmed by the organization’s vast numbers of radical clerics, mosques, front groups and terrorist cells operating in this country.
So, will Mr. Trump’s 30-day tasking to the Secretaries of State and Treasury “concerning the designation of any Muslim Brotherhood chapters or other subdivisions, including those in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt, as foreign terrorist organizations” allow for the threat the Brothers pose domestically to be addressed, as well? 
It absolutely must.

Donald Trump says he’ll designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. When he does – and enforces it, he’ll make the most important policy course-correction towards jihadism since 9/11.
Until now, our government has refused to recognize that those like the Brothers determined to impose Islam’s totalitarian sharia – at least initially, through stealthy means, rather than violent ones – are our enemies, too.
Hereafter, President Trump must fulfill promises made in a key campaign speech in August 2016. He condemned the “ideology of Radical Islam” and pledged to screen out “any [immigrants] who have hostile attitudes towards our country or its principles – or who believe that sharia law should supplant American law.” He also promised “the support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one.”
Start with the Muslim Brotherhood’s vast “civilization jihad” network in America.
