White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller just declared, Focused righteous anger directed for a just cause is one of the most important agents of change in human history. We are going to channel all of the anger we have over the organized campaign that led to Charlie Kirk's assassination to uproot and dismantle these leftist terrorist networks, Unfortunately, yesterday's Present Danger China.org webinar revealed that violence in this country is being promoted not only by left-wing groups enabled by the likes of alleged racketeers George and Alex Soros. Their numbers and lethality are surging thanks to Islamic supremacists and the foreign enablers of the Red-Green Axis's communist and jihadist elements. Worse, they are reported collectively to be good to go violent. It appears that focused, righteous anger needs to be brought to bear immediately for the just cause of saving our country.

I had the privilege last night of being among thousands of friends, associates and admirers of Charlie Kirk who gathered for a Kennedy Center prayer vigil to remember and revere the man and his legacy.
I encourage every American to view its video recording.
There are now two urgent action items. First, as his widow, Erika, pledged in an absolutely extraordinary eulogy, Turning Point USA must be made even more formidable. Fortunately, we were told last night requests for new TPUSA campus chapters exceed thirty thousand.
Second, President Trump has promised to “find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it.” He’s promised to “look into [George] Soros, because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people.”
Let’s roll.

No "12er" for NYC Mayor

Charles “Sam” Faddis served for two decades as a covert operative – a spy – for the Central Intelligence Agency, much of it confronting enemies waging jihad or “holy war” to impose Islam’s toxic Sharia code worldwide.
Among the most dangerous of such adherents are Shiite Muslims known as “12ers.” They want to cause the apocalypse to prompt a messiah to emerge from a well in Iran where he has resided for over a thousand years to bring about the Golden Age of Islam.
In Sam’s last job at the CIA, he was responsible for protecting us against Weapons of Mass Destruction terrorism. In an interview this week, we discussed the prospect of having an avowed 12er like Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani be ultimately responsible for the security of New York City.
Obviously, that should be disqualifying and must not happen.

The political assassination of Charlie Kirk – one of America’s most beloved, influential and courageous thought-leaders – is an abomination.
So far, it is unclear who was responsible for silencing this brilliant man, or what effect Charlie’s murder will have on the country he loved so profoundly and the young people he inspired and empowered so impactfully.
What is clear is that we can no longer ignore the international and increasingly the domestic threats about which he warned relentlessly.
In particular, as we mark twenty-four years to the day when nineteen men called to jihad by Islam’s Sharia doctrine inflicted unprecedented mass destruction on our country, we must heed Charlie’s admonitions that its adherents are here – and determined to achieve that goal and the demise of Judeo-Christian civilization, more generally.
We must honor our friend, Charlie Kirk, by carrying on his vital work.

Israel’s attacks on Hamas safe-havens in Qatar are the latest indication that she is determined to “finish the job” in Gaza. President Trump has repeatedly urged the Israeli government to do just that – and should affirm such support again at this juncture.
To date, however, Mr. Trump has expressed regret that the strike occurred and promised it would not be repeated. That should only be the case if Qatar stops hosting and abetting Hamas – the sort of material support for international jihadism that makes it the world’s most generous state-sponsor of terrorism.
If Qatar expelled and otherwise cut off Hamas, instead of – as a purported “mediator,” effectively enabling its survival – the only acceptable outcome in Gaza could be quickly achieved: Namely truly finishing the job by securing Hamas’ unconditional surrender, freeing all remaining Israeli hostages, and incarceration by Israel.

In a nomination hearing last week, Riley Barnes cited former Senator and Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “We are a nation founded on a powerful principle…that all men are created equal, because our rights come from God our Creator – not from our laws, not from our governments.”
Democratic Senator Tim Kaine – evidently unaware that this principle was explicitly enshrined in the Declaration of Independence – found that statement “extremely troubling.” He declared, “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes.”
Yesterday, President Trump sharply repudiated Kaine, saying he “should be ashamed of himself.” He vowed, “Under the Trump administration, we're defending our rights and restoring our identity as a nation under God. We are one nation under God and we always will be.”
Amen.
