Dr. Adam Hamawy just won the Democratic nomination for the New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, effectively ensuring he will be sworn in next year.
A question occurs: Can he faithfully pledge to “support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”?
For one thing, Hamawy previously lied under oath on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, during the trial that convicted him of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center the first time.
Then, Hamawy repeatedly shouted during his victory party last week “Allahu Akhbar” – the declaration that “Allah is the greatest” jihadists notably make as they perpetrate terrifying violence on unbelievers.
Finally, there’s the prospect that, if Hamawy is elected, he will take his oath with a hand on the Koran, a book that commands its adherents to lie to the infidels.
What could possibly go wrong?

Don't Give Iran More Time to Rearm

Iran fired waves of ballistic missiles at Israelis cities yesterday. It’s the latest evidence that the idea of negotiating a deal of any value, let alone durability, with what’s left of the mullahs’ regime is an exercise in futility.
After all, thanks to the present, so-called “ceasefire” such missiles are being steadily exhumed from the underground shelters in which they were buried earlier this year.
And that’s just one indication of the dangers associated with what is actually a hudna – the traditional Mohammedan temporary pause that allows Muslim warriors time and space to rearm, regroup and resume hostilities under more favorable circumstances.
In addition, more Chinese weapons and components are being shipped into Iran daily and will be aimed at Israel, our forces and allies in the region and, in some cases, perhaps us here at home.
Mr. President, finish the job.

Checkmate Hezbollah, Liberate Lebanon

Iran's Foreign Legion, doing business in Lebanon as the designated terrorist group Hezbollah, has refused to join a ceasefire negotiated between the country's putative government and Israel. That could amount to a strategic checkmate that leads at last to Lebanon's liberation, provided that is, President Trump is not induced to intervene to save the jihadists absent such an error, Israel is now in a position to mop up what is left of Hezbollah's infrastructure and personnel south of the Latani River.
It can also help Christians to its north secure their own areas and work with Druze, Sunnis, and even some Shiites elsewhere in Lebanon to root out their common enemy, the Iranian occupiers. Mr. President, ignore those urging you to rescue the Iranian Sharia supremacists. At a minimum, let Israel and Lebanese yearning to get their country back finish the job.

Thirty-seven years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party violently crushed freedom demonstrations in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and other cities across China. Grave insult was added to the murderous injury inflicted when the U.S. government made clear that such repression would not be allowed to interfere with business as usual between the two countries.
The message was personally conveyed to that epic crime’s perpetrators by President George H.W. Bush’s National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft – a longtime protégé of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who blazed the path for “engagement” with the CCP.
In practice, as author Peter Schweizer has devastatingly documented in his latest best-seller, Invisible Coup, Kissinger, Scowcroft, and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson spawned the practice of profiting immensely by selling out our country to China at the expense of Americans’ economic wellbeing and national security.
That must end.

The Republican-controlled Florida House of Representatives designated February as Muslim American Heritage Month. Its adoption is credited to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim Brotherhood front designated last year by Governor Ron DeSantis as a terrorist organization.
The resolution even extolled the public service of three Democratic sharia-supremacists: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Representatives Ilan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. While there are Muslims who have contributed laudably to our country, these three aren’t among them.
A BanSharia.com webinar today will examine a particularly odious Muslim “contribution” to America’s heritage: Sharia’s brutal repression of women. From dressing them in bags to mutilating their genitals to marrying them off as pre-pubescent girls to allowing their husbands to beat them, Muslim misogyny has brought here the worst of Mohammed’s behavior.
It must be prohibited, not extolled. BanSharia.com

Hudnas Conduce to Defeat, Not Peace

President Trump is doubling down on a bet that diplomacy with Iran will produce a deal that ends hostilities there. Yesterday, he vehemently insisted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forgo further attacks on Iran’s foreign legion, Hezbollah.
Mr. Trump appears to be heeding the advice of U.S. advisors like special envoy Tom Barrack and putative allies like Qatar and Turkey.
They previously persuaded him to engage with another sharia-supremacist regime in Syria at the expense of actual allies there among minority communities.
The result is instructive: Ongoing, murderous jihadist attacks and the prospect for outright genocide – not peace.
Diplomacy with sharia-supremacists only produces hudnas – temporary pauses that allow them to rearm, regroup and renew their jihads under more favorable circumstances.
Give peace its only chance, Mr. President: There is no substitute for decisive victory.
