Britain's hard-left government has temporarily entrusted its Office of Standards in Education to Sir Hamad Patel. If allowed to stand, this appointment would appear to mark a tipping point in Western submission to Sharia supremacism. Sir Hamad is ranked among the 500 top Muslims worldwide, a list dominated by adherence to authoritative Islam's totalitarian doctrine known as Sharia. It obliges faithful Muslims to engage in stealthy if not violent, jihad to achieve global Islamic rule. Fortunately, not all Muslims follow Sharia or seek to impose it worldwide. The bad news is that Sir Hamad isn't among them.
Only a nation that is suicidally irresponsible about Sharia and the mortal threat it poses to Judeo-Christian civilization would entrust to an individual who is Sharia adherent the job of standard setting for its educational system. Others, including ours, must not indulge in similar delusions. 

President Trump recently unveiled one of his most important initiatives called the “America First Investment Policy.” It’s supposed to end Wall Street’s insane practice of using U.S. retail investors’ retirement and other funds to help the Chinese Communist Party threaten our people – and repress those of China.
Yesterday, Ronald Reagan’s financial warfare expert, Roger Robinson, told Maria Bartiromo’s audience that J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have doubled down. 
They intend shortly to use our money to raise at least $7 billion for a Chinese electric battery manufacturer known as CATL. The Defense Department says the company supports our mortal enemy’s military. And five key legislators – one of whom is now Secretary of State Marco Rubio – have denounced CATL for using slave labor.
President Trump, keep Wall Street from putting China First, again: Say “No” to CATL.

President Trump – like his predecessors – has insisted that Sharia-supremacist Iran will not be allowed to get “the Bomb.” Unfortunately, the ayatollahs can probably reveal at any time that they have done so.
So, there’s great urgency to the ultimatum Mr. Trump gave  Iran’s regime this week, to either resume denuclearization negotiations or face military action. Iran’s president recently responded that his country will not negotiate and told him to “do whatever the hell you want.”
Since what we want is an end to the nuclear and other threats from Tehran, the response must be to help Israel enable the long-suffering Iranian people to liberate themselves from the regime that brutally oppresses them and explicitly seeks our destruction and that of the Jewish State – namely, by targeting the mullahocracy and the security apparatus that keeps it in power.

Five years ago, the world met Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus. An Ethiopian Marxist plucked from obscurity by the Chinese Communist Party to run the World Health Organization declared a pandemic emergency involving a new virus dubbed COVID-19.
Given his patron, it should have been no surprise that this unaccountable international bureaucrat immediately began parroting China’s lies about the source of this disease, its transmissibility and the optimal response to the outbreak – from eschewing travel bans to imposing lockdowns and mandating inadequately tested vaccines. 
By some estimates, about eighty percent of the more than a million American COVID casualties needlessly died from our following Dr. Tedros’ malfeasant prescriptions.
President Trump wisely is withdrawing us from the WHO, rejecting the idea of giving its leader sweeping new powers over our public health. We don’t want Tedros and his Chinese masters killing any more of us.

Samuel Johnson called second marriages “the triumph of hope over experience.” So is the Kurds’ agreement yesterday to end their control over much of northern Syria, relinquishing the safe haven to the al Qaeda-tied Sharia-supremacists who seized Damascus last year.
Unfortunately, the announcement comes as jihadis who helped achieve that feat have been murdering large numbers of other Syrian minorities, including Shiite Alawites and Christians. If that precedent were not chilling enough, confidence in the new regime’s promises to respect Kurdish rights is further undermined by the abiding determination of its sponsor, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to crush the Kurds. 
The U.S. has maintained a small force of special operators in the Kurds’s region to discourage Turkish attacks and counter ISIS. Presumably, they’ll now be withdrawn, increasing the chances that our Kurdish allies will be the next victims of jihadist genocide.

On Saturday, the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of pro-Hamas demonstrations promoting “the end of Western civilization” at Columbia University and Barnard College. The action follows the cancellation last week of $400 million in federal funding to the university over its “failure to police anti-Semitism” there. 
These actions are the first fruits of the President’s executive measures aimed at preventing further agitation and possibly violent riots on American campuses by supporters of that Sharia supremacist terrorist organization. 
They follow a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday examining the clearly well-organized and -funded anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas and anti-American demonstrations at Columbia and other schools – and their associated threats to Jewish students. Not a single Democratic senator attended. 
Hamas is our enemy, not just Israel’s. It must be destroyed, not extolled. And every member of the Trump administration needs to speak, and act, accordingly.
