Good morning kids. First, late yesterday the Senate confirmed Linda McMahon to head up the Department of Education. All things considered, I hope her mission is the complete dismantling of this bureaucracy that has done nothing to advance the actual education of America's children since its inception a little more than 45 years ago. President Trump himself within the last few weeks has stated that this is something he was seeking to do. In purely bureaucratic and governmental terms, given that each state and locality have their own Education departments and boards of education, I repeat, what is the actual function of a Federal level DoE and how does it differ from all of the others. Ditto every other bureau, department and agency with state and local counterparts. Ultimately, it is emblematic and symptomatic of the anti-American revolution vis a vis the consolidation and centralization of power in a geographic and governmental location running completely antithetical to the philosophical and structural underpinnings of how and why this nation was founded. The anti-DOGE reaction is not merely personal against Trump and now Musk. The most efficient and accountable government is one that is as decentralized as possible since it is or should be as close to the level of the citizen as practicable. GIven human nature, that does not 100% preclude corruption, waste, fraud or abuse, but it makes it that much more difficult and politically unprofitable to be a crook. Also, it's not merely the waste and the fraud, but it's what the money is being spent on in the first place. It is our own destruction and/or enslavement at the hands of tyrants with their go-along-to-get-along confederates who are happy to wet their beaks at the public trough, regardless of the consequences. Hello, GOP.

As I write this, Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel seem to be hostage to rogue FBI leadership at the Bureau’s New York Field Office in a standoff over the Jeffrey Epstein files. If Bondi and Patel aren’t provided, and subsequently release to the public, these files immediately, they risk collapsing their own credibility and that of President Trump. They are playing a very dangerous game. . .
. . . So, now, we are told, AG Bondi and her underling, FBI Director Kash Patel, in whom we have all held such high hopes, are being thwarted by dastardly recalcitrant FBI leaders in New York. Seriously? Here’s a tip to AG Bondi and Director Patel: You are not doing your boss, President Trump, proud. In fact, if you don’t change your ways fast, you might represent for him the best opportunity to impress the rest of the populace with a post on Truth Social directed to you both that reads: “You’re fired!” Harsh? Maybe. But how about you stop making public pronouncements about your displeasure with FBINY, send five FBI SWAT teams up to the New York office, seize all FBI files related to Epstein, and if a single Bureau employee so much as raises a tiny whisper of protest, sack him/her on the spot? Sounds like a plan to me.

In a sane political environment, this would have passed as a decidedly unremarkable, albeit not quite one-hundred-percent accurate, observation. The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, recently warned that “radical Islamist terrorism” is the biggest national security threat the nation faces today.

Gabbard said: “We look at the past four years of open borders, where we had tens of millions of people coming across our borders, many of whom we don’t know who they are or what their intentions are, very specifically the threat of radical Islamist terrorism here within our country is higher than it’s ever been before, not only because of Biden’s open borders, but because of his and his administration’s fear of being called Islamophobes.”

For Gabbard to speak of “radical Islamist terrorism” was not quite accurate, as there is nothing “radical” about Islamic jihad violence. It is mainstream and deeply rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. And “Islamist” is a phony word that corresponds to nothing in Islamic theology. It is just an attempt to distance Islam from the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings.

Nevertheless, her statement was a tremendous improvement over the Biden regime. FBI director Christopher Wray testified before members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2021, saying: “The top threat we face from [domestic violent extremists] continues to be those we identify as Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVEs), specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.”

Indeed, as Robert Spencer alludes, "Radical Islamist Terrorism" is a triple redundancy given the nature of Islam as it has been for over 1,500 years. Of course the only reason to absolve by completely ignoring the bloodbath unleashed on this nation alone by the adherents of Islam and claim some mythological white supremacist movement exists as an ever-rpesent threat to the survival of this nation is for Islam's temporary allies of convenience in the Democrat Left to slime and smear those who oppose the multi-generational Leftist enterprise of anti-American counter revolution in the name of gaining absolute power. That is until whoever God-forbid becomes the mullah of and Islamic Republic of America gets around to using the rusty hacksaw on the necks of the Democrats. They'll be first to go since their ranks are chock full of Jews, homosexuals and other Haram infidels/apostates or whatever that will be given their one free Islamic flying lesson from off the top of the Capitol Dome during the renaming of Washington as Wahabbington DC.

In any case, we can certainly blame Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, Obama and the Clintons for literally whitewashing Islam. But really, with the ruins of the World Trade Center and Pentagon still smoldering, when George W. Bush unilaterally declared we were not at war with Islam despite the orgasmic ululations of glee and the passing out of candy and wild celebrations in every Mosque around the world and every Muslim neighborhood here and abroad, you knew we were in trouble.

Also, as a bit of a teaser, Robert Spencer will be our special guest on the next edition of the podcast which should be posting sometime this Friday afternoon so be on the lookout for that.

Perhaps as crucial as Tulsi Gabbard's declaration is Mike Johnson will have a freed Israel hostage as his guest for Trump' a national address tonight:

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has unveiled his full guest list for President Trump’s first address to Congress this term — including key border officials, conservative media figures and a former Israeli hostage.

Johnson, 52, is bringing Noa Argamani, who endured 246 days in Hamas captivity, to observe Trump’s speech to a joint session of both chambers Tuesday.

“I am honored that Noa Argamani will be joining us at President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress,” Johnson told The Post. “Despite experiencing the unimaginable in the hands of Hamas, Noa has demonstrated incredible strength and courage.” “Her return gives us hope for the safe return of all Hamas hostages,” he added. “We must continue to work to bring each of them home and stand firm against those who commit such atrocities.”
