Rep. McCaul: List Mexican Cartels As Terror Organizations

If there’s an appreciable difference between Muslim terrorists and Mexican drug thugs, it exists mainly in motivation (e.g. the belief of Allah types that jihadists get 72 virgins in the afterlife). The behavior is similar in many ways, down to the bombs and beheadings, designed to scare the public.

Mexican organized crime has certainly racked up [...]

Mexico Gun Smuggling Scandal Expands

The slow-motion scandal of the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms smuggling guns to Mexico is rising ever higher. Some dim bulb in the ATF thought it would be brilliant idea to ship high-power weapons to Mexican gangsters in order to “track” them. Now President Obama is swearing he didn’t know nuttin! To Univision, [...]

Islamic Enemies Eye America's Porous Southern Border

Evidence accumulates of the worsening terror threat on the southern border, nearly 20 percent of which was judged to be poorly guarded according to a recent GAO report. Rep Sue Myrick has warned that unfriendly Venezuela is a portal for Iranians and other hostile people to make their way into America via Mexico. Rep. Mike [...]

No Gitmo-Berkeley Hook-Up

I admit to being relieved that Berkeley will not officially admit a couple of Gitmo terrorists to live in our fair city, which was the loopy idea of some far-lefties. They see the Guantanamo prison to be a foul leftover from the evil Bush Administration, and if they can’t shut it down, then they can [...]

Wikileaks Leaks Have Not Been Entirely Evil

The wikileaks leaks, though clearly harmful to America’s national security, have nevertheless revealed some welcome information on vexing topics.

One non-surprise background item was the how Washington was not as clueless as it has appeared regarding the Mexico meltdown into anarchy in the government’s failing drug war. Perhaps the arrogant Presidente Calderon would not have gotten [...]

“Homegrown” Terror Troubles Hearing

“Homegrown” is a troubling term, since it can be so misleading when used by Washington bureaucrats. But that topic was a big theme in a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee held September 22 titled Nine Years after 9/11: Confronting the Threat to the Homeland.

For example Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square wanna-be bomber, is [...]

Terror Threats Reassessed as Enemies Rejigger

On September 10, the day before the 9/11 terror anniversary, the two chairmen of the 9/11 Commission appeared at a press conference to discuss the state of national preparedness against our enemies. (Watch on C-Span.) Former Delaware Governor Tom Kean and Rep. Lee Hamilton were accompanied by other terrorism experts to discuss successes and failures [...]

Mexican Aliens Are Helping Afghan Deserters

This case had a bad smell from the beginning, when the military was claiming “no problema” about dozens of Afghan trainees disappearing from Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio. Some instances can be chalked up to low-rent Muslims taking advantage of being in America to escape their dirtbag homeland, sometimes to Canada where asylum [...]

Shahzad's Terrorist Video (Sleeper Agent or Failed Assimilation?)

When Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad was first arrested by law enforcement, the press did its usual bang-up job of reporting, using its favored narrative of just another Muslim in the neighborhood, nothing to worry about; the neighbors were shocked, shocked that such a nice family could be connected with terrorist activity, etc.

Neighbors Recall Faisal [...]

Watch Out for Somalis in South Texas

Apparently even far-off Somalia has heard that the US-Mexican border remains porous and is therefore a welcoming place for hostiles to enter. Somalis with unfriendly intent may have noticed how Obama assured Mexico’s Presidente Calderon that America is beyond all that national border stuff, while performing a pretend-enforcement tap dance (sending a handful of troops [...]

A Tale of Two Jurisdictions: Arizona vs. New York City

Consider: two wildly different communities face an escalating crisis of violence against public safety. Both conclude that the federal government’s response to the foreign source of the worsening chaos is insufficient, so they decide to ramp up local enforcement.

One, Arizona, is condemned in the most excoriating manner by liberal elites and media for taking pro-active [...]

Poll Shows Low Opinion of National Security

Rasmussen pollsters have found the lowest level of confidence in national security since 9/11. Obama’s kumbaya policies of treating terrorists like everyday criminals must not look effective to the country.

War on Terror Update

Confidence that America is winning the war on terror is down slightly this month, and belief that the United States is safer today [...]
