Just letting you all know that when it comes to Islam, I will not mince words. You can unfollow me if you wish, but Islam is the most demonic ideology on the face of the earth. It destroys literally everything it touches—everything—and I refuse to be silent—or silenced—about it!

We keep talking about the continuing growth of Islam in Europe but it’s happening in America just as much.
The pace is slower and it is less noticeable but it is 100% happening in all fifty states.
Don’t be mistaken and don’t turn a blind eye to it.

American Muslim scholar Yasir Qadhi on Abdul El-Sayed’s victory:
“It’s a game-changer… an opening of the doors… the first catalyst… the first domino.”
“Europe is long, long changed… America is the final stronghold.”
“Persevere, be patient. This is not the end game.”
Qadhi points to Europe as already transformed and America as the final arena in a patient, long-term struggle for power.
This is how ideological capture advances: one election, one institution, one domino at a time.

“The Roman Catholic chaplains seemed to enjoy being where the fighting was. And we had never heard of one who failed to do all that was expected of him, and more.” - Captain Robert Graves, WW1
In WW1, British soldiers in Graves’ regiment had lost their faith. Only 1 in 100 men kept their religion. The fighting wore the soldiers down, and regimental chaplains had been under strict orders to stay behind the front lines and to not risk their lives, and they seemed glad to obey these orders.
The Colonel had cycled through 4 chaplains before trying out a Roman Catholic one, hoping it would inspire new faith in the men.
To their pleasant surprise, the new Catholic chaplains were on the front lines with the troops every day, sharing the struggle of the war with them, offering spiritual guidance, and even charging into gunfire to aid and pray with the wounded.
One Catholic chaplain, Fr. Francis Gleeson, when all officers of his company had been killed, stripped his noncombatant badge and took command of the unit in thick fighting until reinforcements arrived.
It is estimated that over 40,000 British soldiers converted to Catholicism during the course of the Great War, inspired by the bravery and camaraderie of the Catholic chaplain corps.

Let’s take it from the top again. Here’s the Democrat lineup going into the midterms:
- A diagnosed-bipolar Asian chick with a history of self-harm who’s been institutionalized in a psychiatric ward and overdosed on lithium, and wants to get rid of Thanksgiving.
- A guy who plays with a Dr. Fauci doll, proclaims his “love for trans kids,” and met his girlfriend at a gay bar.
- A guy who dresses up as a mechanic for fun, married his cousin, and knocked her up twice.
- A guy who frequents events where participants get pissed on in a kiddie pool while wearing assless chaps, whose claim to fame is lowering the age of consent for men to have sex with boys as young as 12, decriminalizing knowingly infecting others with AIDS, and supports allowing convicted pedophiles to run for school board.
- A Haitian chick who thinks the United States is a “f*cking disgrace,” wants to abolish borders, law enforcement, and prisons.
- A Muslim guy who believes the U.S. deserved 9/11, is funded by the Muslim Brotherhood, and whose wife and father-in-law have terrorist connections.
I’m sick of these idiots.
Everyone crying about Balogun playing knows nothing about soccer and is just engagement farming.
Every single one of them is a hypocrite.
In the qualifying matches for the World Cup, convicted criminal Cristiano Ronaldo received a 3 game suspension for VIOLENT CONDUCT.
He served one match, but the following two would’ve been during the World Cup group stage.
FIFA, citing the same article as they cited for Balogun, suspended Ronaldo’s punishment and he was available for all matches so far this World Cup.
Odds are, without FIFA doing that, Portugal would’ve never made the knockout stages.
So, if you’re not protesting Portugal’s entire participation, you don’t get to comment on how FIFA overturned a misapplication of the rules against Balogun.
Il Tenente retweeted
The real story should be the fact that an official went to slo-motion replay to investigate a potential red card. That’s not legal. Then went on to give Balogun a red for something that Messi didn’t even get a yellow for.
THEN the rest of the world saying this is unprecedented, like FIFA didn’t suspend the final two games of a three-match suspension for Cristiano Ronaldo after a VAR review gave him with a red card in Portugal's penultimate qualifying match vs Ireland.
Ronaldo would've otherwise had to miss Portugal's first two games of the tournament.
I don’t love when politics gets involved in sports, but soccer is so corrupt around the world that it was necessary in this case. It was too harsh to eject Balogun for the last 30mins against Bosnia, to suspend him an extra game on top of that would’ve been corruption.
And THEN I’ve never seen a team be as soft as Belgium! Appealing the appeal?! It’s fine for fans and media to say players should be suspended, but imagine the Knicks releasing statements saying Wemby shouldn’t play the next game😂 The teams themselves should want to beat the best! That’s a great sign for the USA tonight. Belgium is terrified!
Il Tenente retweeted
All former FIFA-certified referees raise your hands.
🙋
That's right I used to both play & ref soccer. Now I mostly just mock it. Until they mess w/ Team USA.
This picture of the collision between Balogun & the B&H player looks awful, but it's complete garbage.
Wrong angle to see what really happened.
Balogun was closer to the ball and the B&H player came from his right AND behind initiating the contact. He caused his own suffering.
The ref got it right initially as a no call. They were both playing the ball. Even in a sport known for pitifully lame flopping sometimes two dudes just crash into each other and do some actual damage. Doesn't mean there was a foul.
The replay guy then saw an opportunity to take the Americans down a notch and the ref bought in and made an egregious red card ejection.
If any call was made it should have been against the B&H player who came from behind and out of the sight line of Balogun.
The outrage now is "How dare the Americans get this absurd attempt to weaken them overturned".
Taking a player out of a once in a lifetime game and tournament should be an exceedingly high bar. This was not.
The people pretending to care about the rules are really mad the Americans aren't getting screwed over. It's a common sentiment and all around the world hating Americans for being the Biggest, Baddest and Best is as much a national sport as Soccer Ball.
I've lived overseas for six years and traveled to several dozen countries. Furriners love to hate on us. I'm not saying it's all underserved, I'm just saying it's not new and it's everywhere.
I can't blame them, we're barely 250 years old and we have accomplished more than any country in history. We have invented more amazing things, freed more people from tyranny and lifted more people from poverty and that stings, especially for the Euros who think they own our history.
They do, the part that we left and left behind. The part we are making now they can only watch and be chafed about. Because they can't even come close.
So they were salivating at knocking a US star out of play on a BS call. Sorry Jacques Belgique, you're going to have to take on a full US squad. Good luck, I hope we make you cry some more in the game tonight.

So, here's the deal on GEN Donahue retiring- without all the handwringing.
Three and four star generals, across the Department of War (or Defense, if you insist) and the other uniformed services, all gain and hold that rank based not on a regular promotion, but rather based upon the billet within the department that they hold.
The jobs that call for a three star, or a four star, are essentially subcabinet positions, in that they require a nomination by the President, and confirmation by the Senate.
GEN Donahue was serving as the commander of US Army Europe-Africa, a four star billet. Prior to 2020, the command was split into US Army Europe (USAEUR), and for Africa, the Southern European Task Force, Africa. Both were three star billets.
After 2020, the two commands were merged, and made a four star command.
But this year, with the increased emphasis on the Pacific, the command has been transitioned to a three star command.
Now, GEN Donahue, by law, cannot continue to serve more than 90 days as a four star unless he is assigned to a four star billet. His choices are rather stark. If he is not reassigned to another four star billet, he can retire as a four star, with the retirement pay of a four star. Or, should he choose to serve longer than 90 days, outside of a billet requiring three or four stars, he would revert to Major General, with the corresponding decrease in pay.
It's entirely reasonable for a person in that situation to chose to retire at the higher pay grade.
This is not punitive. It's simply not being selected for another position. There were only 8 statutorily authorized Army four star billets and now that total will be 7.
Not every four star will be chosen to advance. This isn't the Trump administration firing a dedicated and decorated officer for not being Trumpy enough.
Trump selecting him for Chief of Staff of the Army (or Vice Chief) was far from a foregone conclusion. If you've got eight, or sixteen job applicants, and they're all qualified, and all capable of doing the job, sometimes, you, as President, have an obligation to choose those candidates that you feel will best fulfill your strategic objectives of the Army. That's the prerogative of the President. And, like it or not, there's no asterisk by Trump's name. He is the President of the United States.

Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.
Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.
Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.
Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.

🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP UNLEASHES TOTAL WAR ON THE GOP TRAITORS! 🔥
Senator Tommy Tuberville just dropped the bombshell: President Trump stormed into the Senate GOP meeting and delivered a FIERY halftime speech straight from the locker room of champions!
Trump looked his RINO enemies dead in the eye and ROARED: “You stabbed America in the back with that War Powers Resolution while we were negotiating with Iran!”
The room was shook.
Now Trump is DEMANDING the SAVE AMERICA ACT — Voter ID, Proof of Citizenship, END election theft FOREVER, and NUKE the filibuster so we can finally secure our Republic!
These spineless RINOs and closet socialists aren’t fighting policy… they’re fighting TRUMP because they HATE him more than they love America.
This is the moment.
No more games. No more betrayal.
Are you with President Trump in this fight, or are you standing with the cowards?
The midterms are coming. The Republic is on the line.
RT if you’re ready for TOTAL VICTORY! 🇺🇸💪

Some thoughts after last night’s Hammer and Sickle wave in NYC:
1. The base of the Democrat Party is now post-American, in their ideals and in their voters. Primary winners ran on "ending the American Empire" and blamed American capitalism for 9/11. Why do you think they're fighting so hard to stop the SAVE America Act?
2. Chuck Schumer, the Great Arsonist of the Senate, is not a viable candidate for reelection in 2028. He sacrificed his career on the altar of mass migration. Now mass migration will cannibalize him.
3. Import the third-world. Become the third-world. Half of NYC residents have a language other than English as their primary language. Zohran got 62% of the foreign-born votes and only 31% of the American-born votes. I bet that trend continued for the Leftist winners of these primaries.
4. To those who say Twitter isn't real life, I'm not sure Bluesky/TikTok are either. Online darlings of the left George Conway and Jack Schlossberg got creamed.
5. "We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western Civilization" was the stated goal of a group founded by a soon-to-be congresswoman. If you still don't know what time it is...
6. It is becoming more and more clear that the Left is rallying around explicitly anti-Western views as it loses ground on the trans/DEI front, just as the Left has done in Europe. Watch this space in the 2028 Democrat Presidential primaries. Communists winning elections is not a "win for the right." This will do great damage to our country and to the political outlook of many Americans.
7. We can still win, but the coalition is changing. The battleline is increasingly about the view of America: are we a nation daring to be great again or is America a mistake and a sin worthy only of eradication?
This isn't an arbitrary game or some meaningless competition. Our nation is on the line.

The lesson of New York City elections is that if you continue to allow millions of retarded foreign communists into your country, the communists are going to take over your entire country, block by block and city by city.
They will seize your homes and your retirement accounts and the inheritance you set aside for your children and grandchildren, and there will be nothing you can do to stop them.
You either stop the immigration and send them all back, or you lose your country and everything you own.

This woman discovers the ultimate Karen antidote while visiting Texas. Now, she says she never encountered any in the entire state until she got to the leftist conclave of Austin, where she had to endure three separate Karens. What’s her secret?
Fake a French accent and roast her to her face.
‘Are you one of those Karens we’ve seen online? With that haircut? From California?’
Karen shrinks, gets embarrassed, and walks away.
Pro tip: Europeans are ‘more cultured’ so they instantly self-destruct. Austin in shambles 😂🇫🇷
Now, not sure this all went down like she says it did, but who else is trying this next time?
