Refugee Criminals

Leave a comment

We’ve all heard about the thousands of ‘refugees’ coming to America ‘free’ (on our dollar).  But what we haven’t heard about is the reports of crime committed by many of them.

The following is copied from a post I received from a sister blogger.  She is one of the most recognized as a serious blogger and who reports ‘real news’ — not fake news.  Please read her report below.

Ten US cases of refugee Islamic terror arrests/convictions

by Ann Corcoran

I’ve been procrastinating about writing this post, because it required work!

I had to go back through my over 2,000 posts on refugee crimes, here, and pull out Islamic terror cases involving refugees. I chose ten, not for any other reason than these ten below are at the top of my mind. And, I think ten is enough to counter the disinformation campaign going on.

For good measure, I have also added (below) a few spectacular crimes involving Muslim refugees.

But, I have to do it (to write this) because clearly the refugee industry has sent out talking points that I am seeing parroted many times each day which pretty much go like this: no refugee has committed an act of terror in the US.  LOL! And, maybe that is because many were arrested and convicted BEFORE they could do anything!

And, let me ask you, when evaluating the fact that you (as a taxpayer) paid for a refugee’s opportunity to come to America and in some cases below even paid to raise the refugee to adulthood, does it matter for your anger level that he/she planned to kill Americans or planned to kill some innocents somewhere else in the world?  So when the refugee advocates make a distinction about the location of the wannabe jihadist’s target, it’s a difference without a distinction to me!

Here are ten that come to mind:

~The Somali (Mohamed Osman Mohamud) arrested on charges he planned to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon was a refugee.  See here in 2010. He was arrested as he planned to detonate a bomb.

mohanad-hammadi

~ Two Iraqi refugees were convicted on charges that they helped Al Qaeda in Iraq and may have killed American servicemen there.  They lied on their refugee applications. Best coverage of 2011 case here by ABC News.  The entire Iraqi flow to America had to be re-screened that year!

~In 2012 Abdullatif Ali Aldosary (an Iraqi refugee) set off a bomb at a Social Security Office in Arizona. Sentenced here.

~As successful asylum seekers, the Boston Bombers were refugees who had benefited from America’s generosity. One of many stories here about the 2012 deadly Boston Marathon attack by the Tsarnaev brothers (Chechens).

~In 2013 Fazliddin Kurbanov was arrested in Idaho and later convicted on terrorism charges. Kurbanov is an Uzbek refugee. See here.

~In early 2016 an Iraqi refugee (Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan) living in Texas was accused of planning to bomb a local popular mall, see story at Newsweek.

~In September 2016, a Somali refugee went on a stabbing spree at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Learn more here about Dahir Adan.  Knife attacks are signature terror acts for devout Muslims.

~Also in September, the Chelsea bomber, Ahmad Rahimi, was arrested and we learned his family came to the US from Afghanistan and were given asylum.  We need to be paying more attention to these asylum seekers since they enter the country completely unscreened and their numbers are on the rise. Story at CNN.  Once granted asylum they are given all the same rights and privileges as the refugees we fly in.

~And, we can’t forget the most recent successful attack by Somali refugee slasher, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, at Ohio State, see here.

~For number ten, I’m lumping the dozens of wannabe Somali refugee jihadists (mostly from Minnesota) who have been identified and/or convicted of wanting to leave the country to fight for al-Shabaab or ISIS. See here.  Several like those in that recent case, were convicted.

Now, here are some horrible crimes I’ve reported over the years!

Esar Met, listens to proceedings in Judge Judith Atherton's court room, at the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Thursday, January 9, 2014. Esar Met is accused of killing 7-year-old Hser Ner Moo, who disappeared on March 31, 2008.

And remember not only did you pay for the refugee’s trip to America and his welfare when he got here, but now you will pay for (in many cases) their lives in prison.

~It is hard to rank murder cases, but for me the top of the list is a horrible rape and murder of a Christian refugee child in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2008.  The Burmese Muslim murderer (Esar Met) is now incarcerated for life. The child was the youngest child and only daughter of a Burmese Christian family.

~In 2013 a Somali refugee in North Dakota was sentenced to life in prison for the 2011 murder of a native American family he had become involved with.

~In this case in 2014, an Iraqi refugee murdered his wife (she was going to leave him in 2012) and he penned a fake note trying to pin the murder on Islamophobes in the neighborhood. He was found guilty here and he wasn’t too happy about it! Even CAIR had gotten involved when he tried to pin the murder on Islamophobic Americans.

~And this is an awful case from Colorado where a gang of Iraqi refugees brutally raped a local Colorado Springs woman—“the worst case in Colorado history.” Diana West did a great investigative report on the story, here, at Townhall.

~And, if you have never seen the 2009 Roanoke, VA kidnapping story, don’t miss it here!  No one ever accused these refugees of being too bright! By the way, these guys only got about 5 years so they are probably out roaming Anytown, USA right now. I doubt they were deported.

Now if that doesn’t raise concern, I’m not sure what will..?

Why Move to Texas?

1 Comment

We’ve been asked numerous times why we moved to Texas.  My answer is simple.  I can name that tune in two notes:  California, Texas.

If you look at California (where we moved from), you’ll find a hard left mentality which leads to numerous laws which protect the guilty — not the innocent.  Illegal aliens in California are basically ‘hands off’.

As recent as last week the chief of police for Los Angeles stated publicly that he would not enforce any laws pertaining to immigration.  Although he is not part of the federal immigration system, he is required to report anyone suspected of a crime to ICE.  San Francisco is clearly a sanctuary city.  Concurrently the state is releasing tens of thousands of felons back into society to commit yet more crimes against society.

Here’s just a little evidence of the insanity occurring on a daily basis in California.  Focus on proposition 57 which redefines ‘violent crimes’ — especially the supporters and opposition at the bottom of the page.

Here in Texas there are four cities which are basically venues similar to California as a whole (maybe I meant ‘hole’?).  Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are way left compared the the other 70% of the state.  Where we’re fortunate (for the time being), we have a Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General with right thinking brains.  As a result, this state is moving further toward being the best state to live in this country.

Please read the following article regarding the priorities in our next session of Texas congress.  Only in Texas folks.

So, it should be rather clear at this point why a ‘good old boy’ from communist central would move to Texas..?!

There has been a great deal of controversy regarding the two subjects in this article for several months.  We’ve seen Europe implode under the weight of criminal activity and harassment of women throughout that region.  Now we potentially face the same here in our not too distant future.

The following article describes these issues in plain talk addressing the matter in an objective way — regardless of what emotional energy is involved in the topic.  If you read this article you may learn some things about how this country has been marching toward a ‘lowering of our standards’ for numerous years!  As planned.

Trump’s Stance On 2nd Amendment

1 Comment

Many have said that Trump speaks in far too vague a language and it is unclear what he ‘really means’.  Well, it would appear, that is coming to an end.  Read the following on his views regarding guns in this country.

Trump Releases His Plan for 2nd Amendment

One common criticism of billionaire businessman and President-elect Donald Trump is that he far too often speaks in vague generalities and rarely offers specifics about where he stands on the issues.  That is no longer the case, at least regarding his stance on gun rights and the Second Amendment, after Trump released his official policy position on his campaign website.

“The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon.  Period”, the position paper began.  Trump went on to explain that the right to keep and bear arms is a right that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.  He also rightly denoted the Second Amendment as “America’s first freedom,” pointing out that it helps protect all of the other rights we hold dear.

In order to protect and defend that right, Trump proposed tougher enforcement of laws that are already on the books, rather than adding new gun control laws.  Citing a successful program in Richmond, Virginia, that sentenced gun criminals to mandatory minimum five-year sentences in federal prison, Trump noted that crime rates will fall dramatically when criminals are taken off the streets for lengthy periods of time.  Trump also proposed strengthening and expanding laws allowing law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves from criminals using their own guns, without fear of repercussion from the government.

Noting that many of the recent high-profile shooters had clear mental problems that should have been addressed, Trump proposed fixing our nation’s broken mental health system by increasing treatment opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill, but removing from the streets those people who pose a danger to themselves and others.

Trump would do away with pointless and ineffective gun and magazine bans and suggested fixing the current background check system already in place, rather than expanding a broken system.  Furthermore, Trump proposed a national right to carry, a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would compel states to recognize the concealed carry permits of any other state, exactly as drivers licenses from anywhere are accepted by all states today.

Finally, Trump would lift the prohibition on military members carrying weapons on military bases and in recruiting centers, allowing trained military members to carry weapons to protect themselves from attacks by terrorists, criminals and the mentally unstable, as we have seen recently.

Trump’s bold and fearless defense of the Second Amendment earned him the coveted endorsement of the National Rifle Association. His warning that Hillary Clinton wanted to “abolish the Second Amendment” sounded the alarm to millions of Constitution-loving patriots who wanted their rights protected.

Those who cherish our right to keep and bear arms should be pleased by Trump’s stated position on the Second Amendment.  Of course, liberal anti-gunners will hate this and will do whatever they can to be obstructionists to rid our country of the 2nd amendment.

Opportunities for Mr. Trump

1 Comment

Whew!!!  We dodged a bullet.!  Eight years of communist leadership is more than enough!!  Imagine what another eight would do!?

So now that Donald is our newly elected leader, it would seem that he has numerous opportunities to excel!  How you ask?  Here are just a few that popped into my head in the last day.

  1. Refugee Immigration:  He said that we would put the brakes on this idea pronto.  Let’s hope he does before it is too late.  Here in Texas we’re trying to push back against the out of control federal nemesis.  The fed wields a lot of power!  Here’s an article on what our Texas leaders have tried.  If this subject goes on unchecked, we could face disastrous consequences.
  2. Hillary’s Criminal activity:  Trump stated that he would create a special commission to address the injustice regarding her actions.  To follow through on this thought would accomplish a great deal if handled ‘honestly’.  If evidence were presented, she were to be convicted in a court of law, and sentenced fairly, it would send a LOUD message to the people of this country that in fact there is ‘equal justice under the law’ in the United States.  Which is long overdue!
  3. Unemployment in the U.S.:  In 1993, under then president Clinton, he chose to change the formula for calculating the unemployment numbers for America.  This is why we are now facing the ‘BS’ numbers we are told daily today by our Pravda driven media.  If Mr. Trump were the man of bravado that he tries to depict, he would address this travesty.  He could declare (by executive order) that the formula for this calculation would be set back to the 1993 status.  He then could accept that the now 9.5% unemployment number is his responsibility.  By using that number as a ‘true’ measure, he could attack the problem and demonstrate his true ability to ‘make a difference’.  If we stuck with the current 4.9% and he reduced unemployment 30%, it would then only change to 3.4%.  But if he used the realistic number of 9.5% it would then be 6.6% — a much greater ‘looking‘ improvement.

My point is that although he faces significant challenges, he has the opportunity to be one of the greatest presidents in the history of this country.  After all, he has been preceded by the worst president this country has seen.  He faces an uphill climb, but has the chance to catch the brass ring of the Whitehouse.

White-lash — A Concept Only a Communist Would Consider

Leave a comment

You’ve heard it all of your life — “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about.”  Well apparently Mr. Van Jones has never heard of that concept.  But what he has demonstrated over and over is his ability to make everything about race.  He and his minions including his leader Obama want to make things about race — everything.  Why?  Because it divides people.  Why divide people?  Because he is part of the evil force trying to overthrow this country — to ‘fundamentally transform it’.  Transform into what?  A communist state where a minor few wield all of the power and have all of the money.

Although our election is over, the hate speech and anti-American rhetoric is not.  The evil progressive movement in this country will not give up.  Because we threw out the criminal in chief wannabe, it does not mean that the battle has ended.  It means that it has now gone from a clandestine effort to an all out war on America.  I predict that we will hear this sort of speech for years to come.  But we need to remain vigilant and strong against the evil that is trying to destroy us.

Listen to him tell of the ‘fear’ that exists in this country.  You’d think we were headed back to the 50’s with future race riots..?  In brief, BS!!

America’s Internet Attack

Last Friday our country was assaulted (again) via the internet.  Although one can argue if they like — “it’s no big thing” — the key point is ‘it’ is getting to be a bigger problem!  Read the following article and keep in mind this picture:

That, is the degree of impact to the internet within America this last incident alone!  Trivial?  I think not.!!  And what is key, is the fact that this will just continue to become more frequent and more serious.  Hopefully our ‘leadership’ will catch on to the fact that we are at war now and it’s probably going to get more serious!!

Just one more scary point.  The same people protecting us from this problem are the same ones protecting us from an EMP attack..?!  Ya gotta love these guys…?!

China and Russia — It’s Just a Coincidence

1 Comment

Please read the following article which describes China’s expansion in the Pacific along with the aggressive moves of Russia in recent months.  One can ignore these actions just as America did prior to WWII with Japan.  But how did that end up??

I’ve injected just a couple of ‘commentaries’ to try and stitch the information together to make the ‘picture’ or relevance clearer.

Shifting Alliances: US Allies Line Up Behind Russia and China

News Image   October 25, 2016

Since the end of the Cold War, the position that the United States has enjoyed as the world’s superpower has not been seriously challenged, but that may be starting to change.
The rise and later decline of the European Union did nothing to unseat the United States, as the two maintained a strong alliance through NATO. Venezuela, Iran, Pakistan and other nations have not come close to upsetting the cart either, as each has lacked the strong web of alliances that the US possesses.
But now, with the continued rise of China as an economic and regional power and the expansionist ambitions of Russia at their height, there has come a hint of a reorganization of global power structures.
In recent weeks, four formerly strong allies of the United States have either publicly broken ties with Washington and aligned themselves with Russia or China, or they have moved hard in that direction.
Much of the soft power of the United States is built upon a strong network of economic, cultural and diplomatic ties, not to mention the natural military alliances they naturally bring.
Could this be the start of a major move to the East for global power structures?
Philippines
The Philippines has long been a close ally of the United States, that is until the election of Rodrigo Duterte who took office as the new Philippine President on June 30th of this year.
The outspoken Duterte, who has a history of violence, has worked to live up to his campaign promises to stamp out drugs with a bloody campaign of extra judicial killings by the police. Following US criticism of the nightly killings of drug suspects, Duterte lashed out at both President Obama and the US.
In a recent summit with Chinese officials in Beijing, Duterte clarified the new direction for the Philippines when he said, “I announce my separation from the United States. America does not control our lives. Enough bull**.“
China and the Philippines have been locked in a dispute over territorial boundaries and fishing rights in the South China sea, but this change of course seems to have smoothed over many of their problems as China has announced it will be lifting the trade sanctions imposed on 27 Philippine fruit exporters and offering the Philippines a $9 billion loan on development projects.
The Philippines has canceled the joint military exercises planned with the United States and has also announced they will be expelling the US troops currently assisting the Philippine military in the fight against Islamic militants in the country.
In addition to cementing his new alliance with China, Duterte called President Obama a “son of a whore” and spoke to the US directly when he warned, “For as long as I am there, do not treat us like a doormat because you’ll be sorry for it. I will not speak with you. I can always go to China.” And go to China he has.
Commentary:  What is the significance of the Philippines joining with China?  First, let me point out that China has been ‘building’ islands several miles off the shores of the mainland — all of them are now air bases for military operations.  (Friendly gesture?)  Now they are romancing the Philippine islands.  We are now talking a major military asset which gives them many miles offshore to use for ‘hops’.  Hops to where?  How about Australia?  Do you see the trend?  Small to bigger, to larger and further, etc.
Egypt
Recent talks held on Syria in Lausanne, Switzerland gave an indication of the shifting loyalties within Egypt, a country that has enjoyed a long friendship with the United States.
Iran invited Egypt to the negotiations in an attempt to have another pro-Assad voice at the table to balance out the US-backed coalition of Arab states. As the largest Sunni Arab nation in the Middle East, Egypt can act as a powerful counterweight to Saudi Arabia.
Pulling closer to both Iran and Russia, most visibly on the question of Syria, can be seen as strengthening regional alliances but also a demonstration to the US that Egypt has other options now, according to HA Hellyer, a fellow at the Atlantic Council and London’s Royal United Services Institute.
In response to Egyptian backing of the Russian-Iranian support for Assad, Saudi Arabia cut off its 700,000-ton monthly shipment of refined petroleum to Egypt. Is it any coincidence that Egypt is now looking forward to the first joint Russian-Egyptian military drills on Egyptian soil at the end of this month?
These preliminary exercises, that go by the name “Protectors of Friendship 2016”, will involve 500 soldiers, 15 helicopters and fixed-wing craft and 10 ground-based vehicles and will feature the first parachute drop of Russian troops in history on Egyptian territory.
Russian news agencies have also reported that Egypt has offered the possibility of granting Russia the use of military bases across the country. Furthering its territorial ambitions, Russia is also looking forward to renovating a disused Soviet naval base in the Egyptian town of Sidi Barani, not far from Libya.
Russia would use it as an air base and plans are underway to have it operational by 2019, a move that would strengthen its striking power in the region.
It also shouldn’t be overlooked that Russia is offering nuclear power to Egypt in exchange for its alliance or that ties have also grown closer between Egypt and China after a series of multi-billion-dollar development projects underwritten by China, including the $20 billion investment in a new Egyptian capital and $1.7 billion in financing for 15 major infrastructure projects across Egypt.
Iraq
Iraq has been dependent on the United States since its capitulation after the invasion and the US has provided unprecedented military and economic support.
Yet it is now in the fight against ISIS in Mosul that the former Prime Minister and current Vice-President Nuri al-Maliki has begun more openly to advocate for closer relations with Russia.
According to one Arab intelligence official once the battle for Mosul is over and the Islamic state is eradicated, the Iraqi government plans to enhance ties with Russia and possibly even create a strategic alliance.
Asking for closer ties with Russia will mean distancing themselves from the United States. Thus the Iraqi government has begun to walk a tightrope between the two powers.
As with Egypt, perhaps they see the opportunity to play rivals against each other, hoping that both the US and Russia will vie for their friendship.
What is clear though is that as Iraq moves closer to Iran and Russia, its alliance with the US weakens and Western influence is further pushed aside.
Turkey
Perhaps the most extreme and even shocking reversal of loyalty is taking place in Turkey, a nation that was just a year ago on the path to EU membership and had been held up as a strong ally of the United States.
Despite the downing of a Russian fighter last November, relations have begun to warm between Ankara and Moscow. The US refusal to surrender cleric Fethullah Gulen after the July 15th coup attempt has incensed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Turkish military is ranked second only to the US within the NATO alliance, so its pivot towards Russia and China is no small matter.
Michael Maloof, a former Pentagon official, recently told reporters that “the rapprochement between Turkey and Russia launches a new dynamic, not in relations between Ankara and Moscow, but also in the whole Middle Eastern region.
“I think Turkish President Erdogan, basically, has given up on NATO and even the EU and is pivoting more towards the East,” he us quoted as saying.
Shifting Alliances
The United States may still be the sole world superpower, but this position is being steadily undermined by a shift in alliances that promise to have a profound impact on global politics in the years to come.
It is difficult to predict which nations will be the next to draw closer to Russia and China, but for every one that does, the world view of authoritarianism grows stronger.
Someday soon, we may wake up to a world that turns on the whims of Moscow and Beijing and in which the cultural, political and economic models are Russian and Chinese.
Then, again, perhaps the stage is being set and the cast is assembling in the wings, preparing to take their places in fulfillment of the prophecy of Ezekiel 38.
Commentary:  As all of the ‘chess pieces’ are put into place, America’s security wanes.  This is a dangerous world already, we don’t need it more so!  And given the above ‘chess moves’ I see the U.S. being pushed into a corner that will get progressively smaller.  Not good…

Slippery Slope and The EPA

Leave a comment

Most people don’t know that the federal government owns nearly 75% of all U.S. soil west of the Mississippi.!!  It all started decades ago when Teddy Roosevelt decided to ‘commandeer’ land for ‘public use’ — i.e., parks.

Since, this process has continued without a great deal of public opinion involved.  Hence a lot of the western states (where all the good stuff is in the ground) are now owned/controlled by the feds.  Ah, but it doesn’t end there…

If you have any ‘liquid adult refreshments’ handy you can read this article describing the EPA’s recent ‘definition‘ of a wetland and a ‘mountain range’.  Make sure you sit down first.

Doesn’t that just make your day!!?  Let see…  what other types of countries do these sort of things?  Ah, yes.  Communist countries!!  And people think I’M nuts!!?

I have written numerous articles about EMP’s (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) for years now.  Most people think they are all a matter of scare tactics.  However do not dismiss EMP’s because they are a depressive topic — that ostrich reaction may cost you.

I just received information regarding the messiah’s writing of yet another executive order — about EMP’s.  You might consider reading this article and take it to heart.  It could be very important to you.!!?  If after reading it you’re still a skeptic, please read the link following it.
