What do you call 12 Antifa radicals in body armor?



Since the 1990s, federal agencies and the media have fed Americans a steady diet of panic about shadowy “right-wing militias” — usually ex-military guys obsessed with guns and ready to wage war against the government at a moment’s notice.

The panic went into overdrive after January 6, 2021. But now, in a staggering act of projection, the threat they’ve spent decades warning about has arrived — only it’s coming from the radical left. And still, the feds insist on looking the wrong way.

Antifa cells are evolving. They’re abandoning mass protest tactics for small-cell terror and direct action.

Despite years of breathless rhetoric, the supposed wave of “right-wing terrorism” never materialized. Jan. 6 was a chaotic security failure, not an insurrection. Most of the defendants were unarmed. Many walked through open rope lines. And yet the regime has used that day to smear millions of Americans and justify years of political prosecutions.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) recently called Jan. 6 “the culmination of a sustained effort to undermine our democracy.” But what sustained effort? Four years later, no mass violence, no uprisings. Nothing at all.

Now, compare that to what we’re seeing from the radical left.

Ambush in Alvarado

After months of threatening Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Antifa terrorists launched a coordinated attack on an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. This wasn’t a protest gone wrong. This was a planned ambush.

At least 11 people, dressed in black tactical gear, carried out the assault. First, they fired fireworks at the building, vandalized security cameras, and sprayed graffiti, including “ICE pig,” “traitor,” and other profanities on vehicles. The goal was to draw agents outside.

When two unarmed officers responded, one assailant opened fire from nearby woods, shooting a police officer in the neck. Another attacker, wearing a green mask, sprayed 20 to 30 rounds at the agents.

Authorities arrested 11 suspects. Ten were charged with attempted murder of a federal officer and firearms charges. One was charged with obstruction of justice. Police recovered AR-style rifles (one jammed), body armor, Kevlar vests, helmets, tactical gloves, radios, and Faraday bags to block phone signals.

Andy Ngo linked the attackers to an Antifa cell in Dallas-Fort Worth. It’s a miracle they failed. But what should alarm us is their level of funding, coordination, and willingness to kill.

Just the beginning

On Thursday, during a raid in Camarillo, California, ICE agents again came under fire. There's a pattern forming, and it isn’t isolated.

The same ideology — radical leftism, anti-Americanism, Marxism, anti-Zionism — is fueling a wave of political violence that dwarfs anything seen on the right. Consider the past eight months:

  • Assassination of United Healthcare CEO (Dec. 4): Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan. His manifesto raged against the health care industry. Left-wing voices lionized him. Some disturbing polling shows young Democrats were more likely to condone the killing.
  • Double murder of Israeli embassy staff (May 21): Elias Rodriguez allegedly killed two staffers in D.C., shouting “Free Palestine.” He left a manifesto called “Escalate for Gaza: Bring the War Home.” He had ties to the China-linked Party for Socialism and Liberation.
  • Molotov attack at a pro-Israel rally in Colorado (June 1): Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally, allegedly attacked demonstrators with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. One victim later died. Soliman had reportedly planned the assault for a year.
  • Firebombing of Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home (D-Pa.) (April 13): Cody Balmer allegedly launched a Molotov cocktail into the Pennsylvania governor’s house during Passover. Shapiro, a rare pro-Israel Democrat, was targeted for his stance on Israel. His family was inside.
  • Attack on Atlanta police facility (March 6): A left-wing mob assaulted the Public Safety Training Center with rocks, bricks, and firebombs. Some were charged with domestic terrorism.
  • ICE facility attack in Portland (June 18): Rioters used fireworks and pushed dumpsters toward the facility. ICE responded with nonlethal force. Over 20 were arrested. Many were tied to the same Chinese-linked PSL network.
  • Shooting at No Kings protest in Salt Lake City (June 14): In a murky incident of left-on-left violence, Antifa-style “safety volunteers” shot and killed a bystander after reportedly misidentifying an armed protester.
  • Bomb-maker arrested in West Chester, Pennsylvania (June 14): Kevin Krebs was allegedly found with 13 pipe bombs, 3D-printed gun parts, 21 handguns, tactical gear, and an AR-15. He was arrested at a No Kings protest. He remains held without bail.
  • Attacks on Tesla and GOP offices (January-April, 2025): As Musk joined the Trump administration, Tesla sites nationwide were firebombed and vandalized. One self-described “queer” activist torched both a dealership and a Republican Party office in Albuquerque.

What we’re really dealing with

Not all these incidents were organized by the same groups. But together, they show a dangerous trend: increasing sophistication, coordination, and lethality among left-wing militants.

This isn’t just protest culture gone too far. It’s a movement gearing up for war. They’re training. They’re arming. They’re radicalizing online and in activist spaces. And while conservatives have long viewed themselves as the only side armed, that’s no longer true.

Groups like the Socialist Rifle Association and the John Brown Gun Club are producing radicals like Benjamin Song, a former Marine and the suspected ringleader of the July 4 ICE ambush.

Antifa cells are evolving. They’re abandoning mass protest tactics for small-cell terror and direct action.

What needs to happen now

Step one: Designate Antifa and its associated groups as domestic terrorist organizations. Trace their funding. Investigate every affiliated cell, especially those connected to the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Step two: Ramp up law enforcement. Federal agents need to respond to ICE attacks with overwhelming force. Nonlethal crowd control won’t cut it.

Step three: Empower states. Legislatures should pass laws imposing serious penalties on those who interfere with immigration enforcement. If the feds won’t punish them, the states must.

Step four: Citizens must get serious. Stay armed. Stay trained. Sheriffs should follow the lead of Pinal County’s Mark Lamb and form citizen posses. It’s past time for more robust local defense.

The projection is over

For years, the corporate media and activist left warned you about “armed insurrectionists.” They told you the militia movement was coming. They said America would face domestic political terror.

Well, they were right.

But it wasn’t coming from where they said. It was coming from them.

Mark Levin coins Dems’ new slogan after Boulder attack suspect’s hate crime charges: 'Bring us ... your terrorists'



On June 25, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, was indicted on 12 federal hate crime counts. He also faces state charges, including attempted murder, with a trial pending that could result in significant prison time if convicted.

“He’s an Islamo-Nazi” who “came into this country on a tourist visa in 2022 under the great Joe Biden regime” and then “overstayed his visa,” says Mark Levin. However, “rather than deporting him,” Soliman was granted “a work visa,” which he also overstayed.

It’s this kind of Democrat “humanitarian” impunity that teed up Soliman’s alleged crime, he says.

When Soliman tried to purchase a gun but was barred due to his immigrant status, he decided instead to “burn the Jews,” one of which was an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, Levin recounts.

Sadly, this horrific case of anti-Semitism isn’t an isolated event, but rather one in a chain of Jewish-targeted hate crimes that have spiked since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

This uptick in anti-Semitism is largely due to the Biden regime’s open borders, says Levin, but now that the Trump administration is trying to reverse course and deport criminal illegal aliens, many of whom harbor anti-American sentiments, we have “Democrat party radical judges, the ACLU, and these radical defense lawyers” who are working overtime to prevent deportations. And then the mainstream media, beholden to the Democratic Party, swoops in to affirm and regurgitate their leftist narratives.

At this point, the left's party slogan might as well be: “Bring us your poor, your huddled masses, your terrorists, your Islamists, your Marxists. ... If you disagree, you're obviously a white supremacist," says Levin.

If “the West has a will to survive,” he warns, we'd better find a way to get the “terrorists ... or would-be terrorists” who are currently in our country out. And further, we'd better find a way to address the rampant anti-Semitism festering in our colleges and universities, which Levin calls “indoctrination mills” cultivating “homegrown terrorism" that's "paid for by communist regimes, by Islamist regimes.”

Soliman and his alleged crimes, he says, point to an insidious cultural trend of immigrants who reject assimilation, insisting on “bringing their hate, their evil, their view of their faith, [and] their terrorism into our country.”

“They come to the country for the purpose of destroying the country,” says Levin.

Democrats overwhelmingly vote against resolution condemning anti-Semitic Boulder attack, while lone Republican votes present



The majority of House Democrats voted against a congressional resolution condemning the recent anti-Semitic attack that took place in Boulder, Colorado.

The resolution passed with the support of 205 Republicans and 75 Democrats, while 113 Democrats voted against it. Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia as well as Democratic Reps. Sarah McBride of Delaware, Johnny Olszewski of Maryland, Dina Titus of Nevada, Shomari Figures of Alabama, and Herb Conaway of New Jersey voted present.

Notably, the House passed a similar resolution the same night condemning anti-Semitism, except it passed in a near-unanimous 400-2 vote. Greene again voted present as well as Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

'Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others.'

Although the resolutions are similar, Democrats overwhelmingly disapproved of the first resolution because it noted the immigration status of the suspected attacker, Mohammed Sabry Soliman. Soliman seemingly violated the terms of his tourist visa when he "failed to depart the United States prior to the expiration of his authorized period of stay," according to the resolution.

"The case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman highlights the need to aggressively vet aliens who apply for visas to determine whether they endorse, espouse, promote, or support anti-Semitic terrorism or engage in other anti-Semitic or anti-American activity," the resolution reads.

Greene, who was the only Republican who voted present for both resolutions, said she condemned the anti-Semitic attack but argued that other groups who are victims of violence are being overlooked.

"Anti-Semitic hate crimes are wrong but so are all hate crimes," Greene said in a statement Monday. "Yet, Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others."

"Tonight, the House passed two more anti-Semitism-related resolutions, the 20th and 21st I've voted for since taking office," Greene said. "Meanwhile, Americans from every background are being murdered — even in the womb — and Congress stays silent. We don't vote on endless resolutions defending them."

Greene argued that "prioritizing" anti-Semitic attacks over other acts of violence proliferates the very feelings of resentment that lead to these hate crimes.

"Prioritizing one group of Americans and/or one foreign country above our own people is fueling resentment and actually driving more division, including anti-Semitism," Greene said. "These crimes are horrific and easy for me to denounce. But because of the reasons I stated above, I voted present."

Firebombing terror suspect recorded himself declaring jihad is greater than Zionists before heinous attack: Report



The suspect arrested in the horrific firebombing attack on pro-Israel demonstrators reportedly recorded a video before the incident praising jihad and making other extremist statements.

The video was unearthed by the Middle East Media Research Institute and shows Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old man from Egypt, talking about his love of Islam and saying that he loved jihad more than his mother and his children.

'Allah, his messenger, and jihad for Allah's sake are more beloved to me than you and the whole world are.'

"Allah is greater than anything. Allah is greater than the Zionists. Allah is greater than America and its weapons. Allah is greater than the F-35 planes. Allah is greater than everything else," he said, according to an English translation from MEMRI. "So why do we fear those who are inferior to Allah rather than fear Allah himself?"

The use of the word "Zionists" fit with a statement that Soliman allegedly made to investigators after he was arrested.

"If I told my wife and son every day to do something, but they didn't do it, I would be angry. Maybe I would divorce my wife. Maybe I would kick my son out of home. Then what about Allah, who says to us every day dozens of times: 'Allahu Akbar'? Do not forget: Allahu Akbar," he continued.

"Do not forget that Allah is greater than everything," Soliman continued. "Not the Zionists, America, Britain, France, or Germany — only Allah has the right to be feared. I say to my mother, my wife, my children, my brothers, my people: I attest before Allah and before you that Allah, his messenger, and jihad for Allah's sake are more beloved to me than you and the whole world are."

Soliman was arrested after he allegedly firebombed pro-Israel demonstrators with Molotov cocktails after plotting the attack for a year. Officials said 15 people were injured, as well as one dog.

Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said that Soliman's wife and his five children were detained on Tuesday and fast-tracked for deportation.

“We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it,” she added.

12 countries won’t cut it: Why Trump’s travel ban ultimately falls short



“We will not let what happened in Europe happen in America,” President Trump declared Wednesday, unveiling a new travel ban targeting 12 nations — mostly Islamic-majority countries from the Middle East and Africa.

It’s a strong first step toward fulfilling the original 2015 promise of a full moratorium on immigration from regions plagued by jihadist ideology. But let’s not pretend Europe’s crisis stemmed from poor vetting of criminal records. The real problem was mass migration from cultures openly hostile to Western values — especially toward Jews and, by extension, Christians.

The United States ranks near the bottom of the list for anti-Semitism. That’s something worth protecting — not surrendering to appease lobbyists or foreign governments.

And the new list leaves troubling gaps.

Trump’s call for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” was the defining issue that launched his political movement. Nine years later, the rationale is even stronger — and now, the president has the power to make it happen.

Consider the context: Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the alleged Boulder attacker who shouted he wanted to “end all Zionists,” entered the United States in 2022 with a wife and five children — admitted from Kuwait.

The only question that matters: How many more share Soliman’s views?

The numbers are staggering. By my calculation, the U.S. admitted 1,453,940 immigrants from roughly 43 majority-Muslim countries between 2014 and 2023. That figure doesn’t include over 100,000 student visas, nor the thousands who’ve overstayed tourist visas and vanished into the interior.

Soliman is not an outlier. He’s a warning. And warnings demand a response.

Trump’s January executive order called for a 60-day review by the secretary of state, the attorney general, the Homeland Security secretary, and the director of national intelligence to identify countries with inadequate screening procedures. Four and a half months later — following the Boulder attack — the administration announced bans on nationals from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.

But Trump didn’t mention anti-American or anti-Jewish sentiment — only logistical concerns like poor criminal record-keeping, high visa overstay rates, and limited government cooperation.

That misses the point entirely.

Jew-hatred — and by extension, hatred of the West — isn't just a byproduct of chaos in failed states like Somalia or Taliban-run Afghanistan. It runs deep across the Middle East, even in countries with functioning governments. In fact, some of the most repressive regimes, like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, are openly hostile to the Muslim Brotherhood, yet still export radicalized individuals.

And those individuals know precisely where to go: America, where radical Islam finds more tolerance than in many Islamic countries.

Good diplomatic relations don’t mean good immigration policy. Pew’s 2010 global attitudes survey showed over 95% of people in many Middle Eastern countries held unfavorable views of Jews — including those in Egypt and Jordan, U.S. allies.

The Anti-Defamation League’s global index confirms it: The highest levels of support for anti-Semitic stereotypes come from the Middle East. According to the ADL, 93% of Palestinians and upwards of 70% to 80% of residents from other Islamic nations agree with tropes about Jews controlling the world’s wars, banks, and governments.

Source: Anti-Defamation League

Meanwhile, the United States ranks near the bottom of the list for anti-Semitism. That’s something worth protecting — not surrendering to appease lobbyists or foreign governments.

So why continue importing hundreds of thousands of people from places where hatred of Jews is considered normal? Why welcome migration from countries like Iraq, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia — where assimilation into American civic values is practically impossible?

The answer may lie in the influence nations like Qatar and Saudi Arabia still exert over U.S. foreign policy. But political cowardice is no excuse for policy paralysis.

Twelve countries on the ban list is a good start. But most don’t reflect the true source of radical Islamic immigration into the United States.

Banning immigration from these regions isn’t about infringing civil liberties. It’s about preventing a civilizational crisis. Unlike Europe, which responded to rising Islamic extremism by criminalizing dissent and speech, America can take the wiser path: protect national security without sacrificing the First Amendment.

We don’t need hate-speech laws. We need sane immigration policy.

Unfortunately, bureaucrats in the administration watered down Trump’s original vision. They framed the bans in terms of “data-sharing” and technocratic concerns. They sought narrow criteria and limited political blowback.

But the law is clear. Trump v. Hawaii affirmed the president’s broad constitutional authority to exclude foreign nationals.

That authority exists for a reason.

President Trump rose to power by sounding the alarm about what unchecked migration could do to the West. That warning was prophetic. And now, he has the mandate — and the obligation — to act on it.

Twelve countries won’t cut it. The question now isn’t whether Trump will act — it’s whether he’ll act in time.

Because if we want to avoid Europe’s fate, we don’t just need a new policy. We need the old Trump — unapologetic, unflinching, and unafraid to speak hard truths.

Let’s hope he finishes what he started.

The trans Pride flag is tyranny’s new banner



The Democratic Party released its platform last weekend, not as a document, but as a screenshot — a single, jarring image that says more than any press release ever could.

In it, a shirtless Mohamed Sabry Soliman, fresh off allegedly torching elderly Jewish demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, clutches two Molotov cocktails. Behind him, a transgender Pride flag drapes a government building. He allegedly screams for a “free Palestine” and to “end Zionists.”

We made our peace with this madness. But some of us are done playing along.

That’s not just a snapshot. It’s a gravestone for our civilization. I'm not joking.

And don’t pretend the trans Pride flag in the background is incidental. It’s the whole point.

Someone always rules. Something always gets worshipped. The lie was that we could scrap the cross and the commandments and wind up with a neutral, secular utopia. That was never true. The trans flag over a bomb-thrower is the natural endpoint of a society that replaced truth with affirmation and faith with feelings.

It is an image of what defeat looks like.

A nation that enshrines delusion in law inevitably treats its faithful as conquered. In a state where officials legislate flat-earth theology in the name of gender, Christians no longer govern — they kneel. We surrendered the most powerful weapon ever given to man — the way, the truth, and the life— and, drunk on comfort and cowardice, we let Pride Month replace the holy seasons.

We made our peace with this madness. But some of us are done playing along.

Outside the fever swamps of Colorado, Disney, and your local high school track meet, people are waking up. They’re tired of the forced compliance, the relentless gaslighting, the inversion of every value that built this country. They want their culture back.

That’s why June matters. Don’t let the enemy entrench. Not this time.

We must go straight for the six-color thermal exhaust port. Every trans flag hanging from a taxpayer-funded pole is a false idol — and they all must come down. If we’re ever going to reclaim our freedom and, frankly, our manhood, we must reject the spirit of the age that neuters fathers, silences citizens, and disarms protectors.

And don’t get it twisted: Every generation of American men before World War II would have reacted very differently to a Muslim foreign national throwing firebombs on U.S. soil. That’s exactly why no one ever captured an image like it before. It would have been unthinkable.

So I’ll ask the Connery question: What are you prepared to do? Will you stay conquered? Or will you raise the banner of your faith over the buildings your ancestors built, defended, and died for? Will you lift high the cross?

No, we won’t impose tyranny — we’re not our enemies. But don’t mistake our restraint for softness. We will not give another inch. No more filth in our schools. No more grooming in our curriculum. Our children are off-limits. Test that line, and you’ll find it drawn in law, not chalk.

Understand this clearly: The Muslim firebomber and the trans-flag crusader aren’t opponents. They’re allies. You think they contradict each other? They don’t. They converge. That’s how you get “Queers for Palestine.” It isn’t satire. It’s hell. And it’s coming for your kids.

We’re right back in Eden, listening to the same whispered question: Did God really say? Let’s answer plainly.

Yes, He did.

He said male and female. He said the land belongs to Israel. He said sin destroys. But if you believe in “gender identity” and “Palestine,” then congratulations — you’ve swallowed two of the most diabolical lies ever devised.

This didn’t start with Soliman. It started when we treated the 9/11 attacks as a reason to import more people from the cultures that cheered when the Twin Towers fell. That’s not tolerance. That’s suicide.

But there’s another way. And it begins with learning to say no again. To wicked ideas. To wicked behavior. To wicked systems. This fallen world offers endless invitations to destruction. We need the courage — and the clarity — to refuse.

No, it won’t be easy. But it’s necessary.

It’s the same principle whether you’re trying to lose 100 pounds as I’ve done, quit porn, or crawl out of debt: Nothing changes until you hate your current condition more than you fear the pain it takes to change it. That’s the moment everything begins to shift.

And if you refuse to shift now? If you stay seated, silent, and compliant?

Then God help the next generation for what you’re about to leave them.

Judge halts deportation of family of suspect in horrific Boulder firebombing attack



A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from deporting the wife and five children of the suspect in the horrific anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado.

U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher granted the request on Wednesday to halt the deportations of the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman. The White House said that the family had been fast-tracked to be deported to Egypt.

Soliman entered the U.S. in 2022 under a visa but illegally stayed in the country after it expired. He also had applied for asylum.

More than a dozen people were injured in the terrifying attack on Sunday that included Molotov cocktails. One of the victims is in critical condition.

Investigators said that Soliman had plotted to attack the "Run for Their Lives" group, which had weekly demonstrated for the return of hostages taken from Israel by the Hamas terror group. He allegedly told police he wanted to attack "Zionists" because of his support for the Palestinian cause.

This is a developing story, and additional information may be added.

Open borders, burned streets: Immigration insanity hits Boulder



In Boulder, Colorado, a peaceful march by the Jewish group Run for Their Lives turned into a war zone on Sunday afternoon. A man armed with a “makeshift flamethrower” blasted fire into the crowd, then hurled Molotov cocktails. His name? Mohamed Sabry Soliman — an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa and has remained in the United States illegally since 2023. He injured eight people, ages 52 to 88. One victim, an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, now fights for her life in critical condition.

Witnesses say Soliman screamed “Free Palestine” and other anti-Israel slogans as he attacked. The FBI now calls it what it clearly was: a politically motivated act of terrorism.

If we fail to draw a moral line now, the question won’t be where the Jews can go — but whether any of us are safe.

This wasn’t just another “incident.” It was a targeted attack on Jews in the public square. In 2025. In the United States of America.

America once stood as a beacon for the Jewish people, a haven when the rest of the world slammed its doors shut. But open-border policies have twisted that haven into something else entirely — a daylight nightmare.

More than two decades after 9/11, after all the promises to close the gaps that allowed terrorists to enter and remain in the United States, the basic failure to enforce immigration law has yet again put innocent lives at risk.

This is not a partisan talking point. It is a moral reckoning.

We have traded hard-won lessons for slogans. Sovereignty for sentiment. Borders for ideology. And now anti-Semitism, long dismissed as a relic of the past or a marginal threat, is burning — literally — on our streets.

A harrowing precedent

We have seen this pattern before. On Kristallnacht in 1938, synagogues were set ablaze. Jewish homes and businesses were destroyed. Ordinary citizens were attacked while the world looked away. It was the beginning of a campaign of annihilation that ended in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.

Today, we again see Jewish communities targeted with violence. We see Jewish students harassed on campuses. We hear chants of “From the river to the sea” echoing in our cities — not from fringe radicals but from organized coalitions openly embraced by political leaders, university professors, and corporate brands. And now, we witnessed a woman who escaped the concentration camps’ ovens as a little girl nearly burned alive in broad daylight in a so-called “sanctuary city.”

The press continues its singular obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. We are told that they — builders of factories, champions of border enforcement — are the greatest threat to democracy.

But let me ask plainly: Who is actually committing these acts of violence? Who is calling for the destruction of Israel? Who is throwing firebombs into peaceful protests?

It is not Trump voters. It is radicals animated by an ideology that cloaks hate in the language of justice and casts terrorism as resistance.

If not here, where?

The West is not just a place — it is an idea: built on law, liberty, and the belief that all people are created equal. If we permit lawlessness in the name of compassion, if we excuse anti-Semitism under the guise of activism, we are not advancing justice. We are dismantling the very foundations of our society.

The Jewish people have been expelled from nearly every land on Earth. They were told to go back to where they came from — and now, even in Israel, they are told they do not belong. So where are they supposed to go?

If we do not draw a clear moral line now, the question will no longer be where the Jews can go but where any of us will be safe.

Let’s not deceive ourselves: This is not just about Jewish safety. It is about whether the moral architecture of the West can still hold.

Yes, the stakes are that high. America was meant to be a “city on a hill.” But cities burn when no one defends them — when people forget who they are, or worse, when they stop caring. Let us not be the generation that remembers freedom only by the smell of its ashes.

Now is the time to stand. Not in vengeance but in resolve. Not in fear but in truth.

Remember who we are. Remember what we built. And above all, remember what happens when we choose silence over courage.

Academia fuels the fire that torched Jewish grandmothers in Boulder



It is an eerie and existential feeling to be so close to a terrorist attack, especially with your wife and children.

My family came to Colorado for vacation. We visited Boulder for the mountain views — the kind that lift your eyes toward the heavens and, if you’re paying attention, your heart toward the Creator. But here, where beauty should awaken gratitude, the air smells more like weed than wonder.

While Boulder boasts that it welcomes all 'spiritual paths,' it slams the door on the word of God. It tolerates everything except truth.

Boulder markets itself as spiritual, but it rejects any higher moral authority. Cafés glow with Himalayan salt lamps. Bumper stickers push peace, pansexuality, and “coexistence.” But behind every soft smile, the city enforces a hard orthodoxy — LGBTQ absolutism, DEI dogma, and the gospel of oppressor versus oppressed. You can burn incense. Just don’t quote Moses. You can chant. Just don’t pray to the living God.

Bookstores warn visitors against racism, as if that’s been a problem in their aisles. Trans flags flutter at courthouse doors. Rainbow crosswalks stretch beneath Pride banners. But real justice doesn’t live here any more. The place preaches inclusion and practices exclusion — especially of Christianity.

Hours before Sunday’s fiery attack on mostly elderly women, we passed the Boulder County courthouse on the Pearl Street Mall. My children strolled beside me, laughing in the sun beneath flags meant to signal that biblical morality and equal justice under law are no longer welcome.

Later that day, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, reportedly shouting “free Palestine,” allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at a peaceful gathering of people praying for the hostages held in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.

You might miss Boulder’s spiritual decay if you only look at the Flatirons. But step closer. The library near the creek now serves as a homeless encampment. Spring no longer smells like flowers — it reeks of drugs. Pride Month never ends. Boulder turned it into a liturgical calendar.

And while Boulder boasts that it welcomes all “spiritual paths,” it slams the door on the word of God. It tolerates everything except truth.

Boulder’s decline isn’t an isolated incident. It’s part of a larger collapse. We buried two Israeli embassy workers gunned down in Washington, D.C. Harvard refused to cooperate with the federal probe into campus anti-Semitism, citing “academic freedom” with zero irony. An MIT commencement speaker scolded graduates for not doing more to “free Palestine.” And across the country, publicly funded professors preach that America’s enemies are “whiteness” and “heteronormativity” — and that resistance justifies any cost.

Sam Harris, atheist poster child of the old intellectual left, recently claimed it would be worth ending democracy to stop a Trump presidency. At my own university, Arizona State, I’ve been forced to complete DEI training, confess “whiteness,” recite native land acknowledgments, and “decolonize” my own syllabus. I’ve been told Christianity is oppressive, gender is infinite, and heteronormativity must go.

This isn’t theory. It’s happening right now. In classrooms. To your kids.

I’m not claiming the Boulder suspect read Ibram X. Kendi before allegedly carrying out his firebombings. But this much is clear: He overstayed his visa, wasn’t deported under the Biden administration, and targeted Jewish women in particular — elderly, peaceful, praying — with fire.

That isn’t coincidence. It fits the anti-Semitic, anti-Western pattern sanctified by academia.

Democrats own this.

They defend illegal immigration while insisting illegal aliens commit fewer crimes than citizens — ignoring the obvious truth that none of those crimes would happen if they weren’t here at all. They cry “tolerance” while enforcing LGBTQ+ orthodoxy. They call conservatives bigots while defending anti-Semitism as free expression.

Imagine this exchange:

Democrat: “You’re a racist, fascist bigot.”
Republican: “You support anti-Semitism, child mutilation, open borders, and the suppression of Christianity.”
Democrat: “Correct. Read our platform.”

These aren’t insults. These are bragging rights.

As a tenured professor at the largest public university in the country, I can tell you what many humanities programs now teach: grievance. Anger. Victimhood as identity. They don’t educate. They radicalize.

Check the marketing. Many departments proudly list “activist” as a top career goal. They’re not preparing students to build anything. They’re preparing them to burn it down. One poet said the world needs more activists like a fish needs a bicycle. Academia ignored the advice.

Universities now operate like cults of deconstruction. They tear down the Bible, faith, family, and country. They don't ask students to think. They teach them what to think — and who to hate.

No, not every DEI seminar leads to a Molotov cocktail. But when professors claim that Christianity is oppression, that white families are systems of violence, that gender is a fiction, and that America itself is illegitimate — why are we shocked when students act accordingly?

Smerdyakov acted out Ivan Karamazov’s nihilism. Our students are doing the same.

The solution starts here:

Parents — Stop sending your kids to be trained by people who hate you.
Students — Refuse to pay for indoctrination. Ask hard questions. Better yet, avoid the ideologues altogether.
Legislators — Defund institutions that despise your voters.
Pastors — Prepare your congregations for the wolves that wait in lecture halls.
Donors — Close your wallets. They cash your checks and mock your most cherished beliefs.

Universities hide behind “academic freedom.” Fine. But American freedom means you don’t have to subsidize it. You don’t have to pretend not to see the fire.

And even if the Boulder firebomb had no direct tie to campus ideology — if it was just coincidence — we still have to ask: Why are taxpayers funding professors who hand students the ideological Molotovs?

Hey, teachers! Leave them kids alone.

Gun shop owner says Boulder mass attack suspect obtained gun legally and passed background check



A gun shop owner confirmed that the suspect in the mass attack at the King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, obtained his gun legally and had passed a background check.

CNN was able to identify the gun store from which the suspect bought the gun used in the attack based on information gained from a senior law enforcement source.

"We are absolutely shocked by what happened and our hearts are broken for the victims and families that are left behind," said John Mark Eagleton, the owner of Eagles Nest Armory in Arvada.

"Ensuring that every sale that occurs at our shop is lawful, has always been and always remain, the highest priority for our business. Regarding the firearm in question, a background check of the purchaser was conducted as required by Colorado law and approval of the sale was provided by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. We have and will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement as their investigation continues," Eagleton concluded.

The report said that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa bought a Ruger AR-556 on March 16 just days before the attack that took 10 lives, including one police officer, and injured several others.

Although the suspect had a misdemeanor on his record, that would not have prevented him from purchasing a firearm legally.

KUSA-TV also reported that the gun store was located very close to a restaurant that was owned by the suspect's family.

Also on Friday, law enforcement officials said that they decided to move Alissa from one correctional facility to a new one after he received death threats to his safety.

Prosecutors say Alissa faces ten counts of murder and one of attempted murder, but that they will likely add new charges later. Alissa did not enter a plea at a court hearing on Thursday.

Officials are not concluding what the motive might have been for the suspect, who is a Syrian native. His family has suggested that he suffers from mental illness and that he had grown paranoid in recent years.

"We cannot begin to assess the nature and depth of Mr. Alissa's mental illness until we have the discovery from the government," said Kathryn Herold, an attorney for Alissa, at the Thursday hearing.
