President Donald Trump denounced the shooting of two National Guard members as an “act of terror” in remarks Wednesday night and said the suspect was originally from Afghanistan.
Referring to the “monstrous ambush-style attack just steps away from the White House,” Trump said, “This heinous assault was an act of evil, an act of hatred and an act of terror. It was a crime against our entire nation.”
He did not name the suspect, but said the suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Wednesday had come from Afghanistan to the United States in 2021.

I was working with our European divisions (every Country as it was IBM) and on 9/12 they were all “We are Americans too”.
By the next day, they were back to their favorite sport, trashing America. Everyone shoots for number one, and since Bush was a republican, the hate came back quickly and with even stronger wishes for the USA to be harmed.
Let’s not forget that I’m married to a European. Her family didn’t think that we should protect our country because of the violence it would cause. They stopped being my in-laws that day and became my wife’s family. I had mentioned that this was the biggest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
An analyst I was forced to deal with was saying how the US didn’t have to fight 2 fronts in WWII. I calmly reminded him that we had the Japanese going on at the same time. Yes, he was an asshole and an ignorant one at that.
I don’t even go to see them anymore because the liberal press in Europe can out liberal the US liberal press. They believe every word and the hate they have for Trump is only matched by Keith Olberman and Rosie O’Donnell.
Anyway……
Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Most folks who were adults at that time remember it like it was yesterday.
Many of us have also had years when we’ve felt like distancing ourselves from the anniversary commemorations. Even for those not directly impacted, memories of that day—and the days that followed—still bring back traces of a trauma we’d never felt before. A feeling of insecurity we’d never experienced. Perhaps actor Tony Danza summed it up best when he said “I don’t like revisiting how I felt.”
In some ways the trauma seems to deepen with time, as new layers of grief emerge–like memories of loved ones who shared those moments but are now gone.
This year I decided to crack open the door and look back, if only for a little while.
In doing so, I came across some videos I’d never seen before–interviews with celebrities of that time period discussing where they were on 9-11.
Ten years after the attacks, producer and director David P. Levin released his documentary “When Pop Culture Saved America: A 9-11 Story.” Originally produced for A&E Networks, it explored how entertainment, comedy, and music helped Americans cope and rebuild in the months that followed. Levin spoke with numerous celebrities for the documentary, later posting extended interviews on his “Pop Goes the Culture” YouTube channel.
I’m playing with the title and the concept, but I can cover more territory this way. When I want to pontificate, I’m more than happy to upset or make a lot of people happy.
I’m trying new things to keep it interesting. I’ll keep them brief, this isn’t the Drudge Report.
The previously nonexistent relations between Iran and China began to blossom after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is no coincidence that pariah nations seem to find each other and do business together, in one way or another, although Islamists and communists make strange ideological bedfellows. An alignment of the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism (for 39 years in a row according to the US State Dept) with a country that has practiced cultural genocide and forced organ harvesting for decades could be construed to be a match made in Hell.
Be that as it may, the relationship started slowly and followed an upward trajectory that paralleled China’s economic and military expansion and outreach that has been greatly accelerated by Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Some of the highlights:
China recognized the IRI in February 1979. Relations improved after China shifted away from supporting global communist revolutions in pursuit of “diplomatic pragmatism” and economic modernization in the 1980s. In Iran’s case, this meant withdrawing support from the communist Tudeh Party in favor of state-to-state diplomatic relations.
China provided approximately $2 billion worth of military hardware to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), including 107mm rockets, aircraft, main battle tanks, and surface-to-air missile systems.
In 1984, the Isfahan Nuclear Research Center was opened with Chinese assistance, which included technical support for the installation of a 30-kilowatt Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR), a Light Water Sub-Critical Reactor (LWSCR), a Heavy Water Zero Power Reactor (HWZPR), a Fuel Fabrication Laboratory (FFL) for producing experimental nuclear fuel, and a Zirconium Production Plant (ZPP) for manufacturing alloys used in nuclear reactors, all of which were vital for Iranian nuclear research.

China has much to lose depending on the outcome of the Israel-Iran war. As the largest buyer of Iranian oil, China imports over 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports. Any disruption of flow of those exports through the Strait of Hormuz, whether through blockage or severe damage to Iran’s oil infrastructure, would be a significant blow to China’s economy.
Israeli and US attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure reminds the world of the important Chinese assistance in support of Iran’s nuclear research and development capabilities. While ostensibly developed for “peaceful use of nuclear energy,” the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center has long been suspected of contributing to Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program, and China was the main player in jump-starting Isfahan when France ended its technical support after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Were any of the 1000+ Chinese who have left Iran since the 14 June attacks began involved in Iran’s nuclear programs in any way?
Finally, in pursuit of its goal to displace the US in the Middle East, China would lose significant diplomatic leverage with Gulf Cooperation Council states if it China sides with Iran in a major way (diplomatically or material support).
I’ve heard jokes that It’s 72 Virginians with a banjo that is starting to play.
This is a very cogent discussion, but I still think they’re all in hell and the worst of the lot like Khomeini, Mao, Muhammad, Stalin, and the guys who flew the airplanes into the twin towers, become the virgins for others.
Now to be serious:
Most in the West don’t know much about Islam, and what they know is often incorrect. But what about the 72 virgins?
Are they real? Do Muslim men believe that after death, they will be rewarded with 72 virgins? The question needs to be addressed, because it has been suggested that there was an incorrect translation, and the men are getting raisins, not virgins. And, perhaps out of envy or jealousy, some claim the virgins are old, ugly, and in constant PMS. So what’s the truth about the 72 virgins?
Muslims believe that after they die, they will be admitted into paradise, where the weather is never too hot or too cold. In paradise, there is an abundant supply of all kinds of food, as well as rivers of water, milk, wine, and honey. There is a marketplace where men can choose and enter the image of a handsome man, after which they will remain 30 to 33 years old. In paradise, there is no waste, such as urine; however, some believe that waste is secreted as sweat, which has a pleasant, musky odor. In paradise, men recline on jeweled couches, facing one another, while each is served by thousands of immortal boys.
The virgins (Hur, Houris, and Houri) are special creations for the men in paradise. They have white skin and beautiful eyes and are hairless except for their eyebrows and heads. They have fully rounded, pear-shaped breasts that don’t sag or hang. Every man will have between 72 and 100 virgins as wives. Men have sex 100 times a day; they are never exhausted, and sex doesn’t become boring or routine. After sex, the non-virgins become virgins again. The virgins desire only their husbands and are never annoying or ungrateful. And when the husband returns from being away, the virgins tell him that he is more handsome and graceful than when he left.
Although the verses about paradise and virgins are believed to have been revealed early in Muhammad’s prophecy, they had little impact on attracting followers. After 12 years of preaching, when he left Mecca for Medina in 622, Muhammad had between 80 and 200 followers. In Medina, conditions were initially so bleak that the survival of Islam was uncertain. Then, just in time, Muhammad revealed new verses from the Quran that provided a way for his followers to attain paradise while they were still alive. These verses gave Muslims permission to loot, murder, rape, rob, and enslave non-Muslims. Thus, rather than waiting to die, Muslim men could immediately reward themselves with loot and women. And, as a bonus for looting and raping, the Islamic god gave them a fast pass into paradise after death. Promising Muslim men loot and women proved to be an effective recruiting tactic, as eight years later, Muhammad left Medina with an army of 10,000 bandits and rapists to conquer Mecca.
The path to paradise differed during Muhammad’s life. Initially, when he needed large numbers of morally compromised, violent men to loot, rape, and force non-Muslims to submit to Islam, jihad was the only path. In fact, jihad was an obligation, and those who died without participating met the Islamic god with a religious imperfection or as a hypocrite.
Then, with a never-ending supply of men eager for loot and women, Muhammad began to provide his followers with alternative paths to paradise. For example, when a blind follower asked if he was going to hell because he couldn’t go on jihad, Muhammad quickly revealed a revelation about the blind and lame being exempt from jihad. Others who couldn’t go on jihad wondered what would happen to them, and again, there were exceptions, such as providing for a jihadist’s family when he was away. Then women wanted to know if they had to go on jihad; Muhammad said women’s jihad was making a pilgrimage to Mecca. Muhammad’s followers continued to ask if certain conditions allowed them to enter paradise, and the list expanded to those who died from the plague, diarrhea, cholera, or pleurisy. The list then expanded to those who drowned, and to those who were burned or crushed to death. Soon, the list also contained those who died during childbirth, or who died in bed, “by any kind of death.” When a woman asked if having three children die gained her entry into paradise, Muhammad said it would. Another quickly asked if two dead children were enough, and again, he said they were. Then he was asked if one dead child was sufficient. Again, the answer was yes. The list even included those who became seasick and vomited. Finally, Muhammad said all Muslims go to paradise, unless they opt out.
There were concerns about whether women were allowed into paradise because of two consecutive verses in the Quran. The first says the men in paradise are married to virgins with “wide, lovely eyes.” The second says that in paradise, men are joined by their “believing offspring,” with no mention of their believing wives. The absence of women in paradise is partly explained because they are overrepresented in hell, since they are less intelligent than men and they swear a lot. They are also annoying and ungrateful to their husbands, and a wife is forbidden from entering paradise if her husband is displeased with her. Even if earthly wives were admitted to paradise, it doesn’t appear they were united with their husbands. The virgins told them that their husbands were only passing guests with them, and that after death, their husband would join his non-annoying, grateful virgin wives in paradise.
One additional issue related to entering paradise is the idea of predestination. Muhammad said that from birth to death, Muslims’ lives are predestined, including who goes to hell and who goes to paradise. This caused some problems when Muslims, including one of Muhammad’s daughters and her husband, stopped praying and attending the mosque. When Muhammad confronted them, they claimed it wasn’t their fault, since their behavior was predestined and beyond their control. They also said it didn’t matter what they did or didn’t do because their fate was already decided. Muhammad quickly came up with the idea of “Best Deeds,” which included actions that demonstrate belief in the Islamic god, such as praying, attending the mosque, and going on jihad. Muhammad told his followers that those going to paradise found the Best Deeds easy to do, and that performing the deeds was a sign they were predestined for paradise.
So the answer to the question is that Muslims believe that the men in paradise will have 72 wives. The wives are virgins, beautiful, promiscuous, and grateful to and respectful toward their husbands.
Most AT readers probably don’t find the Muslim concept of the afterlife very appealing and dismiss it as the fantasy of young, immature, chubby, socially awkward, pimple-prone males. The problem is that Muslims believe in the 72 virgins, and that to be admitted into paradise, they have the obligation and the right to loot and rape with impunity. Thus, Western countries that have admitted Muslims have seen an epidemic of rapes of native women by Muslim men. Allowing Muslims into the country is demonstrating not diversity, but stupidity.
Radio Europe published a comparison of reported rape cases in four European countries between 2000 and 2023. In England and Wales, reports surged from 8,593 in 2000 to 68,109 in 2023 — a nearly seven-fold increase. In Germany, the number rose from 8,133 to 39,029, an almost fourfold rise. France also saw a dramatic escalation, with reports jumping nearly fivefold from 7,500 to 42,400.
Poland, however, bucked the trend. Reported rapes fell from 2,399 in 2000 to 1,127 in 2023.
There are over 2 million African slaves in Arab colonized lands, and hundreds of thousands more bring bought and sold by Arabs and Islamists in Nigeria, Sudan, Mauritania, Algeria, and more.
In fact, Qatar, you know, the country that president Trump has cozied up to so closely, is one of the main hubs for trading African slaves.
The Arab slave trade has not stopped since it started in the 7th century.
This is what they don’t want you to see while they play in your face about Gaza; another place whose Afro-Palestinian population exists because slaves were trafficked from African countries.
Gaza, a place that still refers to Blacks as abeed (slave), and still has a town for Blacks called slave-town.
And you think they truly want us Black people standing in solidarity with them for a just cause? We are literally a slave to them.
I’m not talking about one Arab guy said something racist 6 years ago. I’m talking about their way of life.
Treason isn’t always a single, dramatic act. Sometimes, it’s a slow-acting poison, administered over years to weaken a nation from within.
Barack Obama didn’t just sell secrets; he sold out America’s future, its power, and its pride, one “fundamental transformation” at a time.
He was a traitor in plain sight.
This thread is the toxicology report.🧵Number five will infuriate you.
The Apology Tour. His presidency began with a global tour apologizing for American power. In Cairo, he elevated the Muslim world. In Europe, he denigrated America’s “arrogance.” He signaled to our enemies that the era of American confidence was over, inviting the chaos that followed.
The Betrayal in Benghazi. On September 11, 2012, he left four Americans, including an Ambassador, to die at the hands of terrorists in Libya. Then, he and Hillary Clinton stood over their caskets and lied to their families, blaming a YouTube video to protect his re-election campaign. It was an act of supreme and unforgivable dishonor.
The Iran Nuclear Surrender. He sent pallets of cash, in the dead of night, to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror in Iran. His “deal” did not stop their nuclear program; it funded it. He paved their path to a bomb while alienating our most critical allies in the region, like Israel.
The Syrian “Red Line” Humiliation. He drew a “red line” on Assad’s use of chemical weapons, then did nothing when Assad gassed his own people. This single act of cowardice shattered American credibility on the world stage and gave a green light to adversaries like Vladimir Putin to act with impunity.
The Bergdahl Betrayal. He traded five high-level Taliban commanders—terrorists now back on the battlefield—for Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who deserted his post. In doing so, he betrayed every soldier who risked their life searching for Bergdahl and signaled to the world that America negotiates with terrorists.
The Gutting of the U.S. Military. Through budget sequestration and a deliberate strategy of “leading from behind,” his administration hollowed out our armed forces. He shrunk the Navy, aged the Air Force, and demoralized our troops with social experimentation, leaving America weaker and more vulnerable.
Weaponizing the IRS. His IRS, under Lois Lerner, systematically targeted and persecuted conservative and Tea Party groups to silence them ahead of an election. This was a direct assault on the First Amendment, turning the most feared agency of the state against his own political citizens.
The “Fast and Furious” Scandal. His Department of Justice intentionally allowed thousands of guns to be sold to Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the murder of hundreds, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. They armed our enemies and got an American hero killed.
The Obamacare Deception. He looked the American people in the eye and repeatedly promised, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” It was a calculated, knowing lie—named “Lie of the Year”—designed to defraud the public into accepting a government takeover of their healthcare.
Spying on the Press. His DOJ secretly seized the phone records of Associated Press journalists and formally labeled Fox News reporter James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator” to monitor his communications. When the press exposed his secrets, he treated them like spies.
The Godfather of the Russia Hoax. The entire seditious conspiracy to frame Donald Trump began in his administration. It was his FBI that launched Crossfire Hurricane. It was his DOJ that obtained the fraudulent FISA warrants. He laid the groundwork for the coup against his successor.
The War on American Energy. He used the EPA as a weapon to block pipelines, kill the coal industry, and strangle domestic oil and gas production with crushing regulations. His policies made America weaker, poorer, and more dependent on foreign dictators for our energy.
Releasing Terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. His administration released hundreds of terrorists and enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay. Unsurprisingly, a significant number returned directly to the battlefield to kill Americans and our allies. He knowingly freed our enemies.
The Shadow President. Even now, he operates a shadow government from his mansion in Washington D.C., coordinating the “resistance” and the Deep State’s war against the current Trump administration. He never relinquished power; he merely moved it into the shadows.
This is not a record of policy differences. It is a clear and undeniable pattern of action designed to weaken America’s standing, security, and sovereignty. This is the charge sheet of a man who worked against the very nation he swore an oath to protect. He must be held accountable.
While America grapples with its own dark past of slavery, a massive chapter of history gets buried by academics who fixate on Western guilt.
Justin Marozzi’s eye-opening book, Captives and Companions, shines a light on the Islamic world’s slave trade, spanning over a millennium with unmatched scale and savagery. This isn’t ancient news, but it is a wake-up call for historians.
Marozzi estimates that from the 7th century to the 20th, up to 17 million Africans and Europeans were enslaved in Muslim lands, dwarfing the transatlantic trade’s 11-15 million.
Brutal raids targeted black Africans for labor and white Europeans for markets in North Africa and the Middle East. The sheer numbers reveal a system that caused more deaths and misery than often admitted.
In the opulent courts of Abbasid Baghdad, slave concubines like the poet ʿInān rose to fame, dazzling with wit and beauty while navigating deadly risks.
These women, often captured from distant lands, became cultural icons but remained property, their lives hanging on a ruler’s whim. Yet, their stories mix triumph with tragedy, showing resilience amid cruelty.
Raiders from Barbary coasts struck fear across Europe, hitting places like Devon, Cornwall, and even Iceland in 1627, where pirates abducted over 400 people into lifelong bondage.
Witnesses recounted horrors: families torn apart, villages burned, and captives sold far from home. This white slavery terrorized coasts for centuries, a truth sidelined in today’s narratives.
Castration created eunuchs for harems, with Victorian-era Sudan alone seeing 35,000 boys die yearly from botched operations to supply 3,500 survivors.
Shocking footage has emerged online showing a deranged Islamist threatening to blow up a plane and threatening President Trump before passengers manage to save the day.
On Sunday, an EasyJet flight to Glasgow, Scotland, from Luton, England, was diverted after a passenger threatened to blow up the plane. As TGP readers know, Trump is currently in Scotland for trade meetings and to play golf.
In the footage, a man of apparent Middle Eastern descent is seen standing in the aisle calling for Trump’s death and announcing to the world he had a bomb.
“I’m going to bomb the plane!” the madman can be heard saying in the video. “Death to America! Death to Trump!”
He proceeds to scream “Allahu Akbar!” repeatedly while raising his fist before one brave passenger springs into action to tackle him to the ground. Another man jumps up to provide assistance when the Islamist starts to resist.
Delusions of Adequacy
