Who saw this coming? Bader Alzahrani, a Saudi national who stole a New Jersey school bus and wrote about jihad and “blood, destruction, Allah,” has been found incompetent to stand trial. And that makes total sense, right? After all, it isn’t as if he were someone who was actually dangerous, such as a MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporter. So why should the poor dear be put through the trauma of an actual trial?

Lehigh Valley Live reported Thursday that Alzahrani “is facing charges from incidents in January, including receipt of a stolen vehicle transportation of a stolen vehicle in federal court, and motor vehicle theft, burglary, theft of moveable property, criminal damage and criminal trespass in New Jersey court.” However, federal Judge Michael Hammer (wait, shouldn’t that be Judge Michael Gavel?) said, “based on a psychiatric report sealed by the court, Alzahrani has a mental disease or defect that makes him unable to understand the court proceedings and properly participate in his defense.”

This is perfectly reasonable once one understands that Judge Mike Hammer is part of an establishment that does not acknowledge the existence of Islamic jihad. The Obama administration removed all mention of Islam and jihad from counterterror training back in 2010, and since then it has become settled dogma among the political elites that “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism,” as Hillary Clinton so memorably put it in November 2015. When confronted with an actual Islamic jihad terrorist, these fantasists claim he is mentally ill. Anyone who thinks God has told them he will reward them for killing people must be crazy, right?

Alzahrani does appear to be a committed jihadi. According to the criminal complaint against him, he not only stole the bus but apparently broke into an unoccupied residential home across the street from the parking lot where the bus was stolen. A backpack was found in that home, containing Alzahrani’s Saudi passport and a number of “other items that appeared to belong to Alzahrani.” Among these items were journals that contained entries in both English and Arabic. The entries were hair-raising.

Alzahrani wrote: “Why didn’t you slaughter the police officer who threw the Quran?” And: “This is a war, and there will be losses and collateral losses. … It is a war and y’all started, feel the rage.” The war he had in mind would be extremely bloody: “Destruction of the new world and the earth will be destroyed from all sides.” It was a religious war: “God I am ready for your orders. I want to live the rest of my life to serve you and the religion.” Alzahrani also wrote: “Blood, blood, destruction, destruction. Allah.”

Amid all this, Alzahrani had time to throw in the antisemitism that we have come to expect from hardcore jihadis: “Jews control everything,” he wrote, and “F**k each and every Jewish person.” He also added, in a blow to the feds’ “white supremacist” hunters, “F**k you privileged whitey.” According to the complaint, “the Journals also included entries concerning ‘Jihad’ and how Alzahrani did not intend to return to Saudi Arabia.” He also doesn’t seem to have placed a whole lot of emphasis on his studies, despite being in the United States on a student visa: “In or around October 2022, Alzahrani left the university in which he was enrolled and was reported missing.”

There is no indication from the criminal complaint about what exactly Alzahrani intended to do with his purloined school bus, or what connection, if any, the hate-filled and violent rants in his journals had with the bus theft. Nonetheless, anyone who could write the kinds of things that Alzahrani wrote clearly had malign intentions that would likely have manifested themselves in some form before he returned to Saudi Arabia. We can be grateful that all Alzahrani did was steal a bus, and that no one got hurt in the process. Nevertheless, this incident should make American authorities reexamine some of their basic assumptions, although that’s about as likely as the Democrats running Trump for president in 2024.

Now that he has been declared incompetent to stand trial, Alzahrani will likely be allowed to return to Saudi Arabia, and that will be that. We will almost certainly never find out exactly how he intended to bring blood and destruction upon non-Muslims in the United States for Allah. But Judge Mike Hammer and his colleagues would do well to study Islam’s theology of jihad before ruling on any similar cases in the future. After all, lives could be at stake.

SPLC names 12 parent’s rights orgs as ‘anti-government extremist groups’

The conservative parental rights group Moms for Liberty has now been labeled as an "extremist group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC is notorious for going after conservative organizations and listing them as hate groups. Now, the group is targeting moms who are concerned about their children's education. Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice recently testified before Congress and said, "We do not co-parent with the government." This is considered an "extremist" viewpoint by those on the left.

Moms Are Under Attack But We are Fighting Back

The FBI stated in February that “radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology” is a national threat. They based this assessment on smears from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC continues its vehement attacks on traditional Christian values. It has now “named 12 parents’ rights organizations, including the incredibly effective Moms For Liberty, as ‘anti-government extremist groups’ in its 2022 ‘hate and extremism’ report.”

The SPLC, along with other far-Left groups, continues to target Judeo-Christian traditions, beliefs and practices, which leads to intensifying social persecution.

“After SPLC Quietly Admits Subjectivity, Corporate Media Amplify Baseless Smears Against Parents,” by Jordan Boyd, The Federalist, June 7, 3023:

The Southern Poverty Law Center continued its smear campaign against conservative groups this week when it named 12 parents’ rights organizations, including the incredibly effective Moms For Liberty, as “anti-government extremist groups” in its 2022 “hate and extremism” report.

Over the last two years, the Biden administration, with the help of the National School Boards Association, used manufactured reasoning to target concerned parents as potential “terrorists.” For his participation in the intimidation campaign, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland was hauled in front of Congress where he not only denied that the Department of Justice was weaponized against Americans for political reasons but also indicated he would keep targeting parents.

The SPLC continued the Biden regime’s mission by sullying the dozen grassroots groups as “reactionary anti-student inclusion” organizations that promote “anti-LGBTQ, racist and nationalist themes.”

“Groups like Moms for Liberty are a new battlefront vs inclusivity in schools, but are rooted in age-old white supremacy,” SPLC’s Intelligence Project Director Susan Corke tweeted on Tuesday.

“Name-calling parents who want to be a part of their child’s education as ‘hate groups’ or ‘bigoted’ just further exposes what this battle is all about: Who fundamentally gets to decide what is taught to our kids in school – parents or government employees? We believe that parental rights do not stop at the classroom door and no amount of hate from groups like this is going to stop that,” Moms for Liberty co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich told Fox News after the report’s release….

EU reaches deal on ‘more equitable refugee hosting,’ Poland and Hungary refuse

History is repeating itself, after nearly a decade of the EU flinging its doors open to illegal (mostly Muslim) migrants, at the expense of taxpayers and the security of its member nations. The EU has now “reached a deal” for its members to “share hosting” of illegals “who mainly arrive in countries on the bloc’s outer rim, like Italy and Greece.” This is because Italy and Greece oppose illegals swarming in from Africa. Nothing is different about this EU's latest deal from its past attempts to force migrant quotas on member countries.

Yet again, it is Poland and Hungary that refuse to agree to the new deal. And so yet again, those countries will be targeted by the EU. Globalists are relentless in their efforts to overturn the rule of law and destroy the traditions of Western society, in their quest to create a utopian one-world government.

“EU reaches deal on more equitable refugee hosting,” by Manas Joshi, WION, June 9, 2023:

The European Union on Thursday (June 8) reached a deal on a revision of rules to share hosting of asylum seekers more equitably. The breakthrough was achieved after a fraught day of negotiations between European Union interior ministers in Luxembourg. Sweden, which currently holds the bloc’s rotating presidency, made the announcement of the agreement.

In order to go through, the deal needed approval from a majority of countries that represent at least 65 per cent of the bloc’s population. The agreement has come through after years of wrangling over asylum policy.

European interior affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson hailed a “hugely significant step” for the EU on migration.

“These are not easy decisions for everyone around the table, but they are historic decisions,” said German interior minister Nancy Faeser.

The proposal tabled at the meeting called for compulsory help between EU countries, but with an option of doing that in one of two ways.

EU countries face priority to share hosting of asylum seekers who mainly arrive in countries on the bloc’s outer rim, like Italy and Greece.

The agreement says that countries that refuse to host refugees would be required to pay 20,000 euros (USD 21,000) per person. The money will go to a fund managed by Brussels.

Poland and Hungary voted against the proposals, while Bulgaria, Malta, Lithuania and Slovakia abstained….
