Trump administration officials have fired Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan over her failure to address border security concerns, her focus on DEI initiatives, and her consistent “leadership deficiencies.” 

The now-former Coast Guard commandant was personally terminated by Benjamine Huffman, the acting secretary of Homeland Security, according to Fox News.

The outlet spoke with a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, who confirmed that Fagan’s leadership devolved into an “erosion of trust” within the Coast Guard.

The erosion of trust was in large part due to the cover-up of Operation Foul Anchor, which was an internal investigation regarding sexual assault cases at the Coast Guard Academy.

Fagan was previously pressed by senators as to why she withheld requested documents and failed to hold those involved accountable during a hearing relating to Operation Fouled Anchor.

The DHS official, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the investigation showcased a “leadership culture” within the branch, being unwilling to protect service members and ensure complete transparency.

Fagan was specifically accused of mismanaging Coast Guard assets to effectively support border security efforts, including the seizure of fentanyl and other illegal substances. She also reportedly fell short at recruiting a necessary number of Coast Guard personnel, which overall “weakened the operational readiness” of the branch.

The Trump administration’s decision to fire Fagan signals that even more are to follow, as Trump previously vowed to expel all “woke” generals and military officials who aren’t fulfilling their duties successfully, and those who have prioritized DEI initiatives over skillset, intellect, and achievements.

“I got to know the real fighting generals. There’s no ‘woke’ in the military. There’s ‘woke’ at the top,” Trump stated last summer.

“They want there to be woke, but these guys aren’t meant for woke. I would fire them. You can’t have a woke military,” he added.

Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, similarly echoed Trump’s sentiments.

“I talked to dozens and dozens of actively serving men and women, junior enlisted, high-ranking officers, and they all say the same thing,” Hegseth stated. “We’re walking on eggshells. There’s no accountability. The standards are being lowered, slowly eroded to conform to woke Marxist ideologies the Democrat politicians have pushed into the Pentagon. Pentagon should be the biggest meritocracy in the world. Instead, it’s a social experiment.”

“We all wore green together. We all bleed red together. Who you slept with is not the issue… The issue is how good are you at your job? And are you being promoted because you’re the best rifleman, or you’re the best pilot, or you’re the best tank commander? Not are you the first to do this or are you the first that? And that’s a story I tell time and time again,” he added.

Fagan was the first woman to lead any branch of the U.S. military, serving as the 27th Commandant of the Coast Guard beginning on June 1st, 2022.

Harris Endorsed by Muslim Leaders: The Best Candidate to Further Islamize America

This past week, a group of U.S. imams publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, but beneath the surface, this move reveals a strategic effort to use her policies to advance Islamic influence in American politics, challenge U.S. security, and erode foundational American values.

On Monday, a group of imams from across the U.S. published an open letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. But this endorsement isn’t simply about political preference—it’s a calculated move within a broader strategy to further an Islamic expansionist agenda in American politics. These imams recognize that Harris’s policies, particularly her alignment with the radical left, offer the best opportunity to advance their long-standing goals: increasing Islamic influence, undermining Western values, and gradually gaining control over governmental power.

Islamic Expansionism: A Strategic Play

The imams’ support for Kamala Harris reflects their understanding that this is a critical moment for Islam’s strategic incursion into the American political system. The letter paints Trump as a divisive figure who would reintroduce oppressive policies. In reality, this letter is a call to Muslim communities to seize the moment and consolidate power. By warning against Trump, they seek to shift Muslim voters toward Harris, who they believe will open doors to policies that advance Islamic law and migration, further embedding Sharia into the cultural and political fabric of the U.S.

Islam’s history is one of manifest destiny through conquest, where every opportunity is used to gain control over societies, either through voluntary conversion or by force. From the early Islamic conquests in the 7th century, which spread across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, to modern-day political strategies, the goal remains the same: submission. The very word “Islam” itself means submission, and historically, Islamic leaders have sought to subdue non-Islamic regions by imposing Islamic law and governance. This strategy has not changed; it has simply adapted to modern democratic processes.

The imams who signed this letter are fully aware of this history and are using Harris’s platform to advance the next phase of Islam’s agenda. By securing positions of influence, Islamic leaders aim to gradually undermine American institutions from within, focusing on key areas such as immigration, judicial appointments, and education, all while maintaining a veneer of concern for human rights and anti-discrimination. In reality, their goal is to establish a system where Islamic law and values hold sway over American policies.

The Weaponization of Victimhood

In their letter, the imams frame their opposition to Trump as a moral stance, invoking the language of human rights and likening his policies to a revival of Jim Crow laws. They claim that Trump’s return to office would inflict great harm on Muslim communities, drawing exaggerated parallels to racial segregation to stoke fear. For example, the letter states, “Trump is funded by pro-settlement donors who support Israeli annexation of the West Bank” and warns that he has “promised to deport pro-Palestinian students and activists he refers to as ‘jihadists.’” Isn’t this subtly admitting a pro-Hamas stance by defending activists who support Hamas? These incendiary claims are designed to galvanize Muslim voters and cast Trump as an existential threat.

This manipulation of victimhood is a calculated tactic to galvanize Muslim voters by stoking fear and positioning imams as defenders of the oppressed. Their goal is not just to protect their communities, but to position Harris as a key to advancing Islamic law under the guise of social justice. In reality, they are exploiting the left’s narrative to further their own agenda, positioning Harris as a pivotal ally in this strategy.

This is a clear manifestation of the Red-Green alliance, where the radical left and Islamic supremacists find common cause. By weaponizing shared grievances, this alliance seeks to weaken America’s borders, reduce national security protocols, and push policies that align with globalist and Islamic objectives. Politicians like Harris are instrumental in dismantling traditional governance structures, not through mutual respect, but a temporary partnership aimed at eroding the foundations of American sovereignty and replacing them with policies favorable to Islamic expansionism.

Securing Power Through Key Government Appointments

A central piece of this strategy is the imams’ desire to position Muslims in key government roles. By rallying support for Harris, they aim to ensure that more individuals aligned with their vision of Islamic governance are appointed to influential positions in law enforcement, education, and the judiciary. This isn’t about fair representation—it’s about strategically placing people who will champion policies that prioritize Islamic law and interests.

This is not a new strategy. Imams and Muslim organizations have previously endorsed candidates like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, recognizing their favorable stance toward Islamic immigration and foreign policy. Biden’s administration, in particular, was seen as backing policies beneficial to Muslim-majority countries, including his approach to Iran, the Taliban in Afghanistan, his special immigration allowances for Muslims, and his downplaying of Islamic terror threats. Similarly, imams supported Obama for resettling large numbers of refugees, advancing Iran’s nuclear program, his support for foreign Islamic governments—often hostile to America—funding mosques within the U.S. These are just some examples of how imams use political endorsements to further their broader agenda of embedding Islamic governance into the fabric of the United States.

Islamic groups like the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have long pushed this agenda, openly stating their goal of installing Muslims in political offices to influence domestic and foreign “policy.” The imams’ endorsement of Harris is just the latest move in a larger game of political chess aimed at embedding Islamic governance into the fabric of the United States.

Muslim Migration as a National Security Threat

At the core of this political push is the issue of immigration. The imams’ call for open borders not only signals their desire for Islamic migration into the U.S., but it also aligns with Hijrah, the Islamic command to emigrate for the cause of Allah. This concept, rooted in Muhammad’s own migration from Mecca to Medina, has historically been used as a strategic tool to expand Islamic influence. Today, migration remains a key method for spreading Islam, particularly in non-Islamic lands, where the goal is not to assimilate but to transform societies from within.

Muslim migration into Western countries is not about blending into host nations but about altering the cultural and political landscape to bring them closer to an Islamic state. Europe has already borne the brunt of this reality. Countries like France, Germany, and the United Kingdom have experienced rising demands for Sharia, the establishment of Islamic banking systems, and the erosion of traditional Western customs. Islamic elements in these migrant communities often refuse to adopt local laws, instead advocating for the implementation of Sharia, slowly transforming the fabric of their host countries.

From demands for Halal food systems to enforcing niqab-wearing in public and rejecting Western holidays, these incremental shifts work to gradually Islamize societies. High birth rates and continued migration further accelerate this process. Muammar Qaddafi’s prophetic remark, “We Muslims don’t need to use force… our emigration and high birth rates will accomplish our objectives,” underscores the patient but deliberate strategy at play.

The imams’ endorsement of Harris fits perfectly into this broader agenda. They view her open-border policies as a way to destabilize American society, erode national security, and ultimately transform the nation into a more Islamic-friendly entity—much like what is already happening in parts of Europe.

The Threat to American Values

The imams’ letter is not simply an endorsement of a candidate—it’s a declaration of their intent to erode the values that make America strong. By aligning with the radical left, Islamic leaders hope to weaken the core principles of individual freedom, equality, and constitutional law, replacing them with policies that favor Islamic governance. The open borders policies they advocate would bring in populations that do not share America’s values and would push for laws incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.

If left unchecked, this growing alliance between Islamic leaders and the far left will threaten both U.S. security and the freedoms Americans hold dear. Their ultimate goal isn’t just political influence—it’s a transformation of the United States into a society where Islamic law dominates, and the very fabric of American life is fundamentally altered.

‘Don’t be Fooled’ by Iran’s ‘Bogus Election of a Puppet President’ Holding out misleading hope to the West’s gullible leaders.

[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]

As Robert Spencer stated earlier on Jihad Watch: “No one can run for the presidency of Iran without Khamenei’s approval.”  Iran’s constitutional body, the Guardian Council, has confirmed the victory of so-called “reformist” Masoud Pezeshkian, who will now succeed the late hardline President Ebrahim Raisi, but expect little change.

Elections in Iran are hardly democratic. The Supreme Leader, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Guardian Council disqualify any contender for the presidency who may be deemed a threat to the regime.

The outcome of the presidential election reveals Iran’s strategic direction. Pezeshkian serves to potentially pacify domestic and international threats via his diplomatic demeanor. The Iranian regime faces international disapproval of its brazen hardline approach as it moves toward developing a nuclear bomb; Western scrutiny over its ongoing war against the state of Israel by means of its proxies; and the ongoing threat of a potential uprising by fierce anti-regime dissidents, even as the Iranian government dismisses such a threat.

The Associated Press describes Pezeshkian as a “reformist politician within Iran’s Shiite theocracy — always pushing for change but never radically challenging the system overseen by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.” That’s because Pezeshkian is a pawn of the regime and has its approval.

Iran International — which the regime once demanded be designated a “terrorist” group due its truth-telling — post this on X about Pezeshkian’s win:

Pezeshkian has secured “strong backing from his mentor,” former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who is also described as a “moderate.” Zarif is a staunch advocate of a nuclear deal with the West; he negotiated the first nuclear deal. Zarif didn’t hesitate to unleash himself against Israel within days of October 7, saying: “Israel’s fake image of resistance is now ruined." Israel’s barbaric actions are the reason for their continued defeat.He also calls Muslimsthe primary victims of the ‘cult of hatred’—empowered by colonial regimes and exported by their own clients”; and has made the outrageous claim that “Tehran has never called for the destruction of Israel.” So while Zarif and Pezeshkian may appear to be “moderates” or “reformists,” they only differ from their hardline counterparts in approach, not in substance.

Pezeshkian is the man of the hour — favored to do the bidding of the Supreme Leader as the one who has the greatest likelihood of winning the trust of Western globalists. He has the right tone, unlike his defeated hardline rival Saeed Jalili, and is firmly committed to exploiting any opportunity to advance toward the goal that Iran has long been eyeing: a new nuclear deal that would allow the regime to flourish. The soft-spoken cardiac surgeon has already called for “constructive negotiations” toward a revived 2015 nuclear deal, and China is doing the same.

Iran didn’t even try to hide its intentions before, with an open admission that the 2015 Iran deal was based on lies. Then came the announcement by the International Atomic Agency watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, that Iran was enriching uranium at levels that were ordinarily seen only in countries making bombs.

No one could possibly trust the Iranian regime, except for globalist leaders such as Joe Biden et al, their media lapdogs, and America’s enemies, gleefully awaiting America’s downfall. Many backroom deals under the Obama administration saw tens of billions flow into Iran’s coffers. Now with Joe Biden at the helm, and Iran’s new president, prepare for more deals to benefit the Islamic Republic, under the charade of achieving regional and ultimately world peace.

Biden is delusional and declining; he apparently wants to go down in history as the American president who brokered peace in the region, no matter at what cost. Yet the only negotiations the Islamic Republic will engage in are those that benefit its own long-term supremacist interests.

Pezeshkian’s win represents a new level of threat to the West, as Iran holds out misleading hope to the West’s gullible leaders, offering a smoothly paved route to appeasement and aid to the Iranian regime. No one is concerned that the doomsday vision of Shia Iran is the belief that “the Hidden Imam will appear in the midst of a violent apocalyptic scenario played out on a battleground stained with infidels’ blood.”

Israel must prepare for a long, tough road ahead as it is increasingly framed as a stumbling block to peace, while globalists and Islamic supremacists continue to gaslight the willfully blind elements of what’s remaining of Western society.
