We must confront it head-on and prevent it from spreading further.</p><p>Just yesterday, we witnessed the shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. The gunman, identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, was a former Army National Guardsman who had previously been convicted in 2016 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS and had served more than a decade in federal prison before being released in 2024. <strong>Authorities say Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Sierra Leone, opened fire inside Constant Hall, killing one person and injuring two others before he was ultimately stopped and killed.</strong> The attack is now rightfully being investigated as a potential act of terrorism and raises serious questions about how someone with a known history of supporting ISIS was able to return and carry out violence on an American campus.</p><p>Also on Thursday, at Temple Israel&#8212;a large Reform synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan&#8212;a male suspect intentionally rammed a pickup truck through the front doors and into the building causing the vehicle to catch fire and fill the area with smoke. The attacker, armed with a rifle, exchanged gunfire with on-site security personnel after breaching the interior (driving down a hallway in some accounts). Security fatally shot the suspect, who was later confirmed dead. One security guard was injured after being struck by the vehicle but is expected to recover. The FBI is involved in the ongoing investigation into the motive and suspect&#8217;s identity, with reports of possible explosives found in the vehicle. The details of this &#8220;act of violence&#8221; are still unfolding at this time, but the message is clear.</p><p>This follows the events of last Saturday, where two young men from the suburbs of Pennsylvania decided to wage war on their own country. Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, <strong>both U.S. citizens</strong>, drove into Manhattan carrying homemade bombs loaded with the same volatile explosive that jihadists have used to slaughter innocents around the world. They targeted a lawful protest called &#8220;Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City, Stop New York City Public Muslim Prayer.&#8221; About twenty brave souls had gathered to speak the truth about the radical ideology flooding our streets and our institutions.</p><p>These two Americans shouted &#8220;Allahu Akbar,&#8221; and hurled their IEDs directly into the crowd. They told police afterward they were aligned with the Islamic State. The bombs failed to explode. No one died <em>this time</em>. <strong>But make no mistake: American citizens tried to murder American citizens for the crime of opposing Islamic conquest in our greatest city.</strong> In fact, it was reported that they intended for the attack to be larger in scale than the Boston Marathon bombing.</p><p><strong>This is not foreign terrorism sneaking across a border. This is homegrown.</strong> These were our neighbors&#8217; sons, radicalized right here on American soil, choosing the black flag of ISIS over the Stars and Stripes. And now their lawyers are attempting to claim that, due to their age, they didn&#8217;t know what they were doing.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/act-for-america-education/rise-book" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg" width="600" height="141" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:141,&quot;width&quot;:600,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:22513,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://secure.anedot.com/act-for-america-education/rise-book&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/i/190733638?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JN3Z!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d63c15a-859c-4392-a312-f273d88ed2e9_600x141.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><strong>Terrorism is not new.</strong> Just this past Sunday, a powerful bomb ripped through the entrance of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway &#8212; a &#8220;terror bombing,&#8221; authorities called it, intended &#8220;to take lives or cause significant damage.&#8221; Norwegian police arrested three brothers, all Norwegian citizens in their twenties with Iraqi heritage. The blast caused damage but no casualties. Yet the pattern is unmistakable: radical ideology, whether it strikes in Manhattan or Oslo, is relentless.</p><p>What has changed &#8212; and what should terrify every freedom-loving American &#8212; is the rise of homegrown terror. <strong>We are no longer just fighting enemies abroad.</strong> We are fighting enemies we ourselves have raised, nourished, and refused to confront.</p><p>Instead of facing this reality, some in the media chose lies. CNN&#8217;s Ana Navarro and Abby Phillip rushed onto airwaves to declare the NYC incident an &#8220;attempted terror attack against&#8221; Mayor Zohran Mamdani &#8212; painting the jihadists as victims of &#8220;Islamophobia&#8221; and the protesters as the real villains. They had to issue humiliating corrections and public apologies because the facts were devastating: the bombs were thrown at anti-Islam demonstrators, not at the mayor&#8217;s residence. The attackers were ISIS fanatics, not right-wing extremists. Twisting the truth to protect a narrative only empowers the enemy and endangers us all.</p><p>And while we&#8217;re talking about inconvenient truths, let us speak plainly about what happened in American mosques just weeks ago. <strong>As the free world breathed easier after the elimination of Ayatollah Khamenei &#8212; one of the most blood-soaked tyrants on earth, a man who crushed women, hanged dissidents, and funded Hamas and Hezbollah &#8212; mosques in Manassas, Virginia, and Dearborn Heights, Michigan, held formal memorial services.</strong> They called him &#8220;our leader.&#8221; They mourned his &#8220;martyrdom.&#8221; They gathered for potluck iftars and eulogies while Americans wept for the loss of a man who embodied everything antithetical to individual liberty.</p><p>Let that sink in. <strong>On American soil, under American protections, citizens publicly grieved a monster who spent decades exporting death.</strong></p><p>This is the reality we face.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=4">Help ACT for America keep fighting for the truth Americans deserve. Donate today!</a></strong></p><p>We cannot afford denial. We cannot afford political correctness. <strong>We cannot afford another generation taught that noticing jihadist ideology is &#8220;bigotry.&#8221;</strong></p><p>We must stay vigilant. We must keep our eyes and ears open. If you see the signs &#8212; the sudden obsession with ISIS propaganda, the isolation from American values, the glorification of martyrdom &#8212; you must be bold enough to say something. Speak up. Refuse to be silenced by fear of being called names.</p><p>Our republic was not built by the timid. It will not be preserved by the silent. The enemy is not at the gates. <strong>The enemy is inside the gates &#8212; and some of them carry American passports.</strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/the-threat-within?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/the-threat-within?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;11a532dd-45b6-44d1-a4df-26c965e64be7&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;A now-viral video out of Wylie East High School in Wylie, Texas, is spreading rapidly across the country, sparking outrage far beyond Texas.

The results of those tests have shaped the security landscape we face today.</p><p>The 2015 nuclear agreement under President Obama was sold as a breakthrough that would halt Iran&#8217;s march toward a bomb. Instead, it handed Tehran sanctions relief, international legitimacy, and billions in economic breathing room while leaving its ballistic missile program intact and embedding sunset provisions that merely delayed, rather than dismantled, nuclear capability. In the final days of that administration, $1.7 billion in cash was transferred to Iran to settle a decades-old dispute&#8212;pallets of foreign currency that critics argued projected weakness at the worst possible moment.</p><p><strong>The regime did not moderate. It maneuvered.</strong></p><p>Under President Biden, efforts to revive the nuclear framework signaled a return to negotiation-first strategy. Sanctions enforcement was loosened by the overuse of waivers, Iranian oil exports rebounded, and Tehran continued enriching uranium beyond prior limits. Strong language flowed from podiums in Washington, but the deterrent edge dulled.

It is possible to forgive in the heart while remaining clear-eyed about the realities of the world.</p><p>And clarity is essential.</p><p>While Judeo-Christian teaching emphasizes forgiveness and prayer for one&#8217;s enemies, Islam promotes the exact opposite&#8212;never forgive, never forget, and never relent. This stark contrast cannot be ignored.</p><p>Understanding this difference is not about hatred; it is about survival. <strong>A free society cannot defend itself against threats it refuses to acknowledge.</strong> Knowing the enemy&#8212;its doctrine, its goals, and its tactics&#8212;is the first step in protecting the freedoms so many have sacrificed to secure.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=4">Contribute to ACT for America today and help us stay in the fight to secure America&#8217;s future.</a></strong></p><p><strong>The fight today is not merely for ourselves.

This is not speculation. This is not conspiracy. This is not rhetoric pulled from thin air. <strong>It is documented in their own words.</strong></p><p>In 1991, the Brotherhood produced a strategic memorandum outlining its vision for North America. In it, they describe what they call a &#8220;civilization jihad&#8221; &#8212; a methodical effort to undermine Western society from the inside and replace it with an Islamic system. <strong>They did not whisper it. They wrote it down. They distributed it. They explained it.</strong></p><p>And yet, in the West, we refuse to listen.</p><p><strong>We have never faced an adversary so bold that it publishes its intentions in writing and still manages to convince us that we are overreacting. </strong>They outline the strategy. They identify organizations. They build networks. They organize at the local level. Meanwhile, too many Americans sit back and treat the threat like political theater.</p><p>Part of that concern centers around organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has frequently been cited in public debates about political influence and advocacy connected to Islamist movements. Critics have raised questions about the role certain advocacy groups play in shaping public policy and gaining access to elected officials at every level of government. Through lobbying, public messaging, coalition-building, and sustained political engagement, these organizations operate in a coordinated and strategic manner. </p><p>You may not know, but CAIR has established chapters in states across the country and continues expanding its footprint, actively recruiting and organizing at the local level to influence policy discussions nationwide.</p><p><strong>If one side is mobilized and involved at every level of government, the other side cannot afford to remain passive.</strong></p><p>As evidence of how organized and politically engaged these networks are at the state level just look at Texas. CAIR&#8217;s Texas chapter recently released a multi-page Letter of Concern urging opposition to Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick&#8217;s 2026 Texas Senate Interim Legislative Charge titled &#8220;Preventing Sharia Law in Texas,&#8221; calling it unconstitutional and raising objections to related policy discussions.

It was reborn in the hearts of radicals who saw that fall as a divine humiliation to be avenged. Groups like the Muslim Brotherhood emerged almost immediately, vowing to restore Islamic supremacy through stealth, politics, and sheer numbers. The 1979 Iranian Revolution poured fuel on the fire, giving spiritual fire and oil wealth to spread this ideology worldwide. <strong>Today, that ambition is no longer hidden in dusty manifestos; it&#8217;s playing out in real time across Europe and creeping into America.</strong></p><p><strong>Look at Europe: </strong>once the cradle of Western civilization, now a cautionary tale of what happens when open borders meet unchecked demographic shifts and cultural submission. </p><p><strong><a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=4">Stand with ACT for America by making a tax-deductible contribution today and helping us protect the future of our country.</a></strong></p><p><strong>We already see this playing out</strong>. Christmas markets, symbols of European joy and tradition, now resemble fortified zones. Concrete barriers, heavy police presence, enhanced surveillance, and skyrocketing security costs&#8212;up dramatically in recent years&#8212;protect against vehicle rammings and other threats tied to radical Islamist violence. Families once strolled freely through festive lights; now they navigate military-like perimeters, a direct consequence of failed integration and migration policies that prioritized numbers over shared values.</p><p>Neighborhoods have transformed dramatically. Traditional churches stand abandoned or repurposed, while new mosques rise and calls to prayer echo in public spaces once defined by secular norms. Women face increasing harassment for dressing freely or being out alone, with reports of confrontations enforcing strict patriarchal expectations. <strong>These are symptoms of a society losing its spine, too afraid of being called intolerant to defend its values.</strong></p><p>Europe may be too far gone, trapped in stage-four decline where reversal demands painful, politically radioactive decisions. <strong>The continent&#8217;s leaders, paralyzed by multiculturalism dogma, have imported populations that do not share core Western principles&#8212;equality, individual liberty, secular law&#8212;and now reap the consequences.</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/act-for-america-education/rise-book" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg" width="600" height="141" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:141,&quot;width&quot;:600,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:22513,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://secure.anedot.com/act-for-america-education/rise-book&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/i/187127463?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!uJ2T!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc9f56b2b-3543-4b76-90d0-37661efcd423_600x141.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><strong>America still has time, but the clock is ticking.</strong> In 2025 elections, a record 42 Muslim candidates won offices nationwide, including historic firsts like New York City&#8217;s first Muslim mayor.

It is about recognizing an ideology that demands submission, views non-believers as lesser, and seeks eventual dominion. <strong>The West&#8217;s disease is the compulsion to please, to accommodate until it&#8217;s too late.</strong> We must act now: enact strict immigration laws, pass anti-Sharia laws, and run principled candidates who defend our Constitution without apology.</p><p><strong>America is salvable.</strong> But only if we wake up, get engaged, and refuse to repeat Europe&#8217;s fatal mistakes. The empire-builders are counting on our complacency. We must prove them wrong. <strong>Join <a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/">ACT for America</a> and let&#8217;s mobilize before the window closes.</strong></p><p class="button-wrapper"

As outlined in documents such as the <em>Explanatory Memorandum</em>, the strategy is not one of open confrontation, but of patient, systematic infiltration. <strong>Followers are encouraged to embed themselves within both major political parties, rise into positions of influence, and quietly shape policy from within.</strong> This dual-track approach allows influence across the political spectrum while minimizing scrutiny.</p><p>While infiltrators exist on both the right and the left, the alliance with the radical left has become the most visible and dangerous phase. Progressive movements have increasingly embraced Brotherhood-aligned causes despite glaring ideological contradictions&#8212;such as leftist advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights clashing with Islamist views, or feminist ideals colliding with sharia-based gender norms. <strong>This alliance survives on shared anti-Western sentiment, enabling mutual advancement at the expense of America&#8217;s core values.</strong></p><p>The results are no longer theoretical. Progressive organizations have mobilized voters, raised significant funds, and propelled aligned candidates into office. In the 2025 elections alone, dozens of Muslim candidates won nationwide, capturing several mayoral races. Most notably, Zohran Mamdani secured the mayoralty of America&#8217;s largest city. Virginia Lt. Gov. Ghazala Hashmi also became the first Muslim woman elected to any statewide office in the country. <strong>CAIR publicly celebrated these key victories, underscoring the growing political clout of Brotherhood-aligned networks within Democratic strongholds.</strong></p><p>The consequences are immediate and predictable. Mamdani wasted no time&#8212;<em>on his first day in office</em>&#8212;revoking key executive orders from his predecessor, including the city&#8217;s adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism and restrictions on boycotting Israel, moves decried by Jewish organizations and Israel&#8217;s government as stripping significant safeguards for Jewish New Yorkers. <strong>This is not coincidence; it is the playbook in action: ally with the left to gain power, then advance an agenda that erodes the very foundations of the republic.</strong></p><p>Americans must wake up to this reality. Our elections, institutions, and freedoms are too precious to lose through complacency. Knowing what is at stake, we cannot allow CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood to continue exerting influence over the future of our country. Congress must pass the <strong>Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025</strong>, formally recognizing the Muslim Brotherhood as the terrorist organization it is. Click the <strong>&#8220;ACT NOW&#8221;</strong> button below to contact your members of Congress and urge them to support this must-pass legislation.</p><p>The Brotherhood&#8217;s strategy succeeds only when good people remain silent&#8212;and silence is a luxury we can no longer afford.

They are not just opponents in a debate; they are traitors to our values, saboteurs of our sovereignty, and defenders of the indefensible. While we fight to protect innocent, law-abiding citizens, the Left chooses to shield rapists, murderers, and pedophiles&#8212;putting monsters above mothers, fathers, and children. This is not politics; this is war on our way of life. <strong>And if we don&#8217;t rise up now, America as we know it will fall!</strong></p><p>It&#8217;s time we face the ugly truth.</p><p><strong>The Left has declared open season on decency and justice across this great land, from the streets of our cities to the halls of power.</strong> They scream &#8220;compassion&#8221; to protect unvetted migrants, among them violent criminals who rape, murder, and prey on the vulnerable. Remember the horror stories we&#8217;ve seen&#8212;innocent girls assaulted in schools, families torn apart by gang violence from MS-13 thugs that Biden and Harris let in. </p><p><strong>President Trump tried to stop it, building that wall, deporting the dangers&#8212;but the Left fought him every step, calling it &#8220;racist&#8221; to protect our own</strong>. Now, under their influence, sanctuary cities like Minneapolis, harbor these predators, releasing them back into our neighborhoods instead of handing them over to ICE. Why? Because to the Left, a rapist&#8217;s &#8220;rights&#8221; trump the safety of your daughter walking home from school!</p><p>And it&#8217;s not just criminal migrants&#8212;they defend homegrown evil too. Look at how they coddle murderers in our justice system. Defund the police? <strong>That&#8217;s their mantra!</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://secure.anedot.com/act-for-america-education/rise-book" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg" width="600" height="141" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:141,&quot;width&quot;:600,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:22513,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://secure.anedot.com/act-for-america-education/rise-book&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/i/186089567?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SF86!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd25720c9-92f2-4b4d-89ef-23937087f3a1_600x141.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>In cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, and San Francisco&#8212;Democrat strongholds&#8212;they slash police budgets, release killers on bail with no consequences, and then blame &#8220;systemic racism&#8221; when crime skyrockets. A murderer guns down a cop, and the Left riots in the streets&#8212;not for the fallen hero, but for the criminal! They&#8217;ve turned our courts into revolving doors for violence, where repeat offenders get slaps on the wrist while law-abiding gun owners are demonized. </p><p>How many more innocent lives must be lost before we say enough?

It&#8217;s here, it&#8217;s exploding in every corner of the globe, and unchecked antisemitism is the accelerant fueling the fire</strong>.</p><p>For those still turning a blind eye to mass murders of Jews, I have news for you: <strong>what starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews</strong>. There&#8217;s an old Arabic saying: &#8220;First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday.&#8221; Meaning, first we kill the Jews, then we come for the Christians.</p><p><strong>It&#8217;s time for the West to wake up.</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=4">Enjoy our content? Please consider donating to help us grow our reach and expand our grassroots network!</a></strong></p><p>If you don&#8217;t care about the Jewish people being hunted like prey during a religious gathering, then care about your future and your children&#8217;s.

A few weeks ago, Michigan escaped an ISIS-inspired Halloween plot to bomb bars with &#8220;pumpkin&#8221; explosives. And just yesterday, the FBI disrupted a &#8220;credible imminent terrorist threat&#8221; in Los Angeles, arresting four from the Turtle Island Liberation Front&#8217;s radical offshoot, blending anti-law enforcement hate with pro-Palestinian ideology.</p><p><strong>As we witnessed this weekend, their carnage knows no borders.</strong></p><p><strong>Germany&#8217;s</strong> Munich car-ramming in February, that injured over three dozen people (two later died, including a two-year-old), followed the Christmas Market attack in December &#8217;24 that killed six. This year <strong>France</strong> marked the 2015 Paris attacks&#8217; 10th anniversary amid a 70% spike in under-21 jihadist arrests&#8212;subway and prison plots barely thwarted. In <strong>Syria</strong>, a December 14th ambush, by a likely ISIS-inspired shooter, killed two U.S. troops and an interpreter near Palmyra. This is capped off with the unfathomable massacre in <strong>Australia </strong>just days ago. <strong>The list could go on and on.</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=4">Help us achieve our end-of-year fundraising goal by chipping in TODAY!</a></strong><a href="https://www.actforamerica.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=4"> </a></p><p>These aren&#8217;t &#8220;lone wolves&#8221;&#8212;they&#8217;re emboldened by the toxic silence on antisemitism, treating hate as &#8220;free speech&#8221; and diversity as a suicide pact.

drain.</strong></p><p>Nightlife venues shuttered under skyrocketing crime and red tape; hospitality crumbled as small businesses choked on the Ultra Low Emission Zone&#8217;s punishing fines. Council taxes ballooned 71% since 2016, housing stalled amid bureaucratic virtue-signaling, and stealth taxes crushed the working class. Khan&#8217;s socialist fantasies prioritized ideology over jobs, leaving entrepreneurs fleeing.</p><p><strong>Mamdani&#8217;s agenda&#8212;$30 minimum wage, city-owned groceries, and corporate soakings&#8212;mirrors this poison.</strong> Your delis, bodegas, and startups? They&#8217;d suffocate under regulations and &#8220;worker protections&#8221; that sound noble but deliver closures. New York&#8217;s already hemorrhaging businesses; Mamdani would make it a mass exodus, leaving you footing the bill for his failed utopia.</p><p><strong>And security? Khan&#8217;s London is a cautionary tale of knives in the shadows and fear on the streets.</strong> Violent crime jumped 30% since 2017&#8212;knife attacks up yearly, robberies soaring 57%, theft rampant. Police stations closed, recruitment tanked, and trust evaporated as his &#8220;soft&#8221; migration stance let traffickers and predators slip through. Women and night workers live in dread, subways feel like no-go zones.</p><p><strong>Mamdani&#8217;s &#8220;community policing&#8221; and inclusion rhetoric?</strong> It&#8217;s Khan 2.0&#8212;defund, distract, deny. Your NYPD, already stretched thin, would buckle under unchecked arrivals, spiking assaults and gang violence.</p><p><strong>I&#8217;ve lived the terror of radicalism unchecked; New York, you can&#8217;t afford &#8220;London&#8217;s no-go vibes&#8221; in your boroughs.</strong></p><p><strong>New Yorkers, this isn&#8217;t hyperbole&#8212;it&#8217;s history screaming at you. </strong>London&#8217;s unchecked migration, shuttered shops, and insecure streets are Mamdani&#8217;s promise if you fall for his charm.</p><p><strong><a href="https://actvote.org/">Vote smart: Choose a mayor who puts New Yorkers first, not ideology or foreign agendas.</a></strong> Reject this path before it&#8217;s too late.

The <strong>Red-Green Axis</strong>, the toxic alliance between Marxist radicals and Islamists, was forged not on college campuses but in the <strong>Kremlin</strong>. The Soviet Union funded Arab regimes, trained terrorists, and flooded the Muslim world with anti-Zionist propaganda and Marxist ideology&#8212;all to destabilize the West. That playbook never died. Today, <strong>China and Russia</strong> carry it forward, exporting this hybrid warfare into our cities, schools, and government.</p><p>Look at <strong>New York City</strong>: Socialist Assemblyman <strong>Zohran Mamdani</strong>, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, openly pushes BDS while blending class warfare with anti-Western Islamic rhetoric. Shockingly, Jewish celebrities like <strong>Mandy Patinkin</strong> and <strong>Catherine Grody</strong> boost his campaign&#8212;despite its clear anti-Semitic undercurrents. This is the Red-Green Axis in action: <strong>leftist ideology fused with Islamist goals</strong>, now operating through <strong>universities, unions, and media</strong> to dismantle capitalism, Israel, and American sovereignty.</p><p>Across the Atlantic, <strong>London under Mayor Sadiq Khan</strong> is unrecognizable. His &#8220;inclusivity&#8221; agenda has empowered Islamic sensitivities to override British law&#8212;citizens arrested for walking dogs near mosques, police enforcing Sharia-like rules in public spaces. Europe is the warning; America is the target.</p><p>I lived this nightmare. As a child in Lebanon, I survived <strong>Islamic terror</strong> that bombed my home and forced my family into a bunker for seven years. That&#8217;s why I founded <strong>ACT for America</strong>&#8212;to stop this from happening here. In my book <em>Rise: In Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom</em>, I dedicate an entire chapter to the <strong>Islamist-leftist coalition</strong> working to destroy the United States from within.</p><p>These changes didn&#8217;t happen overnight. <strong>Sharia law entered U.S. courts in Texas in 1991</strong>&#8212;a full decade before 9/11. Since then, there have been <strong>143 documented cases</strong> across <strong>22 states</strong> where Islamic law was applied over the U.S. Constitution. In <strong>Detroit</strong> and <strong>Minnesota&#8217;s Somali communities</strong>, the <strong>public Islamic call to prayer</strong> now echoes daily, reshaping neighborhoods and silencing local opposition.</p><p>Make no mistake: <strong>Hamas controls Gaza&#8217;s information ministry</strong>&#8212;their propaganda is state-sponsored deception. Yet &#8220;useful idiots&#8221; on the left&#8212;and even some conservatives&#8212;parrot anti-Israel narratives pushed by <strong>China and Russia</strong>. These powers want the Arab world as a counterweight to America and Israel. But <strong>President Trump changed the game</strong> by expanding the <strong>Abraham Accords</strong>, forging peace and isolating our enemies.</p><p><strong>This is our moment.</strong> The Red-Green Axis is inside the gates. We must build <strong>local firewalls</strong>&#8212;city by city, school board by school board. Join <strong>ACT for America</strong> at <strong>actforamerica.org</strong>. Mobilize your community. Run for office. Expose infiltrators. Influence policy. <strong>We are the last line of defense</strong> for Judeo-Christian values, constitutional rule, and American freedom.</p><p>The battle is here. The time is now. <strong>Stand with us&#8212;or watch our nation fall.</strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/exposing-the-red-green-axis?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/exposing-the-red-green-axis?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;8036cf13-5ecf-4e9b-befb-388ae6af7f3e&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Fighting for America&#8217;s Soul Against a Hateful, Radical Revolution&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Radical Revolutionaries&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:35284484,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Act for America&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;The nation's premiere grassroots movement dedicated to preserving America's culture, security, and freedoms.

Such calculated lies, echoing Biden&#8217;s, reveal a willingness to deceive for power, threaten fair elections, and expose Newsom&#8217;s unfitness for the White House.</p><p><strong>In a cringeworthy bid for street cred, California Governor Gavin Newsom recently spun a tale of rags-to-riches grit on the NBA podcast All the Smoke, hosted by Black ex-players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes.</strong></p><p><strong>&#8220;I raised myself,&#8221;</strong> he boasted, evoking images of a latchkey kid scraping by on Wonder Bread, mac &#8216;n&#8217; cheese, and PB&amp;J, &#8220;hustlin&#8217;&#8221; with &#8220;two and a half jobs&#8221; for his single mom while fraying basketballs against the backyard wall. The performance&#8212;complete with a faux-hip-hop drawl&#8212;drew instant mockery, likened to Kamala Harris&#8217;s infamous accent switches, is a shameless ploy to bond with Black hosts and voters, painting Newsom as &#8220;one of them&#8221; amid California&#8217;s racial tensions.</p><p><em><strong>It&#8217;s Scarry, how easily he lies!</strong></em></p><p><strong>Newsom&#8217;s childhood was a far cry from urban struggle.</strong> Born in 1967 to Tessa Menzies and William Alfred Newsom III&#8212;a powerhouse judge and Getty Oil family attorney&#8212;Gavin grew up in San Francisco&#8217;s elite circles. His grandfather, William Newsom II, was a close confidant to oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, forging ties that granted young Gavin access to private schools, trust funds, and political grooming. Far from &#8220;payin&#8217; the bills,&#8221; the Newsoms hobnobbed with California&#8217;s ruling clans: the Browns, Pelosis, and Gettys. Newsom&#8217;s aunt Barbara married Ron Pelosi (Nancy&#8217;s brother-in-law), making the House Speaker a quasi-aunt by marriage until their 1977 divorce. Godparent swaps with the Gettys and Harrises cemented this web of influence, spanning decades of backroom deals from Pat Brown&#8217;s governorship to Jerry Brown&#8217;s Olympic concessions awarded to Newsom kin.</p><p><strong>These families have long puppeteered Golden State politics, blending bloodlines, marriages, and money to entrench Democratic dominance. </strong>William Newsom III&#8217;s judgeship, courtesy of Jerry Brown, and Getty-backed ventures launched Gavin&#8217;s wine business and mayoral run. <em><strong>It&#8217;s a dynasty where &#8220;hustle&#8221; means yacht parties, not frayed Spaldings.</strong></em></p><h4>Newsom&#8217;s comfort with deception doesn&#8217;t stop at personal myth-making.</h4><p><strong>Enter Proposition 50, his November 4, 2025, ballot ploy</strong>&#8212;a legislatively referred constitutional amendment to suspend the voter-established Citizens Redistricting Commission for 2026&#8211;2030 elections. Citing Trump&#8217;s Texas gerrymander (aiming to flip five seats Republican), Newsom&#8217;s measure greenlights a Democrat-favoring map, drawn by partisan legislators, to &#8220;fight fire with fire&#8221; by netting five Blue seats.</p><p>This violates California&#8217;s supermajority commission mandate, enshrined by voters in 2008 and 2010 to ban gerrymandering and protect communities of interest. It&#8217;s a naked power grab, <strong>costing taxpayers $200 million for a special election amid a $20 billion deficit,</strong> all to rig midterms and pave Newsom&#8217;s 2028 White House path.</p><p><strong>Newsom treats voters as pawns, not people&#8212;ditching fair maps for partisan theft, just as he fibs about his silver-spoon youth to manipulate empathy.</strong></p><p><em><strong>This isn&#8217;t leadership; it&#8217;s larceny.</strong></em></p><p><strong>Vote NO on Prop 50. Reject Newsom&#8217;s Lies!</strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/gavin-newsoms-rags-to-riches-lie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/gavin-newsoms-rags-to-riches-lie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.actforamerica.org/act-now/Stop-Election-Rigging" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MJwj!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c657eb9-b14e-4b71-9c03-1d993e5b45d7_648x340.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MJwj!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c657eb9-b14e-4b71-9c03-1d993e5b45d7_648x340.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MJwj!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c657eb9-b14e-4b71-9c03-1d993e5b45d7_648x340.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MJwj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c657eb9-b14e-4b71-9c03-1d993e5b45d7_648x340.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MJwj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c657eb9-b14e-4b71-9c03-1d993e5b45d7_648x340.jpeg" width="648" height="340" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1c657eb9-b14e-4b71-9c03-1d993e5b45d7_648x340.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:340,&quot;width&quot;:648,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;A person speaking at a podium\n\nAI-generated content may be incorrect.&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.actforamerica.org/act-now/Stop-Election-Rigging&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="A person speaking at a podium

This isn&#8217;t just gridlock&#8212;it&#8217;s a clash between fiscal conservatives committed to reining in Washington&#8217;s excesses and the radical, socialist-leaning wing of the Democratic Party, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, that&#8217;s willing to hold the American people hostage to fund their big-government fever dreams.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;79d448f9-b74b-4796-a095-5df9aed8ad4f&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p><strong>The House passed a straightforward CR on September 19 by a 217-212 vote, extending funding through November 21 at Fiscal Year 2025 levels</strong>&#8212;no frills, no riders, just a bridge to negotiate the full 12 appropriations bills later. This &#8220;clean&#8221; approach, endorsed by President Trump, would avert chaos for veterans, law enforcement, and everyday families while buying time for real reforms. However, in the Senate, Schumer and his allies have repeatedly blocked it, <strong>demanding a lengthy list of add-ons that would significantly increase the deficit and solidify progressive priorities.</strong> Their shorter-term counterproposal, through October 31, tacks on a permanent extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies&#8212;costing $350 billion over a decade, per Republican estimates&#8212;and over $1 trillion in broader health program expansions, <em><strong>including Medicaid tweaks that open the door to subsidies for undocumented immigrants.</strong></em></p><blockquote><p><strong>September 28, 2025: &#8220;There is NOTHING partisan in the CLEAN CR... Democrats want to give free health care to ILLEGAL ALIENS...&#8221;-Speaker Mike Johnson </strong></p></blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Every single bit of this was entirely avoidable,&#8221;</strong> House Speaker Mike Johnson thundered at a press conference on October 1, slamming Democrats for refusing the clean CR they themselves passed 13 times under President Biden.</p><p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune has been equally blunt, pleading for just five more Democratic votes to break the filibuster: <strong>&#8220;All it takes to reopen the government is cooperation from just five more Senate Democrats... There are clearly cracks on their side of the aisle.&#8221;</strong></p><p>Three Democrats&#8212;Sens. John Fetterman (PA), Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), and independent Angus King (ME) defied their party on October 1, voting for the GOP plan.</p><p><strong>But Schumer&#8217;s socialist squad&#8212;AOC, Bernie Sanders, and their ilk&#8212;remains dug in, turning what should be routine funding into a weaponized standoff.</strong> At the heart of the conservative fury are the &#8220;abusive, wasteful programs&#8221; Democrats are shamefully fighting to resurrect. </p><p><strong>Leading the charge is Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy, the fiscal hawk whose folksy takedowns of D.C. bloat have gone viral.</strong> On the Senate floor last Friday, Kennedy laid bare the Democrats&#8217; demands, accusing them of holding the government &#8220;hostage&#8221; to restore millions in &#8220;spending porn&#8221;&#8212;his signature term for taxpayer-funded absurdities. &#8220;Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez got very, very upset, as did the socialist wing of the party, when the president sent over what&#8217;s called a rescission package,&#8221; Kennedy said. &#8220;Basically, President Trump just said we want you to take some stuff out of the budget that we think is wasteful, and we did.&#8221;</p><p><strong>He rattled off examples from Trump&#8217;s $9.4 billion rescissions package, which Democrats now want reinstated:</strong> $3 million for an Iraqi &#8220;Sesame Street,&#8221; $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia, $500,000 for electric buses in Rwanda, and $67,000 to feed insect powder to kids in Madagascar. &#8220;Under former President Joe Biden, our federal government agreed to spend&#8221; on these &#8220;deeply weird, woke&#8221; projects, Kennedy wrote in a scorching New York Post op-ed. &#8220;If my colleagues still think this spending is necessary, they should vote no on his request. But here on planet Earth, the American people know they could be spending this money far better.&#8221;</p><p>In February, he praised Trump&#8217;s &#8220;prosecution&#8221; of waste: &#8220;These are the same people who have chosen to support illegal immigration over the rule of law... teachers&#8217; unions over parents and kids... criminals over cops and victims.&#8221;</p><p>The senator&#8217;s point? Democrats&#8217; CR demands aren&#8217;t about compassion&#8212;they&#8217;re about perpetuating a bloated bureaucracy that prioritizes globalist handouts over American priorities like border security and tax relief. Other conservatives echo Kennedy&#8217;s rage at the &#8220;absurd waste&#8221; and Democratic &#8220;games.&#8221; Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), a leading voice against omnibus monstrosities, has blasted Schumer&#8217;s tactics as &#8220;obstruction&#8221; straight from the &#8220;far-left wish list,&#8221; tying the shutdown to Democrats&#8217; refusal to cut $1.1 billion from NPR and PBS&#8212;&#8221;politically biased and activist media systems, at taxpayers&#8217; expense.&#8221;</p><p>House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good (R-VA) called the ACA push a <strong>&#8220;Trojan horse&#8221; for socialism: &#8220;Democrats are willing to furlough 900,000 federal workers just to subsidize their failing healthcare scheme&#8212;it&#8217;s absurd.&#8221;</strong> </p><p>Meanwhile, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) mocked the impasse on X: <strong>&#8220;Schumer&#8217;s playing shutdown chicken while families suffer. Pass the clean CR and stop the games.&#8221;</strong> </p><p><strong>The White House piled on, noting the CR maintains spending &#8220;50% more than in 2019&#8221; without a dime in cuts&#8212;yet Democrats cry crisis.</strong></p><p>Democrats&#8217; socialist arm sees the shutdown as leverage to embed irreversible spending, from ACA expansions that could add $662 billion to the deficit over 10 years (per CBO) to clawbacks on Trump&#8217;s tax cuts.</p><p><strong>The result? Delayed IRS refunds, stalled disaster aid, and economic drag are estimated at $1-2 billion daily.</strong></p><blockquote><p><em><strong>Polls show blame tilting toward Democrats, with 68% of independents siding with the clean CR.</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>Enough is enough. The American people didn&#8217;t elect a Congress to fund bug burgers in Madagascar or prop up failing entitlements&#8212;they want results. President Trump has provided the blueprint: Cut the waste, secure the border, and rebuild from within.</p><p>Now, it&#8217;s time for Congress to deliver. Call your senators today. Tell them: Pass a clean CR free of socialist wasteful spending. Demand they side with fiscal sanity over Schumer&#8217;s games. Lines are open&#8212;make your voice heard before military paychecks bounce on October 15 and the pain deepens. America deserves better than this D.C. circus.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm">Contact Your Senators!

President Trump&#8217;s One Big Beautiful Bill is a bold promise to deliver for every American&#8212;a beacon of hope that will make our dreams a reality!</p><p>We need those permanent tax cuts to keep more money in our pockets. We need access to affordable housing so every family can have a home to call their own. We need our borders secure to protect our sovereignty and our communities. We need the strongest military in the world to stand tall against global threats. And we need an economy unleashed and superpowered, paving the way for our children to seize opportunities and become the next generation of visionaries&#8212;future Trumps, imagine that!</p><p>We live in the greatest nation on Earth, a nation built on Judeo-Christian faith and principles that have stood the test of time. We are a nation of laws, now enforced to ensure the safety and security of our communities. We are a nation that welcomes immigrants to come legally, assimilate, and contribute to our greatness, just as I have been blessed to do.</p><p>So, let&#8217;s lift our chins high and take pride in our history, our roots, and the incredible future we&#8217;re building under the bold vision and leadership of our elected Republic. This is our moment to celebrate where we&#8217;re going&#8212;a nation poised to deliver on the promises we all believe in.</p><p>Get your iced tea, light those sparklers, hang your flags, and put on your red, white, and blue. </p><p><em><strong>Let&#8217;s make this 4th of July weekend one for the ages&#8212;a celebration of freedom, faith, and the unstoppable spirit of America!</strong></em></p><p>With all my heart,<br><em>Brigitte Gabriel</em></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>What Critics Can&#8217;t Understand About the One Big Beautiful Bill</strong></h4><p>Career Democrats and critics fail to grasp that growing a business requires substantial investment&#8212;in infrastructure, innovation, and people. President Trump&#8217;s One Big Beautiful Bill permanently locks in the tax cuts from his first term, delivering economic relief while strategically injecting seed money to revive the American Dream. By fostering investment and slashing red tape, it restores prosperity and freedom. Simultaneously, it strengthens border security to protect national sovereignty and bolsters our military to counter global bullies like China, whose rapid outpacing of our capabilities must be decisively stopped to ensure America&#8217;s dominance and safety. Certain investments have a predictable outcome, and this spending will yield revenues that will raise all boats and lift this nation into the Golden Age. Unlike the Democrats&#8217; waste, fraud, and abuse dumped into a pocket full of holes, the growth from this strategic spending will lead us to dreams like abolishing the income tax, securing Social Security and Medicare for future generations, and so much more. We are investing in America&#8217;s future for every American.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/brigitte-lets-celebrate-a-victory?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://actforamerica.substack.com/p/brigitte-lets-celebrate-a-victory?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h4><strong>President Trump has personally requested our assistance!</strong></h4><p><strong>Congress is being overwhelmed, but we need to apply maximum pressure.</strong> Take a few minutes to click through and <strong>call your Representative</strong> by leaving a message over the weekend.

In this interview with Gary Binford, she lays bare the spiritual and political stakes, calling President Trump&#8217;s recent decisive action against Iran a God-ordained intervention at the brink of nuclear catastrophe.</p><p><strong>Codifying Trump&#8217;s Agenda: From Executive Order to Law</strong></p><p>Gabriel doesn&#8217;t just sound alarms&#8212;she offers marching orders. Through her organization, ActForAmerica.org, Gabriel is working directly with President Trump and Congress to turn executive orders into codified laws before the next midterm election. She urges listeners to wake up and act:</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Being informed without taking action means nothing.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote><p>Gabriel warns that Democrats are already lobbying lawmakers around the clock. Conservatives must move beyond conferences and rubber-chicken dinners to local action&#8212;calling reps, showing up, and staying engaged.</p><p><strong>The Real Threat from Iran: An EMP Nightmare</strong></p><p>Forget Israel for a moment, Gabriel says. Americans need to understand that Iran has planned for years to cripple the U.S. through an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) attack. Just one nuclear-tipped missile detonated 300 miles above the heartland could send the entire nation back to the 14th century&#8212;no power, no transportation, no food, no medicine. Congress knew this in 2009. Few Americans do today.</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The EMP Commission estimated 90% of Americans would die in the first year.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote><p>This chilling reality explains why Trump acted&#8212;and why Gabriel warns against the Democrats&#8217; efforts to impeach him for it. The danger is not theoretical. It is imminent.</p><p><strong>The Spiritual Battle Behind the Headlines</strong></p><p>Gabriel and Binford both frame the Iranian conflict in biblical terms. The divide dates back to Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael, establishing a perpetual conflict between the descendants of the promise and those who oppose God&#8217;s covenant with Israel. Radical Islam isn&#8217;t just a geopolitical threat&#8212;it&#8217;s a theological revolt against God&#8217;s sovereignty.</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;People don&#8217;t even know why we support Israel. They don&#8217;t know why they hate us. They don&#8217;t know what this is about.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote><p>Removing God from schools, government, and society has left Americans&#8212;especially younger generations&#8212;defenseless in the face of evil ideologies masked as peace movements. The church, too, has failed to equip believers with the historical and spiritual discernment they need.</p><p class="button-wrapper"
