Threats To The Homeland
Earlier this week, we told you about the radical Islamists chanting, "Death to America! Death to Israel!" in Dearborn, Michigan. It was a shocking display of hatred, but also a stark reminder that the barbarians are inside the gates.
They are here because of our insane open borders immigration policies. They are here because we do not seriously vet the people coming into our country to find out what they believe and whether they share our values.
Immigration reform cannot be only about securing a steady flow of cheap labor. It must be about securing the safety of the American people. This is a top priority of our work, and we are regularly making the case with top policymakers and in the media for secure borders and commonsense reforms that put America first.
And it's not just immigrants. An 18 year-old student was arrested last weekend for planning suicide attacks on churches in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. He pledged his loyalty to ISIS and timed his attack for the end of Ramadan.
How does a young student become radicalized by Islamic extremism to the point where he is willing to attack his own country? There is no simple answer, but much of the blame falls on the anti-American indoctrination that is taking place in our schools today.
Too many American kids are taught that our founders were evil men and that our country was evil at its birth and is evil today. That's one reason why so many young people today think Osama bin Laden was a "good guy" and are siding with the terrorists of Hamas over the democratic state of Israel.
If they are brainwashed by that kind of indoctrination, we shouldn't be surprised when some take up arms against what they believe is an "evil nation."
The anti-American history that is so prevalent in our schools today is total insanity!
I am committed to rooting out neo-Marxist ideologies from our schools and restoring pride and patriotism in our country. If we don't do this, we won't have a country much longer.
The Deep State Threat
Meanwhile, the debate continues in Congress over renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
As I just noted, we are facing serious threats. And one of those threats is a Deep State that meddles in our elections and threatens our liberties.
We must demand accountability and transparency. We must be able to trust that our own government is following the law and not turning the powers it has to protect us against us.
Sadly, after what we have witnessed in recent years, that trust is gone.
The 19 House conservatives who objected to the FISA bill should not be attacked by the GOP establishment. We should be demanding to know why more of our elected representatives aren't insisting on stronger reforms.
Why, when the FBI has spied on parents, conservative churches, and presidential campaigns, are we giving them more power? Some believe FBI Director Wray lied under oath about these abuses and did nothing to discipline those responsible.
The GOP's knee-jerk reaction to blindly trust the government, which is infested with leftist ideologues, has got to stop! Have they learned nothing from the Russia collusion hoax?
Congressional oversight should not mean rubberstamping whatever a federal agency wants, no matter if it's the CIA, EPA, FBI, or Pentagon.
