Last year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and its Council on American Islamic Relations front as terrorist organizations. One might be forgiven for thinking that would put CAIR out of business, at least in Texas. 

CAIR’s business is supporting the Brotherhood’s sharia-supremacism and, in particular, its Palestinian franchise Hamas, a federally designated terrorist organization. 

Yet, CAIR is currently mobilizing with leftist allies an effort to dictate what children in K-12 public schools across the nation learn about America, denouncing an approved, standard-setting social studies curriculum in Texas as “Islamophobic” and “exclusionary.” 

Those aiding and abetting a terrorist organization like CAIR are on notice: By promoting sharia, a doctrine that requires the overthrow of the U.S. government, CAIR is by definition engaged in seditious conspiracy. Material support for such an entity could, and should, have consequences for all involved.

Next Tuesday, the Texas State Board of Education will cast votes with potentially profound and far-reaching implications for students across America. That’s because publishers sell nationwide the textbooks used to teach Texans’ curriculums.

So, if Texas’ State Board of Education sticks with a patriotic framework for K-12 social studies that it adopted last year and the standards that would implement it, kids throughout America will be equipped with factual information about, for example, our Founders, our Constitution and other founding documents, and the Judeo-Christian beliefs at their core. 

If, on the other hand, a designated terrorist group called the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its leftist allies have their way, our children will instead be indoctrinated with political agendas inimical to our freedoms and values.

On March 3rd, 1.9 million Texans voted to prohibit sharia law in their state. Next Tuesday, the Council on American Islamic Relations intends to win a vote involving just fifteen people, insinuating sharia’s agenda into textbooks used in Texas and across the country. 

The occasion is an April 7th hearing and vote in the State Board of Education on whether to stick with its previously approved, pro-America curriculum for K-through-12 social studies or adopt a “CAIR curriculum.” It may be the most important battle in Texas since the Alamo, a structure that, according to CAIR’s version of history, was a tribute to Islam. 

Sharia-supremacists – like all totalitarians – know if they can indoctrinate the children, they can dominate the society. Texans and other Americans who don’t want a designated terrorist group like CAIR dictating what our kids are taught must say so now.

President Trump is now declaring that he has achieved “regime change” in Iran. It’s very welcome that that is, in fact, our purpose. So is Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s report that what’s left of the previous Iranian government is fracturing.

But the President is indicating that we are now dealing with government officials three layers down with whom we have not interacted before. He is suggesting that amounts to regime change.

Unfortunately, if such interlocutors adhere to their predecessors’ apocalypitic sharia-supremacist agenda, the inevitable result will be that the Iranian people remain enslaved and ours, among many others in the region and beyond, remain imperilled.

President Trump is right to seek regime change and to insist on new people leading the government of Iran that emerges from this war. But putting toxic old wine into new bottles will assure our defeat.

The Council on American Islamic Relations has been the Muslim Brotherhood’s pitbull front group from shortly after its organizational meeting in 1993, which was wiretapped by the FBI. Its particular mission has been supporting the Brothers’ terrorist Palestinian franchise, Hamas.  

CAIR itself has been designated as a terrorist organization by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida’s Ron DeSantis. Gov. DeSantis is expected shortly to sign pathbreaking legislation that, among other things, confirms that status and would effectively shut CAIR’s operations in Florida. 

Next week, though, a member of the Texas State Board of Education named Pam Little – who has been endorsed by that terrorist organization – is apparently poised to cast the deciding vote to approve an anti-American “CAIR curriculum” for K-through-12 social studies education that would not only be used in Texan schools, but across the country. That must not happen.

This afternoon, Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlevi is scheduled to address the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas. His appearance affords an opportunity for a potential transitional leader of a post-ayatollah Iranian government to clarify what is at stake in the nearly month-long war in the Middle East.

Hopefully, he will speak for the vast majority of his countrymen who yearn for deliverance at last from the regime that has long brutalized them and threatened us. They understand that only the end of that death-cult animated by Islam’s totalitarian sharia code will actually finish the war and the threat the mullahs present to the whole world.

As it happens, an important theme of this CPAC is ending the menace posed by sharia in Texas and the rest of America, as well. Learn why – and how you can help – at BanSharia.com.

Today, the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gets underway in earnest in Dallas, Texas. CPAC is the year’s single most important gathering of American patriots and this particular meeting promises to be especially so.

That’s because on March 3rd, 1.9 million Texan voters supported Proposition 10 in the state’s Republican primary. In so doing by a margin of 95-5%, they endorsed these five words: “Texas should prohibit sharia law.”

It is nothing short of providential that, in the immediate aftermath of that epic vote, thousands of political candidates, activists and donors are going to be convening in a city squarely in the crosshairs of sharia-supremacists intent on conquering, not just Texas, but the rest of the country, as well. 

We hope to launch a powerful movement at CPAC 26 with candidates taking the Sharia-Free Pledge. Encourage yours to do so at BanSharia.com

It’s hard to keep up with developments in the war with the apocalyptic Iranian regime that has brutally repressed its own people and endlessly threatened, and periodically attacked, ours for nearly fifty years. 

The question is whether a man who has been at the heart of that government and directly responsible for many of its horrifying atrocities – including the mass murder of countless Iranians who responded to President Trump’s call to overthrow the ayatollahs – is a man with whom we now can safely and prudently do business.

Mohammed Ghalibaf may be the Iranian parliament’s speaker. But he’s also a top general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps – a committed and dangerous jihadist.

Let us pray that President Trump is once again buying time to bring to bear the Marines and other forces needed to prevent, not enable, further threats from Iran.

President Trump has indicated that the United States is now involved in negotiations with a surviving top, but as-yet-unidentified, Iranian official. 

Press accounts indicate the interlocutor is Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps General Mohammed Ghalibaf. If true, that would mean the President thinks that perhaps the regime’s most vicious butcher of the Iranian people is a candidate for the so-called “Venezualan solution.”

Put simply, that’s a non-starter. Making a deal that leaves such a monster in charge of Iran would not only be an odious betrayal of that nation’s long-suffering population. It would also be seen throughout the region and among the world’s sharia-supremacists elsewhere as a victory for the jihadists. And it would ensure that the war will continue, almost certainly under less favorable circumstances for us.

Donald Trump has no intention of having such an ignominious defeat as his legacy.

President Trump has made no secret of his ambition to “take Cuba” next. It’s hard to overstate the importance of such an initiative. 

Obviously, freeing the long-suffering people of that island nation would end their collective nightmare caused by six decades of Communist misrule. 

But it would also have profound knock-on effects for this country and its vital interests throughout the Western hemisphere. 

For one thing, Cuba has provided a permanent base of operations for hostile powers including Russia, China and Iran. 

Cuba’s collaboration with such adversaries has extended to nations elsewhere in the region, as well – subverting its democracies and, particularly through Chinese penetration and domination of nation after nation, empowering and weaponizing its many hard-left governments.
