The term “Red-Green axis” describes the improbable, but very real, collusion between radical leftists and sharia-supremacist Muslims. Despite myriad differences, they collaborate here, animated by a shared goal of destroying our constitutional Republic. 

While examples of such cooperation abound, Texas has lately been a locus of particularly insidious ones. For instance, in recent days, hard leftists and Muslim Brotherhood operatives pressed – fortunately unsuccessfuly – the State Board of Education to adopt a K-12 social studies curriculum promoting cultural Marxist and pro-sharia agendas. 

And last Saturday, a “young Democrats” group in Tarrant County issued a statement aligned with, if not actually written by, Muslim Brothers. It falsely asserted, “Islam teaches peace and justice. Islam…does not teach people to hurt others, engage in acts of terrorism, or promote violence.”

Patriots must expose and reject the Red-Green Axis.

Last night, a packed hall in Dallas celebrated the fight to defeat sharia’s stealth jihad against Western Civilization and five men at its forefront. 

This is our time’s “existential threat” to liberty and in Texas – and, indeed, the rest of America – we must learn from the mistakes Great Britain and most of Europe have made for too long.

Notably, British freedom-fighter Tommy Robinson condemned the U.K.’s decades-long tolerance of primarily Pakistani Muslim rape gangs.

And four Texan legislators – Congressmen Keith Self and Chip Roy and State Representatives Brent Money and Brian Harrison – described their efforts to push back on, and ultimately defeat, sharia-supremacism.

On this occasion, they embraced our “Sharia-Free Pledge,” committing to do everything in their power to prevent the imposition of sharia here. We must now encourage others seeking elective office across this country to do the same at BanSharia.com.

Tonight, four extraordinary patriots – three American, one British – will join forces to help Save Texas and Save America from the threat sharia-supremacism poses to both, and Western civilization more generally. 

The event will take place in Dallas and feature remarks by the U.K.’s Tommy Robinson and U.S. Congressmen Keith Self and Chip Roy and Texas State Representative Brent Money. 

Each has been powerfully raising alarms about the stealthy jihad that has long – and increasingly successfully – been waged by the Muslim Brotherhood and others determined to replace the West’s tradition of freedom with the slavery of Islam’s totalitarian sharia political-military-legal system. 

We will celebrate these courageous leaders tonight as they urge the 1.9 million Texans who voted last month to prohibit sharia in their state – and others who will be voting in November – to catalyze such actions there and across America. BanSharia.com.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been formally charged with fraud at the expense of its many donors and to the public’s detriment. It’s about time.

The SPLC allegedly paid informants in organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, effectively aiding the very “hate groups” it professes to oppose. 

I can attest from hard personal experience that this so-called “watchdog” has garnered funds by fraudulently branding as “haters” countless individuals and organizations who are simply conservative, and therefore at odds with the SPLC’s radical leftist agenda and that of its sharia-supremacist allies. 

In short, it’s a disreputable instrument of political warfare, with a sordid record of prejudice and hateful behavior towards its own employees.  

The Justice Department’s investigation of the SPLC is ongoing. Let us pray it fully exposes and ultimately dismantles what I consider to be a thoroughly corrupt and hate-mongering monster.

As a resident of Virginia, I voted “No” this morning on the stunning power-grab that commonwealth’s Democrats are trying to pass. If you’re an eligible Virginia voter, I encourage you to vote “No” as well in the course of this Election Day.

At issue is a constitutional amendment that would gerrymander the current congressional districts from a six Democrat to five Republican split to one in which there would be ten Democratic representatives to just one Republican. 

If it succeeds, nearly half the state’s electorate would effectively be disenfranchised. 

Adding insult to injury is ballot language claiming this gambit is designed to “restore fairness in the upcoming elections.” In fact, it’s designed to give Democrats control of the U.S. House of Representatives next year and consume the last two years of President Trump’s term with impeachments, subpoenas and other distractions. 

Just say “No.”

In one of history’s most insidious and impactful acts of information warfare, Soviet Communist influence operatives successfully defeated Senator Joseph McCarthy’s efforts to expose their penetration of the U.S. government. 

Even though McCarthy was correct, his name was made synonymous with false allegations of imagined internal threats –creating a societal norm that there are no actual enemies within and anyone who says otherwise is beyond the pale. 

Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier dared to defy this stricture to warn about Marxist infiltration and undermining of our armed forces. Check out the Heritage Foundation’s new film, “Call Sign Courage,” that powerfully documents how the Biden administration retaliated against this extraordinary officer, prematurely ending his career in uniform, and how, thanks be to God and Donald Trump, he is currently a top Pentagon leader, taking corrective action.

In recent days, President Trump and Pope Leo have had very public disagreements about, among other things, the justness of the war with Iran. 

It turns out that Leo is a leftist who, despite his American roots, is more comfortable currying favor with totalitarians than opposing them. 

For example, the Pope has continued his predecessor’s practice of acquiescing to the Chinese Communist Party as it seeks to crush China’s Catholic and other religious communities. That’s indefensible.

And, during his recent visit to Algeria, Leo professed that Christians and Muslims can be friends, ignoring that country’s ongoing and aggressive persecution of those who follow Jesus.

While Christ taught that peacemakers are blessed, ignoring sharia-adherent Iranian and other Muslims’ obligation not to take Christians and Jews as friends – and, indeed, to kill them – is a formula for genocide, not genuine and just peace.

China is reportedly using space assets to help target Iran’s attacks on American personnel, equipment and regional allies. 

Unfortunately, such weaponization of space against us is but a small foretaste of what Chinese dictator Xi Jinping has in the works. Especially concerning is his determination to get “boots” on the lunar ground before we return to the moon. 

Asked yesterday by Maria Bartiromo whether we would “win the moon race,” President Trump demurred, observing the  Chinese might “get lucky.” If they do and arrive with the intention and capability to preclude us from landing on or otherwise using the moon, its resources and strategic location, we will not just be unlucky. We’ll be at a perilous disadvantage in space and here on earth. 

Consequently, every effort must now be made to win the race to the moon – and, once there, be prepared to defend it.

President Trump has a lot of legitimate complaints at the moment about our so-called “allies.” A number of them have refused our use of bases we pay for, permission to fly through their airspace, and help with the Strait of Hormuz, upon which they rely far more than we do for access to energy.

Such fair-weather friends just added insult to injury amidst the war with Iran by granting its monstrous regime both legitimacy and influence at the United Nations. 

As the non-governmental organization UN Watch caustically observed, the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Australia were among the Western nations that nominated Iran to a seat on a UN committee whose responsibilities include shaping policy on human rights, women’s rights, and terrorism prevention. 

To its credit, the United States stood alone in opposing this reprehensible travesty. Now President Trump should defund it.

In the course of last week, an epic struggle took place in Austin, Texas with potentially far-reaching implications for the country as a whole. At issue is the character and content of social studies curricula that will be used to teach millions of K-12 children in that state, and perhaps another twenty across the USA over the next decade. 

Over sixty hours of deliberations and votes, the Board adopted required reading and other essential knowledge and skills standards that factually describe the history of our exceptional nation. In so doing, it rejected alternatives favored by a designated terrorist group known as the Council on American Islamic Relations and its radical leftist allies designed to denigrate America and indoctrinate and alienate our kids.   

Consequently, praise God, our children will have a basis for pride in this country – and grounds for helping protect her.
