Terrorist taking advantage of Biden's open borders

 NY Post:

The New York Post brings us yet more news in an overly familiar new genre: a Lebanese immigrant caught at the El Paso-Juarez border admitted he was a member of the terrorist group Hezbollah and entered with plans to build a bomb in New York.

It’s important to note that no US government agent forced this confession out of Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, as part of any well-worn border counterterrorism program.

No, Ebbadi bushwhacked medical personnel in the health section with the unsolicited confession.

And if he hadn’t, he seemed poised to be ushered into America with everyone else crossing the border from all the nations of the Middle East and world who arrive without any identification.

None of this is a surprise, yet no one in power has lifted a finger to stop it.

A well-oiled counterterrorism program was put in place at the border after 9/11, and worked exceptionally well catching and filtering suspected terrorists, as I wrote in my book, “America’s Covert Border War, The Untold Story of the Nation’s battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration.”

But as I have opined in these pages and also testified before Congress until blue in the face, those border counterterrorism programs have collapsed under the massive swells of illegal immigration purposefully organized by the White House.

The Biden administration knows this.

In his latest testimony to Congress only two days before Ebbadi gave himself up, FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that a “wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from” the Southwest border.

“So, I want to be a little bit careful about how far I can go in open session, but there is a particular network that has, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we’re very concerned about and that we’ve been spending enormous amount of effort with our partners that we’re investigating,” Wray said.

My testimony and Wray’s are in line with the Biden administration’s own 2024 Homeland Threat Assessment, which clearly warns on page 12 that “terrorists” are among criminal actors that “may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States.

“Individuals with potential terrorism connections continue to attempt to enter the Homeland illegally between ports of entry…via the southern border,” the assessment reads, tallying that 160 terror suspects were actually detained crossing in fiscal 2023.”

Some of those are going to be sent by Iran.

“Among state actors, we expect Iran to remain the primary sponsor of terrorism and continue its efforts to advance plots against individuals in the United States,” the assessment states.

The near-miss of a watch-listed Hezbollah border crosser is all the more confounding in light of the April 19, 2022 accidental release of a Lebanon-born Venezuelan on the watch list.
...
What should be obvious is that Biden does not care who is coming across the border.  If he did he would reimpose the Trump border policies which worked.  Instead, he is allowing millions of illegals into the country.  It looks like the only way to get control of the border is to reelect Trump and not Biden.  Trump could complete the border fence and put more personnel on the border to detect and stop illegals.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
