Hamas Hacktivists

How can some terrorist sympathizing group hack into our airport communication systems?

Pro-Hamas, Trump-hating, Netanyahu-hating cyber terrorists hacked into the public address systems of four North American airports, one in Pennsylvania and three in Canada. The extremists broadcast messages calling for the destruction of Israel and “F—k Netanyahu and Trump.”
 
The cyber terrorists also took over flight information boards, posting pictures of Hamas leaders and these phrases: “ISRAEL LOST THE WAR, HAMAS WON THE WAR HONORABLY” and “You are a pig, Donald Trump.”
 
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy blasted the cyberattack and vowed to “get to the bottom of this hack.”
 
How in the world could this happen?
 
While the rest of us are getting patted down and losing our Swiss Army knives because we forgot they were in our pockets (yes, that would be me), how can some terrorist sympathizing group hack into our airport communication systems? What would stop them from causing mass panic by announcing a terrorist attack was taking place?
 
We already know how antiquated our air traffic control system is. God forbid they ever manage to hack into that!
 
And to think that today’s leftists on our college campuses and elsewhere have aligned themselves with these terrorists. They are chanting the same vile slogans and supporting the same genocidal cause.
 
Yes, there are enemies within our country.
 
 
 
Mamdani’s Message
 
Zohran Mamdani was interviewed on Fox News Wednesday. Kudos to Martha McCallum for her tough questioning. Two things jumped out at me during the interview, and the first is perhaps the most disturbing.
 
Mamdani identifies as a socialist but is really a Marxist. In his case, it’s a difference without a distinction. But he is very smooth. He is not bumbling Biden, cackling Kamala, or the senator for indigenous people, Fauxcahontas.
 
Mamdani is straight out of central casting. He is glib with a natural smile and laugh. It will be extremely difficult to laugh him off if he becomes the next mayor of New York City. He will be a force to reckon with.
 
The other thought that crossed my mind is that he does not see New York City as an American city. Of course, he would never say it that way. But the Big Apple is one of many emerging “globalist” cities in the West.
 
For example, is London really a British city? If you’re there on business or vacationing, let me know what you think. The city has a Muslim mayor. The monuments to British history are regularly vandalized or have no relevance to many people currently living there.
 
Mamdani has made it clear he is committed to following international law if he is mayor. Mamdani has said repeatedly that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu steps foot in New York City, he will have Netanyahu arrested. Why? Because the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on war crimes charges.
 
The U.S. does not recognize this court. We have no treaty with it. It has previously tried to put U.S. troops in jail for “war crimes.”
 
Mamdani is not that far out of line from the worldviews of other big city Democrat mayors. The mayors of Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, etc., operate as if they are mayors of global cities, not American cities.
 
They routinely defy federal law. They have large populations from foreign countries, many of whom, unfortunately, have been educated in American universities, which are not really American universities. They are globalist universities, producing citizens of the new globalist order, an order that can only be established if America and Israel disappear. 
 
So, we can mock Mamdani as much as we want. We can say his ideology has never worked before. But we have an entire generation that has been taught to hate capitalism and Judeo-Christian values.
 
We’ll see what happens in a few weeks. But the leftist, Marxist populism of this rising star in today’s Democrat Party will sound good to many people.
 
 
 
The Left’s War On Law Enforcement
 
Several Democrat congresswomen just stormed Speaker Mike Johnson’s office. Ponder that for a second. They are legislators. Why are they marching on anyone’s office? Apparently, they had nothing better to do.
 
Their stunt resulted in minor vandalism. Then, they verbally assaulted a Capitol Hill police officer who was doing his job by trying to protect the speaker’s office.
 
This demonstration made it clear just how ingrained anti-police animosity is within the modern Democrat Party. And I’m not just talking about street demonstrators who regularly assault police and compare them to the KKK. I’m talking about elected Democrats at every level.
 
Joe Biden said our police are racists. Every Democrat who wants to be the party’s 2028 presidential nominee regularly uses language that incites violence against our immigration police.
 
The mayors of Boston and Chicago and other elected Democrats regularly refer to immigration police as “Nazis” or the “Gestapo.” A new phrase being used is “Trump’s MAGA army.”
 
House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries promised that “every single one” of our immigration police officers “will be held accountable.” For what? They are enforcing the laws Congress has passed!
 
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said, “Maybe they won’t get prosecuted today, although we’re looking into that. But they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration.”
 
These brave men and women are risking their lives enforcing the laws of the United States, and prominent Democrats want to put them in jail when their party regains power.
 
Other Democrats are promising to pass a dangerous law, if they take back the House after next year’s midterm elections, that forces federal immigration police to never be masked.
 
They’re threatening this when immigration police are being ambushed and shot. They’re saying this when drug cartels are putting up bounties on our immigration police. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the bounties are: 

  • $2,000 for intelligence gathering and doxing of agents.
  • $5,000–$10,000 for kidnapping or non-lethal assaults on regular officers.
  • $50,000 for the assassination of high-ranking officials. 

Meanwhile, a new poll shows that 42% of self-identified liberals say it’s okay to use violence to stop immigration police from detaining and deporting illegal aliens. Among liberals under 30, the figure is 60%.
 
The Left’s violent rhetoric is inciting violence against law enforcement.
 
 
 
China’s Christian Crackdown
 
Last week, communist Chinese authorities launched a major crackdown against Christians. Pastor Ezra Jin of Zion Church, one of the largest underground evangelical churches in China, was arrested Friday. Dozens of other pastors were also arrested.
 
Grace Jin, Pastor Ezra’s daughter, is an American citizen. She said there is no question this assault on religious freedom was ordered by the Chinese Communist Party leadership.
 
“This is definitely orchestrated by a high-up central government level,” Grace said. “They were rounding up people from all across China… It was almost simultaneous … and it was orchestrated all together at the same time.”
 
Bob Fu, founder of China Aid, warned, “Xi Jinping has waged a war against God’s Church… persecution against religious freedom has reached the worst [level] in 40 years.”
 
In 2016, Chairman Xi ordered all churches in China to submit to Communist Party control through a process called “Sinicization.” Sinicized churches are licensed by the Chinese Communist Party, and pastors are required to teach Communist Party ideology as part of their sermons.
 
The brutal regime has ordered churches to take down crosses and pictures of Jesus and replace them with pictures of Chairman Xi.
 
Many Chinese Christians have rejected these oppressive orders and attend underground churches like Zion Church. But their faithfulness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ makes them targets of communist oppression.
 
Earlier this year, China’s State Administration for Religious Affairs issued new rules to further control, if not completely shut down, many churches. Pastors were essentially banned from any online activity. 

  • They could not be online influencers.
  • They could not appear in livestreams.
  • They could not host religious discussions in online forums.
  • They could not post their sermons online.
  • They could not “induce minors to believe in religion via the Internet.”
  • They could not use artificial intelligence (AI) to create religious content. 

In addition, the communist regime threatened to prosecute pastors for “collusion with foreign forces” and “foreign religious infiltration activities.”
 
As we have seen here in the United States, when the government accuses someone of “collusion with foreign forces,” it can be very difficult, even for a billionaire, to defend themselves.
 
The Trump administration is calling on Beijing to release Pastor Jin and end its oppression of peaceful Christians. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said:
 
“The United States condemns the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)‘s recent detention of dozens of leaders of the unregistered house Zion Church in China, including prominent pastor Mingri 'Ezra’ Jin.   
 
"This crackdown further demonstrates how the CCP exercises hostility towards Christians who reject Party interference in their faith… We call on the CCP to immediately release the detained church leaders and to allow all people of faith, including members of house churches, to engage in religious activities without fear of retribution.”
 
Please, keep our Chinese brothers and sisters in your prayers.
 
 
 
It Was Worth It
 
Scott Adams, the creator of the famous Dilbert comic strip, is dying from the same aggressive cancer that Joe Biden has. Adams didn’t expect to live as long as he has. But he’s glad he did.
 
Adams posted an emotional video reacting to President Trump’s peace deal ending the war in Gaza. Adams, like many of you, lost a lot when he publicly supported Donald Trump in 2016. He is grateful, knowing now that it was all worth it.
 
I urge you to take a few minutes to watch his remarks here. Share them with others who need to hear his message.
 
 
 
Defending Faith, Family, & Freedom
 
In my latest “Defending Faith, Family, & Freedom” podcast for the James Dobson Family Institute, I speak with my good friend and award-winning filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza about his powerful new documentary, The Dragon’s Prophecy.
 
Based on the best-selling book by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the film explores how today’s Middle Eastern conflicts mirror events in the Old Testament and how the fate of the world could be tied to both the current crisis and biblical prophecy.
