President Trump is taking decisive action to ensure the safety of the American people and to stop importing hate into our country. Tuesday, the president signed an order adding five more countries to the list of nations under full travel restrictions and entry limitations. Those countries are: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria.
 
They join 12 countries from the president’s previous order: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
 
In addition, the president imposed full travel restrictions on individuals holding passports issued by the Palestinian Authority. He also tightened travel restrictions on two countries: Laos and Sierra Leone.
 
That brings the total number of nations and entities under full travel restrictions to 20. Most of these countries have one thing in common: They are overwhelmingly Muslim-majority countries. Some are jihadi breeding grounds, and the cultures of these nations are statistically proven to have the highest level of hatred for Jews and Christians.
 
Some may argue that immigrants from these countries are coming here for a “good life.” That’s irrelevant. Everybody wants a good life. German Nazis wanted a “good life.”
 
These nations are infested with hatred, and their citizens believe that Islam and Sharia law should be the governing philosophy of any country they live in.
 
The fact that this is a “complicated” and “controversial” issue for our establishment elites is a sign of how stupid they have become.
 
 
 
Trump v. Maduro
 
Tuesday night, President Trump announced a “total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers” attempting to enter or leave Venezuelan waters. The key word here is “sanctioned.” Some hyperventilating talking heads are claiming that Trump is blocking every ship trying to go to or leave Venezuela.
 
The reason for the president’s action is clear. He is enforcing the Monroe Doctrine that declared the Western Hemisphere an American “sphere of influence,” and he is confronting enemies of the United States in that sphere.
 
The Marxist Maduro regime is an enemy of the United States and the Venezuelan people. Maduro is allied with communist China, Iran, and Russia. He has been sending dangerous drugs and vicious gangs across our borders to destabilize our country. He is financing these acts of war through illegal oil sales, using a “dark fleet” or “ghost ships” to transport the illegal oil.
 
And unlike Joe Biden, Donald Trump is actually doing something about it.
 
 
 
Coincidence Or Cover-up?
 
The haphazard investigation into the murders of two Brown University students continues to astonish analysts and observers. The public is left with more questions than answers.
 
Multiple analysts are saying that Brown University conducted mass deletions of their website, purging the comments of students and others celebrating the murder of pro-Israel, Christian student Ella Cook.
 
Harmeet Dhillon, a top official at the Trump Justice Department, called these reports “concerning.” I am glad to know that she is paying attention to this case.
 
Media commentator Mark Halperin interviewed two analysts, and both said something is seriously wrong with this investigation. The answers being given by local authorities are so stupid that it suggests they are attempting to cover up something that would reflect badly on their leftist worldview.
 
Meanwhile, speculation is swirling about another Brown University student—Mustapha Kharbouch. Born and raised in Lebanon, Kharbouch is all in on pro-Palestinian radicalism and leftist ideology. According to an online profile, one of his interests is “the intersection of queer studies with Palestinian studies.” I guess he’s part of “Queers for Palestine.”
 
Last year, he contributed to a series of student essays about the anti-Israel protests and encampments on college campuses. He wrote this: “Our refusal to be complacent in the heart of the empire is the bare minimum of love and care we can show our people in Gaza,” and “Palestine is becoming a question of how we (the radical Left) want to fundamentally rearrange our world.”
 
By “refusal to be complacent,” he means pro-Hamas rioting. “Heart of the empire” refers to America. There was no “love” or “care” in those hate-filled, violent demonstrations. Jewish students were terrorized, threatened, and physically assaulted.
 
Just think about the insanity of trying to “fundamentally rearrange our world” around “Palestine.” What does that even mean? Second-class status for women? A second Holocaust? Rampant corruption? Indoctrination of children?
 
As of now, there is no proof connecting Kharbouch to the murderous attack. Still, why were all of his articles and social media suddenly scrubbed? But Brown University President Christina Paxson claims she is unaware of any materials on the university’s website being deleted.
 
By the way, Providence police officials now say they are looking for a second person seen on video in the same vicinity as the first person they are still trying to identify.
 
 
 
Another Mystery
 
MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro, one of America’s top nuclear scientists and fusion researchers, was murdered Monday night in his home, which is just a one-hour drive from Brown University. No one is in custody, and there are no suspects. People are understandably asking questions.
 
Don’t forget that the U.S. government has acknowledged that there are Iranian hit squads in the United States. The Iranian government has bragged about it. How did they get in? They probably walked across Biden’s open border.
 
Some of these hit squads were sent to assassinate Donald Trump. There were also concerns that if we attacked Iran’s nuclear weapons program, these hit squads would “hit back” at targets in the United States.
 
Are we now, in the middle of Chanukah and Christmas, in the middle of an Iranian-sponsored attack on the United States?
 
It is perfectly reasonable to ask questions to find out what is going on.
 
 
 
Evil in Sydney
 
We saw terrible evil when two Islamic supremacists massacred Jews celebrating Chanukah on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The ignorance of the leftist government in Canberra caused this event and will make other atrocities more likely.
 
But in the midst of that evil, there was great heroism in Sydney, too. We know about the fruit store owner who physically tackled one shooter.
 
There was also Chaya, a 14-year-old girl who saved two children by shielding their bodies with her own. Boris and Sofia Gurman, ages 69 and 61, bravely fought with the other shooter who was firing from a nearby bridge. Sadly, Boris and Sofia were both murdered.
 
These people operated in the same spirit as the men and women on Flight 93 on 9/11. Led by Christian Todd Beamer, they fought back and brought the plane down before it could hit another major target.
 
These are signs of courage and strength within Western Civilization. It’s the same spirit that led a National Guardsman from West Virginia to volunteer for duty over Thanksgiving to protect our nation’s capital. She, too, was murdered by an Islamic supremacist.
 
 
 
The Grinches Are Back
 
Leftist grinches are back trying yet again to steal Christmas and Jesus.
 
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara stood with various religious leaders Tuesday to say how badly he feels about what is happening in our country. Was he referring to the massive fraud among the city’s Somali community? Was he referring to the corruption of Democrat politicians who allowed it?
 
No. Chief O'Hara was referring to efforts by federal immigration police to get criminals off the streets of Minneapolis, including pedophiles, rapists, and violent thugs.
 
He said that as a Catholic with Christmas fast approaching, he is reminded that Mary and Joseph “were considered outsiders and forced to stay in a barn.” I think the chief missed a few Sunday School lessons.
 
Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem because they were complying with a law to be counted in a census. They weren’t “outsiders.” They didn’t cross any borders illegally.
 
A decree went out to count everybody, and they obeyed that decree. They had to sleep in a barn because the city was filled with other people who were also obeying the law and had taken all the other places where someone could sleep.
 
This is all part of the Left’s ongoing effort to co-opt the Bible and turn Jesus into a socialist and open border activist.
 
Jesus told his followers to share with others and be kind to those in need. Jesus never urged the government to forcefully take money and resources from some people and give it to other people. No Bible verse comes within 1,000 miles of that Marxist idea.
 
There is nothing in the ministry of Jesus Christ that supports open borders. He says, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s.” Of all the things that should be rendered unto Caesar or government is the control of a nation’s borders.
 
If a government cannot stop people from violating their borders because Jesus would not want that, then every nation that accepted Christianity would soon be invaded and destroyed.
 
The people trying to turn Mary and Joseph into illegal aliens or Jesus into Karl Marx are also the same people who lecture us about the “separation of church and state” when we say, “God created marriage as the union of one man and one woman” or that all life is sacred and created in the image of God.
 
But now, all of a sudden, they have discovered Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
