“IRS Allows Hamas Non-Profit to Operate Even After FBI Bust” by Daniel Greenfield at Jihad Watch, June 21, 2026
 
“FBI director Kash Patel says U.S. foiled 640 planned terror attacks last year” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, March 22, 2026 

• Given the new leadership at FBI, numbers are surely on track this year to surpass these from last year.

 
“Biden’s DHS Top Dog Admits It: Yeah, Uh, Maybe We Shouldn’t Have Let In Just Anybody” by Robert Spencer at PJ Media, May 13, 2026 

• Also from a couple months ago, but worth noting. Despite former Secretary of DHS Alejandro Mayorkas’ belated acknowledgement here, they knew perfectly well at the time that the hordes of illegal aliens they were allowing into the U.S. would cause chaos across the country. [Editor’s Note: Not to mention the national security threats pouring across the border in untold numbers in the Biden years.  This article notes that Mayorkas previously admitted only 7 percent of the people brought here after the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster were U.S. citizens, 6 percent were lawful permanent residents, and 3 percent were Special Immigrant Visa holders who had helped the U.S.  The other 84 percent were … what, exactly? Nobody knows.]

 
“Vance: Iran Says Yes to IAEA Inspections. Iran: No, We Don’t.” by Robert Spencer at Front Page Magazine, June 23, 2026

• Concern here is that VP Vance is projecting a more positive image of talks with Iran than justified by the actual Iranian regime’s positions.

 
“Trump Vs. Israel” by Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page Magazine, June 23, 2026

• While some of President Trump’s comments are surely meant to confuse the Iranian regime, when he speaks of its negotiators as “very nice people” and criticizes Israel for defending itself against Hizballah, many of us are confused, too. Suggesting that Damascus ruler Ahmed al-Sharaa and his jihadi regime could be allowed to “take care of Hizballah” because Israel is killing too many people in Lebanon had many of us wondering who could possibly be advising him. And finally, the President’s consistent statements of approval for the HAMAS-sponsors in Qatar leave us seriously confused.

 
“U.S. Pledges to Help Provide the Islamic Republic of Iran With $300 Billion” by Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page Magazine, June 17, 2026 

• Even though the Iranian regime remains in power, has refused to even discuss its nuclear weapons or ballistic missile programs, and continues to threaten and attack shipping trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz – in addition to providing unswerving support to Hizballah and continuing the murderous executions of its own people – the U.S. has already pledged in the June 2026 Memorandum of Understanding to support provision of $300 billion in investment and reconstruction funding to that same regime.
