The Barbary states declared that the
Quran gave them the right to seize Christian ships and enslave their crews.
And the Pasha of Tripoli demanded tribute and declared war on America in 1801
Jefferson refused to pay. He ordered the Marines and the fleet to Tripoli instead.
That's why the Marine Corps hymn still sings
"…to the shores of Tripoli." We didn't negotiate with jihad. We ended it with cannon fire and steel.
America's first war as a free nation was fought against Islamic piracy and slavery.

@RepJayapal Were you outraged when they stormed Roger Stone’s home, Mar- A-Lago? Yea Karma is in the wings…..

No one campaigning for the senate simply disappears for 2 weeks before the election because of the flu.

[CM @mc_gill13]

@mariathies12 She made a poor life choice.

[Roger Stone @RogerJStoneJr]

CNN upset when the feds raid Ilhan Omar's house at 6 am. Not so much when the FBI perp-walked my hearing impaired wife out of our house before dawn.

In fact, they were there to broadcast it LIVE

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

There were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Just a reminder…

-56 of them were Christian
-0 of them were Muslim

[CRIXUS @CRIXUSwasHERE]

CORRECT!!👇😐

[Mrs B @attackdogX]

So, umm, what are we gonna do about the Constitutional crisis that erupts if it’s shown that Ilhan Omar was never a U.S. citizen?

She’s voted on thousands of bills in Congress.

This is just another reason why foreigners have no business being in Congress, especially when they are from known hostile, scammy pirate regions like Somalia.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I'm a Somali girl. I miss my country. I dream of living in Somalia again."

Let's finally fulfill her dreams

[🇺🇸Steve2A🇺🇸God🇺🇸Family🇺🇸Country🇺🇸 @lakemonstercl1]

Yes, Mr. President. The MSM doesn’t just spread fake news, they deliberately bury the true news that exposes their Democrat masters. Americans see right through it. 🇺🇸

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This American used to be a liberal and was shocked by what she was told in college about Muslims

“I went to college where a social work professor asked our class, what are you doing on an everyday basis to combat racism and prejudice and bigotry? So I raised my hand as a really proud, liberal, naive young woman. I raised my hand so proud and I said, well, when I go to the airport, I always go out of my way to be really nice and smile at Middle Eastern men. because I assume that people have been really mean to them at the airport, so I always go out of my way to smile at them.

And she looked at me in front of the entire class and said, never do that again, because in their culture, smiling at a man means that you're a prostitute, so never do that again”

“I was stunned into silence. And I don't know who needs to hear this today, but sympathy toward an ideology that is openly hostile, brutally oppressive and objectifying to women is not empathy. It's actually what I would call Western privilege. You have the privilege of extending sympathy to men who buy into this radical ideology because you have never been a Middle Eastern woman subject to being under it. How you look at them will never change how they look at you”

For those that didn’t know this, it’s real. In Muslim culture a woman smiling at a man that is not her husband is considered haram (forbidden) and strongly prohibited

Muslims say a woman uncovering her face and smiling at a man can lead to evil, here’s the actual reasoning

“It is haraam for a woman to uncover her face or to smile at a non-mahram man, because of the evil to which that may lead.”

Our cultures are not equal. Islam is not compatible with Western Civilization

[Elephant Signal 🐘🇺🇸 @ElephantSignal]

🚨 BOOM:

President Trump pushed to give all of our troops a well-deserved 7% pay raise, but House Democrats stepped in with "concerns" to slow it down!

Our brave service members put everything on the line to keep America safe, yet Washington politicians keep playing games with their livelihoods. It's time to put our military personnel first!

ALWAYS STAND WITH OUR HEROES! 🇺🇸

Do you support a 7% pay raise for our military troops?

YES or NO?

[Deon Joseph @ofcrdeonjoseph]

So the investigation of Ilhan Omar began under Biden. A left leaning judge in DC actually signed the search warrant for the raid on her house. So Biden started it, Trump is finishing it and a judge saw the allegations and felt it was enough to move forward. So everyone can chill. Keep the popcorn a poppin’!

[Randy Quaid @RandyRRQuaid]

As a Native Texan, I agree with this: electing a Socialist anywhere is un-American, especially in Texas.
