Dope: And I think you don't know how things work in the real world.
Oh, yes I do. I've lived outside of the US, and watched politics there. There it can pretty much work like criminal gang. And it's educational. Conservative expats don't seem to understand how other countries work and get frightened, or are overly confident.
But since you've chosen to make it personal, now I will as well.
No, I wanted to see if you'd deny it for one.
You people love executive action, especially when it's Biden's DOJ rolling in heavy on some poor schlub who was caught praying outside of an abortion clinic. When it comes to real problems of US national security, all of a sudden you want to hide behind 'legislative action'.
This makes zilch sense. It's not illegal to pray outside an abortion clinic. It may be illegal to block entry into the clinic or harass people.
Oh no. National Security like Trump showing top secret documents to people with no clearance after he's no longer Pres? That one? How did we hide behind "legislative action" there? Mystery.
How about Homeland Threat Assessment 2024
Within the Public Safety and Security mission, we considered lethal threats in the Homeland, including terrorism and illegal drugs, as well as nation-state efforts to malignly influence US audiences, as the primary national security threats to our communities.Sep 14, 2023
TERRORISM
In 2024, we expect the threat of violence from violent extremists radicalized in the United States
will remain high but largely unchanged from the threat as described in the May 2023 National
Threat Advisory System (NTAS) bulletin. Over the past year, both domestic violent extremists
(DVEs) and homegrown violent extremists (HVEs) inspired by foreign terrorist organizations have
engaged in violence in reaction to sociopolitical events. These actors will continue to be inspired
and motivated by a mix of conspiracy theories; personalized grievances; and enduring racial,
ethnic, religious, and anti-government ideologies, often shared online.
• Since January 2022, DVEs have conducted three fatal attacks in the Homeland resulting in 21
deaths and multiple non-lethal attacks. US law enforcement has disrupted over a half dozen
other DVE plots. During the same period, only one attack was conducted by an individual
inspired by a foreign terrorist organization. The individual—who is awaiting trial—was likely
inspired by a spiritual mentor of al-Qa‘ida and Taliban narratives and allegedly wounded three
New York City Police Department officers on New Year’s Eve.
• Collectively, these incidents focused on a variety of targets, including law enforcement,
government, faith-based organizations, retail locations, ethnic and religious minorities,
healthcare infrastructure, transportation, and the energy sector. The most lethal attack this
year occurred in May in Allen, Texas, where a now-deceased attacker killed eight people at
a shopping mall. The attacker was fixated on mass violence and held views consistent with
racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist (RMVE) and involuntary celibate violent
extremist ideologies, judging from his writings and online activities.
• While violent extremists likely will continue using accessible, easy-to-use weapons for attacks,
they also will leverage online platforms and encrypted communications applications to share
novel tactics and techniques. Collaboration among violent extremists online likely will grow
as they strive to spread their views, recruit followers, and inspire attacks. Some RMVEs have
improved the quality of their video and magazine publications online, which could help them
inspire more like-minded individuals to commit attacks.
Foreign terrorist groups like al-Qa‘ida and ISIS are seeking to rebuild overseas, and they maintain
worldwide networks of supporters that could seek to target the Homeland. 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.
• Foreign terrorists continue to engage with supporters online to solicit funds, create and share
media, and encourage attacks while their affiliates in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East prioritize
local goals. Since the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, ISIS’s regional branch—ISIS‑Khorasan —
has garnered more prominence through a spate of high-casualty attacks overseas and
English‑language media releases that aim to globalize the group’s local grievances among
Western audiences. Individuals with terrorism connections are interested in using established
travel routes and permissive environments to facilitate access to the United States.
If we are going to talk National Security, we need to seriously talk about right wing groups.
One wonders why that is. Are you rooting for bad people and all the drugs they can smuggle across the border? Or perhaps you're one of those who is secretly happy that illegals can vote in federal elections in places like Arizona. If so, you've plenty of company inside the democrat party, which exists for its own sake and for nothing else. If that means the country suffers tragic consequences...well, they don't care.
No need to answer most of this as it doesn't apply, just your imagination, but you still think illegals can vote in federal elections in places like Arizona? You've had it explained to you very patiently
