Even while he abandoned Americans to the Taliban, he’s freeing some of the worst of the worst from Guantanamo Bay.

The latest Iranian attacks on Americans forces use Soleimani’s death as a pretext, but the attacks began before the Iranian terror boss was killed, and have sharply escalated under Biden in response to his appeasement of the Islamic terror regime.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere were repeated Iran-backed rocket strikes against Americans in Iraq throughout the last year totaling an estimated 25 separate attacks under the Biden administration.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThese attacks have mostly gone unpunished.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Iran and the media eagerly link the latest wave of Iranian attacks on American forces to the death of General Soleimani, they conveniently forget that the U.S. took him out in response to multiple attacks such as these, including the 2019 rocket attack that killed an American contractor and wounded four American servicemen, and the attempt by Iranian proxies to recreate Benghazi with an attack on our embassy in Baghdad.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Trump administration decided to send a clear message to Iran after that. The Biden administration has sent an equally clear message of a very different kind to Tehran.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter two straight days of drone and rocket attacks, the Biden administration finally authorized strikes at several launch sites in Syria that had been used to target American forces.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"We have to take that threat very seriously and we always have the right of self defense,\" Pentagon spokesman John Kirby argued.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe right of self defense is a very low bar.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile the Trump administration made it clear that it would target Iran and its Shiite terror militias in retaliation, the Biden administration is still limiting its response to preemptive self-defense. This weak approach tells Iran that it can set the terms of engagement without having to fear the kind of unexpected escalation that led the Trump administration to take out Soleimani.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIranian rocket attacks on Americans have escalated even as the Biden administration has tried to resume negotiations with the terror state and provided it with indirect sanctions relief.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Iran has made much of the January attacks coinciding with the anniversary of Soleimani's death, the most intense attacks of the Biden administration actually took place around the summer anniversary of the nuclear deal. The more recent sixth round of negotiations over restoring the deal had closed out in June. While the Biden administration remained convinced that it was on the verge of an agreement, Iran responded with its most severe attacks.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn the first full week of July, there was an attack targeting Americans nearly every single day.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut Iran’s terror proxies did not even wait for the negotiations to break off. There were 7 attacks throughout June before the Iran-backed terror campaign really picked up in July with 7 attacks in just the early weeks. While the wave of attacks faded as the negotiations did not immediately resume, the Islamic terror state did make a special exception for one day in September.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn September 11, two drones launched an attack on U.S. forces at Erbil International Airport.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThen, as now, the Biden administration limited American military personnel to defensive preventative air strikes against the Shiite terror groups carrying out the attacks.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis strategy not only failed to stop the attacks, it has emboldened the Islamic terrorists.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile the Biden administration has provided Iran with billions in sanctions relief, a sufficient act of betrayal on its own, it seems to have little interest in expecting Iran to stop trying to kill Americans by either linking sanctions relief to an end to terror or refusing to negotiate under fire.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAmericans meanwhile have little idea of just how pervasive and constant the Iranian attacks are.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe media does report on major attacks, but buries the reports on the back page. While many people are aware of the Vienna negotiations, far fewer have any idea that American military personnel are still deployed in Iraq to meet the ISIS threat or that they’re under fire from Iran.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMany Americans think of our conflict with Iran as political, when it’s actually military.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe reporting on the latest wave of Iran-backed attacks further distorts the bigger picture by emphasizing claims that they are linked to the anniversary of Soleimani’s death as if the terrorists hadn’t been doing the same thing throughout the previous year. And as if Soleimani hadn’t been a key player in organizing and funding these attacks before he was taken out.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe most striking contrast between the high-level American diplomats in Vienna and the low-level diplomats in Iraq is that the former chat up the Iranians while the latter are targeted by them. Iranian-backed attacks have been aimed not only at our military, but our diplomats.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe State Department isn’t just selling out America, it’s selling out its own people who are facing rocket and drone attacks by the terror regime that it’s unsuccessfully trying to crawl into bed with.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd the Biden administration is selling out America and Americans.

The newly added definition, which takes effect immediately, doesn’t actually define extremism. Since extremism is inherently relative to someone else’s moderation, it can’t be legally defined. But the CEWG’s definition was cunningly written to target conservatives and protect leftists.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe majority of the definitions are already covered by existing military codes and laws against terrorism and treason. The only real addition here is the final definition of \"extremism activities\" which includes, \"advocating widespread unlawful discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy), gender identity, or sexual orientation.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe wording initially appears generic, but it’s actually written to provide military leaders with a wide latitude for targeting conservatives while exempting black nationalists like Garrison.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERacism is defined only in terms of “advocating discrimination” and only “unlawful discrimination”, unlike affirmative action or the discriminatory policies of the CEWG. This is in line with the leftist claim that racism can only be defined in terms of the power to discriminate and that therefore minority racists aren’t racist. Service members can be fans of black hate groups that promote racist hatred of white people because only advocacy for “unlawful discrimination” matters.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe new Department of Defense policy \"prohibits active participation in extremist activities and clearly defines what we mean by the term extremist activities,\" Pentagon spokesman John Kirby falsely claimed. It actually defines almost nothing and that enables it to outlaw nearly anything.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWould Christians who oppose gay marriage fall afoul of this policy? Is anyone who donates to a church that advocates against gay marriage now deemed an “active participant” in “extremism”?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBiden’s definition of active participation includes, “fundraising for, or making personal contributions through donations of any kind (including but not limited to the solicitation, collection, or payment of fees or dues) to, a group or organization that engages in extremist activities.” Potentially donating to a traditionally biblical church or synagogue would mean violating the Biden administration’s new guidelines against active participation in extremism.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe result would almost certainly be a federal case that the Biden administration would lose, but how many members of the military want to spend years of their lives fighting for their careers?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Biden administration’s leftist radicals are out to intimidate and they may well succeed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt goes without saying that counterterrorism researchers warning about the national security threat of Islamization would be punished, and that any service members who support or interact with a whole range of such organizations, including the \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/frontpagemag.com\/\"\u003EFreedom Center \u003C\/a\u003Eand Robert Spencer’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jihadwatch.org\/\"\u003EJihad Watch\u003C\/a\u003E are at risk. But so would a majority of service members who are at all conservative.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGarrison’s definition of extremism includes advocating for “discrimination” against “gender identity” which means that anyone opposed to teenage girls being forced to shower with men is now accused of being an extremist and that supporting virtually any conservative group effectively makes a member of the military into an “active participant” in “extremist activities”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe purge goes even further, reaching out to punish anyone who engages “in electronic and cyber activities regarding extremist activities, or groups that support extremist activities – including posting, liking, sharing, re-tweeting, or otherwise distributing content”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EA service member who “likes” a Facebook post from a conservative group is now an “active participant” in “extremist activities”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat about opposition to abortion?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Garrison definition of extremism includes advocating for discrimination based on ”sex (including pregnancy)”. The pregnancy part of this might be an effort to silence military critics of pregnant women serving in combat roles. That’s another example of how the Biden political purge is meant to silence legitimate objections to absurd woke policies like the Navy’s new maternity flight suits. But it could be used to suppress pro-life views and church membership.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe question of whether the Equal Rights Amendment’s “on account of sex” language would protect abortion and enshrine it into the Constitution has been at the heart of the debate over the amendment. State ERAs have already been used to define opposition to abortion as a \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/pennsylvania\/supreme-court\/1985\/509-pa-293-1.html\"\u003Eform of discrimination\u003C\/a\u003E on account of sex.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Countering Extremist Activity Working Group’s inclusion of ”sex (including pregnancy)” would potentially open the door to branding any member of the military who personally opposes abortion, donates to an anti-abortion group, or just a traditional church, or even likes a Facebook post by a pro-life group as an “active participant” in “extremism”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDefenders of Biden’s military purge will insist that these are unlikely scenarios. Right up until the point where they begin happening. There is nothing in the wording of these new definitions of “extremism” and “active participation” to prevent service members from being targeted because of their membership in a traditional church or their conservative religious views. And since the military has traditionally received more leeway in restricting religious expression, court battles over these issues should not be viewed as a foregone conclusion. Furthermore the existence of these codes create an intimidating effect that suppresses speech and religious expression.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EExactly as they were designed to do.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"One extremist is one too many,\" Bishop Garrison had contended. The new definition is meant to screen out everyone whom Garrison, a supporter of black supremacists like Ta-Nehisi Coates and of extremist agendas like the 1619 Project, disagrees with.

That statement is as un-American as it gets.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere will almost certainly be legal battles over this, but it will be on Congress and the next administration to make it clear to future military leaders that they must rescind or at least dramatically revise Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1325.06 if they want to lead.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd any presidential candidate or congressional member must commit to opposing any military leader who does not agree to remove DoDI 1325.06 and protect political and religious liberty.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe military leaders complicit in this disgrace are the products of Democrat and Republican administrations. If conservatives don’t firmly demand and hold presidential and congressional candidates accountable for undoing this, the radicals will take over the military the way that they control academia, the media, and the corporate spheres. That means ignoring the happy talk, the virtue signaling, the empty distractions, and demanding that the politicians actually do it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe military is the most conservative branch of the government.

This comes after Biden pulled anti-missile batteries out of several countries targeted by Iran: including Saudi Arabia.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis is unsurprising behavior from Biden, who, when addressing the American Iranian Council, had argued, \"We cannot simply dismiss Iran's security concerns.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESince taking office, the Biden administration has allowed the Tehran terrorists to benefit from billions of dollars in sanctions relief.

It expects billions more.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Democrats and the media used the Steele Dossier hoax to falsely claim that President Trump was in bed with Russia, Biden has extensive and deeply troubling ties to Iran. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter September 11, Biden \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/point\/2020\/09\/after-911-biden-wanted-send-200-million-islamic-daniel-greenfield\/\"\u003Eproposed\u003C\/a\u003E, \"Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.\" While the check never materialized, the Obama-Biden administration would send billions, not millions, to the Islamic terror state.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBefore then, Biden prepped for a presidential run by doing a tour of Iran lobby groups.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAt a 2003 Senate hearing, Biden suggested that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons because it felt “isolated”, and that its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction had nothing to do with Islam.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDuring the 2008 election, Biden wanted to reopen a US diplomatic presence in Tehran. He proposed cutting off Radio Liberty broadcasts that provided a voice for Iranian dissidents. And behind the scenes,he tapped into the Iran Lobby’s fundraising apparatus, raising tens of thousands, which, by the 2020 election had turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERight before the election, Biden released his list of fundraising bundlers. In an exclusive story, Front Page Magazine’s investigation revealed \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/2020\/11\/iran-cant-wait-biden-daniel-greenfield\/\"\u003Ethat they included\u003C\/a\u003E Jamal Abdi, the executive director of NIAC Action.

AP has called the race for Joe Biden”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBiden's pick for Secretary of State, Tony Blinken was, like his future boss, an opponent of designating the IRGC a terrorist group, cautioning, “If there's a formal designation as a terrorist organization, I think there is going to be blowback.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe IRGC got its dream team in Washington D.C. and now it’s taking advantage of it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBiden had denied the IRGC’s terrorist operations arguing that, “the vote to declare the Qods Force and the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization was not a view that could be established without question.” It’s not a coincidence that the same terrorist group he had intervened to protect helped his campaign in the 2020 election with a false flag operation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe same media that pushed the Russiagate hoax has shown no interest in Biden’s ties to Iran, the impact of those ties on his pro-Iran policies, or the IRGC attempts to help his campaign.
