Trump Prepares For Dinner With President Xi By Ordering Servants To Slaughter The Fattened Cat

In Legacy Media Win, Trump-Appointed Judge Sides With CNN, MS NOW, and Politico to Temporarily Reinstate White House Passes

The Daily Signal - Thu, 09/24/2026 - 09:45

A Trump-appointed judge imposed a temporary restraining order on the White House to restore press credentials for reporters at CNN, MS NOW, and Politico in an order Thursday morning.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly of the District of Columbia found that President Donald Trump’s administration likely violated the due process rights of the reporters largely because they did not receive notice before the credentials were revoked.

The question before the court was not a First Amendment matter, but rather whether news outlets that already had a pass could lose it without due process, largely because they did not receive notice beforehand.

“This Temporary Restraining Order shall remain in effect for fourteen days, and the Court will set a schedule for expedited briefing on a motion for a preliminary injunction during that time. The Court will then be able to consider such a motion with additional time and on a fuller record,” the judge wrote.

Trump announced in a Sept. 18 Truth Social post that he was “banning” the three news outlets from the White House for “FAKE NEWS” and what he called “FICTION and LIES.”

Kelly later wrote, “It is further ordered that Defendants (except for President Trump) and their agents, representatives, and all persons or entities acting in concert with them shall immediately return, reinstate, and restore the White House ‘hard pass’ press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked on or about September 18, 2026, until further Order of the Court or the expiration of this Temporary Restraining Order.”

Kelly also ruled in November 2018 that the White House did not provide due process in revoking then-CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s White House pass.

During the Biden administration, the White House purged 442 White House hard passes under new press credential rules. The purge was aimed at Cameroonian journalist Simon Ateba.

Ateba sued to restore his pass. In that case, D.C. District Judge John Bates ruled in favor of the Biden White House, finding that the administration’s rules were uniform and constitutional. Primarily, the rule applied to news outlets that did not have press passes for Capitol Hill, which at the time included the Daily Signal.

Always Watching: Congress Begins Investigating Flock Cameras

The Daily Signal - Thu, 09/24/2026 - 09:25

As Americans grow increasingly concerned about privately owned surveillance cameras, powered by artificial intelligence, spreading across the country by the thousands, senators are investigating whether they want to act. While the cameras were initially meant to provide safety, there are concerns from both parties that surveillance has surpassed safety.

“This hearing is about a simple thing. It’s trying to get to the bottom of what is going on with the expanding surveillance network that appears to be going coast-to-coast in this country,” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on crime and counterterrorism, said.

“I have in mind the hundreds of thousands of individual cameras all linked to the cloud, all powered by AI that seem to be spreading all across the country,” Hawley said, opening the subcommittee’s Wednesday hearing.

“The question is: Where are all of these images going? Who’s using them? What are the privacy protections for them? How do we make sure that this kind of surveillance is consistent with the Constitution of the United States?” he continued.

The Big Name in the Game: Flock

There are roughly 120,000 Flock Safety cameras operating throughout the country in every state except Alaska. They take over 20 billion images every month and are stored in and accessible through the cloud. This doesn’t account for the other major companies with similar operations: Axon, Motorola Solutions, and Verkada. Hawley invited the CEOs of each of these companies to testify before his subcommittee to explain their operations, but they all declined to appear.

The Flock CEO, Garrett Langley, did respond to Hawley’s request via a letter and answered some of the senators’ questions.

“If they feel like if they want to correct the record on something, great. We’d love to hear from them,” Hawley told reporters after the hearing. “I appreciate the Flock CEO responding to my inquiries in part. But the truth is … he gave us only a few pieces of documentation, all stuff that’s already public. I really think that we need to know more, and I think the public deserves to know,” he continued.

“They are refusing to be accountable,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told reporters when asked about the CEOs refusing to appear.

“I think there’s overwhelming evidence that we need more accountability; we need safeguards, including possibly a warrant requirement for the use of these kinds of surveillance systems,” he continued.

A Bipartisan Solution Might Be Possible

A big point during the hearing was the difference between traditional license plate readers, used by law enforcement for years, and the AI-powered surveillance cameras that can be accessed by the public.

“There’s a big difference between traditional law enforcement tools like license plate readers and what this is,” Hawley told the Daily Signal.

“In Missouri, we’ve been using license plate readers forever. Our cops do it. I think that’s very valuable. But that’s really different than the technology we’re talking about today, and I think that’s something that I’ve only recently come to appreciate, and I bet most folks are just getting up to speed on. Citizens know, though. They know when they’re being tracked. They don’t want to be tracked and treated like criminals,” he continued.

There are voters who are onboard with the cameras being used for safety to target criminals and track child predators, but they might not understand the risks that come with such surveillance.

One of the hearing witnesses, Lindsey Isaacs, was wrongfully accused of murder based solely on unsubstantiated Flock camera footage. Isaacs spent 13 days in jail, including 86 hours in solitary confinement, before being released.

Both parties have concerns about surveillance. Conservatives are concerned about their constitutional right to liberty. Democrats fear it could be used to target women crossing state lines to receive an abortion or help immigration officers track illegal immigrants.

“I think there are some clear potential solutions that would have bipartisan support,” Blumenthal told the Daily Signal.

“I think there’s a need for bipartisan cooperation here, and I think there are some clear solutions, for example, setting time periods for data retention. Prohibiting or safeguarding against a national database. There are some guidelines where I know Sen. Hawley and I have common ground, and I think other Republicans and Democrats would too,” he concluded.

Marxism and Islamism Are Making Our System Blink Red—and Green

The Daily Signal - Thu, 09/24/2026 - 09:05

By the summer of 2001, “The system was blinking red” from threats related to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. These included known planning and training for hijacking airplanes. That is the testimony that then-CIA Director George Tenet told the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. The 9/11 Commission preserved Tenet’s statement in its final report.

Twenty-five years after the 9/11 U.S. terrorist attacks, we must once again recognize the red warning signs of threats to our republic, from without and within. We also need to see how these threats relate, like red dots that we must connect.

The 9/11 Commission concluded that the U.S. failed to connect the dots prior to 9/11. This time, the dots are red and green—Marxist and Islamist. The tactics are different, but the plotters have revealed them. Americans who want to preserve our republic just have to be willing to look, listen, and act.

Red dot No. 1 is the Chinese Communist Party. Led by General Secretary Xi Jinping, the CCP has deployed dozens of tactics to weaken the U.S. from the inside to gain its own global dominance.

Examples of this behavior include: cybersecurity attacks; spy balloons; political espionage; Chinese police operations in U.S. cities; Confucius Institutes on our college campuses; purchasing U.S. property, including agricultural land near U.S. military bases and other critical infrastructure; sending pre-cursor ingredients to Mexico to produce fentanyl; military espionage; intellectual property theft; importing agroterrorism weapons into the U.S.; exploiting birthplace U.S. citizenship; dumping cheap Chinese technology into our markets that consistently come with connection to Beijing via the internet; and addicting America’s youth to TikTok propaganda while providing very different content to Chinese youth in China.

All of these tactics are in addition to the artificial intelligence, economic, energy, international organization, maritime, and military investments and influence that the CCP has waged around the world to bring other nations closer to China and away from the U.S.   

The second red dot is green. It represents the subtle, initially nonviolent spread of political Islam through Western institutions. We can call this process Islamification. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, foretold the steps over two decades ago.

CIA contractor psychologist James Mitchell interrogated Mohammed after his 2003 capture and recounted their conversations in his 2016 book, “Enhanced Interrogation.” Mohammed told Mitchell that no more catastrophic attacks were needed. The more practical path, he explained, was immigration combined with higher birth rates among Muslims.

Mohammed prophesied that jihadi-minded individuals would enter the U.S., use the welfare system, spread their message, and “wrap themselves in America’s rights and laws” for protection. They would gradually increase acceptance of Sharia. Once strong enough, they would rise up and impose it by force from within. Mohammed’s reported punchline was “Eventually, America will expose her neck to us for slaughter.”

It is hard not to recall another prophetic utterance from Sept. 9, 2025, when Charlie Kirk warned on X the day before his assassination, “Islam is the sword the Left is using to slit the throat of America.”

We have indeed witnessed an explosion in the number of Muslim immigrants—and their political power—in the U.S. and Western European countries over the past 25 years.

In the U.S., the net increase of aliens from the Muslim world doubled from 1.7 million in 2001 to 3.4 million in 2024, according to the Center for immigration Studies. We have likewise seen Muslim enclaves form in Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, and Texas, where assimilation to support American principles is not just lacking, but is actually being spurned. An increasing number of politicians from those enclaves are winning political races as they express their opposition to the American principles and systems from which they generously benefited. Examples include Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani; Dearborn, Michigan, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud; and Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Tlaib stated at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit that “as an American, this city taught me … that the political structures that I have to work in, that we all are surrounded by, was built on slavery and genocide and rape and oppression.”

In 2020, Omar said, “We must recognize that these systems of oppression are linked. As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality. So we cannot stop at [the criminal justice system]. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.”

In Texas, Muslim enclaves are seeking to grow into Muslim-only cities, application of Islamic law, Sharia courts, Muslim-only prayer rooms in schools, and more.  

Just as Mohammed warned about welfare use, billions of dollars in welfare fraud have been exposed in Somali Muslim communities in Minnesota and Maine, among other states and nationalities. But anyone who raises concerns about this is immediately labeled “Islamophobic.” We are supposed to remain quiet and just accept what is happening as it undermines what makes our country America. Just keep exposing our neck.

No. We have now witnessed enough of these foretold tactics by Mohammed and other Islamic leaders. It is time to halt and reverse them.

The third red dot represents those who seek to achieve a “New World Order” and the downfall of the U.S. as a superpower. They are the elite globalists and international organizations. The most powerful actors sit at the intersection of these globalist institutions.

George Soros and his Open Society Foundations have funded civil society groups, media, legal initiatives, and political movements in dozens of countries for decades. In the U.S., he has funded politicians and prosecutors who have carried out open border and pro-crime policies, resulting in weakened American sovereignty and increased civil disorder.

In a 2016 leaked memo focusing on Open Society Foundations’ International Migration Initiative, Open Society Foundations staff telegraphed the weaponization of mass migration to the U.S. They wrote that Europe’s refugee crisis should be accepted by immigration policymakers as a “new normal” and that “the current refugee crisis is creating space to reconsider the governance of migration and the international refugee regime.” They added, “The refugee crisis is opening new opportunities” for “coordination and collaboration” with other wealthy donors.

The Open Society Foundations memo is consistent with the global migration goals of the International Organization for Migration, which ties its mass migration agenda to each of the 17 goals in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The International Organization for Migration wrote in its 2018 Guide for Practitioners that “facilitating, not restricting, migration is the priority.”  

Another entity in this global cabal is the World Economic Forum, which works with the U.N. toward the Sustainable Development Goals. This week at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, the World Economic Forum is hosting Sustainable Development Impact Meetings. The World Economic Forum’s webpage states that the global organization “Connect[s] leaders to make sense of global challenges and move the world forward together.” World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab touts in his World Economic Forum bio that he introduced ideas such as corporate global citizenship and stakeholder capitalism (as opposed to the legal U.S. framework of shareholder capitalism).

It is no coincidence, then, that after Schwab stepped down as World Economic Forum chair, he was followed by Larry Fink as World Economic Forum co-chair. Fink is the chairman and CEO of BlackRock who leveraged the company’s multitrillion-dollar global portfolio to compel companies to comply with an aggressive climate change and diversity agenda in their operations. Of note, BlackRock has extensive operations in China. The Chinese Communist Party even invited BlackRock to be the first foreign company to sell mutual fund investments to Chinese investors. Also of note, Fink serves on the Advisory Board of Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.

The final anti-American dot to identify is also red, namely domestic socialists, who, lest we forget, are also Marxists. While the radical Left has been marching through and capturing American institutions for decades, nowhere have they been more successful than in our public schools. Socialist indoctrination in our schools has taken hold to the point that two generations of young Americans now support socialism and view America and capitalism as racist, oppressive regimes that must be replaced.

The Democratic Socialists of America, which includes Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Tlaib, and Mamdani—and to which Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., pledges support even if not an official member—is having its moment, running more political candidates in state and federal elections and winning.

And while Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed claims he is not a democratic socialist, his policy positions of “Medicare for All,” a wealth tax, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and others align with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, both of whom endorsed El-Sayed.

These few named political allies are just one example of the red-green (Marxist-Islamist) alliance that has taken root in the U.S. According to Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez, the groups in these allied components share a common enemy in the U.S., the West, and Western institutions, even if their long-term visions differ. Members in these groups routinely express hatred for America and seek to tear down our institutions and sow violence to fundamentally transform America.

A key takeaway from the 9/11 Commission was the need to connect the dots that threaten the U.S. But to connect the dots, we must first identify them. Currently, those dots are the CCP, the agents of Islamification, globalist elites, and socialists. For an easy memory tool: CIGS seek to tear down America, its institutions, sovereignty, safety, capitalist economy, and constitutional form of government.

Those who love America—its freedoms, principles, economic opportunities, people, place, and culture—and who wish to preserve it must first identify our nation’s enemies. Only then can we work to defeat them and save our great nation.
