New in PJ Media:
A 17-year-old in Peoria, Ariz., has been arrested over his plans to load up a drone with explosives and send it into the Phoenix Pride parade. He was hoping to “bomb 2024 Pride Parade and take over USA” and said that he had ordered bomb-making equipment. He was, however, discovered and stopped before he could carry out his attack. Still, you should have heard about a terror plot of this magnitude, yet the establishment media is maintaining near-radio silence about it.
Now, foiled attacks always get less attention than ones that are successful, and that’s why you likely haven’t heard about this particular plot, but there is another reason as well: the perpetrator was not a “white supremacist” gun nut who could be easily shoehorned into the left’s standard narrative about supposed “right-wing” violence.
Instead, Marvin Aneer Jalo was an Islamic jihadist, coming at a time when the left’s alliance with Islamic groups is fraught with tension over the Biden-Harris regime’s failure to betray Israel as thoroughly as Muslim leaders have been demanding they do, as well as over social issues, with many Muslims furious over the left’s unshakeable determination to embrace and normalize every fantasy, delusion and perversion that comes down the pike. So this was just the worst time for a Muslim to plot to blow up a Pride Parade, and that’s why you’re likely to hear about this plot only here.
AZFamily reported Wednesday that Jalo was arrested last Friday, the first day of the LGBTQEIEIO Pride Parade in Phoenix. Due to the gravity of his plans, he is “being charged as an adult with terrorism and conspiracy to commit terrorism, both class 2 felonies.” It seems that the precocious young fellow “started communicating in internet chat rooms in 2023 with people he described as extremists who were recruiting him.”
The “extremists” in question were jihadis from the Islamic State (ISIS), and Jalo was more than willing to be recruited. He “reportedly posted that they could ‘bomb 2024 Pride Parade and take over USA.’” The “take over USA” part was more than a little grandiose, but they certainly could have carried out the plot to bomb the Pride Parade. Jalo also “later said he was having supplies shipped to him to make explosives.”
On his phone, the aspiring jihad terrorist had “numerous photos of firearms and an instructional video depicting an ISIS fighter making the explosive Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP).” That’s another reason why you won’t hear much, if anything, about this plot. Up until Tim Walz and Adam Kinzinger discovered their love for guns, however inept they are at handling them, the left’s sole interest in firearms involved strategizing about how to circumvent the Second Amendment and take them away from law-abiding civilians. If Jalo hadn’t been a jihadi, leftist media organs would have given this story massive attention as yet another indication that Americans can’t be trusted with weapons.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Don’t believe that Fox is reformed. We saw what they were in 2020-21, when they, along w/ the rest of the establishment media, pretended that Biden’s election was legitimate. Since then, there has been a mushrooming of podcasters of all types, as well as a few more conservative TV channels for elderly people who still require the TV remote w/ the channel switching. The latter now has the choice of Newsmax, First TV, Salem News Network and in some cases, OANN. On the podcast front, there’s a whole bunch of people – the Daily Caller people, the Daily Wire people (Shapiro, Walsh, Knowles), Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Glenn Beck, Sarah Gonzales, Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Trish Regan, Alan Dershowitz and so on. Even for the Left, there are outlets like The Young Turks, Pod Save America: they too needn’t watch MSNBC or CNN
Point being there isn’t much Fox could do to get back its viewers, which I think it lost in 3 waves – some in 2016 when they fired Roger Ailes, then in 2020 when they called the election for Trump, and then 2 years later, when they fired Tucker Carlson. While Tucker has recently slipped a bit for revealing some anti-Semitic tendencies about himself, his exit from Fox also meant them hemorrhaging so many viewers that at one point, they were at par w/ MSNBC. No, the media landscape has totally changed, and as more of their older viewers die out, their viewership will drop precipitously, until the number of people watching them are similar to the number of people who still try to use telegrams (not Pavel Durov’s social media service)

Those who are only concerned about young people getting extreme ideas on the internet, should ask themselves, why did nihad a wad of the c.a.i.r. organization say he was “happy” about the slaughter of innocent young people, old people, babies and small children which hamas carried out a year ago.
And they should ask, why are all of the dead terrorists…like sinwar… who took part in that slaughter, being mourned and called ‘heroes’ by so many mozlums who live in the U.S.
It might open their eyes. At least a little bit.

“the first day of the LGBTQEIEIO Pride Parade in Phoenix.”
WTF, how many letters have they added ??? No wonder that Chapelle called them the alphabet people.
