New in PJ Media:
One of the many things that drove the left absolutely crazy during Donald Trump’s first term as president was his “Muslim Ban,” which the establishment media represented as a racist, “Islamophobic” effort to keep poor, harmless, defenseless, weeping Muslim grandmothers out of the country. The “Muslim Ban” was so notorious that on the first day that Old Joe Biden started pretending to be president, he repealed it, to the enthusiastic applause of the left both domestically and internationally. The whole controversy over this was hysterical, as it never really was a “Muslim Ban” in the first place, and now watch for more hysteria: Trump is bringing it back.
Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies reported in the New York Post Thursday that Trump “plans to resuscitate what he called his ‘famous Travel Ban’ for a second term,” and that’s a good thing, as the “Muslim Ban,” or “Travel Ban,” or whatever you want to call it was always a common-sense security measure, and Lord knows, we sure could use a few of those these days.
Bensman notes that the last version of this ban prohibited immigration from thirteen countries: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, Burma, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania. The keen-eyed reader will notice that North Korea, Burma, and Tanzania aren’t Muslim countries at all, and that Eritrea and Nigeria are about evenly divided between Muslims and Christians, and that Kyrgyzstan, while about ninety percent Muslim, is a former Soviet republic in which most of the Muslims are highly secularized and hardly interested in waging jihad.
What these thirteen countries had in common was that they either would not or could not provide adequate information about those people who wanted to enter the United States. They could have been criminals, they could have been terrorists, they could have been psychopaths, and we never would have known it. That lack of information did not, however, trouble Old Joe Biden and his henchmen, who were intent on the flooding the country with as many migrants as possible, thereby weakening national unity, diluting the nation’s cultural character, and gaining a solid voting base for the Democrats. For the socialist internationalist Democrats, there was no downside.
For Americans, however, there was. Bensman points out that “not long before President Donald Trump, in his first term, issued his so-called ‘travel ban’ on 13 countries, Somalia-born Abdul Razak Ali Artan drove a Honda Civic into a crowd of fellow Ohio State University students and got out slashing with a butcher knife, injuring 11. Campus police shot the young jihadist refugee to death, ending the Nov. 28, 2016 attack.” Bensman goes on to explain that Artan never would have been able to harm even a single American if Trump’s travel ban had been in place.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The Ohio State tragedy was as bad as it was because the feds let in Muzzies intent on jihad and the University’s regulations prohibit concealed carry on campus, even with a valid Ohio CC permit. If a person arrives on campus with a firearm, he is supposed to lock it in the trunk of his car. What they have done is create a “Gun-Free School Zone” where anyone with a chef’s knife (not a “butcher knife” as the MSM loves to call it) or a firearm, can wreak havoc among the unarmed populace. These mass stabbing incidents would be a lot worse if the perpetrators had the equivalent of Army basic training in knife fighting and a combat or hunting knife. And would the Muzzie intent on jihad be dissuaded by the regulations from bringing a firearm on campus? Of course not!
By the way, the traditional 3 types of “butcher knives” are the cimeter, the breaking knife, and the cleaver, none of which is well suited for an offensive mass knife attack where the goal is to kill.

In foreign nations where Muslims reside they use knives, machete, cleavers or just about any knives they can conceal before the attack so they can get close to a target. Islam’s goal is to create a one world caliphate ie: the world is all Islamic. Oct.7th, 2023 was the start of global warfare on citizens and the Jewish people.
somehistory says
bill clinton had some kind of lottery list where people with certain names could enter the country.
From somalia….one of those nations unable and/or unwilling, to provide information on its citizens who wan to leave for the U.S….the name Omar was acceptable.
So, a mozlum from somalia named Elmi wanted to come to the States. He was a **known** terrorists.
al shabab has been very busy in that country for some long time. This mozlum terrorist found out that if his name was Omar, he could come and bring his family to the States.
Background checks? Ha.
So, the terrorist changed his name and voila! he and his family, including a daughter by the name of Ilhan, came here.
That’s all they have to do….commit fraud and tell other lies, and they can come in.
It’s only reasonable to make an attempt to keep terrorists and those who commit fraud out of the country.

Too bad it wasn’t actually a muslim ban. What functioning country wants to import 7th century backwardness and violence? Politicians’ hatred of their own citizens is criminal and should be prosecuted under the hate crimes laws they pushed.
somehistory says
Agreed. When this nation was in its infancy, Catholic priests were stopped at the borders and not allowed in. That changed, of course.
But the Founders also knew of the dangers in allowing in mozlums, and instead, had to fight them, Marines wearing leather on the necks as a safeguard.
Somewhere along the way, after the ’50’s, they have been allowed to invade, as if they are somehow very different from those who were fighting and killing, enslaving and threatening.
Today’s mozlums follow the same game plan as their ancestors….fight until everyone bows to their evil demon beast.
A nation of Laws should be allowed to enforce whatever laws will protect the citizens the best. A mozlum ban would certainly be a good choice as they only want to “steal, kill and destroy.”
Hoi Polloi says
Then there’s allowing the oath of office on their book which calls for our slaughter.
skeptiker says
Es ist nur vernünftig, was die Trump Regierung getan hat. Wer sein Land, seine Kultur, seine Mitbürger und sich selbst liebt, wird darauf achten, dass nicht Menschen in sein Land kommen, die eine Gefahr für o.g. darstellen. Für Alle die Tür sperrangelweit offen zu halten, ist idiotisch und naiv.

Trump Never Imposed a ‘Muslim Ban,’ and It’s Coming Back

True on both counts, and good to hear.
Yes–this could and *should*–go further, but it is far better than what any recent president has tried to do, so I applaud it.

Anyone who comes to the West seeking to overthrow and replace, needs to be banned from the West! And those born here, need to be put back into their boxes of ignorance! The powers and the forces of Globalism, Marxism, and Islam are 99.9% of all our problems in the world! And especially in the West! These ‘rulers’ are simply Crime Bosses running criminal syndicates! Every shady or crook operation, in ALL our world can be linked to these three systems: the System of the Beasts!
