DHS Drops the Hammer: Mahmoud Khalil's Algerian Vacation Is About to Get Real

Last week, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals did what appellate courts occasionally remember to do: side with sanity and smack down a lower-court judge who thought he could play king of the immigration hill. The ruling was a clean win for the Trump administration in the long-running deportation saga of former Columbia University darling Mahmoud Khalil.

Khalil, the 30-year-old Syrian-born so-called Palestinian activist who's spent the better part of the last year lawyering his way out of consequences, got nabbed by ICE back in March. He cooled his heels in a Louisiana detention facility until June, when a New Jersey judge decided he was special and ordered him sprung. 

Turns out, that judge was swinging way above his pay grade. The appeals court politely informed him that no, he didn't have the authority to issue such a ruling. Shocking, I know, but judges have been misjudging their absolute power since there had been laws on the books.

Now comes the fun part. A top Department of Homeland Security official spilled the beans to NewsNation's Katie Pavlich: Khalil's about to get rearrested and shipped off to beautiful, sunny Algeria.

Mahmoud Khalil, the Syrian-born activist the Trump administration has sought to deport over pro-Palestinian demonstrations he helped organize in New York, will be retaken into custody and sent to the North African country of Algeria, a top official with the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.

Khalil and his attorneys have spent months playing constitutional whack-a-mole with the White House's efforts to remove the green card holder, who is of Palestinian heritage, insisting it would violate the Constitution. An appellate court decision last week, however, was widely seen as a victory for the Trump administration.

"It looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now," said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs.

"It's a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card. You are a guest in this country, act like it," McLaughlin said.

The Trump team has been saying since early last year that Khalil was providing support to Hamas and that he got creative with the truth on his residency paperwork. Khalil, never one to go quietly, has countersued the administration for $20 million, claiming false imprisonment and "malicious prosecution." Because nothing says "I'm being persecuted" like organizing campus chaos and then crying foul when the bill comes due.

Look, this isn't rocket science. You come here as a guest, whether on a visa or a green card, and decide the best use of your time is helping organize protests that cozy up to terrorist sympathizers and generally make life miserable for everyone else, don't be surprised when the door hits you in the butt on the way out. McLaughlin nailed it: act like a guest. Or don't. 

But Algeria is waiting, and it doesn't do campus tents and chants.

Algeria is latest Islamic country to ban niqab and Muslims go ballistic

Leaders of Algeria have lit the outrage fuse by banning the niqab, the full-face veil that covers up a multitude of skins, at work.

Prime Minister Ahmed Ouayhia, a guy who likes to know who he's talking to on the job, revealed the move in a letter to political leaders in the Muslim-majority country, where the men are men and the women might be under that cloth.

The niqab is not as popular in the country as the hijab, the cloth that covers the head and neck but not the face.

There are as many opinions about the niqab as there are women [or possibly men] who wear them. Some women believe it's just the government's way of having greater control of as many aspects of a woman's life as possible, much like the Democrats do in the U.S.  with all 227 genders [as they see it].

According to Arabic newspaper Asham Al-Awsat, on Islamic MP described the ban as a "war on Islam," intimating that heads may roll.

Al Qaeda leader "French Fried"

Dead-eye Dickwad, (aka Mokhtar Belmokhtar) the slithering one-eyed Al Qaeda leader, may have been killed by French frying airstrikes over Libya, Pentagon sources told Fox News. 

French fighter jets based on the carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Mediterranean are flying sorties over southern Libya and French fried Mokhtar, whose first name comes from his last name because his parents had no imagination.

The U.S. has targeted the one-eyed scumcrumpet twice in the past two years, but he was a slippery snake and cheated death.

"It looks like he is dead this time," said one US official. 

Let's hope he stays that way as he joins hands with the late, not so great Fidel Castro in hell.

The actual timing of the airstrike was not revealed as officials decided to take Donald Trump's lead on the secrecy thing he has with military and IRS matters.

Belmokhtar was the leader of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, where the men are men and the camels wear lipstick. In January 2013, Belmokhtar led a group of AQIM terrorists who kidnapped hundreds of workers at an Algerian gas plant, along with dozens of foreigners. After a 4-day standof, Algerian forces stormed the plant, killing 32 jihadists, but 7 hostages were also killed, including one American.

White House and Pentagon officials refused to comment on the strike as well as the French Ministry of Defense.

Belmokhtar's last words, according to one source was: "Ow, my eye, my eye."

Hillary's blatant hypocrisy

In her fight for women's health, the LGBT community and the presidency of the United States, Hillary Clinton has reached out to her Clinton Foundation donors, but faces an uphill battle in trying to get their support and win the job as POTUS.

Saudi Arabia, who had "donated" $50 million to the Clinton Foundation said they would not, under any circumstances, support women's rights or gay rights on any level. In fact, Saudi officials made it clear that they did not want to deal directly with Ms. Clinton as she is a woman and considered inferior to men, and the idea of any woman running a country is ludicrous as far as they're concerned.

The Saudis said they preferred to deal with her husband Bill, whose philandering is appreciated by the Islamic nation as they are permitted multiple wives and understand Bill's insatiable sexual appetite.

In fact, Saudi Arabia, like some other Islamic countries, kills homosexuals as prescribed in the Koran. Depending upon the circumstances, the penalty for committing a homosexual act can be public flogging (100 lashes for adultery)  or other strict Sharia sentence.

While Ms. Clinton eagerly accepts money from this homophobic, misogynist nation, she doesn't confront their beliefs nor advertise them to her constituents. 

The Saudis also tend to treat women worse than their camels. 

Saudi women cannot leave home without a male relative as an chaperone, and must be covered "modestly" to ensure they're not raped for indecency or beaten by the "Morality Police." 

Morality Police? What an oxymoron.

Algeria, another Islamic country, donated only $250,000 to $500,000 to the Clintons, but refuse to help gays and any gays caught in their country can get anywhere from 2 months to 2 years in the slammer. If one person is under 18, the other can get as many as 3 years and fined 10,000 dinars. That isn't a lot of money by our standa, about $124, but in Algeria, it's substantial. Human rights in Algeria kind of suck too, but Hillary doesn't care where the money comes from as long as it comes.

Other Islamic countries that have given to the Clintons that treat women with contempt and homosexuals with strong punishments are:

Brunie: donated $1 million to $5 million
Kuwait: donated $5 million to $10 million
Qatar: donated $5.8 million
Sultanate of Oman: donated $1 million to $5 million
United Arab Emirates: donated $11.5 million

Jamaica gave anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 which for Hillary is "chump change." She makes more than that in a 20-minute Wall Street speech. 

And while being gay isn't a crime in Jamaica, they imprison gays who are caught in the act up to 10 years. 

So while Hillary claims to support gay rights, the LGBT community, and women's rights, her lack of voice against countries who clearly oppose these rights speaks volumes.

The only thing Hillary Clinton clearly supports is Hillary Clinton.

Arab nations now want UN to make the Western Wall Islam's own

Nothing will easily stop the spread of this disease. People are dying from it all over the world. It sneaks up on you when you're on your way home from work, or from visiting your grand kids and suddenly some stranger tries to kill you with a knife or a meat cleaver. He cuts your arm, you bleed profusely, and just as he's ready to cut your throat, another citizen shoots the stranger dead.

The disease is called orthodox Islam; the place, for now, is Israel.

Some people in the West who want to divorce this ongoing terrorist behavior from the actual religion of Islam and refer to it as radical Islam. It's only radical if you're not a very religious Muslim, otherwise it's perfectly Islamic to kill the infidel.

Rumors were told of how Israel had its sights on the Temple Mount which is considered sacred by both Jews and Muslims. The rumors were false.

Another rumor was told to angry Palestinians of how a 13-year-old boy was executed by the Jews. But in spite of the fact that the boy stabbed another 13-year-old boy to death as he rode his bicycle, and then stabbed another adult and was captured, the kid is now in an Israeli hospital receiving treatment. Another false rumor debunked by visual proof.

But to add insult to injury, as they say, there is a plan by six Arab nations to rid the Jewish State's claim to its holiest site. On Wednesday, the United Nations' so-called cultural arm will vote on this claim that the site should go to the Muslims.

The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt all affirm "that the Buraq Plaza is an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque" and if passed by UN vote would make the Jewish Western Wall an Islamic domain on the Temple Mount.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded by this disgusting proposal and said "This is a clear endeavor to distort history, in order to erase the connection between the Jewish People and its holiest site, and to create a false reality."

The recent attacks by Palestinian scumcrumpet terrorists that were, in part, caused by the phony rumor mentioned above, that Israel tried to change the status quo at the Temple Mount. So the response by these Muslim nations is to do exactly what they are accusing Israel of doing! 

Historically, the Western Wall is what remains of a retaining wall that was part of the second Jewish temple. While Jews are not permitted to pray on the Temple Mount, by rabbinic decree, they are allowed to pray at the Western Wall, which is the closest they can venture to their most hallowed site.

But the religion of peace, as some dhimmies call it, does not want Jews anywhere near the site. In fact, the religion of peace doesn't want Jews anywhere.

The vote was originally slated for Tuesday in gay Paris, but UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova, a Bulgarian diplomat, tried to delay it saying she "deplores the recent proposals under discussion by the UNESCO Executive Board that could be seen to alter the status of the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list, and that could further incite tensions." She also said "The protection of cultural heritage should not be taken hostage."

As if orthodox Muslims need a legitimate reason to be angry or take hostages.

The draft decision, which refers to the Jewish State as "Israel, the Occupying Power," was circulated by the aforementioned Arab states because Palestine isn't a member of the UNESCO Executive Board. The five-page document has only one sentence crafted to push the Western Wall into Islam's purview.

Sneaky scumcrumpets, so it appears.

The rest of the document blames Israel for all the violence past and present and stresses an Islamic claim to everything on the Temple Mount and screw the Jews if they don't agree.

It's bad enough that Muhammad got bad information when he wrote the Koran (with the help of a scribe who wasn't an illiterate like him), and put Alexander the Great over a thousand years in the wrong era of history. But to steal Jewish history and claim it for their own is highway robbery.

Then again, Muhammad actually engaged in highway robbery of caravans in the desert. 

Now his followers want to do the same to the Jews with their holy sites.
