Former translator arrested by FBI

A former FBI translator from Virginia was arrested on charges of obstructing a federal investigation over his connection to a terror suspect.

The indictment against Abdirizak Wehelie, [aka Abe Willie] 66, was unsealed May 6, 2019.

Wehelie worked as a translator for the FBI from 2012 to 2015. In December 2012, an Al-Shabaab connected suspect who was being targeted by the FBI called Wehelie and left him a voicemail and even used his name, according to court documents.

The call was monitored as per a court order. and the following day, Wehelie was given the job of translating the call. Little did he know the FBI was on to him.

In the translation, instead of identifying himself as did the man on the phone, Wehelie marked himself down as an “unidentified male.”

When the FBI questioned Wehelie about the translation in 2016, he admitted that he had failed to identify himself and told the FBI he never had a real conversation with the terror suspect and claimed he didn't know the guy.

But a subsequent FBI investigation found the Wehelie and the suspect had about 180 phone contacts between 2010 and 2017. He was practically dating the guy, but didn't really date him because under sharia law, he would be tossed off a high place to his death if they thought he was gay.

If convicted, Wehelie faces only 25 years in prison and given a Koran, a prayer mat, and halal food.

He was released on an unsecured $20,000 bail bond (meaning that only if he jumps bail is he obligated to pay). If he doesn't jump bail that would be incredible.

But get this: Wehelie’s son Yusuf is currently serving a 10-year prison term for transporting weapons. Yusuf is said to have told an undercover informant that he wanted to carry out a shooting attack at a military recruitment center in the name of ISIS. In 2016, he also reportedly told undercover agents he wanted to join ISIS in Libya so that he could "behead dudes for Allah."

In 2010, Yusuf and another son, Yahya, were prevented from returning to the U.S. because they were on a no-fly list. The "jihadi bros" were detained in Cairo after a trip to Yemen. That designation was eventually changed and the brothers were allowed back into the U.S. because Obama was president.

It's unfortunate that the U.S. has to hire translators who could very easily be working against our people. But that's the way the cookie crumbles and the heads roll.

Trump good for more airstrikes on al-Shabaab in Somalia

It seems like President Trump is taking a page out of the Koran and killing them wherever he finds them; the Islamists, that is.

Trump is putting on the pressure with more airstrikes in Somalia going after al-Shabaab, Al Qaeda's third largest affiliate, the Pentagon announced.

Thus ends the Obama-era errors with its restrictions, attack announcements and rules of engagement that were ridiculously stupid in war and cost us lives.

Elections have consequences, Obama said, and for once, he was correct.

General Thomas Waldhauser, head of U.S. Africa Command, told the media on Friday that he requested the authority to conduct more strikes against al-Shabaab in Somalia--the Obama hashtag signs weren't working.

"It's very important and very helpful for us to have little more flexibility, a little bit more timeliness in terms of decision-making process and it'll allow us to give, in fact, counter ISIS or, in our case in Somalia, al-Shabaab," he said.

A Somali airliner was bombed by al-Shabaab last year using a laptop computer. This is one reason why the Department of Homeland Security banned electronics larger than cell phones from flights entering the US from some, not all (unfortunately) majority-Muslim nations.

Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters: "The President has approved a Department of Defense proposal to provide additional precision fires in support of African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and Somali security forces operations to defeat al-Shabaab in Somalia. This authority is consistent with our approach of developing capable Somali security forces and supporting regional partners in their efforts to combat al-Shabaab."

"The additional support provided by this authority will help deny al-Shabaab safe havens from which it could attack U.S. citizens or U.S. interests in the region," Davis said.

There has been some success in recapturing territory from al-Shabaab by Somali and African Union forces.

Death by the dozen

Getting ready to "Badaahbing!"

No less than twelve scumcrumpets affiliated with Al-Shabaab were killed and sent on their way to what they see as their whorehouse in the sky as 72 virgin goats lined up 

Airstrikes in Somalia on Monday and Tuesday. This group is similar in their religious beliefs as the Islamic State, and similar too in how they deal with opposing religious viewpoints.

Navy Captain Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said the targeted militants posed a serious and imminent threat to U.S. personnel assisting the Somali government forces north of Kismayo in southern Somalia.

President Barack Obama has taken full credit for the courageous part of the attack, although he wasn't there.

GOP warns Obama not to screw around with the climate

The Islamic State is growing in leaps and beheadings while Democrats and President Obama plan to fight the scourge of terrorism at next week's international summit in Paris on global climate. This is their number one priority in spite of the rest of the country. 

"Uhh"

The so-called commander-in-chief wants to push for a global climate deal as he and other world leaders charge ahead at the two-week U.N. conference starting Monday. Since the balderdash will be in Paris, extra security on heightened alert will finally be on alert and in greater number after the fact of the attack that killed 130 and wounded several hundred more.

The GOP has warned our "U.S. Constitutional Circumventer" that if he tries to do any circumventing this time, they will block vital funding. Why they haven't blocked vital funding for other illegal actions Barry has taken is a mystery and the biggest reason Donald Trump is leading in the polls. People are fed up with politicians.

"I'm doing tremendous in the polls," Donald said recently. "Tremendous, Bill. Tremendous."

"What a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be when the world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children," President Obama hallucinated.

What planet is Obama living on? While his failure to contain ISIS, ISIL, Al- Qaeda, Al Nusra and Al-Shabaab grows, we have a president doing an "Al Gore." Americans aren't as concerned about cutting emissions and going green as they used to be, before all the killing escalated, now their biggest concern is terrorism.

I can hear Obama liberals saying: "You think you can scare us by burning pilots, killing nuns and priests, destroying churches, killing Jews and Christians, throwing gays and lesbians off tall buildings in a single bound, destroying Christian religious artifacts, attacking us at malls while we shop? 

You can't scare us one bit . . . we recycle, dammit.

Anyone who equates the dangers in climate change with the dangers in radical Islamic terrorism isn't a serious person to even waste your time discussing the situation.

Right now, the nation and Congress is divided over Obama's plans for cutting emissions. Doing so will seriously hurt the economy and particularly hurt the poorest of us as the cost of transporting goods will make prices climb. It will destroy many jobs in the coal industry, and industry that is already suffering from the myriad regulations it must comply with.

If Obama tries to draw an international agreement without seeking Senate approval, the GOP plans to stop him. Obama's goal of $3 billion for the Green Climate Fund, including $500 million in the near future to help developing nations with climate change (which, if you're a betting person would be wise to put your money on Islamic countries), would be withheld by the Senate. No vote, no money, lawmakers are telling the "Annoying One."

"Without Senate approval, there will be no money--period," Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said at last week's hearing. He stressed that any legally binding agreements must come before the Senate for a vote--something Obama would like to circumvent.

One can anticipate Obama's snide public reaction: "These folks, these Republicans, uhh, don't want clean air for, uhh,  poor folks. Maybe they're afraid of poor folks because they uhh, tend to see through those Republicans and how all they want is to bomb other folks and want to see me fail."

No, Mr. President, we don't want to see you fail. We want to see you go. And we can hardly wait.

Eric Holder Believes Al Shabaab Is No Big Deal

Eric Holder doesn't believe that Al Shabaab is a threat to the United States. But then again, Eric Holder thought that giving weapons to the Mexican drug cartel wouldn't be a threat to US Border agents. Eric Holder is a politically motivated lackey for the Obama administration. This is the same Eric Holder who last year was called upon by the House Judiciary Committee to hand over documents and evidence relating to the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism financing trial in United States history, failed to do so--twice--he had nothing for the committee the year before as well. Maybe $12 million isn't a lot to Holder, but Hamas was sure happy to get the dough.

Nairobi, Kenya: 59 Dead, 175 Wounded or Hurt, Not to Mention Benghazi and Pakistan

It began yesterday at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. A jihad attack apparently by 5 members of al Shabaab, an arm of al Qaeda with links, of course, to the Muslim Brotherhood, told all Muslims to leave the mall and then began throwing hand grenades and shooting men, women, and children at will with AK 47s. It is believed that at least on jihadist is a woman. They all wore white bandannas, military-style garb with grenades pinned to their shirts, and according to one survivor, they appeared to be well trained.
