American Airlines Mechanic Who Sabotaged a Miami Plane Had ISIS Videos on His Phone

The man arrested for sabotaging the navigation system on an American Airlines plane that was scheduled to take off from Florida earlier this year had ISIS propaganda videos on his cellphone. According to prosecutors, Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani has ties to the Islamic terrorist group through his brother in Iraq. The new revelations came during a bail hearing in Miami Wednesday. Alani is a naturalized citizen from Iraq.

From the Associated Press:

A federal judge cited new evidence of potential terrorism sympathies in denying bail for a mechanic charged with sabotaging an American Airlines jetliner.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Chris McAliley imposed pretrial detention for 60-year-old Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani at Wednesday’s hearing.

The new evidence presented by prosecutors includes that Alani has a brother in Iraq who may be involved with the Islamic State extremist group as well as statements Alani made about wishing harm on non-Muslims.

Alani is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Iraq. He’s not charged with a terror-related crime.

Alani is charged with sabotaging a Boeing 737 with 150 people aboard at Miami International Airport because ongoing labor negotiations were jeopardizing his chances at earning overtime.

Alani claimed he sabotaged the plane in order to get mechanic overtime pay. Luckily the issue was noticed by pilots before taking off and nobody was hurt. Alani was caught on surveillance video and he conducted the sabotage for seven minutes.

The Global Warming Scare — The Perfect Trojan Horse For Tyranny

If anyone doubts the reality of that headline, they either didn’t see the Democrats’ climate townhall, or they need to go back and watch it with an open mind. The alarmists’ objective, which fits perfectly with leftist and progressive politics, is to put themselves in charge of the world.

CNN’s climate townhall, a slog that lasted seven grueling hours, was a prohibition-fest. The candidates suggested banning nuclear energy, fracking, offshore drilling, conventional automobiles, all fossil fuels, even red meat, plastic straws, and babies. It devolved into a contest to see which Democratic presidential aspirant could propose the greatest volume of proscriptions.

And for what? Is our ever-changing climate an existential threat? Hardly. A slightly warmer planet “is not going to be the end of the world,” says Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization.

“The world is just becoming more challenging,” he told a Finnish magazine earlier this month. “In parts of the globe, living conditions are becoming worse, but people have survived in harsh conditions.”

While he’s neither a denier nor skeptic — he is probably best described as a “lukewarmer” — Taalas says he’s concerned about the fanatic elements that are even attacking the “climate experts” who are promoting the man-made global warming narrative. They, he says, “claim that we should be much more radical.”

“They are doomsters and extremists; they make threats,” he said.

Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore tweeted that Taalas’ statement is “biggest crack in the alarmist narrative for a long time.”

“The meteorologists are real scientists and probably fed up with Greta, Mann, Gore, & AOC catastrophists. Good on him.”

The climate townhall is not the first time those who sow fear have revealed their usually veiled, and always dark, reasons to continue to feed hysteria.

Christiana Figueres, former executive secretary of the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, has acknowledged the activists’ objective is not to save the world from overheating but to hijack markets and tear down capitalism.

Activist and influential author Naomi Klein asked, “what if global warming isn’t only a crisis?” in a preview of a documentary inspired by her book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the...

Democrats want their border crisis back and are actually plotting to get it

It may sound like wishful partisanship at first glance to argue that Democrats want the U.S. border to keep surging with hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal aliens, but that's what a Border Patrol leader is warning, not some partisan hack.

President Trump's immigration policies are steadily curbing the flow of illegal immigrants [sic] across our southern border — but some Democrats are determined to keep the humanitarian catastrophe going for as long as possible for political gain and at America's expense.

Based on the Democrats' upcoming bag of legislative and legal tricks that Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the chief labor union representing the agency, described, it's pretty obvious that they miss the border crisis and want a new one.

Some Democrats were already seething over a series of recent court rulings that upheld President Trump's border initiatives, and now that the success of those initiatives has become apparent, they're anxious to hamstring our enforcement efforts and reverse our recent progress. According to Politico, some House Democrats are looking for "payback" for Trump's immigration tactic, raising concerns that open-borders hardliners in the Democratic caucus might try to block funding for immigration enforcement agencies, such as the Border Patrol and ICE.

"There is a greater and greater sense in the Democratic Party that any support of the administration's policies is giving cover to moral wrongdoing," Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna explained.

Remarkably, the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates are even more radical on immigration than their colleagues in Congress. For these extremists, obstructing President Trump's border security agenda is small potatoes — their explicit objective is to "decriminalize" illegal immigration, turning America into a country with, in effect, no borders at all.

As if that weren't radical enough, on the second day of their presidential primary debate in June, every Democrat on the stage openly admitted that they would support providing "free" (i.e., taxpayer-funded) health care to every single illegal alien in the country.

So aside from trying to thwart President Trump from enforcing the law and end incentives for illegal immigration in courts, along with open-borders political stances, they're now going for the jugular, making moves to cut off all funding for the border patrol, an essential mission of government practiced by every nation in the world, in every era in history. It's as if they are attempting to erase the U.S., the very source of...
