In 2015, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized American citizen born in Sierra Leone, traveled to Africa and met with ISIS in Nigeria. He began communicating with a terrorist online who, thankfully, was an FBI informant. Jalloh was arrested and convicted for providing material support to ISIS and was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.Jalloh should have been denaturalized and deported after his conviction. That should have been the end of the story. However, as a naturalized citizen, he was allowed to remain in the country.In 2024, he was released from prison early, and on March 12 of this year, he walked into a classroom at Old Dominion University and opened fire, killing Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah, a retired Army officer. We cannot allow our immigration system to be wielded as a weapon against our nation.Shah was from Staunton, Virginia. He enlisted in the army in 2003 and flew an Apache helicopter over Iraq, Afghanistan, and Eastern Europe. He survived 600 hours of combat in the Middle East only to be gunned down by a terrorist as he taught a class here in the American homeland. This horrific attack should never have happened. When a foreign-born terrorist is convicted of conspiring against our homeland, no American should ever have to worry that he will attack again. My new bill, the Denaturalization and Expulsion of Persons Who Orchestrate Radical Terrorism Act, will guarantee that it never happens again.The DEPORT Act makes it clear that any naturalized citizen who commits an act of terrorism, plots to commit an attack, joins a terrorist organization, or otherwise aids and abets terrorists is denaturalized and deported. In other words, Jalloh’s conviction for supporting terrorists would have been his last act on American soil. Naturalization is intended to allow immigrants to pledge total allegiance to the United States. Terrorism is the antithesis of that pledge. This treasonous act represents everything we stand against. Any naturalized citizen found guilty of terrorism-related charges was never loyal to our country and should be removed from our homeland immediately. Most Americans are understandably shocked to learn that this is not already the law. However, as FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X recently, denaturalizing terrorists is “extremely difficult.” To do so, the government must prove that the person in question fraudulently obtained his or her citizenship. Under current law, joining a terrorist organization after naturalization is treated as prima facie evidence of such fraud, but only if it happens within five years of becoming a citizen.The DEPORT Act extends this five-year window for denaturalization to 10 years. It creates a new pathway to denaturalize lone-wolf terrorists — those inspired by online propaganda and foreign extremist ideology who act without formally joining a designated terrorist organization.RELATED: Austin’s ‘Property of Allah’ shooter is immigration failure made flesh Stephanie Tacy/NurPhoto/Getty ImagesCritically, the bill also directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to revise the application for citizenship to include an attestation requirement that will force every future applicant to swear under oath that they have no intent to commit terrorism against the United States. If this had been the law when Jalloh was naturalized, he would easily have been deported upon his conviction. Passing this legislation would be common sense at any point in American history. We cannot allow our immigration system to be wielded as a weapon against our nation. But it is especially sensible today, as more than 50 million people currently living in the United States were born in foreign countries. This represents almost 15% of the total U.S. population. Tens of thousands of these immigrants hail from countries with active terrorist networks. Worse yet, many were welcomed to America with little to no vetting under the Biden administration. Jalloh’s terrorism is not an isolated incident. Ndiaga Diagne, the shooter who attacked a beer garden in Austin, Texas, on March 1, was a naturalized citizen from Senegal. This gunman, who wore a “Property of Allah” shirt, killed two people and injured 14 others. Similarly, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, the Lebanese-born man who reportedly rammed his pickup truck into Temple Israel in Michigan last month, was a naturalized citizen. The status quo is untenable.Ensuring that our nation has the ability to denaturalize and deport convicted terrorists isn’t radical. It is the bare minimum we can do to claw back our sovereignty and protect American citizens against the ticking time bomb within our borders.

Voters in Georgia went to the polls Tuesday to elect someone to fill the seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene after she resigned on Jan. 5.Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris were the top two winners of the special primary election for Georgia's 14th Congressional District that included 17 candidates on the ballot on March 10.'Our country is safer because of what President Trump has done regarding Iran.'In the special election on Tuesday, Fuller defeated Harris handily. With 99% of the votes counted, Fuller had nearly 56% to Harris' 44%.Harris is a retired Army brigadier general who had been endorsed by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.).Fuller had the upper hand in the deep-red area of Georgia, especially with the endorsement of President Donald Trump, despite being outspent by Harris, $1.2 million to $6.5 million.Greene demolished Harris by nearly 30 percentage points in 2024.One of the major points of disagreement between Fuller and Harris was the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran."I spent 40 years in the military. ... The reality of it is, this is a war of choice," said Harris."Our country is safer because of what President Trump has done regarding Iran," said Fuller, who served in the Air National Guard overseas.Had Harris won the pivotal election, Democrat hopes of retaking both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections would have soared.For now, Fuller will complete Greene's term. He will have to win the election in November to serve a full two-year term.Greene was previously a stalwart Trump supporter but appeared to sour on the president and was very critical of his administration before she resigned the seat.RELATED: 'Low IQ traitor': Trump torches MTG after she claims he 'fueled' death threats against her' On Sunday, she claimed Trump had "gone insane" after he threatened to hit power plants and bridges unless Iran relinquished its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz."Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness," wrote Greene.Like Blaze News?

The loose-lipped Republican politician made fresh, wild assertions about classified government meetings, the alleged existence of alien programs, and secret forced breeding programs crossing aliens and humans.Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) continued his recent extraterrestrial revelations in a recent interview, just as NASA is circling the moon.'This is what the guy told me.'During a discussion with TMZ hosts Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere, Burchett was asked to elaborate on a closed-door meeting he had in a "secure setting" with an unnamed official.Burchett quickly told the hosts that the individual "gave addresses, they gave times and dates," and that the people who were in the meeting included those from the "executive branch of previous presidents, not this current president."After those remarks, TMZ's Levin got more specific, asking directly about reports of "pieces of machinery" and "life" that were alleged found and did not "seem earthly."Levin asked Burchett to address the existence of either or both."I'd say you'd be safe to say both," the Republican replied.RELATED: 'I'm not suicidal': Rep. Burchett says US would fall apart if we heard truth about UFOs Pushing things further, TMZ asked Burchett if it was true that "a member of our government" told him that a piece of alien machinery "interacted in some form with people."Burchett simply replied, "Yeah, they have ... it's pretty wild.""I'm not going to lie to you," the 61-year-old continued, claiming he would even take a polygraph test to prove it. "This is what the guy told me."Burchett then recalled an interaction he had with a "very high-ranking naval official" who allegedly described underwater crafts to him that were the size of "a football field moving at over 200 miles an hour."Burchett's story placed the meeting at his own office and concluded with the military official pulling him "up close" and saying, "Tim, they're real."The official then left out the side door, which Burchett said "nobody ever uses," describing it as "kind of weird."RELATED: Elon Musk announces plans for PERMANENT lunar city Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Burchett actually dispelled any idea that Earth is in danger, saying he did not believe there was an imminent threat just because the unknown forces could destroy humanity if they so chose to."I don't think we're at danger of this. I mean, if these things exist, as I think they do, they could have destroyed us with a blink of an eye. I just don't see that," the congressman explained.He then added, "But I do think they have the technology and the capabilities of something that we can't understand or we can't grasp."The eyebrow-raising interview concluded with Burchett commenting on recent remarks by former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). Gaetz had told host Benny Johnson about "enforced breeding programs" that involved "captured aliens" who were forced to breed with humans "to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication.""That's a true story," Burchett claimed. The congressman said that he, Gaetz, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) went to an unspecified location in Florida, where the group of politicians was first turned away. That was until Gaetz "made a phone call to somebody at the Pentagon.""All of a sudden they opened the doors," Burchett recalled.It was then that a group of pilots allegedly told the politicians about the breeding program.Like Blaze News?

Social media is rife with warnings that AI will take everyone’s jobs within the next one to five years. If true, mass unemployment will become a mainstay of modern life, sparking questions as to how civilization as we know it will survive. The big-brained elite think they have a solution through universal basic income — with some optimists like Elon Musk claiming that high basic income is the wave of the future — but this idealistic concept poses several dangers severe enough that they could dismantle America and bring about the end of the world.1. The death of capitalismLet’s get this one out of the way first: UBI is a gateway to socialism. In a world where the people earn nothing and everything of value is handed down from on high, the capitalist system that made this country great ceases to exist. Forced dependence, by any other name, is a form of slavery.Without a consistent job or a way to earn a steady salary, the people must become dependent on the elite who control the money and dole it out at their discretion. Who exactly is expected to do this honestly and fairly? The government has shown itself to be an unreliable steward, especially on the left as the pursuit of equity ensures some groups — like white, straight men — are intentionally marginalized in favor of minority groups. Private companies don’t seem like good benefactors either, as many of them are currently firing employees in favor of AI, simply to keep more money for themselves.Even if the UBI rollout magically goes off without a hitch, capitalism stands to face another hurdle. People are less likely to buy products and services when they live on a basic fixed income. In a study conducted in 2024, UBI recipients were most likely to spend UBI on necessities, like food and transportation, while withholding their dollars from what can be seen as more frivolous expenses that drive the American economy.2. Financial inequityThe left’s disdain for wealthy Americans is well-known, with politicians regularly calling for the rich to “pay their fair share,” because why should you keep your money when the government can have it instead? Right now, the left tries to confiscate as much of the people’s earnings as possible through taxes — like California’s outrageous wealth tax — and if given the chance, they’d gladly redistribute those funds to groups that didn’t earn it.RELATED: Why doesn't money make you happy? MicrovOne/Getty Images Universal basic income would install a fast lane to the left’s unofficial wealth redistribution program. Once in power, they would get to decide which groups receive UBI, as well as the amounts that are distributed. In a left-leaning world, that could mean minority groups get more basic income while “privileged” groups receive less, finally giving them the power to push the “equity” they’ve chased since the Biden administration.3. The end of the American dreamWhile Elon Musk’s “high basic income” is a novel idea, the reality of a socialist system means that most of us will get a meager allowance while the elite keep the lion’s share for themselves. In doing so, this will create a larger divide between the upper class and lower class. At the same time, the middle class who can’t work, can’t earn money, and can’t get a leg up will also fall into the lower-class bracket.Under UBI, the middle class will be hollowed out, permanently relegating the majority of Americans to poverty. Even worse, this new system will ensure that no one can escape the lower class simply because they don’t have a way to earn more money than the elites are willing to give. Job scarcity and financial dependence will keep the poor in check, and the American dream will cease to exist.4. Freedom isn’t freeOur forefathers promised the people life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They made a social contract, one that still stands to this day. But if the jobs go away, UBI is instated, and the people must depend on someone else for their next paycheck, the Declaration of Independence loses its power.Simply put, the people can’t be free if we’re forced to depend on politicians, benefactors, or elitists to provide our way of life. Forced dependence, by any other name, is a form of slavery. Universal basic income gives the elite the power to take our rights and render our founding documents null and void.5. One step closer to the end timesLast but not least, UBI is one of the final levers required to spread the mark of the beast, the precursor to the end times.In the New International Version of the Bible, Revelation 13:16-17 says: “It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.”This doesn’t just mean you can’t buy or sell products unless someone says so. It also means you would need the mark to receive UBI payments.To put it bluntly, it’s easier to force the people to sell their souls when their means to work, earn money, and be free are all taken away. Even if UBI isn’t the mark itself, it’s a Trojan horse that will usher in top-down control that can be exploited by the most evil forces our world has ever known. It’s exactly what the devil wants and needs before the book of Revelation comes to pass.Is universal basic income inevitable?In a word, no, not yet. The things above can only happen if the two things below about the ongoing AI race are true:AI will be effective enough to fully replace human jobs, a feat that’s proving difficult with continuous hallucinations, mistakes, and more.AI will have the power to produce endless mountains of cash. There can only be enough basic income for everybody — even in small amounts — if AI can print infinite money.Assuming these are true, more roadblocks stand in the way of an AI-controlled economy.A crippled economyBusinesses are currently run by people who buy products and services from other human-led companies. Some businesses sell products to each other (B2B), while other businesses sell straight to consumers (B2C). This cycle is the beating heart of capitalism.If companies are suddenly all run by the same AI platforms, they’ll no longer need to buy digital services from each other to get work done. They can simply use AI to build custom versions for their own companies at little or no extra cost, thus cutting out third-party vendors and partners, which will ultimately make some companies obsolete. In fact, this loophole has the power to take down the entire digital B2B market.On the commerce side, consumers face a different problem. They can’t use AI to manufacture physical products for themselves — like iPhones, PCs, and game consoles — but under the universal basic income strategy, they are more likely to hold their money for necessary purchases than to spend it like they do today. This monumental shift in spending habits could also cripple companies and the market, or at the very least, it could stifle year-over-year growth.In short, universal basic income, ushered in by the revolution of AI, would be a huge disaster for American workers, the American economy, and the American dream. All of it is in jeopardy unless the government passes regulations that prevent mass job loss. Luckily, after kneecapping the states’ ability to regulate AI via executive order, the federal government is finally stepping up by introducing the National AI Legislative Framework and the Trump America AI Act. More on that soon.
