Around 20% of young Americans view Osama Bin Laden — the mastermind behind the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history — in a positive light‚ according to a new Daily Mail poll.  The poll‚ which surveyed voters between 18 and 29 years old‚ also found that around 30% of the young Americans believe the views that guided Bin Laden were a “force for good‚” The Daily Mail reported. Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals in May of 2011 after a decade-long manhunt for the radical Islamic terrorist. The al-Qaeda leader orchestrated the September 11‚ 2001‚ terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington‚ D.C.‚ which killed nearly 3‚000 Americans.  Of the 18-29-year-olds surveyed in the poll‚ 8% said they had a “completely positive” view of Bin Laden while another 12% said they had a “somewhat positive” view of the infamous terrorist. Among those who viewed Bin Laden positively‚ 8% said both his “views and actions” were good‚ and 23% said his views were good but his actions were bad‚ according to the Mail. Eighty-one percent of those polled overall held a negative view of Bin Laden. The Daily Mail poll results come a month after viral TikTok videos showed young Americans discussing Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” and sympathizing with the al-Qaeda leader after reading it. The letter outlines Bin Laden’s justification for the 9/11 terrorist attack on U.S. soil.  Terry Strada‚ whose husband died in the North Tower on 9/11‚ told the Mail that the poll results are a “horrifying” and “disturbing” sign that terrorism is being “normalized” in the U.S.  “What is wrong with our youth? How do they not realize the horrors of terrorism?” Strada asked. “This is a dangerous and slippery slope to go down.”  Another American who lost a loved one on 9/11 blamed the U.S. government’s lack of transparency about Saudi involvement in the terror attack for the rise in young Americans’ sympathies for Bin Laden.  “We have never been told the full story or truth about what happened to us on 9/11‚” said Brett Eagleson‚ whose father perished in the South Tower. “So it’s no wonder why today’s youth and adolescents have taken such extremist views supporting the evil that visited us that day. We have a two-decades-long government cover up to blame for this.”  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The time is past for a full accounting of the Saudi Government[‘s] role in 9/11 as well the intelligence failures of the US government‚” Eagleson added.  In October‚ a survey conducted by Cygnal showed that a majority (57.5%) of Muslim Americans believed Hamas was “justified” in its terrorist attack against Israel. While most Muslim Americans defended Hamas’ actions on October 7‚ 75% of all Americans condemned Hamas for attacking Israel and murdering around 1‚200 people.

The Michigan Supreme Court refused a liberal group’s effort to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential primary ballot on Wednesday‚ roughly a week after Colorado’s high court ruled against the former president in a similar case. A brief order said the Michigan justices “are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court‚” rejecting the challenge from Free Speech For The People that seeks to disqualify Trump based on the view that he engaged in an insurrection on January 6‚ 2021. The application sought to challenge the Michigan Court of Appeals decision that left the issue of primary ballot access up to the Republican Party but declined to rule on whether Trump is qualified to be on the general election ballot because he has not won the GOP nomination. One of the Michigan Supreme Court justices‚ Elizabeth Welch‚ wrote in an opinion that the lower-court ruling “still allows appellants to renew their legal efforts as to the Michigan general election later in 2024 should Trump become the Republican nominee for President of the United States or seek such office as an independent candidate.” Free Speech For The People‚ the left-wing organization that brought the lawsuit with election lawyer Mark Brewer of Goodman Acker P.C. on behalf of a group of voters‚ signaled that it will not back down in its legal endeavors to remove Trump from the ballot in Michigan and in other states. The efforts hinge on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment‚ which has been widely interpreted as an effort to block former officials who joined the Confederacy from returning to public office after the Civil War. “The decision isn’t binding on any court outside Michigan and we continue our current and planned legal actions in other states to enforce Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment against Donald Trump‚” said Free Speech For People legal director Ron Fein. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The Court’s decision is disappointing but we will continue‚ at a later stage‚ to seek to uphold this critical constitutional provision designed to protect our republic‚” Brewer added in a statement. “Trump led a rebellion and insurrection against the Constitution when he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election and he is disqualified from ever seeking or holding public office again.” Other Section 3 legal challenges against Trump have been filed in other states. Some have been dismissed while others remain ongoing‚ a Lawfare tracker shows. Only the Colorado case has resulted in Trump being kicked off the primary ballot. Trump’s campaign vowed to “swiftly file an appeal” to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Colorado high court’s ruling has been placed on hold until at least January 4 pending further proceedings. “The Michigan Supreme Court has strongly and rightfully denied the Desperate Democrat attempt to take the leading Candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election‚ me‚ off the ballot in the Great State of Michigan‚” Trump said in post to Truth Social on Wednesday. “This pathetic gambit to rig the Election has failed all across the Country‚ including in States that have historically leaned heavily toward the Democrats. Colorado is the only State to have fallen prey to the scheme.”

Iran has rapidly increased its production of near-weapons-grade uranium in recent weeks‚ according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said in a recent report that the agency has confirmed twice in the last eight days that Iran has tripled its production of 60% enriched uranium over the last month‚ according to The Wall Street Journal. The report noted that Iran is the only country in the world that is producing 60% enriched uranium that is not a declared nuclear power. The news comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran have risen significantly since the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas carried out an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. Since then Iranian-backed terrorists throughout the region have launched hundreds of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria and against commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea. Officials believe that it would only take Iran a matter of days to be able to convert 60% enriched uranium into the form needed for a nuclear weapon. Richard Goldberg‚ a former Trump administration official and senior adviser at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies‚ called the news a “catastrophic policy failure on every level.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP U.S. officials believe that Iran has enough stockpiled enriched uranium to build three nuclear weapons while Israeli officials believe that they have enough for at least five. Uranium found in nature only contains 0.7% uranium-235 (U-235)‚ which is needed to create the chain reaction that causes a nuclear explosion‚ the remaining 99.3% is uranium-238 (U-238). Scientists use centrifuges to separate the two isotopes and the remaining U-235 is taken and then further enriched to either be used for energy production‚ medical purposes‚ or nuclear weapons. To make a nuclear weapon‚ scientists need to enrich uranium to 90%‚ however‚ enriching uranium to just 20% represents a major threat because “enriching uranium to 20% represents about 90% of the effort needed to produce weapons grade fissile material‚” the Center For Arms Control And Non-Proliferation notes. “Once a proliferator reaches this threshold‚ it could be ready to weaponize in a relatively short time.”

Blake was acquitted of the crime in 2005 after a complete media circus. Bakley’s children later won a wrongful death lawsuit‚ meaning Blake was ordered to pay them $30 million.
