You make the call. Afghan Accused of Election Day Terror Plot Worked for CIA. Was he going after Trump or Harris? The below article is a reprint from NewsMax.
An Afghan man accused of plotting a terror attack on Election Day previously worked as a security guard in Afghanistan for the CIA, NBC News reported Wednesday.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested on Monday in Oklahoma on charges of planning to kill American citizens on behalf of the terror group ISIS.
Court documents indicated that Tawhedi planned to attack on Nov. 5, Election Day, and he confirmed to authorities in an interview conducted after his arrest that he intended to target large gatherings of people and expected to die a martyr.
One senior administration official told NBC News that counterterrorism officials surmised that Tawhedi became radicalized while he was living in the United States. He entered the country in September 2021, according to court documents.
“Every Afghan resettled in the U.S. undergoes a rigorous screening and vetting process no matter which agency they worked with,” the official said. “That process includes checking against a full range of U.S. records and holdings.”
NBC News reported that Tawhedi passed two rounds of vetting with no derogatory information found and, according to a source, was first screened before he entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole.
Tawhedi was vetted again when he applied for a Special Immigrant Visa, for which he was eligible because he worked for the U.S. government. Although he was approved for the visa, an official told NBC News he had not yet completed it.
The Justice Department’s charging document said Tawhedi entered the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa “and is currently on parole status pending adjudication of his immigrant proceedings.”
But two U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter told NBC News that the charging document is incorrect and Tawhedi entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole, which usually entails much less rigorous vetting than a Special Immigrant Visa.
According to authorities, Tawhedi planned the attack with a juvenile co-conspirator, who was described as an Afghan national with legal permanent resident status.
The criminal complaint alleged that Tawhedi and his co-conspirator advertised the sale of the family’s personal property on Facebook before the planned attack. After a confidential FBI informant responded to inquire if a computer was still for sale, Tawhedi and the juvenile met with the source, who claimed he needed the computer for a new gun business he was starting.
Tawhedi and the juvenile were arrested Monday after meeting with the confidential informant and purchasing two AK-47 rifles, 10 magazines, and 500 rounds of ammunition.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., took to X on Wednesday to decry the Biden-Harris administration’s vetting process of the tens of thousands of Afghans who relocated to the U.S. following the withdrawal of American forces from the country in August 2021.
“Following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, more than 77K Afghans were given humanitarian parole, with little to no vetting and no intent to know their whereabouts,” Johnson wrote. “Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi – the terrorist plotting an election day attack – was one of them.
“Whether it’s their open-border policies or failed foreign policy, this administration continues to risk American lives by allowing terrorists, murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals into our homeland.”
Tawhedi was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, which if he is convicted carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, and receiving a firearm to be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years.
Hate groups that support the terrorist that are attacking Israel.This from one of the hate group leaders.
Arman Deendar of the student group Brown Divest Coalition told NPR it was “a moral and ethical failure of unimaginable magnitude, compounded by the untransparent, undemocratic, and frankly disgraceful manner in which the Corporation voted in secret.” He also said it was “an egregious erasure of the insurmountable violence enacted by the Israeli regime in Gaza and now Lebanon.” Below is the response.
In a letter announcing the decision, Brown President Christina Paxson and Chancellor Brian Moynihan said that “Brown’s mission doesn’t encompass resolving or adjudicating global conflict,” adding, “Brown University will not divest from the 10 companies described in a student-led divestment proposal.
Operation Popeye (No, not named after someone’s favorite restaurant.). Weather Machine. Lately we’re hearing crazy stuff about a weather machine used against Red states. Crazy right?
But after WWII the US was doing research on it. During the Vietnam war the US was attempting to manipulate the weather.
The United States used weather warfare in the Vietnam War. Operation Popeye saw the use of cloud seeding over the Ho Chi Minh trail. It was hoped that the increased rainfall would reduce the rate of infiltration down the trail.
The operation included creating clouds over South East Asia using silver iodide. American jets made about 2000 sorties to create the clouds. The cloud making units were attached to the side of WC-130A Hercules aircraft.
General Electric and the US military had already previously worked together to attempt to control weather systems, after World War Two.
Whether the program was successful or not remains debated. Some agree that the manmade clouds created between one and seven inches of rainfall every year of the operation.
Beating the left in court. Amsterdam NY was like one of the Midwest rustbelt cities. Their manufacturing was gone and all that was left was empty buildings.
Anthony Constantino has been buying the old buildings and brining back manufacturing. So far1,500 jobs. In the one building he put his company Sticker Mule. On top of it he put a huge Vote Trump sign.
The leftist mayor went to court and got a temporary injunction. Supporters of the former president in upstate New York won a last-minute court victory allowing them to illuminate a 100-foot wide “Vote for Trump” sign — despite their city’s effort to block the massive political endorsement.
The judge lifted the temporary restraining order in the nick of time, after hearing oral arguments on the case, ending at around 5:30 p.m. Monday. The mayor and lawyers claimed the sign posed a risk to the drivers on the highway. The judge agreed to vacate her prior order on the grounds that the sign is sufficiently far from highways and doesn’t pose a danger.
Toyota Latest Company to Ditch ‘Woke’ Policy. It’s a known fact that the Progressives turned to WOKE when affirmative action in most cases has been ruled illegal and was racist.
So the extremists needed another way to keep minorities (mostly Blacks) under their thumb. So they created WOKE. For a while many corporations joined the racist policies and hired the bottom of the barrel. Well now that’s changing.
Toyota Motor Corp. announced Thursday that it will no longer be participating in the Human Right Council’s Corporate Equity Index as more companies abandon the trend of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Harris supports striking dock workers. How can one live on 150-300-K? Let’s face it, according to Harris and the strikers, it’s tough to make a living on the kind of money the dock workers are making.
The company offered a 50% pay raise ( even that’s crazy ). But the workers said you can’t live on that. 77% is more like it. So let’s see if Harris gets out there and joins the picket line.
And finally the Union President only has a 700K salary, yacht, and a Bentley. How sad that he must live with only that to show for his hard work.
If this is what we have to do to win. 90 Lawsuits filed against voter fraud.
In many of the states and counties you have Democrats trying to go around or just totally ignore present law.
“Our legal efforts are fighting to fix the problems in the system, hold election officials accountable, protect election safeguards and defend the law. While Democrats want a system open to fraud without safeguards, that counts illegal votes, we are committed to securing the election so every legal vote is protected,” Gineen Bresso, who is running the election integrity operation for the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign, said in a statement.
Just my two cents. Progressives support a pill that kills babies but are against a pill that doesn’t. For some reason the fanatics on the left feel that there’s nothing wrong with the abortion pill. The baby must die according to them. What I don’t understand is this. Many who feel that way are older women and men couldn’t have babies or are no longer able to have sex to create those babies.
Maybe they see what a failure their children are, and they think that the next generation will be as bad if not worse. So can that be the reason why? Now there’s a pill out there that can reverse the procedure, and these old folks are up in arms.
The abortion pill is proving to be unsafe, and women are dying from it or suffering serious side effects. Recently a woman in Georgia died and as did the baby. So, what did the pill accomplish?
