For more than two decades Congress has been avoiding the courageous scholar Robert B. Spencer. Finally, this week, he publicly gave expert testimony before the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. His expertise is unmatched internationally: militant Jihad and how blind, foolish, irrational and ignorant Western nations are being culturally, spiritually and politically conquered by traditional Islam. Present tense.
The link is below. It's a four minute read. I asked A.I. to summarize it and Spencer's words were too hot for them to touch. The politically correct robots were as cowardly as US congressmen have been for the last quarter century.
In 2016 I contacted the Trump transition team immediately after the election to formally recommend Spencer for Secretary of State, giving my endorsements directly to Ed Meese (Chairman) and Becky Norton Dunlop, the keeper of resumes. Why Spencer? Because International Islam is the greatest geopolitical threat in the world, and has been for 1000 years. Just ten years ago, the American Secretary of State could have adequately warned every nation which was then being overrun by "advance Islamic operating bases" called Mosques, in preparation for an invasion of peaceful-looking Muslim men of military age.
Thanks to Chip Roy for bringing Mr. Spencer before the cameras and the Congressional record. Read the record here:

Well, it's not "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius."
It's $400,000 Bentley automobiles. A lot of them. Of all the dealerships in Europe, the one in Kiev is in third place for sheer volume.
Take note of this tragic truth:
"Foreign aid is a mechanism by which poor people in rich countries are taxed to support the lifestyles of rich people in poor countries. The aid primarily serves three Ms—: munitions, monuments, and Mercedes for leaders and cronies."
--- Peter Thomas Bauer, a Hungarian-born British development economist:
Donald Trump this morning announced that “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST” have taken place between the U.S. and Iran over the past two days.
As a result, the president has “INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD.”
