The War with Iran

The “war” in Iran goes on. Now we have more American soldiers killed and injured. Iran continues to thwart free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. It has sent ballistic missiles to other countries in the region and has attacked US military bases.

Iran can never be trusted. It continues to be ruled by crazy Islamist radicals that want to rule the world. They will do whatever it takes to accomplish this goal. They believe that Islam is destined to rule the world. Look anywhere around the globe and see where there is Islam there is conflict. It has been that way for hundreds of years.

It is time for President Trump to stop being patient. Negotiations will never work. Agreements will be made and broken when it is to Iran’s advantage. Diplomatic efforts on the part of the USA and allied nations in the Middle East will always fail. The tactic of Iran is to delay, delay, delay. Time for that to end.

President Trump must release the “Fires of Hell” from our military to decimate all of Iran’s military capability. No more limited bombings. If this means destroying bridges, power plants, refineries, and Kharg Island; that must happen. The world will have to suffer the lack of oil resources from this radical Islamic source. Iran cannot be allowed to continue as a nation as it currently exists. It must be destroyed never to emerge again as a world power as a radical Islamic nation.

The USA and Western World consist of Christian based nations. That must be protected at all costs. Christian countries beat back Islamic expansion before in wars that stopped Islamic Caliphate expansion into Europe all during the period from the 8th to the 17th Century. We have arrived at the same challenge today. Islam is taking Europe from within today via hoards of immigrants being allowed in. That must be reversed as well with the deportation of all back to their respective home countries.

Islam is never going to live at peace with the other religions of the world, particularly with Christianity. The USA guarantees the free following of one’s religious choice and in its very founding document states there will never be a “national religion”. At the same time, it does not and should not tolerate any religion forcing domination over others like is the very pledge of Islam. Live at peace, No. Dominate, Yes. And if you do not agree, get exiled or even killed. That cannot be allowed in the United States of America.

Iran is the tip of the spear for Islam militancy around the world. It must end in Iran. It is time for President Trump to do what must be done….. wipe the current Iran off the map. Hopefully, the people that survive will reconstruct this country in a way that will live at peace with the other nations of the world.

Thank God that President Trump prevented Iran from ever having nuclear arms.

The Danger of Islam

FACTS DON’T LIE…!!!

There are patterns that are obvious… Draw your own conclusions! Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened!

Do You Remember?

  • In 1968 , Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed…By a Muslim male.
  • In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and
    massacred…By Muslim males.
  • In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to an Arab
    country where a fuse was lit on final approach and it was blown up shortly after landing…By Muslim males.
  • In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades…By Muslim males.
  • In 1979 , the US embassy in Iran was taken over…By Muslim males.
  • During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon…By Muslim males.
  • In 1983 , the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up…By Muslim males.
  • In 1985 , the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair…By Muslim males.
  • In 1985 , TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered…By Muslim males.
  • In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed…By Muslim males.
  • In 1993 , the World Trade Center was bombed the first time…By Muslim males.
  • In 1998 , the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed…By Muslim males.
  • On 9/11/01 , four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon, and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed…By Muslim males.
  • In 2002 , the United States and Canada and others fought a war in Afghanistan…Against Muslim males.
  • In 2002 , reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by…By Muslim males.
  • In 2012 … US Consulate attacked in Benghazi…By Muslim males.
  • In 2013 … Boston marathon bombers…By Muslim males.
  • In 2013… VIA Rail bombing thwarted…By Muslim males.

    Between 2013 and early 2024, extremist organizations such as the Islamic State (ISIS), Al-Shabaab, and the Taliban carried out tens of thousands of attacks worldwide. A comprehensive study by the Fondation pour l’innovation politique, a French think tank, recorded 56,413 Islamist terrorist attacks during this time frame, which caused over 204,900 deaths.

    Now we are at war with Iran which is ruled by radical Islamists whose goal is to dominate the world. When she was the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard warned the nation in at least two major speeches about the dangers of Islam. It is time to wake up and take heed. Islam is not compatible with the foundations and culture of the United States of America, a Christian based nation. It is not compatible with Western European culture, also Christian based. Look at what is happening in Europe.

    Islam followers are not willing to live in peace with the world’s other religions. So, Islam must never be allowed to have a significant presence in the USA. Never!

Chinese Students: Pipeline to the CCP

[Open Letter to the President of Purdue University]

Dr. Mung Chiang
President
Purdue University
Hovde Hall – Rm 200
610 Purdue Mall
West Lafayette IN 47907-2040

President Chiang:

I have enclosed a copy of part of the front page of The Epoch Times, Jan 14-20 issue. The page one top headline says, “Behind the Group That Controls Chinese Students in US”. The long, comprehensive article continues on page A6. I hope you are aware of the article or, if not, will seek it out.

I have been aware the largest student organization on the Purdue campus is the Chinese Student and Scholars Association. At least that is what has been reported. If what the article reports is accurate, I believe Purdue has a real problem.

Early in the article, Dr. Frank Xie Tian, who teaches an MBA program at the University of South Carolina now, is mentioned. I will quote a part of the article….

Xie arrived in the United States in 1986 as a doctoral student in chemistry at Purdue University in Indiana. He joined the local CSSA, appreciating it for much-needed services such as apartment hunting, airport pickup, and grocery carpooling. But soon, he learned that the Chinese Consulate had hand-picked the CSSA president and paid him a small stipend while he monitored his peers and reported back to officials.”

I cannot believe there has been any change favorable to the United States since 1986; maybe it is even worse and under tighter control from China. This means Chinese students are in a position to copy and steal all sorts of intellectual property involving research being carried on at Purdue.

I realize there are millions of dollars flowing to Purdue and to the West Lafayette community from Chinese students. But I must wonder if it is in the best interest of the USA. I don’t think so.

I was a middle-aged grad student at Purdue in 1989 at the time of Tiananmen Square. There was a Chinese grad student in the same research group I was in. He remained in the United States permanently. I believe he was given asylum at the time. So, issues with Communist China have continued for years.

At one point somewhat recently, there was to be a Congressional Committee to investigate the presence of Chinese students in our research universities and companies. I don’t know if that ever happened, but certainly Purdue is among the top research universities in the country. It should not be in a position of being a funnel of information back to China which it appears the Chinese Student and Scholars Association is.

Again, I think Purdue has a big problem.

Sincerely,
Kent H Blacklidge Ph.D.

To All:

I write to call your attention to the lead article on page one of the Jan 14-20 issue of The Epoch Times. I hope you will have your staff obtain a copy of the full article. It is long and comprehensive. Headline: “Behind the Group That Controls Chinese Students in US”.

I have written about this subject before. It involves the presence of Chinese students at both Purdue and Indiana University, but particularly at Purdue. The subhead of the Epoch Times article says, “Chinese students in America are pressured to ‘fight with all their might for the motherland”.

The message from the Chinese government to all Chinese students in American universities is clear: copy and steal everything you can to send back to China. And we let that happen!

The largest student organization on Purdue’s campus is the “Chinese Students and Scholars Association”. This at one of our nation’s largest research universities: Purdue. As a multi-graduate of Purdue, I say to myself, “What the HELL is going on?”. Are we stupid or what?

I realize that Chinese students on campus bring many millions of dollars to universities and to the support services around them. So, the answer must be greed on the part of universities. In a July 2025 article, I read there are about 277,000 Chinese students currently in the US. I also read somewhere that President Trump is OK with up to about 600,000 such students.

Money!!!! I have read that some universities would have to close without the money from such as China coming in. My opinion: TOO BAD. My years at Purdue as a graduate student even at middle age told me the staffing bloat is huge. I suspect most large universities need an Elon Musk DOGE exposure and drastic cuts much like was needed in the federal government.

We have known for decades that foreign students have stolen intellectual property worth trillions from our research and technology institutions. Yet we continue to allow it in the name of money. We must be crazy.

Again, I hope you will have someone seek out the full article for you. It is important for you to not turn a blind eye to this. As you can tell, this entire matter makes me really angry. It is long past time to cut off the flow of vital research and information to enemies. 

Sincerely,
Kent H Blacklidge Ph.D.

Awaken

The extent of the fraud perpetrated by Muslim Somali immigrants in the United States staggers one’s beliefs. It has now been identified as being in the tens of billions of dollars. It is not only in Minnesota but across the country.

But this can be a blessing. It has awakened our nation to what happens when immigrants incompatible with our nation’s foundations and beliefs are taken in. It is time for a reversal. It is time for deportation of all illegal aliens; no exceptions. It is time to end all “Temporary Protective Status” for thousands, then deportation as soon as possible.

It is time to closely examine all VISA holders and deport any who hold beliefs counter to USA values. This includes all in the country on student or visitor VISAs. It is time to totally end chain migration and lottery migration.

President Trump has already issued full suspension of immigration from 19 countries, many of which are Islam dominated countries. Many of those countries are harborers of terrorists wanting to harm the United States. Maybe it is time to suspend all immigration from anywhere for a time until corrective actions can be taken.

Our Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has warned about the intrusion into the United States of Muslims. She warned that Islam beliefs are not compatible with the Christian foundations of our country. She warned about the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) with legal efforts to designate them as foreign terrorist organizations. CAIR is pushing for Sharia Law based on the Quran be a part of US legal systems. This cannot happen. Sharia Law must be by statute banned in all states.

Both Florida and Texas governors are leading efforts to target Muslim advocacy organizations to restrict funding to Muslim organizations by tying them to terrorist groups. Finally, we must recognize that Islam is not compatible with the Christian foundation and beliefs enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights.

Rather, Islam is both a religion and a political movement dedicated to domination of the entire world. It is the opposite of personal freedom. It is for rule by Sharia Law without exception. It will use whatever means are necessary to conquer including war. Look back through the centuries. Evidence is clear.

Now today look at what has happened and is happening in Europe. European countries with Christian foundations are being destroyed by illegal Islam believing immigrants. Soon Europe will not be recognizable unless those countries take drastic action to remove (deport) all Muslim immigrants.

We cannot let happen in the United States of America what has and is happening in Europe. It is time to identify and deport all who do not embrace the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, speak English, and embrace our country’s traditions and customs. It is time to deport all illegal aliens whatever their beliefs.

We have been warned that Western Civilization is at risk. And, yes, the US Constitution guarantees a right to practice one’s religious faith, but it does not grant a right to dominate.

The time for bold and strong action is now.

Islamic Danger

If you did not listen to or read the text of the speech given by Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence of the United States of America, given at the December 20th gathering of the Turning Point USA’s America Fest, you must. The message she delivered should shake our nation to its very core.

In her speech, she said, “…there is a threat to our freedom that is not often talked about enough, and it is the greatest near and long term threat to both our freedom and our security, and that is the threat of ISLAMIST IDEAOLOGY. It is propagated by people who not only do not believe in freedom, their fundamental ideology is antithetical to the foundation that we find in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is that our Creator endowed upon us inalienable rights, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Gabbard does not specifically say the very foundation of United States of America is in Christianity, but it is. It is, as is the foundation of all Western European countries.

Gabbard did go on to say that “when we talk about this Islamist ideology, it is the ideology that fuels terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS and Hamas and Boko Haram and others, and they must be defeated militarily…… but this Islamist ideology is a direct threat to our freedom because at its core it is a political ideology that seeks to create a global caliphate that governs us here in America, threatening Western civilization, governance by Sharia law, governance by what they are calling Islamic principles. And if you fail to comply, if you fail to adhere to this ideology, if you dare to exercise your God given right to free speech, censorship is not what we face. They will use violence or any means they deem as necessary to silence us”.

We have seen around the globe this means decapitation and death. We have seen Christians slaughtered for their beliefs. We have seen terrorists attacks and murders in the United States. It goes on and on.

We are seeing overt actions escalate within our own country to promote Islam. Most recently, the Council of American Islamic Relations issued a call to action to use American legal and political systems to implement Sharia law, a religious/political body of law based upon the teachings of the Quran. Sharia law must be banned from all US governing systems including US courts.

We are seeing in Europe what happens if guard is lowered. Millions of illegal Islam believing immigrants have flooded into what are Christian foundation countries. The result has been chaos, violence, and even the loss of culture and beliefs once based in Judeo-Christian tenants. Europe is losing.

Gabbard said, “The bottom line is this. When we talk about the threat of Islamism, this political ideology, there is no such thing as individual freedom or liberty. Islamism (or Islam) is fundamentally incompatible with our nation’s foundation of freedom.”

And if you think this gradual invasion of the USA by Islamism is not occurring, just think about Dearborn, Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and most recently Patterson, New Jersey, who calls itself the first Muslim city. Think, too, about Kokomo, Indiana, where an Islamic Center was established not that many years ago. Think about the fact the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library was the site of a “What does the Quran Say..” gathering in December. Think about the fact an Indiana University Kokomo chemistry professor as long ago as 26 years taught Islam in university facilities in violation of university rules.

It is time to carefully vet all believers in Islam in the United States to determine where loyalty is rooted. Is it in the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States of America or is it in the Quran? It is time to deport all Islamists who are not US citizens including many who are among the hoard of illegal aliens that have invaded our country. There is no time to waste.

Our Beloved Country and Christmas

“Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought together out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

[This prayer taken from the Book of Common Prayer talks about the coming together of peoples from many backgrounds into a united people under the direction of Almighty God and Jesus Christ. We are a Christian nation based in a Judeo-Christian heritage. We cannot and must not allow any other religion to become a significant or dominant influencing presence in our nation. We must not allow enclaves of other religions, particularly militant ones, to become established in our nation that separate themselves from Judeo-Christian foundations upon which our nation is based.

Yes, the United States of America has a Constitutional provision that provides the government will not establish a national religion and will allow freedom of persons to practice their religion freely. The framers of the Constitution were not then concerned about Buddhism, Hinduism, or Islam or any other world religion gaining a presence in the United States of America. Times have changed. All peaceful religions have been welcomed.


Throughout the world currently where one finds conflict and intolerance, one commonly finds Islam dominance. One only has to look at what were Christian established nations in Europe to see what happens when millions of Islam believing immigrants flood in. European Christians had to beat back followers of Islam more than once historically with the latest being in the 17th Century. And look now at Nigeria where Christians are being slaughtered by followers of Islam.


“A core tenet of the Quran is that Islam is the final, complete, and the only currently accepted religion in the sight of God after the coming of the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, while past followers of the original, uncorrupted revelations of Moses and Jesus were considered true believers, contemporary individuals, including Jews and Christians who reject the final message of the Quran, are considered disbelievers, and their path is not accepted by God after the advent of Islam.”


What more can one say.

Mass Deportations

Interesting, but way too long a front-page article in the September 24th Kokomo Tribune that was titled, “Mass Deportation”. It took about 1/3rd of the front page and over half of page two. It should not take most of two pages to say mass deportation of illegal aliens is happening with more to come.

The fact is Joe Biden et.al. allowed — encouraged — millions of people from other places to enter the United States of America illegally. The estimate is something around 25 million came on top of the illegal aliens already here. All have violated U.S. immigration laws.

One argument being made is illegal aliens have Constitutional rights including due process. The opposing argument is only U.S. citizens have rights under the Constitution. Certainly, Constitutional rights do not apply to everyone in the world!

So, the Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency (ICE) is finding and deporting illegal aliens. The first effort has been and is the rounding up of illegal aliens that have committed crimes either in the U.S. or in their home country. Then, depending upon the severity of the crime, either deporting them or locking them in prison. This all to make our country and citizens safer. We should applaud this effort.

The truth is any person who crossed the border recently or many years ago that did not do so having a proper VISA or granted asylum claim or application for citizenship is in violation of immigration law and has no right to be here. And there is no reason to clog up courts for years.

Many illegal aliens have now chosen to self-deport. The Department of Homeland Security estimates the number to be around 1.6 million. Those are the smart ones who have chosen a path that will permit later application for legal entry into the U.S.. Illegal aliens who are apprehended by I.C.E. and deported have no future path back into the U.S..

Of course, there are those who believe “criminal illegal aliens” and illegal aliens who have not otherwise committed a crime in the U.S. should be treated differently…… like allowing the latter to stay in the United States. No. U.S. law is U.S. law. It does not differentiate between groups that have or have no other issues. Crossing the border and residing in the U.S. without adherence to U.S. immigration law is illegal. Apprehending and sending back to home countries is enforcing U.S. law uniformly.

And, yes, there will be economic disruption with removal of illegal aliens who have also illegally been working jobs for pay in the United States. That is violation number two. Disruptions will be encountered in agriculture, construction, food processing, landscaping, and hospitality to name a few. Too bad. Now maybe the companies involved will pay proper wages to citizens.

Republicans were elected in part to deal with the illegal alien problem. The administration is acting. I.C.E. deserves our total support. Any who resist or threaten should be arrested and prosecuted. Immigration law must be enforced impartially and fully. Any change in law will have to come by an act of Congress.

Never Again

Democrats and the Democrat Party must never again be allowed power. That Party must be squashed to the point of being only an irrelevant whimper. The Democrat Party and too many of its leaders and followers have become advocates of deadly violence. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is only the latest.

The Democrat Party far left wing has taken over. It tolerates…. no, embraces…. Communists and communism, Islamists, abortion to birth, transgender insanity, no-cash bail, defund the police, gun bans, illegal aliens by the millions, sanctuary cities, no voter ID, and more. I could go on and on. It has become the Anti-American Party wanting to bring down this nation.

Joe Biden et.al. in their four years almost got the job done. I cannot even bring myself to call him “President”. He and those around him proved themselves to be evil and traitors. Somehow, accountability must come.

Now, we learn of the firing from employment of many who made cruel and disparaging remarks about the killing of Charlie Kirk. They cheered his death. My hope is every one of them is sent into obscurity in self-imposed exile for the rest of their lives.

Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA stood and stands for the highest ideals of the United States of America. Charlie stood for peace with disagreement about all sorts of issues, but debate; not violence. He reached out specifically to the young who had been and are being propagandized by far left college professors. He embraced debate.

Charlie Kirk’s killing will not stop the people of the United States from fully taking back their country. The Turning Point message will only get louder and louder. Already, we learn that thousands have made inquiry about starting new Turning Point chapters. Charlie’s voice has been amplified thousands of times over.

The evil doers, the Democrat Party and its leaders and followers, must and will be sent into exile. The United States of America will again become the light on the hill for personal freedom, freedom of speech, and respect for one another. Charlie Kirk led the way. We all should thank God for Charlie Kirk having walked among us.

The Chinese are Here

According to the Institute of International Education and Statista, in the 2023-2024 academic year there were 277,398 Chinese national students studying in the United States. And as of Spring 2025, there were 2,043 Chinese national students at Purdue University with 1,340 of them being graduate students. Indiana University had over 1,000 Chinese national students over the same periods.

There is a big issue. This has been going on for years. These students are in a position to steal all sorts of intellectual property and be involved in cutting edge technology, the life blood of the United States of America. Congress has told us over and over that billions of dollars of intellectual property are stolen each year and fed back to Communist China. I have to suspect part of it sources at Purdue.

And what is the big draw for universities? Money! Tuition and fees money are in the tens of millions of dollars yearly. Then there are room and board fees for students as well. More millions. Another word for this may be greed.

Purdue is one of the top national research universities in the country. Indiana University not so much. The largest on-campus student organization at the Purdue campus is the “Chinese Students and Scholar’s Association”. Even this suggests something is amiss.

It is not without note that the current President of Purdue University is Dr. Mung Chiang, a naturalized American citizen of about 20 years but from China. And the acting department head of the Forestry and Natural Resource Department for a time was Dr. Zhao Ma who was born in China and whose undergraduate education was in Beijing, China. She is now the head of the Human Dimensions Lab in the FNR department. I do not know if she is a naturalized US citizen. So, the presence on the Purdue campus of people either Chinese citizens or former Chinese and now US citizens is substantial.

There is more. Foreign entities own a total of 40 million acres of US farmland and China has bought up nearly 347,000 acres, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. We are well aware, too, that Smithfield Foods, an icon of the American food industry, was purchased by the Chinese in 2013 for $7.1 billion. More inroads into our food supply.

It seems the Chinese Communists are finding ways to infiltrate the US economy and society more and more with each passing day. They have been selling more product into our country than any other foreign country. And they have control of the precursor materials for literally all of our prescription medicines.

Fortunately, very recently it was announced that the Select Committee on the Communist Party in the US Congress is pursuing investigation about the presence and research activities of students from Communist China at Purdue University and several other universities. That has been needed for years.

The entanglement with and gradual encroachment of China into the United States cannot go on if we want to have a viable and vibrant Constitutional Republic. President Trump is well aware of this and is trying to take corrective measures. Democrats and RINOs are road blocking whenever possible. That must stop.
