Kurt Schlichter recently penned an excellent Townhall column predicting a massive terrorist attack on America. Kurt has also written a book about it, of course, and he is spot on. Maybe I’ll stay in Thailand a little longer. Terrorists have no reason to attack this country. Nothing to gain here.
The odds of a massive terrorist attack on the United States are high, and the Left not only isn’t preparing for it, they would welcome it. I’m not sure Republicans will be of much help in stopping one.
Rather than predicting the inevitable, let me discuss some aspects of it, including my statement above that the Left will welcome it.
First, when might this attack come? No one can predict that, of course; if we could, we would be able to thwart it. Plus, reading a terrorist’s mind is an utterly futile exercise. Their mental synapses don’t connect in ordinary ways, so any guesswork on their coming actions is purely a series of coin tosses. But permit me to talk about a timeframe anyway.
Obviously, in one sense, it would be best for them to hit during the Biden administration. Joe Biden would have no clue how to respond, and would surely blame Donald Trump for it. Or maybe Israel. And Vladimir Putin. Probably all three.
Weakness encourages aggression, and “weakness” and Joe Biden are synonymous terms. Republicans need to learn that principle politically as well, but probably never will. The problem terrorists face by attacking during Biden’s administration is that he would get the blame—and rightfully so. This would definitely hurt him during the coming election, though 9/11 didn’t cost George W. Bush in 2004. If I were a terrorist, I wouldn’t launch my attack this year; all of America’s enemies want a weak Biden (or any other America-hating Democrat) back on the throne next year, so doing something that might cost Democrats votes would be verboten. At least, that is the way I would think if I were a terrorist.

But I’m not a terrorist (though Leftists might think I am), and they don’t think logically or use a lot of common sense. If they don’t hit America this year, they risk Donald Trump becoming president, and no American enemy wants that. They might consider that an attack could hurt him politically, but Trump can’t run for office again so politics would be a moot point. Plus, if/when he found out who was responsible, he would obliterate them. We aren’t talking Bush’s bumbling Iraq war here or Biden’s Afghanistan. Trump would hit them where it really hurt, and he would hit them hard, and continually, until he annihilated them. They ought to know that. But whether they do or not is anybody’s guess.
Biden, of course, is still letting them freely into the country. But he might throw marshmallows at them after an attack. F-16s are to be reserved for Americans.
There is little doubt that terrorist cells are already being formed around the country in preparation for the attacks. However, these kinds of things, done well, DO take time to organize. What cities will they hit? Where in those cities for maximum, optimal accomplishment? What tools will be used? How will they finance their attacks? No doubt the plans are being made now, and arrangements are underway—and have been for who knows how long. So, it could happen any time, or it might be delayed for a while. That is part of the “terror” of “terrorism.” Wise Americans know it is coming, but nobody knows when, where, or how. And the Left doesn’t care.
Why doesn’t the Left care? For several reasons. First, remember that they hate America. Any attack on racist, homophobic, Christian-nationalist, pro-Israel America would be “deserved.” When the attack comes, you will hear cheers in certain quarters of the country, like we are hearing cheers for Hamas right now. It would be the same group of people.
Plus, “crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant” (James Madison). The thinking is, and it is surely correct among masses of people, that a gigantic attack on America would send more people scurrying under the chicken wing of government. People will demand “security” over “freedom.” Those two concepts are not mutually exclusive, of course, except in the minds of Leftists. A “crisis” is a great way to get more people demanding bigger government, and Leftists want nothing more than bigger government. They might even think that, if it happens this year, it might help re-elect Biden. Remember, every Leftist’s mind, from Biden to Pelosi to every transgender, is warped and disconnected from reality. But, if there are enough Leftists in the country now, who knows? Biden MIGHT get re-elected. Terrorist attack or no terrorist attack.
Also, never forget that Leftists do not care how many people must die to further their cause. That means in America, too.
So, yes, the Leftist “leadership”—Biden, Pelosi, Obama, etc.—while certainly publicly decrying any terrorist attack on America, secretly may be fine with it because they believe it would further their cause: Americans would turn more power over to them. And, to a Leftist, that is the greatest cause of all.
Regardless of how many people must die to achieve it.
It’s going to happen, folks. Biden is letting them in the country knowing full well it COULD happen. And he is doing nothing to prevent it. Because he doesn’t want to prevent it.
