FBI Director Comey vindicates Trump's safety plan

During a House committee hearing on homeland security in October, the director of the FBI, James Comey testified that the vetting process of Syrians was a gamble at best getting it right.  Said Comey, "We can only query against that which we have collected.  And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there will be nothing show up because we have no record of them."

This was in comparison to the Iraqi vetting process whereby for over ten years, we had Americans on the ground in Iraq gathering intelligence on people who sought to emigrate to the US.  However, that wasn't also picture perfect as yet terrorists affiliated with al-Qaida who had attacked US forces in Iraq managed to slip through the vetting process and resettled in Bowling Green, Kentucky, as reported by ABC News in November 2013.

So, one month before the Paris massacre by jihadi terrorists, one of whom had recently emigrated as a refugee; and six weeks before the San Bernardino massacre where one of the jihadi passed the US government vetting in Pakistan, Comey had announced that its vetting process may not be as good as we would like it to be.

We have known all along that the vetting process wasn't as tight as it should be, but our leaders prefer to turn a blind eye so as not to run the risk of angering a few folks and thus being called racist and xenophobe.

So, here comes GOP presidential hopeful, Donald J. Trump saying this past week on Good Morning America, "What I'm doing is calling very simply for a shut down of Muslims entering the United States, and here's a key, until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.  They don't know."

The key words in Trump's statement was "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

Don't our elected representatives want to thoroughly investigate what is going on with the vetting of Muslim refugees?  After all, it was FBI Director Comey who let it be known first that the Bureau was not equipped to vet the influx of 10,000 Syrian refugees, let alone 200,000 Syrian refugees President Obama has planned for 2016.

Said Trump on Greta recently, "We have an obligation to protect our citizens."  Trump continued, "Our political leaders are very weak, they're very ineffective.....Look, it's the safety of our country that we're talking about."

Is Trump right? Or should we continue our slide into the quick sand pit and do nothing to protect ourselves from the obvious threat before us, just because it's politically incorrect to target a specific group of people not residing in the U.S., mind you, because it's just not the American thing to do?

The notion that the United States has to accept foreign aliens that call themselves refugees on a large scale is an invitation to disaster as we are seeing quite clearly in western Europe, especially when the majority of the refugee hordes are male between the ages of 16 and 45.  We cannot screen them because of the lack of information on them!

During the House hearing on the committee on homeland security in November, Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) asked a very interesting question to homeland security secretary Jeh Johnson which went unanswered.  Said Smith, "Another red flag to me, is that in past years, historically, traditionally, refugees have been members of families.  And yet, the typical profile of Syrian refugees, I am told, is that most are young, single males as opposed to family members. And if so, to me that would raise a red flag, as well."

(Let me add that most of those refugees crossing into Europe are not simply Syrians but north Africans, Iraqis, Afghans and Pakistanis.)

Is the president or the US Congress going to confer a constitutional right to foreign aliens abroad before they ever set foot on U.S. soil?  I know for a fact that no foreign alien has a right to travel to the US without permission, and that those foreign aliens who have US visas can automatically have the visas rescinded and stamped "Cancelled Without Prejudice" by the US consulate.  Criteria must be met before being granted a visa.

Therefore, why all the hoopla over Trump's statement?

As you can see, this is all an engineered effort by the mainstream media, along with progressive Democrats and the Republican party elites at destroying Trump's credibility and presidential campaign before Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.

Which begs the questions that the anti-Trumpistas will not answer:  1) Are you more afraid of what Donald Trump says than you are of what ISIS has done to people and looks forward to executing right in your own back yard? And 2) Are you not concerned that the US Government doesn't have the proper mechanisms in place to vet foreign aliens coming out of that Middle Eastern region and whom may have terrorist ties to ISIS, al-Qaeda and other jihadi front groups?

The American establishment, sad to say, would rather have the American people not hear the Trump Truths so as to feather their own nests all-the-while promoting the leftwing, anti-American extremist agenda to the detriment of the republic.

And there you have it, folks, the good, the bad and the ugly!!!
