We have been at war with Muslims for 200 years. Two hundred years ago, in the winter of 1832, President Andrew Jackson sent the USS Potomac on a mission of retribution for the Muslims attack on the ship Friendship and the killing of some members of her crew and enslaving of others.
USS Potomac Captain Downes was ordered by Jackson to preserve documents involving the expedition as Congress launched an investigation into his actions. Even though Downes had given the order to “not fire a gun upon the Malays, unless the attack first came from them”, seeking to capture their leaders and hold them hostage to extract compensation for the Friendship’s losses, and even though he had specifically ordered that women and children be spared, partisan newspapers accused Jackson and Downes of orchestrating a massacre of innocent people that never happened.
There was even less knowledge of the cultural differences in a Muslim society thousands of miles away back then than there is today and so there was very little understanding of the circumstances that the United States Marines had been operating under once they made contact with the enemy. Muslim attackers had opened fire from houses, making it all but impossible to avoid civilian casualties, and in at least two cases, women attacked Marines.
Captain Downes had done his best to uphold an impossible set of instructions which, had he followed them, would have led to either the failure of his mission or the massacre of his men.

Bold, radical, and deadly. While Republicans have shied away from using their majority to pass any federal action on abortion, Democrats have promised to legalize abortion through birth in the first 100 hours of their tenure as the new majority party. wng.org/opinions/bold-radica…

Democrats' victory sparks fear, panic. Here's why there's hope. Faith is the most important indicator of wellbeing, and despite political and cultural chaos, beliefs and practices are holding strong — and that matters. - washingtontimes.com/news/202…

ABDUL EL SAYED FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE BRIEFINGS
By Jonathan Gregory
Washington, DC - November 8, 2026
Abdul El Sayed has failed the background check required for classified Senate briefings. The denial blocks him from any session that involves sensitive national security information. Officials who conduct the clearances reported that the review did not meet the standards necessary for access to restricted materials. The failure leaves open the question of what specific issues prevented approval.
Senators who receive classified briefings must clear the same process before they can attend. El Sayed’s rejection means he cannot participate in those meetings. The decision places him outside the normal flow of information that other members receive. Americans who expect every senator to qualify for the same briefings now see one individual excluded by the clearance system.
The denial raises direct concerns about what the background check uncovered. Officials have not released the precise reasons but the result itself is public. Voters who supported El Sayed must now consider whether a senator barred from classified sessions can fulfill the full duties of the office. The clearance failure stands as the official record until any appeal produces a different outcome. The standard remains the same for every member of the chamber.

ALT THE SENATOR: Abdul El Sayed Who Failed the Background Check Required for Classified Senate Briefings!
ALT THE CLEARANCE: Classified Document Graphic Representing the Restricted Materials El Sayed Is Now Barred From Viewing!
ALT THE CAPITOL: Michigan State Capitol in Lansing Representing the State That Sent El Sayed to the Senate Before the Clearance Failure!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US Senators do not undergo formal background checks or security clearances for classified briefings; they receive access by virtue of their elected constitutional office. No reports confirm Abdul El-Sayed (elected Nov 2026) failing any such process.
