The Hostage-Taker That Killed The Austin SWAT Officer Was On A Terror-List… And There’s MORE

Does the Biden administration TRY to be on the wrong side of every issue — or does it just come naturally?

The Biden administration has been busy tilting at windmills…

Biden’s FBI spent the first couple years of his term pouring most of their resources into ‘domestic terrorism’. But what THEY meant by domestic terrorism was Betsy Ross flags, MAGA voters, aggrieved parents, Gadsden flags, Latin Mass, and pro-life protesters.

The border was flung wide open by Biden people. When critics raised concerns about a sharp uptick in people on our terror watch lists rolling in, Dems doubled down and let even MORE people in.

When Hamas terrorists sucker-punched Israel on October 7th with the most heinous anti-Jewish Pogrom since Hitler’s day, the Biden administration bent over backward to warn against… Islamophobia.

…While a real threat was bubbling up right under its nose.

Since that attack, we’ve seen a seemingly endless parade of Hamas-sympathizers. At least one homicide. People tearing down posters, intimidating Jewish Americans and rioting in the streets. Biden’s home, the White House, the NYTimes, Grand Central Station and — as of last night — even the Capitol building have been targeted. The last one ended in a Capitol lockdown with several Capitol police being injured.

Elected Democrat Rashida Tlaib was outed for Hamas connections (more than once), and an American mosque called the carnage of 10/7 a ‘great victory‘, invoking imagery of Vietnam in a successful win against an occupying force.

Attacks against Jews were resulting in Terror charges (even when they were sometimes too stupid to recognize an actual Jew from a wannabe). And it wasn’t some good-ol’ boy in a pickup truck with a Confederate flag. It was some angry Palestinian chick.

It’s almost as if Joe Biden spent record numbers of resources after his political enemies instead of things that would actually threaten the peace in America.

And then THIS happened:

Remember that fatal hostage incident in Austin last Saturday?

Three people were killed, including a police officer, after a suspect held several people hostage early Saturday in Austin, Texas, and engaged police in a shootout, officials said.

A second officer and another person were injured in the shooting before the suspect was fatally shot by SWAT officers, police said.

The Austin Police Department received a 911 call at 2:49 a.m. from a woman who was screaming and said someone was stabbing her, interim Police Chief Robin Henderson said at a news conference Saturday. — NBC News

Cops showed up on the scene to deal with the hostage-takers in an attempt to rescue the hostages.

Two officers were shot in the exchange while attempting the rescue. One of them, Officer Jorge Pastore, was fatally injured.

Bomb-making materials were discovered at the scene. And that wasn’t all.

The gunman was on the Terror Watchlist.

The gunman who killed Texas SWAT Officer Jorge Pastore in a shootout that also left two hostages dead was wearing body armor and night vision goggles — and was on the FBI’s terror watchlist, according to reports.

A search warrant for the suspect’s south Austin home — the scene of Saturday’s deadly shootout — unearthed bomb-making materials inside, calling for help from the FBI’s Evidence Recovery Team, according to KXAN.

“Cutting instruments, body armor and any tactical gear to include firearms were all said to be worn or used by the suspect,” reads the warrant, which noted that it’s “not uncommon for people with a gun, body armor or night vision to make homemade explosives.” — NYPost

If only he’d been wearing one of those red hats, the FBI might have caught up with him sooner.

Motive has not yet been announced, but…

Three who were found dead in the hostage situation have been identified as Eman Ahmed El Nemr-Nassar, a mother, Ahmed Mohamed Nassar, 35, her son and Riad Mohamed Nassar, 32, her other son, by members of Austin’s Islamic community.

It is not clear which of the sons was the shooter. — DailyMail

Muslim community?

Bomb-making materials?

A recent and very public call for radicalized Islam to strike out at targets around the world?

We may not have all the answers yet, but it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to know where to begin our search… and it SURE ain’t MAGA-land.

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.

Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.

This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
