In 634 AD, Muslim forces conquered Damascus and gained control of Syria, which was then part of the Christian Byzantine Empire. It has happened again. Jihadists are once more in control of the nation, and a new Caliphate has been born.
Last week Syria’s ruler Ahmad al-Sharaa signed a “temporary” constitution that puts the country under Islamist rule for five years during a “transitional” phase. If you actually believe that the boys in Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) al-Sharaa’s party really intend to ever relinquish power, you are dangerously delusional and probably should have someone else manage your personal affairs.

Grassley, Johnson Release Records Showing FBI Obtained Trump, Pence Cell Phones, Conducted Sweeping Interviews to Advance Anti-Trump Arctic Frost Investigation
WASHINGTON – In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made public legally protected whistleblower disclosures showing the FBI, as part of its Arctic Frost investigation, acquired the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other government officials. FBI agents used taxpayer dollars to crisscross the country and conduct dozens of interviews in support of the political probe.
The unclassified FBI records convey the alarming scope and speed of the FBI’s 2022 investigation of President Trump, which they dubbed “Operation Arctic Frost.” The investigation – launched by anti-Trump FBI agent Timothy Thibault in a breach of FBI protocol – formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump. Upon opening the investigation, Thibault vowed it would be “prioritized over all others in the Branch” and commented that “it frankly took too long for us to open this [investigation].”
“Sunshine is the best disinfectant,” the chairmen wrote to Bondi and Patel. “The American people deserve to know the complete extent of the corruption within the DOJ and FBI that led to the investigation into President Trump. We are making this information public for purposes of public accountability and to provide specific examples of past behavior at your institutions that must not be repeated. Quite simply, the public has a right to know what happened in Arctic Frost and, based on what we’ve exposed to date, the American public deserves better from its law enforcement agencies. It is important that every individual at your agencies maintains the highest level of professionalism, and does not allow political bias to motivate or guide their investigative work.”
Within weeks of opening Arctic Frost on April 13, 2022, FBI agents began taking aggressive action to build out their case. The following is a summary of some Arctic Frost investigatory updates, based on unclassified internal FBI records:

DISTURBING: DEI Activist Caught on Voicemail Allegedly Helping Minorities Cheat on Air Traffic Control Exams, Potentially Endangering Millions of Lives (AUDIO)
by Cullen Linebarger March 12, 2025
Shocking audio has emerged revealing how a radical DEI activist allegedly tried to help minority candidates cheat on an entrance exam and put lives in danger in the process.
The Daily Mail on Wednesday reported that Shelton Snow, a key figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), vowing to tell the minorities advance answers to the entry exam.
“There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of, and I am going to send that to you via email,” he told the candidates.
“I’m gonna send it to each of you, and as you progress through the stages, refer to those images so that you will know which icons you should select, he continues. “Now I have a good mind to send it to one of my HR representatives first and give them the opportunity to sign off on it before you actually click it.”
“I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question,” he added.

Trump Administration Celebrates a Whopping 50 Wins in 50 Days!
March 10, 2025 By Paula Bolyard
It’s been an epic 50 days, with President Trump and his administration notching win after win after win. And the president shows no signs of stopping. The White House sent out a press release on Monday celebrating the things Trump has accomplished for the American people, including securing the border, bringing back American hostages, reinstating with back pay soldiers who had been discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, and making it the policy of the United States that there are only two genders. He’s even giving us our plastic straws back!
Here is the complete list. I’m sure it will brighten your Monday!
1. President Trump secured the border in unprecedented fashion.
Illegal border crossings have declined to the lowest level ever recorded — down 94% from last February and down 96% from the all-time high of the Biden Administration. In one sector, illegal border crossings are down 99% over 2023.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin: “If Fox were to send me down there right now, I would have trouble finding a single migrant on camera.”
CBS immigration reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez: “Typically, when we go to the U.S./Mexico border, we at least see one group of people who are trying to cross into the U.S. illegally. We did not see a single migrant.”
2. President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law.
The law requires illegal immigrants arrested or charged with theft or violence to be detained — honoring the memory of Laken Riley, a Georgia college student brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant released into the country.
3. President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and drug dealers en masse.
The list of illegal immigrant criminals arrested and set for deportation include convicted killers, child molesters, child pornographers, gang members, terrorists, and drug traffickers.
4. President Trump’s tariffs are leveling the playing field for American workers.
President Trump restored a 25% tariff on steel imports and elevated the tariff to 25% on aluminum imports to protect these critical American industries from unfair foreign competition – a move praised by the Steel Manufacturers Association, the Aluminum Association, and businesses across the country.
President Trump unveiled a plan for fair and reciprocal trade, making clear to the world that the United States will no longer tolerate being ripped off.
5. President Trump is taking on the fentanyl crisis.
President Trump implemented an additional 10% tariff on imports from China in order to stem the flow of illegal aliens and fentanyl.
President Trump forced Mexico and Canada to address the fentanyl being trafficked into our country.
6. President Trump has secured billions of dollars in new U.S.-based investments.
Apple announced a historic $500 billion investment that will create 20,000 new U.S.-based jobs.
TSMC announced an unprecedented $100 billion investment in U.S.-based semiconductor chip manufacturing.
President Trump announced the largest artificial intelligence infrastructure project in history, securing $500 billion in planned private sector investment — with major CEOs agreeing it would not have been possible without President Trump’s leadership.

About That Film That Won Best Documentary at the Oscars
By Rebecca Downs March 5, 2025
Earlier this week, the 97th Academy Awards took place. In the category of Best Documentary, those involved with a film known as “No Other Land” took home the Oscar. Although the documentary began before the October 7, 2023, conflict between Israel and Hamas, the film about the Gaza region still allowed the filmmakers to go on a rant spewing anti-Israel propaganda when accepting their awards. Further, these same filmmakers were seen proudly displaying keffiyehs on the red carpet, which has become a terrorist symbol.

OCTOBER 8 | Official Trailer | In Theaters March 14, 2025
October8: Directed by Wendy Sachs. With Debra Messing, Michael Rapaport, Noa Tishby, Kirsten Gillibrand. The emergence of anti-Semitism on college campuses, in social media and on the streets since October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel.
On June 6, 2024, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore arrived at the International Space Station on a Boeing Starliner space craft for an eight-day mission. This was Starliner’s first crewed mission to the ISS. Safety concerns with the Starliner arose during its flight to ISS as the capsule experienced helium leaks and thruster malfunctions.
Boeing and NASA engineers spent several weeks determining if the issue could be fixed, but Starliner was ultimately not deemed safe enough to carry the astronauts. The capsule returned to earth, unmanned, in September 2024.
SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, was selected to bring the astronauts back again, and the rescue mission is upon us this week.
The scandal has put a spotlight on NASA, so Open the Books decided to take a closer look at its recent activities and spending.
Embedding DEI into every agency, even NASA, was a mission of the Biden Administration, and one which the new Trump Administration has vowed to reverse. We’re investigating the different ways DEI manifested itself at NASA and taking a deep dive into their spending through grants and contracts – especially with Boeing and SpaceX.
With an annual budget of $25 billion, NASA is one of the smaller federal agencies. But its mission is high risk and high visibility, so it’s crucial to understand its decision making and investments.
