Arrested in the Philippines in 2019, he is alleged to have trained to be a pilot in order to use a hijacked plane to crash into a building on American soil. Novel strategy!
The FBI describes him as a Kenyan national, but it is pretty clear that Cholo Abdi Abdullah, working for the Somali terrorist group al Shabab, is a Somali.
Maybe the FBI doesn’t want to say that so as not to offend the sensibilities of Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Yippee! The FBI worked really hard, did I say really hard, to nab another Islamic terrorist, but I could care less when they have not worked really, really hard to discover who are the terrorists who plotted and are still plotting to overthrow our election system and indeed our government.
I know it would have been sad if this pathetic creep had gotten away with hijacking a plane, but that pales in comparison to the Communist takeover of the United States happening before our eyes.
So is this little nugget thrown out to divert our attention?
Reader Cathy sent me the Justice Department press release last night, here, and this morning I searched for news on the FBI’s big-get and it is everywhere. Every Leftwing media outlet has the news***, probably front page, happy to distract us from the real terrorists behind the Democrat Party and their Chinese overlords.
As usual, the UK Daily Mailhas a report with a photo of Cholo Abdi Abdullah.
“Thanks to the outstanding investigative work of the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the FBI’s global partnerships with law enforcement agencies around the world, Abdullah’s plot was detected before he could achieve his deadly aspirations.” Whoop-de-do! How about using our global partners to find the plotters against our election system!
Feds charge Kenyan al-Shabab terrorist with plotting 9/11-style attack on American city: Jihadi trained as a pilot and was arrested in Philippines with a gun and a bomb
As usual the Daily Mail has a handy summary at the top of its story.
Cholo Abdi Abdullah allegedly spent years training to carry out a 9/11-style attack; he pleaded not guilty to the charges in a New York court Wednesday
Abdullah, who has been in custody since 2019, was extradited to the US Tuesday
He allegedly took orders from al-Shabab commander behind 2019 Nairobi attack
He researched ways to enter the US and how to hijack a plane, prosecutors say
Abdullah faces multiple charges and if convicted 20 years to life in prison
It is not clear which skyscrapers or cities were part of the alleged plot
But the acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney called it ‘a chilling callback’ to 9/11
I’m waiting for a mugshot(s) of the major plotters, the terrorists, behind the coup to overthrow our country.
***Search the Somali Islamic terrorist’s name and see what I mean about the widespread coverage.
If you have been attempting to follow conservative news for at least the last decade, you probably originally followed Drudge. Well, forget Drudge. Something weird happened there and it’s not worth looking into, but somehow Drudge sold out.
Here are a few sites available as an alternative. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it’s a start.
And for news on immigration, I recommend Borderhawk.
In addition, one of the sites I visit from time to time is Survival Pulsewhich collects an interesting mix of new posts every day from the prepper/survival blogs.
Update! Looks like Lin Wood must be reading the prepper blogs too!
Better to be safe than sorry.
Make sure you have PLENTY of water, food, flashlights & batteries, candles, radio, 2nd Amendment supplies, & a plan to meet with leaders of your communities.
Of course you have likely already figured out that most patriots are moving to Newsmax TV and One America News (OAN) for cable news.

I covered the news of Montana beef producers’ (with Republican Senator Daines apparent instigation) plans back in 2017 atRefugee Resettlement Watch and warned that if China built (or financed a slaughterhouse in the state of Montana) it would not be a source of employment for local low skilled workers, but would be a draw for more refugee labor.
I also said that I would expect the Chinese to send in many of their own workers as well.
Daines won reelection on November 3rd, but in the lead up to the contest, the Democrats blamed Daines (and Trump) for ruining the deal (so far at least!).
Montanans must be watchful because apparently snuggling up to do business with China is a joint venture of both political parties.
Here is the newsfrom the Billings Gazettefrom October explaining where that deal stands now (emphasis below is mine):
Democrats brand beef deal a Daines blunder
The Montana Democratic Party says a trade-war-plagued sales agreement between the Montana Stockgrowers Association and online China grocer JD.com has all but fallen apart, for which Democrats blame U.S. Sen. Steve Daines.
In a press conference this week, Democrats said the agreement between the state’s largest cattle association and JD.com had produced nothing after three years. Three Montanans who currently own cattle or have owned cattle in the past shared their disappointment.
Trade disputes with China have stifled the sale. The Montana Stockgrowers Association said their agreement is still alive, despite a tough two years of trade disputes between the United States and China.
“This would have been a very big deal to us. We would have been able to sell 80,000 to 90,000 cattle through this deal to China,” said Ben Peterson, a Judith Gap-area rancher. “We should be able to count on our elected officials to keep their word, but Daines seems to not think so.”
The big deal Peterson referred to is a November 2017 agreement between the Montana Stockgrowers Association and JD.com, the world’s third-largest internet retailer behind Amazon and Google. The agreement stemmed from a meeting that September between Montana Stockgrowers Association President Fred Wacker and the Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai.
The meeting took place in Maudlow, northwest of Bozeman, and was arranged by Daines, who had presented a small cooler of Fred Wacker’s steaks to China Premier Li Keqiang during a trip to Beijing.
Rancher Fred Wacker
Wacker told Cui and members of the China Chamber of Commerce that the Stockgrowers wanted a sales agreement for Montana-branded beef. Those talks resulted in a memorandum of understanding between the Stockgrowers and JD.com for $200 million in cattle sales from January 2018 through the end of 2020.
Additionally, a $100 million investment in a Montana packing plant was part of the trade.
[….]
Several things have complicated the Stockgrowers’ beef agreement, President Trump being the first.
[….]
Further complicating the beef agreement was a shake-up of the JD.comhierarchy. The company’s president, Richard Liu, was accused of rape and arrested in Minnesota in August 2018. Liu was never charged, but a civil lawsuit followed. Liu resigned in late 2019.
[….]
Democrats didn’t mention JD.com’s scandal in their press conference. They focused on Daines supporting trade with China early, but more recently siding with Trump on the trade war. The senator’s support for China has been a part of the Democrats’ campaign messaging against Daines, as they promote the Senate candidacy of their own Steve, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock.
Democrats have branded Daines the “China Cheerleader,” at a time when U.S. sentiment toward China is low, particularly for Republicans. A Pew Research Center study in April found that 72% of Republicans had a negative view of China, as did 62% of Democrats.
[….]
Tyson was a potential processor for the first carcasses the Stockgrowers produced, a plan A, while the partners worked out the details of a meatpacking plant located in Montana. The packing plant plans got as far as siting potential locations.
[….]
“I guess in answer to your question, the China beef deal is not dead. It’s on hold and we’re still working on it,” Wacker said.
[….]
Former Montana U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, a Democrat, worked for 11 years to get China’s ban [they had banned US beef—ed] dropped. Baucus left office to become U.S. ambassador to China in 2014. Daines took up the ban after winning the seat Baucus vacated. That continuity is crucial to Montana agriculture, Wacker said.
A China-loving Biden/Harris White House could easily make Montana the new home of a Chinese slaughterhouse! Montana will get all the environmental problems along with the invasion of a socially and culturally disruptive migrant labor force!
One final note: I say this all the time at RRW, if you want to eat beef, buy from a reputable local grower. I traveled the West and Midwest a few years ago primarily to have a look at meat packing towns and the impact on the towns of refugee labor. Do not support the BIG BEEF globalist meatpackers—a driving force for importing migrant labor.
Earlier this year Dan’s Restaurant and Taphouse became the central organizing location for Black Lives Matter in Washington County, Maryland.
Update below!
Boonsboro, Maryland is a small rural town in conservative Western Maryland. It is near where I live and for the last 35 years I’ve visited friends there, gone to doctor’s appointments there and shopped in its small shopping plaza. It is a town where one could live a peaceful life—until now.
….Until a few obviously Leftwing activists associated with internationally famous and now wealthyauthor Nora Roberts (whose birth name was Eleanor Marie Robertson), began a campaign in support of Black Lives Matter.
In June, after George Floyd’s death in Minnesota, Roberts’ daughter-in-law, a co-owner of Dan’s Restaurant & Taphouse, Charlotte Aufdem-Brinke and the restaurant became the central location for Black Lives Matter organizing.
(Aufdem-Brinke is Nora Roberts’ first married name. Charlotte’s present marital status to her son Dan is not clear and doesn’t matter.)
Fine and dandy, Ms. Aufdem-Brinke is free to voice her opinions, organize for Progressive causes, and model her political views for her children.
However, it is what happened next that has many in the community outraged.
She apparently was a lead organizer behind a billboard that was placed prominently in town funded via a GoFundMe account where Aufdem-Brinke is the first donor listed ($500).
(The image below is the ‘corrected’ second billboard as the first one credited “the people of Boonsboro” for paying for the billboard.)
If you want to read the Battle of the Billboards by controversial local agitator Ryan Miner,see it here but just know that he calls local, long-time residents of the community “hayseeds,” and “Boonsboro’s finest happy-go-lucky hubcap shiners.”
Calling names is a universal trait it seems for Progressives pushing their agenda.
By the way, Miner was not always on the Left, but that is a story for another time.
This is what you really need to know—Progressive Dems cheat (duh!)!
Del. Parrott is a decent and honorable man, no wonder he would be surprised someone would play this dirty.
Aufdem-Brinke and fellow Progressives can put up all the billboards they desire, but somehow these Leftists who “model for their kids whose hearts are so pure” can’t seem to not cheat as we learned in October when it was discovered that someone affiliated with Black Lives Matter and Nora Roberts’ daughter-in-law, listed well-known local conservative Republicans as donors to the billboard fundraising campaign including 2020 Republican Congressional candidate Neil Parrott founder of the Hagerstown Tea Party.
From theHerald Mail less than two weeks before the November election:
Several Washington County Republicans’ names falsely listed as supporting BLM fundraiser
Several prominent Washington County Republicans say they have been falsely associated with donating to a Black Lives Matter fundraiser.
Washington County Republican Chair Jerry DeWolf sent an email Thursday morning to Washington County Sheriff Doug Mullendore stating he and several others were fraudulently listed as donors on a GoFundMe fundraiser to put up a Black Live Matter billboard near Boonsboro. He requested the sheriff’s office begin an investigation into the fundraiser organizers and “others who may have participated in this fraud.”
The email also was sent to The Herald-Mail, Maryland Republican Party Chair Dirk Haire and Maryland Republican Party Executive Director Corine Frank.
In DeWolf’s email, he said he assumed the act was a “politically motivated attack designed to harass and intimidate,” and he would “personally be interested in pressing the maximum charges available should (the sheriff’s) office find it warranted to do so.”
Of course, the sheriff found nothing criminal. Didn’t this raise identity fraud legal questions? (We have a weak sheriff here in Washington County.)
Del. Neil Parrott, R-Washington, who is a candidate to represent Maryland’s 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House, was listed as donating $50. He said Friday the donation was not made by him. He said he was made aware of the donation in his name and was surprised that someone would do that.
We must get it through our heads that playing dirty, cheating and lying is how the Left plays this game! The stolen 2020 Presidential election is a prime example of how far they will go.
Others listed as donors have confirmed the legitimacy of their donations, such as Charlotte Aufdem-Brinke, co-owner of Dan’s Restaurant & Taphouse. Aufdem-Brinke, who was the first donor listed, said Thursday that the donation for $500 was legitimate.***
Aufdem-Brinke said she liked the fundraiser’s message, saying it aligned with the Taphouse’s stance on inclusivity and ending a “hateful mindset.”
Message to local readers: No “hayseeds,” as Aufdem-Brinke’s pal Ryan Miner calls you, should spend a single dime at Dan’s Restaurant & Taphouse in Boonsboro, Maryland.
Message to national readers: GoFundMe can easily be manipulated by devious Dems who appear to have no moral compass and who obviously believe that the ends justify the means.
***See the GoFundMe account for the Boonsboro Black Lives Matter billboard and see who the legitimate donors are (after the Republicans were able to remove their names). How many are actually from Boonsboro?
I’ve created a whole new category here at Frauds & Crooksthat I am calling Leftists’ Dirty Tricks. It appears I will need it going forward.
Update!
Is this what the good folks of Boonsboro are supporting. This happened in Washington DC yesterday:
Happening now: BLM demonstrators in BLM plaza harass elderly woman and her husband. “F*** your grandkids! F*** you!” pic.twitter.com/tYRm1VwbqU
And Biden taps Awan’s collaborator Xavier Becerra for HHS boss.
“Congress Pays $850,000 to Muslim Aides Targeted inInquiry Stoked by Trump,” reads the November 25 New York Times headline. According to the story, the previously unreported settlement is one of the largest to resolve discrimination or harassment claims, in this case by people who “lost their jobs and endured harassment in part because of their Muslim faith and South Asian origins.”
Reporters Noam Scheiber and Nicholas Fandos give no date for settlement and do not explain why it was “previously unreported.” Congress reportedly made the payment but the only House member quoted is Florida Democrat Ted Deutch, a leading figure in Democrats’ charge that candidate Donald Trump was guilty of collusion with Russiaand a vocal proponent of impeaching President Trump.
“It is tragic and outrageous the way right-wing media and Republicans all the way up to President Trump attempted to destroy the lives of an immigrant Muslim-American family based on scurrilous allegations,” Deutch told Sheiber and Fandos. As they explain, the settlement was also “an attempt to bring a close to a convoluted saga that led to one of the most durable — and misleading — story lines of the Trump era.”
What started as “a relatively ordinary House inquiry into procurement irregularities by Imran Awan, three members of his family and a friend, who had a bustling practice providing members of Congress with technology support, was twisted into lurid accusations of hacking government information.” That side of the story could use more detail.
Of all the IT people in all the IT firms in all the world, House Democrats thought Imran Awan was best man for the job. Sometimes working from his native Pakistan, Awan and his family team accessed the computers of some 40 Democrats, including those on the intelligence and foreign affairs committees. Without their consent Awan and his team stashed the Democrats’ data on a server controlled by Xavier Becerra, chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
Capitol Police wanted a copy of the server but the one Awan produced turned out to be a fake. In February, 2017, Awan and his team got booted off the House computer network, but Becerra had already fled to California where Gov. Jerry Brown made him state attorney general. Becerra had nothing to say about Awan’s IT intrigue, and he got additional protection from federal judge Tanya S. Chutkan.
Interesting tidbit here:Shahid Imran Awan got here by ‘winning’ the green card lottery another immigration scam on the American people.
I wonder if there is more information about this case that the President might see fit to declassify? With the public no longer trusting the FBI/DOJ you never know what they might be hiding.
Now for your daily chuckle!
I have been itching for an opportunity to post the video of bumbling Biden announcing a big job for Becerra. Listen to him completely butcher the name and not even know that the Department of Health, Education and….. hasn’t existed since 1979!
It really is pathetic how the crooked Dems used this mentally incompetent man.
Not even “President Elect” yet and already filling imaginary cabinet positions with fictitious people… sure this was a fair & just election- nothing to see here! Exactly what is the department of “Health and education ggddhuuv”? pic.twitter.com/Im6FZWiQox
Yippee! The FBI worked really hard, did I say really hard, to nab another Islamic terrorist, but I could care less when they have not worked really, really hard to discover who are the terrorists who plotted and are still plotting to overthrow our election system and indeed our government.
