July Fourth, 2026 marks America\u2019s 250th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary. Americans will be out and about at parades, fireworks displays, and other patriotic observances. President Trump will be at Mt. Rushmore, where fireworks, long prohibited, are making a comeback. Barbecue grills will blaze, we\u2019ll eat too much, and love every minute of it, thankful for being born American and thereby winning life\u2019s lottery in a nation of equal opportunity, where even an African American can become a trillionaire.<\/p>

Sadly, so many who bristle at being American will hold their own anti-American events. Some will commit acts of vandalism and violence, acts of mindless nihilism like damaging the Reflecting Pool and defacing national monuments.<\/p>\n

And there are those who would see the 250th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the most free, powerful, influential, and prosperous nation in history as a historic opportunity to destroy and kill. I speak of the thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Islamist terrorists and Chinese military in the country. We know the identities of few of them. We don\u2019t know where most are or their plans. They were welcomed into the country during the reign of Biden\u2019s handlers. Many were given loaded debit cards, cell phones, and plane or bus tickets to the destinations of their choice, and they went off the grid, under the radar. Waiting.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not here to sell Girl Scout Cookies. They\u2019re not the people praising America on social media during the World Cup. They\u2019re not planning to convert to Christianity and settle down with a nice American girl in a little house with a well-maintained lawn behind a picket fence. They\u2019re waiting for the \u201cgo\u201d order, and July 4 this year could be an opportunity that comes along only once every 250 years or so.<\/p>\n

On June 2, I wrote about the fact that Islamists are here, in America, and actively working toward violently conquering us.<\/p>\n

On June 6, I wrote about the interception of six camo-clad fit, military-age Chinese men at the border.\u00a0They weren\u2019t here to sell extended auto warranties.<\/p>\n

On June 7, I wrote about the arrest of a Hezbollah commander\u00a0who was working with Iran in plotting attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools and American financial institutions abroad and mapping an attack on a Manhattan synagogue.<\/p>\n

\n

Islam is fundamentally, violently incompatible with Western Civilization. It is not kidding when it proclaims America \u201cthe great Satan,\u201d and Israel \u201cthe little Satan,\u201d and promises to destroy both. Texas, for now, understands that. Illinois apparently does not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On June 21, I wrote about 25 Chinese caught by the Coast Guard\u00a0while trying to sneak into America in a speedboat. They didn\u2019t use that to cross the oceans.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve often written, Islamist terrorists are most likely to conduct mass attacks like those depicted in Kurt Schlichter\u2019s The Attack:\u00a0simultaneous attacks across the country by small terror cells, killing hundreds of thousands. Members of the Chinese military would most likely coordinate and conduct cyberattacks, biological attacks, and attacks on infrastructure, including the unguarded electric grid, water resources, dams, and refineries.\u00a0<\/p>

Most worrisome are attacks by small groups spread across the country at events where many Americans gather. Cells of 4-5 men, armed with automatic weapons, grenades, suicide vests, and knives, could cause hundreds of thousands of casualties. They\u2019d kill until they ran out of ammunition or were killed by the police or armed Americans.<\/p>\n

They know the police aren\u2019t trained or equipped to deal with military weapons and tactics. They know there are few police, and because they\u2019re planning to be killed to get their virgins in paradise, they don\u2019t have to worry about collateral damage. The police do. They also know the police can\u2019t be everywhere.<\/p>\n

Even as they pretend to negotiate and constantly violate ceasefires, the Iranian Islamists threaten us. Are they sufficiently crazy to carry out mass attacks on American soil that would surely result in their total destruction? Don\u2019t they realize that even their American Democrat\u2014Communist–allies wouldn\u2019t be able to stop our retribution? Are they sufficiently sane to understand that, or is their fanaticism so great they’d risk national and personal destruction? Will some of their sleeper cells become impatient and carry out attacks without orders?\u00a0<\/p>\n

What better attack venues than July 4th<\/sup>\u00a0parades, stadiums packed with Americans watching fireworks, July 4 concerts in the park, and so many more? And what better terrorist symbolism than scores of dead and wounded Americans littering the ground on our 250th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary?<\/p>\n

We need to recognize what people who want to kill us know: we are our own first responders. No one is responsible for our lives and the lives of those we love but us.<\/p>\n

We pray that July 4 will be a peaceful celebration of America. But just in case it isn\u2019t, keep your heads on a swivel and keep your weapons close. It’s the American thing to do.<\/p>\n
