Before I get into the main point of this story, here's a little something to put into perspective how much of a danger to the homeland the Biden administration's policies in the Middle East have on our national security (a threat worsened by the same administration's porous border policies):
QUESTION: "In four years before this, there were only 11 [individuals on the terror watchlist crossing the border] and suddenly there are 294 in the past few years — why?"

Doesn't that just pump you full of confidence?
Now, to the Middle East terrorism part of the equation.
This morning I spotted something that perfectly encapsulates the Biden White House:
