OPINION โ€“ย The recent attack at a synagogue in Texas by a foreign-born Islamist terrorist is just the latest example that Team Biden is more interested in hunting conservative American political rivals than real terrorists. And its twisted ideological and partisan obsession is harming American security and our civil rights. Despite the fact thatย a recently arrived Pakistani-born British Muslim took Jewish hostages and demanded the release of a jailed terrorist called โ€œLady al Qaeda,โ€ senior FBI officials and President Biden initially absurdly insisted that no one knew the motive of the terrorist, Malik Faisal Akram.

Even as President Biden has halted construction of former President Trumpโ€™s border wall with Mexico and hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens swarm into the country, Biden is on a wall-building binge for himself. First, late last year was a security fence around Bidenโ€™s beach house in Delaware that will cost American taxpayers nearly half a million dollars. And now,ย this week, without explanation,ย itโ€™s a concreteย barrier on the North Lawn between the White House and the iron fence that already surrounds the presidential property.

On Thursday the FBI arrested the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, charging him and 10 others with seditious conspiracy. This is a significant escalation in DOJ efforts to connect the acts of violence that day with the broader effort by former President Trumpโ€™s supporters to block the electoral vote certification. The latest seditious conspiracy charges shows that the Biden DOJ is prepared to try to prove that these…
