According to information from the office of Senator Ron Johnson (Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs) terrorist Omar Mateen was posting messages to social media in the time between the initial attack and the time SWAT teams rushed the Pulse nightclub:

“I pledge my alliance to (ISIS leader) abu bakr al Baghdadi … may Allah accept me”.

“The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” …“You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes … now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”

It just got a little harder for President Obama to deny the terrorist attack motive.
Earlier Senator Marco Rubio alluded to it.  Just now Florida Senator Bill Nelson confirmed that Senate Intelligence Staff are confident the Pulse Nightclub Attack was an “ISIS inspired attack“. –link–
Senator Nelson quotes Dianne Feinstein who is a member of the exclusive “Intelligence Gang of Eight” oversight committee.   In addition Representative Adam Schiff (House Intelligence Committee) states Omar Mateen “pledged allegiance to ISIS“.

Four Days Ago, June 8th, media reports surfaced that ISIS had warned FBI and DHS that Florida’s East Coast was going to be the location of attacks. (see here)  ISIS published a list of over 600 names within Florida, tightly focused on Palm Beach County (See Here).

Jim Hoft has written a brief recap of June 3rd, “The Day America Changed”, and he is absolutely correct.

Contemplate what he is summarizing because I can tell from my own reading of the CTH comments, most people are not pausing to think through the fundamental issue(s) here.
The inflection point is now in your rear view mirror. If conflict is uncomfortable for you, it’s too late.  Every approach you previously took to express your political views and positions is now completely irrelevant.  We’re going to the mattresses, we are well beyond the point of talking about if we are going to the mattresses – it’s happening.
If you, we, us, don’t change the way we accept the intent of the ideological opposition, we lose.
Period.

Following another Donald Trump rally, the Bernie Sanders anarchists and Hillary Clinton supporters, undocumented Democrats, once again turned to violent confrontation.  LA Times reporter Matt Pearce shared his experience:

Mexican Flags and Middle Fingers were the dominant theme amid the Democrats on display.

The patriotic Trump supporters carried/waved American flags, while the Clinton/Sanders supporters carried Mexican flags and attempted to confront a very diverse group of Donald Trump supporters. (more…)

CINCINNATI, OH (WCMH/NBCNews) – An Ohio woman is in hot water after police said she called in a fake robbery to avoid paying her tab at a Gold Star Chili restaurant.
“Unbelievable” is one word workers at the Gold Star Chili in Mount Healthy used to describe Wednesday night, NBC affiliate WLWT-TV reports.
“She had came in, put her stuff at the table, went to the bathroom, came back, sat down as if she was going to dine in,” said Rubee Naser, the store’s manager.
Naser said Destiny Watson, 21, ordered two crispy chicken burritos, a big salad and a drink. The bill was a little more than $20. (more…)

Great interview with Paul Manafort.  [Chris Matthews is an insufferable dolt 99% of the time.  Then there’s the 1% of the time when he’s an ordinary dolt.]

Chris Matthews responses to Manafort in this interview made me remember a rather large forum speech Matthews gave about Trump in the fall of 2015.
It is really well worth watching. In the video below Chris Matthews is speaking to an exclusive DC based audience of limo-liberals.
The Aspen Institute Washington Forum has an average audience member income $850k /yr.  That’s about $15,000 per week.  (These are the beltway people paying $5k to have their Christmas Trees decorated professionally each year).
We’ve previously mentioned how disconnected the DC, MD and VA beltway communities are. In this video the elites are trying to understand what’s going on in flyover country amid the rubes. Matthews is explaining to them who those torch carrying vulgarians are.

There are a few media presentations as well as the video of the District Attorney press conference below.  It is interesting to note something slipped out that many researchers previously speculated.  Champion was previously misleading the public during media interviews.

Because of the intimacy of the crime, and because it was a lone individual (who never said a word), there wasn’t any “street talk”.  The absence of chatter was clearly stated early and often by both DA Champion and Sheriff Darby (mostly Champion).

However, Champion repeatedly said the investigators were chasing numerous tips called in – he actually said “hundreds of calls”.  In the presser today Champion admits there were only two calls ever made to the tip line:

 […]  “We hoped early on that some people would come forward, but we got nothing. Even after the reward went up to $54,000, we only got two calls.”

Here’s video of the presser:

Originally Written in April 2015 – Re posted exactly as previous outlined:

Until substantive and factual information reveals something divergent I’m sticking to my initial researched opinion that Marco Rubio’s campaign bid is purely a decepticon maneuver to plow through the field, and aid his mentor Jeb Bush.

(Via Allan Wall) Republican candidate Marco Rubio, in a chat with Jorge Ramos, in Spanish, made it clear that, on this issue, any differences between a President Rubio and President Obama would be insubstantial.

Matthew Boyle of Breitbart (a valuable source on immigration issues) has written up a report on the interview:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said he believes that President Barack Obama’s first executive amnesty for so-called DREAMers—the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)—is “important” and he won’t reverse it himself if elected president. He delivered these remarks in a Spanish-language interview he gave to Univision’s Jorge Ramos.

So here is Rubio, speaking in Spanish to Jorge Ramos, a principal proponent of the Hispanicization of the U.S., telling him this. (more…)

(HatTip Weasel Zippers) And the reason he wanted it not to be Muslim’s, or Islamic Jihad, was simply because he was worried it would offend the Islamist sensibilities…

Samuel L Jackson […]   Jackson says he empathizes with innocent Muslim-Americans who have fallen under the veil of suspicion because a few other people who share their religion have committed atrocities against their countrymen:

“When that thing happened in France, we were sitting there going, ‘Oh, my God, these terrorists!’ And I can’t even tell you how much that day the thing that happened in San Bernardino — I was in Hawaii — how much I really wanted that to just be another, you know, crazy white dude, and not really some Muslims, because it’s like: ‘Oh, shit. It’s here. And it’s here in another kind of way.’ Now, okay, it happened on an Army base and it happened somewhere else. But now? It’s like they have a legitimate reason now to look at your Muslim neighbor, friend, whatever in another way. And they become the new young black men.”

Someone tell the MSM it wasn’t the Amish after all… and now the University is trying to figure out what his motive could possibly be – go figure.

CALIFORNIA – A student who ‘smiled’ as he stabbed four people inside a classroom at the University of California, Merced, before he was killed by police has been identified.

Faisal Mohammad, a freshman from Santa Clara who majored in computer science and engineering, was shot dead by officers after his violent campus rampage on Wednesday morning, that has reportedly drawn praise from ISIS.

The 18-year-old, described as antisocial by his roommate, was supposedly ‘having fun’ as he lunged at his classmates.

He is said to have slashed a fellow student in the throat with a hunting knife before a construction worker thwarted the attack.

Police are still investigating the contents of a backpack he was carrying at the time, while a witness said a bomb squad detonated something near the scene. (more…)
