“After deep study, careful thought and considerable soul-searching, I have decided I must oppose the agreement and will vote yes on a motion of disapproval,” Schumer wrote in a 1,600-word post on the website Medium.

“I will vote to disapprove the agreement, not because I believe war is a viable or desirable option, nor to challenge the path of diplomacy,” he added later. “It is because I believe Iran will not change, and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions while ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power.” (more…)

We received a copy of a July FBI alert two weeks ago.  However, out of an abundance of caution, and after careful review of the content, and after reading articles discussing the alert itself, we decided -out of an abundance of caution- not to promote the warning.

However, the information within the alert itself is now gaining additional dissemination; the cat’s ‘out of the bag’ so-to-speak.  With that in mind here’s an article about it, along with the actual alert itself (pdf format).

WASHINGTON DC – It was not meant for public disclosure but a news outlet got ahold of a chilling Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alert warning U.S. military families that they are being watched and confronted by Middle Eastern men.

The cryptic FBI memo was issued to law enforcement agencies in Colorado and Wyoming and says that Middle Eastern men are approaching families of U.S. military members at their homes in both states, specifically in Greeley and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The Middle Eastern men have also tried to gain personal information about military members and their families through intimidation, according to the FBI bulletin, which reveals that the victims reported feeling scared. (more…)

Well this adds a new twist to the Democrat platform of transparency.  For ObamaCare congress was told “you have to pass the bill to find out what is in the bill”.
Now, however, it appears the Democrat position has evolved. 
For Iran: ‘you have to approve the Iranian Nuclear Deal, and you’ll never find out what’s in the deal you are approving’.  
WASHINGTON DC – The only Obama administration official to view confidential “side deals” between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) admitted Wednesday she and her team have only seen rough drafts.
“I didn’t see the final documents. I saw the provisional documents, as did my experts,” said Wendy Sherman, a lead U.S. negotiator for the deal, said Wednesday at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
Sherman, under secretary of State for political affairs, said she was only allowed to see the confidential deals “in the middle of the negotiation” when the IAEA “wanted to go over with some of our experts the technical details.” (more…)

Breitbart has a brief outline of Nation of Islam’s head, Louis Farrakhan, speech in Miami last week.  He called for “10,000 fearless men” to “rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!”

“I’m looking for 10,000 in the midst of a million. Ten thousand fearless men who say death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny. Death is sweeter than continuing to live and bury our children while the white folks give our killers hamburgers. Death is sweeter than watching us slaughter each other to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy.

Death is sweeter. The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain. Retaliation is a prescription from God to calm the breasts of those whose children have been slain. So if the federal government won’t intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!”  (link)

This isn’t the first time Louis Farrakhan has used the ‘white folks giving killers hamburgers’ along with demands for violence.   However, the last time Farrakhan made these threats few were paying attention, and the audience was middle school children in Baltimore Maryland: (more…)

Update to this story:

NASHVILLE – The suspect wanted for shooting Memphis Police Officer Sean Bolton has been taken into custody, ending a massive manhunt.

According to WREG, 29-year-old Tremaine Wilbourn was taken into custody Monday afternoon.

Three separate U.S. Marshals said they had caught suspected police killer.

A Press conference is scheduled to happen shortly.

The Shelby county Sheriff’s Department wrote on their Facebook page:

At the end of the day it’s not about who got him, but that its over, for now.

Now we hope Officer Bolton can truly rest, that his family can begin to grieve, and that as a community we can all begin to heal.

To our brothers and sisters in Blue, we stand with you and are always here to help!

Yet again, the transparency here is obvious. Marilyn Mosby doesn’t want to allow a commission to analyze the root cause of the Baltimore homicide rate; why, because -at the core- it’s her earlier activist, anti-cop, decisions that are creating the hostile city culture.

Through her efforts, and those of the predominantly black city leadership, they have created a petri-dish of empowered lawlessness while simultaneously undermining the lawful authority of the police officers who are charged with controlling the chaos.

Progressives of every stripe always attempt to avoid the consequences from their ideological constructs; to include hiding and masking the outcomes.

Baltimore – Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby recently derailed an initiative to bring together city leaders, law enforcement commanders, academics, public health officials and others to identify real-time homicide trends and develop targeted responses — the latest crime-fighting program to falter amid a dramatic spike in violence..

After months of promising unprecedented transparency and collaboration with law enforcement partners, Mosby said she didn’t want to share information that others in the fledgling Baltimore Homicide Review Commission considered critical to success. She said providing information on ongoing cases could compromise investigations or jeopardize the safety of victims and witnesses. (more…)

Appears to be a vengeance murder. Apparently a man drove up to a courthouse in Mississippi as a defendant was arriving for a status hearing. Shot him once in the chest, laid down the weapon and surrendered.

 6:00 p.m.  Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong held a press conference at 6 p.m. today to update the search for the suspect who shot and killed Officer Sean Bolton. Here are the quick takeaways:

• · Suspect and driver fled the scene before officers could arrive
• · Police say Officer Bolton apparently interrupted drug transaction; scale and marijuana found in the car
• · Driver turn himself in, but he has since been released
• · 29-year-old Tremaine Willbourn is the wanted individual. Police believe he is the shooter.
• · Wilbourn was on supervised release for 121 month sentence for a bank robbery
• · Memphis police say Wilbourn should be considered armed and dangerous
• · $10,000 reward being offered by U.S. Marshals  (read more)

The transparency of motive is brutally obvious.  As Baltimore suffers the worst explosion of gun/homicide violence in 40 years, the race-based professional apologists have to move quickly to avoid the consequences from their own insufferable policy/agenda failures.

BALTIMORE – After 10 people were shot — seven of them in one incident — overnight in Baltimore following the city’s most violent month in decades, police announced Sunday that 10 federal agents will embed with the city’s homicide unit for the next two months.

The special agents detailed to the city from the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Secret Service represent a “flipping of the script of sorts,” Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said.

“That’s a bit unusual because local police departments — and Baltimore is no different — historically send detectives to federal law enforcement agencies to embed with their long-term investigations,” he said. (more…)
