An Egyptian court has sentenced former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to life in prison while simultaneously passing down death sentences for six co-conspirators.
Those who followed the 2011 Islamic uprising in Egypt saw the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton support the Muslim Brotherhood and their candidate Mohamed Morsi.

President Obama was thrilled with the Morsi election and immediately called him with congratulations.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Cairo to express the administration sentiments and well wishes personally.
Unfortunately it did not take long before Morsi began deconstructing the secular social constructs, disbanding the Egyptian court system, and attempting to institute Sharia Law.
Thousands of Coptic Christians were slaughtered after Morsi took control and empowered the Muslim Brotherhood to attack his political enemies.
As president, Mohamed Morsi opened the Egyptian jails releasing hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, including Mohamed Al Zawahiri the brother to al-Qaeda’s leader in Afghanistan Ayman Al Zawahiri.

The Ben Carson video takes a little set-up to understand the back story.

The candidacy of Donald Trump has forced the various factions within the GOPe to reinforce their bunkers. Each group now trying desperately to retain their influence and affluence, as each group has experienced sunlight on their intentions.
This is a very positive outcome. Because -as anyone who has ever engaged a large and complex organization will tell you – effective executive leadership first needs to understand the internal working networks within it. This approach includes understanding relationships before effective leverage is applied to modify the organizational goals.
Within the DC UniParty power and self-serving financial influence groups we generally find:

• Donohues Clan – Those who encamp with a priority of: The Wall Street agenda, spending, and immigration.  [Ryan, Flake, McConnell, Rubio, McCarthy, Pelosi, Reid, Grassly, Portman, Whitehouse, Murray, Cornyn, Bennet et al].
• The War Mongers – Those who encamp with a priority of global financial benefit from interventionist activity and military contracts [McCain, Graham, Ayote, Corker, Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin, Collins, Blunt, Cotton, Burr, Hatch, Royce, Engel et al].
• The Litmus Clatch – Those who encamp with a priority of Crony-Consitutional / Moral authority [Cruz, Lee, Scalise, Huelskamp, Manchin, Paul et al]

Within the various camps – House and Senate members may blend in/out depending on the days topic and the current political agenda.  Each representative trading votes and support outside their ideological group for favorable future outcomes on subject matter within their preferred circle of influence.

Well, let’s just admit right up front, you could not have a better name than “The Lion Guard“, to organize a biker rally to protect Donald Trump.

(Via KTAR News) PHOENIX — A group of bikers said it plans to protect supporters from possible violence at a Donald Trump rally scheduled to be held in Phoenix on Saturday.
“We’re going to stand between them and any protesters that come onto the property and hopefully protect them from any bodily harm, should it get to that point,” Cindy Perrin with Lions Guard Arizona said.

The rally is expected to begin Saturday about 4 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the Arizona State Fairgrounds near 19th Avenue and McDowell Road.
The protest will be held at nearby Encanto Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Good Grief, put this in the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot file. The Orlando terrorist wasn’t just exhibiting warning flags, he was blasting off big flashy warning flares.

As an outcome of a very concerned resident meeting at PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, the location where Omar Mateen worked as a security guard, the county sheriff shared a rather disturbing revelation.
According to the county Sheriff, Ken Mascara, Mateen was reported to his security firm G4S and the FBI for threatening a local deputy and stating he could have al-Qaeda kill the police officer’s family. He then went on to praise Nidal Hasan the Fort Hood shooter.
(Via TC Palm) […]  Frustrated residents at a resident meeting Wednesday night, which was attended by at least 200 people, bombarded Drew Levine, G4S president of secure solutions in North America, with their concerns — among them, how Mateen flew under the private security firm’s radar.
Mateen in 2007, as part of the G4S hiring screening process, underwent a standard psychological exam — named the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory — and a background check, its representatives said. The state also screened Mateen every two years in order for him to keep his private security license. Beyond that, G4S does not conduct yearly background checks of its employees; rather, 15 percent of all employees are randomly checked each year, representatives said.

House Speaker Paul ‘Omnibus‘ Ryan is quoted in a Huffington Post interview as threatening to sue President Trump if he attempted to initiate his proposed halt on Muslim immigration:

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump’s claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.

Ryan said he wasn’t sure of the “legal question” of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own as president. (more)

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers”, Ryan says.  That’s rather strange, because there’s a disconnect.  When President Obama declared his November 2014 “executive action on amnesty” or DAPA, neither Paul Ryan nor any other body of congressional authority attempted to sue the president.
