A fitting tribute today to memorialize the lost lives from the West Texas fertilizer plan explosion last week.   Thankfully President Obama attended the service and represented our nation in sending a nation’s prayers.

I’ll bust his chops when President Obama selfishly manuevers his activity based on ideological advancement;  But he should also be praised on this one for a fitting tribute to an American community in painful grief.   Well done Mr. President – and Thank You.

TEXAS –  President Barack Obama told mourners at an  emotional memorial service for victims of a Texas plant explosion that their  community is not alone at this time of great tragedy.

With a dozen flag-draped coffins of before  him, Obama said: ‘We’re neighbors too. We’re American too, we stand with you and  we do not forget.’ (more…)

Hat Tip WeaselZippers:   DUBAI –  An off-duty U.S. navy sailor wrestled a Dubai bus driver to the ground and beat him into submission after he tried to rape her at knifepoint on Jan. 19, a courtroom heard Wednesday.

The woman, 28, was on 24-hour shore leave in Dubai when she was attacked by a bus driver after he picked her up from the Mall of the Emirates shopping center.

“I noticed he did not take the main road and when I asked him he told me not to worry,” she said, according to the Daily Mail. (more…)

Oh, something is definately afoot with this one.   One would surmise, based on historical precendent, that something was about to be revealed the *administration* views as a risk to Progressive Advancement.  [more after article]

BOSTON, MA –  Regular viewers of Fox News are used to seeing popular host Megyn Kelly on their televisions every afternoon, but on Thursday morning Kelly made a special appearance during the morning to break some surprising information: according to her sources, the FBI was “shocked” to see a magistrate “waltz into” the hospital room of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and read him his Miranda rights.

So why were they shocked? According to Kelly, the FBI was under the understanding that they would get much more time with Tsarnaev under the “public safety exemption” before he was read his rights. Adding to the shock: the sources told Kelly agents were getting crucial information after only 16 hours of questioning and were making valuable progress. […] (more…)

Florida Attorney General, and friend of Benjamin Crump, {{*INSERT LOUD CONFLICT OF INTEREST FLAG HERE}}  Pam Bondi, has filed the State’s response to the Defense request for a Writ of Certiorari surrounding deposition of Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump.

AG Pam Bondi has previously outlined, at great length -and effort for political capital-  her close personal friendship with Benjamin Crump.   During the Martin Lee Anderson Case Pam Bondi worked as prosecutor on behalf of the State of Florida, while Ben Crump was family attorney for the Andersons.

In addition, current special prosecutor, Angela Corey, was a campaign manager and advocate for Pam Bondi during Bondi’s 2010 campaign for Attorney General.

Here is the response pleading filed with the 10th District Court of Appeals: (more…)

Under the premise expressed by Law Enforcement of “exigent circumstances” the U.S. Constitution’s 4th amendment deserves a revisit.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.  [Fourth Amendment – U.S. Constitution] 

The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and seizure (including arrest) should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it. The Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (more…)

Floyd Corkins, the shooter who attempted a mass killing at the Family Research Council at the ideological behest of the SPLC, is on trial.    The government said, in making its recommendation  for 45 years in prison, that if not for the security guard’s actions, Corkins ‘would have almost  certainly succeeded in committing a massacre of epic portions.’

(Via Daily Mail) The sandwich-heavy contents of his backpack may look amusing, but government prosecutors are demanding that the Virginia man who attempted a killing spree at the Family Research Council last year deserves a 45 year sentence.

Floyd Corkins II entered the the Washington headquarters of the conservative Christian lobbying group in August with nearly 100 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches stuffed in his bag as part of an elaborate plan to shoot as many people as possible. (more…)

So where do things stand?   

What happened to the release of the Martin Family VS. RTL Homeowners Association Settlement?     Wasn’t that supposed to be released around April 15th?…..  Or did O’Mara’s filing mess up that determination?

Next scheduled hearing date still scheduled for April 30th?

FYI, we will be following up with the M-DSPD Public Information Records request (FOIA) on Thursday if we do not hear anything over the next two days.

Last week we brought you the story of Abdul Rahman Ali Al Harbi, the Saudi exchange Student whose apartment was searched immediately following the Boston Bombing. Glenn Beck promised to reveal more information – and indeed he has….

Background points:

• A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the bombing
• As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi
• Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.
• An ICE official said a different Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.
• A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
• Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano
• Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted.  Sources close to the investigation also told him the Saudi is still set for deportation.
• New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi’s file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges
• Sources say the Saudi’s student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts
• Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed.

Monday morning Glenn Beck laid out what he knows about the Saudi connection to the Boston marathon bombings.  (more…)

STORY HERE

Once again, same storyline, same type of crime, and the same insufferable avoidance by the media to discuss not only the race of the perps, but also their intents and motivations.   Wash-Rinse-Repeat…. blah, blah, blah…..

It was another “Thrill Killing” – but the media just cannot grasp the intentional motive.

Six black teens all under the age of 17 shoot and kill a 34-year-old white male driving down the street in a suburban neighborhood of no particular consequence, for no apparent reason.    (….stop me when you get to the point where you’ve heard this before….)

The black shooter thugs?   One was 13, two were 14, two were 15 and one was 16-years old.

Here are the reports which outline the crime, discuss the random brutality, and in the most insufferable way – ponder what possibly could be going wrong.

Scott Herald (doofus prog-writer) –  […]  The motive? Authorities have described it as a carjacking turned lethal. As he stopped at the intersection of Keller Avenue and Hansom Drive shortly before noon on April 2, Boyer was shot at point-blank range.

Background of kids –  On some level, whoever raised those kids failed. Even if the others were only along for the ride, they didn’t know the value of human life, the very stuff Boyer dedicated his career to saving. (more…)
