PORTLAND, Ore. –  The leaders of an armed group who seized a national wildlife refuge in rural Oregon were acquitted Thursday in the 41-day standoff that brought new attention to a long-running dispute over control of federal lands in the U.S. West.

A jury found brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy not guilty a firearm in a federal facility and conspiring to impede federal workers from their jobs at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, 300 miles southeast of Portland where the trial took place. Five co-defendants also were tried one or both of the charges. (more…)

We followed the case against the Democrat Attorney General since it’s inception.  SEE HERE – SEE HERE – SEE HERE – SEE HERE – AND SEE HERE  Today, Kathleen Kane got a brand new set of bracelets:

(Via Daily Mail) Former Attorney General Kathleen Kane was sentenced Monday to 10 to 23 months in jail for illegally disclosing details from a grand jury investigation to embarrass a rival and lying about it under oath.

Kane was also sentenced to eight years of probation by a Montgomery County judge who said Kane’s ego drove her to take down enemies and break the law. (more…)

On October 11th a rather odd political memo appeared on the internet seeming to describe a democrat political/operational outline for Pennsylvania congressional district PA-08 (Bucks County and surrounding).

The memo itself was so over-the-top, almost everyone (including us) disregarded it. A keen political observer would notice immediately the construct of the memo seemed to reflect a strategy we have described for years as “the bathtub principle“.

The “bathtub principle” is essentially:  How do you hide the damage from a broken fish tank from your landlord?… bust the water pipe on the bathtub.

How do you hide extremist political operations?… flood the media cycle with over-the-top stories of fake extremist operations. etc…

Sharyl Attkisson described something similar in the following tweet:

“This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalizing property; it willfully threatens our community’s safety via fire, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation”

Fortunately, no one was injured in the attack. (more…)

I seem to remember a political candidate discussing this issue a few weeks ago. Previously candidate Donald Trump stated he would revoke visa privileges from any country who refused to accept repatriated U.S. deportations. Makes sense. Now this…
EL CAJON, Calif. — US authorities tried twice to deport the unarmed black man fatally shot by police in El Cajon, California, but his native Uganda refused to take him.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday in a statement to the Associated Press that Alfred Olango stopped reporting to officers in February 2015.  Spokeswoman Virginia Kice didn’t know if officers tried to find him after that. (more…)

This should be interesting. Very interesting. I’m curious to see if Alicia Stanley’s story is included. After all, she was Trayvon’s actual mother. If there’s a book tour, I might have to go ask Fruit and Candy some questions…

And so a week later the media begins to look into the troubled back story of Keith Lamont Scott, the man killed by police during a highly publicized armed encounter in Charlotte North Carolina which led to four days of riots and social unrest.
What do they find:

Charlotte […]  Records show briefly last year, Scott’s wife took out a restraining order against him.

“He hit my 8 year old in the head a total of three times with is [sic] fist….He kicked me and threaten [sic] to kill us last night with his gun. He said he is a ‘killer’ and we should know that,” she wrote on the form last October.

The union behind the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has stepped into the breech and announced their endorsement for Donald Trump for president.

NEW YORK, NY – Today, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council, the official union representing 5,000 federal immigration officers and law enforcement support staff made their first-ever endorsement of any candidate for any elected office. ICE officers are responsible for interior enforcement of immigration laws within the United States. The President of the National ICE Council, Chris Crane, issued the following statement on the union’s endorsement of Donald J. Trump:

“The men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are the last line of defense for American communities. Our 5,000 officers, underfunded and undermanned, are responsible for enforcing immigration laws in a nation of 320 million people. Our officers come into daily contact with many of the most dangerous people in the world – cartel members, gang members, weapons traffickers, murder suspects, drug dealers, suspects of violent assault – yet ICE Officers are unable to arrest or are forced to release many of the most dangerous back into U.S. communities due to unscrupulous political agendas and corrupt leaders.

On the second day of the protests turned riots in Charlotte North Carolina one of the protesting crowd was shot in the head and killed.  Initially the grievance community sought to blame the police or national guard who were responding for riot control. 
However, today the shooter confessed…
(Via Charlotte Observer) Rayquan Borum, the man charged with murder in a Wednesday night shooting during uptown protests over the police killing of Keith Scott, confessed to the shooting, a prosecutor said in court Monday.
Borum is charged in the death of 26-year-old Justin Carr, who was fatally shot during protests in uptown on Wednesday night.
Police said they found Carr with a gunshot wound in the 100 block of East Trade Street at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.  Carr was shot in the head, Observer news partner WBTV reported, citing a police report. (more…)

Last evening Fox News host Bret Baier interviewed Congressman Trey Gowdy about the Friday document dump from the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email system.  The response from Chairman Gowdy is essentially the same reaction as everyone else who has a reasonable understanding of the events.
The most concerning aspect within all recent discussions is an acceptance we must all reach that the FBI Director James Comey specifically knew the DOJ (Loretta Lynch) was not going to prosecute anyone involved in the scandal from the outset.
With the knowledge in mind that his FBI investigation needed to structurally come to a conclusion, which would be conducive to dove-tailing the preconceived DOJ intent, the Comey investigation began handing out the DOJ’s mutually beneficial immunity agreements.  This FBI action essentially guaranteed Secretary Clinton would be immune from DOJ prosecution.

The conclusion reached by Representative Gowdy is almost identical to the conclusions drawn by our own research, and by the Observer yesterday, and by the Thompson Timeline report last week.  The FBI investigation was a sham.
