Back in May 2015 we presented the following consideration. Against today’s news, we are presenting it again:
(May 2nd 2015) The professional grievance crowd has all of the Marxist planets aligned. They have the DNC approved black female mayor Stephanie Rawlings; they have their rock star activist attorney Marilyn Mosby, and they have a strategically planned opportunity to win by losing. (more…)
The jury is now deliberating in the case against Officer William Porter. Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake has activated emergency operations in anticipation of the verdict – in case of riots. Legal observers think it could go either way depending on the emotional influence in the jury. (Legal Insurrection has a breakdown of the closing arguments HERE)
(Via Baltimore Sun) Prosecutors said in closing arguments Monday that Officer William G. Porter‘s failure to help Freddie Gray turned a police arrest van into a “casket on wheels,” while Porter’s defense attorneys said the state’s case was based on theories and asks jurors to fill in the blanks.
While prosecutors had hinted at it during trial, Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Michael Schatzow directly accused Porter of lying about his account and suggested a “coverup.”
Defense attorney Joseph Murtha said there were high legal bars for the state to reach with its evidence in order for jurors to convict — bars they had failed to reach. (more…)
President Obama and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson at the heart of the issue.
( WASHINGTON DC ) A secret U.S. policy that prohibits immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas was reportedly kept in place over fears of a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations.”
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end the policy, even though several other officials in the organization pressed for such a policy change, ABC News reported Monday. (more…)
Two reports from Europe highlight the ongoing concerns of additional terror threats. In the first report from Switzerland the Swiss authorities have arrested two Syrian males traveling in a vehicle containing trace explosives:
(Via AP) GENEVA — Two Syrians arrested in a vehicle containing traces of explosives have not been clearly linked to four men with suspected ties to the Islamic State group who are wanted by Swiss authorities, the Geneva prosecutor said Saturday.
The arrests of the two Syrians on Friday came amid stepped-up police patrols in Geneva. Authorities raised the security vigilance level and announced a hunt for at least four suspects allegedly linked to IS who were believed to be plotting a “specific” attack in the city.
This sickening story is wrong on so many levels. First a woman is beaten, brutalized and raped by an Islamist while no-one tries to stop it. Then, to make matters worse the Islamopologist media allow the rapist’s family to make excuses for him.
The police and FBI would NOT be releasing their identities if this was NOT a security threat. This release increases the likelihood there is something very sketchy afoot…
The men have been identified as Mirwais Kohistani and Shirzad Rohullah, Channel 2 Action News reported. The two are among a group of 23 from Afghanistan who have been at the base since February and both are assigned to the 81st Fighter Squadron.
But a federal investigation was launched when Kohistani and Rohullah but did not show up for work Monday, Moody said in an emailed statement. (more…)
Remember the recent reports of five men with Syrian passports trying to gain entry into the U.S. through Honduras/Mexico, and the three men stopped in St. Maarten…
Trump is right – WE NEED TO STOP EVERYONE COMING IN – until this can all be digested and figured out.
(Via ABC News) With the U.S. and other countries on high alert for ISIS attacks, American authorities are warning the terror group’s followers may have infiltrated American borders with authentic-looking passports ISIS has printed itself with its own machines, according to an intelligence report obtained by ABC News.
The 17-page Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Intelligence Report, issued to law enforcement last week, says ISIS likely has been able to print legitimate-looking Syrian passports since taking over the city of Deir ez-Zour last summer, home to a passport office with “boxes of blank passports” and a passport printing machine. Another passport office was located in Raqqa, Syria, which has long been ISIS’s de facto capital. (more…)
Against an increasingly obvious level of support for a common sense freeze on Muslim immigration the progressive apparatchik within the bowels of NBC/WSJ rush to the typeset to deflect the damage.
We’ve written extensively before about pollster Mark Murray, NBC, and their agenda-polling promotion, so there’s no reason to re-hash that again. However, the latest attempt is so far beyond absurd the light from where absurd emanates won’t catch it for a year.
NBC broadcasts a poll showing 57% of Americans opposing candidate Donald Trump’s proposal to halt Muslim immigration until our political representatives can figure out “what the hell is going on“. (more…)
He just keeps growing – and Growing – and GROWING. A single candidate waging war against the entire political and media apparatus. His simple objective: Put America First.
Donald Trump is absolutely crushing the field in the latest poll from South Carolina (full pdf below). With an additional Fox caveat – Trump’s poll numbers are actually even larger, around 38%+, since his statement asking for a temporary pause on Muslim Immigration:
The entire media and political apparatus both Democrats and Republicans are in full meltdown mode over the scope of support Donald Trump carries. Yet nothing they try has any effect on diminishing his support.
Donald Trump carries two golden arrows in his masterfully constructed quiver:
♦ The first is TRUTH – he always shines light upon uncomfortable truth – simple truth known by the electorate and yet hidden by those who benefit from power.
♦ The second is his agenda – Trump’s only agenda is what’s in America’s best interest. Period. Nothing further.
Unafraid of the Truth; unafraid to own the downside to all of his positions; and only thinking about what’s in America’s best interest – no other candidate can compete. (more…)
The latest information from various media continues to paint an increasingly sketchy network of associations.
First, according to investigative leaks to NBC News the entire operation had been planned for several years. Both Syed and Tashfeen had been target practicing for quite some time and included discussions of the attack back in 2012:
San Bernardino terror couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik spent at least a year preparing for their terror attack, NBC News has learned, practicing at a local gun range and making financial plans for their family after their deaths.
And the husband may have discussed an attack as many as three years ago, law enforcement sources said Tuesday.
