Interesting developments.  If you look at Mateen’s apartment pictures shared via Daily Mail, it would appear nothing was amiss.  No obvious signs of packing up, no removal of personal items, nothing which would suggest a long-term pre-planned exit for either Omar Mateen or his wife Noor Zahi Salman and their 3-year-old son.
The apartment appears as if someone was just gone to work, etc. – SEE HERE –
Now witness reports are surfacing that Omar Mateen was a regular visitor to the Pulse nightclub [Orlando Sentinel], and the LA Times has a witness report from a patron who exchanged messages with him via a Gay Dating App.
(LA Times)  […]  Kevin West, a regular at Pulse nightclub, said Omar Mateen messaged him on and off for a year before the shooting using the gay chat and dating app Jack’d.
But they never met – until early Sunday morning.
West was dropping off a friend at the club when he noticed Mateen – whom he knew by sight but not by name – crossing the street wearing a dark cap and carrying a black cellphone about 1 a.m., an hour before the shooting. (more…)

There has been some confusion as to what exactly took place in Orlando Florida at the Pulse nightclub and the exact sequencing of events.  While the specific details of the attack are still cloudy, today during a press conference Police Chief John Mina provided a little more clarity.
The video is prompted to Mina’s remarks (03:43).

It is very common for businesses to hire ‘off duty’ uniformed police officers for various security needs. Typically officers sign up for these private sector jobs as additional income.
Businesses pay overtime rates and the police departments coordinate the logistics and send the billing.   It appears Pulse nightclub had one of these uniformed, armed, yet off-duty officers at the entrance when the attack began.  This officer engaged Mateen and called for additional officers.

Many people are critical of FBI Director James Comey today for conflating the attack and obfuscating the motives and intent of terrorist Omar Mateen.  Many seem shocked by what seems to be Comey’s lack of willing recognition.

IF YOU HAVE WATCH THAT VIDEO – Most of the shock behind the criticism can then be reconciled when you remember the FBI and DHS were warned about the attack at least three days in advance,  -AND-  additionally the terrorist Omar Mateen was working for a security contractor G4S, which is also a contractor for The Department of Homeland Security.

It just got a little harder for President Obama to deny the terrorist attack motive.
Earlier Senator Marco Rubio alluded to it.  Just now Florida Senator Bill Nelson confirmed that Senate Intelligence Staff are confident the Pulse Nightclub Attack was an “ISIS inspired attack“. –link–
Senator Nelson quotes Dianne Feinstein who is a member of the exclusive “Intelligence Gang of Eight” oversight committee.   In addition Representative Adam Schiff (House Intelligence Committee) states Omar Mateen “pledged allegiance to ISIS“.

Four Days Ago, June 8th, media reports surfaced that ISIS had warned FBI and DHS that Florida’s East Coast was going to be the location of attacks. (see here)  ISIS published a list of over 600 names within Florida, tightly focused on Palm Beach County (See Here).

Oddly, the Florida State and Federal DOJ/FBI officials in Orlando did not bring a Christian, Jewish or Mormon faith leader to the press conference for an update on the terrorist attack. Nor did they explain why they only requested attendance by a Florida Imam.  Hmmmm….
(Via Gateway Pundit) Orlando officials invited Imam Muhammad Musri, the president and senior imam of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, to speak to reporters. This was the first press conference held by Orlando officials after the massacre. No Christian or Jewish leaders were invited to speak to reporters.
Of course the pathetic Imam says “do not sensationalize” and “more gun controls are needed”:

Understand the scope of this story and you understand the reason why the entirety of the progressive left has been harping on the Trump University story.  They are desperate to keep eyes and attention from the San Jose violence and the city officials who factually facilitated and organized it.  Of course the insufferable GOPe and ‘Conservative Punditry’ are stupid enough not to see that. 
Newly released arrest reports, from one of the only charges filed so far in the San Jose mob attacks against Donald Trump supporters, contain some harrowing accounts written by under cover police officers who witnessed the onslaught.

Below you will find an 8 page pdf of police statements outlining the violence they witnessed.  Example:

Under Cover San Jose Officer #1: […] Throughout the afternoon and evening I watched several individuals wearing “Trump” articles of clothing getting punched, kicked and pushed.
Under Cover #2: […] I was assigned to the Covert Response Unit and dressed in a plainclothes capacity. … As time came closer to 18:00 more protesters arrived; mostly younger males and females between the ages of 14 to 25.  … some began burning the United States flag in the middle of the street. It became inherently dangerous for anyone wearing a hat or T-Shirt in support of Trump.  I observed Trump supporters being spit on, objects being thrown at them, punched, kicked and even robbed of their personal belongings.  In these instances I observed victims running for their lives because protesters began adopting the mob mentality and attacking people.  I was unable to make contact with any of these victims due to my undercover capacity and fear for my own safety as well.

These are just two of many almost identical officer written reports found in the arrest records of individuals detained as an outcome of their violent behavior.

CNN broadcast a one hour special yesterday called “Why they hate us” discussing why adherents to the most authentic interpretations of Islam hate the United States.
Overall, the broadcasted presentation by Fareed Zakaria was good; actually, very good.  Perhaps one of the best one hour presentations in quite a while.  The content was engaging, the historical references were well presented and well outlined…. until a fatal flaw. The common, disconcerting and uncomfortable fatal flaw.

In what can only be viewed as an effort to downplay the scope of the threat, Fareed Zakaria claims the existence of only 100,000 jihad-minded Islamic followers world-wide.  Fifteen minutes later he presents the 2014 terror victim outcome of 30,000 dead in a single year from Muslim Terrorist Attacks; most victims also Muslim – as if that matters.
Zakaria would have the viewing audience believe that 100k world-wide adherent followers, could inflict 30,00 fatalities.  Common sense, not prone to co-dependency, would refute such an obtuse argument. (more…)

Yesterday Walid Shoebat made a very strong case outlining a possible cause for the crash around an Islamist attack directly carried out by the pilot of the Egypt Air flight 804.

More evidence is arising to show that the pilot of Flight 804 went suicide. He did some bizarre things. He converted the plane into a makeshift mosque, used the equipment to tell passengers the direction of Mecca. Had a last supper and said “farewell” as if ‘we who are about to die salute you’. He called his brother before take-off telling him to ‘pray for him’ as he was going for martyrdom. He had connections with one of the most radical preachers and terror supporters in Egypt. (link)

Shoebat then lays out the facts leading to his outlined conclusion. What he outlines is a very disturbing possibility.  I strongly suggest everyone consider his outline.

Some other evidence surfaces today which aligns with the Shoebat thesis. The Daily Mail is now reporting the pilot actually spoke to air traffic controllers about a fire and smoke and his intent to take urgent action to attempt a crash landing: (more…)
