DOJ Attorney Who Threatened Americans for Speaking out Against Islam, Now Leading Chattanooga Jihad Investigation

By Tim Brown. The Obama Department of Justice attorney who threatened Americans with prosecution and imprisonment for speaking out against Islam has been placed in the lead position of investigating Thursday’s Islamic jihad attack in Chattanooga that left at least one officer wounded and four US Marines dead.

Following his comments back in June 2013, Bill Killian, attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, held a town meeting to push his agenda in Manchester, Tennessee. Though he issued a not-so-veiled threats against non-Muslims, in violation of the protections of the First Amendment, there was a massive uprising and protest of his meeting.

Now, we find Killian in the center of leading what he calls “an act of domestic terrorism.” However, he is simply a taqiyyah advocate as he would not designate this an Islamic attack, even though the Islamic State had pointed out that it was before the attack occurred. This demonstrates, just as the Garland Texas jihad did, that the violations of the Constitution through illegal surveillance by the federal government does not prevent jihad attacks. Men with guns do stop them though.

In response to Killian being at the center of the investigation, Pamela Geller said, “How ironic that it is Bill Killian — who was the most reluctant official to speak at today’s press conference. William Killian is the Department of Justice official who vowed to criminalize social postings on Facebook and Twitter.”

“We held a protest against Mr. Killian, and thousands joined us here,” she added. “Killian should be removed from the case. He is incapable of conducting a sharia-free investigation.” (Read more from “DOJ Attorney William Killian Threatened Americans for Speaking out Against Islam – Now Leads Chattanooga Jihad Investigation” HERE)

Marine Sergeant Jeremy Knauff to Islamic State: You Will Learn Soon Enough of the Brotherhood of Marines

By Tim Brown. In the wake of Thursday’s jihad attack on a military recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee that left four United States Marines dead, one Marine says he has had enough and has gone to social media to inform the Islamic State, “You wanted attention, and yesterday, you got it. Only, you chose the wrong people to seek that attention from.” He was talking about the United States Marines.

Marine Sergeant Jeremy L. Knauff, who served honorably in the United States Marine Corps for four years after graduating from high school, took to Facebook to rip the weakness of Barack Obama and how all the jihad attack has done is paint the target even bigger on those tied to the religion of pieces.

“You did not get the attention of our weak President,” Knauff wrote. “He tweeted his support for your medieval holiday following your cowardly attack. You did not get the attention of our useless and corrupt Congress. They were too busy lining their pockets.”

“When you attacked those four Marines, you got the attention of every one of our 186,800 active duty Marines, along with every Marine who ever served,” he continued. “You just stirred up hate, discontent, and malice within a group of people who relish the idea of engaging the enemy.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Trump Slams McCain; Wants More Christians to Immigrate to US

By Leo Hohmann. Donald Trump, married three times, the ruthless business titan in reality TV shows, might not appear to be the knight in shining armor that attracts Christian voters in the crowded 2016 Republican primary. . .

But is there something in those steely blue eyes and mop of blond hair, with all his worldly success at making money, that could make him the warrior of the right?

Trump started rising in the polls after making the comment that Mexico is “not sending their best” to America and that among those coming in illegally are a high percentage of rapists, murderers and other violent felons.

But that’s not all Trump is saying. He’s also speaking up for Syria’s persecuted Christians.

Though you won’t read about it in the establishment media, Trump has been making repeated comments about persecuted Christians in Syria and the difficulty they’ve had in coming to the West as refugees or asylum seekers.

At a speech in Las Vegas last weekend, Trump said those persecuted for their Christian faith by Muslims in Syria ought to be brought to America. And, if he were president, he’d make sure they get a one-way ticket to that safe haven. (Read more from “Trump Slams McCain, Wants More Christians to Immigrate to US” HERE)

Trump Calls McCain ‘Dummy’ as Feud Intensifies

By Dan Nowicki. The bad blood between Sen. John McCain and Donald Trump is getting worse, with the celebrity real-estate titan attacking the veteran Arizona Republican on Twitter Thursday as a “dummy.”

The feud began after McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, distanced himself from Trump’s much-criticized comments that illegal immigrants from Mexico bring crime and drugs to the United States and are “rapists.”

It escalated Saturday when Trump, the controversial 2016 GOP presidential candidate, mocked McCain as an “incompetent” politician at a campaign rally at the Phoenix Convention Center. The pro-Trump crowd booed the mention of McCain’s name. After the event, Trump denounced McCain as potentially vulnerable in his 2016 Senate re-election race . . .

State Sen. Kelli Ward, R-Lake Havasu City, on Tuesday launched a primary challenge against McCain.

“This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me,” McCain, a longtime immigration-reform champion, said referring to Trump. “Because what he did was he fired up the crazies.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Most New California Licenses Go to Illegal Aliens

California officials say more than half of new drivers’ licenses issued in the state this year have gone to people who are in the country illegally.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles reported Friday it has issued roughly 397,000 licenses under a state law that allows people who are in the country illegally to apply for licenses to drive. The law went into effect in January . . .

Supporters of the law say giving licenses to people regardless of their immigration status makes the roads safer for everyone. Opponents say people who are not in the country legally should not be rewarded. (Read more from “Most New California Licenses Go to Illegal Aliens” HERE)

Leftist Rag Announces They Are Banning Donald Trump From Political Coverage

By Matthew K. Burke. Leftist news site The Huffington Post announced on Friday that it will censor Donald Trump from political coverage from the publication, even though recent polls show Trump is currently leading the field of over a dozen 2016 Republican presidential candidates.

Sounding like a Soviet politburo, Huffpo’s Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim and Editorial Director Danny Shea released the following statement, a clear attempt to discredit the GOP frontrunner, stating that Trump’s candidacy is a “sideshow” and claimed they would not “take the bait.”

Instead of unbiasedly reporting news about Trump’s campaign alongside other presidential candidates, Huffpo announced that news about Trump would be relegated to the “Entertainment” section “next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch the Moment Surfer Mick Fanning Was Attacked by Shark During Competition

Professional surfer Mick Fanning survived a shark attack during an international competition in South Africa on Sunday after fighting off the animal with his fists.

The Australian, 34, was paddling his board out of the shallows when the animal’s fin emerged alongside him.

During a heart-stopping 15 seconds broadcast on live television, Fanning was knocked off his board and tussled with the unidentified species of shark, using his board as a shield as he punched the animal on the back.

Back on dry land, he said: “I was just sitting there and I felt something just get stuck in my leg rope, and I was kicking trying to get it away. I punched him in the back”.

“I instantly just jumped away. It kept coming at my board and I was kicking and screaming. I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth.” (Read more from “Watch the Moment Surfer Mick Fanning Was Attacked by Shark During Competition” HERE)

Clintons Facilitated Donor’s Haiti Project That Defrauded US out of Millions

A federal agency rushed to approve funding for a Clinton donor’s sham Haiti recovery project that ended up defrauding the U.S. government out of millions, according to court transcripts and internal government documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Miami businessman Claudio Osorio, who is currently serving 12 years in federal prison on fraud charges, leveraged his relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton to help his company InnoVida obtain a $10 million loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) for a Haiti housing project in 2010.

OPIC is an independent government agency that submits its annual budget requests through the State Department and works closely with the agency.

Bill Clinton helped arrange for a high-powered Florida law firm to represent Osorio during loan negotiations with OPIC, according to court testimony. An internal OPIC memo said Hillary Clinton was prepared to marshal State Department resources to assist with the donor’s project.

InnoVida was supposed to use the funding to build houses in Haiti after the earthquake, but it defaulted on the loan and the homes were never built. (Read more from “Clintons Facilitated Donor’s Haiti Project That Defrauded US out of Millions” HERE)

6.6 Million People Just Learned the Hard Way How Much It Costs to Be Uninsured Under Obamacare

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known also as Obamacare, was signed into law by President Obama in March 2010, but it didn’t go into effect until Jan. 1, 2014. Despite the more than three years for insurers, states, the federal government, physicians, and consumers to prepare for the coming overhaul of our healthcare system, there were still plenty of hiccups (and challenges) when the calendar changed over.

Pretty much from the get-go of the first enrollment period there were technical issues with the online marketplace servers and software that prevented consumers from completing the enrollment process. But even bigger challenges would be fought at the legal level with the constitutionality of the individual mandate penalties coming into question in 2012, and more recently the challenge to the federal government’s ability to divvy out subsidies to enrollees on behalf of 34 states. The defense proved victorious in both challenges, which made it to the Supreme Court . . .

The individual mandate is the actionable component of Obamacare that requires individuals to purchase health insurance or face a penalty. The penalty in 2014, the first year Obamacare was fully in effect, was the greater of $95 or 1% of your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). This year the penalty for not having insurance, which is officially known as the Individual Shared Responsibility Payment (ISRP), jumps to the greater of $325 or 2% of your MAGI. In 2016, another sizable spike to the greater of $695 or 2.5% of your MAGI. In 2017 and beyond the penalties rise on par with the level of inflation.

Why is there even an individual mandate penalty in the first place, you wonder? When Obamacare became the law of the land, one of the stipulations was that insurers could no longer pick and choose who they wanted to become members. In other words, people with preexisting conditions couldn’t be turned away. This meant that through the process of adverse selection some sick and elderly consumers who are costly to insurers would be quick to enroll, while healthier young adults, which are needed to help offset the high costs of the elderly and terminally ill, would possibly shun being forced to buy insurance. The individual mandate penalty was put into place in order to encourage younger adults to enroll, otherwise they’d have to pay a penalty come tax time. . .

Just how many people were required to pay the penalty in 2014? According to a report released by National Taxpayer Advocate via the IRS, some 6.6 million people owed an ISRP due to not having health insurance. What may have come as a big surprise to many of those who owed was the fact that the penalty was the greater of $95 or 1% of their MAGI, not the lesser. Thus, the average penalty paid by these 6.6 million people was double the lower-bound figure, $190, since their MAGI often came into play when calculating their penalties.

Obama Is Collecting Unprecedented Personal Data on Americans and Here’s Why

A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.”

Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites.

This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make “disparate impact” cases against: banks that don’t make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don’t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.

Big Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.

So civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of “racial disparities” and “segregation,” even if no other evidence of discrimination exists. (Read more from “Here’s Why Obama Is Collecting Your Personal Data” HERE)

Carson: Black Voters ‘Waking up’ to GOP

Ben Carson on Saturday said African-American voters are “waking up” to the possibility of supporting GOP candidates for office like himself.

“I think there’s a lot of people who are waking up,” the neurosurgeon-turned-presidential candidate said at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa.

“I met with a group of black pastors yesterday and people are waking up in droves,” he continued. “I think they’re realizing what’s been happening here.”

Carson said he converted to the Republican Party after growing up and going to school in Democratic strongholds during the Reagan administration.

“I started listening to Ronald Reagan … and I said he doesn’t doesn’t sound like that,” he said, noting he had heard horror stories about conservatives during his entire upbringing. (Read more from “Carson: Black Voters ‘Waking up’ to GOP” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Lambastes Republicans in Arkansas Homecoming

A Democrat is not likely to win this state in the 2016 presidential election, not even one with the last name Clinton.

But on Saturday, Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to Arkansas where she and her husband began their political ascent, delivering a fiery critique of Republican policies and a pep talk of sorts for Democrats who suffered dramatic losses in the midterm elections.

Mrs. Clinton lambasted Republicans as “the party of the past” and tried to portray the extreme comments of one candidate, the businessman and reality TV star, Donald Trump, as representative of the entire party.

“There’s nothing funny about the hate he is spewing at immigrants and their families,” Mrs. Clinton said of Mr. Trump who addressed Arkansas Republicans in Hot Springs, Ark. on Friday. But, she added, of the other Republican candidates, “The sad truth is if you look at many of their policies, it can be hard to tell the difference.”

Mrs. Clinton denounced comments made by Mr. Trump (who she referred to as the “Republican frontrunner”) about Senator John McCain’s war record and she said it was “shameful” how long it has taken other Republican candidates “to start standing up to him.” (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Lambastes Republicans in Arkansas Homecoming” HERE)
