An Oregon state representative, who served over 29 years as a state police officer, is disappointed with the anti-gun rhetoric by President Obama and others following Thursday’s campus shooting in his state.
In remarks Thursday night after the shooting, Obama said: “This is something we should politicize,” adding that it is “a political choice that we make to allow [these shootings] to happen every few months in America.”
Republican Rep. Andy Olson, from central Oregon, disagrees with Obama. He told USA Headline News radio talk show host Russ Jones on Friday: “Let the community and let the state mourn. Don’t start with the politics immediately.”
Olson added: “There’ll come another day when we can take a look and evaluate and assess what has happened and what to do as a state here in Oregon to maybe better improve our gun rights, without infringing what we’re doing with the Second Amendment.”
He believes that the shooting at Umpqua Community College necessitates a review of the school’s policy of having an unarmed security guard and whether those students and others who have a conceal carry license should be allowed to bring their weapons on campus. “What is wrong with having a security guard carrying a firearm? We don’t know.”
The former president of UCC, Joe Olson, told the New York Times: “We talked about that over the last year because we were concerned about safety on campus,” he said. “The campus was split 50-50. We thought we were a very safe campus, and having armed security officers on campus might change the culture.” (Read more from “Oregon Politician Tells Whole Country What It Should Do After Shooting – Obama Didn’t Get the Message” HERE)

Crimes committed by illegal immigrants, whether as violent as murder or as petty as shoplifting, are not documented by the federal government.
Why? Well, because that would make the federal government look really, really bad. Meanwhile, we do know many crimes are committed each year by Pacific Islanders and Alaska Natives.
However, a little digging by Fox News has shed some light on just how bad illegal immigration is, not only for working class Americans, but for the country entirely when it comes to crime and violence.
The approximately 11.7 million illegal immigrants account for about 13.6 percent of all crimes committed in the country. Nearly 12 percent of murder sentences are credited to illegal immigrants, as well as 20 percent of kidnapping sentences and 16 percent of drug trafficking sentences.
Additionally, there are about 2.1 million legal or illegal immigrants living in the US with criminal convictions that are either in prison and being paid for by the American taxpayer or living free. (Read more from “Here Are the Shocking Numbers on Crimes Committed by Illegal Aliens” HERE)

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the 1965 “Hart-Cellar” immigration act, commonly referred to as “the Kennedy Immigration bill.” At the time, the bill was sold as a modest increase in immigration from the four decades of low immigration and some blatantly discriminatory policies. Americans were ensured that the bill would not fundamentally alter the character – political, social, or fiscal – of this country. At the time, Rep. Patsy T. Mink (D-HI) estimated, on average, less than 200,000 immigrants would be admitted per year and predicted that 82% would come from Europe. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach predicted the bill would induce a net increase of about 60,000 immigrants per year. [See CIS for more fascinating quotes and promises from political leaders at the time.]
A half century later, this bill turned out to be the most consequential piece of legislation in modern times and has irrevocably transformed America. Moreover, according to a new comprehensive analysis of immigration trends from Pew Hispanic, we have not even witnessed the peak from this unprecedented wave of immigration.
This blockbuster Pew report exposes trends in immigration that are not only antithetical to anything our Founders envisioned as it relates to immigration, but run contrary to a number of promises given by supporters of the 1965 immigration bill. As you read these statistics, keep in mind that nobody ever voted for this transformation in a transparent manner. Also remember, that these numbers are the reality under current law and the existing trajectory – the very system the majority of the political class deems too restrictive.
The top 9 shocking immigration statistics from this Pew report:
1. Current Immigrant Population: Almost 59 million immigrants have come to America since passage of the 1965 bill. At present, there are a record 45 million immigrants in the country, accounting for almost 14% of the population. In 1965, there were just 9.6 million immigrants, accounting for 4.8% of the total population.
2. Magnitude of Current Wave of Immigration: The 59 million-strong immigration wave dwarfs the 14.3 million immigrant wave during the “old immigration” of Germans and Irish in the mid-1800s and even the 18.2 million of the great wave from 1890-1919.
3. Projected Immigration: The existing record wave of immigration is just the beginning. By 2065, the immigrant population is projected to rise to 78 million, representing 17.7% of the population and accounting for 88% of total population growth. The combined population share of immigrants and their U.S.-born children will account for 36% of the entire population, up from the already high 26% of the American pie.
4. Origin of Immigration: Since 1965, 51% of all immigrants have come from Latin America, 30% from Mexico alone. In 1910, 89% of immigrants were from Europe; today that number is just 10%.
5. Ethnic/Racial Transformation: None of the previous waves of immigration changed the racial orientation of the country and only induced a small shift in ethnic composition. Not so, with the current great wave. In 1965, 84% of Americans were “non-Hispanic whites” and 4% were Hispanic. Now, just 62% are white and 18% are Hispanic. In 30 years, whites will represent just half of the population and by 2065 they will slide to just 46% of the general population. While we celebrate all sorts of ethnicities and races assimilating into American culture, nobody ever advertised the 1965 bill as a means of making whites a minority. In fact, Kennedy famously promised, “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society.”
6. Background of Immigrants: In 1965, 80% of immigrants were white; now just 18% are white, roughly half are Hispanic and a quarter are “Asian” (this includes the Far East as well as the Middle East in Asia).
7. Immigrant Income: While median adjusted family income of native Americans has risen from $46,611 in 1970 to $60,872 in 2013, immigrant families have seen a slight dip in income overall from $40, 935 to$39,567, despite the fact that immigrants have not been as negatively affected by the past decade of wage stagnation as native-born Americans.
8. Poverty: In 1970, the poverty rate among immigrants stood at 18%, only slightly higher than the 14% of the native-born population. Now the poverty rate among immigrants has grown to 28% compared to 15% among Native Americans.
9. Biased Towards Mexico: As of 2010, Mexicans were the largest immigrant group in 33 states, with immigrants from other Latin American countries winning first place in 6 other states. At the height of the first great wave in 1910, on the other hand, Germans held the distinction of the most represented immigrant group in just 17 states.

The Internal Revenue Service improperly withheld information requested by taxpayers 12.3 percent of the time, according to a new government audit.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TITGA) reviewed the IRS’ compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and discovered that disclosure specialists at the agency failed to properly respond to all requests, actions that the watchdog said may have violated taxpayer rights.
TITGA looked at a statistically valid sample of 65 FOIA requests for their review and found eight cases—or 12.3 percent—in which the IRS improperly withheld requested information. Under the Freedom of Information Act, federal government agencies must make records requested by the public available unless a specific exemption is given while providing an initial response to the request within 20 business days.
The eight instances discovered by the watchdog were found to improperly withhold “information of examination and collection activity and other tax return information that the taxpayer or authorized Power of Attorney should have received.” When this number is projected to the entire population of 2,809 FOIA requests that the agency closed between Oct. 1, 2013, through Sept. 30, 2014, it equates to 346 FOIA requests that may have been erroneously withheld from the requester.
Additionally, the audit found that the agency withheld four (7.3 percent) of the 55 Internal Revenue Code (IRC) information requests that were reviewed. (Read more from “This Is How Often the IRS Improperly Held Information From Taxpayers” HERE)

The Treasury Department said Thursday it would reach the debt limit a bit earlier than was expected by many on Capitol Hill.
Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew told Congress in a new letter that thanks in part to lower-than-expected quarterly tax receipts, the extraordinary measures to forestall breaching the debt limit, combined with the new revenues, will run their course just a week after the resignation of Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, takes effect . . .
“Based on this new information, we now estimate that Treasury is likely to exhaust its extraordinary measures on or about Thursday, November 5,” Lew wrote in a letter to Boehner.
“At that point, we could be left to fund the government with only the cash we have on hand, which we currently forecast to be below $30 billion. This amount would be far short of net expenditures on certain days, which can be as high as $60 billion.” (Read more from “Debt Limit Coming a Month Earlier Than Expected” HERE)
Flooding from Hurricane Joaquin will impact areas from South Carolina to Massachusetts even though the hurricane is unlikely to make landfall in the United States.
People should not let their guard down due to a shifting track of the hurricane as the risk to lives and property in this complex situation remains high.
A copious amount of moisture will unload very heavy rainfall along parts of the Atlantic Seaboard and the Appalachians into early next week. Strong winds, coastal flooding and beach erosion will occur and could be very damaging even in the absence of a landfall.
Hurricane Joaquin strengthened rapidly Wednesday into Thursday. Joaquin reached Category 3 status late Wednesday evening and Category 4 status on Thursday afternoon.
The storm will bring pounding surf, dangerous seas, strong winds, drenching squalls and flash flooding to the central Bahamas. Wind gusts could reach between 75 and 120 mph on some of the east-central islands. (Read more from “Major Hurricane to Impact Over 65 Million From South Carolina to Massachusetts” HERE)

It’s hard to overstate the impact on national security of what is commonly known as “The OPM Hack”. The secret files of 22 million individuals who have applied for security clearances — maintained by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) — was ripped off as cleanly as Michael Moore stealing cookies from a Girl Scout.
WHAT WAS THE ‘OPM HACK’?
Every person who applies for a security clearance fills out an electronic application called an EQIP or EPSQ, which are questionnaires of applicants.
Those applying for a Top Secret clearance must answer an extremely detailed questionnaire delving into every aspect of their personal life: marital affairs, drug use, criminal activity, and any other bit of information that foreign intelligence services might use to blackmail or compromise a cleared individual.
The OPM hack has been so devastating to clandestine operations, including NOCs (agents operating under non-official cover), that the CIA just pulled its agents from Beijing “for their safety”.
Virtually every current and future military and intelligence operation was put at risk by the OPM hack.
100% CERTAIN THAT HILLARY’S SERVER WAS COMPROMISED BY CHINA
Today the FBI has admitted they are investigating what other cyber security experts had already acknowledged: it is virtually certain that Hillary Clinton’s bathroom email server had been compromised by foreign entities.
“In my opinion there is a 100% chance that all emails sent and received by her, including all the electronic correspondence stored on her server in her Chappaqua residence, were targeted and collected by the Russian equivalent of NSA,” said former CIA case officer Jason Matthews, an expert in Russian intelligence.
A top intelligence official under Barack Obama — Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — noted that China was one likely attacker.
Kelly asked, “What do you think the odds are that the Chinese, the Russians hacked into that server and her e-mail account?”
“Very high,” Flynn said without hesitation. “Likely.”
“Really?”
“Yep. Likely. They’re very good at it. China, Russia, Iran, potentially the North Koreans. And other countries who may be ‘our allies’ because they can.”
HILLARY AND HER OPERATIVES KNEW HER BATHROOM EMAIL SERVER WAS INSECURE
In the most recent email dump, today we discovered that Clinton consigliere Cheryl Mills warned Hillary that use of her bathroom server was unprecedented and dangerous.
On a June 4, 2011 email chain between Hillary Clinton, her Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and senior aides Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan, all of whom used private email accounts, and in Clinton and Abedin’s case, Clinton’s secret server, Mills admits she was “someone who attempted to be hacked,” and warned against telegraphing the use of private email, as it “may encourage others who are out there.”
It is clear that everyone involved with the Clintons knew that they were violating the law and endangering U.S. national security.
NUMBER OF EMAILS DEEMED CLASSIFIED ON HILLARY’S SERVER DOUBLED TODAY
Even with the limited number of emails we’ve seen, the State Department revealed that over 400 messages on Hillary’s personal email server were classified.
Each violation constitutes a felony subject to imprisonment for up to 10 years.
As Democrat operative James Carville admitted earlier this year, Hillary employed a personal email server in order to avoid public scrutiny of her actions, be they her cash-for-favors deals, mishandling of classified data, or other illegal activities.
I BELIEVE THAT HILLARY CLINTON’S BATHROOM SERVER LED TO THE OPM HACK
My contention is that Hillary Clinton’s use of a bathroom server led directly to the OPM hack, which cyber experts have called “a digital Pearl Harbor.”
Here’s how the attack chain worked from the perspective of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
1. PLA operative compromises HRC’s email server.
2. PLA operative sends emails to various government officials using the accounts of HRC, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills or another senior official. Nothing gets the attention of a government apparatchik like an email from the likes of Hillary.
3. The emails contained a spear-phishing link with instructions to click on the link (e.g., “please check out these travel plans and see if they sync up with your schedule”) that installed malware on the targeted device. Predicted click-through rate: 70%+.
4. Targeted device is infected and then used to launch attacks inside applicable government network. These attacks take the form of reconnoitering on the compromised device (reading documents, emails, network drives, etc.); performing reconnaissance on the government network, and launching additional attacks.
In short, compromising Hillary’s email server was a gold mine for foreign intelligence agencies.
I can assure you we haven’t heard the last of tragic, needless compromises of America’s national security due to Hillary Clinton’s voracious lust for power and money.

Democrats on Wednesday accused House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of having admitted the Benghazi investigation committee was created to politically damage Hillary Clinton, after he seemed to link her dropping poll numbers to the committee’s work.
McCarthy, considered the front-runner to replace retiring Speaker John Boehner, made the remarks in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Tuesday night. Describing how he would be different as speaker, McCarthy, R-Calif., said he’d be a “conservative speaker that takes a conservative Congress that puts a strategy to fight and win.”
He added: “And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s un-trustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not …”
Democrats suggested his comments undermine claims by the committee’s leader and other Republicans that the panel is only seeking the truth about the deadly 2012 attacks at a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.
“I appreciate Rep. McCarthy finally coming clean and admitting what we have all known all along: that the Benghazi Select Committee was designed and created as a political attack tool to damage a potential Democratic presidential nominee,” Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., a Benghazi committee member and top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.

One illegal immigrant has been formally charged with capital murder and another is expected to be charged soon in connection with the execution of two men and the burning of the victims’ corpses in Texas. The two jailed illegal immigrants are said to be members of a fearsome gang called the Tri-City Bombers which has been tied to multiple massacres and high profile murders in the past.
This week, investigators with the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office arrested 22-year-old Edwin Adrian Salinas for his suspected role in the case. Authorities had initially arrested him on unrelated drug charges, but once in custody, homicide detectives were able to link him to the double murder.
Sheriff’s office spokesman JP Rodriguez told Breitbart Texas that once in custody Salinas admitted to investigators his role in the murder. Salinas also had scar tissue on his body from healed injuries that are consistent with him helping set a car on fire.
On Monday afternoon, Salinas went before a local justice of the peace who formally charged him with two counts of capital murder and set his bond at $2 million.
Also on Monday authorities arrested a second suspect who is expected to be formally charged later this week. (Read more from “Illegal Alien Accused of These Horrific Crimes in Texas Has NOT Been Deported” HERE)

Dozens of emails in the State Department’s latest release of Hillary Clinton emails contain information now deemed classified by the department.
The release includes nearly 3,900 new emails. Of them, more than 200 have a “B1” marking, which means they contain classified information – though some may be duplicates. . .
Almost all of the emails were “confidential,” the lowest level of classification, while three emails were declared “secret,” a mid-tier level for information that could still cause serious damage to national security if made public . . .
Anne-Marie Slaughter, director of State’s Office of Policy Planning, lamented in an email conversation that included Clinton on the antiquated nature of the agency’s IT infrastructure, writing “NO ONE uses a State-issued laptop and even high officials routinely end up using their home email accounts to be able to get their work done quickly and effectively.”
Former State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills replied, ““[A]s someone who attempted to be hacked (yes I was one), I am not sure we want to telegraph how much folks do or don’t do off state mail b/c it may encourage others who are out there.” (Read more from “Dozens of Clinton Emails in Latest Release Contain This Classified Info” HERE)
