“What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” Lynch said. “We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State].”
Nudelman said in a statement to NBC News she never administered the test to Mateen and was not even practicing in Florida at the time when G4S ordered the evaluation.
“For better of for worse, Omar Mateen had every right to be a radical Muslim in this country, and every other citizen of America has the same right, despite of their religious beliefs.
A former classmate at Mariposa elementary school in Port St. Lucie, Florida tells CNN, Mateen once threatened to bring a gun to school and kill everyone. That was in fourth or fifth grade. He was nine or ten years old. The classmate could not recall what punishment Mateen received, but said it was “a very big deal at the time.”
Today the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) finally published its exhaustive report on the FBI‘s face recognition capabilities. The takeaway: FBI has access to hundreds of millions more photos than we ever thought. And the Bureau has been hiding this fact from the public—in flagrant violation of federal law and agency policy—for years.

The Wall Street Journal reports: The “dissent channel cable” was signed by 51 State Department officers involved with advising on Syria policy in various capacities, according to an official familiar with the document. The Wall Street Journal reviewed a copy of the cable, which repeatedly calls for “targeted military strikes” against the Syrian government in light of the near-collapse of the ceasefire brokered earlier this year.”
Steinberg recently traveled to Maxon Shooter’s Supplies in Des Plaines, Illinois, with intentions of purchasing a Smith & Wesson M & P 15 Sport II semi-automatic rifle.
Sheriff Demings said the boy’s father tried wrestling with the alligator as it pulled his son further into the water. The parents and lifeguard desperately searched for signs of the boy, but found none.
They recovered the boy’s body during my show today. Horrifying.
A British family has told of their terror after being ‘chased’ by an alligator at a luxury Disney World hotel – just weeks before a toddler was attacked at the same resort.
Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database of opposition research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach.
The White House reacted to reports that Russian hackers penetrated the Democratic National Committee’s computer network by complaining that Republicans have blocked additional money for funds to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity.
A recently released report confirms what Common Core critics have suspected all along: Common Core State Standards do not adequately prepare students for college-level work.
“If [Mr. Mateen] was not able to buy a weapon that shoots off 700 rounds in a minute, a lot of those people would still be alive,” the congressman said. “If somebody like him had nothing worse to deal with than a Glock pistol … he might have killed three or four people and not 50. It’s way too easy to kill people in America today, and we have to think long and hard about what to do about that.”
Mass public shootings, where the shooter intends to commit mass murder in a public place, has not “exploded” over the last five years, as frequently claimed in the media,
The death tolls change, the places change: Nine in a church, 23 in a restaurant, 26 in an elementary school, now 49 in a nightclub. The faces in the memorial photos change the most.
Fact: A decade long study, covering 84 mass public shootings, found that pistols were used 60% of the time. Rifles were used 27%. But that is all types of rifles, and so-called “assault weapons” (such as the AR-15 or civilian versions of the AK-47) are a subset of these.
Ok, saying Alan Grayson (D-FL) is a monumental idiot goes without saying. Whether it’s his potential ethics violations, his disgusting campaign tactics, his calling women whores, or his Ted Cruz birtherism … Alan Grayson is a disgusting person. Heck, even ethically challenged (Democrats at all costs) Harry Reid (D-NV) doesn’t want Grayson around. That should be all you needed to know about the guy, and I barely scratched the surface.
Grayson is, shall we say, factually challenged most of the time. This latest ludicrous statement, however, may be his most laughable yet.

Grayson, like other anti-Constitution liberals, ran to stand on the graves of the dead in the Orlando terrorist attack by a radical Muslim jihadi. In doing so, he made the utterly ridiculous claim that an AR-15 has a rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute.
It was not an AR-15 used by the jihadi.
No, the AR-15 can’t shoot anywhere near 700 rounds per minute.
Neither does the actual rifle used by the Homeland Security cleared contractor jihadi.

A very skilled shooter MIGHT get 60 rounds off in a minute with a magazine change … might. Your average shooter isn’t going to have the skill to do that. There’s a lot that goes into this that must be considered as well. Trigger finger fatigue, how long does it take to access the magazines, then to swap out magazines, aiming, etc.
A listener asked me to evaluate the feasibility of carrying 700 rounds of ammo.
Each 30 round magazine with 5.56 rounds weighs roughly 1lb. Sometimes slightly more, sometimes slightly less depending on the material the magazine is made from, and the types of rounds themselves. Then you have 8-10lbs for the rifle.
It is not only physically impossible to shoot 700 rounds from these rifles because of human anatomy and limitations, but the weapon itself wouldn’t survive the stresses and heat from firing 700 rounds non-stop.
So … Alan Grayson’s claim is utter malarkey, and pure nonsense.
Conrad Close from American Crossroads did offer Grayson a change to redeem himself from his clown act though.
Put your money where your mouth is Grayson. Take the challenge.
[Tweet theme=”basic-full”]@ConradClose has offered $50k to charity of @AlanGrayson’s choice if he can fire 700 rounds per minute from an AR-15[/Tweet]
I would like to offer props to ‘It’s Not News, It’s’ CNN’s Erin Burnett for mindlessly agreeing with the factually incorrect, and laughable statements Alan Grayson made. That’s true modern journalism right there.
Like I always say, these anti-Constitution nuts don’t know the difference between .40 and 40oz.
If you would like to learn more about this subject, and why ‘assault weapon’ bans are silly, watch Indiana Sheriff Ken Campbell demonstrate this very topic at the range.
EDIT:
Added the weight of the ammo per listener request.
In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom.
Saudi Arabia is warning it will sell off billions in American assets if the U.S. Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would allow victims of 9/11 and other terrorist attacks to sue foreign governments.
Judge Barbara Bellis ruled Thursday that a federal law protecting gun-makers from lawsuits does not prevent lawyers for the families of Sandy Hook victims from arguing that the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle is a military weapon and should not have been sold to civilians.
There are probably more than a few of us out there who have nodded off at work. For one sleepy FedEx employee, a seemingly harmless nap landed him in a bit of a bind when he woke up several states over.
