The Marines are looking for a few good planes, and their search has taken them to an Arizona boneyard where the Corps’ old F/A Hornets have been gathering dust and rust for years.
A former Brownsburg High School student was arrested Tuesday on federal terrorism charges after allegedly attempting to provide support to ISIS and travel overseas to join the terrorism organization.
Yusuf Abdi Ali was a commander during the Somali Civil War during the 1980s and has been accused of ordering the torture and executions of civilians in what has been called a genocide.
Despite all the “conventional wisdom” coming from cable news talking heads, you can find majorities of Americans who are in favor of banning travel and immigration from six majority Muslim nations. Syria and Iraq are at the top of the list for obvious reasons, being the homeland of ISIS, but Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya aren’t far behind. Even Saudi Arabia pulls majority support for a ban which is a bit more puzzling.
A few days ago, I wrote “Poll: Clinton’s lead over Trump slipping since Orlando” and now the Monmouth University poll shows the same thing: in a head-to-head contest, Clinton leads Trump by 7 percentage points, as opposed to 10 percentage points in Monmouth’s last head-to-head national survey, back in late March.
For Zach Lester, co-owner of Tree and Leaf Farm in Unionville, Va., farmers markets have traditionally been a gathering of the tribe as much as a collection of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables. They’ve been a place where true believers could make their weekly investment in the future of local and sustainable agriculture.
When the event went forward as planned, another video first obtained by Breitbart News — the one of the retirement ceremony itself — shows Rodriguez taking his position and beginning his flag-folding speech. Four uniformed airmen surround him, forcibly seize him, and roughly drag him out of the room, as he continues shouting out his speech over the heads of his assailants.
After a Goshen police officer saw 45-year-old Sherman Fuller behaving suspiciously near the Elkhart County Courthouse early Wednesday morning, the officer followed Fuller’s white pickup truck and pulled him over, citing a false license plate.
The answer, authorities say, is Michael Steven Sandford, a 20-year-old British citizen who was in the United States illegally after overstaying his visa. Sandford allegedly tried to pull a gun from the holster of a police officer at a Trump rally in Las Vegas on Saturday. He was arrested and later told the Secret Service that he had driven to the event from California and had been planning to kill the candidate for a year, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada.
Recall that Parent had accused MillerCoors of violating California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act and suggested that the company was intentionally trying to trick consumers into purchasing a “craft beer” made by a smaller brewery.
“I just hope that you do some truthful reporting and get to the facts and stay focused, at least for the incident and say your prayers for the victims. It is horrific and we all feel that same pain.”
Yet while lawmakers argued that their legislation would prevent future massacres, they had no definitive answer for whether it would have stopped the killing in Orlando, or whether the #FBI had simply let Mateen slip through its screening procedures.
A “design flaw” that caused the doors of a #Toyota SUV to unlock when the vehicle was placed in park led to the carjacking, kidnapping, and sexual assault of a woman, and to the subsequent hit-and-run murders of a mother and her three children, a #lawsuit alleges.
Then, instead of making a single dime, they crated the product of their labor to the One Blood donation center. The food and drinks were handed out, free of charge, to all the people who had lined up to donate blood.
In a memo, the Nevada Democratic Party said 58 Sanders supporters were denied because they either were not registered #Democrats by May 1 or their information — such as address, date of birth and name — could not be found or identified in time, and they did not respond to requests to provide that information.
#Bernie Sanders won Nevada Saturday after county conventions took the win from #Hillary Clinton. The Clinton and Sanders campaigns clashed at Nevada county conventions, and Sanders walked away with three county wins, including Clark County where Clinton had originally won the vote. This means that although Clinton got more votes on caucus day, Sanders will likely end up with more #delegates.
#Indiana#Governor#Mike Pence has taken a stance against President Barack Obama’s guidance that public schools should allow #transgender to use restrooms of their choice.
In an election season when political outsiders #Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have inspired passionate followings, perhaps Gerard Arthus should be no surprise.
The medal has been given since 1883 to those “whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the Church, and enriched the heritage of humanity.”
The Navy awarded #Silver Star medals in secret to two #SEALs for their roles in the controversial rescue of Army Pvt. #Jessica Lynch in Iraq in 2003, according to newly released documents.
I don’t write many local articles on my site because so many visitors are from around the country, and world, but this can’t go unsaid, and Facebook wasn’t a worthy forum for what I need to write.
So now elected officials in South Bend, who didn’t read the time consuming 4 page RFRA (Indiana Religious Freedom & Restoration Act), are referring to supporters of the bill as ‘violent‘. Irresponsible hyperbole like that leads to actual violence against peaceful people and their property.
Local Democrats should be thrilled there’s such broad bipartisan support for a Democrat authored anti-discrimination bill throughout the country. And the RFRA is an ANTI-DISCRIMINATION law. One that’s been on the books for 22 years, and has allowed exactly 0 cases of discrimination.
Ad hominem, and borderline seditious, rhetoric like this serves no useful purpose but to whip the ignorant up into a frenzy built on a bed of lies.
There are 31 states with similar legislation, 20 of which are direct versions of the Democrat law from 1993, Indiana is in this latter category. Several other states are considering this legislation as I write. The only legal challenge to the federal law came from a church who wanted to expand its building. Not from a discriminated against party. There is absolutely zero examples of the alleged evils of this law materializing in its entire 22 year history at either the federal or state level.
Politicians often use aggressive rhetoric to gin up support from their base, but when it crosses the line like this it must be confronted.
Over the past several years we’ve seen a new play added to the playbook of Democrats and special interest groups around the country. This new strategy is just a more aggressive application of existing strategy. Instead of just using the spin machine to apply pressure to the opposition, Democrats, race-hustlers, the gay mafia, and others (who often don’t represent the bulk of their demographics) incite violence by painting a false picture of not just discrimination, but life-threatening discrimination.
When you convince the simple-minded their lives are in danger, human nature of self-preservation kicks in.
We saw it in Sanford, FL, Ferguson, MO, New York City, NY, Michigan (during their RFRA battle), and to a lesser extent right here in South Bend recently (Breathe Easy). In all cases, violence, death, and/or property destruction resulted from community organizers and elected politicians spreading falsehoods/lies/myths to foment fear and hate in order to register voters, win elections, and bully good innocent people into submission. Their MSM allies obliged in spreading their message of hate. All based on a false premise of saving lives through civil rights.
Well, Sanford wasn’t about whites hunting blacks in the dead of night. Ferguson wasn’t about innocent blacks being hunted down by white cops. Michigan wasn’t going to let gays be discriminated against or die in the streets. New York wasn’t about racist white cops choking innocent black men. South Bend wasn’t about racist white cops supporting choking out black citizens. Indiana is NOT about legalizing any form of discrimination.
Yet politicians issue press releases calling for boycotts of their constituents who haven’t done anything but continue to do business as usual without a sticker on their business’s door? Businesses that have never discriminated against anyone since this law’s passage 22 years ago. Constituents who are still subject to the same anti-discrimination laws they were a week ago.
Calling for boycotts of constituents is bad enough, but labeling them as ‘violent’ is beyond any intellectually honest person. Not only has there been no discrimination, but none of the ‘violent’ constituents have committed any acts of violence.
And no, there is no plausible deniability that supporters of this bill weren’t referred to as violent. If you label the law violent, then you are labeling its supporters as violent by association.
The great irony with this post from a councilman, and mayoral candidate, is that he consistently defended the Ferguson rioters. Oh I know, he only defended the peaceful protesters, not the large number of violent ones. He just chose not to devote much energy to condemning their actions. Of course, the truth about what happened in Ferguson didn’t mean much. There was a narrative to push. He’s also the same politician who said ‘Breathe Easy’ shirts shouldn’t be sold, and could lead to violence. He supported ‘I Can’t Breathe’ shirts … again, largely based on a lie.
Meanwhile, these same politicians call for policies that will attract more businesses to South Bend. Yeah, nothing says ‘come to South Bend’ like boycotting local businesses who haven’t done anything wrong, and labeling them as ‘violent.’ Sign me up!
While this type of dangerous strategy has been infrequent throughout our history, we have seen it used regularly by tyrants throughout the ages to control populations by pitting them against one another. You create an enemy where none exist, and you manufacture a threat to one’s safety and rights where none exist. This rhetoric has no place in a polite civilized society. It certainly has no place in Indiana, St. Joseph County, or South Bend.
Que the predictably vitriolic, hypocritical and ignorant comments below …
A Fort Wayne doctor is under fire after patients died while in his care. The state attorney general is trying to get an emergency suspension of Dr. William Hedrick’s medical license. That hearing is set for Friday afternoon.
NewsChannel 15’s Megan Reust spoke with a former and a current patient of Dr. Hedrick. Both of these patients said they had very different experiences at his office. In one case, a man claims he was able to re-gain quality of life. A woman said the drugs he prescribed her led to a terrible addiction problem.
Toward the end of his 19 years in the National Football League, offensive tackle Lomas Brown noticed something that startled even a hardened veteran. It seemed as if almost every player he knew in the N.F.L. owned a gun. Brown said he saw guns everywhere. On team flights. In locker rooms. In players’ cars. In training camp dormitory rooms.
This will give you an idea of how gun control laws worked. Following the firebombing of his house in 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable. A decade later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
How’s that “may issue” gun permit policy working for you?
The NRA opposed these discretionary gun permit laws and proceeded to grant NRA charters to blacks who sought to defend themselves from Klan violence — including the great civil rights hero Robert F. Williams.
A World War II Marine veteran, Williams returned home to Monroe, N.C., to find the Klan riding high — beating, lynching and murdering blacks at will. No one would join the NAACP for fear of Klan reprisals. Williams became president of the local chapter and increased membership from six to more than 200.
CNN’s Roland Martin featured Fox Sports writer Jason Whitlock on his podcast this week. Whitlock, the writer Bob Costas credited for his revelation that America’s “gun culture” was responsible for Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher’s murder-suicide, likened the National Rifle Association to the Ku Klux Klan.
House Republicans’ “fiscal cliff” counteroffer to President Barack Obama hints at billions of dollars in military cuts on top of the nearly $500 billion that the White House and Congress backed last year, and even the fiercest defense hawks acknowledge the Pentagon faces another financial hit.
President Obama’s lead negotiator in the “fiscal cliff” talks said the administration is “absolutely” willing to allow the package of deep automatic spending cuts and across-the-board tax hikes to take effect Jan. 1, unless Republicans drop their opposition to higher income tax rates on the wealthy.
I’ve been critical of Republican tactics and messaging this week, so let’s give credit where it’s due: Moments ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor and offered an immediate vote on President Obama’s fiscal cliff plan, which shocked the Beltway late last week. (In case you’re keeping score at home, this was the surreal proposal that induced McConnell to laugh out loud as it was outlined by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner). Harry Reid quickly objected and shut the whole thing down, labeling the suggestion a “stunt.” Think about that.
