Urgent Warning: Cops Beware ‘Black Guerrilla Family’ Attacks

Law enforcement officials in California have been warned about attacks by the “Black Guerrilla Family” gang, which has called for violence against officers on the street and in prisons as part of “Black August.”

The warning to law enforcement was issued on Wednesday, according to I-Team Reporter Dan Noyes via local KGO-TV in the San Francisco Bay area. The report states that a law enforcement source expressed to Noyes a desire to communicate the dangers facing law enforcement. The report on the source’s information read, in part, “In his words, when it hits the fan, you’ll know the reason why.”

Trump questions Clinton's mental stability

Donald Trump on Saturday sought to attach to Hillary Clinton one of the concerns that some have about him, portraying her as a mentally unstable person who is unfit for the presidency.

"She took a little short-circuit in the brain. She's got problems," Trump said, zeroing in on Clinton's comment last week that she had "short-circuited" an answer related to her honesty in discussing her email server.

"Honestly, I don't think she's all there," said Trump, who spoke during an evening rally in Windham, N.H. "I think the people of this country don't want somebody who's going to short-circuit up here."

Tapper: Oops, Hillary did it again!

“Is that true?” CNN’s Jake Tapper asked last night about Hillary Clinton’s repeated claims that James Comey’s FBI investigation vindicated her claims of innocence. “Did FBI Director James Comey testify that the repeated comments Hillary Clinton had made to the public about her private e-mail server, quote, ‘were truthful’?” It’s the pause and the glare Tapper gives that makes the succeeding “No” all the more delicious.

Not that it’s stopping Hillary from continuing to lie about it, however:

Syrian Refugees Resettled Hours Away From Wealthy DC Suburbs

According to data from the U.S. State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, almost all of the Syrian refugees resettled in Virginia since October have been placed in towns with lower incomes and higher poverty rates, hours away from the wealthy suburbs outside of Washington, D.C.

Of the 121 Syrian refugees placed in Virginia so far, 112 have been placed in communities at least 100 miles away from the nation’s capital; 105 were placed in cities where median incomes fall below the state average.

The D.C. suburban counties of Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington are all among the nation’s wealthiest and, according to U.S. census data, collectively have roughly 1.7 million residents. The three counties have resettled a grand total of nine Syrian refugees, all nine of whom were placed in the city of Falls Church.

The other 93 percent of Syrian refugees in Virginia were all placed at least 100 miles away from the nation’s legislators: Charlottesville (116.9 miles away, according to Google Maps), Harrisonburg (130 miles away), Newport News (171 miles away), Powhatan (137 miles away) and Roanoke (240 miles away) received the rest of the state’s Syrian refugees.

Syrian Prof: Arabs Migrate for ‘Sluts’ and Welfare, Attack When They Don’t Get It

A Syrian professor has asserted that Arab migrants see “slut” German women as fair game for assault and warned that the country is set to see “big social conflicts” as a result of Angela Merkel and EU open border policies.

Prof. Bassam Tibi said that the mass sex attacks in Cologne were a result of the migrants’ “value system”: furious at not being given a luxury lifestyle, they intended to “humiliate” Germans.

The professor, who now lives in Germany, said that Arab men come expecting “great apartments, blonde women and the welfare state”.

The political scientist noted that tax payers are providing migrants with far more than they could expect even with wages in their homelands, but warned they find the hospitality “insufficient”.

Professor Tibi pointed to a number of factors that he believes led to the mass sex attacks in Cologne. He said migrants knew their behaviour was criminal but that they think “German women are sluts”, and felt they would face no punishment.

The decorated academic said that police’s “fear of the racist accusation” is greater than their fear of the decline of public order. This, he contends, leads migrants to view German police as “wimps”.

Lead Attorney In Anti-Clinton DNC Fraud Case Mysteriously Found Dead

Call it conspiracy theory, coincidence or just bad luck, but any time someone is in a position to bring down Hillary Clinton they wind up dead. In fact, as we noted previously, there’s a long history of Clinton-related body counts, with scores of people dying under mysterious circumstances. While Vince Foster remains the most infamous, the body count is starting to build ominously this election cycle - from the mysterious "crushing his own throat" death of a UN official to the latest death of an attorney who served the DNC with a fraud suit.

As GatewayPundit's Jim Hoft reports, on July 3, 2016, Shawn Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in the fraud class action suit against the Democrat Party on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters (this was before Wikileaks released documents proving the DNC was working against the Sanders campaign during the 2016 primary).

Shawn Lucas was thrilled about serving the papers to the DNC before Independence Day...

Planned Parenthood Was Created to ‘Exterminate Blacks’

In a wide-ranging interview on the racial climate in America, Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson brought up Planned Parenthood’s founding, saying the organization was created to “exterminate blacks.”

Mr. Watson said black support for Planned Parenthood is “ironic,” given that the organization was founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger in order to control “unfit” populations.

“I do know that blacks kind of represent a large portion of abortions, and I do know that honestly the whole idea with Planned Parenthood and Sanger in the past was to exterminate blacks, and it’s kind of ironic that it’s working,” he said in an interview with Turning Point Pregnancy Resource Center.

“We support candidates, and overwhelmingly support the idea of having Planned Parenthood and the like, and yet, that is why she created it,” he added. “We are buying it hook, line and sinker, like it’s a great thing.”

Rudy Giuliani: The Media Ignore Hillary 'Lied to a Gold Star Mother'

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” while defending Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s actions “don’t get the same attention that Trump’s do,” and he alluded to what he described as lying to a Gold Star mother.

Giuliani said, “I think her comments, Hillary’s comments, just don’t get the same attention that Trump’s do. For example, she lied to a gold star mother. She lied to Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith who was killed at Benghazi, I believe, because of her incompetence. Her incompetence in failing to secure that mission. She lied to her on September 14, 2012, right at the coffin. She said, it was due to a video. So,I think that’s far more serious or at least it should get as much attention as all the attention that was paid to the comments that were made about the Khan family.”

Court tosses Gary Johnson’s lawsuit

Neither the Libertarian nor Green parties are guaranteed a space in this year’s presidential debates, a federal court ruled Friday, dealing a blow to their candidates, who were counting on being able to get onto the stage in order to boost their long-shot bids.

District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer ruled that the commission on presidential debates is a private entity, not a “public forum,” and neither Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson nor Green Party nominee Jill Stein can force their way into a debate.

Mr. Johnson and Ms. Green had argued that the Commission on Presidential Debates was essentially a government actor, performing an important role in American democracy, and so it should be subjected to public oversight — including by the courts.

But Judge Collyer said courts have been quite clear in finding that debates are a private action, and those sponsoring them are generally protected in making their own decisions.

I Want You To Look Closely At This Picture

I snapped this picture off the national news just seconds ago. Here's what you should know. The Press is corralled to the very back of the stadium or location they hold these rallies. What we posted the other day was absolutely true. This is a Hillary Clinton event and very frankly, there's next to no one there compared to even an event like Trump had in Berlin, Maryland. 

I'm just going to say it. Your Main Stream Media is a scam. The idea that allegedly the majority of Americans are supporting Hillary Clinton for President is simply a load of crap. We are being scammed.

We've watched, (for years) military practices all over the country, yes, even in Mardela. We have witnessed military vehicles being handed out to local law enforcement agencies. One only has to slightly wonder if our government hasn't been preparing for what might happen if the election is rigged and IF Americans finally say enough is enough. 

Oh sure, you can sit there and call this post a conspiracy theorist post, fine. However, all I'm saying is what millions of people are thinking and in the end we're wondering, do you feel this is a possibility? 

Click on the image and enlarge it. I'd guess this crowd is only 10 people deep and Hillary was on the stage live.

Revealed: Medal of Honor hero's anger that his request for backup was denied TEN TIMES

Revealed: Medal of Honor hero's anger that his request for backup was denied TEN TIMES by officers sitting kilometers away from where he single-handedly fought for seven hours against 60 Taliban

The American hero awarded the Medal of Honor earlier this week for his bravery in fighting off 60 Taliban almost single-handedly for seven hours has spoken of his anger that repeated requests for backup during the ordeal were ignored by his commanders back at base.

Retired Captain William Swenson was awarded the nation's top military medal by President Obama at the White House on Tuesday. The President said that when Swenson’s comrades needed him, he 'was there for his brothers'...'we thank God he was there for us all.'

But now Swenson, 34, has spoken out about his frustration that his repeated – as many as ten - requests for backup were ignored by commanders who feared involvement would lead to civilian casualties.

Obama to go beyond 10,000 Syrian refugees

Administration officials said Friday that the 10,000 Syrian refugees President Obama wants to welcome this fiscal year is a floor, not a ceiling, and they can go even higher than that total.

“We can now say that we’ve welcomed 8,000 Syrian refugees so far this year and we are very confident we will welcome at least 10,000,” Assistant Secretary of State Anne C. Richard told reporters in updating the flow.

At today’s pace, more than 12,000 refugees could be admitted by the end of September, which marks the end of the fiscal year..

Trump on Clinton: 'I don't think she's all there'

WINDHAM, N.H. (AP) — Republican Donald Trump questioned Democrat Hillary Clinton’s fitness to be president Saturday night, saying “she’s got problems” and that Americans “don’t want someone who’s going to short-circuit.”

Trump told a crowd of supporters that he’s not sure the former first lady and secretary of state is up to the job.

“Honestly, I don’t think she’s all there,” Trump said at a rally in a steamy gymnasium.

Clinton this week said that she “may have short-circuited” when she claimed that FBI Director James Comey said “my answers were truthful and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people” about her use of a private email server during her tenure in the State Department. She had made the claim in an interview with Fox News.

Comey told Congress that investigators had “no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI.” But he has also questioned the accuracy of some of the public statements she’s made about the issue.

Clinton’s statement drew rebuke from fact checkers as well as Trump, who earlier Saturday tweeted that, “Anybody whose mind ‘SHORT CIRCUITS’ is not fit to be our president! Look up the word ‘BRAINWASHED.'”

No External Cause Of Death Found In Autopsy Of Suspect Who Died After Arrest By Ocean City PD

(BALTIMORE, MD) – Complete results of an autopsy conducted on the body of a Delaware man who died after being arrested on drug charges by the Ocean City Police Department yesterday are pending, but the preliminary post-mortem found no signs of external injuries that would have caused his death and did find signs that he may have ingested drugs.

An autopsy was initiated today at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore on the body of Jerry L. Weston, 37, of Greenwood, DE. Weston and two others were arrested early yesterday morning on drug charges by the Ocean City Police Department. Weston became ill while being processed at the police department and was transported by ambulance to Atlantic General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 3:30 a.m. yesterday.

The Ocean City Police Department requested the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit investigate the death of Weston. A State Police Homicide Unit investigator attended the autopsy today in Baltimore.

The preliminary information from the autopsy indicates there was no sign of any external trauma that would have caused the death of Weston. Pathologists did find pieces of latex and a substance believed to be cocaine in Weston’s digestive tract, which is consistent with his statement to police and medical personnel while he was in distress that he had ingested cocaine.

Doctors at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner have ordered additional tests, including toxicology screenings, as part of this autopsy. Those results are pending and could take up to a month or more to obtain. Therefore, a ruling has not been made on Weston’s cause and manner of death. The autopsy remains open pending the results of the ongoing tests.

The Maryland State Police investigation is continuing.

Police Union: Clinton Snubbed Us

Top officials at the biggest police union in the country are upset with Hillary Clinton, saying she snubbed them.

The leader of the National Fraternal Order of Police told The Hill that the Democrat sent a signal through her staff that she wouldn’t be seeking the union’s endorsement.

"It sends a powerful message. To be honest with you, I was disappointed and shocked," said Chuck Canterbury, the president of the National Fraternal Order of Police.

"You would think with law enforcement issues so much in the news that even if she had disagreements with our positions, that she would’ve been willing to say that."

Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, is now actively seeking the union’s support as he trumpets a “law and order” message on the campaign tail.

Canterbury spoke to The Hill in a telephone interview Friday, shortly after he left Trump Tower in Manhattan.

He and other leaders of the police union — which says it represents 335,000 members — visited with Trump on Friday morning to sound out the Republican nominee about his positions on issues of importance to law enforcement officers. Politico first reported the meeting.

The union will not be meeting with Clinton because her campaign decided not to fill out a questionnaire that is required for seeking the police union's endorsement.

Barack Obama Was -- and Remains -- Unfit for the Presidency

Recently, President Barack Obama told a press conference: “I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as President … he’s woefully unprepared to do this job.” He added: “Mitt Romney and John McCain were wrong on certain policy issues, but I never thought that they couldn’t do the job.”

Of course, when he was running against them, Obama said that McCain lacked the “temperament” to be president, and accused literally Romney of killing a woman by laying off her husband from his job.

It is worth recalling how few qualifications Obama himself had — and how many factors ought to have disqualified him. Both Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) drew attention to his deficiencies — Clinton with her infamous “3 a.m.” ad, and McCain with his “Not Ready to Lead” slogan.

True the Vote Wins Legal Appeal Against IRS

Houston-based True the Vote, a prominent player in the Internal Revenue Service targeting scandal from 2013 has reportedly won critical portions of its appeal in a lawsuit against the IRS.

The “voters’ rights organization” known for promoting voter ID laws across the country initially announced the ruling on its Twitter account.

BREAKING: @TrueTheVote just won its appeal against the #IRS. Stay tuned for more details.

— True the Vote (@TrueTheVote) August 5, 2016

. @TruetheVote v. #IRS ruling: “The IRS cannot defend its discriminatory conduct on the merits…” Stay tuned..

— True the Vote (@TrueTheVote) August 5, 2016

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia found that the tax agency’s promises of reform and cessation of “Be-On-The-Lookout” targeting of conservative groups’ applications for tax-exempt status were not satisfactory and, therefore, True the Vote and others should not have had their cases dismissed by lower courts as moot. If the IRS elects to not seek a full appellate panel hearing, the case will be sent back to the trial court for further discovery regarding their claims of civil rights violations.

True the Vote Founder Catherine Engelbrecht hailed the decision in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas.
