Wow: Disney Warned FBI About Omar Mateen Back In April

Wow: Disney Warned FBI About Omar Mateen Back In April - Christine Rousselle
"New reports are emerging that Disney warned the FBI about Omar Mateen several months ago.
Mateen visited the parks with his wife, who told the media that he was considering attacking Disney Springs.
Mateen also visited the Disney Springs (formerly known as "Downtown Disney") area during Gay Days, a weeklong LGBT festival in Orlando."
- ICYMI, per law enforcement source- shooter Omar Mateen and wife Noor Salman visited Disney together in April 
- law enforcement source says Disney notified FBI the couple may have been casing Disney in April 
- June 1-6, during Gay Days, Omar Mateen visited Downtown Disney and Pulse nightclub, per law enforcement source. 
"Insane. 
There are thousands of people who visit Disney each day--and Mateen must have been doing something very out of the ordinary to stand out and set off alarm bells and warrant the FBI being notified. 
That's horrifying.
Further, what are law enforcement agencies doing? 
Mateen was, by all accounts, a ticking time bomb. 
How was he not stopped before he was able to buy a gun and go on a rampage?..."

Obama: Omar Mateen Had 'Glock Which Had A Lot Of Clips in It'

Obama: Omar Mateen Had 'Glock Which Had A Lot Of Clips in It':

"According to CNN, the President explained that Mateen acquired his guns via a background check. And he explained that the background check did not stop Manteen “because he did not have a criminal record that in some ways would prohibit him from purchasing” his weapons.

Breitbart News has previously warned readers not to be fooled into believing background checks will prevent high-profile attackers from striking, and Obama’s admission is confirmation that background checks did not hinder Mateen in the least. Background checks only stop actual criminals, not latent ones."

County Map Shows Where Mosquitoes That Could Carry Zika Have Lived

County Map Shows Where Mosquitoes That Could Carry Zika Have Lived : Shots - Health News : NPR:
"On Thursday, CDC scientists published another mosquito map for the U.S. And it paints a very different picture.
Counties where Aedes aegypti was reported between Jan. 1, 1995, and March 2016. Counties in yellow recorded one year of A. aegypti being present; those shown in orange recorded two years; and those shown in red, three or more years.The new map shows counties in which scientists, over the past two decades, have collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — the type of insect thought to be spreading Zika in Latin American and the Caribbean.
"The new map is more accurate than the initial one," says Thomas Scott, an entomologist at the University of California, Davis. "The distribution of the A. aegypti mosquito is much more restricted than the initial map showed."..."

Glenn Beck’s Personal Action List and Plea to the Gay Community After Orlando Terror Attacks | TheBlaze.com

Glenn Beck’s Personal Action List and Plea to the Gay Community After Orlando Terror Attacks | TheBlaze.com:

"Glenn Beck questioned Monday why many in the media are referring to Sunday morning’s horrific Orlando attack as a “mass shooting” instead of a terrorist attack, given the fact that the shooter showed “strong indications of radicalization.”

“We have to be really clear, the nation is at war. From 9/11 to the Boston Marathon, from Fort Hood to Chattanooga, from San Bernardino to Orlando, our nation is at war,” Beck said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program."

Mexplaining Mexican Pride

Mexplaining Mexican Pride - Taki's Magazine
"The most feral and violent contingent of anti-Trump protestors appears to consist of unabashed Mexican supremacists falsely accusing Trump of being a white supremacist.
They are so irreparably dim that they appear to believe that by stomping on cars, throwing rocks at police, and sucker-punching white people, they will finally quell all doubt about whether they deserve to be here.
Behold the parallel-universe specter of hateful assholes hatefully screaming and hatefully attacking people while toting placards that read STOP THE HATE.
Even more absurd is the specter of people who ran screaming from the flaming abyss that is Mexico proudly waving Mexican flags in the USA.
The most unhinged anti-Trump street riot so far occurred on June 2 outside his rally in San Jose, CA. Mexican flags were waved, Trump hats were burned, women were pelted with eggs and water balloons, men were sucker-punched, and white Trump supporters were chased and attacked like beasts of prey.
In every case, assailants or their enablers were seen waving Mexican flags, a symbol of the fierce pride that was sorely insulted by Trump’s candidacy.
Is this the behavior of people who are truly proud, or is it a collective tantrum by people who are secretly ashamed?
“If you’re so proud of Mexico, why are you here?...”

Blog: Trump’s brilliant counter to charges of racism

Blog: Trump’s brilliant counter to charges of racism:
"...Race-baiting their black voting bloc, and pandering to their white voters’ smug sense of moral superiority, is Democrats’ single most important electoral advantage.  
What is unique is that we finally have a candidate who can fight back, and fight back hard.
At the Faith and Freedom Summit last Friday (which was very poorly reported), Trump didn’t counter the racist charges; he did jujitsu with them, using the Muslim immigration issue to appeal directly for black votes.  That’s the way you dominate the conversation and win elections.  
Donald Trump challenged Hillary Clinton
“…to replace her support for increased refugee admissions… with a new job program for our inner cities.” Clinton “wants a 500% increase in Syrian refugees to come into our country.”
Clinton’s plan to resettle 65,000 Syrian migrants would cost U.S. taxpayers over $42 billion over the course of the migrants’ lifetimes, based on projections from Heritage Foundation …
“We have to take care of the people who are here,” Trump explained. “We have to temporarily stop this whole thing with what’s going on with refugees, where we don’t know where they come from… We have to take a rest. We have to take a time out. We have to use the money to take care of our poorest Americans and work with them, so they can come out of this horrible situation that they’re in.”
Why is this brilliant? 
Republicans have tried to ignore the racist label or laugh it off.  
That doesn’t work.  
When someone libels you, being defensive is fatal.  
Trump is smarter.  
He goes on the offensive.  
Talk to black voters yourself, directly, and with heart.  
Republicans have made the answer be “no” by writing off the black vote.  
Republicans fail when they talk in bromides about opportunity and think blacks will feel included.  
Trump wasn’t just promising money; he went on to attack the failure of inner-city Democratic regimes and offer a conservative critique of black suffering.
From his speech:
Regulation, bureaucracy, government control and open borders have economically destroyed our inner cities. Her [Clinton’s] policies will be a crushing blow to all poor people in this country. Her education policies, her economic policies, her immigration policies and her trade policies will plunge our poor African American and Hispanic communities into turmoil and even worse, despair—believe me, you look at what’s going on..."

"But then he adds, “God will punish those involved in homosexuality,” and that it’s “not an issue that humans should deal with.”

The statement, along with previous videos posted by the shooter’s father offer some indication of the values that may have been passed down to Omar Mateen. The father and son were close and regularly attended Friday prayers together at a Florida mosque, according to CBS."

Muslims Demand Texas Mayor Surrender After She Attacked Shariah Court... Here's Her Response

Muslims Demand Texas Mayor Surrender After She Attacked Shariah Court... Here's Her Response:
"The group of Muslims who attempted to establish the first Islamic Sharia court inside the United States in the town of Irving, Texas just received a devastating blow thanks to the town’s mayor standing strong and not backing down.
Mayor Beth Van Duyne made a public Facebook post stating that she backs the new Texas law which prohibits any kind of foreign law from being practiced in the state of Texas.
After calls, threats and toddler-like demands to apologize from the Muslims who attempted to form the Sharia tribunal along with representatives from the Council on Islamic-American Relations, a known front for the Muslim Brotherhood, the mayor never once backed down.
There were a multitude of illegal activities taking place behind the attempted formation of the Sharia court, including the fact that all four of the “voluntary” Sharia lawyers were not licensed to practice law in Texas — that’s a third degree felony.
The rules of the Sharia court had different guidelines for women and men, with typical Islamic humiliation tactics to be used against women, which is constitutionally illegal.
The Sharia court “lawyers” also conveniently failed to inform the city of Irving that they were operating a court inside of the town — again, illegal.
...Their response was in typical radical Islamic fashion.
“We don’t care about the bill.
It’s not going to affect us in any way, shape or form.
The bottom line is the foundation of this bill is anti-Islamic,” Sheikh said.
During the city vote to support the Texas bill, which passed by a 5-4 vote, members from CAIR were present, attempting to intimidate the crowd by alleging that the bill was “anti-Islamic” and used words like “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” (H/T MadWorldNews)
The bill makes no specific reference to Islam or Sharia — it merely states that no foreign law is to be practiced in the state..."

If they're watching you for treason.......?-----Hillary Clinton: Those Under FBI Scrutiny ‘Shouldn’t Be Able to Just Go Buy a Gun’

Hillary Clinton: Those Under FBI Scrutiny ‘Shouldn’t Be Able to Just Go Buy a Gun’ - ABC News: "In her first rally since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton blasted regulations that allowed a lone gunman to purchase weapons that he used to kill 49 people in Orlando over the weekend -- a slaughter that represented the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
“We may have our disagreements about gun safety regulations, but we should all be able to agree on a few essential things,” Clinton said, speaking to a crowd gathered at the Cleveland Industrial Innovation Center.
“If the FBI is watching you for a suspec
ted terrorist links, you shouldn't be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked.”
Clinton also reiterated comments she made on ABC News' “Good Morning America” on this morning that she would put together a team to track “lone wolf” threats and arguing that “weapons of war have no place on our streets.”"

Court Documents, Interviews, FBI Reveal New Details About Orlando Terrorist | TheBlaze.com:

"Comey said Mateen first appeared on the radar of federal authorities in 2013 after his co-workers said he claimed to have family connections to al-Qaeda and said he wanted police to raid his apartment and assault his family so he could martyr himself, among other alarming remarks. The FBI investigated Mateen thoroughly for 10 months, but found no actionable evidence.

Mateen was investigated by the FBI again in 2014 after his relationship with a suicide bomber was uncovered. Agents determined he knew the bomber “casually” and the second investigation was ultimately closed.

Comey also revealed that Mateen called 911 three times during Sunday’s attack."

3,000+ gallons of untreated sewage leak into Grand Traverse Bay | MLive.com
"UPDATE: How a popular Lake Michigan beach looks after 3,000-gallon sewage leak
TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- A no-contact order has been issued for four popular Traverse City beaches and two waterways after an estimated 3,000 gallons of untreated sewage leaked into Grand Travers Bay Saturday, Upnorthlive reports.
The television station reported the county health department issued an advisory stating a 12-inch main discharged the sewage, but it did not detail how that happened.
The sewage leaked about 2 p.m. Saturday near Cedar Street and the effluent entered West Bay.
The health agency issued no-contact orders for:
• Clinch Park Beach
• Sunset Park Beach
• Bryant Park Beach
• Traverse City Senior Center Beach
• Kids Creek near Cedar Street to the Boardman River
• Boardman River near Wadsworth Street to the mouth of West Grand Traverse Bay
The order will remain in effect until further notice, the Traverse City Ticker reported.
The county has contacted the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and those agencies will work with the city to make repairs.
The public drinking water supply is not affected because it is drawn from East Grand Traverse Bay, Upnorthlive said."

Self-Service Password Reset & Social Engineering: A Match Made In Hell

Self-Service Password Reset & Social Engineering: A Match Made In Hell:
"A sad tale of how hackers compromised a CEO's corporate account by trolling Facebook and LInkedin for answers to six common authentication questions. (And how to avoid that happening to you)
Recently, I was on a call with the CISO of a customer whose CEO’s account had been hacked.
The CISO and his team were trying to understand how this had occurred, and, following a short investigation, we discovered that the hacker had been able to compromise the CEO’s password via the company’s software solution that enables end users to reset forgotten passwords.
After reviewing logs and other audit mechanisms, we determined that the hacker had used the solution’s self-service password reset (SSPR) capability to reset the CEO’s password.
Once the password was reset, the hacker had free reign over the CEO’s account.
...A few days later, I had the opportunity to create an account on a third-party system that used SSPR for password reset, and --  based on my earlier conversation with the customer -- saw the questions I was asked to answer in a completely different light.
They included:

  • What was the name of your first pet?
  • What was the name of the first school you attended?
  • In what city was your father born?
  • In what city was your mother born?
  • In what city did your parents meet?
  • What was your childhood nickname?

PRO-ISIS KILL LIST Released Containing Thousands of Civilian Names in U.S. | The Federalist Papers:

"Meanwhile, Democrats and Obama won’t even mutter the words ‘Islamic Extremist.’ Instead they blame the 89,999,999 gun owners who didn’t harm anyone today. They blame Republicans for not enacting more useless gun control laws. Yet they REFUSE to say ‘Islamic Extremism.’
The one true role of the federal government is to protect citizens and they can’t do it because the Democrats running the country won’t even admit WHO the enemy is in this country.

How many more Americans will die at the hands of Islamic Extremists before Democrats finally admit they are an extremely big and growing problem within the United States?"
