Prayers goes to the family of four who were murdered by terrorist
Three adults and one teen from the same family were killed in a hit and run on June 6. The family's nine-year-old boy is in hospital with serious injuries. Police say they appear to have been targeted because of their Islamic faith. A 20-year-old man has been charged with four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

Three dangerous terrorists are off the streets. They wanted to attack a Kansas town because it has immigrants and Muslims.
Federal prosecutors plan to announce charges related to a planned attack on the Somali immigrant community in Kansas, the AP reports. A law enforcement official said Friday that federal prosecutors in Wichita, Kansas, are announcing the arrests of three men in connection with the plot. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. Acting US Attorney Tom Beal and FBI Special Agent Eric Jackson have scheduled a news conference late Friday in Wichita. The Justice Department's National Security Division created a new position a year ago to help coordinate investigations into violent homegrown extremism, like the one that resulted in the three arrests.
Countless people showed up to listen to Garden City Police Michael Utz explain the investigation about the planned attack.
A translator helped Somali community members address their concerns, but they were assured there is no longer any reason to be scared.
"I didn't sleep very well, but today when I saw the police and heard the police, all the people in the community coming here, I was feeling very, very happy," said Frah Farah, a community member. "I will sleep very well tonight."
Garden City Police say community members can help the community safe by reporting any suspicious activity.
Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says Curtis Allen, 49, Gavin Wright, 51, and Patrick Stein were all charged with domestic terrorism.
Beall said the three were planning to bomb an apartment complex and mosque in Garden City occupied by a Muslim community of about 120 Somali refugees.
Beall said the men planned to carry out the attack on Nov. 9, the day after Election Day.
He said the men stockpiled a large cache of firearms, and ammunition.
Beall said the men planned to park vehicles full of explosives at all four corners of the Garden City apartment complex. The men said they wanted to "wake people up".
Beall said the men wrote a manifesto, which they wanted published after the bombing.
According to an affidavit, the were a part of a group called the Kansas Security Force and the Crusaders.
"These are militia groups whose members support and espouse sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs," read the affidavit.
Beall said the men's arrest is a part of an eight month long investigation.
Eyewitness News first learned about the investigation when Liberal police and the FBI shutdown multiple streets in town on Tuesday.
All three men are currently in the Sedgwick County jail on one count of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.
If convicted, all three could face life in prison.
The Garden City Mayor and Police Chief issued the following statements Friday evening:
"Our community is forever grateful for the protection provided to us every day, but especially today in learning of the thwarted attack on our community. I'm shocked, but at the same time extremely proud of and grateful for the efforts of local, state, and federal law enforcement. Today should also serve as a reminder that vigilance should be a common practice by all citizens. 'See something, say something' is a cause we should champion each day even in a rural community like Garden City. I would encourage anyone that sees something suspicious to call 911."
Mayor Chris Law
"The GCPD was aware of the investigation, and has cooperated with the FBI since the onset. We have been assured that all individuals involved are in custody, and that the safety of the community was ensured throughout the investigation. All inquiries about the investigation, arrest, and prosecution are referred to the US Attorney's Office and the FBI."
Chief Michael Utz
The growing tension within the Donald Trump campaign has conservatives screaming that the election is "rigged". His rhetoric has inspired extremism.
The city of New York was rocked with an explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood. There were 29 people injured but so far no deaths recorded.
The New York Police Department and FBI are very determined to catch the people involved in this horrendous act of terrorism.
As usual, the blame game will come into play and usually the first thing that comes out an agitator's mouth. What is said is pretty simple: Who's gonna take responsibility for the act?
Almost immediately, the finger of blame is pointed at the Islamic State. Then of course, the president, Muslims, Black Lives Matter, liberals, Democrats and Bill de Blasio.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York governor Andrew Cuomo and President Barack Obama were notified about this. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were notified about this as well.
Each of these people express sorrow and anger at this. Yadda, yadda, yadda!
The NYPD and National Guard are on high alert. The city was planning on increasing police presence as foreign dignitaries are arriving at the United Nations. President Barack Obama will be in attendance for the last time.
Someone allegedly put a pressure cooker bomb into a dumpster and the thing exploded and it sent a shockwave across the neighborhood. There were another pressure cooker bombs found in New York about a few blocks away. Then there was one in suburban New Jersey.
A bomb went off in a residential neighborhood in New York City.
A man in Minnesota was stabbing people with a large knife. He stabbed nine people before the law bucked him. According to witnesses, the man was screaming at people asking if they're Muslims, before stabbing him. He decreed in holy Islamic rhetoric that "god is great" before the law bucked him.
The Islamic State has praised the terrorist for his actions.
Terrorism is a part of a daily routine. It happens just as much as a gun crime. It happens without notice.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. REPUBLICANS ONLY STRENGTH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IS THEIR TONGUES. THEY CERTAINLY FAIL AT USING THEIR BRAINS WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING TERRORISM. THEY CAN SAY "RADICAL ISLAM" AND ALL THAT OTHER WORD VOMIT AND HYPOTHETICAL BULLSHIT ALL THEY WANT. THEY ARE REMINDED THAT UNDER A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, HAPPENED UNDER HIS WATCH. THE ISLAMIC STATE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF REPUBLICANS AND THEIR SO-CALLED PATRIOTISM. THE TERRORISTS THANK THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES FOR GIVING ACCESS TO FIREARMS AND BOMB MAKING EQUIPMENT.
Of course, we must be vigilant. If you spot something, say something! It's most important that you contact the law if you see suspicious activity in highly populated areas. It's very critical to let the law know about friends or family members who may have issues that could inspire terrorism.
And for the last time, terrorism isn't solely Muslim or Brown people. It's an act committed by an individual(s) who have a political bone to pick with the government. Their objective is to disrupt the lives of others for the sole thrill of "making a statement".
Those who are arrested will face federal charges. In a federal charge, you can face the "DEATH CARD" if the government indicts you on terrorism.
Suicide bombing at Istanbul's Ataturk International Airport.
The junk food media is covering the massacre at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport. The Turkish authorities and the American authorities are investigating the incident. The attack happened around 10pm overnight and the causalities are great. We don't know if any Americans or Western nationals were among the dead.
The Islamic State hasn't claimed responsibility but it's likely their involvement.
Turkey had been the victim of several terrorist attacks in 2016. There were two bombings in January and March of this year. Then there were a few incidents in June.
Some of these events could have been sponsored by the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons or the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) but the groups aren't saying much.
Two men approached the X-ray scanners at a security checkpoint and opened fire. They were fired upon by the law and then when they got them on the ground, they pushed a button on their collars and "BOOM" the room goes into dark.
The terrorist killed themselves and three people in the vicinity.
There could be over 100 people killed in this event. So far the death toll is in the double digits.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (media called ISIS) is the terrorist group de jour. They are the most brutal group past al Qaeda. The terrorist organization has been actively recruiting Western members to their group.
The event was captured on social media. A video posted on Twitter shows a view from a camera inside the airport terminal. A few dozen people are walking around and then a bright flash and fireball erupted in the background.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildrim both express sorrow and anger tonight. They believe that individuals involved will be nabbed quickly.
The airport is closed. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the FBI are on the ground.
President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Secretary of State John Kerry have also send their condolences to the victims. They promise that the event will merit in a response from NATO.
It was clearly an act of terror. Facebook activates the "I AM SAFE" function. Has it been activated for the most recent attacks besides Istanbul and Orlando?
Will the conservatives blame President Barack Obama for not saying "radical Islam" or "ignoring the threat"?
Let me say this with no remorse, saying "radical Islam" isn't fighting terrorism. It's just divisive and ignorant upon the conservatives to say that. If they really want to fight terrorism, they need to first understand what drives them to terrorism.
The U.S. Congress needs to pass comprehensive background checks and an assault weapons ban to keep terrorists and mentally insane from obtaining firearms. They need to also keep military grade explosives out the reach of non-military officials.
It won't be long before the suicide bombers come into our airports. And of course, the U.S. Congress will allow it to happen because they don't want the "needless" regulations.
World News Today send our condolences to the victims of this senseless tragedy.
Today, President Barack Obama addressed the junk food media. He said that he will be heading to Orlando to talk to mayor Buddy Dyer and the victims of the horrific mass shooting.
He also wanted to get a few things off his chest. He was pissed at Congress delaying his nominees (i.e. Supreme Court and Counter-terrorism finance analysis). He hammered Republicans for wasting taxpayer money stalling his nominees and failing to act on mass shooting tragedies.
And one thing that I happened to catch was the slick diss on conservatives complaining about the president not saying "radical Islam" and complaining about him "ignoring the threat".
Obama isn't mincing words. He said that Republicans and conservatives play political games. The term "radical Islam" doesn't stop terrorism.
Obama didn't mince words when he clapped.
I am so happy President Barack Obama hit back at Donald Trump, Matt Drudge, that old fart Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Softball Hannity.
In the previous interviews on Fox News, many agitators have ripped the president for not saying "radical Islam". I posted my thoughts on this controversy.
Saying "radical Islam" isn't fighting terrorism. It's a divisive phrase that could inspire the Islamic State to recruit more Americans to their cause.
The president is very clear that he's fighting terrorism not Islam. And he let Trump and the Republicans have it.
“What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to try to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this?”
“The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away.”
Obama stood firm. “Not once has an adviser of mine said, ‘Man, if we really use that phrase, we’re gonna turn this whole thing around.’ Not once,” he said.
Most of these terrorists were American-born citizens. They had access to firearms and were legally able to do so.
Trump is about play catch with Softball Hannity. Trump will address the president's diss on him.
Obama questioned whether Trump would eventually resort to treating Muslim Americans differently as well, possibly subjecting them to extra surveillance or discriminating against them based on their religion.
“Where does this stop?” he asked.
“Do Republican officials actually agree with this?” Obama continued, directly challenging Republican leadership to take a stand against Trump’s toxic proposals.
Circling back to his rejection of the term “radical Islam,” the president warned against rhetoric and policies that make Muslim Americans feel like they are constantly under suspicion.
“We have gone through moments in our history before when we acted out of fear, and we came to regret it,” he said.
The Republican presumptive nominee decides to take a moment from bitching to celebrate his birthday today.
Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. The Associated Press confirms the American boxing legend died of pneumonia and complications from Parkinson's disease. President Barack Obama was notified of Ali's death tonight.
Ali who was considered the greatest boxer of all time fought through racism, his personal struggles, his conversation to Islam and Parkinson's disease.
Beloved by many for being fast on his feet, fast on his fists and fast on his wits.
Legally known as Cassius Clay, Ali converted to being a Muslim through the Nation of Islam. He rejected his birth name after an awakening. He and his family grew up being in a strict Baptist family.
Ali rejected the Christian teachings on grounds of violence and intolerance. He chose Islam as a spiritual path to happiness. He stood firm in those beliefs and it riled up people.
He won an Olympic medal for boxing. When he returns to the United States, he saw racism in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
It was said that he threw his medal in the Ohio River.
He was arrested for dodging the draft. He was opposed to the Vietnam War. He believed that he shouldn't fight for White imperialism. He was stripped of his World Boxing Association championship. It took three years for him to win the right back into the ring.
His bouts with George Foreman, Smokin Joe Frazier and the career win against Sonny Liston made him a legend. The most iconic image of Ali was the one where he took on Sonny Liston and knuckled him in a first round bout.
He was born in Jan. 17, 1942 in a segregated South. He started his career as a boxer when he got his bicycle stolen at age 12.
He won a Gold medal in Rome at age 18. He defeated Polish boxer Zbigniew Pietrzykowski in a light heavyweight final.
Regarded as the most charismatic sportsman of the modern generation, Ali kept his victories on top and his critics at the bottom. He was the first boxer to win the world heavyweight title three times.
He retired in 1981 with a record of 56-5 with 37 knockouts.
He was known as the most recognizable person on the planet. Outpouring of sympathy is coming from politicos, celebrities and athletes worldwide.
Me and S. Baldwin thank Muhammad Ali. May peace be with you and the spiritual Allah. Ali told us to stand up and fight for what's good for the world. He was never afraid to speak his mind. He never let the critics weigh him down with the negativity. He fought the battles and came out forever a champion.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Muhammad Ali.
I will continue to post more on this story as soon I get info....
Conservatives mock American Muslims being attacked by killer bees.
Our friends over at Raw Story had a story that was posted on the conservative Craigslist. The website linked an article in regards to an event that happened over the weekend.
A Islamic temple in Phoenix was invaded by a bee swarm.
It linked to the Fox Nation website. The Muslim Community Mosque of Metro Phoenix was hit by a swarm of the aggressive African colonized bees. The bugs managed to sting 20 worshippers.
The spokesperson for the mosque said that animal control will handle the situation. They will safely remove the bees.
Well it seems like racism and xenophobia isn't far away. Some people came from underneath the bandwidth bridge to mock the incident and bring President Barack Obama into the conversation.
Some of the word vomit was extreme. So far I've read a few of these inflammatory remarks.
One poster said that "Bees are doing more for our national security than the president".
Another comment was even more vulgar. "A press statement from Obama was just issued. He apologized to the Muslims for Racist Bee Violence.
Another one commented saying that "Further investigation revealed that these Bees were reincarnated Muslim terrorists that killed themselves and found out the virgin thing was a lie!!!! So now they are seeking revenge.,lol!"
These were some of the offensive word vomit from conservatives. It's vile, ugly and just utterly stupid.
These are the voters that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich want.
I am tolerant of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings.
Everyone has a bias towards something. I admit that I do have strong bias towards things as well.
My biggest bias is towards idiocy and ignorance.
I want you to understand that I do not fear Muslims. I am not afraid of terrorists. I am not going act like a hero in a mass shooting event.
If I have to protect myself, I would use a firearm. But I rather have firearms in the hands of law enforcement, military and those who are qualified to handle them.
I want too see a stricter background check on people who purchase firearms. I want gun owners to have liability insurance and mandatory jail time for misuse of their firearm.
I want Republicans and Democrats to stop bickering over issues that aren't relevant to the country.
Gun violence is the number one threat in our country. Terrorism is a threat but it's not a daily occurrence. We have more gun incidents in our communities. More than most of the modern world.
Anyone who loses a child or a parent to gun violence is terrorized by this.
If the San Bernardino event was classified as terrorism, why don't they have every mass shooting or single gun crime be labeled as terrorism?
Why must we continue to fight each other on who's patriotic?
Why does the junk food media and politicians continue to stroke the fear for ratings and short term gains?
I've heard that Republican governors want to block access to refugees because of the Paris attacks.
They believe that the federal government will not do proper vetting of those seeking refuge from the civil war in Syria.
They claim that terrorists could infiltrate fleeing refugees seeking asylum. The president said that the United States is willing to accept 10,000 Syrians to seek asylum.
The president gets annoyed by the quarterbacking from his critics. The Republicans once again blame the president for the Paris attacks. They believe that he's not taking the threat of terrorism seriously.
He won't even say the "radical Islam". It's the new phrase used in the word vomit drinking game.
The Republicans and their conservative agitators offer no real solution on how to combat terrorism.
The only answer to the problem, attack President Barack Obama and his allies for not saying "radical Islam" and not recognizing the threat.
When Republicans can prove they're tough on terrorism, come and see me!
President Barack Obama said that critics love "pop off" with their opinions about the U.S. campaign against the Islamic State without offering real ideas to combat the threat.
He says they should present a specific plan. And if his critics think their advisers are smarter than Obama's, the president says, "I want to meet them."
Obama says his sole interest is in keeping the American people safe. He says he's not interested in doing what works politically or will make him or America look tough.
Some Republican presidential candidates have called on Obama to send U.S. ground troops into Syria. Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz have said that any U.S. assistance to Middle Eastern refugees should focus primarily on Christians fleeing persecution.
Ben Carson recently said he had information on China's involvement in Syria. Obama officials said they had no evidence of that. Carson expressed surprise that "my sources are better than theirs."
Now clearly, Republicans have no room to talk. The worst disaster to happen on American soil happened under a Republican president.
Mind you that Republicans now taken this nationalist stance against immigrants. They seriously ignore the principles of America being a "welcoming place". Donald Trump believes that we should eliminate Islamic mosques in the United States. Carson claims that "radical Islam" is the new Nazis. Cruz wants to say that Obama throws Israel and Christians under the bus.
These clowns are scared of the Muslims.
Most Muslims condemn this senseless violence.
A repetitive pattern of the Republicans and their conservative allies.
When Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter.
When the Black community demands police reform and body cameras, Republicans claim that they're not focused on Black-on-whatever crime. They claim that protesting against injustice is liberal indoctrination and professional race-baiters. The Republicans believe that Black Lives Matter embraces cop killing.
When you talk about comprehensive immigration reform, they call it amnesty. They don't want to grant hardworking immigrants the opportunity to be American citizens. In their minds, if they pass this monumental Civil Rights bill, the Democrats get the credit.
Republicans are just as radical as the terrorists. They want to meddle in the lives of women by cutting funds to Planned Parenthood.
They want to eliminate birthright citizenship. They want to put undocumented immigrants into federal time out. They want to pass this Kate Steinle law to punish small time undocumented criminals.
A lot of smoke but no fire.
They want to repeal Obamacare despite the Supreme Court ruling it constitutional.
They want to repeal Dodd-Frank and let the financial market crash again.
They want to build a huge border fence on the U.S.-Mexican border ignoring the U.S.-Canadian border being loose.
They want to let the TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline flow through the Midwest with dirty tar sand oil they'll export to East Asia.
They want to pass religious freedom laws that discriminate against Muslims, the LGBT community non-Christian residents.
Gun crime happens everyday in the United States. They can't figure out what is the worst event to exploit. When the victim's families call for gun control and more accountability towards gun ownership, Republicans stand in the way with ridiculous hypotheticals. They will says that the victim's families are exploiting their member's death for a gun grab.
They continue to cry about the the junk food media being liberal despite being Republican candidates getting more attention than the Democrats.
The Republican Party fucking sucks. They make stupid look smart.
The world's largest social media website faces criticism for selective sympathy.
The social media juggernaut is facing harsh criticism for being selective in how they cover tragedies.
The attacks in Paris attracted global attention. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Friday night attacks leaving over 130 dead. Now the law is searching for the ringleaders involved. They zeroed in on Belgium and are targeting sites in Syria which were strongholds for the extremist group.
Facebook showed solidarity to the victims by activating the "I'm Safe" function. The function activates whenever an emergency happens in the world.
What got people pissed at the social media giant, the tragedy in Beirut, Lebanon. There are people active on Facebook in Lebanon.
Earlier this month the Islamic State struck a marketplace in Beirut killing 43 people Thursday. Of course, we ignored that tragedy. The junk food media focused on Paris.
Mark Zuckerberg responds to the controversy. He at first was shocked that people were upset over the function. But he soon realized that Facebook screwed up.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has to backtrack on the "I'm Safe" function.
"Many people have rightfully asked why we turned on Safety Check for Paris but not for bombings in Beirut and other places," he wrote on his Facebook page.
"Until yesterday, our policy was only to activate Safety Check for natural disasters. We just changed this and now plan to activate Safety Check for more human disasters going forward as well."
"Thank you to everyone who has reached out with questions and concerns about this. You are right that there are many other important conflicts in the world. We care about all people equally, and we will work hard to help people suffering in as many of these situations as we can."
"We care about all people equally, and we will work hard to help people suffering in as many of these situations as we can," said Zuckerberg.
Paris is a global city and considered an Alpha+ city.
The cities that the junk food media often see as potential targets of terrorism are New York, London, Paris, Washington, DC, Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin, Beijing, Moscow, Madrid, Mumbai, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Beirut has experienced numerous massacres in the past two years. No mentions by the junk food media here in the United States.
We send our condolences to the victims of Paris, Beirut and Russian Jet tragedies.
We will cover the Paris tragedies as best as we can.
Terrorism is a part of the daily routine. The American politicos flex their "I'm a big muscle in the wake of the tragic terrorist attack in Paris, France.
Let me be clear, gun violence is a bigger threat here in the United States, than terrorism. Terrorism and diseases such as HIV and Ebola are exploited by the junk food media for fear.
The 15 Republican knuckle heads like to flex their "I can do this" muscle. They have no real answer to stopping terrorism. All I hear from the candidates is blaming people for unfortunate circumstances.
We haven't had a horrific [international] terrorist attack on our country since September 11, 2001. But to the Republicans and agitators in the media, President Barack Obama can't do nothing. The president has been aggressive against terrorism. It's unfortunate that the Islamic State and al Qaeda exists. Our country's influence in the Middle East has sparked feverish outrage.
The United States has blind support for the Israeli government's apartheid on the West Bank and Gaza Strip is one main reason.
We uprooted foreign leaders who we believe impedes on our "capitalism" and "values". Americans show constant bigotry towards people because of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings. Terrorism is inspired by animosity towards these groups. Terrorism exists. It's not going to stop. It's a part of daily routine here and abroad. It's a shame that we don't consider every mass shootings in our country as terrorism. It's a shame we don't consider any gun crime as terrorism. I don't call it radical Islam like the Republicans and conservative agitators. I call it terrorism.
HIV exists. It's not going to stop. It's a part of the daily routine here and abroad. Heroin and denial are the reasons to why the virus continues to thrive here in the United States.
No one talks about that in the debates. Nobody understands that heroin is causing HIV risks. Matter of fact, heroin should be second. Because so many suburban White people are killing themselves. White women are using heroin at a faster pace.
Me and S. Baldwin send our condolences to the numerous victims of the Paris attacks. On September 13, 2015, seven terrorists aimed at numerous venues in the Parisian night. The terrorists managed to kill 130 people and injured numerous people. It's confirmed that an American student studying abroad was one of the victims of this tragedy. Nohemi Gonzalez was one of the first confirmed Americans killed. She was only 23 and a student from Cal State University.
Now the world is mourning the losses.
Everyone here in the United States are showing solidarity by going to social media and posting their thoughts.
James Foley's family blames Obama for their son's death. Instead of blaming the terrorists, conservatives find the real threat to America is the President of the United States.
This became an issue for the Republicans and Democrats. Last night Democratic debate on CBS began with a focus on the tragedy. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley all had an opportunity to express their desires to take on the threat. They offer no real answer to how to take on the threat.
The Republicans on the other hand now are using this as a banter to attack President Barack Obama.
In an interview on ABC, the president said that the Islamic State is being "contained".
Conservative agitators and the candidates are seizing on that remark as a reason to say the president is aloof and not taking the threat seriously.
The U.S. gained some ground in the fight against the extremist group. An U.S. airstrike may have killed Mohammad Ewazi, the junk food media's so-called "Jihad John" spokesman.
The French government has been active in retaliation. The junk food media broke the news that French fighter jets strike on the de facto base of the Islamic State.
On GOP Sundays, you had commentators, agitators, and politicos wonk it out about how to fight an organization that seems to be getting more powerful by the day.
Republicans now saying that we shouldn't allow Syrian refugees asylum. They believe that terrorists could slip into the United States. Terrorism is already here in the United States. We have our own people leaving their families to join the Islamic State and al Qaeda.
Terrorism is going to be around 24/7.
Americans should use their common sense.
Always expect something to happen.
We should not live in a bubble fearing the unknown.
We never expect mass shootings in our country let alone a terrorist attacks.
Republicans don't see any reason to close the gun sale loopholes. Even if we accept Syrian refugees, they go through a background check. If one does slip into the United States, they'll have access to firearms through strawman purchases.
We have mass shootings everyday in the United States. There was a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in October and one just last night. There was an entire family murdered in Jacksonville by a man.
So I don't want to hear this talk about terrorism, radical Islam and boots on the ground. We have people murdering people with firearms here in our country. This is the real threat to the country.
The global city of Paris was rocked by a horrific terrorist attack.
I don't want to jump to conclusions on the death count, but I can tell you that the causality count is extremely high. Me and S. Baldwin send our condolences to the victims of tonight's tragedy in Paris.
According to the numerous sources, there was a series of mass shootings and bombings in the entertainment districts of Paris.
This worst of the attacks happened at the Le Bataclan Music Hall. The concert featured American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. While people were cheering on the music, these terrorists opened fire on concert goers, people enjoying dinner and watching a soccer event. These individuals who were cornered by the law decided to take more lives out by detonating suicide explosives.
This tragedy has merit global attention.
#PrayforParis is trending on the social networks.
The blame game also is trending.
I am picturing our conservative agitators saying that President Barack Obama didn't do enough or say enough. I can imagine that terrorism will be front and center in the Democratic debate. I can imagine that Republicans will agitate bigotry towards Muslims.
Muslims condemn this tragedy.
The French government imposed a mandatory curfew for the entire country. President François Hollande announced that borders are closed. He also vows to find everyone involved in this tragedy.
The leaders come to the aid of the French government. President Barack Obama, Britain's David Cameron, Canada's Justin Trudeau, Germany's Angela Murkel, and Russia's Vladimir Putin all send sympathies to the French Republic.
The Beirut bombings, the Jordanian police officer who murdered American contractors, the apparent take down of the Russian Boeing plane has intelligence agencies pointing fingers at the Islamic State.
At least seven individual attacks took place, comprising of at least six shootings and three explosions.
Shootings were reported around the Rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi, Rue de Charonne, and Rue Bataclan.
Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon shootings
A shooting at the Petit Cambodge ("Little Cambodia") restaurant in the 10th arrondissement of Paris resulted in several deaths, which are reported to be between four to eleven.
The assailants also shot people outside a bar called Le Carillon near the Canal Saint-Martin.
According to a police official, 11 people were killed at the restaurant. The assailants reportedly "fled in one or two vehicles" after the shootings.
La Belle Equipe shooting
Shots were fired at La Belle Equipe, a restaurant in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
Bataclan theatre siege and mass shooting
Shootings and hostage takings occurred at the Bataclan theatre in the 11th arrondissement where the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal were playing to an audience of around 1,500. 60—100 hostages were taken.
The band's members escaped without injury.
Someone who escaped the attack told a journalist that the attackers mentioned Syria and that there were five or six attackers. One witness in the Bataclan stated that a gunman yelled "This is because of all the harm done by Hollande to Muslims all over the world."
There were further attacks reported on police and first responders who arrived at the scene after initial reports of shooting inside the theatre.
One of the attackers at the Bataclan had explosives, according to a police officer at the scene.
Julien Pierce, a journalist from Europe 1, said that he saw armed men enter the Bataclan, and two or three men not wearing masks fired indiscriminately on the crowd.
The siege ended at 1 am.
The police reported that an estimated 100 people were killed at the theatre.
Four attackers were killed, three of whom died by detonating their suicide belts.
Stade de France explosion
At least 10 people were injured or killed in an explosion at a bar near the Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis.
The President of France, François Hollande, was at the Stade de France attending an international friendly football match between France and Germany. Hollande was safely evacuated from the scene and met the French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve to coordinate a response to the emergency.
Explosions were heard on the live televised broadcast of the match.
Following the game, fans were brought onto the pitch to await evacuation as police monitored all exits from the venue.
I stand with the people of France in the wake of this horrific tragedy. We will continue to follow this tragedy.
If you want to help, please donate to the American Red Cross and Amnesty International for assistance.
The folks over at Buzzfeed report that a man is being held in lockup on the charge of murder.
The 32-year old German man who has not being identified was arrested in the death of a Bosnian boy.
Mohamed Januzi a 4-year old boy from Bosina went missing earlier this month was found dead in a vehicle yesterday. Berlin police arrest the suspect after he confessed to murdering the boy.
He told his mother and she told him to turn himself in. The suspect also confessed to killing another child. The first victim was named Elias who went missing in July in the town of Potsdam.
Mohamed was last seen leaving a refugee camp with an unidentified man. Surveillance footage being released by the law. Mohamed's mother lost sight of him after she saw him playing with other children.
Germany is the recipient of the larges number of asylum applicants. With immigrants coming at such a rapid rate, many conservatives in Germany believe that the threat of terrorism would follow.
German residents listen to American conservative agitators too. They seem to believe that people fleeing danger are the danger. German right wingers are trying to stop immigration at the door.
American conservative agitators (i.e. that network and old fart Limbaugh) have been on this kick about the United States taking 200,000 refugees this year. It turns out that's not the case.
The United States is taking about 14,000 refugees.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Mohamed Januzi and the unknown boy.
The Million Man March turns 20. The Nation of Islam's Honorable Louis Farrakhan and many speakers appear at the National Mall to discuss the issues facing Black America.
The Million Man March returns to Washington. This will celebrate 20 years since the first march upon the National Mall.
Justice or Else: The 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March: Justice or Else, sometimes abridged as Justice or Else or stylized as Justice or Else!, is a movement and a march in Washington D.C. that is part of the Black Lives Matter activist movement. Louis Farrakhan announced his "Justice or Else" event commemorates the 20th anniversary of the October 16, 1995 Million Man March.
Minister Louis Farrakhan will headline the event. It will outline a lot of things. One in particular is the Black male inside out. I managed to hear the speech and I strongly agree with the premise of the minister.
One thing that caught me was the instructions. His instructions are basically keep fighting for justice and ignore the noise. The noise (i.e. that annoying conservative agitator, David Clarke, Jr., O'Loofus and that network) will take his speech out of context and make it seem like he's calling for the death of White America. He doesn't call for any death of human beings. He said that arrogant America will be condemned by God. He said that the rich will continue to push the poor into fighting one another.
He said that Black men should keep BITCH out of their mouths.
He said that Black men should learn that killing one another doesn't bring strength. It brings weakness and it's a plan.
He slammed former Ferguson officer Darren Wilson for being a part of the system of corrupt lawmen who take joy in the pain and sorrow of Black America.
I wish I would have went tot the March. I would love to find my place in the world.
Ahmed Mohamed is attacked by Fox News and the far-right.
Rapper Nas released the single Sly Fox almost ten years ago. It was a single that aimed at the right wing network for deliberately picking fights for ratings. He said that the network is mindless trash.
It seems like that network continues to push the mindless trash.
That network decides to make it a mission to destroy the Irving, Texas teen who was arrested for making a clock his teachers thought was a bomb. The teen was arrested and then released. The reason why it got so much attention, the teen was a practicing Muslim.
Ahmed Mohamed became an overnight celebrity after the picture of his arrest went viral. An outpouring of support came across the country. The president, Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook, Apple and Harvard all threw their support to Ahmed.
Everything was looking good for Ahmed.
That's until that network decided to look into it. Right out the gate, they invite conservative internet troll C.J. Pearson on.
The teen became famous for ripping President Barack Obama for not loving America. He came on to whine about how the president jump to conclusions about Ahmed.
They bring on the infamous former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman. This is the detective who was found in contempt of court for perjury in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Fuhrman uttered racial slurs about suspects during his time as a lawman.
This guy called Ahmed a troublemaker.
Fuhrman's ignorance was on full display.
That network even invited the Republican mayor of Irving on to denounce the publicity, the president and Ahmed for causing her city to cast in a negative light.
Beth Van Duyne put in her city charter that Shir'a Law is prohibited in her city. She gave Glenn Beck the opportunity to grow The Blaze in her town.
Now they get a story from the Dallas Morning News, quote a former teacher and run with this narrative that Ahmed was "ALWAYS" a trouble maker. Allegedly, “a family friend says it came from blowing soap bubbles in the bathroom.”
Going against the grain, those three nut bags (Steve Doocy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Brian Kilmeade) were running this story about some pedophile looking teacher saying that Ahmed was a "weird" kid who blew bubbles in the bathroom.
This guy above is Ralph Kubiak: Ahmed’s seventh-grade history teacher and fellow outsider.
He's the guy who claims that Ahmed was a “a weird little kid” and described him as “one of those kids that could either be CEO of a company or head of a gang.”
The ever shameless agitators.
This is coming from a guy who looks like a pedophile who molest boys. Funny stuff. This is what that network brings on to attack Ahmed.
What the network left out was the teen being bullied by fellow peers. He was picked on for being a Muslim. Every invention he managed to share with his class, the teachers would often marvel at it.
But there were some in the Irving Independent School District who watch that network and saw the Islamic State march along a path with tennis shoes and AR-15 rifles. Then that annoying conservative agitator telling the viewers that Obama said the extremists were the "JV team".
The network would run stories about the beheading of White or Christians victims alongside the president on vacation. Then the network would put on bigots who believe Muslims have privileges like prayer rugs and dismissal from school cause of religion. That network would give Islamophobes like Frank Gaffney Bridget Gabriel and Pam Geller airtime to denounce Muslims and supporters of Palestine. The network would host pseudo-analysis like Ralph Peters, David Hunt and Steve Emerson on to boldly say that Muslims are being radicalized and sneaking into the country from the Mexican border.
The libertarian comedian is turning into an Islamphobe. Bill Maher is agnostic and doesn't support any religion regardless of what it is. He's been very critical recently of Islam.
He believes that the controversy in Irving, Texas was "staged" by activists.
To see this 14 year old teen who had a genius bone get slandered by the likes of Bill Maher, C.J. Pearson, Pam Geller and that old fart Limbaugh should be a reminder of the noise that tries to distract success.
#IStandWithAhmed is a top tending hashtag.
Maher wasn't impressed with the notion of giving Ahmed all this attention. After all, Maher thinks he's ain't a great inventor.
Maher said that liberals need to stop being so politically correct and consider that maybe in a world where young Muslims are making things to blow people up, it doesn’t hurt anyone to be a little cautious.
He said that he just put clock parts into something else and it “looked exactly like a bomb.”
Comedian Dean Obeidallah has called Maher out.
Dean Obeidallah is a comedian and liberal talk radio host who slammed Bill Maher for his hatred of Islam.
Dean Obeidallah is a comedian who has a show on SiriusXM Insight has taken Maher and Pam Geller to task. Dean wants to know why they single out Muslims when there's been a rise in White extremism.
White extremists follow the Christian Identity movement. They believe that Whites are superior and they are justified in the execution of non-White interlopers. Craig Cobb is an example of an extremist that Pam Geller never calls out. They follow the Holy Bible for their guidance of hate.
Maher has but he's so fixated on Muslim teens and the rise of "radical Islam".
After all, the last Muslim teen who built a bomb was.....
I can't remember a Muslim teen ever building a bomb!
Bigotry exist in the United States. Maher isn't afraid of critics slamming him for his stances. I understand that we do have political correctness. It cuts both ways. It's a reason to why Donald Trump is the Republican front runner.
Republicans are proud extremists. They hate holding back their hatred of others who aren't White, male, Christian and rich.
Any thoughts of the controversial stance Maher's taken towards Islam?
Bigot rips out the Q'uran in front of Wright State University students.
It was confirmed that the 2016 Presidential Debate will be held in Dayton, Ohio at Wright State University. The Republican and Democratic nominee will be here to debate the issues.
Wright State University is celebrating this event. It becomes a first for the university to host the first national debate. It will be televised on major networks and it will help Wright State get national exposure.
Ohio hasn't hosted a debate since 1980.
All this good news was disrupted by a bigot who came to cause some trouble. This man who wanted some local junk food media attention went to Wright State University to protest Islam. When he came to the campus, he brought him a Q'uran, the Islamic holy book. The local news agitators and national media are covering this controversy.
He would tear this holy book in front of the students causing a disruption.
The law couldn't do anything to stop him. He was within his right to be a bigot. But the damage is done.
WDTN reports that the man who wasn't a student came to cause trouble.
The video shows a man who is not enrolled at the university tearing up the Q'uran. As he screamed, “This is evil”, a growing crowd yelled back, “God is Love”. A Wright State spokesperson says the man is a student who travels to campuses across the country to demonstrate.
Serving a helping of Uncle Ben's with a side of turkey. The candidates are following the Trump formula of being ignorant (i.e. politically correct).
Dr. Ben Carson went to GOP Sundays to talk about his poor debate performance. He was on Chuck Todd's show.
Carson was asked about the Donald Trump supporter who questioned President Barack Obama's faith. The moron said that Islam is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution, and he doesn't believe that a Muslim should be elected president.
Carson, the only Black candidate running for the clown car was a former neurosurgeon. I thought he was a smart person. Alas, he's definitely not a smart person. He's a stupid bigot.
"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation," Carson said. "I absolutely would not agree with that."
Carson's moronic comments led to a swift condemnation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other civil rights groups. Many on the left and rational believe the Republicans are extremely stupid.
Tell you the truth, a half of the primary Republican voters can't stomach them all. Only a 28% of primary supporters are in favor of Trump. After the debate, Trump took a slide and Carly took a rise.
Carly Fiorina is another idiot running. After her debate performance, as expected, her polls went up.
The poll shows that Fiorina is in second place or tied with Carson.
The reason why Carson caught so much flack, was the junk food media's coverage of the Trump campaign. This ignorant concern troll caused such an uproar by saying that the president "hates America" and is a Muslim. He said that he would love Trump to "eradicate" Muslims. It became a story. Trump didn't stop the concern troll from making an ass of himself.
Trump was on George Stephanopoulos's show and he didn't hold back. He actually somewhat defended the concern troll. The concern troll's name wasn't released to the public.
All the Republicans were asked about the negative comments from the concern troll. They deflected and distracted.
Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler will meet French president François Hollande. President Barack Obama praised the Americans for stopping a terrorist from carrying out his mass murder plot.
Americans were praised by the French government after they disarmed a terrorist who tried to shoot up a train bound for Paris.
As it left Belgium, the train was traveling through the rural side of the country. After it enter France, the Morocco-born man picked up his piece and began firing.
The passengers were caught off guard by this and were fearing the end was near. Well three Americans and one Brit were there to stop this from becoming a tragedy.
Some witness said that the train staff turned chicken and left the passengers to fend for themselves.
These men gave his a five finger knuckle roll with a side of toe jam seasoning. The Americans put their fear aside and went to action. Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler were passengers on the train and they along with British IT worker Chris Norman handled business. They subdued the shooter and put him in the hospital. He is expected to face criminal charges.
The suspect’s motive was not immediately known, but French prosecutors said counter-terrorism investigators were launching an inquiry. According to early briefings, the gunman was known to French intelligence services and was Moroccan or of Moroccan origin.
Knockout punch served with a side of toe jam seasoning.
Belgian prosecutors said on Saturday they had formally opened an anti-terrorism investigation. “We have opened an inquiry as the suspect boarded the train in Brussels,” Eric van der Sypt, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, said.
The shooting happened just before 6pm in the last carriage of the train, which was carrying 554 passengers. The man had several weapons in his luggage, including a Kalashnikov, an automatic pistol and razor blades.
The attacker was taken into custody as the train was stopped in Arras, about two hours northeast of Paris. He was being interviewed by French counter-terrorism officials Saturday, said French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
Cazeneuve said the attacker, Ayoub El-Qahzzani may be a 26-year-old Moroccan national who was flagged by Spanish authorities last year for links to Islamic extremist movements, but his identity was never confirmed.
World News Today send our prayers to the victims of this tragedy. But we also send our praise to the brave men who disarmed this terrorist.
Feds stop American couple from joining extremist group in Syria.
The Islamic State is a popular breeding ground for the reclusive. Again the most dangerous individual to cause mass causalities are the "NICE GUYS". Yeah, the people who some think are innocent and never would ever do something like this. There are some American people sympathetic to the extremist group's causes. That brings a whole lot of concern to the U.S. Homeland Security and Justice Departments. Some are leaving their families to join the group many in the world call the most dangerous bunch of terrorists since the rise of al-Qaeda.
Of course, many American Muslims denounce the Islamic State. It's also dubbed Da'eesh.
Some supporters are trying to find ways to duck the feds by coding their words. Apparently two Mississippi residents didn't expect the feds were watching. They were caught by their own mistakes.
Socializing online with groups they believe are supporters of the Islamic State. Nope, they the feds.
An American couple was stopped at the gate. They got hitched this year and the plan was going to a country that wasn't Turkey and then sneak into Syria to join the extremist group.
22 year old Muhammad "Mo" Oda Dakhlalla and his wifey 20 year old Jaelyn Delshaun Young-Dakhlalla were nabbed by the feds after they were trying to leave a Mississippi airport. They were going to do an untraceable flight plan.
Not so fast.
The two are being held on federal conspiracy charges which can carry up to 25 years in federal time out. The charges are a devastating blow to the families.
The young woman was a star athlete and student. Her mom is a principal at a school and her father is a part of the law. The young man was a star student. He was a shy, quiet kid who had name recognition but no play in high school. His father is a imam at a local mosque. The family were average middle class and were shocked to hear this.
Family members did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Both are former Mississippi State University students, according to university spokesperson Sid Salter. Dakhlalla, of Starkville, Mississippi, graduated in the spring with a degree in psychology, and Young was last enrolled in the spring as a sophomore studying chemistry.
Ken Coghlan, an attorney representing Young, declined to comment to reporters outside the federal courthouse in Oxford, Mississippi, after a hearing there Tuesday. Greg Park, a federal public defender representing Dakhlalla, also declined to comment.
An affidavit filed in U.S. District Court details how two undercover FBI employees unraveled the alleged scheme.
The couple described their skills and asked how they could help the terror group's efforts. "I am good with computers, education and media," Dakhlalla allegedly wrote in one message to an FBI employee. "What could I contribute?" Young also allegedly told an undercover FBI agent that her skills would be useful. "I am skilled in math and chemistry and worked at an analytical lab here on my college campus. My partner is very good with things like computer science/media. We learn very fast and would love to help with giving medical aid."
In messages detailed in the complaint, the couple seemed enthusiastic, but also concerned about how training would work once they arrived. "Salaam again," Dakhlalla allegedly wrote in a message to an FBI employee. "I wanted to ask about the military experience there. Would I be with people that speak English as well or do they put me with everyone at basic training? I am excited about coming ... but I feel I won't know what all I will be doing."
They showed sympathy to the last incidents of mass murder. The Chattanooga shooting and the failed Garland shooting.
