White House Fence Jumper was out on bail

Legal Insurrection
 

... "According to CBS News, friends of Gonzalez believe that if he had jumped the fence with the intent to harm, he would have brought something more deadly than a three-inch knife.

Jerry Murphy, whose mother was married to Gonzalez for several years, said Gonzalez suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and that he needs treatment, not to be treated like a criminal.
He said Gonzalez has been driving around the country and living out of his truck for the past couple of years, and that he always carries his knife.
“I know he’s got heavy artillery, you know? He’s got all kinds of weapons and he was trained to use them,” Murphy said. “I believe if he wanted to make a scene or cause problems, he very well could have. But it’s clear that he didn’t.”
Officials have said Gonzalez was awarded a medal for his service in Iraq and retired due to disability.

 Secret service criticised after White House intruder prompts evacuation

White House intruder Omar Gonzalez had a knife, attorney's office reveals
If the knife as folded in his pocket and not being brandished, it would be logical to think he was unarmed, But how would they not assume he did not have a bomb strapped under his shirt?
 ... "It said Gonzalez went through the north doors and got inside the mansion.

“ 'After he was apprehended, Omar Gonzalez told United States Secret Service Agent Lee Smart that he was concerned that the atmosphere was collapsing and [he] needed to get the information to the president of the United States so that he could get the word out to the people,” the affidavit said.

"The Secret Service increased security around the White House after Friday’s incident, which represented one of the most significant breaches since Obama became president and raised questions about the security procedures at the White House.

"Gonzalez, 42, from Texas, climbed the fence, ran across the lawn and made it inside the front doors of the White House before being apprehended. "

There Are 7 Types of English Surnames — Which One Is Yours?

Ancestry.com  "Many of us have surnames passed down to us from ancestors in England. Last names weren’t widely used until after the Norman conquest in 1066, but as the country’s population grew, people found it necessary to be more specific when they were talking about somebody else. Thus arose descriptions like Thomas the Baker, Norman son of Richard, Henry the Whitehead, Elizabeth of the Field, and Joan of York that, ultimately, led to many of our current surnames."
...
"Wondering whether your family name is English? Try plugging your surname into the Ancestry.com Last Names Meanings and Origins widget. Type in the surname “Duffield,” and you’ll see it’s English, a “habitational name from places in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire, so named from Old English Dufe ‘dove’ + feld ‘open country.' "

With the Rise of Radical Islam, Multiculturalism is a Spent Force

Some cultures are indeed better than others.

The American Culture

 

"Multiculturalism is a product of relativism; the only way you can believe that all cultures are equally valid and good is if you believe that all values are relative, that there is no objective right or wrong or good or bad. Of course even the most hard core relativist can’t live such a philosophy consistently, but that doesn’t stop them from believing it anyway. Most people with a modicum of common sense realize that some cultures are better than others, but this doesn’t apply to the West’s cultural elite. For them it isn’t only relativism that makes them think such an absurd notion, but an animosity to the West, and mostly to America. The political class in the West bought this silliness for decades, but there is something about radical Muslims beheading people on camera that concentrates the mind.

Multiculturalism and Islam   "Muslims destroying a university may come as a shock to many professors in the West today, for it flies in the face of the multiculturalism they profess. It is too ironic to imagine multiculturalists supporting the very culture that would destroy them."  Read more:

How Soon We Forget the Veteran Who Attacked the White House

The story behind Friday's intrusion: a VA system failing millions like Omar J. Gonzalez.

By Ron Fournier   "September 22, 2014 When a deranged man jumps a 9-foot fence and storms into the White House, the most obvious questions involve security—and so these were among Monday's headlines: "The Secret Service Considers Bigger White House Buffer" (The Washington Post) and "White House May Check Tourists Blocks Away" (The New York Times).

"Beware of the most obvious. The most important angles often lurk below the surface. What struck me about Day 3 coverage of the White House breach was how the intruder had all but been erased from the stories.

 

"His name is Omar J. Gonzalez. He is a decorated Iraq war veteran from Texas, a sniper who was badly wounded by a homemade bomb.  He suffers posttraumatic-stress disorder, his family says. For two years, Gonzales has been homeless and living alone in the wild and in campgrounds. What happened to him? What happens to men and women like him when they return home from war?" ...

The Hillary Letters; Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed

Alana Goodman 
 "NOTE: READ THE HILLARY CLINTON-SAUL ALINSKY LETTERS HERE."
  

 

"Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveals new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her early ideological development.

"Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing.

"Clinton’s relationship with Alinsky, and her support for his philosophy, continued for several years after she entered Yale law school in 1969, two letters obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.

"The letters obtained by the Free Beacon are part of the archives for the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training center for community organizers founded by Alinsky, which are housed at the University of Texas at Austin.

"The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clinton’s early political views than previously known.' ...

 

 

Muslims Launch Powerful Social Media Campaign Against ISIS With #NotInMyName

Mashable    "The extremist group the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) has made effective use of social media to spread propaganda, releasing gory videos on YouTube and launching hashtag campaigns to threaten the United States.

"Now Muslims around the world are fighting back — using the hashtag #NotInMyName to remind the world that ISIS does not represent their religion."
 

 

"The campaign was launched on September 10 by the London-based organization Active Change Foundation with the video embedded at the top of the post."

Sayed Umaar @UmaarKazmi Follow

Another disgusting threat from the un-Islamic State #NotInMyName. We all call for Alan Henning's prompt release.

 

"The murder of an innocent man has no justification in any religion or walk of life," Hanif Qadir, the founder of the Active Change Foundation, told the Mirror, referring to the beheading of David Haines, a British aid worker killed by ISIS fighters on Sept. 13. "These terrorists ISIS are not true Muslims, they do not practice the true teachings of Islam; peace, mercy and compassion and they are the enemy of all mankind.”

"The social media campaign has since then gained steam with more than 14,000 tweets in the last 7 days."

We have wondered for years if Muslims would do what you are doing, fearing there was not a single Muslim that hated the acts of radical Islamists. May our Creator keep you safe and cause your numbers to grow. TD

A Marxist Mistake? AFL-CIO Pushes Get Out The Vote For Mid-Terms Under Soviet-Style Symbol

"Communism, once banned, appears to leave its mark on America's oldest labor federation"

RedState  ... "Nearly two decades later, as Republicans, Democrats and Independents gear up for this fall’s mid-term elections, the special interest group—indirectly funded by union members’ dues—has launched a “get out the vote” page with a symbol that is eerily reminiscent(sp) of the Soviet-era hammer and sickle."

 

"Earlier this month, the AFL-CIO launched a website entitled MyVotMyRight.org which, when clicked on, takes union members to a page on the the AFL-CIO’s website.

"Once there, union members are told that My Vote, My Right is the “AFL-CIO’s voter protection and education program” and a “non-partisan” effort.

"However, as visitors look at the logo in the upper right of the page, they may be surprised to see a symbol that, while one could argue is ‘merely’ a check mark wrapped in a blue hand, appears strikingly similar to the symbol of the former Soviet union—except, instead of the yellow hammer and sickle on a red background, a red hammer is wrapped by a blue hand and the star has the Obama campaign symbol within it.

Here is a screenshot of the page:

What will the next President inherit from Obama?

American Thinker, Complete article.


"If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times since Obama was elected – that every problem he faced as president was inherited from Bush. From Bush’s wars to Bush’s recession, every problem in America, and around the world for that matter, was all Bush’s fault.

"Well, what goes around comes around, and as the presidential campaign season heats up, the big question that needs to be answered by the Democratic presidential nominee will be: What problems will they be “inheriting” from Obama?

"For the fun of it, let’s assume Hillary wins the Democratic nomination. Just how will she answer the “inheritance” question after eight years of an Obama White House?

"Will Hillary say she’s inheriting the “Obama ISIS War,” call Obama a “War Monger,” demand he be stripped of his peace prize,” and say her priority as president is to end “Obama’s Illegitimate War” and bring all the troops home immediately? Will she say she’s inheriting the “Obama Economy,” call it “Obama’s War on the Middle Class,” and promise to fix it before it turns into “Obama’s Depression?” Will she say she’s inheriting “Obama’s Debt,” call Obama “un-patriotic” for running it up to $7 trillion, and promise to cut it in half before the “Obama Bubble” bursts?

"Will she say she’s inheriting an “Obama Economy,” that has created the most economically divided America ever, call Obama a “One-Percenter,” and say “Obama’s Redistribution Doctrine” has done nothing but spread the wealth from the middle class into the pockets of his one-percenter buddies? Will she say she’s inheriting “Obama’s Gas Prices” that have more than doubled since Obama’s election, call Obama the “Big Oil President,” and say he cares more about “Big Oil” profits than he does the middle class or the environment?
Will she say she’s inheriting “Obama’s War on Women,” call Obama a sexist and misogynist who is grabbing women by their hair and pulling them back by not giving them equal pay with men in the Obama White House? Will she say she’s inheriting “Obama’s War on Minorities,” call Obama an Uncle Tom racist, and promise to close the gap between black and white unemployment that has steadily increased since Obama was elected? Will she say she’s inheriting “Obama’s Foreign Fantasy Doctrine” and promise to fix it before it blows-up into “Obama’s WWIII?”

"Seriously, you know there’s not a snowball’s chance that Hillary would ever use any of these “Obama Inheritance” issues during her campaign for president. So how would Hillary really answer those questions after eight years of an Obama presidency that has left such a wake of problems? She’ll simply fall back on the standard Hillary defense she’s used her entire political career:

“With all due respect, the fact is, these issues are real, troubling and ongoing; but are they because of the Obama administration’s policies, or a do-nothing obstructionist Republican Congress - what difference, at this point, does it make?”

The Crumbling Climate-Change Consensus

"Extremists’ rhetoric heats up as their case falls apart."

John Fund

Protesters at the People's Climate March in New York City, September 21.

 

"All day Sunday, they filled the streets of Manhattan for a march that featured Al Gore, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, and various Hollywood actors*.

"But they certainly didn’t act like a movement that was winning. There was a tone of fatalism in the comments of many with whom I spoke; they despair that the kind of radical change they advocate probably won’t result from the normal democratic process. It’s no surprise then that the rhetoric of climate-change activists has become increasingly hysterical. Naomi Klein, author of a new book on the “crisis,” This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, said, “I have seen the future, and it looks like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.” In her new book she demands that North America and Europe pay reparations to poorer countries to compensate for the climate change they cause. She calls her plan a “Marshall Plan for the Earth” and acknowledges that it would cost “hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars.” But she has an easy solution on how to pay for it: “Need more money? Print some!” What’s a little hyperinflation compared to “saving the planet”?" ...  More...
