Russia Claims It Has “Cyber Pearl Harbor” Strike Capabilities

Russia has claimed it can disable the entire US Navy in one fell swoop using powerful electronic signal jamming.

 A news report from the country – where the media is essentially controlled by the state – said the technology could render planes, ships and missiles useless.

 The newsreader says: “Today, our Russian Electronic Warfare (REW) troops can detect and neutralise any target from a ship’s system and a radar, to a satellite.”

 The news report claims a single Russian war plane flew several times around American destroyer the USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea several years ago, disabling its systems and leaving it helpless.

Hornady Takes Stand Against Bullying State Of New York.

But Hornady is on the right track.

 Today, the State of New York did one of the most despicable acts ever perpetrated by any state by asking New York banks, financial institutions and insurance companies to stop doing business with the gun and ammo industry.

 While it may not make a difference to New York, Hornady will not knowingly allow our ammunition to be sold to the State of NY or any NY agencies. Their actions are a blatant and disgusting abuse of office and we won’t be associated with a government that acts like that. They should be ashamed.

-Steve Hornady, president of Hornady Manufacturing Company

 This looks like a drop in the bucket.

However, think for a moment what would happen if every company in the firearm industry stepped up and followed Steve Hornady’s lead?

 While Andrew Cuomo may like to think he’s holding all the cards, he’s not.

He’s protected by people who need guns and ammunition. Multiple state agencies need guns and ammunition, as well.

  What happens when, because of his comments and his push to destroy the gun industry, they can’t get the resources they need? What then?

 Oh, someone will sell to them…at exorbitant prices that keep the retaliatory aspect intact. The law of supply and demand will come into play, after all. If you’re the only one who will sell to them, and they absolutely need it, you can name your own price.

 It’s important to note that Hornady’s decision isn’t exactly unique.

Barrett made a similar move years ago with the state of Mexifornia. No one followed then, but we live in a different world today.

 Today, we’re fighting for our lives. There are moves at every angle to try and stick a knife in the heart of the firearm industry as anti-gunners have become desperate to kill our Second Amendment rights.

 They’ve decided that if they can’t take out the Second Amendment, they’d at least make it impossible for firearm-related companies to do business.

Well, two can play that game.

 Everyone needs to follow the lead of Hornady on this. In an industry that embraces the concept of self-defense, doing things like this make sense. This is self-defense. This is protecting your right to exist from someone who doesn’t believe you have that right.

 Andrew Cuomo is the proverbial thug in an alley threatening the life of the industry.

  The question is, do companies blink, or do they shoot back?

 Middle Eastern Gang’s” Man On The Inside Exposed, “ Closer Than You Would think,

 Apr/27/18

 Like Mohamed Noor in Minneapolis, Jiyayi Suleyman’s presence on the Nashville police force appears to be a manifestation of the general anxiety to avoid charges of “Islamophobia”:

 Nashville officials were so anxious to have a Kurdish Muslim police officer that they put Suleyman on the force and kept him there even after he was caught with the gang, when similar activity would have gotten a non-Muslim officer fired.

 “Gang member infiltrates Metro Police Department,” by Carley Gordon, WSMV, April 20, 2018 (thanks to Robert):

 NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – Jiyayi Suleyman became Nashville’s first Kurdish police officer in 2012.

 According to an investigative file obtained by News4, Suleyman was a member of the Kurdish Pride Gang, a group known for selling illegal guns and drugs.

 Jiyayi Suleyman became Nashville’s first Kurdish police officer in 2012.It was a source of pride for both the community and the department.

 “He was the first Kurdish cop, so he made all of us proud,” said Hamid Hasan, the owner of House of Kabab in Nashville.

 Now Suleyman is out of a job and in trouble. He’s the subject of a criminal investigation.

 According to an investigative file obtained by News4, Suleyman was a member of the Kurdish Pride Gang, a group known for selling illegal guns and drugs.

 Police said he lied on his application about who he was and who he hung out with.

 Once on the inside, he used the TBI’s computer program to look up fellow gang members which is against the rules.

 “I am very surprised, honestly to goodness, I am so mad too because this is not good for anything,” said Hasan when asked by News 4.

 Investigators said they caught Suleyman associating with other gang members at House of Kabab.

 Even after police arrested those gang members for selling drugs and guns they said Suleyman continued to associate with them.

 A search warrant revealed pictures of Suleyman flashing gang signs and wearing gang colors before he ever joined the force….

 The greatest mistakes the stupid co-exist bed wetters can ever make is to put someone who will follow the rules of a barbaric, inbred, 7th Century cult over any laws or the U.S. constitution! muslims will always be muslims first and always. They are encouraged to lie to infidels when it will increase the power of islam. Anything that gives them power of any kind over infidels, increases the power and influence of islam, and the muslims that follow it, are a cancer upon the earth!

 What about the administrators of the Nashville Metro Police Department who (supposedly) vetted, hired, trained and deployed him? Will they be investigated for corruption, or at least rank incompetence? When are the Keystone Kops who hire these criminals onto their forces going to be held responsible for their stupid PC decisions that put the public at risk?

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on May 1, 2018 at 12:54am

 This is just a sample of what is really going on out there. There are various gangs from different groups that have members join the military to hide in plain sight, get training, recruit members, arrange for helpers, and then go on to train other gang members after completion of duty. I am quite sure there are some that have infiltrated military intelligence and pass on info to their associates here and abroad.

 The drug cartels have people in the military, the street gangs have people in the military, and the terrorists de jour have people in the military.

 It should come as no surprise to find them in the police. I suspect that there are far more of these slugs in local, state, and federal law enforcement than we would like to think is possible.

REPORT Trump's Deportation Leader Stepping Down.
4/30/18 The Hill by: Avery Anapol
Thomas Homan, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) who President Trump had tapped to lead the agency permanently, reportedly plans to retire in the coming months.
Three sources familiar with Homan's plans told The Wall Street Journal that he will announce his retirement on Monday and leave the agency in June.
Trump tapped Homan to permanently lead the agency in November, but his nomination has been stalled in the Senate.
The agency's arrests have risen sharply under Homan as part of the Trump administration's push to crack down on illegal immigration.

Kabul Suicide Bombing Leaves 30 Dead, Including At Least Eight Journalists.

 Apr/30/18  Lauretta Brown

 Two suicide bombings in Kabul, Afghanistan left at least 30 people dead Monday, including at least eight journalists. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

 The bomber targeted journalists, disguising himself as a cameraman going to the site after a first explosion, according to Agence France Presse.

 AFP photographer Shah Marai is among the dead.

AFP Global News Director Michele Leridon commented on the death of the photographer in a statement.

 "This is a devastating blow, for the brave staff of our close-knit Kabul bureau and the entire agency,” she said. “Shah Marai was a treasured colleague who spent more than 15 years documenting the tragic conflict in Afghanistan for AFP."

BBC listed other journalists that have been identified as victims:

 Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty confirmed that three of its journa... were killed in the attack.

 Abadullah Hananzai, a journalist and cameraman, had been working on a story about narcotics.

 Maharram Durrani worked on the weekly women's programme.

Sabawoon Kakar had earlier been listed as injured, but died later in hospital

 Tolo News said its cameraman Yar Mohammad Tokhi was among the victims

Afghanistan's 1TV said reporter Ghazi Rasooli and cameraman Nowroz ....

 ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in a statement on the social media app Telegram, according to CNN.

 The group said a "martyrdom brother" blew his explosive vest up among a group of "apostates." They identified the first bomber as Qaqaa al-Kurdi and the second as Khalil al-Qurshi, but did not provide evidence of their claims.

 Interior minister spokesperson Najib Danish told BBC that at least eight journalists and four police officers were among the dead.

  Forty-five people total have been reported injured thus far.

Thousands Stand For Gun Rights At Minnesota Capitol Rally.

2:00 pm Apr/30/18 by Tom Knighton

 The anti-gunners aren’t the only ones who can rally. Pro-gunners can be very activist-like when they want to be. A prime example comes from Minnesota, where thousands attended a pro-gun rally at the state capitol.

 About 2,000 people, some toting handguns and rifles, gathered on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol Saturday, to support gun owners’ rights and to decry firearm regulations proposed by some legislators.

 The rally was organized and promoted by several gun-advocacy groups, including the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance and the National Rifle Association.

 A handful of speakers, including NRA board member Willes Lee, spoke in support of gun ownership.

 “I call B.S. on the government … taking our civil rights,” Lee told the crowd, to cheers. “The Second Amendment affirms my God-given right of self-defense.”

 Other speakers included state Republican Party Chair Jennifer Carnahan, state Rep. Marion O’Neill, R-Maple Lake, and two Republicans who are running for congressional seats. All urged the crowd to support GOP candidates in November’s midterm elections.

 Rally attendees booed mentions of Gov. Mark Dayton, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and state Sen. Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, who introduced two gun-safety measures that were rejected earlier this week. They jeered mandatory gun registration, chamber limits and universal background checks.

 “There’s some that don’t want to carry a gun on their hip or own a firearm to protect their family, and that’s fine,” said Pete Stauber, who is running for a congressional seat in Minnesota’s Eighth District. “But you don’t take it away from us defending ourselves, our families and our grandkids.”

Several in attendance had handguns holstered to their waists or rifles slung across their backs and chests.

 I’m not a fan of carrying a gun at a political rally or protest for a lot of reasons, but partially because it gives journalists a reason to mention it, thus painting us all as 'loonies' who can’t go a single minute without a gun in reach, like we’re addicts. But I get that not everyone agrees, and it’s not the end of the world.

 What really matters, is that thousands stood before their state capitol and made it clear that they support the Second Amendment.

  While anti-gunners routinely think the public is really with them, this sends lawmakers a clear signal that polling numbers are irrelevant in the face of determined patriots who AREN'T going down without a fight.

 This is especially true, considering many who may support gun control don’t make it a priority while those who support the Second Amendment do. In other words, come after the guns if you wish, but it won’t work out well for you.

  Like the flag warns, “Don’t Tread On Me!”

FAKE News: The NRA Didn’t Ban Guns At Their Annual Event.

 Apr/30/18  Matt Vespa 

The National Rifle Association’s annual meeting is upon us and like allergy season, the news media is saying that the organization banned guns because Vice President Mike Pence and President Trump are attending.

 The organization’s convention will be held in Dallas, Texas this week.

Oh, and you know this is fake news, right? 

 NRA bans guns at President Trump, VP Pence speeches during it's annual meeting in Dallas. The Associated Press  Apr/30/18

 Here’s what Politico reported;

Parkland survivors criticized the National Rifle Association after it banned guns from Vice President Mike Pence’s upcoming speech at the organizati...

 The NRA posted a disclaimer on the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum event page, saying that due to Pence’s attendance, Secret Service will be responsible for event security. Therefore, “firearms and firearm accessories, knives or weapons of any kind will be prohibited in the forum prior to and during his attendance."

 President Donald Trump will also reportedly speak at the convention and firearms will be banned for his portion as well.

 Here’s the Associated Press after they tweeted that the NRA banned guns.

 See Update; 

Attendees at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Dallas can carry their firearms — except during the forum where President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence speak Friday.

 A White House official said Monday that Trump will attend Friday. Pence had already been slated to speak at Friday’s leadership forum,

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on April 30, 2018 at 8:18pm

 The NRA has said on its website that due to Pence’s attendance, the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for security then. It’s standard for the Secret Service to bar firearms from being carried into places visited by the people they protect, regardless of state laws.

 There you have it. The NRA did not ban guns at the event, but in cases where the president and vice president of the United States are addressing the convention, it’s quite understandable that the Secret Service doesn’t want firearms near them.

 The Secret Service made this security measure, not the NRA!

Yet, even leaving the Secret Service element aside, the notice about carrying firearms was clearly stated on the website:

 During the 2018 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits,This NOTICE was posted.

Lawfully carried firearms will be permitted in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and the Omni Dallas Hotel in accordance with Texas law.

 When carrying your firearm remember to follow all federal, state, and local laws.

So, can we drop this idiocy about the NRA banning guns? This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s just another attempt to bash one of the nation’s oldest civil rights organizations by anti-gun left-wingers. Keep it up, folks. We know there’s an election in November. 

UPDATE: Kudos to AP for correcting their headline:

Media Paint it As Cruel that Immigrants from Caravan Are Being Detained at Border.

 Apr/30/18 Cortney O'Brien

About 100 individuals who were a part of the caravan from Mexico have reached the U.S. border in search of asylum. They have not gotten any further because border patrol is detaining them.

 Some media outlets are painting the situation as cruel and unusual. Just a take a look at some of the ledes.

NBC:  More than a hundred migrants who made a grueling journey to the U.S. border were stranded on the last leg of their trip on Monday as they waited to plead their case to seek asylum after immigration officials said the crossing was at capacity.

CNN: After a difficult, monthlong journey from Central America to the US-Mexico border, dozens of asylum-seeking migrants are vowing to remain outside an immigration processing center until "every last one" is admitted into the country, an organizer with the caravan said late Sunday.

 The caravan, CNN adds, "is both a humanitarian and an activist mission, as organizers created the event to draw greater attention to the migrants' plight."

 The Washington Post's headline was also sympathetic toward the caravan. "At end of migrant caravan on U.S. border, families fear what comes next." The migrants are "depleted" but "defiant," the editors wrote.

 Trump doesn't exactly see the situation through the same empathetic eyes. In a tweet last week, he vowed not to let the trespassing alien caravan pass!

 At a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari Monday, President Trump was asked how many of those individuals at the border he believes deserves asylum?

 "We are a nation of laws," he responded. "If we don't have a border we don't have a country!" 

 He's been watching the caravan "for weeks," he said, before reiterating they need a wall.

 His decision to send more National Guard troops to the border has been having "a big impact," but policies like catch and release are "ridiculous."

 U.S. border laws are "obsolete," "weak" and "pathetic," Trump said. 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen emphasized Trump's stand.

 "If members of the 'caravan' enter the country illegally, they will be referred for prosecution for illegal entry in accordance with existing law," she said in a statement.
