Six MS-13 members indicted in NJ for murder and plots to kill 2 others.

 An indictment returned this weeks details an MS-13 killing that occurred on July 1, 2015, in West New York, N.J.

 Six members of the violent MS-13 gang have been indicted in New Jersey on murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges.

 The murder victim was a suspected rival gang member who was gunned down entering an apartment building in West New York, N.J., on July 1, 2015, according to the indictment.

 The indictment returned this week by a grand jury in Newark Federal Court says the hit was carried out by MS-13 recruit Juan Garcia-Gomez, 22, as part of his initiation into the gang.

 It alleges that the murder was authorized by a high-ranking MS-13 member, Christian Linares-Rodriguez, 38. who is behind bars in El Salvador.

 Other charges in the indictment include racketeering and extortion.

“Our office has been pursuing and successfully prosecuting the members of the violent transnational gang MS-13 for the crimes they have committed in New Jersey and elsewhere,” Newark U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a news release.

  “The facts described in the indictment returned today make it clear why: This is a vicious organization with no regard for human life or for the laws of our country.”

 The five defendants from New Jersey are citizens of El Salvador, where the gang’s top leaders are based, according to the news release.

 The attorney for Garcia-Gomez said his client maintains his innocence and will plead not guilty when he is arraigned, the Bergen Record reported Thursday.

 The Hudson Reporter posted an article at the time of the murder that identifed Garcia-Gomez’s victim as 19-year-old Jose Lazaro Urias-Hernandez.

 Why are they here in the first place. All this talk about being humanitarian, and allowing people to get away from the violence in their own country. They don't leave for that reason - they leave to spread their brutal murders here!

New York firefighter vacationing in North Carolina rescues 3 girls from rip current.

By Paulina Dedaj | Fox News

  A New York firefighter is being hailed as a hero after rescuing three young girls caught in a rip current along a a North Carolina beachfront. The save came just two days after a 4-year-old boy was swept out to sea off the same coast.

  Sean O’Gorman from the Oswego Fire Department, was vacationing with his family in Emerald Isle, N.C., on Thursday when he noticed two girls in the water who appeared unable to return to shore. A third girl who was attempting to save them also became stuck.

 O’Gorman said he ran to the girls’ mother, who then called 911.

Deciding not to wait for help, O’Gorman swam out to the girls himself.

 SEARCH SUSPENDED FOR BOY, 4, SWEPT AWAY TO SEA OFF NORTH CAROLINA COAST.

 "We were sitting, watching the girls playing in the water about 75 yards out, and I noticed they stopped trying to get back to the shore, and I think they were caught in a rip current,” O’Gorman told The Charlotte Observer.

 “I decided to swim out, which was easy. Getting back was a struggle, with me trying to tow them all in. They were hooked onto my feet."

 The firefighter, who will turn 52 in the coming days, said the girls “did not panic,” and he believed that the local fire department “would’ve gotten to them” had he not gone out.

 Oswego Fire Department confirmed on Facebook that O’Gorman completed swift water rescue training just last week, and by “using the aggressive swim, forceful crawl stroke,” he was able to reach the struggling swimmers.

SWIFT WATER TRAINING PAYS OFF!
 Oswego Firefighter/Medic Sean O’Gorman recently completed swift water rescue training in Auburn last week.

 Today he saved three girls who were caught in a rip current off the of coast of Emerald Isle, North Carolina while on vacation with his family. Using the aggressive swim, forceful crawl stroke he learned in training he was able to reach the girls where their father was unable, even on a surf board.

 By the time firefighters from Emerald Isle arrived FF O’Gorman had everyone out of the water safe.

 Each year, approximately 100 people lose their lives in rip currents.

Deputy Fire Chief for Emergency Management Justin Norfleet told Fox news that their department trains “extensively for marine operations including swift water rescue, ice rescue and dive operations.” He said they are responsible for the shores of Lake Ontario in Central New York and the Oswego River.

 News of the rescue comes just one day after police in Kitty Hawk, N.C., called off the search for a missing 4-year-old who was swept out to sea while walking hand-in-hand with his mother along the beach.

 The unidentified boy, said to be from New Hampshire, was swept out by a rip current just before 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

 In suspending the search a day later, police said they have “now transitioned to recovery efforts.”

The boy had yet to be found at the time of publication on Friday night.

Tomb of President Andrew Jackson, vandalized in Tennessee.

 NASHVILLE, Tenn. –  Officials at Andrew Jackson's historic home in Tennessee say the seventh president's tomb has been vandalized and marred by profanities.

 Andrew Jackson Foundation President and CEO Howard Kittell said the vandalism was discovered early Friday at The Hermitage, the former president's home and museum in Nashville.

 Kittell said someone marred the stone covers of the graves of Jackson and his wife, Rachel, with black and red paint. He said the word "killer" was written, along with profanities, and anarchist symbols were drawn at the site.

 Kittell said a police report has been filed.

Jackson served as president from 1829-1837 and was a controversial figure. He was beloved as a man of the people but also oversaw the forced removal of Native Americans from the southeastern U.S.

Man Admits He Threatened to Kill Rep. Katko for Opposing Net Neutrality. Faces up to five years in prison.

 A man pleaded guilty this week to threatening to kill Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., and his family if he did not support net neutrality.

 A Syracuse man admitted he threatened to kill Rep. John Katko and his family if Katko did not support net neutrality, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.

 Patrick D. Angelo, 29, pleaded guilty to interstate communication of a threat. He faces a maximum five years in prison and $250,000 fine.

Katko represents New York’s 24th District. The largest city in the district is Syracuse.

 On Oct. 19, Angelo called Katko’s Washington, D.C., office and threatened to kill the congressman and his family if he did not support net neutrality, which is “literally the basis of the new society,” he said.

 The U.S. Capitol Police Threat Assessment Section collaborated with the FBI on the investigation and traced the phone call back to Angelo’s number.

“Ironically, yet fittingly, by abandoning rational discourse and resorting to threats against a public official, the defendant has essentially rendered himself a mute in the political process,” U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. said in a statement, the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, New York, reported. “As a democratic republic, we cannot and will not tolerate true threats against those in public office.”

 Below is a transcript of the voicemail Angelo left for Katko’s office, first released by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Western District of New York:

 “Listen Mr. Katko, if you support net neutrality, I will support you. But if you don’t support net neutrality, I will find you and your family and I will kill…you…all. Do you understand? I will literally find all…of…you and your progeny and ... just wipe you from the face of the earth. Net neutrality is more important than the defense of the United States. Net neutrality is more important than free speech. Net neutrality is more important than health care. Net neutrality is literally the basis of the new society. That even if you don’t understand, how important it is, net neutrality is literally the basis of the new … free … society. So if you don’t support it, I am willing to lay down my li- (recording ends).”

 Net neutrality refers to the idea that all internet service providers must deliver unfiltered access to all web content without providing preferential treatment to certain files or communications.

 Angelo’s sentencing is scheduled for June 21.

Illegal alien - Officer Killer booted again from Court over profane outburst before receiving death penalty.

By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News

 The illegal alien burst into laughter in court and said he regretted not killing more people, was sentenced to death Wednesday for the 2014 murder of a Mexifornia sheriff’s deputy and detective -- but not before he was again booted from the courtroom for an outburst.

 The convicted killer, Luis Bracamontes, shouted a racial slur at motorist Anthony Holmes, whom he shot five times during his rampage four years ago, and used profane language toward former Placer County Deputy Chuck Bardo during the hearing, The Sacramento Bee reported.

 “And in the true fashion of a coward, he retreats,” Bardo said as Bracamontes was being escorted out of the courtroom, according to the newspaper.

 The convicted killer gained nationwide attention during his trial in January when he smiled and ripped into a profanity-laced tirade in court, saying, “I wish I had killed more of the mother------s,” and promising to “kill more, kill whoever gets in front of me. ... There's no need for a f---ing trial."

 He also shouted in court that he was guilty and asked to be put to death.

The defense tried to convince the judge to enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. ***OH, HE'S NUTS OK! ****

 Bracamontes clapped as a jury recommended the death penalty in March, The Bee reported.

 He went on a multicounty killing rampage in 2014, murdering Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County Sheriff Detective Michael Davis Jr.

 Fox News’ Lukas Mikelionis contributed to this report.

Former Governor and Senator Dies. 

GOP Presidential Staff Mar/23/18 

  Former Georgia Governor and U.S. Senator Zell Miller died this morning at the age of 86, following a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

 Miller served as Governor from 1991-1999 and later in the U.S. Senate from 2000-2005. 

  According to a statement from his family, Miller passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones.

  Despite being a Democrat, Miller had a maverick reputation – he gave the keynote address at both the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention. As a cultural conservative he was increasingly out of place in a political party that shunned his small town, Appalachian Mountain roots. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

 Miller helped resuscitate Bill Clinton’s failing 1992 presidential campaign and ended up becoming one of the Republican party’s most vocal supporters, that was both his birthplace and the consummate backdrop for his colorful, controversial persona.
  Miller suffered from several illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, in his 80s and late last year his family sent word that he would no longer be making any public appearances.

  Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

U.S. Presidents have hosted participating wounded veterans since President George W. Bush in 2008. Last April, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and the First and Second Ladies welcomed 54 warriors to the White House before their ride.

President Trump Welcomes America’s Wounded Warriors.

4/26/18

 For many veterans, returning to civilian life can be a difficult transition. The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is there to help.

 In other words, WWP empowers warriors to live life on their own terms.

Now nearly a decade and a half old, Soldier Ride is one of WWP’s largest events. Described as a “four-day cycling experience,” these rides are held in communities across the country, with WWP providing hand cycles, trikes, and bicycles for participants with varying physical needs. The ride is designed to challenge veterans both physically and mentally, providing a bonding opportunity with other service members.

 U.S. Presidents have hosted participating wounded veterans since President George W. Bush in 2008. Last April, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and the First and Second Ladies welcomed 54 warriors to the White House before their ride. On April 26, President Trump will once again host a number of Soldier Riders at the White House ahead of their 2018 event.

 As the warriors start their ride in Washington, D.C., they will not only work together, develop camaraderie, and build mental and physical strength. As they ride through the city, they will also spread awareness about the sometimes difficult lives of America’s veterans.

 “Each of you has forged in battle the sacred bonds of loyalty that link our people together,” President Trump said before last year’s Soldier Ride. “Our country, our values, our very way of life, endures because of you, and it endures because brave Americans raise up in every generation . . . to fight for this country and to defend its citizens with every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears in their bodies.”

Trump Drops Breaking News On comey. 

4/26/18 Fox News by Brooke Singman

 President Trump, in an exclusive interview with "Fox & Friends," blasted former FBI Director james comey on Thursday morning as a “liar and a leaker” and said he is “guilty of crimes.”

 The president, who called into “Fox & Friends,” slammed the memos that comey leaked to a friend to spur a special counsel appointment. 

 He said they included classified information, and challenged their accuracy. 

“He leaked classified information to get a special counsel and leaked the memos which are classified – the memos were about me and he didn’t write those memos accurately. He wrote a lot of phony stuff,” Trump said. “He is guilty of crimes.”
