Is Obama And DHS Withholding Info On Dallas Shooter Micah Johnson

Micah Johnson
Hell Yea I Kill White People

 

Officials at the Cause of Action Institute, a nonprofit government oversight group, are seeking documents they believe may show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is withholding vital information about the Dallas shooter from the public.

Micah Johnson killed five police officers in Dallas July 7 before police killed him with a bomb delivered by a robot

“Statements about the shootings by President Obama and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson raise questions about the DHS role in responding to the Dallas shooting and whether there is information about the shooter being withheld from the public,” said the group’s president and CEO, former federal judge Alfred J. Lechner, in a statement.

“Because Secretary Johnson appears to be the first public official to confirm that only one shooter existed, it raises questions as to what extent DHS was involved during the aftermath of the shooting and why local authorities were not first in alerting the public.”

“Additionally, discrepancies between statements by President Obama and the Dallas police chief raise concerns that there may be additional information about the motives of the gunman that are being withheld from the public by the Obama administration,” Lechner continued.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown initially said multiple suspects were involved on July 8 and that three were taken into custody, but the DHS secretary contradicted those reports later that day, announcing Micah Johnson acted alone.

“Johnson was the first public official to announce that the gunman was a sole actor,” the group’s FOIA request says, citing a Weekly Standard article. “Because Secretary Johnson appears to be the first public official to confirm that only one shooter existed, it raises questions as to what extent DHS was involved during the aftermath of the shooting and why local authorities were not first in alerting the public.”

Obama said the gunman’s motives were unclear, while Brown said the shooter “was upset about the recent police shootings … and he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.

“The discrepancy between the two statements raises concerns that there may be additional information about the motives of the gunman that are being withheld from the public by the Obama Administration,” Cause of Action Institute said in its FOIA request.

The group seeks July 7 communication records for the DHS Office of the Secretary and the DHS Office for State and Local Enforcement sent to or received from the Executive office of the President, the Dallas police department, the Dallas Mayor’s office, the Texas Governor’s office and the Department of Justice.

Cause of Action Institute is also seeking internal communications records from the two DHS offices regarding the Dallas shooter, as well as all records regarding the gunman since January 1, 2015.

Iowa Church Files Lawsuit Over Damn Transgender Men In Women’s Restrooms

The Fort Des Moines Church of Christ said the commission is violating the church’s freedom of religion with its interpretation of the Iowa Civil Rights Act.

The 32-page lawsuit seeks to strike down as unconstitutional a portion of a 2007 Iowa law that could apply transgender bathroom rules to churches.

The Fort Des Moines Church of Christ filed the lawsuit on Monday against the Iowa Civil Rights Commission seeking to keep the state from enforcing rules allowing biological males who identify as women to use women’s bathrooms and showers and the same for females identifying as men.

The commission has said the state law sometimes applies to churches, which the church says would be a violation of its constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of religion.

“The Iowa Civil Rights Commission is essentially marching right into the church and directing how Fort Des Moines must use its own facilities. It is an astonishingly unprecedented government overreach,” said Christiana Holcomb, of the Alliance Defending Freedom for Faith, for Justice.

Tom Conley is an Iowa Civil Rights commissioner. He said the commission was just doing its job and following the law and his personal feeling is this is an issue that can be resolved.

“I think there is room for compromise and I don’t think we’ve really had that. On one hand, we have people who believe their religious rights are being violated.  On the other hand, there is a perception people who are transgender, gay, or lesbian are trying if you will — to cram it down the throat of people who aren’t,” said Conley.

Conley suggests a third gender neutral bathroom could be the solution.

Donna Red Wing is the executive director for One Iowa, which advocates for LGBTQ.

She said there is a legal line the church has crossed.

“If they are involved in a bonafide religious activity they are exempt. If they are offering public accommodation that could be a camp open to all kids, could be a food pantry. If they receive funds from local, state, or federal government that takes them out of the bonafide religious activity into public accommodation,” said Red Wing.

Obama Says Hillary Clinton Is More Qualified Than Any Candidate

President Obama repeated his claim Tuesday that no candidate has ever been more qualified to be President of the United States than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Obama endorsed his former secretary of state last month, and Tuesday’s rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, marked his first joint appearance with her on the campaign trail. Earlier in the day, FBI Director James Comey gave a scathing statement about Clinton’s private email conduct at the State Department, calling her “extremely careless” with classified material although not recommending charges be brought.

Obama took a shot at Clinton’s prospective opponent, Republican Donald Trump, saying anybody can “tweet” but “nobody actually knows what it takes to do the job until you’ve sat behind the desk.”

“Hillary Clinton has been tested,” Obama said. “She has seen up close what’s involved in making those decisions. She has participated in the meetings in whose decisions have been made. She’s seen the consequences of things working well and things not working well, and there has never been any man or woman more qualified for this office than Hillary Clinton. Ever. And that’s the truth. That’s the truth.”

The crowd chanted “Hillary” in approval.

“So the bottom line is I know Hillary can do the job,” Obama said. “And that’s why I am so proud, North Carolina, to endorse Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States.”

Farrakhan Hates the Jews and John Conyers Apologizes

Farrakhan Hates the Jews

U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, apologized today for Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic comments during a talk he gave in a Detroit church last week.

Conyers, who attended Farrakhan’s speech Friday night at Fellowship Chapel, issued a strong statement that distanced himself from the Nation of Islam leader’s remarks, which were blasted earlier this week by a Jewish civil rights group and others.

“Farrakhan made unacceptable racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic statements, which I condemn in the strongest possible terms,” Conyers said. “It was my expectation that Minister Farrakhan’s speech would focus on the many challenges facing the city of Detroit. In previous days, he had discussed efforts to revitalize our city by purchasing property and investing in blighted neighborhoods. Regrettably, he used this opportunity to promote views that have no place in civilized discourse.”

As the Free Press reported exclusively,Farrakhan attacked what he called “Satanic Jews” and the “Synagogue of Satan,”claiming Jewish people control major institutions in the U.S., such as the news media. Farrakhan also alleged that President Barack Obama “surrounded himself with Satan … members of the Jewish community.”

Conyers was slammed by conservative websites Wednesday for his presence at Farrakhan’s speech; his attendance was noted on the influential Drudge Report. Also, the country’s leading Jewish civil rights group, the Anti-Defamation League, released a statement Tuesday asking why Conyers and other Detroit leaders did not condemn Farrakhan’s remarks at the church, which is led by the head of the Detroit Branch NAACP, the Rev. Wendell Anthony.

Conyers said in his statement: “The fact that Minister Farrakhan has engaged in important charitable work aimed at expanding economic opportunities for underserved communities does not excuse these statements. I sincerely offer my apologies to my constituents and others who also may have been offended by the minister’s words.”

In a speech May 16 at a separate church in Detroit, Farrakhan denied he was anti-Semitic, saying: “Why do they say that Farrakhan is anti-Semitic? I’m 80 years old. I’ve never been arrested, not even for spitting on a sidewalk. … Is there a Jewish synagogue I’ve defaced?”

Single Mom with Cancer Presses On (Happy Mother's Day)

Mother's are Wonderful

 

FORT WORTH — Anyone who thinks motherhood alone is challenging should try it Christine Garcia’s way — accompanied by chemotherapy.

“It’s hard,” she concedes. “I’m a single parent; don’t have the support that I would love to have. I mean, my family is all back at home in Florida, so I do this alone with him.”

Garcia is speaking about her six-year old son, Eduardo. His homemade cards show he understands that his mom has lost her hair, her breasts, and her energy.

“He knows everything,” Garcia said through tears. “He’s the reason why I wake up every morning.”

“I make his breakfast every day — sick or not sick. I have to make his breakfast before he goes to school, take him to school, go to work, full-time job,” she said.

Employees at the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders in Fort Worth, where Garcia undergoes chemotherapy and radiation, understand how hard it is to fight alone, then go to work and be a good mom.

Inspired by Garcia’s strength, they put together a surprise gift basket, then treated her to medically-approved spa treatments to make her life a little easier.

“We want you to be able to enjoy time with your son and not have to cook on Mother’s Day,” said Roxanne Martinez, who is also a breast cancer survivor and new mother.

“I don’t know what to say,” said Garcia through her tears.

Christine Garcia may not have relatives nearby, but her “family” at the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders is helping her maintain the fortitude to fight on.

Tennessee man kills himself after American Most Wanted Helps Find Him

Coward Kills Himself

The fugitive suspected of killing a Tennessee mother and daughter and kidnapping two younger daughters died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, authorities say, after police traced him to a town in Mississippi and found the two girls alive and safe.

Adam Mayes, 35, who just Wednesday had been added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Fugitive List, was found based on a tip received after a large reward was offered.

Guntown Police Chief Michael Hall says a SWAT team located Mayes in New Albany, Miss., and when they moved in to apprehend him, he shot himself.

Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said Mayes was still alive — in critical condition — when police took him into custody. He later died from his injury, the FBI confirmed.

Police said the two girls, Alexandria Bain, 12, and Kyliyah Bain, 8, were taken to a hospital for observation. It was not immediately clear if they were with Mayes when he was found.

Mayes had been charged with first-degree murder, along with his wife, Teresa Mayes, in the April 27 deaths of Jo Ann Bain, 31, and her daughter, Adrienne, 14. Their bodies were found buried outside the Mayes’ home a week after they were reported missing by Jo Ann Bain’s husband, Gary Bain.

Teresa Mayes told investigators that after she saw her husband kill the two in the garage at the Bain home, she drove him, the younger girls and the bodies to Mississippi, according to affidavits filed in court. She faces six felony counts in the case: two first-degree murder charges and four especially aggravated kidnapping charges.

Mayes’ mother-in-law Josie Tate told The Associated Press that Mayes thought the once-missing sisters might actually be his daughters and it caused problems in his marriage to her daughter, Teresa, who is jailed in the case.

In an earlier interview, Tate’s daughter, Bobbi Booth, said Teresa Mayes suspected her husband was having an affair with Jo Ann Bain.

Mayes was often at the Bain home. Authorities said he was spending the night there before the mother and daughters were reported missing so he could help the family to pack for a planned move to Tucson, Ariz., and then drive their belongings west.

State and local law enforcement agents searched for Mayes on Thursday in a densely wooded area about 10 miles from Mayes’ home near Guntown, Miss. State troopers blocked a road, stopped vehicles and searched their trunks.

Authorities said Mayes had changed his appearance since the mother and children were reported missing. They released surveillance video of him with short hair at a market near Guntown.
