Someone wanted these US seamen captured for a reason, and I doubt it was the Obama regime, looking to get upstaged on State of the Union night with empty seats by Muchelle Obama.

Lame Cherry Wisdom II. This El Chapo thing with Sean Penn, is only interesting if you leave Sean Penn out of the story.

And finally, Peace in Our Time.

…The fraud of the press in this is immense, as there was a constant litany of “Mideast Peace” in harping at Ronald Reagan over this, but we never hear the press demanding such from the Obama regime, for the simple reason Obama has so obliterated peace, that it can never appear as he is the messiah of war.

Philadelphia shooter ‘does not appear’ to be observant Muslim: CAIR

Hours later same source (Reuters/Yahoo) changes tune.

From http://news.yahoo.com/shooter-philadelphia-policeman-described-quiet-devout-muslim-044834349.html

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – The gunman who claimed allegiance to Islamic State after shooting a Philadelphia police officer was described by people who knew him as a devout, quiet Muslim who became more “combative” after trips to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

It wouldn’t be a stretch then to conclude, based on that line, that CAIR really doesn’t have a connection to the everyday Muslim, would it? Then why do they have so much political pull?

And let me add my voice to those who question why the charges against the shooter, attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault of a law enforcement officer, do not include terrorist related Homeland Security based crimes. Couldn’t possibly be because of Muslims at the top, could it?

Turn it up some and pay attention.

In Oregon there are activities getting cranked up that were warned about days ago.

From the Oath Keepers January 1 announcement The Hammond Family Does NOT Want an Armed Stand Off

We cannot force ourselves or our protection on people who do not want it. Dwight and Steven Hammond have made it clear, through their attorney, that they just want to turn themselves in and serve out their sentence. And that clear statement of their intent should be the end of the discussion on this. No patriot group or individual has the right or the authority to force an armed stand off on this family, or around them, against their wishes. You cannot help someone who does not want your help, and who are not willing and ready to take a hard stand themselves.

Mike Vanderboegh at SipseyStreetIrregulars.BlogSpot shares his understanding of the players attempting to usurp the Hammond Family’s expressed intentions.

Based on the Conservative Tree House account, numerous federal bureaucracies launched a coordinated war against the Hammonds that appears to be never ending and fraught with prejudicial irregularities.

There are plenty of reasons to act against the out of control bureaucrats judging from the Conservative Tree House account. At this point, following characters of questionable intent who contradict the desires of the principals suffering the full force of the federal aggression would not be a smart thing to do. The domestic enemies have announced their intentions to attack the Second Amendment this year. Their unrelenting assault on the Hammond family is a perfect example of the necessity for the right to keep and bear arms. While there is no going back once the Second Amendment is called on and put in play, there is still a great deal of ground to be gained by preserving those twenty seven words arranged in that most profound fashion. Having it to wave in their faces is a power they are unable to respond to. Don’t let them take it.

In the meantime, keep focused on your neighborhood, my friends.

Don’t want to scare anyone with reality but…

the politicians do their treasonous best.

Senator Sessions reviews the passed in the night Omnibus bill

Another layer of tax slavery has been forged and slipped over our shoulders. It’s getting so the chains are taking on the appearance of a layer of mail; an armor the weak of mind and proud of it democrat seekers of anything that will numb even further that which God provided them with to help make the choices necessary for humanity’s survival celebrate; an armor they will soon be polishing up and proudly displaying proof of next to their Obama and Hillary bumper stickers.

New and improved political shackles have been clamped surely to our ankles and our productive grease producing elbows have been bound together behind our backs; for the Chamber of Kommisars have increased the numbers of third world human imports approved as necessary to take whatever American jobs are left and their low wages will be supplemented by your taxes. At least until you can no longer afford to pay them.

Any remaining traces of our American culture are expected to disappear UNnoticed.

This has been another WakeTF Up, America moment.

Get used to it.

I probably would have missed this story if a friend didn’t call me this morning on his way to work. We weren’t talking long when I could hear sirens passing him by. He finally mentioned the numbers of police vehicles passing him and seeing heavy smoke in the distance.

Not much information provided in any story I came across this evening about the activity except a Pennsylvania State Trooper was shot in the shoulder and the bad guy ran his car into an empty school bus that burst into flames.

Here’s a couple of news reports…

http://triblive.com/state/pennsylvania/9505291-74/philadelphia-police-shot#axzz3sSieUvSr

http://www.phillymag.com/news/2015/11/24/676-bus-fire-trooper-shooting/

This story is significant as an example of the stresses built into the management of the forces that respond to situations displaying characteristics of a terror attack or possible cartel battle activity brought on by the political designation of Philadelphia as a sanctuary city and the almost immediate impact of that designation as noted in the recently released 2015 DEA/DOJ Drug Threat Assessment (which as far as I know has not received any local Philadelphia coverage, yet).

It also serves as a timely example of the counterpoint raised in the November 19 post about the PA governor’s dangerous and unimaginative reliance on the LEO infrastructure to battle the almost expected domestic terrorist attacks as explained in the Prudence and Perfidy piece.

Not to beat the subject to death but the recent shooting and school bus burning event on 676, and I doubt the bad guys don’t understand this, this event involved a major portion of the LEO’s assets on the street. I think it is safe to assume the number of bad guys far outnumber the professional Good Guys out in the street at any time. I don’t know why these politicians allow their fear of armed citizens to prevent them from organizing a back up readiness force in these days of increasing chaos.

Well, yeah, I do think I know what drives their fear of an armed populous but if they weren’t screwing the citizens on a regular basis there wouldn’t be a basis for that fear, would there?

A lesser observation. One of those articles described the bad guy that was still on the loose as having a tattoo under the left eye. Not very helpful but some general possible conclusions one can reach is that tattoo indicates the individual has likely spent some time incarcerated and/or is Hispanic/Mexican.

I guess it can be coincidence that the aforementioned DEA/DOJ Report recognized Philadelphia as an attractive place for a Mexican cartel to set up shop because there is not as much law enforcement interest here as in their work centers in the Southern part of the U.S. Probably something to do with it being a sanctuary city.

Another riddle to puzzle on.

Be safe out there.

The DEA-DOJ Drug Threat Assessment 2015 has just been released and Philadelphia’s outgoing Mayor Nutter’s recent back pedaling from his 2014 declaration that Philadelphia will be known as a sanctuary city is likely explained on PAGE TWO of the yearly report.

From http://www.dea.gov/docs/2015%20NDTA%20Report.pdf

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Mexican TCOs are showing increasing interest in establishing distribution hubs in northeastern US cities
such as Philadelphia. Intelligence indicates these TCOs may wish to bypass traditional hubs in the southeastern United States due to
law enforcement pressure.

As I recall, the democrat leader’s logic prior to his Obama-like declaration of establishing a sanctuary city was that the invaders would be more willing to cooperate with law enforcement in reporting crimes if they didn’t fear getting deported. Yeah, right. It looks like that’s another democrat plan that crashed and burned right into the law abiding, tax paying portion of society that contributes heavily to maintaining some semblance of civilization.

But at least it appears as if he’s recognized his mistake unlike the next scheduled democrat genius grand poobah of Philadelphia. This guy has indicated he doesn’t want to give anything back to the forces of all that is good and orderly. Evidently, he got all his knowledge about immigration law from Ed Rendell and is not ashamed to echo his master’s voice.

When Rendell was governor he set the bar pretty low when he said the only people who belong here ( the United States ) are the Indians. Rendell may still be completely unaware that science determined even the Indians came from somewhere else… Asia.

The next few days are going to be interesting for a couple of reasons. One, to see if the local media pick up the story and two, to see the reaction of the next mayor of Philadelphia to the news.
