The $1.1 trillion federal spending bill rammed through Congress provides a half-billion dollars to arm and train ISIS-linked Syrian rebels who could potentially launch terrorist attacks against the U.S.

Section 9016 of the spending bill authorizes the Secretary of Defense $500,000,000 to equip “appropriately vetted elements of the Syrian opposition” who will defend “the Syrian people from attacks by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,” but back in September ISIS signed a truce with the remaining rebel groups and they are now working together against the Syrian government.   Continue reading “Spending Bill Grants Half-Billion to ISIS-Linked Syrian Rebels”

DES MOINES, Iowa — President Obama is calling for more transparency in police departments with the use of police body cameras to record officers’ interaction with the public. But what happens when a police department refuses to turn over body-camera video, even though the law requires it?
