Washington (CNN) The Department of Homeland Security renewed a bulletin late Monday that warned of the dangers posed by homegrown terrorists and called the threat environment in the country one of the “most serious” since the 9/11 attacks.

“We face one of the most serious terror threat environments since the 9/11 attacks as foreign terrorist organizations continue to exploit the Internet to inspire, enable, or direct individuals already here in the homeland to commit terrorist acts,” the bulletin, issued through the National Terrorism Advisory System, said.   Continue reading “DHS issues homegrown terror bulletin”

WEB Notes: Even back in 1976 only 38% believed the Bible to be true. We have discussed this in the past. Many claim to be Christian, but what does that actual mean to them? If you are a Christian you believe in and follow what God’s Word says. You apply it to your life and you live by His Law found within it. Rarely do people do this anymore.

WEB Notes: We have another deal with Arab nations taking place. One the Trump admin calls “Arab NATO”. Sounds like a peace deal to me. Why are they doing this?

“To guide the fight against terrorism and push back against Iran”. 

So not only is Trump now okay with NATO, but he wants to create sub NATO’s. Sounds pretty globalist to me. Essentially, they are combining forces for a future conflict with Iran.

WEB Notes: We have said this over and over again. Social media is used to create a fantasy world and other people see that fantasy and think the person has this perfect life and they live in some perfect world. Look it does not exist. The closest life to perfect you will find in this world is having a close relationship and bond with our Father in Heaven. He provides happiness, he fills that void in your spirit. Christians who have our Father, who study His Word with understanding are the most happy people in this world. Our happiness is a constant “high”. It never goes away unlike bottle tippers and drug attics. You do not need that trash, you need our Father in Heaven. Go to Him in prayer and ask Him to become a part of your life. Then you put in the work to make that happen.

The longest-serving governor in the country is set to become the steward of one of the United States’ most delicate diplomatic relationships.

Later this week, the Senate will likely vote to confirm Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad as ambassador to China. Although he’s not a member of the foreign policy establishment, Republicans and Democrats alike hope his long-standing relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping will ease tensions with a rising global power that’s also one of the United States’ biggest trading partners.   Continue reading “Nation’s Longest-Serving Governor Set To Become Top Diplomat In Beijing”

FBI agents arrested an Arizona man last week for threatening to shoot Rep. Martha McSally, a Republican who represents the same Arizona district Gabrielle Giffords represented when she was shot in the head in 2011.

Steve Martan, 58, left three separate expletive-laden messages on McSally’s congressional office voicemail in early May, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in a U.S. District Court in Tuscon. In the first, he talked about wringing the congresswoman’s neck.  Continue reading “Man Arrested For Threatening U.S. Rep., Telling Her ‘Your Days Are Numbered’”

New standards have been proposed to assure fair treatment for Canadian air travelers, including a measure that would bar airlines from bumping passengers from overbooked flights.

The legislation was introduced a month after a series of scandals related to overbooking emerged that saw passengers forcibly and even violently removed from their flights. In the most notorious recent case, a man was injured while being violently dragged off a plane for refusing to get off.   Continue reading “Canada to outlaw removal of passengers from overbooked flights”

JACKSON, Ga. (AP) — Georgia on Wednesday carried out its first execution this year, putting to death a man convicted of killing his 73-year-old neighbor 25 years ago. J.W. Ledford’s time of death was 1:17 a.m., after an injection of compounded barbiturate pentobarbital at the state prison in Jackson, Warden Eric Sellers told witnesses. Ledford, 45, was convicted of murder in the January 1992 stabbing death of Dr. Harry Johnston in Murray County, northwest Georgia.

Ledford smiled broadly as witnesses entered the execution viewing area. When given a chance to make a final statement, he appeared to quote from the movie “Cool Hand Luke.” “What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach,” he said, later adding, “I am not the failure. You are the failure to communicate.”   Continue reading “Georgia carries out first execution of the year”

When first responders arrived at the scene, they could hear the people crying for help in the rubble, Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald told KMSP-TV.  Continue reading “Tornadoes in Wisconsin, Oklahoma leave 2 dead”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Workers in New Orleans took down a Confederate monument to Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard early Wednesday, the third of four such monuments to come down in the city. New outlets showed footage of the statue being lifted off its base shortly after 3 a.m.

The removal comes after the city has already taken down a statue of the Confederacy’s only president and a memorial to a white rebellion against a biracial Reconstruction-era government in the city. “Today we take another step in defining our City not by our past but by our bright future,” New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a news release. “While we must honor our history, we will not allow the Confederacy to be put on a pedestal in the heart of New Orleans.”   Continue reading “New Orleans takes down 3rd Confederate-era monument”

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has described the CIA as “dangerously incompetent,” in response to the US agency branding him a “friend of terrorists.” The war of words started after RT asked the CIA to comment on reports of its hacking exploits.

“Dictators and terrorists have no better friend in the world than Julian Assange, as theirs is the only privacy he protects,” CIA spokesperson Heather Fritz Horniak told RT in an email.   Continue reading “CIA is world’s most dangerously incompetent spy agency – Assange”

A runaway strain of malware hit Windows computers Friday and spread through the weekend, rendering hundreds of thousands of computers around the world more or less useless. The big twist: The virus was made possible by U.S. government hackers at the National Security Agency. But the finger-pointing won’t stop there, and it probably shouldn’t.

As the worm, known as WannaCry, has been contained, more free time has opened up in which to argue and assign blame beyond the anonymous hackers who used leaked NSA code to assemble the virus, and whatever party decided to turn it into ransomware. Microsoft isn’t holding back.   Continue reading “The Real Roots Of The Worldwide Ransomware Outbreak: Militarism And Greed”
