UPDATE 7:00pm: A Minneapolis police officer was shot this morning in what the police department believes to be a targeted shooting; that is, he was shot at specifically because he was a cop.
Officer Jordan Davis and his partner were responding to a burglary when Davis was shot standing around the police car. He was rushed to the hospital and other officers ended up arresting Andrew Neal (pictured here –>).
Police Chief Janeé Harteau believes Davis was targeted, saying, “There is little doubt that an officer was the intended target of this shooting and that this officer just happened to be the one who was there. This is a reminder to all that every one of our officers face such danger simply because they choose to wear a uniform.”  (link)

Earlier – It would appear the #F**kThePolice activists are still working diligently to kill cops.  Meanwhile, DHS creates domestic terrorism reports ignoring their attempts…. go figure.

(CNN)—A Minneapolis police officer sitting in his patrol car was shot Saturday morning, and Police Chief Janee Harteau said “there is little doubt that an officer was the intended target.”

The wounded officer was one of two who had just finished responding to a reported burglary when he was shot just before 5 a.m. (6 a.m. ET), Minneapolis police said in a statement. His partner promptly drove him to a nearby hospital, where he was in stable condition later Saturday morning. (more…)

The one constant in an ever changing universe continues to be that anyone in governmental leadership, who is insufferably horrible at their job, will always get promoted.
Today the White House announces that top State Department spokesperson, Jen Psaki, has been promoted to top communications job in the White House.   Hashtag diplomacy comes to the White House.

However, simultaneously it is also reported that Marie Harf will not take Psaki’s job. Apparently, Harf failed her test run miserably this past weekend when she was on tour promoting the “Jobs for Jihadi’s” program talking points.
What was supposed to be an opportunity for Harf to show how she could handle the job of selling Secretary of State John Kerry’s grand paradigm shift, instead ended up creating a week of ridicule for Kerry and his boss, President Obama. (more…)

The Seattle Times waxes philosophically about gender issues within the graduation ceremony for High School students. Apparently, in years gone by, boys and girls wore differing color robes for graduation.
Now, amid the multi-cultural progressive dynamics of disingenuous gender labeling, they appear perplexed as they study the potential ramifications inherent within a singular color robe to protect the delicate sensibilities of trans-somethingorother.
Obviously the higher education authority is committed to the progressive mind now grasping to reconcile the challenge of how to retain little boxes they use to define each young member of society, yet affording a cohesive sense of unity – or something equally stupid.

[…] The band strikes the first note of a processional song. Then come the students two by two — girls draped in green robes, boys in black. For the whole event, the girls sit separate from the boys on opposite sides of a wide aisle.

Five other Seattle high schools graduate in a similar way, with gender-specific gowns. At least one school in Shoreline and two in the Lake Washington School District do, too.

Putting former Harvard University Professor Ashton Carter in charge of the U.S. Military for the last two years of President Obama’s tenure will show what happens when a person with ZERO military experience becomes Defense Secretary.

Carter is an academic policy wonk of the same mindset and world view as Samantha Power (now UN Ambassador and wife of former Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein). That comparative will become more evident as the next two years progress. There is nothing about Aston Carter, nor his individual opinion of the military, which would lend a person to believe there is any inherent qualification which would benefit the Defense Department.
To the contrary, Carter should be fully anticipated to weaken the Military, through policy, in the same way that Samantha Power has influenced foreign policy to diminish U.S. influence globally. He begins the process immediately with a decision to have a civilian, non-military, spokesperson represent the public face of the Pentagon. (more…)

(Via New York Mag) If you’re a lady walking down the street and you come upon a kitten covered in Nutella posing next to a poster of the nail emoji, beware! ISIS operatives could be lurking nearby, ready to recruit you and make you their jihadi brides — at least according to CNN.

On a segment aired Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Carol Costello discussed how ISIS is exploiting women’s three known weaknesses — Nutella, kittens, and emoji — to recruit them for the caliphate. (more…)

The Democrat Party is apoplectic with rage at the determination by a Federal Court Judge who has blocked the Obama implementation of the “executive action” in changing immigration status and law. However, the anger is now exposing the dark underbelly of the Democrat plan to usurp voter law.
In this video you see one such exposure. Democrat Representative Louis Gutierrez claiming that now, because of the judicial ruling, the Democrat party will assist the illegal alien community in registering to vote, voting and expressing voter anger.

This admission by Gutierrez should be used by every advocacy group who is trying to insure voter integrity. It is clear evidence of exactly why voter identification is needed in every state and Gutierrez’s admission actually supports the position of why such voter integrity laws are needed. (more…)

Expect more of this, it is a typical strategy of both CAIR and the BGI…. They are simply feeding a media narrative which supports the false filings.
(Via Daily Caller)  A Muslim student at the University of Texas, Arlington admitted she lied when she claimed that a man followed her to school on Wednesday and threatened her with a gun.
The student posted the claim on Facebook and made reference to Tuesday’s triple murder of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Numerous Muslim groups are alleging that that shooting was a hate crime.
The UTA student claimed that at around 9 a.m. on Wednesday a white man driving a white pickup truck with a Texas flag on the antenna followed her for six miles to campus.
After arriving at the school, the student said that the man, who she claimed was wearing a camouflage baseball cap, got out of his truck, threatened her verbally, and then pointed a handgun at her.  (read more)

ANOTHER – “bunch of random folks in a cafe’ in Copenhagen”

[…]“The cafe in northern Copenhagen, known for its jazz concerts, was hosting an event titled “Art, blasphemy and the freedom of expression” when the shots were fired. Niels Ivar Larsen, one of the speakers at the event, told TV2 that at least two people were wounded. (link)

Last October, the Willamette Weekly newspaper published an exposé showing how the governor’s fiancé, Cynthia Hayes, was taking money as a private consultant to environment groups and then pushing their policies in her public role as “First Lady” of the state. Most infamously, she ordered state employees to follow a policy she was being paid $25,000 by an advocacy group to promote. Apparently, some of the money also wasn’t reported on tax returns. (link)

OREGON – Long-time Democratic Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber on Friday announced his resignation amid allegations his fiancee used her relationship with him to enrich herself.
In a lengthy statement released Friday, Kitzhaber said he broke no laws and said his resignation would be effective on Wednesday.  “Nonetheless, I understand that I have become a liability to the very institutions and policies to which I have dedicated my career and, indeed, my entire adult life,” he said.
The decision capped a wild week in which Kitzhaber seemed poised to step down, then changed his mind, but ultimately bowed to calls from legislative leaders that he quit the state’s top job. (more…)

The U.S. State Department ordered our U.S. marines to destroy their military weapons at the Yemen embassy prior to leaving. The marine detachment was then forced to destroy their personal weapons as a contingency for being allowed aboard a contracted evacuation flight. The servicemen and servicewomen were left without any form of protection.
Apparently CENTCOM is not happy with the John Kerry State Department who chose to put our military in a defenseless position. John Kerry rumored to not exactly give a s**t; after all they’re only stupid soldiers – not grand magnanimous intellectuals like Marie Harf and Patrick Kennedy.
The Marine Corps has clarified what Marines did under State Department orders in Yemen following the evacuation of the U.S. embassy. Full statement below:
