A video segment aired on overnight TV was a cell phone video capture from an eye witness to the initial shootings in Dallas.  One of the gunman can be seen firing toward multiple police officers.
As one officer moves in to engage the shooter he is overwhelmed by the gunman’s firepower, is shot from behind and then shot multiple times as he lays on the sidewalk.

It’s a little odd to see a “not guilty” plea, considering Michael Sandford previously admitted to the plot to assassinate presidential candidate Donald Trump.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – A British citizen pleaded not guilty Wednesday to U.S. federal charges alleging he tried to grab a police officer’s gun to shoot presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a Las Vegas campaign rally.
A judge set an Aug. 22 trial date for Michael Steven Sandford, 20, on charges of disrupting an official function and two firearm possession counts.
Sandford stood wearing a yellow jail jump suit with his federal public defense attorneys during his brief arraignment. (more…)

The evolution of the MSM politically correct “redacted” motive continues….
(Via Time) A 37-year-old man who had previously been charged with providing support to Al-Qaeda was handed a three-count indictment in Toledo, Ohio on Wednesday for soliciting the murder of the federal judge presiding over his case.
Yahya Farooq Mohammad was charged with attempted first-degree murder of a federal officer, solicitation to commit a crime of violence and use of interstate commerce facilities in commission of murder for hire, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Many people are rightly upset the FBI Director James Comey refused to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.   There are indeed ample examples of identical behavior resulting in criminal prosecutions for the same, similar, or even lesser circumstances surrounding Clinton’s behavior.
However, in everything political we all note there are, unfortunately, various quid-pro-quo arrangements based on leverage.  Knowing the system is rigged in that regard doesn’t make anything more acceptable, but it does aid the understanding.

If we think back to the Orlando Terrorist Massacre, one of the intentionally avoided aspects generally hidden by the national MSM surrounded the tips, warning flags, specific warnings sent to the FBI about the possible terror threat from Omar Mateen.
The media portrayed the warnings as stemming from Mateen’s “coworkers“, but we revealed the “coworkers” were actually Sheriff’s Officers.
It was law enforcement, all the way up to the County Sheriff, working at the federal courthouse who told the FBI that Omar Mateen was sketchy, not ordinary citizens or simply “coworkers”. (more…)

(Via Fox News)  At least four security officers were killed and five injured in a suicide bombing Monday outside an Islamic holy site in Medina, according to the Saudi Interior Ministry.

Because the explosion was near Eli Wiesel’s funeral, and with tensions high surrounding recent terrorist attacks; and because of the severity of injury, many are concerned this might not have been a “fireworks incident”.
New York – A blast in Central Park severed the left foot of a young man visiting New York from Virginia Sunday, witnesses said.

The NYPD’s bomb squad was investigating the area of the park near E. 60th St. and Fifth Ave. Cops at the scene suspected a mishap involving fireworks and said it did not appear an explosive device caused the boom heard from blocks away around 11 a.m.
The victim was identified by sources as Connor Golden, 18, from Fairfax, Va. His foot was “all but gone,” one witness said.

Little is known but unfortunately the initial reports show only a handful of hostages rescued.  Five terrorists killed, one captured and two are unaccounted.

The situation is still unfolding but it doesn’t look good.  Initial reports state six to eight heavily armed gunmen shouting “Allahu Akbar” have taken approximately 20 to 30 hostages in a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh at approximately 8pm local time.

Details emerge of how coordinated the terrorist attack was on Ataturk airport in Turkey.  Unfortunately the death toll has risen to 42, and the number of wounded 238.  So far no terror organization has claimed official responsibility, however most intelligence and security analysts believe ISIS was to blame.
TURKEY – The terrorists who killed dozens at a busy airport in Istanbul took advantage of the panic sparked when they opened fire at a security checkpoint to detonate their explosives, according to the Turkish prime minister.
The details from the prime minister and others from a Turkish official come as investigators begin to piece together the timeline of the attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport, which left 42 dead and 238 wounded.
Turkey’s Prime Minister, Binali Yildirim, said today the attack, which took place around 10 p.m. Tuesday, began “when the terrorists couldn’t pass the regular security system, when they couldn’t pass the scanners, police and security controls,” Yildirim said.
“They returned and took out their weapons out of their suitcases and opened fire at random at the security check,” he added. (more…)
