If the DHS is defunded, we will not receive any more valuable warnings like this one.

He’s head of DHS and that’s all he’s got?


Next up, he’ll be crying about some Jamie Gorelick-type wall between DHS and FBI, etc...

> This looks suspiciously like a fabricated “threat” to keep the Repubicas from cutting off DHS funds so Obama’s Free Stuff for Illegals program can be funded. They lie to get ther way all the time.

You know, you’re probably absolutely right. The timing is suspect.

I’m not sure what good firearms are against a suicide bomber.

Who put the Baab in the Al-Shabaab, Shabaab
Who put the bomb in the Mall of America?

Seriously, the streets of Bloomington-Richfield-MSP International are too cold for the riff-raff of any continent today. All is pretty quiet.

Whew -- guess I'll go TOMORROW, instead of today...

How are the Concealed Carry Numbers in that area? I hope that at least 1 in 5 are packing.

This idiotic statement is reason enough to defund Homeland Security. Of course, the Republicans won't.

Except that it is a bad optic for Obama’s “Muslims aren’t the problem” narrative.

This is really going to hurt the business of the mall except for the muzzie restaurants.

But Americans do not live on hummus alone.

Maybe open carry at the mall might be the answer.

All of the agencies of the government that are supposed to be protecting the citizens of the USA are useless.

They prevent nothing, cyber crime has never been higher, our enemies are on the march worldwide, and all they care about is letting in more illegal aliens and how many queers they have on the payroll.

Some sick pictures on “DHS Pride”.

FEDGOV is a goddamn three ringed circus freak show.

And not a lot of hair.

Except Napolitano's moustache ...
