A former Department of Homeland Security agent says that an investigation he was conducting into a fundamentalist Islamic group operating in the U.S. may have helped stop San Bernardino jihadi Syed Farook had the government not shut down his probe. During an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly on Thursday, Philip Haney said that in 2012 as an agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Center, he opened an investigation into a Sunni Islamic group called, Tablighi Jamaat, a subset of the fundamentalist Deobandi movement. But Haney said that just a year into the investigation it was shut...

Americans are more fearful about the likelihood of another terrorist attack than at any other time since the weeks after Sept. 11, 2001, a gnawing sense of dread that has helped lift Donald J. Trump to a new high among Republican primary voters, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. From Our Advertisers In the aftermath of attacks by Islamic extremists in Paris and in San Bernardino, Calif., a plurality of the public views the threat of terrorism as the top issue facing the country. A month ago, only 4 percent of Americans said terrorism was the most...

As the plot thickens in the San Bernardino massacre, the FBI is trying to decipher several issues from abuse of the marriage and immigration system and whether these terrorists had Jihadi brides. Also who are these Russian girls involved in the marriage scheme. Also the FBI believes Farook had ties to a group of jihadists in California who were arrested in 2012 (which caused a previous attack to be thwarted that Farook was planning) for attempted to travel to Afghanistan to join al Qaeda. Then we have the possible main ringleader, second man, Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan (aka Miski, Malik John,...

In the aftermath of the attacks carried out by radical Islamic extremists that killed and wounded hundreds in the streets of Paris, President Obama stood before the world to issue America's response. Instead of taking a hardline stand against violent acts of terrorism, the President appeared timid as he announced that the upcoming summit on climate change would be a strong "rebuke" to international terrorism. This statement, combined with his approach towards combating ISIS, show that President Obama holds misplaced priorities about the threats facing our country. Then came the San Bernardino attack where 14 people were killed and 21...

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, tells Breitbart News Daily about House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)'s and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)'s plans to force Americans to pay for President Obama’s Syrian refugee resettlement program. "It's going to be jammed through," Sessions told host and Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon on Thursday morning on the show, which airs on SiriusXM the Patriot Channel 125. "Members of the Senate are very frustrated. We have no idea what the contested issues are [in a forthcoming...

Go, Trump, GO!! Trounce the Marxist/fascist treasonous open borders establishment who are hellbent on destroying our Judeo-Christian society! Securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

A Senate committee on Thursday approved a resolution that critics described as an "unprecedented" move granting immigrants easier access to the United States. The amendment, offered by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) and first reported on by the Washington Free Beacon, affirms the Senate's belief "that the United States must not bar individuals from entering into the United States based on their religion, as such action would be contrary to the fundamental principles on which this Nation was founded." The language was offered in response to recent comments from a presidential candidate who called on Muslims to be barred from...

The White House said Thursday it won't seek an immediate suspension of the "fiancee" visa program under which the female terrorist who massacred 14 people in California last week entered the U.S. "This is something that is under careful review" by the administration, said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. He added that, if the review by the State Department and Department of Homeland Security recommends changes to the K-1 visa program, President Obama "won't hesitate to order those reforms." But he said there are no plans to order a halt to the program temporarily while the review is ongoing.

Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump said Thursday that it was "disgusting" for the White House's top spokesman to go after his hair while the US is facing such serious issues. "Isn't that disgusting for a presidential representative to make that comment?" Trump said during an interview on "Fox & Friends." "I assume he was joking," the Republican presidential front-runner added. Earlier this week, White House press secretary Josh Earnest blasted Trump for proposing to bar virtually all Muslims from entering the US until the "hatred" in the religion is figured out. Earnest said Trump had disqualified himself from the presidency --...

The Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said Monday that the U.S. intelligence community has found evidence that Islamic State fighters in Syria have attempted to infiltrate the Syrian refugee resettlement program to gain entrance into the United States. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, spoke at National Defense University in Washington D.C. on Monday about the "state of Homeland Security" and argued that homeland security in the United States is at its "highest threat environment since 9/11."

DONALD TRUMP should be DISQUALIFIED from becoming the next President of America over his controversial policy proposal to BAN all Muslims from entering the country, the White House said tonight. In a scathing attack a spokesman for Barack Obama branded the outlandish Republican a "carnival barker" and said the remarks should see him disqualified from the race to become the nation's next leader. A visibly angry Josh Earnest told reporters assembled at the White House that Mr Trump's plan was "entirely inconsistent with the values enshrined in our Constitution" and said any Republicans who failed to condemn him should stand...

The full scale of Islamic State's influence can today be laid bare as it's revealed dozens of terror groups worldwide have pledged their allegiance to the barbaric extremists. From militia lurking in the jungles of the Philippines to sleeper cells training in the deserts of Libya, a vast array of groups are now claiming to be operating alongside the jihadis' notorious black and white banner. It is clear the groups have little in common except their desire to establish their own kingdoms governed by a traditional interpretation of Sharia law. But they are united by one other common principle -...

After Gun Boss Armory opened for business Monday morning in a Redlands strip mall, Matt Nicholson was among those who walked through the door. "I've never owned a gun before," Nicholson told an employee behind the counter, who handed him a silver Beretta handgun from a display case. Nicholson, a 23-year-old Redlands resident, said he had thought about buying a firearm in the past. But the attack that claimed 14 lives at a San Bernardino social services center on Wednesday — about five miles away from Gun Boss Armory — made up his mind.

UNITED NATIONS – The Obama administration’s immigration policy should come into clearer focus when world leaders gather at the United Nations later this month for the General Assembly U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon will convene a special meeting on the refugee crisis, and the outcome will provide a roadmap for U.S. policy. The Obama administration has been adopting U.N. guidance on immigration, such as the U.N.’s recommendation to “move away from the detention of all migrants… particularly unaccompanied minors, and families with children. Aim to eradicate the detention of children completely … Age verification is not a justification for detention.”...

News Flash for Barack Obama: Americans are not afraid of terrorism. We're afraid of you. Your chronic diffidence, dismissal and downplaying terrorism -- especially from radical jihadi extremists, in both word and deed -- is scaring the hell out of your countrymen. Get over it! It's not cool. Nor is it presidentially-composed to disregard the palpable fear that permeates America today. Even if we're all so ignorant, naive and unworldly as to elect you twice. Leading from behind does not work as United States commander-in-chief. Sunday night was only Obama's third Oval Office address. (Scroll down for the C-SPAN video.)...

LAURA INGRAHAM: There are a couple of different things going on in the hysterical response to what he said, people are missing. We found out in San Bernardino that authorities missed a lot of obvious signs, terror red flags, they missed the fact that Malik did not have a legitimate address on her documents to come into the country, they missed the fact she had family ties to radical Islam, apparently there were lots of guns and ammo being delivered to this one house, but a neighbor wa too scared to speak out for political correctness concerns, it went unreported......

You can watch the full 14 minute speech here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2RJhdQzd68 At ~5:35 "Fourth, with American leadership, the international community has begun to establish a process — and timeline — to pursue ceasefires and a political resolution to the Syrian war. Doing so will allow the Syrian people and every country, including our allies, but also countries like Russia, to focus on the common goal of destroying ISIL — a group that threatens us all." Ceasefires and a political resolution? WTF? This is what 0bama said and I have yet to hear anyone ask the White House about this.

Uwe and Hannelore Romeike came to the United States in 2008 seeking political asylum. They fled their German homeland in the face of religious persecution for homeschooling their children. They wanted to live in a country where they could raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs. The Romeikes were initially given asylum, but the Obama administration objected – claiming that German laws that outlaw homeschooling do not constitute persecution.

As the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was unfolding, a high-ranking Pentagon official urgently messaged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top deputies to offer military help, according to an email obtained by Judicial Watch. The revelation appears to contradict testimony Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gave lawmakers in 2013, when he said there was no time to get forces to the scene in Libya, where four Americans were killed, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. “I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S [apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton],” reads...

Colin CampbellDecember 8, 2015 President Barack Obama's top spokesman (Josh Earnest) said Tuesday that real-estate mogul Donald Trump had disqualified himself from the Oval Office with his "deeply offensive" proposal to suspend all Muslims from entering the US. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tore into Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, when he was asked about the proposal during his daily media briefing. "The Trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin-of-history-like quality to it, from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair. The whole carnival-barker routine that we've seen for some time now,"...
