How dare you tell the truth! We will kill you if you call our hero violent!

Via Fox News:

Philadelphia high school senior Michael Moroz knew he was courting controversy when he wrote about race in the school newspaper, but he never expected death threats from classmates and strangers.

Just before Christmas break, the 17-year-old wrote an opinion piece for the Central High school paper, the Centralizer. In it, he criticized the racially charged University of Missouri protests and opined that Michael Brown, the black teenager killed in 2014 by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., was “a delinquent” who was “at worst, justifiably killed, and at best, [was] a thug.”

The story hit the paper’s Facebook page while school was out, and that’s when the threats poured in. Moroz is now afraid to return to school and worried he could lose his place next fall at an Ivy League university.

“I feel as if I am a pariah in the community,” Moroz told FoxNews.com. “People I see on a daily basis have threatened my life. I don’t know how I am going to deal with it.”

Note to Hillary Clinton: Maine is 95% white.

ViaPolitico:

Paul LePage, the volatile Republican governor of Maine, set off a cascade of condemnation on Thursday when he claimed that drug dealers were flooding the state with heroin, impregnating “white girls” and then leaving.

At a town hall event on Wednesday, LePage was asked about measures he is taking to minimize Maine’s drug problem. He then laid out new legislation targeted at traffickers, whom he described in racially charged terms.

“These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty — these types of guys. They come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home,” he added, according to the Portland Press Herald.

“Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we’ve go to deal with down the road,” he added.

Peter Steele, a spokesperson for he governor’s office, said in a statement that LePage’s comments were not racial in nature.

“The governor is not making comments about race,” Steele said. “Race is irrelevant. What is relevant is the cost to state taxpayers for welfare and the emotional costs for these kids who are born as a result of involvement with drug traffickers. His heart goes out to these kids because he had a difficult childhood too. We need to stop the drug traffickers from coming into our state.”

A representative of Hillary Clinton’s campaign condemned the comments as “racist rants.”

“Governor LePage’s comments tonight are not only offensive and hurtful but they try to cover up the very real epidemic of drug abuse facing people in his state and across the country,” said Marlon Marshall, who oversees states and political engagement for Clinton.

FOX NEWS ALERT: Suspect 'tried to execute' Philadelphia police officer in West Philadelphia ambush https://t.co/YhpLr3Ryi3

Mayor’s response? We need more gun control. Unbelievable. No, you need criminal control.

PHILADELPHIA –– Police here say an officer was shot three times in the arm by a man who ambushed him as he sat in his marked police cruiser late Thursday night.

Police Commissioner Richard Ross — who was sworn in Tuesday — called the shooting an attempted execution.

Ross says Officer Jesse Hartnett returned fire, hitting the suspect at least three times.

Police say the suspect fired 13 shots at point blank range that hit Hartnett and his car in an intersection.

Both were taken to area hospitals.

Update:

We’ll have to see what the facts are, but troubling report:

Via CBS:

Sources tell Eyewitness News the suspect has given a full confession, saying he did it in the name of Islam.

“When you look at the video, this is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” Commissioner Ross said. “This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming. It’s amazing he’s alive.”

Hartnett was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he underwent surgery for a broken arm. Ross says the officer’s arm suffered significant damage and that he has a long road to recovery, but he is expected to be okay:

“Fortunately he’s awake, he’s coherent.”

Hartnett returned fire and struck the 30-year-old suspect at least three times. The suspect tried to escape on foot, authorities say, but was quickly caught and taken to the hospital.

There’s no word on his name or condition at this time.

Update:

Sounds like Islamic dress.

Men involved in the wave of New Year’s Eve sexual assaults in Cologne, Germany claimed to be Syrian refugees who aggressively defied police, according to a newly-leaked police report.

The police report, dated Jan. 4 and published in Der Spiegel Thursday, details a chaotic situation far more violent than police initially admitted. Overwhelmed police officers tried to intervene to protect women who ran through a “gauntlet” of men who groped, attacked and robbed them. Violence was so severe, police initially feared there would be fatalities.

Students at Marshwood High School in South Berwick in Maine received an email from the Clinton campaign – urging them to sign up for positions as unpaid “fellows”.

“Hillary for New Hampshire is looking for smart, energetic winter fellows who are committed to winning the New Hampshire primary for Hillary Clinton,” read the email from a campaign staffer. “Everyone working on the campaign now started off as a fellow at some point so it is a great way of getting a different skill set whilst helping an important cause.”

The Principal sent this to one concerned family who complained:

“We often receive information from outside sources regarding opportunities for students to get involved in their communities,” he wrote. “We pass on this information to provide students with ways they may meet the requirement to perform 50 hours of community service to graduate.”

“If other ‘campaigns’ were to seek volunteers, we would pass that on also,” he noted.

Sure he would. In any case, no campaigns should be allowed to do this.

One unhappy parent told Fox News, “If you want to campaign for someone – that’s fine – but that’s between the child and the parents,” she said. ‘That’s not for the campaign to target you at school and it’s not for the school to suggest to you. That’s between you and your parents.”

How’s that bring in the refugees thing working?

Via Chron:

A man identified as an Iraqi refugee has been arrested in Houston as part of a federal investigation into connections with the Islamic State terrorist organization, officials confirmed Thursday.

In a statement late Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice said Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24, a Palestinian born in Iraq, has been charged with attempting to “provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a designated foreign terrorist organization.”

The indictment, unsealed Thursday, also alleges that Al Hardan, an Iraqi refugee who lives in Houston and was granted permanent resident status in 2011, unlawfully attempted to become a U.S. citizen and lied to authorities about his connections to a “terrorist organization.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento resident was arrested today on a federal charge of making a false statement involving international terrorism. Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, is charged in a criminal complaint that was unsealed today in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California following his arrest.

“Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab allegedly traveled overseas to fight alongside terrorist organizations and lied to U.S. authorities about his activities,” said Assistant Attorney General Carlin. “The National Security Division’s highest priority is protecting the nation from terrorism, and we will continue to hold accountable those who seek to join or aid the cause of terrorism, whether at home or abroad.”

Child asks Ted Cruz if he would deport her.

She’s got the prison orange all ready…

Via Daily Caller:

A former U.S. Attorney predicts a Watergate-style showdown in the Department of Justice if Attorney General Loretta Lynch overrules a potential FBI recommendation to indict Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“The [FBI] has so much information about criminal conduct by her and her staff that there is no way that they walk away from this,” Joseph diGenova, formerly the District of Columbia’s U.S. Attorney, told Laura Ingraham in a Tuesday radio interview. “They are going to make a recommendation that people be charged and then Loretta Lynch is going to have the decision of a lifetime.

“I believe that the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that, unless [Lynch] agrees to the charges, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive as an attorney general. It will be like Watergate. It will be unbelievable.”

Can you pick out which one is Bergdahl?

Via NY Post:

One of Bowe Bergdahl’s most prized possessions during his five-year captivity with the Taliban — was a dress.

“When they moved me around, they’d put a girl’s dress over me and then a burka over me and then because anything I touched because I’m an infidel – everything I touch is dirty,” Bergdahl explained on the fourth episode of the popular podcast “Serial” Thursday.

“So thankfully they left the dress and the burka in the room so I was able to use that as warmth.”

The episode, called “The Captors,” dove into the background of the Hakkani terror group based in Pakistan that held Bergdahl, who is accused of deserting his army post back in 2009.
