Tennessee Official Wants To Round Up Recent Syrian Refugees And Send Them Back To Syria



Tennessee State House GOP Caucus Chairman Glen Casada, R-Franklin

Up to 34 state governors, declare they will not provide assistance to "refugees," or migrants. They allege the state cannot distinguish between peaceful migrants and dangerous terrorists. Why is no one concerned about allowing people into the nation, and them running for office. Maybe becoming president and doing more harm than a hundred explosions and shootings? 

[From article]
A top Tennessee Republican lawmaker believes the time has come for the National Guard to round up any Syrian refugees who have recently settled in the state and to stop any additional Syrian refugees from entering Tennessee.
"We need to activate the Tennessee National Guard and stop them from coming in to the state by whatever means we can," said House GOP Caucus Chairman Glen Casada, R-Franklin, referencing refugees.
[. . .]
"Tennessee is a sovereign state. If the federal government is forsaking the obligation to protect our citizens, we need to act," Casada said during a phone interview with The Tennessean on Tuesday.
[. . .]
But Casada, Rep. Rick Womick, R-Rockvale, and at least a few other lawmakers believe it's time to call a special legislative session to look at doing something.
"I believe we should take a long look at the entire refugee program and use any means necessary to stop refugees from entering Tennessee if they come from countries with ties to ISIS, Al-Qaeda and similar terrorist groups," House Majority Whip Jeremy Durham, R-Franklin, said in a statement.
"If the U.S. Supreme Court says the federal government cannot force states to expand their Medicaid rolls, I'm not sure how the federal government believes it can legitimately force Tennessee to accept refugees from countries with known terrorists."

Cambridge, MA Gentleman, Charged With Rape of a Child, Arrested For Theft of National Guard Armory Weapons



James Walker Morales, 34, of Cambridge, MA

[From article]
A former Army reservist out on bail on a child rape charge broke into a Massachusetts armory last weekend and stole 16 guns, the FBI said Thursday, and he got caught because he was wearing a GPS monitoring bracelet.
James Walker Morales, 34, of Cambridge, was arrested Wednesday on Long Island, New York. He's scheduled to make an appearance in federal court on Friday in Brooklyn, according to the FBI.
Six M4 assault rifles and 10 Sig Sauer M11 handguns were stolen from the Lincoln Stoddard Army Reserve Center in Worcester last weekend. Surveillance video from a nearby business shows a man making several trips between the reserve center and a vehicle parked nearby over a six-hour period Saturday night into Sunday morning. On several occasions, he can be seen carrying duffel bags.
[. . .]
Morales gained access to the facility through a kitchen window, and then broke into the gun vault by climbing on top of it and using a cutting tool and pry bar to get through several layers of metal and wood, the FBI affidavit says.
The electronic monitoring bracelet placed Morales "directly inside" the facility, and blood left at the scene matched his DNA, the FBI said. He cut off the bracelet Monday but was tracked to New York through his cellphones, authorities said.
Morales had last been seen at the Worcester facility last Thursday to obtain copies of his discharge papers. Federal authorities described him as a former Army reservist but did not provide any additional information on his service and did not say whether the guns had been recovered.
In May, Morales was charged with aggravated rape of a child and indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14,

[From article]
But a relative of Wilson’s insisted that the cop isn’t racist and said he only “shot Michael Brown that day because he was in fear of his life.
“It was Michael Brown or him,” the relative told the Daily Mail. “He shot him, and he got to go home that day.”
“The grand jury made the right decision,” the source added. “[Wilson] would have shot [Brown] if he was white. He would have shot him if he was Mexican. He did not shoot Michael Brown because he was black.”

Missouri Governor Activates National Guard Preparing for Violence After Grand Jury Verdict




[From article]
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon signed an executive order activating the Missouri National Guard on Monday afternoon.
According to a news release, the role of the National Guard is to “…support law enforcement during any period of unrest that might occur following the grand jury’s decision concerning the investigation into the death of Michael Brown.”
“As part of our ongoing efforts to plan and be prepared for any contingency, it is necessary to have these resources in place in advance of any announcement of the grand jury’s decision,” Nixon said in the release.
[. . .]
Nixon’s order also established that the Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Louis County Police Department and St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will operate as a unified command to keep members of the public safe and protect property, while allowing citizens to exercise their constitutional rights.
Under the executive order, the St. Louis County Police Department will have command and operational control over security in the city of Ferguson in areas of protests and acts of civil disobedience, should such activities occur.
“All people in the St. Louis region deserve to feel safe in their communities and to make their voices heard without fear of violence or intimidation,” Nixon said in the release.

Patriots Travel To Texas To Prevent Terrorists and Disease From Entering USA




The Commander In Chief sent 3,000 US troops to Africa to fight the ebola virus. But he refuses to secure the southern border of the US where terrorists and the disease can be easily brought into the United States. The question of the bona fides of the current occupant of the White House is appropriate: is he really concerned for the national security of the nation? His policies have weakened the American economy, embarrassed allies and strengthened enemies. He engages American soldiers in wars he refuses to call wars, against terrorists he refuses to call terrorists. He is a walking talking propaganda machine. Some of these patriots traveling to the Texas border are acting according to the Declaration of Independence. 

[From article]
The border patrol says the growing number of militia members is an increasing concern for them. A new website called 'Patriots Information Hotline' says there are about 16 militias along the border in Texas and they are encouraging more to come.
Militias have flocked to the Rio Grande Valley to help secure the border and many plan to participate in the September 20th protest to shutdown ports of entry, but agents say militias complicate law enforcement efforts.
Right now, the National Guard, hundreds of state troopers and 3,600 border patrol agents are all patrolling the border in the valley and they say adding groups that are not connected could be dangerous
