SOME DAY WE WILL SEE THIS EXACT STORY WITH BARRY OBAMA AS THE MAIN CHARACTER. After Being Discovered Wasted and Naked in a Hotel Room With a Gay Male Escort and Bags of Crystal Meth, Andrew Gillum Says He Will Withdraw From Public Life… Posted on March 15, 2020 by sundance It was only a matter of time before the familiar “entering rehab” and “apologize to my family” excuse was trotted out by former Florida gubernatorial candidate and CNN contributor, Andrew Gillum. After being discovered naked in a hotel room with an overdosed gay male escort and three bags of crystal meth next to the bed, Andrew Gillum says he is withdrawing from public life to deal with “deeper struggles”. Go figure: TALLAHASSEE — Andrew Gillum said he would withdraw from public life, closing a chapter in his career that took him from the peak of Florida power to a Miami Beach hotel room where he was found inebriated with a man suspected of overdosing on crystal meth. “This has been a wake-up call for me,” the former Tallahassee mayor said in a written statement Sunday. “Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse. I witnessed my father suffer from alcoholism and I know the damaging effects it can have when untreated. I also know that alcoholism is often a symptom of deeper struggles.“ Continue reading ?

If Not for the FBI’s PC Willful Ignorance, at Least 70 People Wouldn’t Have Been Killed Mar 15, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 10 Comments My latest in PJ Media: As if participating in the failed deep state coup against President Trump weren’t enough, the FBI has covered itself in glory once again. A new report released Wednesday documents how the feds missed opportunities to stop at least six lethal terror attacks on American soil. The report focuses on failures of “oversight” and “procedure,” but itself becomes part of the problem, in failing to note that the Bureau’s troubles go much deeper. According to the Washington Times, those six attacks killed 70 people, and each of their perpetrators “had been on the FBI’s radar.” Nonetheless, “agents quickly closed the cases after concluding they were not national security threats, Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said in the report.” The attackers, according to the Times, included these jihad terrorists: Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who killed three people at the Boston Marathon in 2013. Nidal Hasan, who massacred 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. Esteban Santiago, who killed five people in a 2017 attack at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Santiago was a convert to Islam who said that he committed his murders in the service of the Islamic State (ISIS). Horowitz observed that “the FBI has acknowledged that various weaknesses related to its assessment process may have impacted its ability to fully investigate certain counterterrorism assessment subjects, who later committed terrorist acts in the United States.” Of course it did, because the FBI is still institutionally committed to ignoring, downplaying, or denying the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism. Failing to investigate suspected jihadis is all part of the same willful ignorance. The bureau doesn’t want to appear “Islamophobic” by scrutinizing these people too closely; such scrutiny would abet the impression that there is something about Islam that incites some believers to violence, and the feds have already ruled out that possibility. There is much more. Read the rest here.
