Terror Suspect Captured in Massachusetts

Tarek Mehanna, a 27-year old man residing in Sudbury, Massachusetts, was arrested on federal terrorism charges this morning.  Mehanna was allegedly planning terror attacks on politicians and a shopping mall.  Much like the arrest of Najubullah Zazi and associates, Mehanna never got close to carrying out said attacks; federal investigators were on him from the beginning:

A Sudbury, Mass., man was arrested Wednesday on federal terrorism-related charges and accused of planning attacks inside and outside the United States, including an attack that targeted a shopping mall, WCVB-TV in Boston reported.

Tarek Mehanna, 27, was taken into custody at his Sudbury home, according to acting U.S. Attorney General Michael K. Loucks.

Beginning in 2001 and continuing through 2008, Mehanna conspired with Ahmad Abousamra and others to provide material support and resources to terrorists to “kill, kidnap, maim or injure” people, including prominent U.S. politicians, according to a criminal complaint.

Loucks said that Mehanna was involved with co-conspirators in a plan that targeted two members of the executive branch and a planned attack on a U.S. shopping mall.

“The killing of citizens was considered OK by the conspirators because citizens are taxpayers,” Loucks said.

 

Officials said Mehanna and the co-conspirators had multiple conversations about a mall attack, including discussions about coordination, weapons needed and the possibility of attacking emergency responders. A Sudbury, Mass., man was arrested Wednesday on federal terrorism-related charges and accused of planning attacks inside and outside the United States, including an attack that targeted a shopping mall, WCVB-TV in Boston reported.

Douchebag Arrested for DWI Three Times in Three Weeks

Some people never learn, and Reno, Nevada resident John Parker is one of them:

Reno Police Sgt. Tom Robinson says John Parker was stopped Monday afternoon on a U.S. Highway 395 off-ramp on the south end of town after a concerned citizen alerted police about his erratic driving.

He says a check of Parker’s police record found he had been arrested on the same charge two other times since Oct. 2.

Robinson says officers contacted the city attorney, who contacted a Reno municipal court judge so Parker’s bail would be raised to $25,000. The judge also ordered that it be paid in cash rather than the usual practice of posting a bond for 10 percent of the total pending a court hearing.

A 50-year-old Reno man has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving for the third time in less than three weeks.

Mindless Democrat Automatons Summoned To Steer Clear of Fox

Who is winning in the Obama vs. Fox fight? Well, Fox, obviously… and this has prompted the likes of MoveOn.org to summon all mindless rank-and-file Democrat robots to steer clear of said news organization. 

According to an email sent from MoveOn to its membership, “To draw attention to its biased coverage, President Obama will not appear on FOX for the rest of this year. . . It’s about time Democrats stood up to Fox! Can you sign this petition asking Democrats to support President Obama’s stance by staying off FOX as long as he does?”

Michelle Malkin posted a copy of the email message that MoveOn is sending to members:

Dear MoveOn member,

All year, FOX has worked 24/7 to block President Obama’s agenda—repeating lies about “death panels,” promoting Tea Party protests, and whipping up fake political scandals.1

Now, President Obama is fighting back. The White House communications director said FOX is a “wing of the Republican Party…let’s not pretend they’re a news network.”2 To draw attention to its biased coverage, President Obama will not appear on FOX for the rest of this year.3

It’s about time Democrats stood up to FOX! Can you sign this petition asking Democrats to support President Obama’s stance by staying off FOX as long as he does? We’ll deliver it to Sen. Lautenberg and Sen. Menendez. Clicking here will add your name:

The petition says: “Democrats should support President Obama’s effort to call out FOX. Please stay off FOX for as long as he does.”

Democrats often appear on FOX in hopes of reaching out to conservative viewers. But FOX cuts off their mic, distorts what they say, or runs biased headlines at the bottom of the screen.4 In the end, Democrats always lose on FOX.

FOX insists there’s a difference between its news shows and its right-wing opinion shows with Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and others.

But in August, FOX’s so-called news shows “aired 22 clips of town hall meeting attendees opposed” to Obama’s health care plans and zero in support. CNN and MSNBC were more fair and balanced.5

In another “news” story, FOX passed off a GOP press release as its own research—typo and all.6

FOX executives now describe the channel as “the voice of opposition” to Obama’s agenda. FOX president Roger Ailes—a former adviser to Nixon, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush—said, “I see this as the Alamo.”7

But a Capitol Hill newspaper reports, “In the House and Senate, Democrats who pledged to follow the administration’s near-boycott of Fox were hard to find, although many expressed support for Obama’s stance.”8

Democrats will only find the courage to join Obama if they hear from enough concerned voters. Sign this petition to ask Sen. Lautenberg and Sen. Menendez to stay off FOX. Clicking here will add your name:

Douchebag In Decline

We all saw it coming, but did we see it coming this quickly? 50 percent of the country now disagrees with the Obama Administration on political issues. And guess what, kids? CNN agrees.

For the first time since he took over in the White House, Americans don’t see eye to eye with President Barack Obama on the important issues, according to a new national poll. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey does indicate that a majority approve of how Obama’s handling his duties as president.

According to the poll, which was released Tuesday, 48 percent of people questioned say that they agree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them, with 51 percent saying no. That’s a switch from April, when 57 percent said they agreed with the president on important issues, with 41 percent disagreeing.

While this may be considered great news, there is still one rather unsettling aspect: half of the country continues to agree with the song-and-dance put forth by this administration. Half of the country agrees with the bloated bailout packages. Half of the country agrees with socialization of health care. Half of the country refuses to acknowledge that Obama has not really accomplished much of anything. The reality is that this disapproval number should be much, much higher.

It’s no wonder that the administration continues a full-frontal assault on conservative television and radio news outlets. It’s not surprising that Obama is pushing hard for the Net Neutrality act, which will serve as a controlling mechanism for Internet based news sources. The administration wishes simply to keep the majority of Americans uninformed, and in the dark about so that we can gleefully skip towards socialism.

A Wallet Full of Game

Rickey A. Kempter, a 50-year-old douchebag hailing from Cheyenne, Wyoming was picked up by authorities after printing phony $50 bills he intended to give to an exotic dancer. According to authorities:

Federal prosecutors say Kempter hired a[sic] the exotic dancer for a private dance at the Lariat Motel, and Kempter and the dancer shared a taxi to the location. The taxi driver called police after they arrived, saying Kempter asked him to hold a roll of $50 bills and he noticed that they looked odd and were not cut evenly.

According to court documents, Kempter told investigators that he made the bills on a printer in his home, but said he planned to go home and get real money to pay the dancer.

If convicted, Kempter faces up to 20 years in prison.
