Do you see what I see? Both brothers look like they have Muslim ‘prayer bump’ impact on their heads, particularly Hipps on the left. Not been able to verify this yet, as there is no mention of it in media.

Meanwhile there’s a good officer, Robert Wilson, who protected the lives of store patrons, who will not be going home to his family.

This panel is charged with oversight of the United States’ most sensitive national intelligence capabilities and operations…. the Indiana congressman has an extensive record of involvement with, support of and support from a virtual Who’s Who of Brotherhood front organizations in America and leading figures in the jihad movement in this country.

ISIS supporters on Sunday called on jihadists around the world to kill Twitter employees because of the company’s frequent blocking of their social media accounts.

“Your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you,” reads an online post addressed to Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and shared by ISIS supporters.

The post, whose authorship is unclear, was accompanied by a digitally altered image of Dorsey in the cross sights of a gun.

Mark Arabo, national spokesman for “Ending Genocide in Iraq”:

They’re massacring every Christian they see and we face extinction, the oldest Christians in the world. Early today I spoke with White House officials and I told them if they keep not doing anything to protect Christians around the world, they’re sentencing my people to death. And, they’re not acting, so we have to put the pressure on… The American government and the White House are not doing enough… This is a Christian holocaust. …The absence of leadership in the White House is leading to more and more Christians to be persecuted and beheaded. Our churches are being bombed. Nobody’s acting. This is, as we keep saying, a full-blown Christian genocide and Washington isn’t doing anything. This is a Christian holocaust.

…neither the DHS, or mainstream media is informing the public of two critical facts.

Firstly, that the Mall of America is located near the largest concentration of Somali “refugees” in the United States, in Minneapolis-St. Paul. And that nearly all the “American” Muslims who have joined ISIS have been Somalis from the Minneapolis metro area.

But second, and far more disturbing, is that 300 terrorists from Al-Shabaab — the group behind this threat – have entered the U.S. over our Southern border and are unaccounted for. …

“Be particularly careful” if you intend to visit the Mall of America.

That’s the cautionary message Sunday from Jeh Johnson, the U.S. secretary of Homeland Security, in the wake of Somali terrorist group Al-Shabab releasing a video calling for attacks on Western malls. The video specifically mentioned the megamall in Bloomington.

Mall shoppers, be sure to bring your full battle rattle, just as a precaution.

If President Obama could hit the “reset button,” I think he’d rewind this week and try to get a mulligan – but then again, I could be totally wrong. If I am completely wrong, then our policy towards degrading, defeating, and destroying ISIS is non-existent.

In simple terms, America, we’re screwed.

Some 20 people, including senior officials, have been killed in an attack on a hotel in the Somali capital, witnesses have told the BBC.

The Central Hotel, often frequented by politicians, was hit by a car bomb and a suicide attack. Gunmen then stormed the hotel mosque and opened fire during Friday prayers.

An MP and Mogadishu’s deputy mayor were among the dead, the government says.

Islamist militant group al-Shabab has said it was behind the attack.
