Trump visits mass school shooting survivors while FBI admits mishandling tips about shooter
[DAWN] United States (US) President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
on Friday visited a Florida hospital to offer comfort to those that were maimed in a mass school shooting after the FBI admitted it mishandled a tip about the troubled teen behind the massacre that left 17 dead.

The arrival of Trump and his wife Melania came at the end of a difficult day for the families of those killed in Wednesday's rampage at a high school in Parkland, Florida, who learned that the carnage could perhaps have been averted.

The FBI, the top US law enforcement agency, admitted it had received a chilling warning in January from a tipster who said the 19-year-old gunman, Nikolas Cruz, could be planning a mass shooting, but that agents had failed to follow up.

#1  The Director Wray needs to go. He worked for Comey and secondly the two a-political agents who did not want Trump elected and were on the Mueller team are still with the bureau.

This needs to be the catalyst to flush these people and start over.

In the mean time a tribute for the kids, their teachers and especially their grieving families and friends:

#2  I see they've hauled Cruz' brother in for a mental health eval. Nobody's going to keep these grim-faced super cops from demonstrating they're absolute tops at late barn door closing.
Five to one there's nothing wrong with the kid, but we have to show we're doing SOMETHING.
Maybe Mueller can blame him on Trump or something.

#3  Based on average statistics commonly available, 180 Americans died on Valentine's Day from drug overdoses, nearly all of which were either obtained or used illegally. Some of the drugs were even delivered to dealers by the US Postal Service in uninspected parcels from China. Do not think about this.

Mueller Worked with Lerner to Target Tea Party
[AMERICANTHINKER] Just when you thought the Deep State swamp couldn't get any murkier and the stench any more repugnant, we are reminded by Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton in a Feb. 13 tweet of how Robert Mueller's FBI worked with Lois Lerner's IRS to target Tea Party and other groups in the run-up to the Obama re-election campaign:
@JudicialWatch lawsuit uncovered how Mueller's FBI worked with Lois Lerner's IRS to try to prosecute the very groups Obama IRS was suppressing. Another reason I don't trust Mr. Mueller – or the FBI!
The treasure trove of documents detailing the weaponizing of powerful government agencies, including Mueller's FBI, by the Obama administration to target the Tea Party was obtained by Judicial Watch as a result of court orders stemming from Freedom of Information Act lawsuits after the political targeting of the Tea Party:

#1  Easy pickens. Evidently no FISA warrant was needed here.

And that is exactly one of the reasons, the FBI is having credibility problems today. When lying with dogs, fleas are likely to be a problem.

Maxine Waters Attended Nation Of Islam Convention Where Farrakhan Defended Suicide Bombers
[Daily Caller] Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters attended a Nation of Islam convention where the hate group's leader, Louis Farrakhan, defended Palestinian suicide bombers. The convention, which took place in California in 2002, is just the latest tie to emerge between Democrats and the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist group known for being viciously anti-Semitic.

"We have Maxine Waters here," Farrakhan told the convention audience, gesturing to the seats behind him, "our great congresswoman from this area." The audience cheered Waters' name.

Later in his speech, Farrakhan excused Palestinian suicide bombers and defended Iran for arming Palestinian terrorists.

Farrakhan criticized the United States for providing Israel with planes and other weapons, which he indicated was to blame for Palestinian suicide bombers.

"The Palestinians have nothing to defend themselves with, so they're so exhausted and exasperated, think about that, strapping bombs to themselves, making themselves a weapon," Farrakhan said

#1  So in addition to boom jackets we will soon have to watch out for exploding wigs too?

#2  I've never expected much from Waters and I've never been disappointed.
