Texas Sheriff Sends EPIC Memo To Department Amid Reports Broward County Deputy Refused To Engage Parkland Gunman

Texas Sheriff Sends EPIC Memo To Department Amid Reports Broward County Deputy Refused To Engage Parkland Gunman

Amid reports that Broward County deputy Scot Peterson refused to engage Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree sent a memo to his deputies, reminding them to take “immediate action in an active shooter situation.”

“We do not stage and wait for SWAT, we do not take cover in a parking lot, and we do not wait for another agency. We go in and do our duty. We go in to engage and stop the shooter and save lives,” Murphree wrote.

“All commissioned Deputies if you respond to an active shooter, you are expected to take immediate action,” Murphree added.

In a message on Twitter, Murphee said, “Just in case you were wondering. There is NO DOUBT where we stand. Denton County Sheriff’s Office, BUILT ON INTEGRITY!”

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is currently investigating why Scot Peterson, the former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, failed to act as gunman Nikolas Cruz shot dead 17 people in Parkland, Florida.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, CNN says three Broward County Sheriff’s Deputies waited outside the school during the shooting.

CNN reported:

When Coral Springs police officers arrived at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14 in the midst of the school shooting crisis, many officers were surprised to find not only that Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson, the armed school resource officer, had not entered the building, but that three other Broward County Sheriff’s deputies were also outside the school and had not entered, Coral Springs sources tell CNN. The deputies had their pistols drawn and were behind their vehicles, the sources said, and not one of them had gone into the school.

Last Friday, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School senior Brandon Huff told WSVN that Broward Sheriff resource officer, Scot Peterson, hid behind a staircase while pointing his gun at “nothing” as gunman Nikolas Cruz shot dead 17 people.

State Dept: We’ve Had Concerns for ‘Quite Some Time’ North Korea Might Sell Chemical Weapons to Syria

The U.S. State Department indicated on Tuesday it has been an ongoing concern that North Korea could sell chemical weapons to the Assad regime in Syria as it seeks to develop its nuclear and ballistic missile weapons program.

A reporter asked spokeswoman Heather Nauert about media reports that first came out on Tuesday concerning a forthcoming report from United Nations experts that indicates the North Korean regime has been shipping supplies to Syria.

Nauert told reporters the United States has been concerned the regime may be driven to such measures because of the country’s desperate economic conditions.

"This is something that the United States has had concerns about for quite some time, that North Korea–especially as North Korea becomes more desperate–that they look for different, creative, and horrific ways to try to make money to fund their criminal regime," she said.

Nauert said if the regime is selling chemical weapons materials to Syria, it demonstrates why the United States will not engage in talks with North Korea until the hermit state agrees to rid itself of its nuclear weapons.

"If they are selling goods, material, whatever you want to call it, to Syria, it shows the depravity of that regime, and that is exactly why we stand so firmly behind our policy of denuclearization," Nauert said.

Bashar al-Assad’s forces in Syria, supported by Russia, have used chemical weapons on civilians in multiple parts of the country during its ongoing civil war. Earlier this month, Nauert called out the Russian government for enabling Assad and indicated Assad’s forces had used some form of chemical weapons on the Syrian people "six times in the last 30 days."

UH-OH: Broward County State Attorney Has Sheriff Israel In Crosshairs As New Details of Misconduct Emerge

UH-OH: Broward County State Attorney Has Sheriff Israel In Crosshairs As New Details of Misconduct Emerge

Fox News contributor Sara A. Carter reports the Broward County State Attorney’s office is currently investigating more than 66 cases of misconduct under embattled Sheriff Scott Israel. 

Carter reports:

There are more than 66 investigations by the Broward County State Attorney’s office into Broward County Sheriff’s deputies and employees, ranging from drug trafficking to kidnapping since 2012. All the internal investigations occurred under embattled Sheriff Scott Israel’s watch, whose office is now under investigation for allegations that his deputies failed to allow first responders from treating patients at the scene of Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on Feb. 14, and that multiple deputies failed to enter the school to defend the children during the rampage that left 17 people dead, this reporter has learned.

According to lawyer David Schoen:

“Approximately 66 BSO (Broward Sheriff’s Office) deputies and other employees, including supervisory personnel were arrested for, charged with, and/or convicted of crimes that run the gamut from Armed Kidnapping, to Battery, Assault, Falsifying records, Official Misconduct, Narcotics trafficking, and other crimes involving dishonesty and violence in the years immediately proceeding 2013 when Jermaine was killed. Most of the offenses on the list occurred in the years 2012-2013,” according to court records filed by Schoen against Israel and the Broward County Sheriff deputy defendants.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Israel was accused in 2016 of using ‘amorous’ women to illegally entrap African-American men.

In a deposition, Israel even admitted the VIPER unit (Violent Intervention Proactive Enforcement Response), which ‘entrapped’ Hilaire, “basically entrapped people via a ‘hotel method,’” says reporter Alex Rubinstein.

Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran and “nearly every Republican House member” is demanding Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) suspend Israel.

In the meantime, Gov. Scott has ordered the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to probe local police’s response to the shooting.

Israel is currently investigating why Scot Peterson, the former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, failed to act as gunman Nikolas Cruz shot dead 17 people in Parkland, Florida.

Oops! 100,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania

J. Christian Adams, a former federal prosecutor, through his work with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, is leading an effort to expose the extent of aliens voting in federal elections.  For unexplained reasons, the officials are stonewalling release of official data.  It appears that they have evidence already that should alarm everyone concerned with election integrity.  This had far more influence than any Russian ads on Facebook.



(So do the votes of 100,000 aliens in Pennsylvania.)


February 26, 2018: The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed a lawsuit today against the Pennsylvania Department of State for failing to disclose a reported 100,000 noncitizen registered voter records under federal law (PILF v. Torres et. al. 1:18-cv-00463).



In summary, the Pennsylvania Department of State (DOS) refused the PILF‘s rights to inspect or be furnished documents related to noncitizen registered voters either reporting their own unlawful activities or discovered thanks to a joint study with the Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The latter effort has reportedly revealed 100,000 cases of noncitizens currently registered to vote in the Commonwealth. The DOS’ actions constitute an apparent violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.


A core concern for the lawsuit stems from a report by City of Philadelphia Commissioner Al Schmidt to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 2017, which detailed how a DOS/PennDOT study of noncitizen driver’s license holders matched records belonging to roughly 100,000 current voters in the statewide registration database.


The DOS/PennDOT study was triggered in September 2017 after Pennsylvania officials admitted to a “glitch” that offered voter registration opportunities to all PennDOT customers regardless of citizenship status since the 1990s. Prior to the study, election officials only took actions to remove ineligible noncitizens from the rolls after they self-reported their statuses. A full accounting of how many registered and voted remains unclear due to the DOS’ intentionally limited transparency.


“For months, Pennsylvania bureaucrats have concealed facts about noncitizens registering and voting—that ends today,” PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said. “Before this lawsuit, the State admitted to a ‘glitch’ that exposed thousands of driver’s license customers to voter registration offers despite their noncitizen status since the 1990s. The Secretary of State abruptly resigned. DOS officials blocked federal public inspection rights. The PILF hopes to finally get answers about the true scale of noncitizen voting in Pennsylvania and assist lawmakers in crafting reforms that fix it.”


Beginning in October 2017, the PILF began a formal dialogue with the DOS to inspect records related to noncitizen voter registrants. Requests were rejected twice, despite making them pursuant to Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). The NVRA allows unfettered physical inspection rights to all records related to voter list maintenance. In December 2017, the PILF notified the DOS of its apparent violation of the NVRA. The lawsuit filed today seeks to compel inspection of the aforementioned records.

Developing: Broward County Sheriff Ordered Deputies Not to Arrest

Just when it seemed like the government incompetence surrounding the events leading up to the the Parkland, Florida high school massacre couldn’t get any worse, new information reveals that political motivations and bad policy in the leadership at the sheriff’s office had a pivotal role in failing to prevent the shooting.

First, it was the FBI. A tip that outlined the shooter’s “gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting,” was given to the FBI only six weeks before the deadly massacre occurred, NBC reported. The FBI failed to follow up.

Then, it was local law enforcement. Multiple agents within the Broward County Sheriff’s department cowered in the face of danger, and waited outside the Stoneman Douglas high school as innocent students were killed inside.

And there’s more: According to CNN, “Records obtained from the sheriff’s office by CNN show the law enforcement agency received at least 45 calls for service relating to Cruz or his brother from 2008 to 2017, before the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14.”

So was it pure incompetence, or was something more sinister at play?

Conservative Tribune Daily Email

Thanks For Subscribing!

It may have been both.

According to report from RedState, a deeply embedded system of public corruption at the sheriff’s department may be to blame for the murderous shooter slipping right through the sheriff department’s fingers.

As reported by CNN, dozens of calls were made to local law enforcement about Nickolas Cruz with descriptions such as “mentally ill person,” “child/elderly abuse,” “domestic disturbance,” “missing person,” and more. Most of those warning calls resulted in “no written report.”

What in the world would have motivated an “oversight” like that?

Should Sheriff Israel be removed from office?

According to RedState, it all comes back to Sheriff Israel.

First elected as sheriff in 2012, Israel’s run for re-election in 2016 was highly criticized and controversial, according to an August 2016 report from Sun Sentinel.

“Sheriff Scott Israel has hired from the ranks of his political supporters, building a community outreach wing his critics say doubles as a re-election team,” the Sentinel explained. “Israel’s opponents say he’s built a publicly funded political machine, paying back supporters with jobs and using them to keep him in office. They say the money could be better spent, particularly after the sheriff complained about not having enough funding to secure the county courthouse, where a murder suspect recently escaped.”

In other words, Israel rewarded his political supporters with high-paying cushy jobs within the sheriff’s office. The outreach manager position, for example, earned a $78,489 salary. That position was held by the husband of Israel’s campaign manager, the Sentinel reported.

RELATED: Trump Doubles Down on Sheriff’s Cowardice: “I’d Run in There Even If I Didn’t Have a Weapon”

So, a group of unqualified people filled the positions at the sheriff’s office. And we wonder why they failed to stop Nickolas Cruz?

It gets worse. An ominous foreshadowing of the deadly shooting was revealed in the form of a 2016 sheriff re-election campaign questionnaire.

“Why are you running and what gives you an edge over your opponents?” the questionnaire asked Israel.

See Israel’s answer below:

I am the incumbent Sheriff for the past four years, and a career law enforcement officer with over three decades in the profession.  The results speak for themselves. As our sheriff, I successfully implemented new policies and approaches to public safety that sharply reduced violent crime and burglary rates – the sharpest declines in the entire State of Florida. My innovative initiatives also helped keep children in school and out of jail, greatly expanding the juvenile civil citation program and making issuance of civil citations mandatory for BSO deputies. I worked to combat gun violence by openly lobbying legislators to curtail Stand Your Ground, block open carry legislation, and block legislation allowing concealed guns on school campuses.

(Emphasis added.)

You read that right. Policies put into place within the sheriff’s department by Israel Scott discouraged arresting or expelling juveniles, apparently even if their behavior was violent or threatening.

Cruz had a history of violence at school and was never officially expelled. He had a history of violent behavior at home but was never arrested.

And one day, he stormed into a school building and murdered 17 innocent people — but it was too late.

When pressed for answers on allegations about his alleged public corruption, Israel deflected. “Lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep,” he reportedly said at the time.

And lions apparently care more about their own interests than the lives of those they swore to protect.

Share this story on Facebook if you’re disgusted by the actions of Broward County Sheriff Israel Scott.

Do you think there was deep corruption in this sheriff’s department? Scroll down to comment below!

AG SESSIONS: DOJ Will Open Official Investigation Into Obama’s FISA Abuse

AG SESSIONS: DOJ Will Open Official Investigation Into Obama’s FISA Abuse

Attorney General Jeff Sessions told reporters on Tuesday the Department of Justice will open an investigation into FISA abuses after Obama’s FBI, DOJ used Hillary’s phony dossier to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Trump’s camp during the 2016 election.

Sessions said Inspector General Michael Horowitz will be taking on the investigation.

Via The Washington Examiner:

“Yes, it will be investigated,” Sessions told reporters at the court that oversees FISA warrants.

Sessions said an investigation it is the “appropriate thing” to do so, and that his department’s inspector general “will take that as one of the matters he’ll deal with.”Sessions told Fox News on Sunday the FISA process will be investigated, and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that this move will be supported.

“I think that’s the role of the Department of Justice, and we’re glad that they’re fulfilling that job,” she said.

On February 2nd, the House Intel Committee led by Chairman Nunes released their classified FISA memo.

The 4-page FISA memo revealed the phony dossier formed an essential part to obtaining the original FISA warrant and the three subsequent renewals.

We also found out the political origins of the dossier were known to the FBI and DOJ yet kept from the FISA court.

Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe also testified that if not for the dossier, the FBI would never have sought the FISA warrant on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.

Ranking member of the House Intel Committee Adam Schiff has been in panic mode since Chairman Nunes discovered the FISA abuses and unmasking scandal.

On Saturday, Schiff released his Dem spin memo only to have Chairman Nunes crush him with a point by point refutation.

The investigation into the FISA abuses better not be a sham like the FBI’s pathetic investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server.

High School Anti-Gun Rally Turns Violent=> Students Beat Cop, Steal His Baton, Smash Police Car (VIDEO)

Several hundred high school students staged a walk-out protest on Friday.

Students from Stagg, Edison, Chavez, Lincoln and Village Oak high schools walked out of class and in the streets creating traffic problems in the area as most streets were blocked off.

At least five students at the anti-gun protests were arrested.

The angry students were charged with battery on an officer, resisting arrest, taking an officer’s baton and vandalizing vehicles, including patrol vehicles, Stockton police said.

The student mob threw rocks and damaged both police and citizen vehicles.

It was a peaceful protest on a Friday afternoon.

Google Appears to Remove All Shopping Search Results for Guns — Even Water Guns, ‘Guns and Roses,’ ‘Burgundy’

Google Appears to Remove All Shopping Search Results for Guns — Even Water Guns, ‘Guns and Roses,’ ‘Burgundy’



Google has removed search results for any product that contains the word “gun” in it, including water guns, toy guns, the band “Guns and Roses,” and even “burgundy” from its shopping section.

Google has removed results in its shopping tool for a wide range of terms related to firearms, unwittingly censoring completely unrelated items such as music groups and movies whose titles matched filtered terms.

Google Shopping allows users to search for products from a wide range of online shopping sites to compare prices and offerings. The Internet giant has removed search results for a wide variety of terms, which was discovered by social media users this week.

Searches for “gun,” “guns,” “pistol,” “pistols,” “AR-15,” “rifle,” and “revolver,” in the shopping section of Google’s search engine will now fail to return any results, while other searches which have nothing to do with firearms but include the keywords similarly provide no results, including “toy guns,” “water guns,” “glue gun,” “Guns and Roses,” “Gundam,” “Top Gun,” “Naked Gun,” the Man With the Golden Gun,” “Shogun,” “Sex Pistols,” and even “burgundy.”

The fact that words including “gun” as part of the title have led many to suspect Google is running a filter specifically to remove any search result including those letters, as opposed to filtering by product category or vendor.

Searches for “flamethrower,” “knives,” “machete,” “arsenic,” “bombs,” “ammo,” and various gun parts are still returned, however.

Search engine Bing has also removed search results for “pistol” and “rifle,” but does not censor other products with the word “gun” in them.

Google Shopping was the focus of an EU antitrust case against Google that resulted in a record $2.7 billion fine against the company.

Breitbart Tech reached out to Google for comment, but has not received a response.

GOP Senator: We Need ‘Idiot Control,’ Not ‘Gun Control’

Sen. John N. Kennedy (R., La.) said on Tuesday during an appearance on CNN that America needs greater "idiot control" instead of more "gun control."

Kennedy, Louisiana’s junior senator who has developed a reputation for his colorful use of colloquialisms since coming to Congress in 2017, was on "CNN Newsroom" to discuss his opposition to any new gun control measures being pushed in the wake of the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Fla. earlier this month.

The shooting, which left 17 dead and countless wounded, has reignited the national conversation surrounding gun control.

CNN’s John Berman asked Kennedy about his opposition to a bipartisan measure being championed by Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R., Texas) that would strengthen the information reporting process between state and federal agencies to better identify who is and isn’t eligible to purchase firearms.

"I don’t think we need more gun control laws," Kennedy said.

"Not a single one?" Berman replied.

"No," Kennedy affirmed. "I think we need more idiot control."

Cornyn’s legislation, S. 2135 or the Fix National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Act, has taken on new importance since Congress came back into session Monday. The bill aims to increase the efficiency of federal and state agencies in reporting criminal offenses and other pertinent background information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database. The NICS database, which is run by the FBI, determines if an individual meets the requirements for firearm ownership. The bill rewards agencies in compliance with the measure with greater federal funding while penalizing those that are not.

When pressed about who he classified as "idiots," the senator explained he was referring to those who commit crimes like the mass shooting in Parkland but not to those who are mentally ill. Kennedy acknowledged that in those cases, he might "misuse" the term. He argued that there is, however, too often a jump to assume all mass shooting perpetrators are mentally ill when they might just be "evil." Kennedy specifically cited the fact that many have been quick to say the Parkland shooter was mentally ill but no one has been able to confirm he was for sure.

"I don’t know that, so I will call him an idiot," Kennedy said.

Barbra Streisand Blames Trump for Florida Shooting: He ‘Brings Out the Violence in People’

Barbra Streisand Blames Trump for Florida Shooting: He ‘Brings Out the Violence in People’



Actress and singer Barbra Streisand took her criticism of President Donald Trump to a new level in an interview with Variety, in which she says Trump shares the blame for the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

“I think even that shooter was affected because Trump brings out the violence in people,” Streisand says, of the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, earlier this month that saw Nikalos Cruz kill 17 people with a legally purchased AR-15 rifle.

“He says, ‘It’s OK — rally, lock her up,’” Streisand told Variety of then-candidate Trump and a refrain he chanted about then-candidate Hillary Clinton at campaign rallies.

The two-time Academy Award-winner also praised the students campaigning for more gun control laws in the wake of the Florida shooting.

“I’m so proud of the children who are coming out and talking about sensible gun control,” she said. “That to me, the children, are our future. The children are going to make this happen. I believe that.”

Indeed, Barbra Streisand has long-criticized President Trump. She wrote a Huffington Post article last July, entitled “The Fake President,” in which she writes, “There’s a narcissistic fraud in the White House.”

The 74-year-old, who was a vocal supporter of Clinton, has also blamed President Trump for her weight gain.

“Donald Trump is making me gain weight,” Streisand wrote on Twitter. “I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup!”
