Active Duty Hawaii Soldier, Ikaika Erik Kang, Arrested for Trying to Provide Material Support & Training to ISIS

 Sgt. Ikaika Erik Kang Arrested in Hawaii, Pledging Material Support to ISIS …

34 year old Sgt. Ikaika Erik Kang, a decorated veteran of two deployments to the Middle East, was arrested by an FBI SWAT team at the Schofield Barracks in Honolulu, Hawaii for trying to provide material support and training to ISIS. According to the criminal complaint, Kang “attempted to provide material support to ISIS by providing both classified military documents, and other sensitive but unclassified military documents, to persons he believed would pass the documents to ISIS.” The FBI said that no classified materials actually ended up in the hands of the terrorist group. Kang swore an oath of loyalty to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Saturday, shortly before his arrest. After doing so, Kang allegedly told an undercover agent that he wanted to use his rifle to “kill a bunch of people.”

His father is shocked by the allegations and believes his son may be suffering from PTSD from his tours overseas. According to his military service record, Ikaika Kang was deployed to Iraq in 2010, and served in Afghanistan in 2014.

An active duty Hawaii soldier who was arrested for allegedly trying to provide material support and training to the Islamic State told an undercover federal agent Saturday that he wanted to kill “a bunch of people.

A criminal complaint alleges that Ikaika Erik Kang, 34, was arrested at his Waipahu apartment Saturday, shortly after pledging his loyalty to ISIS and making the threatening statement.

“A probable cause arrest was made in the interest of public safety,” Honolulu FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul D. Delacourt said Monday, after Kang’s first appearance in federal court.

He added, “We believe that Kang was a lone actor and was not associated with others who present a threat to Hawaii.”

President Donald Trump’s Amazing Speech To The People Of Poland (VIDEO) … Poland, a people “who have never lost hope, who have never been broken and who have never ever forgotten who they are”

FINALLY, POLES WHO GET TRUMP CORRECT!!!

Today President Donald J. Trump wowed the crowds in Krasinski Square in Warsaw, Poland with a truly amazing speech to a truly amazing people. The Polish crowds chanted “Donald Trump!” and “USA!” as President Trump talked to one of our greatest allies and a strong people who as Trump stated are a people “who have never been broken and who have never ever forgotten who they are.”

The Polish crowd attending President Trump’s speech in Krasinski Square repeatedly interrupted his remarks with chants of “Donald Trump!” and “USA!”

“The story of Poland is the story of a people who have never lost hope, who have never been broken and who have never ever forgotten who they are,” Trump said in Warsaw, before the crowd began chanting his name.

UPDATE I: Trump commits to NATO defense, slams Russian aggression

President Trump voiced a clear commitment Thursday to NATO’s “Article 5” principle of common defense, reassuring nervous Europeans who had worried about his support for the alliance.

Speaking to a huge crowd in Poland, Mr. Trump said Europeans should never question the U.S. commitment to NATO.

“The United States has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions that we stand firmly behind Article 5,” Mr. Trump said in a speech to tens of thousands of cheering Poles. He had raised concerns in the spring when, during a visit to NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, he neglected to mention Article 5.

But Mr. Trump reminded the audience in Poland, “Our defense is not just a commitment of money, it is a commitment of will.”

“The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive,” Mr. Trump said in Krasinski Square in Warsaw. “Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls.”

Happy Birthday America, July 4th 2017 … Remember America, Its About Freedom, Liberty and Independence

July 4th 2017 … HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Happy Birthday America, to the greatest nation on Earth, the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave. On this July 4th, 2017, please remember on this day that it is each generations responsibility to maintain the freedoms and liberties that our Founding Fathers and Our Creator bestowed on us and with their sacrifices and so many others along the way. America, freedom is never free. As you celebrate this 4th of July with family and friends, please remember that it is not the government, but our Creator provides those rights as set forth in The Declaration of Independence  …  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL -  Ray Charles

In a time in which it would appear that more and more Americans accept being dependent upon their government, maybe it is a good time for “We the People” to really understand and realize what others died for our rights to be free. Our forefathers fought a war of Independence from the Crown, so I ask the question, why do so many today want to be dependent upon a centralized government and why does a government that is supposed to be of by and for the people act like they could care less of the very people they are supposed to represent? Don’t ever forget, the USA is a government of, by and for the people and it is our job to hold the government to that standard.

 God Bless the USA – Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
`Cause we`ll put a boot in your ass
It`s the American way

Lee Greenwood Sings God Bless the USA and Introduces President Trump in Nashville, TN – March 15 2017

THIS WAS AWESOME!!! I had to add Lee Greenwood again as he sings “God Bless the USA” and introduces President Donald J. Trump in Nashville, TN. It was an amazing day as ten’s of thousands came out to see President Trump speak in Nashville. For those who say, whats up with all the empty seats? Its because there were more people waiting in line for miles who never got in than the venue held. Eventually, the Municipal Auditorium filled to capacity and the lines stayed and watched on social media.

It is the people that make change. It is the people who elected a president to make change and make government responsible again to “We the People”

President Donald Trump to Withdraw from Paris Climate Deal

SHOULD THIS BE A SURPRISE, HE CAMPAIGNED AND WON THE PRESIDENCY ON DOING SO …

As reported at The Politico, President Donald Trump is expected to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agreement. A note to the Politico news that acts like an OPED, it is not a victory for the nationalist wing of Trump’s White House, it is a victory for America and Americans. Donald Trump campaigned during the 2016 presidential election against the myths of man-made global warming and won. Trump is simply fulfilling a campaign promise to the People. As stated at Axios, pulling out of Paris is the biggest thing Trump could do to unravel Obama’s climate legacy. Aww, poor Obama won’t have a legacy … at least the United States of America will!!!

President Donald Trump is planning to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agreement, according to a White House official, in a move that is certain to infuriate America’s allies across the globe and could destabilize the 2015 accord.

The upcoming decision is a victory for hardliners such as senior White House adviser Stephen Bannon, who argued that the deal would hobble the U.S. economy and Trump’s energy agenda, and a defeat for moderates like Trump’s daughter Ivanka, who feared that withdrawing would damage U.S. relations abroad. Trump had promised during the campaign to “cancel” the nearly 200-nation agreement, the most comprehensive climate pact ever negotiated.

Axios first reported the news that Trump would withdraw.

World leaders repeatedly pressed Trump on the issue during his recent trip to Europe, as did Pope Francis, who gave the president his papal encyclical on climate change when they met in the Vatican. Others who supported staying included Trump’s secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, and major oil companies such as ExxonMobil and Shell.

But the vast campaign to persuade the U.S. to remain ultimately did not sway the president.

DHS says FBI Investigating 300 refugees for Terror Ties Many from Countries on Trump’s Travel Ban List

MAYBE THIS IS THE REASON WHY TRUMP THINKS THERE SHOULD BE A TEMPORARY TRAVEL BAN TO RE-ACCESS THINGS …

It would appear that President Donald Trump and his temporary travel ban is looking to make America safe again. As reported at Town Hall, the FBI is currently investigating 300 refugees that have been admitted into the United States for ties to terrorism. This is after so-called vetting procedures failed and thus allowing them in America in the first place. REALLY? Also reported is that many of these refugees come from countries that are listed on President Donald Trump’s executtive order, temporarily banning travel from in order to review the vetting process.

The FBI is investigating at least 300 refugees admitted to the U.S. for ties to terrorism after vetting from the countries they came from failed. Fox News Chief Intelligence Correspondent Catherine Herridge has the story:

Nearly a third of the 1,000 FBI domestic terrorism cases – 300 – involve those admitted to the U.S. as refugees, a Department of Homeland Security official said Monday. Officials said some of those 300 came to “infiltrate” the U.S., while others were radicalized once they were in the country.

Monday’s development marked the first official concrete linkage between the refugee program and terrorism.

During a speech to the National Association of Attorneys General in 2015, FBI Director James Comey said agents were working on nearly 1000 ISIS linked cases throughout the United States.

FOX News:

Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly said the travel ban announced Monday was a key to ansuring the refugee program is conducted safely.

“We must undertake a rigorous review of our visa and refugee vetting programs to increase our confidence in the entry decisions we make for visitors and immigrants to the United States,” Kelly said. “We cannot risk the prospect of malevolent actors using our immigration system to take American lives.”

Several refugees have already participated in mass attacks in recent years motivated by apparent Islamic radicalism.

Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan rammed his car into a crowd at The Ohio State University in November after posting a message on Facebook warning America not to interfere with Muslim communities. Somali refugee Dahir Adan reportedly yelled “Allahu Akbar” and asked one victim if they were Muslim during a September rampage in which he stabbed and injured nine people at a Minnesota mall. Seddique Mateen, the father of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, is an Afghan refugee. Countless other refugees have been convicted of plotting attacks or planning to join ISIS abroad.

Though they didn’t enter the nation as refugees, several other terrorists have benefited from inadequate vetting to come to the U.S.

Tashfeen Malik, who was born in Pakistan, came to the U.S. on a K-1 “fiancée” visa prior to engaging in a deadly shooting spree with husband Syed Rizwan Farook that killed 14 and injured 22 others in December 2015. Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the brothers who orchestrated the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, were born in Kyrgyzstan and entered the U.S. when their family filed for asylum.
