FBI Changes "Primary Mission" from "Law Enforcement" to "National Security" | Political Outcast

FBI Changes "Primary Mission" from "Law Enforcement" to "National Security" | Political Outcast: "The FBI’s creeping advance into the world of counterterrorism is nothing new. But quietly and without notice, the agency has finally decided to make it official in one of its organizational fact sheets. Instead of declaring “law enforcement” as its “primary function,” as it has for years, the FBI fact sheet now lists “national security” as its chief mission.

Regardless, with the 9/11 attacks more than a decade in the past, the timing of the edits is baffling some FBI-watchers."

A Class Act and a Classless One

A Class Act and a Classless One: "By now, everyone who pays attention to the news at all has seen the story about MSNBC’s classless presenter, Melissa Harris-Perry and her less than worthless comments about Mitt Romney’s adopted grandchild. The woman who likes tampons as a fashion statement is right at home on the Karl Marx channel or as cable networks call it, MSNBC. At first she mocked the child that the Romney family had welcomed into their home.  She’s a racist and racism was the basis of her attack.  Then, she tried to mock the criticism of her. Then came the tear filled apology to the Romney fam"
