Tonight’s Really Big Story

REPORT: ISIS IS HERE AND GROWING
(“More domestic terror-related arrests in the United States than at any time since the 9/11 attacks.”)

Truth Revolt says a new report published by New Jersey’s Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness indicates not only that ISIS is here in the United States, but that allegiance to Islamic terror organizations is on the rise along with the willingness to act. In 2015, 75 homegrown violent extremists were operating across the U.S. – funding, planning, or carrying out plots. Of those arrested, deceased, or now overseas, almost 90% of them were affiliated with ISIS. The rest pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Salafi jihadists, or the Nusrah Front.

FBI DIRECTOR DISMANTLES HILLARY’S LAUGHABLE CHARACTERIZATION:
It’s An Investigation, Not A ‘Security Review’

The Daily Caller says Hillary is fond of downplaying the gravity of the FBI’s investigation into her private email server by calling it a “security review,” but that’s a term that has no meaning to FBI director James Comey. Talking to reporters during a meeting at FBI headquarters on Wednesday, Comey said that the term “security inquiry” does not register with him and that agents are conducting an “investigation.” “It’s in our name. I’m not familiar with the term ‘security inquiry,’” Comey said, according to Politico’s Josh Gerstein.

APRIL CAPPED A RECORD-SETTING YEAR FOR GUN PURCHASES
(It’s All Part Of Obama’s Legacy)

Weasel Zippers say while Hillary says that, if elected, she would start going after guns on Day One of her theoretical presidency, Americans appear to be doing their level best to make sure Clinton would have a whole lot of guns and gun owners to tackle. The FBI reports that every month for the past year has broken a record for firearm-related background checks in that month. That is, there were more checks in May 2015 than in any previous May, more in June 2015 than in any previous June, and so on from month to month, through April 2016.

HOUSE GOP WARNS RYAN TO BACK TRUMP

CNN Says rank-and-file House Republicans are urging Speaker Paul Ryan to get behind presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, warning his resistance could lead to the party fracturing rather than uniting if he withholds his endorsement. “It makes it harder to unite,” said Rep. Raul Labrador, an Idaho Republican and leader within the conservative House Freedom Caucus. Nevada Rep. Mark Amodei was incredulous about the speaker’s high profile break with Trump last week, saying, “Ryan goes out on CNN and says it’s Donald Trump’s duty to unite the party,” asking, “So Mr. Speaker, what’s your job regarding unity?” House Republicans met with Ryan Wednesday morning for the first time since the speaker told CNN’s Jake Tapper he was not yet ready to endorse the presumptive nominee.

FOX NEWS SUSPENDS ED HENRY FOR “ALLEGED” AFFAIR

Debra from Anderson says the Left is having a field day with the allegation that Ed Henry, Fox’s excellent reporter had an affair.  Just to be clear: Peter Jennings was a serial adulterer.  Nora Ephron wrote a best seller about her then-husband, Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein’s affair.  Charles Kuralt lead what was essentially a secret life with his extra-marital companion for 30 years.  60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft had a child with his mistress, who was also married.   Every one of these people are or were held in the highest regard by their suddenly morally fastidious colleagues.

Media Mendacity

 Sen.

Hilarity ensued.
