Federal authorities are warning that white supremacists and other political radicals could look to attack Independence Day revelers on July 4, noting in a bulletin to law enforcement around the country that domestic terrorists “have attacked perceived oppressors, opponents, or enemies engaged in outdoor First Amendment-protected rallies or protests during past summers.”
The warning came in a joint intelligence bulletin issued by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Center, urging law enforcement personnel to remain vigilant for suspicious activity.
Such bulletins are routinely distributed in the days before a major national holiday, but previous bulletins have often focused on “homegrown” terrorists inspired by overseas groups like ISIS or al-Qaeda rather than “domestic” terrorists radicalized by domestic issues such as abortion or white supremacy.
The bulletin, which was issued Wednesday, makes prominent mention of both threats inside the U.S. homeland.
“The FBI, DHS, and NCTC remain concerned that [they] could target upcoming Independence Day celebrations, gatherings, or parades, though we are unaware of any current plots specifically targeting such events,” stated the bulletin, obtained by ABC News. “We note that attacks can occur with little to no warning because of the frequently lower levels of security around civilian targets, challenges in securing large crowds, and calls for attacks against soft targets.”

and the mayors of states will order the police to stand down- can’t enforce the law when liberals, domestic terrorists with left leaning agendas- or the black community are violating it- that’s the new law apparently-
I kinda hope the Antifa a-holes show up. I have a feeling they will get some justice delivered to them.
“White supremacist” - a citizen of any color who believes in the right to keep and bear arms.
If anything, it’ll be some Antifa idiots doing property damage and harassing anyone waiving a flag at a parade as a Nazi.
Why Domestic? Why not Foriegn?
[[Federal authorities are warning that white supremacists ]]
The only ones i see attacking anyone are LEFT Leaning Groups- violently attacking people- while the police are ordered NOT to arrest them
When is the last time white supremacists attacked anyone? Not sticking up for them- but I don’t see them attacking people like the left are physically attacking people now- and the left, NOT the supremacists, are even calling for their members to throw acid in people’s faces now-
Has there EVER been another entity where the demand outstrips the supply MORE than the media’s “white supremacists” meme ?
Ahh, those pesky and elusive white supremacists..
Maybe its just me, but when I see this;

It reminds me that there is a narrative in play and there are members of DoJ and the press that word bulletins and messages in the manner to support their narrative. The last two words are very carefully chosen in my opinion. If something does happen with the ANTIFA Brownshirts or groups like them get a level of cover. Its a disturbing observation and a sign of the times.
My hope is the people of this great nation have a great 4th and remember how and who helped us get here. It was not free and we have to stay vigilant.
Anyone who puts quotes around “domestic” in “domestic terrorist” is a domestic enemy.
“Why Domestic? Why not Foriegn?”
Our foreign enemies have been content to let our domestic ones operate in their stead — for now.
Anyone check Craigslist for the ‘Rent a White Supremacist’ ads for 4th of July to see which areas are hiring?

Half of American voters disagree with everything you’ve posted.
noting in a bulletin to law enforcement around the country that domestic terrorists “have attacked perceived oppressors, opponents, or enemies engaged in outdoor First Amendment-protected rallies or protests during past summers.”
Meanwhile, ANTIFA has free reign to beat up conservatives and reporters all over the place. Label them a “Terrorist Group” — not on your life! There are too many White Supremacists out there to chase down.
very true but I will keep fighting and hoping this mess get corrected.
Main stream media hoping there will be anyway.
And half of the other half wants to let the children of foreigners be President.....
