Whoa hoss, Al-Qaeda doesn’t need to infiltrate the US through the Mexican border.
AQ arrives in the US flying First Class, carrying admittance documents to an American university.
Sheesh, you’re so romantic.
LOL ... America’s sheriff is one man who is in total heads-up mode, Lord bless him.
Never forget - this is on 0bama’s watch.
In his final year as Representative, Wicker topped the list in earmarks.
From wikipedia, and there is a link to a deeper source.
I don't know much about Wicker. The superficial review I've done so far strikes me as an opportunist, would likely run under whichever party he thought would bring him the most power and money. Probably has all sorts of enemies.
Prior to September 11th I was working as a structural engineer in the New York City Metro area. I had occasion to visit the Morgan facility (huge!) in Manhattan many times (small jobs) and I had occasion to be throughout the building in the coarse on this work. Anyway, I mention this as this is why i will never forget the goings on back then.
If you remember, virtually simultaneously, anthrax was discovered in both the Morgan facility and the Congressional office buildings mentioned above. The difference...??? Following the news reports... They removed and replaced the entire heating and ventilation duct system in the Congressional office, which took many-many months, they chased every speck of dust. Conversely, they closed a portion of the Morgan facility, washed down and it was back up running in 14 days -back to work slabs!
Just on radio news, it was sent to Sen. Roger Wicker (R)Miss.
here in Florida you can kind them everywhere. The leaves are wide and deep green, and the beans are beautiful. I had a next door neighbor who had them in his backyard..... Until he found out that was the plants that was killing his dogs.
Wicker is a far-right Republican according to GovTrack's own analysis of bill sponsorship.
He seems to speak out on 2nd amendment, was involved in a move to defund Obamacare. So, not as milquetoast as Lott.
If so..there will be more letters to come. Any news on where the letter was postmarked yet?
the point is someone MADE it.....the message is clear....
Right!
The point may not have been to kill anyone per se. As everyone knows all mail sent to the capitol goes through a vigorous screening process.
Meant more to freak people out.
He has an A+ from the NRA, but otoh voted to bring Reid’s abortion to the floor ...
“...I’d bet on Al Qaeda terrorists that came across the Mexican border.”
That or via our oh so tolerant student visa program.
We have seen this before.
M.E. terrorists...
NK terrorists...
La Raza...
The New Black Panthers...
Leftist Commie American's...
Was just about to ping you to this ..
Wicker Opposes President’s Proposals for Stricter Gun Control Wednesday, January 16, 2013TUPELO, MISS. – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), on Wednesday, issued the following statement regarding President Obama’s proposals regarding gun ownership:
"The President's proposals would violate the Constitution and have been proven not to be effective in preventing gun violence,” said Wicker. “I will be part of a bipartisan coalition opposing this legislation and looking for real solutions such as school safety guards, mental health care, and addressing the culture of violence in the media. The Second Amendment rights of Americans must be preserved."
