The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Details show extent of terror plot against U.S.
Full Story

We now know more about an alleged attack that triggered an increased national threat level last summer.

That's when U.S. officials said they had uncovered a plot targeting financial institutions. The plot involved bombs, banks and British nationals.

The detail was startling, the targets enormous. They included financial buildings in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

USA / MEXICO - U.S. lawmen aren't laughing at cartoon

"depicting a reward of $10,000 for an FBI or DEA agent"

In the cartoon, a drug trafficker stands near the reward sign. He's quoted as saying, "Let's see what type of hide yields more belts." The hide presumably refers to the skin of the agents.

LOL. Look at Scarborough's priceless commentary on teddy boy kennedy from your transcript link!

<<"And, finally, I have got issues with Ted Kennedy. Now, while most of us Americans celebrate wedding anniversaries, national holidays, historical high points, like the D-Day landing, Massachusetts‘ liberal lion has decided to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Abu Ghraib, urging Americans to remember one year later just how depraved their finest in uniform really are.

I guess we shouldn‘t be surprised. This is, after all, the same man who went to the Senate floor last year and compared American troops to Saddam Hussein‘s Baathist thugs, a fascist force responsible for the killing of more Arabs than any other police state in history. Nice touch, Senator. So, remind us again, when is the anniversary of your finest hour?">>

Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily will discuss Iranian nukes.

I wasn't home. Was there anything of note discussed on the show?

[MamaDearest]

Iranian threat of launching a nuke at altitude, unleashing an EMP attack over populated areas

No communication (computer/tv/radio) and no transportation (car/truck) would be devastating beyond comprehension. Iran seems to be getting a lot of mileage and enjoyment bullying, taunting and threatening America.

[MamaDearest]

I'm waiting for . . . "US Enacts 'Force With Force' Law"

In the Southwest and West there are many home invasion robberies. A man's home IS his castle. Anyone breaking in forcefully is not there to have tea, crackers and a friendly chat. Persecution for protecting one's family from such intruders is utterly outrageous.

Thank you Neosgirl.

The open borders represent a raw nerve with the American public. Hillary wants to pull swing voters, and this may be a HUGE catalyst in the '08 elections. Praying our Republican leaders familiarize themselves with this issue pronto, if they haven't already begun to do so.

[MamaDearest]

We need to begin a list of things to watch and worry about:

Please add to that list:

Convenience stores

Airline Maintenance Areas

Fast Food Restaurants (counter and cooking)

Produce Suppliers
