Former Staffers Sue Gamrat And Courser - Case Appears Frivolous - Taxpayers On Hook?

In a case that is sure to waste more taxpayer funds, former

aides Keith Allard and Ben Graham are suing former Michigan State Representatives Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat in Ingham County Circuit Court.  The two are seeking whistle-blower protection for reporting hostile behavior to House of Representatives staff before Courser and Gamrat fired them July 6 without explanation. They claim the firing was retaliation for reporting

Keith Allard and Ben Graham

ethical and campaign finance violations by their bosses to House Speaker Kevin Cotter’s office.

The fact is though many legal experts say they do not qualify for whistle blower protection. In addition both Allard and Graham were at-will employees.

Michigan is an “at-will” employment state. This means that absent an employment contract, both the employer and employee are free to terminate the employment at any given time, and for any legitimate purpose. Hence, it may be difficult to file a wrongful termination or wrongful discharge claim if your employment is considered to be at-will.

All Michigan House of Representatives employees have a non-tenured, "at will" employment status. It is the policy of the House of Representatives to employ, by the Constitution and applicable federal or state statutes, qualified individuals without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, height, weight or any other categories or groups protected by law.

Former State Representative Todd Courser stated that he fired Allard and Graham because their job 
performance was not up to his expectations. This reason alone would qualify as a legitimate firing under at-will.

The one important fact that Allard and Graham are also forgetting is that they would be out of a job now anyways since Gamrat was expelled and Courser resigned. 

RUSSIA: OBAMA LYING TO AMERICAN PEOPLE - US NOT BOMBING ISIS AT ALL

Just a couple of days into their airstrikes against ISIS, ISIS

has been left decimated.  Why haven't we seen the same results with our supposed attacks on ISIS that have now been on going for over a year?

The head of the Russian parliament’s international affairs committee, Alexei Pushkov posted on Twitter on Friday and said the United States is not bombing ISIS.


Alexei Pushkov said on Twitter that “McCain accused us of striking out at US-trained insurgents… 

However, since they have either run away or joined al-Qaeda, hitting them is a mission impossible.”


“The US-led coalition spent a whole year pretending they were striking ISIL (ISIS) targets but where are the results of these strikes?” Pushkov asked during and interview with France’s Europe 1 Radio.


Earlier this week the Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam said there “is clearly no seriousness” to the war against ISIS. He added the objective is not eliminating the Islamic State but rather an effort by the West to “force their presence” in the region and worsen the situation there.


“From the very outset, this air campaign has NOT been directed against ISIS,” writes Michel Chossudovsky. “The evidence confirms that the Islamic State is not the target. Quite the opposite.”

“The air raids are intended to destroy the economic infrastructure of Iraq and Syria.”


Documents compiled by Russia show the United States and its partners in the Gulf states and Turkey supported the Islamic State and planned to establish a Salafist principality in Syria.


The Pentagon has admitted it “helped build ISIS” and armed the group with weapons transferred from Benghazi, Libya.

Another Public School Caught Teaching Children Islam

Just last week we wrote a story about angry parents in Walton County Georgia whose children were being indoctrinated in the Islamic faith.  Now we have another report of this happening in another part of  America.

This time the report is coming from Bakersfield California where one parent vented her frustration on Facebook with a copy of the assignment and her response to the school district.."

Oregon Shooter On CIA And INTERPOL ISIS Terror Watch List

The Federal Security Services (FSB) is reporting that the black-Islamist terror suspect, who committed an act of mass murder in Roseburg Oregon, had been included on a list of 87,000 “known/suspected” Islamic terrorists that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) refused last month to accept from the Federation due to its not being “politically viable in the present atmosphere”.

According to that report, the black-Islamist terrorist who committed this act of terror, Chris Harper Mercer, was previously identified by electronic intelligence specialists within the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) as being an Islamic State (ISIS) supporter after he had attempted to gain passage to Syria via Turkey during the first week of September, 2015.

By the Obama regime refusing to accept this terror list from the Federation, this report continues, Mercer was able to accomplish his terror act when yesterday he killed 9 people and wounded 7 others at the Umpqua Community College prior to his being shot and killed by local US police forces.

Many that realize this was a terror attack wondered why Umpqua College was targeted.   Well as it turns out one of the American heroes from last months foiled terror attack on the France train is from Roseburg, Oregon and was registered to go to school there until he was chosen to be a contestant on ABC TV's "Dancing With The Stars"

Smoking Gun: Umpqua College Chosen As ISIS Retaliation

Make no mistake the college shooting in Oregon was a terrorist attack.   Unlike the mainstream media that refuse to connect the dots, we have and what we found will confirm that this was a terror attack. 

It has become blatantly obvious why this terrorist shooting attack occurred at little Umpqua Community College in sleepy small town Roseburg Oregon.    There are no coincidences.  What we have discovered is what the main stream media will not tell you.

Do you remember the three American heroes that stopped the terrorist attack on the train headed to Paris, France last month? 

Well one of those heroes was Alek Scarlatos.   Alek was enrolled in this current fall semester at Umpqua Community College (per his Facebook).  He however cancelled his classes and took time off as he was invited and gladly accepted the opportunity to compete in ABC's Dancing With The Stars.

Umpqua Community College was/is the local college attended by Alek Scarlatos (pictured below far right).  

Also the main stream media has been slow to report what the shooter did before he shot his victims.  Numerous eyewitnesses have come out on social media stating that the shooter asked his victims their religion before shooting them.  Witness have said those that said Christian were shot in the head. 

The media says the police do not have a motive in the shooting, yet one can easily connect the dots.  

ISIS came out on the internet and have taken credit for the shootings.  

Recruiting home grown terrorists has been a growing problem in the U.S. as ISIS continues to use social media to recruit.  

There is also an unknown number of jihadists in this country, thanks to the open borders especially on our southern border.

Update: Shooter Was On Terror Watch List

Oh Yes Umpqua Community College Was A Gun Free Zone

The liberal media with a gun control agenda is stating that Umpqua Community College was not a gun free zone.  That is not the case.  Yes Umpqua Community College is a gun free zone.

The current policy of the State Board of Education states that

people with concealed carry permits are allowed to bring their firearms on campuses, but are not into university buildings, which means a person can roam a campus with a concealed weapon, but if they want to go indoors, they must have somewhere (like the trunk of their car) to store their weapon. Umpqua Community College is not governed by the State Board of Education, but has a similar policy in place.

“Possession, use, or threatened use of firearms (including but not limited to BB guns, air guns, water pistols, and paint guns) ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, or any other objects as weapons on college property, except as expressly authorized by law or college regulations, is prohibited,” according to the college’s code of conduct. Additionally, the college bans knives with blades longer than four inches and misuse of defensive weapons like pepper spray or stun guns.

Oregon Community College Shooters Asks Victims Religion Before Shooting Them

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and swims like a

duck...

One thing for sure the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg Oregon was a terror attack.  The question now is was it domestic or international.  Seeing that the 20 year old male shooter asked one's religion before shooting them makes one think...  It also makes one think that why they couldn't identify the shooter beyond being a 20 year old male.

The identities of the shooter and the victims were unavailable at press time. At least 11 had been transported to Mercy Medial Center, according to Mercy spokeswoman Kathleen Nickel, and two of those died. One victim was life-flighted north. As many as 15 victims were dead and the alleged shooter was reportedly killed.

Kortney Moore, 18, from Rogue River, was in her Writing 115 class in Snyder Hall when one shot came through a window. She saw her teacher get shot in the head. The shooter was inside at that point, and he told people to get on the ground. The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away, Moore said. Moore was lying there with people who had been shot.

There are unconfirmed reports that the shooter had either been shot or had shot himself. An official confirmed that the shooter had been “neutralized.”

Would more be alive if this wasn't a gun free zone?
