It has been 16 years since the Radical Islamic Terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, on the United States that killed 2974 Americans and wounded over 6000.  The flight paths of the 9/11 attack by four aircraft, employed as guided missiles by the Radical Islamic Terrorists, are diagramed in the below listed panel for your review.

An endorsed and elected Combat Veteran For Congress, Congressman Ron DeSantis, Cdr-USNR (JAGC) (R-FL-6), attached an amendment to the must-pass spending bill, that Congress will take up next week.  The amendment prohibits the Special Counsel from investigating President Trump, his family members, or the Trump campaign for anything that happened prior to June 2015, when, then Donald Trump announced his candidacy.

Congressman DeSantis’ amendment puts a 180-day cap on funding for the Special Counsel’s investigation in the Russian collusion probe.  "Congress should not fund a fishing expedition," said Congressman DeSantis. “Congress should use its spending power to clarify the scope and limit the duration of this investigation,” he said. 

After one year of investigation, not one allegation of any criminal wrongdoing has surfaced, nor has the false allegation that the Trump Campaign colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton’s campaign for President been proven.  In fact the opposite is most probably true, since Secretary of State Clinton’s transfer of 20% of the US uranium production to Putin gained his approval.  For the transfer of 20% of the US uranium production to Russia, the Clintons were rewarded with a $140,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation, and Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a one hour speech to a Russian bank.  This Russian collusion is what the Special Counsel should…

Former Special Agent John Guandolo, USNA '89, FBI (USMC) in the below listed article “Understanding The Threat” reveals what the true nature of CAIR, The Muslim Brotherhood, The Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups, ISIS, Al Q’ieda, Hamas, Hizballah, and Radical Islamic Terrorists' goals are.  

For the last 8 years, with the help of their appointees in the Obama administration, they jumped at the opportunity to destabilize the Republic with their misleading explanations of who they are.  Over the last 200 days, they have taken advantage of the naive and gullible members of the Trump administration to cover up the true nature of their goal.  Their true goal is to install Sharia Law as a replacement for the US Constitution.

In the last 8 years, The Muslim Brotherhood and The Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups (CAIR, ISNA, NAIT, MSA, ICNA, MAS, MPAC, and IIIT) were able to create a very dangerous Firth Column.  With the assistance of the Obama administration members of The Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups have been appointed and imbedded themselves in highly sensitive and classified positions in just about every agency of government including but not limited to DOD, DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA, NSC, STATE, JUSTCE, the US Armed Forces, and Intelligence Agencies, similar to what the Communist Party did in the 1940s and the 1950s.

The below listed article, explains why a coalition of San Diego Patriotic organizations, families of San Diego City School students, San Diego registered voters in the Democrat and Republican parties, leaders of the Christian & Jewish communities, members of Veterans Organizations, retired Law Enforcement Officers, Women Volunteers In Politics, retired military personnel, and the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC came together to support The Freedom of Conscious Defense Fund (FCDF) Federal Law Suit filed by Charles S. LiMandri, Esq. against the San Diego Unified School Board to oppose its partnership with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to indoctrinate impressionable young students in the San Diego City Schools in Islam and Sharia Law.  

CAIR was identified as an International Terrorist Organization and outlawed in 2014 by the United Arab Emirates.  CAIR was listed by the FBI as an Unindicted Co-Conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Terrorist Trial for supporting the funding of Terrorist Groups.  The Muslim Brotherhood (MB), founded in Egypt in 1928, and its Front Groups have been outlawed and designated as dangerous International Terrorist Organizations by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Bahrein, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia.  Israel, Canada, and the United Kingdom are considering designating the MB and its Front Groups as International Terrorist Organizations.

Admiral James A. Lyons, Jr., USNA '52, USN (Ret), former Commander US Pacific Fleet, discusses the need to restore the “Military’s Moral Underpinning” in his below listed Op Ed.  It is so appropriate and timely in light of President Trump’s decision to terminate the induction of transgender people into the US Armed Forces. 

Terminating transgender people from serving in the US Armed Forces is another of the President Trump’s important steps, to change the disastrous policies Obama imposed on the US Armed Forces by force feeding his “Social Experiment On Diversity” into the US military over the last 8 years.  

President Trump stated that, after consulting "with my generals and military experts," that the US government "will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military."  

The over 2 million military personnel serving in the US Armed Forces and Reserve Force, do not want to conform to the strange transgender accommodations imposed upon them by Obama (men sleeping in women compartments, women using male bathrooms, males showering with women, personnel being absent from their units for extended periods going through sex change operations, increasing the work load on everyone else in the undermanned unit, etc.)  

The critical issue that Obama completely ignored for the last 8 years, was that no policy should ever be…

Two Naval Academy graduates, believe strongly that the increasing National Debt, that doubled over the last 8 years, is the greatest threat facing the Republic, and it threatens the future of America’s children.  They are proposing the below listed initiative; they are:

John A. Knuble, USNA ’62, the former Assistant Secretary & Chief Financial Officer, Department of Housing and Urban Development

William “Bill” Owens, USNA ’62,  Admiral, USN (Ret), the former Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff

They have proposed an initiative to rein in the out of control spending by an irresponsible Congress, since the revenue stream is far exceeded by the National Debt.  This is not a Republican or Democrat initiative, it is a Patriotic American initiative to move toward a balanced budget, in order to protect future generations of Americans. 

If the trends that persisted over the last 8 years continue, it will impair the value of the American dollar and the viability of the US economy.  They are proposing limiting the amount of debt under Article Five of the US Constitution; 27 states are moving in the direction to consider such a proposal.  The goal is to educate American citizens in 7 additional states to support a proposal to limit the amount of National Debt.

President Donald J. Trump saw the hat of one of the US Marine Guards blow off his head, due to heavy winds; he chased the hat, bent down, picked the hat off the ground, then put it back on the Marine Guard’s head.  Every American should watch this video of a caring US President’s respect and courtesy toward a US Marine. Amazing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHrQvIh0hxQ

There is a stark difference in how President Trump treats US Marine Guards, who he always returns hand salutes to, and how Obama treated a US Marine Guard when he occupied the Oval Office.  

The press never recorded any other US President who did what Obama did with a US Marine Guard; the press actually recorded Obama having a US Marine Guard cover hold an umbrella over him, to protect him from the rain, while the US Marine Guard holding the umbrella, who was not under the umbrella, had his “hat” and uniform get drenched.  Revealing!

In the below listed opinion piece by nationally renowned Psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Abelow, M. D., about President Donald J. Trump, Dr. Abelow expands in his rebuttal of the non-stop, out of control attacks on the President, by the Progressives, Leftists, the new Marxists Democrats, and Obama’s Organization For Action (OFA).  They continue to mischaracterize every one of the President Trump’s accomplishments, as they move forward in their plan to effect the first Coup D’estat of the President of The United States in 241 years.  

It would be interesting to be able to see psychiatric evaluations of political opportunists who continue to make unfair, frothing at the mouth, out of control vitriol attacks on President Trump; progressives like Maxine Waters, Al Franken, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren (aka Pocahontas), Michael Moore, and talk show anchors on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Show, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.  Mika and Joe poke President Trump, on air, in their expression of deep hatred and their immature obsession with the election of President Trump. Their daily rants continue for three hours a day---non-stop.  Some of their obnoxious comments designed to attack, belittle, and degrade the President of The United States are as follows:

Each year on Independence Day, the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate, express their support for the freedoms they enjoy, and recognize the unlimited opportunities afforded them to improve their station in life, because of The Free Enterprise System.  The Fourth of July is also an opportunity for each “Patriotic American Citizen” to celebrate a second symbolic birthday.  

Countless generations of Americans fought for, and under, the American Flag.  The American Flag symbolizes the unity of Americans.  The “Flag” is flown on national holidays above US Federal buildings, on US Military installations, on US Navy ships, over US Embassies & US Missions, by deployed US military units overseas and by millions of Americans over their residences.  The “American Flag” symbolizes the principles upon which the Founding Fathers established the Republic, and collectively signed the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago. 

On the Fourth of July, and every day, Americans citizens demonstrate their support for Military Veterans and members of the US Armed Forces, who raised their right hand and swore to protect and defend the US Constitution, then gallantly served in the defense of the Republic under the American Flag.

In the below listed E-mail Col James C. Harding, USAF (Ret), the most highly decorated US Air Force Fighter Pilot in history, with 90 medals including the following combat decorations, expresses his alarm at Obama’s plan is to take down the President of the United States by any means possible.

Air Force Cross

Silver Star with 2 oak leaf clusters

Legion of Merit with 1 oak leaf cluster

Distinguished Flying Cross with 8 oak leaf clusters

Bronze Star with combat V and 1 oak leaf cluster

Meritorious Service Medal

Air Medal with 39 oak leaf clusters

Air Force Commendation Medal with 1 oak leaf cluster

Presidential Unit Citation with 4 oak leaf clusters

USAF Outstanding Unit Award with combat V and 4 oak leaf clusters

Col Harding concerns are that Obama formed the Organization For America (OFA) while he still occupied the Oval Office, and staffed it with 32,525 members, established 250 offices throughout the United States, and set aside a budget from his former campaign of $40 million, which budget is being increased by Obama’s current fundraising drives.

The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, International Terrorist Organizations, have managed to get Senate Resolution 118 and House Resolution 257 introduced into the House and Senate.  If those resolutions are passed into law, this law will “Criminalize Freedom of Speech.”  

The Founding Fathers gave Americans “Freedom of Speech" in the US Constitution; CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood are trying to “Criminalize Freedom of Speech.”   

Those resolutions are part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s sinister plan to replace the US Constitution with Sharia Law, through a back door method of passing various laws that chip away at the precepts of the US Constitution.  Those International Terrorists know Patriotic Americans would never knowingly replace the US Constitution with Sharia Law.  

There is absolutely no need for this proposed new law since the current laws and civil rights laws already prohibits violence, threats of violence, discrimination against “all” individuals, and hate crimes.  The resolution conveniently protects Muslims but “Excludes Christians”.

How could members of the House and Senate be so foolish as to pass those destructive resolutions that would undermine the US Constitution and would be the beginning of the Muslim Brotherhood success in slowly destroying the foundation upon which the Republic was created, the US Constitution---this law is a subtle attack…

"The American Flag" symbolizes the principles outlined in the US Constitution by the Founding Fathers. All members of the US Armed Forces raised their right hand and swore to protect and defend the US Constitution, and countless generations of those American Patriots have fought for and under "The American Flag."  

Flag Day is another of the many opportunities Patriotic Americans have to demonstrate their respect for “The American Flag,” and to set an example for younger generations that respect for “The American Flag,” demonstrates ones respect for the Republic.

Through the generations, "The American Flag" is the Patriotic banner under which the nation came together to reject the relentless efforts of America's domestic enemies to divide the Republic by race, religion, ethnicity, and gender.

Obama appointed Comey, as Director of the FBI Comey let politics cloud his decisions as Director of the FBI and repeatedly did not operate the Bureau properly according to the rule of law.

Comey constantly engineered multiple misleading leaks to The New York Times that were  a “violation of his FBI Employment and Non-disclosure Agreements.” 

Comey said, in testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, that he leaked information in hopes that a Special Council would be appointed to investigate President Donald Trump in the Russian Scandal.  

Comey, in a press conference, publicly “cleared” Hillary Clinton for repeatedly violating Federal Security Laws by transmitting over 2000 Classified and Special Compartmented E-mail on an unclassified server for 4 years.

Comey refused to publicly clear President Trump after he told many Committee Chairmen in Congress and President Trump three times that he was not under investigation by the FBI, or collusion with Russia in the election.

Comey followed orders of Attorney General Loretta Lynch to call the “FBI Investigation” of Hillary Clinton violation of Federal Security Laws  a “Matter” and Comey did not write a memo to himself about what AG lynch said.

Ahmed Musa Jubril, Esq., a convicted felon who served 7 years in prison, is 46 years old.  Ahmed Musa Jubril is the Radical Islamic Terrorist Imam of a Dearborn, Michigan Mosque; he is called the “Preacher of Hate.”  The hateful teachings on his Jihadist Web site includes YouTube videos.  

The teachings of Ahmed Musa Jubril “inspired” one of the three Radical Islamic Terrorists---Khuram But (27 from Pakistani), Rashid Redouanne (30 from Morocco & Libya), and Youssef Zayhba (22 from Morocco), who killed 7 pedestrians and wounded over 50 others on the London Bridge on June 3, 2017; 18 of their victims remain in the hospital in critical condition.  

The three Radical Islamic Terrorists ran pedestrians down with the white van they leased, then when the van crashed to a full stop, they stabbed pedestrians and cut their throats with long knives, while yelling “Allah Akbar.”  The leader of the three terrorist, Khuram But, had ties with radical Imam Anjem Choudary who preached hate in a London Mosque.

Ahmed Musa Jubril , the “Preacher of Hate” should be charged with supporting terrorism, encouraging the oppression of non-believers, and promoting sedition with Muslims worshipping in his Mosque in Dearborn, and with followers on the Internet who watch his YouTube videos and visit his Web site.

The unprecedented and reckless illegal spying and surveillance of Donald Trump and his Presidential campaign under the direction of the Obama administration has been unmasked.  

This is the first time in 241 years, a TREASONOUS plot to bring down the duly elected President of the United States and disenfranchise every American who voted for him, had been plotted for 7 months.  The TREASONOUS plot was entered into by a sinister group of individuals and organization under the leadership and guidance of Nazi Sympathizer George Soros and Obama’s Organization For America.  They refuse to accept the fact that the President of the United States was duly elected by the Electoral College, as every other US President in history.  

The sinister group of individuals and organizations include, but are not limited to John Brennan, Nazi collaborator Georg Soros, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, Valerie Jarrett, Bill Ayers, Obama, CAIR, Keith Ellison, Tom Perez, the Communist Party USA, The Nation of Islam, La Raza, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Weather Underground, the Organization For America, and the Muslim Brotherhood working daily to bring down the duly elected President of the United States.

For 11 months, there has been daily “slanderous” and unsubstantiated charges, by the left of center liberal media establishment’s “propaganda”, that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, yet nearly a year later, there is still not a single shred of concrete evidence proving there was a collusion by the Trump campaign with Russia in order to defeat Hillary Clinton for the presidency.  

The unvarnished truth is that an inept and ineffective Hillary Clinton neither had a Presidential Campaign Theme that the press or that no one understood the meaning of, nor did she have an economic agenda—“Hillary defeated Hillary.”  The “False Russian Scandal” is a creation of Nazi Collaborator Soros, the New Democratic-Marxist-Muslim Party, and the Obama’s Organization For America. 

Last week, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, General John Kelly, USMC (Ret) said that the intensity and coordinated of the campaign to unseat the US President have crossed the line, and is now the equivalent of TREASON.

Today and every day, we honor American Combat Veterans who gave up their tomorrows, and we honor members of the US Armed Forces, who are often separated from their loved ones for long periods of time, as they go into “Harm’s Way.”  

The nation also solemnly honors Gold Star families for their loss.  Those families feel the loss of their loved ones daily!   

Today and every day, we also honor all Veterans who served in the defense of the Republic.  At one point in their lives, Veterans wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives.”  America owes them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid!

In an unusual event in history, on May 21, 2017, the President of the United States addressed an extraordinary meeting of the leaders of 50 predominately Muslim nations who assembled in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  In a forceful, focused, and coherent speech of clarity and conviction, President Trump, projected the economic and military strength of the United States, and asked the 50 leaders to unite with the United States to stamp out Islamic extremism, drive out Islamic Terrorist from their countries, and work with the United States to create a peaceful world.  He stated that Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, is behind a great deal of the terrorist violence in the Middle East.  

The text of the speech (in the below listed article), signaled a turning point in American Diplomacy, resulted in a $109 billion weapons agreement for Saudi Arabia, and an investment of $350 billion by Saudi Arabia in the United States over the next 10 years (which will create thousands of new jobs).

Back when music was so wholesome and awesome.  It was during World War II that a song helped immortalize Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Glenn Miller Orchestra introduced ‘I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo’ in the 1942 musical ‘Orchestra Wives’ starring George Montgomery, Ann Rutherford, Cesar Romero, a young Jackie Gleason, with a dance number by the Nicholas Brothers. 

With a moderate swing tempo, writer Mack Gordon and composer Harry Warren produced a number one song capturing the wartime mood of a fella longing for his girl back home. 

Originally recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra with vocals by Tex Behnke, Marion Hutton, and the Modern Aires; it was on the charts for 20 weeks, and garnered an Academy Award nomination as best song. 

As a result of the popularity of the tune, there really was a gal in Kalamazoo.  Sara Woolley (later Knight) was selected by her hometown to represent the “Gal In Kalamazoo.”  Her outgoing personality and good looks made the 19-year-old Kalamazoo College student an ideal spokesperson for the city. Her picture and story were published in newspapers, and she became a celebrity.  She received mail from her fans, including admiring servicemen, and made many public appearances to sell war bonds, and to promote Kalamazoo.

The San Diego Unified School District formed a partnership with CAIR, a Terrorist Front Group, to become the first School District in the nation to approve an unhealthy indoctrination of American students about Islam and how to become 100% compliant with anti-Constitutional Sharia Law.  

The “Flawed Judgement” of the Inept San Diego Unified School District Board to partner with CAIR, in order to indoctrinate American students in Islam and anti-Constitutional Sharia Law is sufficient reason to initiate a recall election for the 4 Board Members who approved the reckless policy.  A recall would ultimately lead to a vote to remove the 4 Board members who exercised poor judgment and should be removed from office.  The policy initiated by CAIR would undermine the San Diego’s Public School system.

In 2007, in the Holy Land Foundation Trial, CAIR was found to be guilty in US Federal Court of a terror-funding plot.  The US Justice Department identified CAIR, as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing conviction in the nation’s 240 year history. 

The FBI specifically identified CAIR as “a Hamas front group in the US and an entity of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, a secret body set up to advance the Hamas terrorist agenda.”  The United Arab Emirates identified CAIR as a Terrorist organization in 2014 and banned them from operating in the UAE.

The below listed article is a firsthand historic account by one of the 16 pilots who participated in the “Tokyo Raid” against Imperial Japan; the raid was led by Lt Col James “Jimmy” Doolittle, US Army Air Corps. The “Tokyo Raid” was launched in retaliation for the December 7, 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Forces of Japan.  Seventy-five years later, Americans are still awed by the sheer courage, determination, and grit of the 80 Army Air Corps crew members who participated in the “Tokyo Raid” on April 18, 1942.

Admiral William “Bull” Halsey, USN, was in Command of Task Force 18 which was directed to approach within 480 nautical miles of Japan to launch the “Tokyo Raid” on Imperial Japan.  A Japanese picket boat was spotted 650 nautical miles from Japan; it was sunk by naval gunfire from the USS Nashville (CL-43) (11 Japanese sailors were rescued by the Nashville).  Out of an abundance of caution, even though Task Force 18 was 170 nautical miles away from the preplanned launch point, Admiral Halsey gave an early “go” signal to launch the mission to strike military targets in Imperial Japan, because the Task Force intercepted a signal the picket boat sent out after it sighted Task Force 18.

It has been over 75 years since Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, USNA 1904, USN was Commander-in-Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, when on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Forces of Japan attacked the US Armed Forces in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.  After the Roberts Commission investigated the events surrounding the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Admiral Kimmel was reduced in rank to Rear Admiral, and was subsequently Honorably Discharged in that grade.

Of the nine official investigations of the surprise attack by the Imperial Forces of Japan on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Roberts Commission was the only investigation that charged Admiral Kimmel with "dereliction of duty."  Indeed, several of the other investigations made specific findings to the contrary.  Recent writings on the subject of the Imperial Forces of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor indicate an increasing awareness, that it was patently unfair to place the full responsibility for the losses in Pearl Harbor solely on the shoulders of the US Naval and US Army Air Force Commanders in Hawaii on the date of the attack.

The general public, Veterans of WWII, and members of the US Armed Forces have never fully accepted the official findings of the Roberts Commission.  The lingering question is why the US military forces in Hawaii were not provided with the most current intelligence available to the Navy…

The below listed video is one of the most important videos on the terrorist threat to the US; it explains why Muslim Extremist Groups (like ISIS & Al Q’ieda Sunni terrorists), the Muslim Brotherhood International Terrorist Group & their front groups, and Iran’s Hizballah Shiite Sleeper Cells in the US (collectively referred to as “Radical Islamic Terrorists”), are working together to defeat, what they consider a weak, divided, and vulnerable America, and why they believe they will be successful in destroying America from within, and will replace the US Constitutional form of government with a Sharia Law based government.  

Over the past 80 years, when the Nazi and Communist ideologies tried to destroy America from within, America mobilized its resources under the leadership of 12 US Presidents to defeat the threats.  Unfortunately over the last 8 years, because of the manner in which the Radical Islamic Terrorist ideology was dealt with by the Obama administration, that ideological threat to destroy the US Constitutional form of government has strengthened. 

When 80 Radical Islamic Terrorist attacks against Americans on US Soil occurred on his watch, the occupant of the Oval Office did not mobilize its resources like 12 Presidents before him, when they successfully opposed Nazism and Communism.  A blind eye was cast by Obama and Valerie Jarrett at the Iranian-backed Shiite…

Since the 1920s Russian Communists have tried to destabilize US elections, as they are currently trying to destabilize elections in France.  Russian Communists have been very successful in supporting candidates for Congress in the US who want to bring down the US Constitutional form of government.  Over the last 100 years, Russia promoted the philosophies of candidates in the US that resulted in the election of 70 Democratic members of Congress who are Socialists, Leftists, Communists, Progressives, and Muslims (you can easily obtain their names by making a request of Google for the “Socialists, Communists, and Progressives in Congress”).

The goal for all elections in the US should be to prevent the Russians, China, groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, and any other foreign power from influencing US Congressional and Presidential elections.  Following the defeat of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party and the left of center liberal media establishment have been promoting Russian conspiracy theories as the reason why Hillary lost the election.  The assertion is that the Russia worked with the Trump Presidential Campaign to hack the Democratic National Committee, to interfere with, and deny Hillary what she felt was her right to be elected to the presidency.

President Donald J. Trump is very fortunate to have such Honorable American Patriots leading four government departments in support of his efforts to make “America Great Again.”

God Bless the noble souls of those “Honorable” US Marines from the Fifth Division who fought on Iwo Jima, gave the last full measure of devotion to their country on Iwo Jima, those who raised the flag atop Mount Suribachi pictured below, those “Honorable” US Marines who have gone before us, those “Honorable” US Marines still in combat in Afghanistan today, and those who continue to defend and protect the US Constitution!!!  Semper Fidelis.

“Not with a rope, but with Blood and Toil is the flag raised, and Devotion only can keep it aloft.”

U.S. Marines of the 28th Regiment, 5th Division raise the American flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, 23 February 1945 

Joe Rosenthal's famous photo of the second flag raising on Mount Suribachi. On Feb. 23, 1945, in the middle of one of the fiercest battles of World War II, a group of U.S. Marines carried a flag up the highest peak on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima and planted it there. Since 1947, the Marine Corps has attached six names to the famous flag-raising photo taken that day. And it says the case is closed.
