Let's be very clear; this is an act of terrorism from religious extremists.
Ammon Bundy says he went to Oregon because "The Lord was not pleased" and wanted "accountability"
In a YouTube video released Dec. 31, Ammon Bundy says that God directed him to go to Oregon, a state he had never visited before.
"I began to understand how the Lord felt about the Hammonds," Bundy says in the video. "I began to understand how the Lord felt about Harney County and about this country. And I clearly understood that the Lord was not pleased with what was happening to the Hammonds If we allowed the Hammonds to continue to be punished, there would be accountability."
In another video, also posted Dec. 31, militia member John Ritzheimer bids farewell to his family as he prepares to drive to Oregon, where he says he is "100 percent willing to lay my life down in order to fight tyranny."

Donald Trump warns his supporters: No more golf if Bernie Sanders wins

Electing Bernie Sanders as president would lead to the end of golfing in the United States, according to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
We have to be progressive in our thinking, Trump said during a campaign rally in Hilton Head, South Carolina. When I say progressive I mean like smart. Im not talking progressive like a Bernie Sanders would say.
This guy wants to tax you think of it this guy wants to raise your taxes to 90 percent, he continued. No, no, think. Youll have to move out I love this area by the way, Ive been here many times. Great golfing area, right? We love it. No more golf no more golf. You wont have any golf any more. You wont have any money left to be golfing.
Its not the first time Trump has accused Sanders of wanting to raise taxes to 90 percent a claim that PolitiFact has rated as Pants on Fire in October. The fact-checking website said Sanders has never explicitly proposed a 90 percent tax rate for billionaires, let alone applying that rate across the board.
