May 1, 2020 2:00 PM Trent Thompson, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Homeland Security. In an effort to continue our co-curricular commitments to our students and our long-standing relationship of bringing our intellectual gifts to the Jacksonville area, MacMurray has launched 'Mac Talks'. The Department of Homeland Security works to improve the security of the United States. The Department's work includes customs, border, and immigration enforcement, emergency response to natural and manmade disasters, antiterrorism work, and cybersecurity.
In A Practical Introduction to Homeland Security: Home and Abroad, authors Bruce Oliver Newsome and Jack A. Jarmon provide a well thought-out, in-depth analysis of key components that need to be understood when it comes to the state and workings of homeland security as well as its international connections. They break down different concepts that make up this broad unit in a structured way that allows for readers interested in the subject to focus on a specific category, making the reading material easier to approach. Both Newsome and Jarmon have written other works regarding international relations and national security. This work, however, contains a more holistic, general idea of the topics for anyone who wishes to become familiar with the basic concepts within these sectors.

I completely agree. However, I will not put politics aside just for the sugar coated, PC, avoidance of confrontation. The threat level is simply another way to contrtol the masses. A police state is well on its way in the U.S.. OK, delude yourself, write me off as some sort of paranoid freak, it is easier that way. However, those that think they are free may one day realize they are not. At that point your only choice for freedom will be death.
We are on the brink of civil war. You may think that the country is too lazy to rise up against its leaders, but as I am sure you already know, apathy is merely the curtain in front of growing discontent. So, I ask you all to consider these excerpts from Patrick Henry's famous address to the pre U.S. Senate in 1775. Swap out British with Bush Administration.

'it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the numbers of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.'

'But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged!'
