Congratulations are in order. […] The city of over 7,000 is now the owner of a “49,000 pound, 10-foot-tall, six-wheel-drive” Crisis Response Unit.
“We’re being laughed at,” said Shellmyer, 78. “I went to […] the other day, and everybody wants to ask me if we’re sleeping better at night now that we have the ‘tank.’ ”
NEVADA […] “I counted, they had 11 vehicles all with at least two agents in each one, maybe more,” he said. “They also had four snipers on the hill above us all trained on us. We were doing nothing besides filming the area.”
None of the occupants in the four family vehicles were carrying any fire arms, Bundy said.
Over their vehicle loudspeakers, the BLM officers ordered the family to leave the area, Bundy said.
“They said that we had no first amendment rights except for up by the bridge where they had established an area for that,” Bundy said.
The BLM has established two fenced areas near the City of Mesquite, that they have designated as free speech areas for members of the public to express their opinions.
The cattle were being rounded up by BLM officers as part of a crackdown on Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who has refused to pay “grazing fees” demanded by the feds as a result of a re-classification of 600,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Clark County which Bundy claims has been in his family for generations.
FULL STORY – NEVADA – A man was arrested on Sunday afternoon in connection with the cattle roundup currently ongoing by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on nearly 600,000 acres of public land in northeastern Clark County. (more…)
Boy Howdy, these left-wing activists are sure feeling empowered now with their victory over the Mozilla CEO. The San Francisco activists now demand Google pay $3,000,000,000 (billion) as compensatory indulgence fees for their services and environmental impacts. The extortion demand is requested to be paid to the Anarchist Movement for distribution in/around the Bay Area to affected fellow leftists.
Quite odd, but then again – this is “San Francisco”.(Via Huffington Post) San Francisco is no stranger to raucous anti-tech demonstrations, but a protest outside of Google Ventures partner Kevin Rose’s home yesterday took a turn for the personal.
Protesters held up banners and dispersed fliers (pictured left) outside Rose’s San Francisco home reading “KEVIN ROSE: PARASITE,” and blaming the Google Ventures partner and Digg founder for having a hand in San Francisco’s escalating affordability crisis.
The protest appears to have been staged by a group called The Counterforce, which took credit for the protest on the activist website IndyBay and on the blog kevinroseisaterribleperson.wordpress.com, where they requested Google pay a ransom for its effect on the city’s soaring rents. (more…)
Everything is racist, sexist and homophobic now.
(WASHINGTON DC) Vice President Biden calls on Democrats to “stand up and fight back” against efforts to impose new voter identification requirements in a video for the Democratic National Committee posted Monday.
“I’ve got to tell you, if someone had told me 10 years ago I’d have to make a pitch for protecting voting rights today, I would have said, ‘you’ve got to be kidding,’ ” Biden said.
Biden said that voting access issues had seemed settled, and cited instances of former President Reagan or former Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) backing voting rights legislation. (more…)
Sometimes all it takes is a glance at someone’s youthful photo to grasp that certain je ne sais quoi that made them famous. Other times fame needs a nepotistic kick in the pants. In young Jeremy’s case, I’m guessing it was the later.
Follow below the fold for the answer as to what made this child irresistible. (*Hint*….the initials FF.)

(Via New York Post) Black people are the fathers and mothers of civilization, white men are the devil, the Christian god is nothing more than a ghost and only a small percentage of people understand the world.
These are just some of the beliefs behind the bling — the gaudy Five Percent Nation medallions worn by Jay Z and Carmelo Anthony.
Last week, all eyes at the Barclays Center weren’t on Jay Z’s better half, Beyoncé — but on the coaster-size golden pendant swinging from the rapper’s neck as the couple sat courtside. Asked once if the group’s symbol — an eight-point star with the number 7 in the middle — held any meaning to him, the rapper shrugged, “A little bit.”
So what exactly do Five Percenters believe? (more…)
(Washington Free Beacon) The communications giant Comcast announced in February that it would buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion, creating the largest cable provider in America, with more than 33 million customers. That is about one third of the U.S. cable and satellite television market. FCC approval is required for the merger to go into effect.
Critics of the deal say it would lessen competition and lead to even shoddier customer service. They are probably right, as all of us will soon find out, because there is little chance the merger will be stopped. Comcast, Time Warner, and their political fixers have spent years preparing for this moment—by buying off the Democratic Party.

SACRAMENTO – Officials at Sacramento Unified School District need to remind themselves that public schools belong to the public, and the public has a right to express itself about education issues.
Katherine Duran is the mother of a student at Sacramento’s Mark Twain Elementary, and one of many parents with deep concerns about the school’s scheduled transformation to Common Core math and English standards in the fall.
As a form of protest, Duran printed out a bunch of forms for parents, which they can sign if they want to have their children opted out of Common Core testing.
She gave the forms to her son, Christopher Duran, who handed them to other students to take home to their parents. (more…)
In what can only be compared to a scene from Fort Apache the Bronx – two weeks ago the police in Louisville, Kentucky shouted ‘you’re on your own’ and ran back to their offices.
200+ black youth and young black people thugs had taken to the streets to riot, steal, assault and attack the community around them. The thugs mobbed stores, stole merchandise and then went on numerous riots. (videos here)
Packs of thugs attacked cars and dragged people from their vehicles. White men and white women around the city were brutalized. Seventeen simultaneous events were happening around the city. The police were overwhelmed.
However, what was more surprising than the police being literally overwhelmed, was their admission they could not stop the rampaging mobs.
The PC frozen police could not name the suspects, they could not describe the suspects, they could not even discuss the motives of the suspects who collectively realized they now had the upper hand – and took full measure of advantage with it.
To date they have only arrested two suspects and the Black Grievance Industry is furious the police would have the audacity to even go that far.

PHILADELPHIA – UNRULY students roaming the halls, fighting, smoking weed. Ordering takeout.
Frightened teachers covering their windows and locking their sometimes busted-up doors – while what? – whispering Hail Marys that the roaming band of delinquents won’t disrupt their classes.
And then just days before a lunchtime brawl at Bartram High School that left six students in police custody, a staffer assigned to keep the peace gets knocked unconscious by a student and suffers a fractured skull.
The March 21 incident grabbed headlines, but it was just the latest incident at a school long plagued by violence. (more…)
