Something optically devastating is looming on the Chicago skyline, and it looks remarkably like Detroit 2.0.

CNN has been running a network series “Chicago”.   They’ve been trying to frame an apologetic and sympathetic narrative around former White House Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.     They couldn’t have picked a worse time to try and sell the propaganda. 
In what can only be called ‘grandiose irony’,  facts on the ground run counter to the CNN narrative.   So much so, that Chicago is becoming a parody of itself.   The educational system is collapsing with unions entrenched in budgetary battles demanding more and more graft while students fail at astonishing rates.   Constructs of society are collapsing and crime, violent crime, is increasing exponentially;  spurred on by violent gang activity, and it’s spreading.   
Easter weekend 44 people shot, 8 dead, and no-one is brave enough to actually discuss the root cause.   The politically correct talking points don’t let you dare point out the fatherless wild thugs running amuck.   Families who do believe in the strength of a two parent household are fleeing the metropolis for safer life elsewhere.  
Chicago, the self described home of President Obama, where he never visits, is dangerously close to becoming a political liability; and if there’s one thing this White House excels at – it’s controlling political risk.    Chicago is another petri-dish for the dangerous consequences of Democrat social engineering to gain publicity.
Subsequently….   HERE COME The FEDS !!  Or more accurately, HERE COME THE STORM TROOPERS !!
CHICAGO – The federal government is offering help to the city of Chicago in the fight to end violence in the streets. The special section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office will target drugs and guns.

The ruling was 6-2 with only a Sotomayor splodey’….

Washington (CNN) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Michigan law banning the use of racial criteria in college admissions, a key decision in an unfolding legal and political battle nationally over affirmative action.

The justices found 6-2 that a lower court did not have the authority to set aside the measure approved in a 2006 referendum supported by 58% of voters.

It bars publicly funded colleges from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor reacted sharply in disagreeing with the decision. (more…)

Remember all of those ideological folks who say the “knock out assault/game” is a myth?   Here’s the consequence to not accepting the reality of what exists:

Joseph McRae was arrested for randomly striking/punching white women in the face at Penn Station…. for no apparent reason.    Sound familiar ?  It should.
But in the New York criminal justice system the cultural social engineers have been denying the “knock out” assaults exist.   Some New York police departments identify the random ‘punch in the face attacks’ as general “harassment”; as if its possible to define punching someone in the head in a similar vein to cat calls. 
So this ideology sets up the backdrop for sending a 24-year-old white woman -the identical disposition of prior victims- alone, into a confined space with an unstable male who has been arrested for the crime they refuse to recognize.      ‘Nothing to fear, just go on in miss“:

Last December during a town hall meeting hosted by Al Sharpton and the National Action Network in Chicago to address gun violence something unexpected happened.
The audience almost exploded into a revolt against: “Chicago Machine” politics, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a black alderman in City Hall.   The surprise came with a panel and audience members calling to actually vote out their elected officials.
One 82-year-old preacher even called for “Tea Party” style meetings in some of Chicago’s south side communities such as Altgen Gardens and Trumbull Park. (via Breitbart)

These people are dumber than a box of rocks.

Look up the definition of psychological “Projection” and you’ll identify why the progressive left consistently comes up with this insufferably idiocy:

(Via SLATE)  [F]inally, I can’t help but wonder how conservatives would react if these were black farmers—or black anyone—defending “their” land against federal officials. Would Fox News applaud black militiamen aiming their guns at white bureaucrats?

SOUTH HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Two Long Island high school students have been suspended for allegedly bringing a Confederate flag to school.
Brother Gary Cregan, principal of St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, said the two seniors walked in with a Confederate flag draped around their shoulders during an after-hours sporting event at the school.
As CBS 2′s Kathryn Brown reported, there is outrage and disgust on Long Island.

“The African-American students who immediately saw it really exercised heroic restraint and fortunately a teacher immediately confiscated the flag and took the students out of the gym,” Cregan said.

You might remember the murder of Australian college baseball player and exchange student Chris Lane last year in Oklahoma.
A normally quiet weekend in the small southwestern Oklahoma town of Duncan was horribly interrupted last year, when a car carrying three teenagers pulled up behind a lone white male jogger.  The teens in the car fired on the jogger, Chris Lane, with a .22 caliber revolver, striking him in the back.  As horrified witnesses looked on, the jogger staggered and dropped to his knees as the car sped away.  He was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities.
James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were charged with murder in the first degree.  The oldest member of the group, 17 year old Michael Jones, believed to be the driver of the vehicle, gave Duncan police a mind-boggling explanation for the crime: “We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.“

Yesterday a fourth suspect was arrested. (more…)

Attorney General Eric Holder said he was careful not to allude to a racial component when criticizing Congress’s treatment of him last week.

Eric Holder thinks people who accept his statement with the intent and context are stupid, or gullible, or both.   He is now claiming his race speech to Sharpton’s audience, was not about race.    The intellectual dishonesty is mind boggling.

WASHINGTON DC – “I didn’t say there was a racial component. I was very careful not to say that,” Holder told The Huffington Post on Monday.
Last week, Holder told a civil rights group he and President Obama’s administration have been subject to “unprecedented” and “ugly” attacks. He asked what attorney general or president in history had to deal with the same.
Instead of race, Holder said he was alluding to the “breakdown in civility” and the ability to cultivate relationships in Washington. (more…)

WeBeStealin – A brazen flash mob has been caught on camera storming a California store and making off with $20,000 worth of sunglasses.

Surveillance footage shows eight women piling into a Sunglass Hut and crowding around display cases.  Shielding workers from what they’re doing, they quickly stuff dozens of fashion specs into their bags.
A store clerk pleads with them to stop, before running out of the shot to get help and dial 911. The thieves then all bolt outside and escape in a waiting SUV.
The incident occurred at the Valencia Town Center mall, in Santa Clarita, at 3 p.m. on Mar. 29.  Cops are now hunting the women, who are believed to be between the ages of 18 and 25.  (read more)
