Unbeknownst to Thomas Roberts the organizer of the crowd he describes as “just showing up” was apparently Glenn Beck.
There is a subtle, or not (if you follow closely), narrative being constructed by West Wing script writers. The purpose is to use the Charleston shooting emotion as a race-based protective membrane, shielding President Obama from his visible policy failures.
[Example 1: Highlighting Joe Wilson as the congressman from the district that encompasses Charleston. Example 2: Highlighting people call POTUS an “idiot”.]
(Via Washington Examiner) – He has 18 months left to fulfill his “Yes we can” agenda, but President Obama is frustratingly finding that his supporters have already forgotten what he’s done and even think he’s an “idiot” for not making good on his promise to fix Washington.
In a candid fundraising speech at actor Tyler Perry’s Santa Monica, Calif., home Thursday night, the president expressed his own frustration at not scoring more wins in his two terms, but also aired distress at how quickly some of have forgotten his achievements.
“I got a letter a while back from a gentleman living in Colorado, and clearly an intelligent guy, and he had taken a lot of time to write this letter. And he said, you know, I voted for you twice, but I’m feeling disillusioned,’” Obama said. (more…)
There may have been a time when a discussion about racial issues was possible, but that window of opportunity quickly passed when the professional left decided to double down on division with a professional community organizer.
The professionally black have a vested ideological and financial interest in the retention of grievance. No amount of discussion will overcome or quench the institutional need to be perpetually aggrieved. (Apropos photo-credit Charleston, SC via CBS)
We can agree the shooting in Charleston South Carolina was a hate crime; we can even concede that it might be called terrorism – but that will never change the inherent one-sided nature of the conversation.
Call it whatever you want to call it. Hate Crimes, domestic racial terrorism, it really doesn’t matter. If the labels apply for a white person to intentionally kill a black person solely due to the color of their skin. Then what exactly is this: (more…)
Earlier this week the professionally aggrieved began a campaign against the Louisville Kentucky police department after a deranged man attacked a police officer with a flag pole, and was shot and killed.
The professional agitators began using the same antagonistic activist messaging, “F**k the Police”, as previously used in Ferguson, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Madison, New York, Charlottesville and McKinney, Texas.
The Louisville Kentucky police have had enough. They pen an open letter to the public:
Cincinnati Ohio – Videos showing a chaotic scene between guests and police last week at the Fairfield Aquatic Center continue to fuel debate over what happened before and during the confrontation that led to four arrests and allegations of officers exhibiting excessive use of force. (Original report video below)
Police arrested two adults — Krystal Dixon and Maya Dixon — and two children on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a large fight June 9 at the city-owned pool on Augusta Boulevard. They said the four refused to leave.
Attorney Clyde Bennett, who represented both women at their arraignment Wednesday, said his clients did nothing wrong and that charges against them should be dismissed.
Both women have faced charges of disorderly conduct and/or resisting arrest in other courts, according to records obtained by the Journal-News. (more…)
(Via Daily Mail) The 21-year-old Columbia-area man–who friends describe as a frequent abuser of prescription drugs–was arrested twice this year, Lexington County court records reveal, on charges of trespassing and drug possession.
Roof, who became the focus of a massive manhunt after he fled the church in downtown Charleston, was given a gun by his father as a 21st birthday present in April, his uncle told Reuters on Thursday.
In the hours after the bloodbath, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that tracks hate organizations and extremists, said it was not aware of Roof before the rampage. And some friends said they did not know him to be racist.
‘I never thought he’d do something like this,’ said high school friend Antonio Metze, 19. ‘He had black friends.’ (more…)
White Male, 21 to 25 years old, 5’9″, slim build – The suspect is in his early 20s, 5’9″ in height. “He has on a very distinctive sweatshirt as well as the vehicle, with a very disctintive license plate,” the police chief said. First draft:
The number one objective of everyone in law enforcement should be to catch the mass murder suspect and bring him to trial. As currently described that suspect is: “A 21-year-old, white male, with sandy blonde hair, clean shaven, wearing Timberland boots, jeans and a grey hoodie“. Every resource should be deployed to catch that criminal.
“Every resource” includes the principle that this horrific crime should be treated with the same intensity as the Boston Marathon bombing. Every resource in the arsenal of local, state and federal law enforcement should be immediately dispatched to catch this person, period.
Unfortunately, this horrible event will focus attention in many divergent directions based solely on the current environment permeating the national dialogue; and as a consequence of manipulative activists who relish anxiety to advance their various causes.
For those who have intensely followed the evolution of that manipulation for the past several years, the brutal event in Charleston carries a set of additional aspects which ring immediate alarm bells. Taken individually none of the aspects seem too controversial; however, when you put them together something else begins to assemble.

WASHINGTON—Neil S. Rodgers, a former District of Columbia government official, was sentenced today to a period of incarceration and ordered to pay full restitution on a charge stemming from his role in channeling $110,000 in youth and drug prevention grant funds that were used to pay for an inaugural ball.
[…] According to the government’s evidence, Rodgers aided [Harry] Thomas in illegally securing funds for the 51st State Inaugural Ball, held on Jan. 20, 2009, at the Wilson Building.
“Neil Rodgers worked with former D.C. Council member Harry Thomas to perpetrate a fraud that diverted money from at-risk children to throw a black-tie ball for adults,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Cohen. “His conviction at trial brings to seven the number of people convicted as part of Harry Thomas’s chronic abuse of the public trust.” (more…)
By now an entire nation is aware of the Spokane Washington NAACP President Ms. Rachel Dolezal; and more specifically the controversy of her self-identification as black despite her ethnicity clearly being white.
Last night Dolezal even when so far as to begin proposing that her white Anglo-parents couldn’t prove she was actually their daughter. She seems so strongly committed to her position as a black woman she is even willing to go so far as to call her parents liars:
[…] “I haven’t had a DNA test. There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents,” Dolezal said in an appearance on “NBC Nightly News.”
“There’s a birth certificate that has your name on it and their names on it,” interviewer Savannah Guthrie responded.
“I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not,” Dolezal said. “But I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean, the birth certificate is issued a month and a half after I’m born. And certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth.” (link)
However, lost amid all of the black and white cultural discussion of her ethnicity is the more serious issue of Dolezal previously claiming numerous death threats against her while head of the Spokane NAACP chapter.
At the end of February this year, Dolezal claimed to have received packages containing documents outlining death threats against her. It was reported locally in the Spokane media, as KREM2 shared the story early in March. (more…)
