(Via News One)  In the March 31 issue of the New Yorker, Kobe Bryant discussed life, race and the inevitable conclusion of his illustrious basketball career with Ben McGrath.
Perhaps most shocking is Bryant’s assertion that wide-spread support for Trayvon Martin was premature and he refused to show support for the slain teen simply because he’s African American.
According to Colorlines, when McGrath asked Bryant’s opinion on the Miami Heat’s show of solidarity with Martin in the now iconic “Hoodie” photo, the 35-year-old L.A. Laker said that such a move showed lack of “progress”:

Flashback 2012:

Once again @NRA uses lies & distortion to try stopping commonsense #GunControl bill http://t.co/xOIPQzl2 Time to stop mass reloading in #CA.

— Leland Yee (@LelandYee) August 3, 2012

CALIFORNIA – A California state senator has been arrested for promising shoulder-fired automatic weapons and missiles from a Muslim separatist group to an undercover FBI agent in exchange for campaign donations, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
In San Francisco, FBI agents have charged California State Sen. Leland Yee with conspiracy to deal firearms and wire fraud. The allegations were outlined in an FBI affidavit against Yee and 25 others.
The allegations against Yee include a number of favors he requested in exchange for campaign donations, as well as performing “official acts” in exchange for donations to get himself out of a $70,000 debt incurred during a failed San Francisco mayoral bid, according to court documents.

UPDATE @8:00pm:   Cannon Resigns

The YouTube ID of yHrmzLWdJXY?feature=player_embedded is invalid.

Mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested today in Charlotte North Carolina after a multi-year sting operation into bribery and corruption.    However, there is actually a bigger story that will *probably* never reach the MSM headlines – After the article I’ll explain.

NORTH CAROLINA – Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested Wednesday on public corruption charges, with the FBI alleging he took tens of thousands of dollars in bribes – including $20,000 in cash delivered in a briefcase last month to the mayor’s office where he also solicited $1 million more.
In return for the money, trips, hotel rooms and access to a luxury SouthPark apartment, Cannon promised to help agents posing as potential commercial investors with zoning, parking and other city-related issues.
According to officials, Cannon turned himself in to federal marshals after learning of a warrant for his arrest. He was immediately taken before U.S. Magistrate Judge David Keesler of Charlotte.
Cannon, a Democrat, was charged with theft and bribery after the FBI sting operation, said Anne Tompkins, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. He was released on $25,000 unsecured bond, pending indictment, which could come as early as next week. The court file shows Charlotte attorney James Ferguson is representing Cannon.

This article summed up in two words:  “Allahu Akbar” !!
(Via UK Daily Mail) The pilot of doomed flight MH370 was devastated over his wife’s decision to move out of their family home, and could have taken the plane for a ‘last joyride’ before it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean killing all 239 people on board, says a long-time friend of the pilot.

The friend, also a pilot, said Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah didn’t appear to be in the right state of mind to be flying, warning that it was ‘very possible that neither the passengers nor the other crew on-board knew what was happening until it was too late’.

History is replete with the failures of man, it highlights his cruelty, his desires, and often reveals his true nature no matter what social or moral standards have been established.
In 1895 the English author H. G. Wells laid out the exact template for how The United States would be overtaken by a brutal enemy that is completely malicious and incapable of mercy. Decades later in 1938 the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, directed and narrated by actor and filmmaker Orson Welles, put that sordid template into action.
While I don’t know if H. G. or Orson were communists, nor do I care, the template and plan of attack is the focus not their personal philosophies. With only the spoken and written word both convinced a nation that is was being overtaken by a foreign invader that sought their complete subjugation. The same holds true today, but it’s done in soundbites, and digital form with far greater speed and reach.

Rumor has it that President Obama may announce new guidelines to the NSA phone data collection.

On January 3rd (2014) Senator Rand Paul filed a lawsuit against the NSA for gathering all phone data as part of their domestic surveillance program.
Leaks from inside administration officials (probably “Skippy” Panetta) are alluding to a soon to be announced policy change of Dear Leader.    The change will possibly outline that the NSA is no longer permitted to capture all phone/data records and they will be held outside the government within the operational structures of the telecom network.
The NSA will then have to get a judicial order approved prior to requesting the data from the phone companies.

The Malaysian authorities are seemingly incapable of confronting the severity of the issues which would surround the disappearance of flight 370.    Western media, trapped inside the zone of political correctness, are unwilling to dig through the obfuscation.

Islam and Radical Muslim issues around a hijacking are far too disconcerting for the central Asian authorities to confront.   They just don’t want *that* conversation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — It was the unwelcome, anguishing news that families of the missing had dreaded, and when they heard it from Malaysia’s prime minister Monday night there were shrieks and intense heartbreak: The missing Malaysian Airlines flight whose fate was a mystery that consumed the world had crashed into a remote corner of the Indian Ocean.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak , left, and acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein speak during the press conference for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, MH370

The news, based on fresh evidence gleaned from an unprecedented analysis of satellite data, meant it was all but impossible that any of the 239 passengers and crew on board the jetliner could have survived.

While the initial event highlighted within this video took place March 4th, the subsequent events have been unfolding thereafter.
Mr. Mark Adams was charge with a felony for resisting arrest.  He was arrested, detained and spent 2 nights in the county jail.   His pre-trial court date was March 14th.   The police would not release pre-trial (arraignment) discovery until 90 minutes before his scheduled appearance.   The pre-trial hearing was delayed by the judge after his defense attorney pointed out the police department’s intentional delays and timeline.

A property owner in Bridgeport, Michigan was addressing his grievances at the monthly township board meeting when he went over the 3 minutes allowed for public comment.
At 2:40 into the video you can see when the police go to remove him from the meeting and when he doesn’t comply in a fast enough manner for them, it sounded like they said he was under arrest for disturbing the peace.

The Chamber of Commerce and Tom Donohue, must be funneling a lot of money into Rene Elmer’s campaign.   She is certainly advocating their position(s):

1. Keep ObamaCare intact regardless of what your constituents want.
2. Get Amnesty Legislation passed at all costs.
3. Keep Selling Common Core education to the sheeple masses.

(Via PJ Media)  Yesterday, Ron Woodward of NC Listen reported on a meeting he had with Renee Ellmers on the topic of immigration and amnesty. He claimed he had exited the meeting appalled both by her positions and by her behavior.
One of the constituents attending the meeting recorded the conversation.
The Randolph Tea Party posted the clips online, and exclusively forwarded the links to PJ Media. Four clips of the meeting are embedded below.
At one point, Ellmers says of Woodard: “You don’t have any damn facts.”  (read more)

UNREAL:   They have not interviewed his wife because it’s culturally uncomfortable:

…”It is not considered appropriate in Malaysia to  subject people in situations of terrible bereavement to the stress of intensive  questioning”….

This Muslim ideologue most likely had something to do with 238 people missing, possibly killed, and the Malaysian authorities are worried about the delicate sensibilities of his wife ????  

(Via Daily Mail )The captain of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 received a two-minute call shortly before take-off from a mystery woman using a mobile phone number obtained under a false identity.

It was one of the last calls made to or from the mobile of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah in the hours before his Boeing 777 left Kuala Lumpur 16 days ago.
Investigators are treating it as potentially significant because anyone buying a pay-as-you-go SIM card in Malaysia has to fill out a form giving their identity card or passport number.
Introduced as an anti-terrorism measure following 9/11, this ensures that every number is registered to a traceable person.
But in this case police traced the number to a shop selling SIM cards in Kuala Lumpur. They found that it had been bought ‘very recently’ by someone who gave a woman’s name – but was using a false identity. (more…)
