Treon Johnson, is the star of some backyard fighting videos.  Videos that are about to be a part of a documentary on the blood sport.  He died in police custody after neighbors claimed he was beating a dog to death with a metal pipe.   He jumped onto the roof.  The Police used pepper spray and a taser to subdue him.   

Yet the media, wait for it,…. are showing pictures of  “Tre” Johnson as a young lad in a tuxedo…..   Because using one of the several previous mug shots would be too difficult I guess.  Sound familiar ?

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. –  The family of a man suspected of abusing dogs wants to know what led to his mysterious death.

Here’s a clue for ya’, he was beating a dog with a pipe after the completion of filming his latest documentary on “back yard fighting”,… DUH…. /SD

Treon Johnson died just hours after being taken into custody Thursday.  Hialeah police said a 911 caller claimed the 27-year-old man jumped into the backyard of his home and was beating his dog with a metal pipe. Witnesses told police Johnson then jumped into a neighboring yard and began beating another dog with a pipe.  (read more with wonderful NBC video of young misunderstood tuxedo wearing sweetie set to the music of violin concertos )
Here’s a more “realistic” portrayal: (more…)

Within the Sun Sentinel article you find the following:
[…]  He was acquitted of second-degree murder in July by a Seminole County jury.
At a hearing Feb. 6, Zimmerman attorney Lorna Truett was unable to say conclusively whether the criminal case was over. There was one major official pending issue: a motion by Zimmerman’s criminal attorneys to sanction prosecutors.
But two weeks ago, Zimmerman filed paperwork, saying he wanted to dismiss that motion and stop that fight.
In the civil case, Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson lifted the stay at the request of all the parties.  (link)

Trayvon Martin was not an end, he was a beginning to an end. His death was a useful tool at a specific moment in time.  The actual goal was established long before George and Trayvon encountered each other.

Affirmative Action had run its natural course. Doors had opened and what began as an extension of the Civil Rights movement was no longer a useful tool for social engineering.
Equality in opportunity (Affirmative Action) had long been established. What was now needed was a progressive evolution to equality in outcome; enter “Disparate Impact” to take its place.
The entire construct of all the various alliances which sought benefit from using the Trayvon Martin shooting had one thing in common – the goal of social justice through equal outcomes. Zimmerman himself was irrelevant, merely a face/name to replace the worn out mantra of “the man”.
In the 60’s the Civil Rights Act was established to legislate equal opportunity. In the 70’s and 80’s Affirmative Action, or broadly “quota systems”, were put into place to leverage a social-equity in organizational entry. Through the 90’s and early part of the 21st century various studies were conducted to insure the entry opportunity was fundamentally well established. The entry was there, but for the social scientists the problem shifted to the “outcomes”. The outcomes were simply not matching the opportunities. (more…)

This story explains why the President Obama administration consider the back-story of Trayvon Martin’s criminal engagements to be a risk.

WASHINGTON DC – The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division says the “next generation” of civil rights challenges includes addressing racial disparities in school discipline; defending the rights of LGBT Americans; combating discrimination in housing and in lending; protecting women from sexual assault and harassment; ensuring the fair treatment of youth in the juvenile justice system; and defending the right to vote in the 21st Century.
“In recent months, the Civil Rights Division has reached landmark consent decrees involving each of these issues,” Jocelyn Samuels, the acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, told a civil rights symposium in Indianapolis on Tuesday. (more…)

I’ve been wondering why our latest FOIA request is hitting an unusually obtuse Miami-Dade School void…. Now, things begin to make a little more sense:

President and first lady go to Miami area for education event tomorrow, and had planned to stay for family weekend in south Florida.

As I’ve said before, numerous times, the political risk in the M-DSPD story is quite large. A single pesky unkempt thread capable of unraveling the story of a much larger systemic construct.

Update below (more…)

 WASHINGTON DC – A leading US senator has said that President Obama knew of an “unprecedented action” taken by the CIA against the Senate intelligence committee, which has apparently prompted an inspector general’s inquiry at Langley.

The subtle reference in a Tuesday letter from Senator Mark Udall to Obama, seeking to enlist the president’s help in declassifying a 6,300-page inquiry by the committee into torture carried out by CIA interrogators after 9/11, threatens to plunge the White House into a battle between the agency and its Senate overseers.

Trying desperately to take advantage of a media cycle filled with all things Ukrainian – John Podesta smooth’s White House agenda under the radar…..  What the administration is trying to do is keep an electorate from feeling the consequences of Obamacare and trying to retain power despite it…. 

(Washington Examiner) – The Obama administration announced Wednesday that it would allow insurers to keep until October 2016 health plans that do not meet Obamacare regulations, pushing back another Affordable Care Act deadline well past November’s midterms.

Facing the prospect of another wave of cancellation notices this fall, the administration took even further action to mitigate the blowback from President Obama’s broken promise that all Americans could keep their health care plans under Obamacare.

The Department of Health and Human Services had already given insurers the option of continuing those plans facing cancellation through 2014, and on Wednesday said those policies could remain in effect an additional two years. (more…)

WASHINGTON — A congressional hearing into the furor over political targeting by the Internal Revenue Service descended into political theater of the absurd Wednesday, as the former IRS official at the heart of the case again asserted her Fifth Amendment rights and refused to answer questions.

Lois Lerner, the former director of Tax-Exempt Organizations for the IRS, led the division that oversaw the staffers responsible for making sure that so-called social welfare groups were not going out of bounds with their political activities. (more…)

There is a storm cloud looming on the horizon – Shades Of Waco TX.

( Via BLAZE )Now that tens of thousands of gun owners in Connecticut are in direct violation of a hastily-passed gun control law, a video of a fed-up Navy veteran warning lawmakers that he “will not comply” with the law is just going viral.

As previously reported by TheBlaze, as many as 100,000 gun owners technically became felons overnight because they chose not to register their semi-automatic rifles and/or high-capacity magazines.

A man, identified as John S. Cinque, reportedly appeared at a public meeting in North Haven, Conn., on April 22, 2013, to confront lawmakers over the gun control law.

Cinque started by asking if the bill would have done anything to prevent the tragic Sandy Hook shooting. Eventually, Connecticut State Rep. David Yaccarino (R) replied, “maybe not.”  (read more)

Why?  That’s the primary question.   The Senate has already announced they will not construct a budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2015.  The Senate has already announced their intent to operate under Continuing Resolutions.

Budget Day at the WH tomorrow as Pres Obama's budget plan for FY 2015 is delivered to Congress. Pres speech at local school at 1130am.
