I doubt we will see the update to the story mentioned in the mainstream media the same way they jumped full bore to tell it when they thought it was true….
NEW JERSEY – A New Jersey waitress who raked in thousands in donations after claiming a couple didn’t tip her because she’s gay was fired from her job on Saturday.
Dayna Morales, 22, was finally canned from Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater — nearly a month after she made national headlines over what’s likely a hoax.
The restaurant announced her termination on Facebook Saturday shortly after it was revealed she was returning donations from supporters across the world.
“In light of … recent events, both Ms. Morales and Gallop Asian Bistro have made a joint decision that Ms. Morales will no longer continue her employment at our restaurant,” the eatery wrote. “We wish her well in the future.” (more…)

I really wanted to hunker down and ride it out.  But the insufferable propaganda around the death of Nelson Mandela is too much to ignore. Rather than deconstruct all of these ridiculous liberal CNN-isms and talking points, let’s just cut it down to brass tacks and stick to historical facts.
Apartheid as a political structure in South Africa was bad. Oppression under any guise is always wrong.
But with Apartheid you must step back to the geo-political map of 1976-1990 and evaluate the alternatives.
A bunch of stuff happened between the fall of the Shah of Iran and the collapse of the Berlin Wall / Soviet Empire which framed the backdrop for U.S. political discussion and eventual activity in South Africa.
Namely, for those of us who were actually engaged in the fight, the last big push of desperate Communist expansion was underway.  (more…)

Last month in Lunenburg Massachusetts a bi-racial family claimed they were victims of racist attacks against their son.    The story gained massive media attention and was highlighted on CNN with Anderson Cooper’s AC360 show.
The claim (outlined in this video) was made against the backdrop of a white mother and black father claiming their bi-racial son was discriminated against on his football team and subjected to racist epithets.  To boost their claim they pointed to graffiti being spray painted on the side of their home, and they accused the football team of doing it.   The team coach took the accusation seriously and cancelled all football games until the suspect could be identified and arrested.

This launched a sympathetic “Hate Crimes” investigation which drew in the local police, the state police and the FBI.    Now, according to leaks within law enforcement, it was all a ruse.    The mother of the teen son spray painted her own house and is about to be busted by the FBI. (more…)

Expect to see a celebration of communism take place at the National Cathedral in Washington DC!

Apartheid, as a political structure, was wrong.  Oppression is always wrong.  It is antithetical to Freedom.   However, as much as Apartheid was antithetical to freedom of the majority – so to is Mob Democracy antithetical to freedom of the minority.

NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE:   The left needs a boost in the U.S.   Their progressive ideological systems, and subsequent sales pitches, are fraying under the now visible weight of consequence – most notably with Obamacare.
Expect to see a significant attempt to *use* the death of Nelson Mandela to pump up the associated progressive causes; the Che Guevara of Africa.
The claims of victimization, inherent in the ideological goals of the progressive left, need emotional boost to maintain their disconnect from the sunlight of actual and truthful consequence.     Nelson Mandela’s death presents an opportunity to return to the use of emotionally connected Cultural Marxism to advance their cause.
It will be large, it will be massive, it will be substantial – and it will take place using the full weight of the progressive left, the professional grievance industry, labor unions, socialists, communists, marxists and all forms of radical left-wing ideology. (more…)

Wisconsin is one of those really progressive regions where the media talking about Black on White violence is strongly discouraged.  
Wisconsin is also the state which brought forth the collegiate “White Guilt” classes.
(PennLive) – With his blackened eyes and broken nose, Tim Bessette may just be the country’s latest victim of an urban crime wave known as the “knockout game.” Speaking from his hospital bed in Milwaukee this week, the 53-year-old says he’s lucky to be alive.

He remembers getting off the bus, walking down the street and encountering four youths. The next thing Bessette knew, he was sucker-punched in the nose. The world went black, and Bessette woke up on the pavement. And as he did, he heard the youths running away, joking and laughing. (more…)

BOSTON –  President Obama acknowledged on Thursday that he lived with his Kenyan uncle for a brief period in the 1980s while preparing to attend Harvard Law School, contradicting a statement more than a year ago that the White House had no record of the two ever meeting.

Their relationship came into question on Tuesday at the deportation hearing of his uncle, Onyango Obama, in Boston immigration court. His uncle had lived in the United States illegally since the 1970s and revealed in testimony for the first time that his famous nephew had stayed at his Cambridge apartment for about three weeks. At the time, Onyango Obama was here illegally and fighting deportation.
On Thursday, a White House official said the press office [Robert Gibbs] had not fully researched the relationship between the president and his uncle before telling the Globe that they had no record of the two meeting. This time, the press office [Jay Carney] asked the president directly, which they had not done in 2011.  (link)

As you review this latest revelation, think about the profound irony/hypocrisy behind an administration so heavy with regulation upon business, banking and economic sector activity – that now advocates for the entire financial reimbursement network behind the Healthcare system to run on “estimations”, “probabilities” and the “honor system”.
Why? Because this is a politically needed solution.  Not policy, POLITICS.

President Obama administration and HHS have no structural way established to track the financing and payments within the ObamaCare system. So their solution is to let the insurance companies “estimate” how much coverage costs, taxpayers will then give them a check for that amount, and then later -at some undisclosed time- they’ll “try” and reconcile the books. It’s the “honor system”.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong.

Talk about being on the wrong side of the American People….  Sheeesh, it’s no wonder there was no public audience today for President Obama’s Pro-ObamaCare speech.   Watch the video below for President Obama’s position and assertions.   The claps you hear are from the White House staff.

 “we’re not going back.” -PERIOD- “If you’ve got good ideas, bring them to me, let’s go.” -PERIOD-   “But we’re not repealing it as long as I’m president.” -PERIOD- (link)

Then contrast his position with a Rasmussen Poll released at the exact same time.  D’oh.
(Rasmussen Report)  Voters overwhelmingly want to change or repeal the new national health care law. One-out-of-two want to scrap it completely and start over again.
Given the problems associated with the law, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Congress and the president should repeal it and start again from the beginning.  That’s up from 43% support in late October.
Another 31% think Congress and the president should go through the law piece by piece to improve it.
Just 16% want to leave the law the way it is, down slightly from 18% four weeks ago.  (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This is really over-the-top.    If you think anti-Semitism does not infect the highest reaches of all political offices this will essentially set you straight.   This is MUST READ stuff:
 Pam Geller and Robert Spencer are heroes of uncompromising magnitude.  They have educated millions of people on the intents and purposes of radical Islam.  While doing so they have held a spotlight on Culturally Marxist (Politically correct) infection that always accompanies such discussions.   As a consequence of their effectiveness they have been banned from travel to Great Britain.  So they began to send in records requests to find out what the official U.K state reasoning is behind their restrictions.  The “Official” records they have uncovered within Great Britain outline their visible support for the state of Israel is a reason for their being banned.   

( Pam Geller Writes )  The British government tried to cover its tracks. But a new cache  of documents Robert Spencer and I have received in our battle to overturn our  being banned from Britain reveal that a chief reason why we were banned from the  country was because we strongly support Israel.

As part of our lawsuit against  the Queen of England and the Home Secretary et al, we have received numerous  documents between the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Office of Security  and Counterterrorism, and the Home Secretary. In one of them, an official in the  Foreign & Commonwealth Office whose name was redacted wrote this letter on  May 7 to a recipient whose name was also redacted: (more…)
