Maybe they should pass some strict gun control laws or something.   No, wha… wait.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It was a violent night in New York City after at least 13 people were shot in incidents spanning each of the five boroughs.
As CBS 2′s Janelle Burrell reported, one of the shootings happened on Staten Island, where a man is fighting for his life after being shot in the face.
The incident happened at around 3:30 a.m. on Amboy Road in the New Dorp section of Staten Island.  Police were still on the scene Sunday morning collecting and processing evidence, including a backpack that belonged to the 42-year-old victim.
[…] Neighbors also said the victim only moved to the area a few months ago with his wife and son. (more…)

THE SETUP – The original victim claim was a family asked to leave Kentucky Fried Chicken -by a KFC employee- because a heavily scarred youngster was scaring the other customers.  KFC apologized and offered $30k, a sympathy fundraising effort raised over $135k, now a local reporter exposes the entire event as a hoax…  HatTip MoonBattery
MISSISSIPPI – The story of a three-year-old girl who was asked to leave a KFC because her dog attack scars were scaring the other customers has been accused of being a hoax.
Kelly Mullins, the grandmother of Victoria Wilcher, who was left with severe facial injuries after being attacked by her grandfather’s pitpulls, claimed KFC staff at a branch in Jackson, Mississippi, asked them to take the three-year-old out of the fast food restaurant because her appearance was putting the other customers off.
Following outcry over the incident, KFC apologized and pledged $30,000 to help pay the medical bills for Victoria, who had lost her right eye as well as suffering a broken upper and lower jaw, nose and cheek during the attack. (more…)

Now the question becomes… if the board appointments were illegal, then what happens to all those NLRB rules -2 years worth- that have been instituted since the Labor Board Members were unconstitutionally appointed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has limited a president’s power to make temporary appointments to fill high-level government jobs.
The court said Thursday that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he invoked the Constitution’s provision on recess appointments to fill slots on the National Labor Relations Board in 2012.
The justices said in their first-ever consideration of the Constitution’s recess appointments clause that Congress gets to decide when it is in recess and that there was no recess when Obama acted. The president said he made the appointments in the face of Republican refusal to allow the NLRB to function.  (read more)

WASHINGTON DC – The White House announced $254.6 million in new aid for Central American countries today.

The money will go toward returning unaccompanied minors who travel to the U.S. illegally to their families and fostering youth centered programs in their home countries, the White House said this afternoon.

The assistance to the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras announced today is in addition to the $130 million in aid the U.S. already provides those countries in economic assistance.
The U.S. has also decided to begin detaining families at the border instead of giving them court dates and releasing them. (more…)

Like Victim #22, Victim #23 is fortunate enough to have a police department willing to admit this was a pre-planned Knock Out Assault (though they still call it a “game”).

Video in link with victim interview as he awaits facial reconstruction surgery and also an interview with police investigators.

MICHIGAN – Ferndale (WXYZ) – The “knock-out game” has been making headlines across the country.  It is a “game” where someone tries to knock out an innocent stranger with one punch.
Now, Ferndale Police are investigating whether that is what lead to an attack on a man walking along Woodward Avenue.
It happened just before midnight on Sunday night as Edward Ewing walked across Wordsworth Street.  He had just stopped at White Castle for a bite to eat and was walking home.  He saw two men walking toward him.
“Was just going home,” said Ewing.  “Next thing I know I am sucker punched.”
The punch knocked Ewing out.  He suffered a concussion, broken jaw, chipped teeth, cuts, and bruises.   (more…)

….Or they correctly identified the Brotherhood risks and chose to engage with them because of it;  it depends on how you look at these discoveries.

To contextualize this information, and understand why it’s all important, remember – you can replace the label “Libyan Muslim Brotherhood” (LMB) with the familiar term from Obama/Clinton talking points in 2011, “rebels”.

Remember, back in 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was continually saying “we’re not sure who these rebels are“.  She said they were continuing to try and identify their ideology.   What these FOIA Documents reveal is that both President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton knew *EXACTLY* who the “rebels” were when they chose to support them.

You know something… I bet Michelle Obama actually believes this stuff.   It’s probably the water-cooler conversation around the liberal indoctrination centers because they don’t actually study history, they interpret it.    Ergo “the Constitution” is an evolving document.   The reality is all but three of the Declaration of Independence signatories were born in America.
WASHINGTON DC – First Lady Michelle Obama reminded attendees of a naturalization ceremony Wednesday that the Founding Fathers weren’t born in America.
The ceremony for 50 new U.S. citizens was held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
“It’s amazing that just a few feet from here where I’m standing are the signatures of the 56 Founders who put their names on a Declaration that changed the course of history,” she said during her speech, referring to the Declaration of Independence. “And like the 50 of you, none of them were born American – they became American.”
Obama pointed out that the Founding Fathers pledged their lives and risked everything to create the United States of America after signing the Declaration of Independence. (read more)

You might remember this from an earlier article.   After an extensive public corruption sting operation in Philadelphia, targeting both Republicans and Democrats, the District Attorney decided not to prosecute anyone because only the Democrat politicians -who happened to be black- were accepting bribes:

Pennsylvania Corruption Sting Shut Down Because Only Black Democrats Were Accepting Bribes…. The Democrats Suffered “Disparate Impact”, Ergo The Sting Operation Had To Be Stopped.

“Sources with knowledge of the sting said the investigation made financial pitches to both Republicans and Democrats, but only Democrats accepted the payments.”

The DA did not want to be accused of being racist, or to be perceived as having racist intentions, so they dropped the investigation.  Now….
PHILADELPHIA –  Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams on Wednesday announced he has launched a grand-jury investigation into the aborted sting probe that captured five Philadelphia Democrats on tape accepting money or gifts but ended with no charges filed.
Williams said his renewed investigation was already under way and would be completed in “months, not years.” (more…)

Yesterday, it was announced the Obama administration had moved on Sunday to arrest a Benghazi al-Qaeda leader Ahmed Abu Khattala.   Many people, including Fox’s James Rosen pointed particular questions to the State Dept. about “why now”?

As unbelievable as this might sound, the most likely answer has little to do with what’s currently being pondered as a motive for this administration, “squirrel”.    The reality is within the Bergdahl deal, and the GITMO-5 to Qatar, there is a far more likely reason.
Ahmed Abu Khattala is directly connected to the covert transfer of U.S. arms from Qatar to Libya in the initial 2011 decision to arm the Benghazi “rebels”.
Against the backdrop of recent discoveries about Qatar giving some of the aforementioned arms, specifically stinger missiles, to the Taliban in Afghanistan – Khattala became a risk of exposure to the White House.
They needed to throw a bag over him.
Bear with me through the complexity and I’ll outline the events with all citations included for reference.
On March 30th 2011 Reuters News Agency reported that President Obama had already signed a secret order authorizing the CIA to provide covert support to the Libyan opposition, an operation that would become known as “Zero Footprint”.

2011- U.S. officials also have said that Saudi Arabia and Qatar, whose leaders despise Gaddafi, have indicated a willingness to supply Libyan rebels with weapons. (link)

Ultimately a joint decision between the State Department (Hillary Clinton) and CIA (Leon Panetta) [*Note General David Petraeus did not take the position until Sept 2011] was reached to use friendly nations as cover for direct shipment of U.S. arms into Libya as part of Operation Zero Footprint.

If you’ve been wondering why the progressive side of the political continuum have been a little soft on the terror group ISIS in Syria/Iran, you only need to look at what they do when ISIS takes control of a municipality.
A strong argument can be made that ISIS leaders are merely Mid-east variants of Bloomberg, Clinton and Obama type progressives.

• Nanny Statist Bloomberg wants laws to ban soda freedom to advance physical health;   Nanny ISIS invokes strict non-alcohol laws to advance physical health.

• Nanny Statist Michelle Obama want laws to control school lunch menus for the health of the collective;  Nanny ISIS invokes strict no-smoking laws for the health of the collective.
