(Via NBC News)  When Marie was two years old, a woman in her village in Africa cut off her clitoris and labia. Now 34 and living thousands of miles away in New York, she is still suffering.
“I have so many problems, with my husband, with sex, with childbirth,” she told NBC News, withholding her real name to protect her identity. “The consequences on my life are all negative, both physically and psychologically.”
The practice of Female Genital Mutilation is common across much of Africa, where it is believed to ensure sexual purity before marriage. But Marie says FGM is also “very common” in some communities in America.
“The pressure to get daughters cut is great,” she said.

Last weekend the Police in/around Louisville Kentucky were caught off guard when over 200 black teen/young adults went on a series of crime sprees simultaneously.   Law enforcement lost control and could not respond to the shear scope of dozens of attacks and flash mob n’ robs that were happening around the city.   We shared the stories and videos of the attacks HERE and HERE.
Law Enforcement, and the media, went out of their way to avoid describing the profile of exactly who was involved.  All of the rampaging teens were black.    However, the police are quickly finding its impossible to deal with the issue without actually identifying the perpetrators of the unlawful activity.   And apparently this has been going on for much longer than they were initially willing to admit:

(LOUISVILLE) — Police say a crime wave terrorizing apartment complex dwellers city wide appears to be connected to the same gang of criminals. Masked armed robbers have terrorized at least 40 victims and police say they have no suspects and only a few leads. WAVE 3 Investigator James Zambroski reports.
The spree of armed robberies has been going on since February.  At least 40 victims have been identified, including two people who were shot and two who were victims of sexual assault over the weekend. (more…)

The construction of new bleachers by the parents created a ‘disparate impact’ upon a federally protected class, “women” (gender).   The female softball players were discriminated against because the parents of the boy’s baseball team only purchased bleachers for their side.    

MICHIGAN – The U.S Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights has forced a school in Michigan to tear down a brand-new set of bleachers for its boys’ varsity baseball team because the new seating is nicer than the girls’ softball bleachers.
The raised seating deck for the boys’ baseball team, which was paid for with money raised by parents, was put in place because fans who’d come to watch games at Plymouth High School in Canton, Mich., were having a hard time seeing the game through the chain-link fence WJBK-TV reported.
The parents installed the new bleachers themselves and even added a new scoreboard to the field, the station reported. (more…)

Before you watch this video I’d like to take you back to 2005 “Fields VS Palmdale School District“:

Parents and politicians alike were shocked when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Nov. 2 that parents’ fundamental right to control the upbringing of their children “does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door,” and that a public school has the right to provide its students with “whatever information it wishes to provide, sexual or otherwise.”

The court went on to clarify:

“Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed.”  (link)

So now in MISSOURI – Kimball described different instances where she, and others, were warned about speaking out.

“In a professional development meeting, um, inservice in November, and at a faculty meeting in January, we were told in my building, and I quote, ‘Be careful about what you post on Facebook, or talk about in the public regarding Common Core. Don’t say anything negative. It could affect your job.’”

Despite others being intimidated into silence, Kimball continued to speak out. (more…)

(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”:

“HOODIES UP” !

A Full Court PR Press is going on in Louisville Kentucky as the police department try to assure the general public they can stop the rampaging mobs of over 200 thugs which have taken control of the community.
The desperation within the voice of the police chief is palpable.   Pulling together black community activists he tried to reassure a business community seeing cancellations of events previously planned.   A community activist proclaims:

“We have young people who are out of control and we’ve got to deal with that. This is not a race issue, this is a problem with the young people in the community.”

The only problem with his statement is that only black youth are on the rampage….. Lootings, stabbings and random attacks are part of the ongoing flash mob n’ rob. 

(Kentucky)  Community leaders and city officials are trying to make sure that an outbreak of violence similar to what occurred this past weekend doesn’t happen again.
Police responded to several assaults and robberies throughout downtown Saturday night. LMPD Chief Steve Conrad says 10 people were attacked by teens who gathered to remember a stabbing victim.
“We take this personal. We are going to hold people accountable for their behaviors,” said Conrad.

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.

… yes, he actually said that.
While presenting himself as the magnanimous leader of Planet Earth, Dear Leader accepts “a Question” from the grand gallery of swooning ‘Yes We Canners’:

In a horrifyingly embarrassing exercise, Dear Leader rambles in non-answer nonsense for several minutes, sounding completely incoherent.
Then opines Russia is “more isolated” because of its strength. Dear Leader dispatches Russia as a “regional power”, threatening its neighbors out of “weakness”:

“I’m more worried about a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan”

Meanwhile the planetary healer -and bringer of all light- has been helping to arm those who intend harm upon his representative:

(Via YNet) Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that he doesn’t support the Palestinian-led “boycott, divest, sanction” campaign against Israel but said products made in Palestinian territories should be clearly labeled so buyers can make a choice about them.
Carter told The Associated Press in an interview that he and the other retired senior leaders known as the “Elders” recently discussed the economic pressure campaign against Israeli presence in the West Bank. The Elders group was formed by Nelson Mandela in 2007, and includes senior and retired leaders who work together on peace-building and humanitarian initiatives.
“We decided not to publicly endorse any kind of embargo, or so forth, against Israeli invasion, or occupying troops in Palestine,” Carter said.
