NEW YORK –  […]  “I hit a lady on the head in self-defense,” Baldwin wrote in a statement to police when asked about the Nov. 7 attack, according to court papers.

The women he attacked were between the ages of 20 and 78, cops have said.

Baldwin made similar written statements about self-defense when investigators asked about his attacks on Dec. 7, Dec. 24, and Dec. 26.

“I was passing by a lady using a phone and I hit her head in self-defense because of the way she looked,” Baldwin wrote of the Dec. 27 attack. (more…)

(Via Rebel Pundit)  […]  “Mr. President, we’d probably be better off if you called off your presidency off right now. Just quit. Because if this is what you call helping us, then stop helping us.”

“His approach always is to place blame on the corporate world. The blame is equal. It’s not the one-percent problem. It’s not the 99% problem. It’s an American problem.”

“You can’t turn this around. Just step down.”

Last night in Chicago, black grassroots activists reacted to President Obama’s State of the Union address at Wallace’s Catfish Corner–and it wasn’t pretty. (more…)

A complete and total FUBAR by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and local Atlanta government.  Thousands of motorists sleep in cars and shops; thousands of students trapped in schools overnight. 

ATLANTA (AP) – Thousands of Atlanta students stranded all night long in their schools were reunited with their parents Wednesday, while rescuers rushed to deliver blankets, food, gas and a ride home to countless shivering motorists stopped cold by a storm that paralyzed the business capital of the South with less than 3 inches of snow.

As National Guardsmen and state troopers fanned out, Mayor Kasim Reed and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal found themselves on the defensive, acknowledging the storm preparations could have been better. But Deal also blamed forecasters, saying he was led to believe it wouldn’t be so bad.

The icy weather wreaked similar havoc across much of the South, closing schools and highways, grounding flights and contributing to at least a dozen deaths from traffic accidents and a mobile home fire.

Yet it was Atlanta, home to major corporations and the world’s busiest airport, that was Exhibit A for how a Southern city could be sent reeling by winter weather that, in the North, might be no more than an inconvenience. (more…)

.. and ends up retreating back to the Tea Party Racist meme from 2010.

Skolnik is actually the third most consistent racist on broadcast television. The first place winner is MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid, then comes Al Sharpton, and right behind him comes Michael Skolnik.

The Question Remains – WHY NO MAINSTREAM U.S. COVERAGE ?

Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resigned on Tuesday in a bid to ease Ukraine’s deadly two-month crisis as lawmakers debated key reforms.

“I have taken a personal decision to ask the president of Ukraine to accept my resignation from the post of prime minister with the aim of creating an additional possibility for a political compromise to peacefully resolve the conflict,” he said in a statement. (link)

Juxtaposition:

President Obama and his administration fully supported and formerly endorsed Egypt’s now deposed President Morsi.

Morsi is on trial for opening the jails, releasing the Muslim Brotherhood members, and for aiding in a jailbreak of convicted terrorists and murderers.

Remember, despite the concerns of the Egyptian people…. Hillary Clinton glowingly endorsed this man.

Go to the :30 moment in the video.   Morsi is behind bars in the courtroom pacing like a wild animal and then as soon as the judicial panel sits down he begins yelling:  “who the hell are you”?  “Do you know what I am”?  “What I will do to you”? (more…)

Ever since Obama took office rumors have been running rampant about the possible seizure of people’s IRA funds…or plainly stated, the government generously helping to manage your retirement savings.  Wait no longer.  Buried towards the end of the following AP report is the following:

… Obama will also announce executive actions on job training, boosting employment opportunities for the long-term unemployed and expanding retirement savings for low- and middle-income Americans.

The retirement savings proposal is geared toward workers whose employers don’t currently offer such plans. The program would allow first-time savers to start building up savings in Treasury bonds that eventually could be converted into traditional IRAs, according to two people who have discussed the proposal with the administration.

Although this isn’t yet the mandatory IRA, it’s certainly a step in that direction.  Remember what they did in Poland?  Don’t worry…I’m sure the government is just trying to protect your retirement account from terrorists.

When the politically correct media quickly drop this story we miss an opportunity to discuss one of the inconvenient truths.  Because the shooter is black there will be no public airing of ‘the motive’ for the shooting.

If the shooter had presented as a white male the media would be urgently seeking attachment to right-wing extremism and/or the Tea Party.

The historical evidence to support this controversial assertion was polished to crystal clear resonance in the Colorado Movie Theater shooting and subsequent *media-thirst* to attach white intent.   The same media ideology toward white motive was present in the 2010 Gabby Giffords shooting.

Victim: Brianna (21)     –     Shooter: Darion (19)     –    Victim: Tyler (25)

But this time the search for motive would involve a black male teenager who appears to have been reacting to spurned romantic advances.   Reacting in a very uncomfortable way to discuss in the media.  Reacting in a way the media desperately avoids talking about.

The first victim shot was a white female, Brianna Benlolo – age 21 and mother of a 2 year-old son, who has been reported to have broken off a relationship with the shooter, Darion Aguilar – age 19. (more…)

COLUMBIA, Md. (AP) — The gunman who killed two people at a Maryland mall was a teenage skateboarding enthusiast who had no criminal record before he showed up at the shopping center armed with a shotgun, plenty of ammunition and a backpack filled with crude homemade explosives, authorities said Sunday.  (link)

Huh?   “a teenage skateboarding enthusiast who had no criminal record“… boy, the media sure seems to be softening this…. gee, I wonder why?…. Hmmm, lemme think…

I wonder if now that he’s been identified you’ll see another story dropped like a hot potato?

Remember the Pennsylvania College shooting from 5 days ago?…  that story vaporized too once the shooter was ID’d.   I’m still trying to figure out what is it specifically about these shootings the media seems to downplay.   Maybe it’s just the media beginning to like guns; or NOT.

Following dramatic failures of the last two singles, “Share The Wealth” and “Income Inequality”, President Lip-Sync announces the catchy new single which has been typed into the teleprompter:

“Ladders of Opportunity”

Whether anyone buys it is yet to be determined – however, the media critics who have heard early snippets say: ‘it’s general sound is a remix heavy on the drum-beat’.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Income inequality is out, “ladders of opportunity” is in.

Eager to dispel claims that President Barack Obama is engaging in “class warfare” as he heads into his State of the Union address next week, the White House is de-emphasizing phrases focusing on economic disparity and turning instead to messages about creating paths of opportunity for the poor and middle class.
