The games continue.
Last month Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington gave the Internal Revenue Service exactly a month -until Aug. 10- to file a report, which he demanded as part of a lawsuit from a conservative watchdog, Judicial Watch, against the agency.
Judge Sullivan said the inspector general’s investigation shouldn’t stop the IRS from detailing under oath what happened to Lerner’s emails.   The contention, at the heart of the matter, is the missing “emails” that Lerner sent and/or received during the time conservative groups were being targeted by the IRS.
The goal of the Judge was to provide relief for Judicial Watch in the form of pinning down the IRS to explain how they lost, and were unable to recover, over a year of internal emails from Ms. Lerner.   Again, the specific goal was forcing the IRS to outline the missing “emails”.
Yesterday, at the last possible minute, the IRS responded. (more…)

As Jim Hoft notes:  The protest Tuesday is being sponsored by a who’s who of radical far left organizations including: the Tauheed Youth Organization, Organization for Black Struggle (a pro-Hamas group), New Black Panther Party (NBPP), Moorish Science Temple, Nation of Islam – Mosque 28, and the Universal African Peoples Organization (UAPO).

Put this into the memory file that holds evidence of why the White House was so totally disconnected when they decided to arm Libyan and Syrian al-Qaeda rebels in 2011.
Here’s John Brennan in June of 2011 about three months after the White House began arming the Libyan “rebels”:

“Our strategy is…shaped by a deeper understanding of al Qaeda’s goals, strategy, and tactics.  I’m not talking about al Qaeda’s grandiose vision of global domination through a violent Islamic caliphate.  That vision is absurd, and we are not going to organize our counterterrorism policies against a feckless delusion that is never going to happen. We are not going to elevate these thugs and their murderous aspirations into something larger than they are.”
~John Brennan, White House Senior Advisor to The President (for counterterrorism and national security) June 29th 2011

First, let me clearly state our severe aversion to engaging in following another exhibition of the professional playbook for racial exploitation.   However, that said, for those who do choose to follow the path we can outline the expectation. Remember, for Benjamin Crump this is a business proposition – that’s why he was the one to contact Brown’s family:

While details, specific details, of the Ferguson Missouri shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, aka Mike Brown, are unknown; what is exceptionally well known is how the Benjamin Crump team will play out the narrative.

We’ll use the Trayvon Martin historical example to show how it rolls.  When you engage the Parks and Crump strategy you can anticipate a specific formula: (more…)

The leftist media are a parody unto themselves when it comes to exploiting any opportunity for racial viewership.   Ronan Farrow is the modern cultural icon for a couldn’t-be-more-white pundit to espouse his street thug credibility.  He knows him some racism.

Liberalism is fundamentally comical when witnessed.  These Farrow-types are the same people who railed against a cheerleader/hunter pictured with a dead lion in Africa – Yet oddly lose their voice when confronted with seven-year-old ISIL jihadist pictured proudly holding a severed human head.

(Via Mediaite) MSNBC host Ronan Farrow understands the enormously disparate scrutiny faced by black men for their public appearance or behavior because his mother, actress Mia Farrow, has an adoptive black son.
During a Monday afternoon segment discussing the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, guest Jonathan Capehart suggested that black men have to go extra lengths to ensure their safety in public.

“Don’t run in public,” he said. “Don’t run with anything in your hands. Keep a discreet distance away from white women, lest you get accused of any number of things.” His larger point being that a black male looking and talking a certain way in public could lead to unwanted assumptions or trouble, more so than any other race.

Only in a state where the official government position is to value the parasite more than the host, can you find this level of moonbattery logic.  

(CNSNews.com) – Giving what was dubbed the “California Welcome,” Gov. Jerry Brown told attendees at the 31st Annual National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Conference in June that affluent families seemed to not be “producing” children in the state.
“I don’t know what the affluent families are doing,” Brown said. “They’re not producing or something, because half the kids in schools are from low-income families.”
At the conference, held in San Diego, Calif., in late June, Brown said California had addressed the fact that millions of children in the state’s school do not speak English.
“You have to do more to be able to create that opportunity and that pathway for those families that are not having that same skill of speaking English as others,” Brown said.
“In California, out of six million students, two million are designated English-language learners, and that means extra money for that school, as well as for low-income families, and that’s about half the students in California,” Brown said.
“It’s pretty amazing,” Brown said. “I don’t know what the affluent families are doing.
“They’re not producing or something, because half the kids in schools are from low-income families,” Brown said.
Brown also spoke about immigration and “brown power.”
“Yeah, there’s a border, but there’s something bigger,” Brown said.
“And that is the human family,” said Brown, adding that California works with other countries on issues ranging from trade to climate change.  (read more)

Considering Recep Erdogan is President Obama’s primary best friend at any of the G-20 events, the latest developments have, well, a particular familiarity to them.  Read on…

TURKEY – Transfixed by the chaos engulfing swathes of the Middle East, it is no surprise that the West has not given Turkey’s first direct presidential election the attention it merits – and would have received in more peaceable times. This is a pity because the tectonic plates are shifting fast in the country, which is a crucial link between East and West, and the changes may be both permanent and troubling.

Looks like they are going THE FULL TRAYVON Playbook.

Benjamin Crump RETAINED !!

In response to the shooting of Michael Brown, and with full support of the leftist provocateur media, the riots start in Ferguson:

Dozens of police cars and cops in riot gear are gathering at the Target just south of the protest. This could get ugly very soon…

NBC TUCSON, Arizona – A cattle-ranching couple in southern Arizona hopes that dramatic hidden-camera video showing suspected drug or immigrant smugglers crossing their property will help persuade federal officials to shift resources southward to eliminate what they call a dangerous “no-man’s land” along the border.

“It just confirmed what we already knew,” Jim Chilton, who runs the 50,000-acre ranch with his wife, Sue, said of the video, which was filmed this spring by a border-security advocacy group. …“We have ceded to the cartels 20 miles, 30 miles inside the United States.”

For years, the Chiltons have publicly complained — even testified before Congress — that their ranch southwest of Tucson, which shares a 5-1/2-mile border with Mexico, has been flooded with smugglers. They’ve told of surprise encounters with groups of migrants – some of them armed –- break-ins at their home and finding piles of trash and clothing left by the trespassers.

But they hope the new video footage will help others understand what they are up against. (more…)
