(Newsbusters) Lest there be any doubt, Amanda Marcotte really hates pro-lifers.
In a two-part rant posted March 14 and 17 on Raw Story, the morally challenged feminist writer attacked pro-lifers as “consummate liars,” “anti-choice kooks” with “boring,” “half-baked nonsense” and “shit arguments.”
But Marcotte’s hate doesn’t stop at pro-lifers. It extends to the babies they want to protect.

“Either way, what she [the woman] wants trumps the non-existent desires of a mindless pre-person that is so small it can be removed in about two minutes during an outpatient procedure. Your cavities fight harder to stay in place.”

Did she just compare an unborn child to a cavity?  (more…)

The only thing the aggrieved New York Minorities have to do to get a windfall of money is show that they took the FDNY service exam.  Hizzoner claims it was racist to make firefighter applicants take a written test, since Blacks and Hispanics do not perform as well as whites and Asians on academic tests.   Ergo competency tests present a “disparate impact”.
DeBlasio is taking $98 million of taxpayer funds and redistributing it to blacks and Hispanics as “back pay” for work they never did, for a job they were never qualified for.  While simultaneously announcing that he is creating new positions in the FDNY that will solely exist to ensure that blacks and Hispanics do not have to pass the same intelligence and competency exams as Whites and non-minorities.
NEW YORK  – The de Blasio Administration today announced an agreement to settle the 2007 Vulcan Society’s lawsuit against the City of New York over two civil service exams found to be discriminatory against African American and Hispanic applicants.
The City has agreed to pay approximately $98 million in back pay and benefits to African American and Hispanic firefighter applicants who took two civil service exams in 1999 and 2002, and will implement additional reforms in the FDNY’s recruiting policies in an effort to further diversify the ranks of the organization to make them more representative of the city’s population.

When historians look back on the Obama presidency one thing will be certain, his supporters, and those who voted for him, were oblivious idiots.    This latest discovery –THE GREG MEMO– shows after taking office President Obama penned an immediate executive order to essentially re-write the Freedom of Information Act – and grant the White House full review and edit authority of all records.

Transparency eh’ ?

WASHINGTON DC – It’s Sunshine Week, so perhaps some enterprising White House reporter will ask press secretary Jay Carney why President Obama rewrote the Freedom of Information Act without telling the rest of America.
The rewrite came in an April 15, 2009, memo from then-White House Counsel Greg Craig instructing the executive branch to let White House officials review any documents sought by FOIA requestors that involved “White House equities.”
That phrase is nowhere to be found in the FOIA, yet the Obama White House effectively amended the law to create a new exception to justify keeping public documents locked away from the public. (more…)

This is something the TV media are not reporting to the extent it is an explosive development.  

We know from media reports the two stolen passports were used by two Iranian Nationals.    We have previously been told the passports were used to try and gain entry to Europe their final destination.   However, if this report from the LA Times is accurate EVERYTHING changes and actually aligns with our theory of why the plane was taken.

BEIJING — Stolen passports carried by two Iranian men to board missing Malaysia  Airlines Flight 370 were used last year by two people applying for visas to  work as entertainers in China, according to the head of an entertainment  company. (more…)

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

 PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office ran an undercover sting operation over three years that captured leading Philadelphia Democrats, including four members of the city’s state House delegation, on tape accepting money, The Inquirer has learned.
Yet no one was charged with a crime.
Prosecutors began the sting in 2010 when Republican Tom Corbett was attorney general. After Democrat Kathleen G. Kane took office in 2013, she shut it down.
In a statement to The Inquirer on Friday, Kane called the investigation poorly conceived, badly managed, and tainted by racism, saying it had targeted African Americans.
{snip, it “targeted African Americans” is a misnomer.  African Americans were caught as an outcome, not an intent.   Think about it – This is the concept of “disparate impact’ applied to the rule of law.  Whereas using ‘disparate impact’ logic: law enforcement, or lawful investigation, is defined as “targeting” by the result, not the intent.  If you say stealing a car is unlawful, and you target car thieves, and all of the thieves are black – then arresting car thieves is ‘targeting African Americans’… /SD}

(UK Independent) The Libyan former prime minister Ali Zeidan fled last week after parliament voted him out of office.
A North Korean-flagged oil tanker, the Morning Glory, illegally picked up a cargo of crude from rebels in the east of the country and sailed safely away, despite a government minister’s threat that the vessel would be “turned into a pile of metal” if it left port: the Libyan navy blamed rough weather for its failure to stop the ship. Militias based in Misrata, western Libya, notorious for their violence and independence, have launched an offensive against the eastern rebels in what could be the opening shots in a civil war between western and eastern Libya.
Without a central government with any real power, Libya is falling apart. And this is happening almost three years after 19 March 2011 when the French air force stopped Mu’ammer Gaddafi’s counter-offensive to crush the uprising in Benghazi. Months later, his burnt-out tanks still lay by the road to the city. (more…)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama’s national security team discussed the Ukraine crisis in a session at the White House on Saturday after a last-ditch bid to find a diplomatic solution to the Cold War-style standoff with Russia floundered.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who just returned from talks with his Russian counterpart in London, was at the White House meeting along with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Obama did not attend the meeting but was being briefed about it and other developments involving Ukraine, said Laura Lucas Magnuson, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.  (read more)

WASHINGTON DC – Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Dan Pfeiffer, an advisor to President Obama, wasn’t telling the truth:
The YouTube ID of 3xDlJFhZjOM?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
“If [Obama] doesn’t get more involved in raising money and making this a choice, as Dan Pfeiffer said, you lose the Senate. And if you lose the Senate, turnout the lights because the party’s over,” said Gibbs on NBC this morning.
NBC host David Gregory asked, “Is the Senate in danger?”
“Definitely,” said Gibbs. “Absolutely.”

This is an example where the espoused ideology (tolerance) of progressives run exactly counter to their intolerant action.   [*note* – Asheville N.C. is a liberal island in a generally conservative geography]   

Progs love to use the weapon of “bullying” to advance their social constructs especially around sexual orientation.  Gay becomes hip/cool and is warmly trumpeted in almost every school district.   Around the forced social engineering ‘race’ is another favorite for them to play with, and you’ll find numerous examples of teenage girls being told to “kiss a black boy to prove you are not racist”.    It’s a social meme advanced in the school systems that have evolved to become indoctrination camps. 
But look at how they approach a ‘straight kid’ who just happens to like My Little Pony.  Would they ask a girl student to leave her lunchbox at home?  Of course not.  Such is the pretzellian logic of the progs.  They’ll tell YOU when equality is permissible.

HatTip Chip Bennett – [BUNCOMBE COUNTY, N.C. (WRIC)]— A North Carolina mother whose son has been bullied for bringing a “My Little Pony” bag to class says school officials now won’t let him bring the bag to school.

Grayson Bruce is a big fan of “My Little Pony,” a cartoon that emphasizes to children that “friendship is magic.” But his interest has caused the 9-year-old to be bullied at school; his classmates say his favorite toy is for girls.
“They’re taking it a little too far, with punching me, pushing me down, calling me horrible names, stuff that really shouldn’t happen,” Bruce told WLOS News13, an ABC affiliate in Asheville, N.C. “Most of the characters in the show are girls, and most of the people put it toward girls, most of the toys are girlie.” (more…)

There’s a bigger undercurrent issue here which we’ll be discussing tomorrow….

WASHINGTON – An exhibit at the “Feminist Museum” at the University of Oregon (UO) has attacked hardware stores for selling tools that have been painted pink.
Britt Bowen, a UO graduate student and co-creator of “Feminist Museum” told Campus Reform that fellow student Mattie Reynolds created the project to protest “the way that certain companies will target female customers by painting things pink.”
“I have this huge problem with going into hardware stores and seeing these traditionally ‘male’ tools that companies make applicable to women by making them pink,” Reynolds said in an article published in Daily Emerald, a student newspaper.  (read more)
