We’ve followed politics for a long time,  including the optical narrative and positioning of political manipulation.   But the sheer in-your-face audacity of this one reaches all new levels. And of course the media will just turn the other way and let him get away with it…. unreal.

President Obama transporting families of the Newtown School shooting to Washington DC, via Air-Force One, to lobby congress for his gun control objectives.

An interesting ideological dilemma now exists regarding the 5th District Court of Appeals (DCA) about who should respond to their request for “Position” – ie. “order to show cause“.

The DCA is requiring “The State” be the respondant – they have to, there is no other way for the DCA to ask for an affirmative position to Nelson’s ruling.

Remember, the integral aspect to Judge Nelson’s ruling (essentially no deposition for Crump) was based in large part on the position that Benjamin Crump represented “Opposing Counsel” against Don West/Mark O’Mara and George Zimmerman. Subsequently she used the phrase “co-counsel”, a position from which the State of Florida, via Bernie De La Rionda, never distanced themselves from. (more…)

Matt R. Salmon, the gay son of Republican Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona, said Sunday that MSNBC and CNN cancelled interviews when he informed producers he wouldn’t attack his father on air. The younger Salmon said they expected him to criticize his dad, who doesn’t support same-sex marriage. Salmon singled out Lawrence O’Donnell and Piers Morgan’s shows as the ones who cancelled.

….. Modern Progressive goals are based on self-fulfilling prophecy.  Overwhelm the system, create crisis (the need for change), deconstruct established safeguards, and then rebuild a New World Order….

Let there be no further doubt:  Exhibit “A” Joe Biden

Vice President Joe Biden calls for the creation of a “new world order” at the Export Import Bank conference in Washington on April 5, 2013

Progressive Liars – yeah, I know, it’s an oxymoron…..  But there is no doubt when it comes to espousing an ideology a progressive will do anything, say anything and avoid anything that does not reconcile with their ideological view of the world.  They are notorious fibbers.

Such is the case with former Congresscritter Gabby Giffords as she claims, falsely, that Jared Loughner evaded a background check.   He didn’t, he passed one.   But progs cannot let a pesky thing like truth get in the way of their pontifications, an all too familiar mantra.

(Via New York Post)  We’re all used to hearing people say that patience is a virtue.

I think about patience every day as I continue to regain my speech and the mobility I lost after I was shot in the head two years ago, while meeting with my constituents in the parking lot of grocery store in my district.

I think about patience and determination, because I still wake up every day wanting to make the world a better place. (more…)

FLORIDA – The executive director of the State Attorney’s Office is leaving the  employment of Angela Corey.

Richard Komando resigned his position Thursday. In his three-sentence  resignation letter, Komando said his last day in the office would be that day,  but he will be taking leave through April 19 when he will officially depart.  Komondo declined to comment on his departure Friday.

This is the fourth high-profile employee to depart the State Attorney’s  Office in the last year. Chief Assistant State Attorney Dan McCarthy, former  executive director Mike Weinstein and Nassau County chief Wes White also  resigned.  (link)

Both Komando and Weinstein were both Executive Directors of the State Attorneys  office both reporting directly to Angela Corey. An Executive Director manages  the business office, human resource, and the office budget. Who would know best  about any money being used to pad Angela Coreys pension. This is a Salem Witch  hunt to find out who leaked the information to the press about Angela Corey  taking tax payer money to pad her retirement pension. The times Union created  some very bad press about the pension padding and this sounds like a Witch hunt  by Angela Corey to find the leak (link)

(via Mediaite)  On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her.

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department:

He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there, that they were going to be attacked, ‘please they needed more security,’ and they were ignored. And I don’t appreciate everybody going to bed and going to sleep and not taking care of the guys that they put in harm’s way, one of them being my son. (more…)

(Hat Tip WeaselZippers)   The ideology of what Egypt has become continues to play out on the world stage…  An Egypt fully supported by President Obama.

CAIRO (AP) — A mob threw rocks and fired birdshot Sunday at several hundred Christians marching in a protest against Egypt’s Islamist government after the funeral of four Christians killed in sectarian clashes over the weekend.

The Christians were chanting slogans against Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, just as several thousand did earlier during the funeral service nearby in the Coptic Orthodox cathedral in Cairo.

The attacking mob, described by witnesses as residents of the area, forced the marchers to take shelter inside the sprawling cathedral complex. They also showered the protesters with rocks from the roofs of nearby buildings, according to witness Ibrahim el-Shareef. (more…)

(Via iOTW) Obama once told Bryant Gumbel that you can tell something about a man on the basketball court. If they keep shooting when they have no jump shot it means they are delusional.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Friday that unless nominations start moving swiftly through the Senate, another round of dramatic rules changes may be in the offing.

The Nevada Democrat said that while he was “happy” with the modest rules changes adopted in January on a bipartisan basis, the number of pending judicial nominations led him to warn his colleagues of the potential for the chamber’s rules to be modified at any point in the year, not just at the opening of a new Congress.
