GOOD NEWS ! On Tuesday, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) announced a drastic turnaround on the part of the federal government: The German Romeike family, which sought asylum in the United States to home-school their children, will now be allowed to stay in America.
“The Romeikes can stay!!!” the HSLDA announced on its Facebook page.
(The Courant) Everyone knew there would be some gun owners flouting the law that legislators hurriedly passed last April, requiring residents to register all military-style rifles with state police by Dec. 31.
But few thought the figures would be this bad.
By the end of 2013, state police had received 47,916 applications for assault weapons certificates, Lt. Paul Vance said. An additional 2,100 that were incomplete could still come in.
That 50,000 figure could be as little as 15 percent of the rifles classified as assault weapons owned by Connecticut residents, according to estimates by people in the industry, including the Newtown-based National Shooting Sports Foundation. No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000.
Hiding the manipulation behind the REAL Trayvon Martin Story takes a confluence of associated interests. Considering THIS and especially considering THIS….
Just imagine how much political damage could immediately present itself if this story was covered by investigative journalism ?
(Associated Press) The large, mostly African-American and Hispanic crowd was dotted with dignitaries, among them black and Hispanic members of Congress, NBA great Earvin “Magic” Johnson, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Also present were the parents of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, two black Florida teenagers killed in separate shootings. (link)
(Miami Herald) – Joining the president at the White House was Rep. Frederica S. Wilson, D-Miami, Mami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and Dr. Theron Clark, administrator 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project, a program founded by the congresswoman to mentor at-risk boys in Miami-Dade schools. Obama cited the program in his remarks. (more…)
Trayvon Martin’s father, Tracy, appeared on MSNBC yesterday to talk about the second anniversary of Trayvon’s death. Tracy Martin discussed America’s obsession with guns.
However, as with all things from Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton the TRUTH is 180 degrees divergent.
Apparently Tracy Martin was all for Trayvon having a gun, until after Trayvon was killed and then he changed his position. You see, he was all for teens with guns, before he was against them. (more…)
Muslim print shop stores will now be open to litigation if they refuse to depict their prophet Mohammed on customer T-Shirts. Muslim restaurant owners are now open to litigation if they refuse to make Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwiches….. oh yeah, and Catholics business owners are now open to civil rights litigation if they refuse to participate in same sex marriage activities…..
(Raw Story) – After days of protests and criticism levied against her state, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) said on Wednesday that she vetoed SB 1062, which would have effectively legalized discrimination based on religious grounds.
Brewer said she had not heard of one example of religious freedoms being attacked without the bill, considered it broadly worded, and did not address any specific concerns.
She further said that SB 1062 “has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve” and would be divisive “to a degree that no one would ever want.” (read more)
The YouTube ID of bfrr5px3Xqg?feature=player_embedded is invalid.Remember it was President Obama who said there was not even a “smidgen” of corruption in the IRS targeting of conservative groups.
WASHINGTON DC – The attorney for Lois Lerner, a central figure in the IRS scandal, said Wednesday his client will not comply with a request to return to Capitol Hill next week to testify.
Attorney William Taylor said Lerner, who resigned last year as the agency’s tax-exempt organizations chief, will return only if compelled by a federal court or if given immunity for her testimony.
Taylor stated his position in a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He was responding to a letter Tuesday from Issa saying, in part, that Lerner’s testimony remains “critical to the committee’s investigation.” (more…)
Yeah, think about it. What lengths do you think these people will go to in their efforts to avoid sunlight ? Carvalho is deeply connected to the political machine. He turned down the position of Federal Asst. Secretary of Education – He’s connected deeply to both the President and First lady, as well as Eric Holder. He’s also deeply politically attached to FL State Attorney General Pam Bondi.
This is the man who created the M-DSPD issues which led to illegal diversionary programs in Miami-Dade Schools and eventually Trayvon Martin’s death….. It just sickens me to see this guys get away with this, like – you have no idea.
The School Superintendents Association announced in Nashville Thursday that Carvalho had won the 2014 National Superintendent of the Year. Carvalho, who attended the event with two school board members, said he was “humbled and honored” and as he accepted his award his first thoughts were of his father.
The award, given to one of the country’s 49 state superintendents of the year, is likely to further ever-present speculation about whether Carvalho will seek public office or a job on a bigger stage. But Carvalho said in an interview Thursday evening that he remains as focused as ever on working for the 350,000 students of Miami-Dade County. (more…)
This story is horrific. A white male, Davis Woods, was leaving a local deli in Western Philadelphia when a black male walked up to him from behind and *brutally* smashed him in the head with a hammer. Mr. Woods friend, Bernard Williams, was in their truck and witnessed the attacker.
The suspect was identified by the police using CCTV systems. Last night (2/24) they named the suspect as Nathanial Maybin, aged 29. Today (2/25) Maybin turned himself in.
The police are calling this an “attempted robbery”. However, there is video available where you can decide for yourself –CLICK HERE– which was broadcast on local Philadelphia ABC channel.
If you watch the video, and listen to the statement of the witness, Bernard Williams – the man’s friend, you will note the friend does not think this was robbery either.
The friend thinks it was attempted murder.
The friend, Mr. Williams, also happens to be black.
It’s obvious to both Mr. Williams, and any non-PC infected observer, this was not a botched robbery. WATCH THE VIDEO However, the PC infected police department just cannot allow the truth to be discussed. (more…)
We wrote about the attack yesterday, but we just noticed an ABC media report which includes another version of the victim statement to the police. Identifying something the media refuse to accept is real:
Waggoner told police that he heard a suspect say:
…“if you want to be all the way in the club, you have to kill the polar bear.” (ABC News)
Screen shot from ABC/Yahoo News Report
A white Dayton Ohio bus driver was fixing a bus when a group of three black teens savagely attacked him in their attempt to gain gang membership.
Rickey Wagoner (pictured left), was shot multiple times in the chest, and hip.
Wagoner described the attackers as young black males, likely in their late teens. He said they fled in a dark-colored 1990s model Ford. No arrests have been made.
According to a police report, Wagoner told investigators he believed the shooting may have been a gang initiation. He said he heard one of the suspects tell another to kill him “if you want to be all the way in the club.” (full story link)
Notice in the local Dayton Daily News article (screen shot above) they cut out the full victim quote to remove the part: “you have to kill a polar bear“?
