James O’Keefe introduced the world to this type of mentality during his exceptional sting of NPR, the Praetorian Guard of media, in 2011 – Story Here.  William Tucker wrote a great article as a follow-up and describes the personality traits accurately:

(American Spectator) James O’Keefe’s NPR sting has to be one of the most beautifully orchestrated deceptions in the annals of journalism. I think the academy award for performance in a documentary should go to that bushy-bearded “Arab” who, on hearing NPR executive Richard Schiller say, “Let me take off my NPR hat” and launching into his Tea Party rant, intones in a marvelously phony North African accent, “I like it when you take off your NPR hat.” That was the laugh line of the year.

Jake Tapper via Washington (CNN) — In a 2011 conversation about the Affordable Care Act, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the law more commonly known as Obamacare, talked about how the bill would get rid of all tax credits for employer-based health insurance through “mislabeling” what the tax is and who it would hit.

In recent days, the past comments of Gruber — who in a 2010 speech noted that he “helped write the federal bill” and “was a paid consultant to the Obama administration to help develop the technical details as well” — have been given renewed attention. (more…)

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot – Yikes.  The National Anthem needs a warning ?

(Via Daily Caller) CNN, which bills itself as “The Most Trusted Name in News,” sure knows how to put a weird damper on a perfectly heartwarming, patriotic and downright tearjerker story during the week of Veterans Day.

The video story is entitled “Sailor mom surprises daughter at school.” It first appeared on CNN on Thursday — on loan from an Indianapolis Fox affiliate.
Prior to CNN’s presentation of the video (just after the mandatory commercial), a warning message appeared for several seconds in bold font atop a two-tone black background.
“Please be advised you are about to hear an excerpt of the national anthem,” the warning declared (more)

We have tracked this intent for 5 years as it evolved from theory, to hidden practice, to policy discussion, then presidential executive order, and now into full blown implementation.
Both Miami-Dade and Maryland Schools did it secretly. At least the Minneapolis School District is being open about their intentions, all former districts have done it without telling the public.
Minneapolis will now institute a policy of disciplinary suspension for white students, but blacks and other minorities will not be suspended and allowed intolerant behavior to correct the disparate impact.
MINNESOTA –  Minneapolis Public Schools are implementing a new policy aimed at eliminating the gap between the races when it comes to suspensions. Nothing will change for white students, they will still be suspended at the discretion of each school’s principal. But for minority students, specifically black, Hispanic and Native American students, the Minneapolis Schools Superintendent’s office will personally review each case.
This new policy is part of an agreement with U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced last week after an investigation into why minority students made up such a high percentage suspended students in the past. (more…)

Let us provide the obvious two answers to the repeating questions in this article:

#1 )  This is Maryland – One of the most historically liberal of governmental constructs for liberal policy implementation. They avoid this stuff.

#2)  “All your children are belong to us” – In Maryland the government knows better than you.  Period.  When in doubt, refer to #1.  Remember the “pop tart gun” kid – and the subsequent entire school psychological counseling?

GERMANTOWN, Md. (WJLA) – Parents are furious about a Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) substitute teacher who is accused of sexually assaulting a student, just one week after they learned a contractor allegedly inappropriately touched two students.

Jose Pineda, a 50-year-old substitute teacher, reportedly touched a 12-year-old girl inappropriately at Roberto W. Clemente Middle School on Sept. 30. Court documents allege Pineda first reached around the girl and touched her behind, then walked by four to five times and squeezed her legs and bottom. (more…)

It’s not a prayer idiot, it’s the national anthem.   However, apparently that’s the point.   He hates the nation providing him the opportunity.

So Guess What Drives His decision?   Go ahead, guess.
Then, See Here – and see if you were correct.

Painful though it may be to watch – it’s worthwhile as an exercise in sharpening the saw:

With the election in the rear view the probability calendar for the Saint Louis Grand Jury decision is now at the apex and will remain there for the next two weekends.

The Grand Jury decision is anticipated either this weekend or next, with the highest probability being this weekend preceding Veterans Day Tuesday November 11th.   For those unfamiliar with the pre-planning here’s what to expect and what to look for?
First, it’s important to remember the broad stroke strategy was roughly planned out in August with the details filling in along the way.  You really didn’t think that civil war CMH award yesterday was just some random calendar pick did you?
Most of the references you’ll see in the media will mention the Department of Justice or DOJ, however it’s also important to draw a distinction between the DOJ and the actual agency being discussed, the “Community Relations Service”, or CRS, which is within the DOJ. (more…)

A critical element in training the “Safari Park Rules” is teaching the game wardens how to avoid their instincts when around predators.

FERGUSON • The Department of Justice announced Thursday that it is hosting a training session through Friday about fair and impartial policing for commanders of local departments, including Ferguson’s.
The effort is part of the Justice Department’s Collaborative Reform Initiative within the St. Louis County police that started after Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown in August.
President Barack Obama then asked Attorney General Eric Holder to send the agency’s Community Oriented Policing Services director, Ron Davis, to work with police officials in Ferguson.
The two-day training includes command-level law enforcement leadership from St. Louis County, St. Louis, the Missouri Highway Patrol and Ferguson police, as well as local community members. (more…)
