GO BILL !!

New York – Mayor de Blasio brought down the hammer Thursday on three charter schools operated by nemesis Eva Moskowitz, leaving hundreds of kids without classrooms this fall.

“This has to be the saddest day for the Success Academy’s children, family, teachers, school leaders,” Moskowitz said after meeting with stunned charter parents in Harlem.

“Right now, our kids are being evicted. Evicted out of their school. It’s wrong and we need an explanation. You’re going to have to ask Mayor Deblasio what the motivations are for a decision that will hurt so many children now and, frankly, forever.”

That statement should strike the independent psyche as odd.   Alas, it does not…. why? Because the filtering prism witnessed (as applied) is only based on one thing, the perception of importance.

Why would skin color even factor in to whether or not the policy/ideology is wrong, unless you think the skin color is a defining factor in your view toward the policy/ideology.

Like most within the professionally aggrieved class, Lemon is stating he’s black first and a journalist second.  He has to overcome his inherent sense of race, to carry out his responsibility of a journalist.   Such is the reality of something that rings true in all progressives; ideological bias trumps all else when expressed.

In Don Lemon’s case it’s his race and skin color because this is what he views as central to his own psychological definitions. Black is his foundational principle.

For non-black media types the foundational principle, which overlay their decisions, is their liberal sense of world-view.

(Via Daily Caller)  A student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada was forced to issue a formal apology for emailing a picture of President Obama kicking open a door–all because some students thought the image was somehow racist.

The image was actually an edited .gif, and was shown by Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” last fall. It humorously suggests that the president may be fed up with press conferences.

McGill student Brian Farnan, vice president of the university’s student government, sent out an email with the .gif and the harmless caption, “Honestly midterms get out of here,” according to Legal Insurrection.

Northern and central Virginia local papers are reporting on a very bizarre case involving the disappearance and death of a Virginia reserve police officer, Captain Kevin Quick, who served in the Waynesboro, Va Police Dept.

Kevin Quick was en route to visit the mother of his 4 month old infant daughter in an apartment complex near Barracks Road in Charlottesville, Va when he disappeared.  Police have been able to trace the movements of his vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner, in a bizarre pattern through central Virginia, up to Manassas in northern Virginia, and then back down again to Louisa County in central Virginia, where it was used as a getaway vehicle in a robbery attempt.

The race to replace disgraced former mayor Bob Filner between Democrat David Alvarez and Republican candidate Kevin Faulconer, both former city council members and local government colleagues, ended with a decisive victory for Faulconer.

Faulconer promises to work to heal a city that is reeling from the second resignation of a Mayor in a decade, winning February’s special election in a decisive victory which will allow him to remain in office for the remainder of the disgraced former Mayor’s term, which ends in 2016 (coincidentally).

I’ll be writing up some thoughts on how the media is presenting this again.

The issues are far more complex than can be summarized in a six to eight hundred word synopsis.

There are serious issues represented in how Chris Cuomo and the larger media are continuing to advance a historically flawed narrative surrounding the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. When the trial evidence was presented (poorly in my opinion) and then the jury verdict was announced, a decision by the media was needed. Would they admit their former false presentations, or would they double down on their false media narrative.

It is now clear the media is wantonly doubling down on their falsehoods.

It is also clear the reason they can get away with it is because Mark O’Mara played a white-guilt apologist role in keeping the “why” out of the sunlight.

As the only person who interviewed hundreds of students in/around Krop Senior High School, and having invested thousands of hours in research to the people and motivation’s behind the story, we will attempt clarification.

VERY FEW, almost no-one, at Krop Senior High School knew Trayvon Martin. When you understand why that is, you begin to understand how totally false the entire construct of the shooting storyline, as presented by the media, actually is.

The media are squirming and contorting like a pretzel on this one.   After almost two years of media denial that random racially motivated “knock out assaults” on white people are factual, this Massachusetts example stands out as painful for the media’s desire to avoid.

In this example specifically what you see is BLACK RAGE against two white people who are representative of North East “crackers”.  Seemingly well doing, wealthy, well presented, yuppie young white couple.  

The imagery of this well-to-do young white couple in front of this young black man is too much for him to bear.   The presence of this image in his life hits a central nerve and an autonomic, almost uncontrollable instinct is activated.    He immediately channels his inner “Durango”.    

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. —Cambridge police are on the lookout for an assault suspect after he allegedly punched two people in the head on a Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk and took another swing at a third.

A worker at a furniture store in Cambridge, told NewsCenter 5 he tended to two people Saturday at the store. The first, a tourist, said a tall, young man walked up behind him at the intersection of Mass Ave. and Dana Street and swung underneath his umbrella to punch him in the face. He suffered a bruise.

The second victim had just left the store with his girlfriend when the suspect rushed him from behind and punched him in the side of the head. That attack, caught on the store’s surveillance camera and obtained exclusively by NewsCenter 5, shows the suspect swinging at the victim and then walking away in the direction of Harvard Square.

Karen Gray Houston, a local reporter for Fox 5 DC, interviewed a few straight-A middle school students who were rewarded a pizza party at their school and made them feel bad that the party excluded “B” and “C” students.

The party, which happened during the last period of the day, featured free pizza, soda, games and a DJ. Students with all A’s were invited to the pizza party while students with some B’s, and C’s were only invited after the pizza was served. The report says that students with even lower grades were not invited at all.

Houston, who was reporting on site, could relate, saying, “Speaking of not getting an invitation, we were not allowed inside for the party at Eastern Middle School either, so we know a little about what it’s like to be left out.”

The students who were interviewed by Houston all answered in the affirmative that the party was indeed fun and that they were proud of making straight A’s. Then  Houston shamed them for reaping a benefit of hard work: (continue reading)

“Reporters Without Borders”,  a watchdog organization headquartered in Paris, France and known by its French acronym, “RSF”, has published its annual “World Press Freedom Index”.

Liberty Blitzkrieg brings to our attention that in the great march FORWARD!, the US was a front runner in the stakes for greatest loss of press freedom in year over year results – slipping an impressive 13 slots  from #33 last year to #46 on the 2014 world ranking, after Romania but before Haiti.

There were some “non-surprises”, such as North Korea and Eritrea remaining at the back of the pack, but also some pleasant surprises with tiny Belize clocking in at an impressive #29, hanging out in the “free press” band with Australia at #28.

Clearly, much work remains to be done before the US can be satisfied that the people’s work is completed and it can comfortably hang in the 100’s with its pals in the middle east and Africa.  Maybe that will provide the necessary incentive to Dirty Harry in the Senate to get working on that innertubes kill switch.  In the meantime, those pesky bloggers keep bringing up stuff like Benghazi, or Warrantless Wiretaps, or the ever expanding use of technology to spy on and monitor its own citizens.

The 2014 World Press Freedom Index spotlights the negative impact of conflicts on freedom of information and its protagonists. The ranking of some countries has also been affected by a tendency to interpret national security needs in an overly broad and abusive manner to the detriment of the right to inform and be informed. This trend constitutes a growing threat worldwide and is even endangering freedom of information in countries regarded as democracies. Finland tops the index for the fourth year running, closely followed by Netherlands and Norway, like last year. At the other end of the index, the last three positions are again held by Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea, three countries where freedom of information is non-existent.

See if you can tell WHY this story will not receive the same level of media attention as the Michael Dunn trial ?

ARKANSAS – A mischievous prank turned deadly on Saturday  after a 15-year-old girl was allegedly shot dead by an irate Arkansas homeowner  who is now facing first-degree murder charges.

Adrian Broadway was allegedly hit in the head  by Willie Noble, 48, after the teenage girl and five other friends covered  Noble’s car with leaves, eggs and mayonnaise just before 1am on Saturday  morning.

It was the second prank Broadway and her  friends had played on Noble that evening – causing him to burst out of his home  in Little Rock firing his gun at the car containing the teen and her  friends. (more…)
