Gee, given the propensity of the School Superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, to force Miami-Dade School Police to use the Baker Act to divert students way from the criminal justice system….. what could possibly go wrong?

MIAMI (CBS4) – It’s called the silent epidemic; children and adolescents suffering from mental illness.   Without early intervention it’s considered by many experts to be a time bomb.

One of the nation’s leading experts on mental illness, Miami-Dade Judge Steve Leifman, said time is running out. He’s launched an offensive to identify children in trouble and children who might cause trouble.

“Miami-Dade County has the largest number of people with mental illness than any other urban area equivalent in the nation. That’s 52,000 children and less than one-third have access to treatment,” Leifman told CBS4’s Chief Investigative Reporter Michele Gillen.

Leifman is the architect of a project whose goal is to identify mental illness in students. Beginning in March, the program ”Typical or Troubled?” will roll out in a handful of schools across the country. (more…)

Like much of President Downgrade’s tenure the Syrian fiasco is one of insufferable consequences resulting from a ‘lead from behind’ strategy.

The window of opportunity for the U.S. to take action passed two years ago when the actual Syrian people, the ordinary freedom citizens, were crying out for help.  Over the course of the two years that followed those ordinary voices have been overrun by extremists who jumped into the vacuum created by a lack of action.

Now Syria has devolved into a brutal Assad regime being fought by an even more brutal group of al-Qaeda extremists, while supported by Egypt and Muslim Brotherhood elements.   The ordinary freedom movement is hiding amid destroyed homes, broken glass, and blood stained curtains.

Syria is Obama’s Iran 2.0 deja-vu.   In Iran 2009, the “Green Movement” suffered a similar fate to the ordinary Syrian seeking freedom.   President Obama ignored them both when the window was open – In Iran the Islamic iron gates locked down the opening, in Syria the same is taking place. (more…)

Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with “Women Hunt” and quoting Shakespeare’s Henry V, Sarah Palin addressed the NRA-ILA forum in Houston, TX this week, opening her remarks with the bold statement:  “This is a Fight for the Future of Freedom”

As to be expected, Sarah Palin lives up to the expectation that she would throw out the red meat for the 2nd Amendment supporters.

She calls out the Corporate Media as the “poodle skirted cheerleader” for a “President who writes the book on exploiting tragedy”.

“Leaders who practice the politics of emotion”.

She moves on to address what she calls the “codependency of freedom and morality…”

“What can we do to nurture and support a people capable of living in freedom…”

Cue Prog splodey heads everywhere….

CALIFORNIA USSA – The parents of a 5-month-old were shocked when police showed up to take away their infant boy after they told a doctor they wanted a second opinion.

Caught on camera, the footage shows police entering the California home of Anna and Alex Nikolayev and asking Anna to hand over the baby.

‘I’m going to grab your baby,’ one of the several officers at the scene told Nikolayev, ‘And don’t resist and don’t fight me.’

‘He grabbed my arm,’ the new mother told KXTV, ‘so I couldn’t take Sammy. And they took Sammy, and they just walked away.” (more…)

Cultural marxism is predicated on destroying the concepts of family, faith, stability, individual effort and personal responsibility.  It works by the politics of division and envy, and by the assignment of indulgences and patronage to favored groups to ensure loyalty.  Meritocracy and true equality based on effort is anathema to cultural marxists.
