Other than the passage of the 17th amendment the action of the Senate yesterday to strip the rule of minority consent, sold by the media under the obfuscation term of “the filibuster rule”, nothing has been so stark as to destroy the very foundation from our republic.
To justify the usurpation the White House tweets this message:

Everything you need to know about why today’s #filibuster rule change is a really big deal: http://t.co/Sl4lKRMxpe, pic.twitter.com/69aLdZ8kpL

Understand the severity – The “minority consent“, now dispatched in rather willy nilly fashion, by Majority Leader Harry Reid is the thread which binds the very fabric of the constitution.
There is NOT one mention of the word “Democracy” in our constitution – NOT ONE.  The absence of the word democracy is specifically intentional.
The exact phrase which sums up our united states charter is:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government.”

The “Consent of the Minority” was not merely a substantive point of constitutional construction.  It was -by intentional construct- the very binding substance which created the parchment before a single word was penned. (more…)

(Via Heritage)   Last week’s closed-door testimony by five CIA operatives who witnessed the attack on the U.S. special mission in Benghazi has finally created an opening for the congressional investigating committees.

The five CIA contractors, who testified in closed-door hearings before the House Intelligence Committee Thursday and Friday, were stationed at the “CIA annex” in Benghazi, about one mile from the U.S. special diplomatic mission. This was the facility that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tasked Ambassador Chris Stevens to turn into a permanent consulate, even though security staff there was totally inadequate.

First off, it’s Katie Couric, OK.   That should be a big enough flashy sign !  But the gag-a-maggot obfuscation, condescension, manipulation and sheer prog smarminess in this video is enough to require auto computer disconnect technology hooked up to a blood pressure cuff.
But if you dare to watch it keep a barf bag handy and put away all sharp or movable objects first.     YOU’VE BEEN WARNED !

The media are finally catching on;  well, sort of.   We have been highlighting the “knock out game” or, as it is called regionally “Polar Bear Hunting” since it’s origin in the summer of 2011.  
The actual behavior, black youths punching random white pedestrians and posting the results to their social media networks, began during the Wisconsin State Fair in 2011 – it spread from there to cities and states coast to coast.
The media have picked up on the behavior but they are avoiding pointing out the racial aspect.   All the thugs are black males, and all the victims are white.

Today another report from the surrounding Philadelphia area – “Knockout” attacks have been reported in several states around the country and now investigators believe three people have been attacked in our area.
Police in Lower Merion are investigating two attacks in the area, and Philadelphia detectives are investigating an attack in Northeast Philadelphia.
It’s a violent crime that in other parts of the country has proven fatal. (more…)

Yesterday we posed the question:  Was George Zimmerman Set Up?
In an ironic response to the WKMG Channel 6 article George Zimmerman’s “girlfriend“, Samantha Scheibe, and her mother, Hope Mason,  claim they did not set him up:

[…]  “She wants to make it absolutely clear. She says that she and her daughter did not set Zimmerman up for what happened on Monday at her home in Apopka.” (link)

Yet, if you are to accept the claim by Samantha and her mother, Hope, you are left wondering – why then were they price shopping for media interviews in the weeks that led up to the recent incident ?
Not only why were they trying to sell their story to media outlets, but why did Samantha Scheibe call media resource Christi O’Conner while the argument with George Zimmerman was taking place?      Christi O’Conner is the woman who has moved to Florida, while under investigation in California, in order to make a living by selling stories in/around George Zimmerman.

Rut Roh.   More exposure for Dems behaving badly, very badly.  In this latest case a  Director of Obamacare Navigators is exposed admitting his intent to collect personal data for use in establishing files or lists of enrollee information for political purposes.

Perhaps Rick Santelli is the modern architect of the Fiscal Tea Party.  It was his epic rant on TV, around the stimulus and bailout bills, which visibly gave birth to a righteous awakening of people who realized he was expressing their very concerns.
A year ago, like many others – including us, Santelli smelled something afoot with the strange employment numbers just prior to the election.   He was attacked mercilessly by the left and the right who labeled him an “unemployment truther”.   Yesterday, given the revelation the Census Dept. was actually fudging the figures, Santelli framed his righteous vindication.

There is a semi-big kerfuffle about President Obama reciting the Gettysburg address for a PBS special, and yet in the Obama version he left out the “under God” phrase from the …”that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom“….  part.

White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday gave a simple explanation for the reading.

“He [Obama] read the version of the address that Ken Burns provided,” he said, noting that Burns is a “noted Civil War scholar.”  (link)

Only there’s something weird about that Carney explanation.   Something that totally does not make sense. (more…)

Last night Greta Van Sustern bravely highlighted the growing trend of Black on Non-Black violence.  We expanded on her presentation HERE.

Rumor has it that Bill O’Reilly will be following up tonight on his show.   Just an FYI.
