Priorities?

Vacations to Aspen Colorado, Golfing with Tiger Woods, but yet he can’t get a budget finished and submitted to Congress?    Federal Law requires the President’s budget be submitted by the first Monday in February.   Consequently, it’ll be the most tardy, and unlawful, submission of Presidential Budget Priorities in the history of Budget Proposals.

We are so broke Obama needs to close the White House, our house, from our visits, yet Vice-Prez Biden can spend $600,000+ on one day limo rides, and now this….

(CNSNews.com) – The National Science Foundation awarded a grant for $876,752 to the University of Iowa to study whether there is any benefit to sex among New Zealand mud snails and whether that explains why any organism has sex. (more…)

George Zimmerman’s defense team  [ both of them 😉 ] filed a reply to Benjamin Crump’s response regarding deposition.   (pdf available here)   Essentially outlining the initial claims in the first motion for reconsideration – with clarification that ‘protected work product’ inquiry is a standard that cannot be met in advance of the question(s) being asked.

Still no word on why the Judge delayed the next hearing, or how the Orlando Sentinel (Rene Stutzman) became aware of the postponement. (more…)

Same sex marriage supporters are confindent the federal law defining marriage between a man and a woman will be struck down, (DOMA).   It appears the general sense is that each state will define their own marriage laws and recognition thereof….  Which opens up another whole set of issues regarding “reciprocity”. 

GAY MARRIAGE – Midway through a National Organization protest in front of the US Supreme Court building, punches flew. One, which landed on the face of a marcher, was thrown by gay marriage advocate Sergei Kostin, a former Occupy DC member whom a source in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department described as a ‘professional activist.’

The other was a gut-punch that Kostin told MailOnline provoked him – one that no one else saw. If that punch flew, one observer countered, however, it’s not clear how hard it could have been. (more…)

On March 18th George Zimmerman attorney, Mark O’Mara, filed a motion for judicial reconsideration regarding a prior ruling stopping Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump from being deposed.

There were/are multiple substantive arguments in the motion filed by O’Mara outlining the defense position that Benjamin Crump, is specifically a key witness for deposition surrounding all of the elements regarding discovery of Witness #8, Dee Dee.   Additionally the motion draws attention to misleading statements, false representations to the court, and false claims by Crump to the media and defense.  (review here)

Today Benjamin Crump, through his counsel, Bruce Blackwell, responded: (more…)

That noise you hear from the State Dept and White House?….  Yep, it’s the sound of crickets chirping....

Cairo: Egypt’s prosecutor general on Monday ordered the arrest of five prominent political activists accused of inciting violence against President Mohamed Mursi’s Muslim Brotherhood, a step the opposition decried as a reversal for democracy.

The move seemed certain to deepen mistrust in an already polarised political landscape, further complicating Mursi’s efforts to build bridges with his opponents before parliamentary polls the opposition has threatened to boycott.

Those ordered arrested included Ahmed Douma and Alaa Abd El-Fattah, a leading blogger who became a symbol of the uprising that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Also ordered arrested were Karim al-Shaer, Hazem Abdel Azeem and Ahmed al-Sahafi. (more…)

A while ago, around the time we were contemplating “Password Protected Posts for ongoing research sharing”, and during an email exchange with DiwataMan, he posed the question: (paraphrased)

“how do you know the integrity of the person you may or may not give the password to – that they would not divulge sensitive information“?

Indeed, it has been a challenge to discover the “intents” of many people following this case – because, as you are probably aware, many of the Scheme Team players embedded into the Treehouse commenting community. They hid their agenda and operated a psy-ops campaign to discover information, that information was then transmitted to the prosecution team, the BGI and the concentric circles around the DOJ.

I read about this story last week and was waiting to see what “official” position the university took.   A College professor, Dr. Deandre Poole told students to write the name  “Jesus” on a piece of paper and throw it on the ground to stomp on it.

Not surprisingly one student took exception, refused, complained and was then suspended.

The school initially said this:

[…]  Dr. Poole was conducting a classroom exercise from a textbook entitled “Intercultural Communication: A Contextual Approach, 5th Edition” and released this statement to CBS12: ”Faculty and students at academic institutions pursue knowledge and engage in open discourse. While at times the topics discussed may be sensitive, a university environment is a venue for such dialogue and debate.”  (link)

(Via American Thinker) First of all, there is no gun show loophole.

People who sell firearms at gun shows are licensed Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers to begin with. Other people can set up a table at a gun show to sell tee shirts, laser sights, hand grips and other shooting accessories. Unless they are FFL dealers, they cannot sell guns.

If you read articles by journalists who visited gun shows, read carefully what they write because you will discover they will mix buying a tee shirt with buying an AR-15 and state that is some cases, they didn’t even need a background check. The LIV reads the article and goes away thinking, “Wow, he bought an assault rifle at a gun show without any background check.” Actually he bought the tee shirt without the background check but combined multiple purchases to mislead the reader.

Watching how the Grievance Industrialist Jesse Jackson uses language to divide, obfuscate, ignore and avoid the reality of his own ideology is laughable.

An all black historically corrupt city council, together with a black mayor, in a predominently black city, have run the place into the ground.   [The race of the aforementioned is noted only because of the approach by 2-J’s]  Now 2-J’s has the nerve to say an emergency city manager (also black), designed to try and save the city, is the equivalent of a plantation owner because he is appointed by a white governor:

“As opposed to having a city council that’s democratically elected and a mayor, you’ll have a plantocracy, a plantation-ocracy, replacing a democracy,” Jackson said.

[…]  Jackson was joined by Detroit City Councilwomen JoAnn Watson and Brenda Jones, U.S. Rep. John Conyers and a union representative at a rally inside city hall that drew  about 100 people. He also called on the U.S. Department of Justice to intervene to protect Detroiters’ rights to vote. (more…)
