Sometimes we find articles, insight, or perspectives that directly align with, solidify and confirm previous deep vetted research and presentations. Such is the case with this:
First the back story. In September of 2010, before we assembled our Last Refuge of patriots, I wrote an article -a warning of sorts- for constitutional patriots assembled at iOTW about the danger of Karl Rove:
Karl was president of the National College Republicans and has been entrenched with the concentric circles of the Decipticons since his high school/college days, trying to work his entire career into the middle where the sandwiches have no crust, waiters pour bottled water table side, and thin suave fellas place a linen napkin atop your lap for you.
He was a rough, modest kid outsider who wanted in. Desperately wanted in, so he sought approval at every corner. He mastered all things politic. He studied books, attended speeches, joined campaigns and would cross the country without sleep just to enter the room before the cigar smoke cleared and catch a glimpse or snippet of the Decepticon meeting.

WASHINGTON DC – Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here.
“When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only dehumanize me, you’re offending them,” he said. “No human being is illegal.”
Mr. Vargas testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee alongside Chris Crane — a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and president of the ICE agents’ union — who is unable to arrest him under the administration’s new non-deportation policies.
Mr. Vargas, who “came out” as an illegal immigrant several years ago, delivered an emotional plea for the country to legalize him. (more)
-Corporate profits are high, but wages are stagnant… it is therefore our task to restore the unfinished task that [redistributes wealth] opens the doors to opportunity.
-The nations interests should come before party. [cept’ I’m gonna work on my agenda regardless of what y’all want]
-We are more than 1/2 way (2.5) to $4 trillion in deficit reduction [400 billion/yr]. The question is how to cut more. [Republicans want to kill essential services, Democrats want to protect them]…. We won’t grow the middle class by shifting more cuts, “we cannot cut our way to prosperity”….. I say more “investment”.
-Medicare payments should be made only for essential services to the elderly. Doctors should not be allowed to order any test they want…. they should only order the tests that “I” approve. That’ll help.
-Why should deficit controls impact Social Security? We just need to raise more taxes, close loopholes, insure millionaires cannot avoid payment, stop companies from moving overseas and reform the tax code. (more…)
The President Obama White House has three current “priority issues” in the works. Gun Control, Immigration Reform and Climate Change (energy reform) as current important objectives.
Compare those three to the Priority List of Americans in General. Where do they fall?
WASHINGTON DC – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:
Panetta said, though he did meet with Obama at a 5 o’clock prescheduled gathering, the president left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, “up to us.” (more…)
(Via WFB) The Senate Armed Services Committee will not hold a vote Thursday on the confirmation of secretary of defense nominee Chuck Hagel.
The office of Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.) confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon that the vote has been delayed and that no new date has been set.
“Hagel vote won’t be tomorrow in Armed Services,” Politico’s Manu Raju tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “Levin: “The committee’s review of the nomination is not yet complete.’” Foreign Policy’s Josh Rogin also confirmed the delay. (more…)
If you shoot someone in Dear Leader’s hometown, Chicago, you have better than 10 to 1 odds you’ll get away with it. Only 8% of non-lethal shooters were “charged” in 2011. Only 6% in 2012. And a much smaller percentage ever reach a conviction.
CHICAGO – It’s getting easier to get away with shooting people in Chicago.
Last year, gunmen who shot and wounded someone got away without criminal charges 94 percent of the time, according to a DNAinfo.com Chicago analysis of police data.
That’s even worse than 2011, when 91.5 percent of shooters escaped charges, according to the data. Chicago’s top cop said the “no-snitch” code of silence on the street is the biggest contributor in his department’s struggle to charge shooters. (more…)
Remember all the racially based flash mobs in 2011 (Wisconsin, Atlanta, Philadelphia) ?
In July 2011 when Nkosi Thandiwe shot three white females in Atlanta, GA, the “mainstream legacy media” went into extreme racial censorship mode. The media would not admit the victims were all beautiful, young white ladies. Nor would they post the pictures of the victims. But by far the worst manipulation was the actual treatment and portrayal of the perp by The Atlanta Journal Constitution, who wrote:
Just as she was an unlikely victim — a bubbly 26- year-old delighted with her life and only recently returned to her hometown — the suspect was an unlikely killer: not only a security guard but the church-going son of a high-achieving family, including a mother who is an attorney versed in death-penalty law.
“It is the randomness of it,” said Dick Reed, a media analyst in Berkeley, Calif. After the initial shock, he said, it’s the mystery, the unknowns, that hold people’s interest. (link)
Mega barf. …”an unlikely killer“…
The media sought to portray a specific and intentional targeting of three white females by a black murderer as some terrible misunderstanding. This descriptive of the thug murderer continued for years with the media refusing to cover the reality of cause. The real motive.
However, unfortunately for the retention of their guise they could not avoid this weeks courtroom sunlight; And now they are forced to confront. (more…)
