Melissa Harris Perry interviewed Rachel Dolezal tonight. However, MHP took the “sympathetic sisters in the cause approach” toward the discussion – and the professionally black are having coast to coast splodey heads.

The interview:

The Splodey’s:

Before getting to the latest updates, which include the family claims of being abused by the police, here is the original media report to include the 911 calls and CCTV video of the events.

Of course the professionally aggrieved see this incident as excessive police brutality. (more…)

It is beyond rare for a situation to develop where the professionally black are in such a state of angst within the world of the professionally liberal.

Someone, ANYONE, please, please, please ask Hillary Clinton:

“Do you think Rachel Dolezal is black”?

Alicia Walters, Black Lives Matter activist, and Dr. Wendy Walsh appeared last night on the Don Lemon show to discuss Rachel Dolezal.  (Well worth the time to watch)

The compare and contrast method was using Caitlyn Jenner as an example of transgender, and how Dolezal’s self-identification as a black woman could be considered similarly transracial.

Ms. Walters, the black lives matter activist, was visibly filled with angst at the concept of a woman identifying as black, despite the exceptionally delivered counter-points provided by Dr. Walsh.   The interview is a case-study in how the professionally black, construct their grievances and must dismiss any comparatives lest they be diminished.

The indignation is now palpable.

CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield initially stated the Dallas gunman who tried to kill the police was “Courageous” and “Brave”.

Against a massive and righteous public backlash for such an outrageous assertion, Ms. Whitfield gave a non-apology the following day.  However, it was an explanation filled with visible indignation and contempt for the views of the audience.

A considerable apology fail not just because of the words she selected, ie “misspoke“, but more for the tone of her delivery.  An indignant message fraught with annoyance at having to explain herself.

In her first attempt at “apologizing” she tried to position herself as the victim to a misunderstanding of others.  Again, it failed.  So today she tried again: (more…)

The DOJ’s use of the IRS to target political groups opposed to President Obama’s fundamental change policies remains one of the biggest scandals ever in the history of U.S. politics.  Yet few within the national media have ever attempted to broadcast the story.

(Via Daily Caller) The Internal Revenue Service found 6,400 more Lois Lerner emails — but they’re not handing them over in court.  The IRS’ latest excuses are nothing short of infuriating.

Department of Justice lawyers Geoffrey J. Klimas and Stephanie Sasarak, acting as counsel for the IRS, submitted a U.S. District Court filing June 12 in the case Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service.

The court filing, provided to The Daily Caller, claims the IRS received new Lerner emails from the Treasury Department’s inspector general (TIGTA) but can’t fork over the emails to Judicial Watch, a nonprofit group suing to get the emails. Why? Because the IRS is busy making sure that none of the emails are duplicates  – you know, so as not to waste anyone’s time. (more…)

…. but, but what about the Sand Smelts?  All’s fair in rules and regulations until those rules, regulations and laws circle back to impact the rule making advocates. 

(Via Washington Post) Drought or no drought, Steve Yuhas resents the idea that it is somehow shameful to be a water hog. If you can pay for it, he argues, you should get your water.

People “should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful,” Yuhas fumed recently on social media. “We pay significant property taxes based on where we live,” he added in an interview. “And, no, we’re not all equal when it comes to water.”

Yuhas lives in the ultra-wealthy enclave of Rancho Santa Fe, a bucolic Southern California hamlet of ranches, gated communities and country clubs that guzzles five times more water per capita than the statewide average. In April, after Gov. Jerry Brown (D) called for a 25 percent reduction in water use, consumption in Rancho Santa Fe went up by 9 percent. (more…)

Safe to say CNN choose not to hide their cop hatred on this occasion:

We are very lucky no Officers were hurt, no citizens. Sad part is a segment of society is happy this happened and still blame police.

WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration is expected to announce an agreement with Cuba in early July to reopen embassies and restore diplomatic relations severed more than five decades ago, U.S. sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.

The two sides hope to conclude the deal by the first week of next month, clearing the way for Secretary of State John Kerry to visit Havana soon afterwards for a flag-raising ceremony to upgrade the U.S. Interests Section to a full-scale embassy, the sources said. (more…)
