This is really an epic display of prog-logic. I’m generally neutral on Juan Williams because he’s a centrist about 25% of the time. But sometimes his liberalism needle just gets fundamentally stuck-on-stupid. This is one of those times.

Watch how Williams spins the framework of Attorney Eric Holder approving and authorizing the direct Rosen subpoena. The non-judicially reviewed subpoena targeted all of Fox news reporter, James Rosen’s business phone, personal phone, email, and phone records of his entire geographic family including his parents, under the auspices of Rosen being an unindicted co-conspirator to criminal activity; The charge: Domestic Terrorism.

Yet here’s Juan Williams on one hand saying the charges are ridiculous – and obviously done to target a journalist under the most horrible of intentions – yet on the other hand saying it’s really not Eric Holder’s issue, and Holder can/should investigate himself.

*Note* Holder approved of the filing by the Asst Attorney General;  He approved of the charge, the content, and the scope of the investigation.   Holder signed off on the affidavit authorizing it.    Hello?….. Holder already approved the aspects Williams is saying Holder should investigate….

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.“

If I were to describe to you a social event which dictated a historical need for tens of thousands of labor hours from the Police, always ended with hundreds of arrests, was viewed as dangerous by the local citizenry, and which needed so much law enforcement for safety that private citizens willingly paid for the cops, complete strangers, to stay at their homes just so they could feel safe; You’d probably think I was crazy right?

What if we told you in addition to the above, in less than a 20 block radius the police were going to:

1. Install  18 continually monitored live CCTV cameras 24/7
2. Put 600 police officers in that same area – borrowing 200 from other towns.
3. Pre-install automatic license plate readers connected to Homeland Security.
4. Erect two dozen police staffed watchtowers.
5. Spend $140,000 to “rent” tanks and light armored vehicles with FLIR.
6. In total spend around $1,800,000.00 not including overtime for 4 days.

Consider this year’s event:

It has yet to really start, and yet – Police arrested 51 people [so far] between 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday afternoon.

Additionally – The police department has on loan a $140,000 all-terrain vehicle used in the military. The vehicle can use Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) to detect body heat nearly a mile away.

I mean what local government would keep subjecting themselves to the risks associated with allowing such a festival to take place year after year, knowing full well the same historical outcome would be repeated?   Why would they put themselves, and by consequence their community, through such intentional anxiety?

Jim Hoft has a great post up at GateWayPundit about exposing the strategy of the DSCC (Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee).    In essence this outlines EXACTLY what we said last week they were going to do – it’s just how they roll.

It’s important to note these are not campaign PAC’s, or merely affiliate entities of the Democrat party, like Think Progress or Media Matters et al.   These are the ACTUAL and OFFICIAL statements from the Democrat Party itself.

The Progs are seriously distraught about how the scandals of using official political power to attack the conservative movement is actually creating a backlash.   More people now are openly understanding how Conservatives have been, and continue to be, targeted, in an official capacity, by the Administration of President Obama.

Previously, the left-of-center crowd (ie blue dogs) thought these Tea Party claims were merely “tin foil hat” type of conspiracy theory.   Now the Independents, and moderate Democrats are realizing it’s not wild conspiracy, it’s true.

(Via Breitbart)  On Wednesday, House hearings on the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) political targeting of conservative groups uncovered a startling revelation about the interview process used to construct the Inspector General’s report: Obama donor-turned-IRS director of tax exempt organizations Holly Paz sat in on 36 of 41 interviews with IRS employees.

“Why was Holly Paz… in almost all of the interviews you conducted?” asked Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC). “Why would you have someone from the IRS in those meetings? Is that proper protocol?”

“I am unaware of it,” said Inspector General J. Russell George. “This is the first I’ve heard this.” (more…)

Don West files response to State regarding the relevancy of discovery evidence for Trayvon Martin’s background, conduct, associations, drug use, gun ownership, criminal records etc. It is, after all, a self-defense defense; Meaning the actions of the other party led to the consequences to them by the response from the other.

At this point in the pre-trial discovery this latest motion by the defense, seeking sanctions against the State Prosecutors, is, unfortunately, really just an exercise in futility.

Is the State of Florida manipulating discovery? Yes.   Are they failing to release Brady Material? Yes.   Is their action intentional and willful? Yes.   Should it be stopped? Yes.

Does Judge Nelson care? No. (more…)

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the warrant that allowed the Justice Department to search Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal email, NBC News’ Michael Isikoff reported Thursday.

The report places Holder at the center of one of the most controversial clashes between the press and the government in recent memory. The warrant he approved named Rosen as a “co-conspirator” in a leak investigation, causing many to warn that the Justice Department was potentially criminalizing journalism. The warrant also approved the tracking of Rosen’s movements in and out of the State Department, as well as his communications with his source, Stephen Kim. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – REPORT 1 – Lois Lerner, the Internal Revenue Service’s director of exempt organizations, has been placed on administrative leave, according to a source in the agency’s Cincinnati office.

Lerner on Thursday afternoon sent an e-mail to employees in the exempt organizations division she oversees stating, “Due to the events of recent days, I am on administrative leave starting today. An announcement will be made shortly informing you who will be acting while I am on administrative leave. I know all of you will continue to support EO’s mission during these difficult times.” She concluded, “I thank you for all your hard work and dedication,” adding, “The work you do is important.”  (LINK)

One thing is certain, while you will find the media may report on the defense discovery release, and most will probably describe it, none of them will actually directly share it with the general public.   In essence remaining complicit in the guise and retaining the prior false perspective on the shooting….  example:  The Huffington Post

… and so the pushback continues – the search for truth continues –  As with the prior discovery discussion, here is what has been released.  What do you find mostly important in this discovery release?
