MARYLAND – A high school graduation in Maryland is gaining national attention for the immaturity of the adults in attendance rather than the success of the students onstage.

A massive brawl broke out outside Towson University’s SECU Center on Tuesday after the Randallstown High School class of 2014 took the stage for their diplomas, according to local media.

Full-grown men and women were exchanging punches while their embarrassed children looked on in graduation gowns.

In a statement Friday morning after the meeting, Mr. Obama said that Mr. Shinseki had offered his resignation from the post he has held since the beginning of the president’s administration. “With regret, I accepted,” Mr. Obama said.

Another Prog vanity project swirls down the drain …. glug, glug, glug …..

According to the NY Post, NPR has cancelled its racial issues  show “Tell Me More” due to lack of interest and any real audience or meaningful corporate sponsorship. (!)

The show, which ran on the taxpayer subsidized radio network for seven years (As an aside, can you think of any other event that happened, oh, about seven years ago, coincidentally timed to the launch of a radio show based on lecturing/hectoring white people about “race” that may have had some influence over an organization that depends upon generous federal government financial support for survival? Remember to write your answer in the form of a question!)

“Tell Me More”,  produced at the NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C.  was a production of NPR News in association with the African American Public Radio Consortium, representing 20 independent public radio stations that serve predominantly black communities.  (more…)

While the national media continue to re-run the various nuance stories stemming from shooter Eliot Rogers (shot 3 people, and stabbed 3 others, killing 6 in California), there have been three other mass shootings the same weekend without so much as a snippet of attention on CNN or other National Media.

•  The First non-reported shootings were in Myrtle Beach where 10 people where shot, and 3 killed, during memorial day “Bike Week“.  (link)

•  The Second silent shooting was in Tampa/Clearwater Florida where a crowd of 15 people at a hotel came under fire from another gunman, again on Memorial day this time four people where shot. Luckily no-one was killed.  (link)

•  The Third unmentionable was in New Orleans, Louisiana, where a group of 150 people were gathered to celebrate a graduation. A solo gunman opened fire on the crowd killing one and wounding seven others.  (link)

Why did you hear about the California shooting but not hear about the other mass shootings ?    You decide.

Nothing but a blurb…. Another beat down.  Again, no motive.   Just two white folk jumped by random group of five to eight black teens passing by.   Nothing to see here, move along folks, move along… Pay no attention to the media man behind the curtain.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) –  Cincinnati Police are investigating two alleged assaults at approximately 12:02 a.m. Sunday on West Ninth Street downtown.

Police said five to eight suspects jumped, punched and kicked a person who was helping his sister back out of a parking space at 8 W. Ninth St. Police said the victim’s girlfriend attempted to help but was struck in the head.

The suspects are described as black males, ages 15 to 18. One suspect had braids coming out of the back of his baseball cap  (read more).

According to a whistle-blowing Op Ed piece published in the Wall Street Journal, doctors and residents in the VA system were prevented from providing care to patients if their actions were deemed to be “making federal workers look bad” :

…”Scott Barbour, an orthopedic surgeon and a friend, trained at the Miami VA hospital. In an attempt to get more patients onto the operating-room schedule, he enlisted fellow residents to clean the operating rooms between cases and transport patients from their rooms into the surgical suites….

Instead of offering praise for their industriousness, the Chief of Surgery reprimanded the doctors and put a stop to their actions. From his perspective, they were not solving a problem but were making federal workers look bad and creating more work for others, like nurses, who had to take care of more post-op patients.”

Imagine that!  Nurses having to take care of more post-op patients!  You’d think they were working in a hospital or something…. It’s not like they can adjust their census to account for that, or anything. /s/.  But, wait, there’s more ……

CNN Busted using CNNi (CNN International Edition) to create gun poll asking international readers if The United States needs more gun restrictions.

The result of which, as you can surmise, would probably be pontificated about as a “New CNN Gun Poll” showing increasing support for gun restrictions… Blah, Blah, Blah…

In her New York Times op-ed, Michelle Obama attacks the GOP-led Congress for what she sees as attempts “to undo so much of what we’ve accomplished on behalf of our children,” citing proposed tweaks to the Women, Infants and Children program, known as WIC.

She accuses the GOP-led House of wanting to “override science” by mandating that white potatoes be included in a list of foods women can purchase under WIC if they choose.

“…updated government data show women and children aren’t consuming nearly enough potatoes…”

How dare the extremist republicans allow women to choose their own nutrition !

 Via Neal Boortz  […]  We’re going to talk about elephants. Not the GOP kind of elephant, but actual big-eared lumbering wild African elephants (loxodonta Africana) living in Africa, as African elephants are predisposed to do.

These particular elephants are living in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya, where they have been the subjects of some rather extensive studies by people who extensively study elephants. I learned of the results of these studies reading an article by Virginia Morell of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Let’s get to the (elephant) meat of this study.

The elephants in question are living in close proximity to two different African tribes; the Maasai and the Kamba. The men from these tribes differ in dress, language, and, more importantly, how they treat the elephants. Maasai men sometimes kill the elephants. It seems the Maasai don’t particularly appreciate the elephants attacking Maasai tribesmen and their cows. The Kamba men, on the other hand, are gentle farmers who live among, but do not threaten, the elephants. Perhaps they don’t own cows. (more…)
