Ted Cruz is a real threat to the Fabian progressives:  educated, cultured and able to effortless pierce their shibboleths without hesitation, he is a prime target for their ongoing campaign to “isolate, marginalize and ridicule” their opposition, instead of engaging on the facts.
The following AP filed story is a classic example of how the mainstream media manipulates language and facts to advance a position in keeping with their ideological view – in this case, that all pro-life supporters are unhinged, when in fact, it was the “pro-abortion” activists who conducted themselves in an extremist and deliberately provocative fashion.  The AP led their story by implying that Senator Cruz had called pro-abortionists “Satan Worshippers”, when he stated that they were chanting “Hail Satan” at pro-life activists.

“Here is the opening graf of an AP report on “anti-abortion voters” published Wednesday:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Calling their opponents Satan worshippers and savages, anti-abortion lawmakers on Wednesday insisted that Republican contenders keep an intense focus on social issues in the upcoming midterm elections and the 2016 presidential race.

“Calling their opponents Satan worshippers.” That sounds pretty serious. Tell us more, AP: …

We knew last year the diversionary activity around the Miami-Dade School Police Department, which was coordinated, sanctioned and authorized by Miami-Dade School Superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, was illegal.
Consequently we knew a public airing of the illegal activity was a risk to all parties involved.

Now, however – the entire School Board might be legally responsible for engaging in unlawful conspiracy which resulted from the internal investigation within the M-DSPD and the School Boards’ “willful blindness” to the actual finding(s).
It doesn’t take a law degree to understand that when you intentionally construct a policy, or group of policies, which specifically hide illegal behavior you are on the wrong side of the law – even when it is the top law enforcement officer giving the instructions to do it. (more…)

I saw this earlier in the day and thought it was a spoof. Apparently not. Sheesh, the women progs are really getting desperate to stir up something, anything…. a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g
They, well… that would be Obama bundler and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, even built a website for it.   Seriously, I’m not kidding.  Ban the word “bossy”.  D’oh.
(Via ABC News)  Can banning one school-yard word really change the world? Sheryl Sandberg says yes.

I pledge to #banbossy – let's raise our girls to value leadership skills and assertiveness! http://t.co/Wyy7XOOPKy

Sandberg — the chief operating officer of Facebook and author of the best-selling book “Lean In” — is spearheading the launch of a campaign today to ban the word “bossy,” arguing the negative put-down stops girls from pursuing leadership roles. (more…)

Treon Johnson, is the star of some backyard fighting videos.  Videos that are about to be a part of a documentary on the blood sport.  He died in police custody after neighbors claimed he was beating a dog to death with a metal pipe.   He jumped onto the roof.  The Police used pepper spray and a taser to subdue him.   

Yet the media, wait for it,…. are showing pictures of  “Tre” Johnson as a young lad in a tuxedo…..   Because using one of the several previous mug shots would be too difficult I guess.  Sound familiar ?

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. –  The family of a man suspected of abusing dogs wants to know what led to his mysterious death.

Here’s a clue for ya’, he was beating a dog with a pipe after the completion of filming his latest documentary on “back yard fighting”,… DUH…. /SD

Treon Johnson died just hours after being taken into custody Thursday.  Hialeah police said a 911 caller claimed the 27-year-old man jumped into the backyard of his home and was beating his dog with a metal pipe. Witnesses told police Johnson then jumped into a neighboring yard and began beating another dog with a pipe.  (read more with wonderful NBC video of young misunderstood tuxedo wearing sweetie set to the music of violin concertos )

GEORGETOWN – D.C. Police are working to identify about a dozen teens wanted for setting up a “flash mob”-style robbery at a high-end jeans store in Georgetown two weeks ago.

Surveillance videos from Feb. 20 shows the teens entering the True Religion Brand Jeans store on M Street just before 6:30 p.m.

The teens then stuffed more than a thousand dollars worth of the jeans into bags they’d brought with them before running out of the store, in just a couple minutes.

“I can’t believe all of those people could steal something all at one time,” said Maria Suyat, an employee at the neighboring Camper shoe store. “…We’ve had plenty of people steal a few shoes just from our window display, so I can only imagine having all that merchandise taken all at once.” (more…)

Trayvon Martin was not an end, he was a beginning to an end. His death was a useful tool at a specific moment in time.  The actual goal was established long before George and Trayvon encountered each other.

Affirmative Action had run its natural course. Doors had opened and what began as an extension of the Civil Rights movement was no longer a useful tool for social engineering.
Equality in opportunity (Affirmative Action) had long been established. What was now needed was a progressive evolution to equality in outcome; enter “Disparate Impact” to take its place.
The entire construct of all the various alliances which sought benefit from using the Trayvon Martin shooting had one thing in common – the goal of social justice through equal outcomes. Zimmerman himself was irrelevant, merely a face/name to replace the worn out mantra of “the man”.
In the 60’s the Civil Rights Act was established to legislate equal opportunity. In the 70’s and 80’s Affirmative Action, or broadly “quota systems”, were put into place to leverage a social-equity in organizational entry. Through the 90’s and early part of the 21st century various studies were conducted to insure the entry opportunity was fundamentally well established. The entry was there, but for the social scientists the problem shifted to the “outcomes”. The outcomes were simply not matching the opportunities. (more…)

This story explains why the President Obama administration consider the back-story of Trayvon Martin’s criminal engagements to be a risk.

WASHINGTON DC – The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division says the “next generation” of civil rights challenges includes addressing racial disparities in school discipline; defending the rights of LGBT Americans; combating discrimination in housing and in lending; protecting women from sexual assault and harassment; ensuring the fair treatment of youth in the juvenile justice system; and defending the right to vote in the 21st Century.
“In recent months, the Civil Rights Division has reached landmark consent decrees involving each of these issues,” Jocelyn Samuels, the acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, told a civil rights symposium in Indianapolis on Tuesday. (more…)

Typical progressive mindset.  Next year Danny Glover stars in a remake of “Plan-9 from Outer Space”, a shoo-in…. 

HOLLYWOOD – If you were watching the Oscars on Sunday night, you no doubt saw Steve McQueen’s film 12 Years A Slavetake the Best Picture prize. But two Academy members revealed to the L.A. Times that they didn’t even see it, claiming that it would be an uncomfortable film for them to watch.
Instead, they voted for it because of the relevance and importance the film, which is a real-life, harrowing account of Solomon Northup’s years as a free man captured and sold into slavery in the South.
It’s ironic, considering that the job of an Academy voter is, you know, to actually watch these films before making a decision on what’s the best of the best. But it’s not entirely shocking. (more…)

Quick….someone ask Harry Reid if he still wants that “broad discussion” of civil rights in America.

Staff at the Daily Breeze were so overcome with joy they could hardly contain themselves.  They quickly went to press with a front-page headline that  read:  “‘Slave’ becomes master.”  What the paper wasn’t prepared for, however, was the barrage of criticism that would soon be coming their way.

Yet again, the PC media censor the racial aspect to the attacks.  

•In the first attack a 23 year old white male was walking home at night (video of attack here);  He was attacked by a young black male.   •In the second attack a 36 year old white female was walking at 12:30pm in broad daylight when she was attacked by four black teen males.
The news video of the second attack, on the female, which includes the CCTV footage is disturbing.   The attack is not disturbing per se, the responses from the neighbors are disturbing.  Summed up they announce “meh – whatever”.
NEW YORK – Police are looking for a suspect who walked up to a 23-year-old man on a Lower East Side street and punched him in the face early Thursday, knocking him unconscious and breaking his jaw.
The victim says he’s “frightened and frustrated” after the random attack, and is hoping the suspect is found before anyone is hurt again.
The YouTube ID of iPCvWHvK3nE?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
Authorities say the suspect sneaked up behind the victim, Kyle Rogers, near the Bowery Mission and hit him with a closed fist before running off. Rogers passed out and woke up in the ambulance with a broken jaw. Police released the surveillance video Thursday and are asking for the public’s help in tracking down the suspect, described as a black man in his 20s. (more…)
