For some unknown reason during the analysis of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State a remarkable segment of the historical reference is never brought up.   What about the WikiLeaks release of State Dept emails disparaging virtually every nation in November 2010?

[…]  The massive leak includes 243,270 reports sent by U.S. embassies around the world to the State Department, and 8,017 directives sent to them by the State Department. A vast mix of political assessments, reports of private talks with foreign officials, hearsay and gossip – including unflattering comments about leaders allied with the U.S. – the leaked cables have become a major embarrassment to the U.S. and especially Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

WikiLeaks provided the documents to six major world newspapers: the New York Times, the UK Guardian, Spain’s El Pais, France’s Le Monde and Germany’s Der Spiegel.

[…] The most explosive WikiLeaks revelation may be a classified July 2009 State Department directive, under Hillary Clinton’s name, that asked U.S. diplomatic staff at the United Nations to obtain credit card numbers, computer passwords and encryption codes, frequent-flyer account details, even “biographic and biometric information” (such as DNA, fingerprints, etc.), for UN officials, including Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and Security Council representatives, and also for personnel of nongovernmental agencies.

We keep wondering if any media outlet, or any outlet for that matter, will ever mention the entire second year of her term (2010/2011) being devoted to travelling around the world apologizing for her own staffs’ highly visible opinions. (more…)

LOS ANGELES – Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters downtown Saturday afternoon, holding signs of support for Christopher Dorner, the fired police officer suspected of killing four people. (more…)

 CHICAGO – Four separate shootings took place in the span of 90 minutes Friday evening in Chicago, the first coming less than an hour after Air Force One departed O’Hare Airport after President Obama spoke on the culture of gun violence and economic decay that plagues many cities, including his hometown.

Four people were wounded on the streets of Chicago’s South and West sides between 5:55 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. Friday, the Chicago Tribune reported. The president was airborne shortly after 5 p.m.

An hour earlier, Obama wrapped up a personal speech at Hyde Park Academy on the South Side, where he mourned the killing of Hadiya Pendleton, the teen who visited Washington for his inauguration just a week before she was gunned down not far from the school. “This is not just a gun issue. It’s also an issue of the kinds of communities that we’re building, and for that we all share a responsibility as citizens to fix it,” he said. (more…)

George Zimmerman is in the crosshairs, but only momentarily and incidentally.  Zimmerman is a political product, a product to be used as as a specific example to the rest of the cultural nation who refuse to bow to the alter of the BGI collective.  

Most of the things we are freaked about today were fully fatal 13 months, or 13 years ago: George Zimmerman’s situation caused many to notice a growing lump on our neck.   The cancer was already killing us.  The lump on the side of our neck really isn’t just a bother because it makes our shirt collars sit funny.  The cancer was metastasized long before we noticed that the shirt was sitting funny and wouldn’t button right.  We should have figured out by now that the shirt is not the problem.  The bump on the side of our neck is not the problem.  The color of the shirt is certainly not the problem. 

The problem is metastasized malignancy.

Refusing to deal with that is a choice, and refusal to make a choice in light of the facts (for fear of the unknowns that lie beyond the choice) is also a choice.   It’s all connected……

…”Moreover,  if the EEOC claims that “criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact  based on race and national origin” why should an employer suffer the  consequences of faulty decisions made by individuals?”…

Back in December we discussed a decision in New Jersey where on September 19, 2012, the Newark, New Jersey Municipal Council passed Ordinance 12-1630, “which limits employers’ ability to conduct criminal background checks.” The ordinance went into effect November 18, 2012 and “prevents employers with five or more employees who do business, employ persons or take applications for employment in the City of Newark, from asking applicants about their criminal history.” (more…)

(FULL STORY) Minneapolis South High is boasted as a progressive multicultural paradise. It is half white and half a mixture of several other groups. It has a large group of Somalians and prides itself on offering special classes for Somalians,

The joys of multiculturalism boiled over into a massive lunch hour battle involving over 200 blacks and Somalians. a small army of police had to be called in, who then hosed the rioters with pepper spray.

Local media is downplaying the war. However, students are stating on twitter that the fight was between blacks and Somalians. (more…)

Not everyone will understand the coded message in the headline.  That’s ok.

Here is the media report from yesterday’s fiasco…. (HatTip Manybuddies)

Here are some random thoughts to chew on…. (more…)

Krauthammer: I find this amazing. First of all, just hearing him say every first grader in America has to be prepared for a high-tech economy, that is a bit early, I think. The other part of this is here we are with $16 trillion in debt, a trillion dollars a year of deficits. We have created already, with under Obama, the biggest entitlement in 50 years. And now he wants to create a new entitlement for preschool for every 4-year-old in the country.

The worst part of this, this isn’t just any new entitlement. This is an entitlement in an area where we know the $7 billion a year that we spend on Head Start doesn’t make any difference after the third grade. There is a study that HHS has done that showed that. So it’s failure and yet he wants to double down and to make it universal. That’s probably a definition of a liberal.

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – A school principal said no white children were allowed at an after-school tutoring program, and now some parents call it discrimination.

The principal at Mission Viejo Elementary in Aurora sent a letter telling parents the program is only for students of color. Parents CBS4 talked with said they were shocked to see, in this day and age, what they consider to be segregation.

“I was infuriated. I didn’t understand why they would include or exclude certain groups,” said parent Nicole Cox, who is white. (more…)
