I highly doubt this goes unnoticed by the media:

It appears Murdoch was trying to provide an assist to Fox News larger political objectives , by defending Ben Carson (amid current controversy) and promoting the Carsons’ interview with Murdoch’s princess Megyn Kelly (below).  However, the content of this comment appears targeted to disparage President Obama.

Bye Bye Donut Shop !!

What was once considered an outlier event, refusing service to a police officer, is now becoming common place amid the national franchise chain of Dunkin Donuts restaurants.
Adding to the frequency, two more separate events in this weekend; one in Rhode Island and another in Connecticut.

In one event an employee refused to serve a police officer and the owner overhead the denial:

[…] According to the police report, the employee noticed the officer at the back of the line and she loudly said, “he didn’t get the message, we don’t serve cops here,” according to police.
The officer left the busy store without any further interaction with employees, and as he returned to his car, the store’s manager and the employee approached him, offering apologies for the comment, police said. The employee said she was joking.

In October of 2013 a 14-year-old student named Philip Chism, beat, raped and murdered his teacher, Colleen Ritzer, his trial begins this week.  His defense is claiming the teacher used a “trigger word”.

At the time of the initial murder, the brutality of the attack created some intensely horrific potential headlines.  As a consequence the politically correct LEO and Massachusetts media, needed to avoid the uncomfortable racial aspect, and documented Chism as “white” with “dark complexion”.  Backstory HERE and HERE.
After his arrest, Chism was sent to a juvenile detention facility.  While at the juvie facility Chism stalked and attacked a female staff worker at the detention center.  As a consequence he was re-arrested (with additional charges pending) and removed to a high security prison without the possibility for bail. He is being tried as an adult.
Chism initially confessed to killing Ritzer, his algebra teacher, when being questioned by authorities.  However, the judge disallowed his confession based on the potential for him not understanding his right to remain silent. (more…)

Oregon Shooting at Umpqua Community College:

• #1  Original Event Thread – Including shooter history
• #2  Follow-up Information on shooter background, media and family
• #3  Father Interview, Mother hiding, Manifesto kept secret

Matthew Smith is the 18-year-old student who Umpqua Community College shooter, Christopher Mercer, selected to take possession of an envelope containing a manifesto and computer flash drive.
It is apparent from a CNN video interview with Matthew Smith’s mother, Summer Smith, that she (they) have been given instructions not to discuss what Matthew was given.  See Video:

Many interests within the body politic continue to tell us all there’s a necessary dividing line between Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, progressives or constitutionalists.  Indeed, if you were to force yourself to watch any number of hours of current news punditry you’d probably walk away with the same understanding.

However, I come here today not to showcase our difference but rather to highlight our common cause.
Throughout the course of my life you and I have each found value in our mutual interests; each serving the other with a clear understanding that we both can benefit from a relationship based on mutual respect and appreciation for the value of labor.
In a larger sense there is a connection that binds us beyond the threads which connect your well-earned individual federation patch to your jacket.  Each person here today is a single member of a larger construct aimed to benefit the group by raising the tides of all ships with as much equality as possible.
But beneath the patches and affiliations there is a larger connective tissue; a connection which flows deeper than economics; a connection that exists larger than the value of our labor; a patriotic connection which binds us all as – Americans. (more…)

Many of you may remember the name “Umar Lee” aka “Bret Lee” from the Ferguson protests in 2014.   In the months of Ferguson Black Lives Matter protests, Umar Lee surfaced as a rather unstable fellow who called on his BLM cohorts to engage in violence.
Umar Lee is now running for Mayor within the City of Saint Louis. See Video:

“You shall not pass” – So say the people of Finland as they turn away “refugees” trying to make their way into their country.  Remarkable similarities to when the feds were trying to ship the illegal aliens around the U.S.  Communities blocking the passage.

FINLAND – More than hundred people gathered on Saturday in Torneå to protest against immigration. YLE’s reporter, Jessica Stolzmann, reports that there were many Finnish flags and people of all ages in place.
Just before 13 o’clock the participants formed a human wall on the Finnish side of the border between Sweden and Finland.
– We are opposed to so many asylum seekers coming to Finland. They have come through lots of safe European countries before they reached Finland, and they should have stayed there, said a middle-aged couple to YLE, during the demonstration. (more…)

(Hat Tip WeaselZippers) You might remember this lady from her memorial day flag stomping.  Video of arrest follows article.
CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Clayton County police are investigating threats against officers made by a woman in videos posted on the Internet.
Police say the woman who made the Internet threats lives a mile-and-a-half from a Clayton County police station.
The videos are filled with profanity and hate for white people.
The woman in the video, Latausha Nedd, who goes by the name Eye Empress Sekhmet, calls for a war on not only white people, but she advocates shooting police officers.
“I say let’s have a take a gun day, and start walking up on these untrained and stealing their weapons,” Nedd said.
“You really want people to kill cops?” Channel 2’s Tom Jones asked Nedd. (more…)
