The U.S. State Department is set to officially identify another harbor for John Kerry’s boat storage during the winter. The Frank Marshall Davis Golf and Tennis Resort.

Today POTUS submitted to Congress statutorily required report & certifications indicating Admin’s intent to rescind #Cuba’s SSOT designation

— Obama NSC- Archived (@NSC44) April 14, 2015

The president informed Congress of his intent to remove Cuba from the ‘State Sponsors of Terror’ list, a key step in his push to normalize relations with Havana. Lawmakers have 45 days to review the president’s decision before it can be formally approved.

At first hitch last night I thought this was some weird parody; however, after visiting WFB today we note unfortunately, it’s not.

A randomly innocuous, comfortably invisible, woman in the Dallas area wrote on her Facebook page an opinion that “A Female Shouldn’t Be President”.

Now, it is important to reiterate here the Facebook writer is just, well, no-one really.  Just your average woman going about her life and sharing an opinion on Facebook with her friends and family.

What happens next really exemplifies how low journalism in this era has become.  A CBS outlet sent a reporter to track down the woman and shove a questioning camera in her face.  (more…)

~ A Humorous Tale Of Competing Narratives ~

Since we identified the Walter Scott passenger as Pierre Fulton, we must have caught Ryan Julison a little off guard – because an odd and somewhat humorous dynamic surfaces.  The first media entity to inquire about passenger Mr. Pierre Fulton gets the following background from his family:

(Via Daily Mail) […]  Meanwhile, the man who was in the car when Walter Scott was flagged down by police before being gunned down was identified today as drifter Pierre Fulton.

[…]  Pierre’s family said they had no idea why he was in the car and how he came to be friends with the shooting victim. His grand mother Eunice Fulton, 70, said: ‘I spoke with my daughter Franetta on Thursday and Pierre had only just told her he was in the car. ‘It was a terrible incident but we haven’t had the chance to speak to him about it. He used to live with me until a couple of years ago. But I don’t where he hangs out now. He moves around.’

[…] His grandmother added: ‘He is a good grandson. He cares for his family. But I don’t know what he is doing now.’ Pierre has worked as a cleaner, laundry man and warehouseman over the years, but some members of his family have lost touch with him.

Rosanne Grant of Alternative Staffing employment agency told Daily Mail Online: ‘ He worked at various jobs over the period of a year through me. The last time I hear about him was in 2006 and nothing since. I don’t know what he has been working at.’ (link)

Yikes, it appears the Daily Mail got out a little ahead of the preferred story.  However, when you look at the picture of Pierre Fulton provided by the image consultants (ie. lawyers and Ryan Julison) the goal of the optical engineers is transparent.

Drifter?  Unemployed? We can’t have any of that. (more…)

The first advocacy for “The Safari Principle” surfaced prior to the George Zimmerman trial, in the summer of 2012, when the professionally aggrieved first began the meme: “He shouldn’t have gotten out of his car”.

Historically we used to blame the victim by saying he/she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, politically it became too difficult to define where the wrong places were, and simultaneously legislators continued to struggle defining the right vs. wrong times people were allowed to be in these places.

In order to protect the criminal class a more specific rule was needed.

After various opinions were considered eventually the advocates settled upon The Safari Principle – A selected narrative used throughout 2012/2013 as a point of advocacy driving home the belief that George Zimmerman had no right to follow, then exit his vehicle, when he saw a suspicious Trayvon Martin peering through windows and casing houses.

The “Safari Principle” evolved to further claim ‘if you do get out of your car, you deserve what you get’ with the implication by the left-wingers’  that young black males cannot control their behavior. (more…)

The body language of delivery is as telling as the construct within the notes of continual reference.

One of the Atlanta Public School officials who was convicted in the largest national school cheating scandal in U.S. history – appeared before a Judge today: 

(Via AJS) Convicted APS educator Donald Bullock, a former test coordinator with the school system, asked the judge to show leniency and not sentence him to jail time.

Bullock – who was the second convicted APS educator to address Judge Jerry Baxter at Monday’s sentencing hearing — asked if he could instead provide community service and be placed on probation.

“I’m appealing to the compassionate side of you,” Bullock said. “I know you’re a man of compassion.”  “I ask you to grant leniency to me… My livelihood is gone.” (link)

Here comes the sketchy political problem. The Guardian has published Dash Cam audio conversation(s) between South Carolina Police Officer Michael Slager immediately after the shooting of Walter Scott.

According to The Guardian:  “Patrolman Michael Slager appeared to laugh nervously in the discussion with a senior officer after fatally shooting Scott in North Charleston on 5 April. A recording of their conversation was obtained by the Guardian“.

There is only one way for the Guardian to gain such a recording.  Directly from the investigative unit of South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), the state entity doing the investigative oversight.

SLED is not a police agency – they are a political entity:

The primary mission of the State Law Enforcement Division is to provide quality manpower and technical assistance to law enforcement agencies and to conduct investigations on behalf of the state as directed by the Governor and Attorney General.  (link)

The South Carolina Walter Scott shooting -by Police Officer Michael Slager- is absolutely filled with intentionally missing elements in an effort by ALL INTERESTED PARTIES to sell a narrative useful for their purposes. (more…)

The tone of the same old Hillary Clinton political outlook did not take long to surface. Today on Meet The Press New York Mayor Deblasio was given an opportunity to endorse Hillary 2016. De Blasio said he would not yet endorse her:

Immediately the Hillary Clinton attack machine jumped into action: (more…)

Garry Kasparov: Negative impact. I think we are now facing disaster beyond belief. Obama should understand that normalization of relations with any country means a two-way street. And now we can see it in only one way. The deal with Iran, we hear two opposite stories. And not just about little things here or there; not commas and a couple letters.

You know, the fundamental differences in most of the substantial points in the deal. Then he shakes hands with Raul Castro. Shaking hands with a dictator, you know a hand covered in blood. You have to get something in exchange. There are still hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners in Cuba. It seems Obama wants his PR opportunities and he’s furiously defending his policy attacking GOP, attacking… while offering an olive branch to those who are attacking the values of the free world around the globe.
