Weird story and even more weird explanation/apology. Ego, I guess.

(Via The Hill) Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald falsely claimed that he served in a military special forces unit, he admitted to the Huffington Post.

When a homeless veteran told McDonald in a conversation captured by CBS that he had served in special forces, the head of the VA replied that he had, too. The conversation aired during a CBS News story chronicling how the agency is working to house homeless veterans.

“I have no excuse,” McDonald told The Huffington Post. “I was not in special forces.”

He added that he “reacted spontaneously” and “wrongly [with] no intent in any way to describe my record as any different than it is.” (more…)

Benjamin Crump the family legal representative from: The Martin Lee Anderson case (2006); The Trayvon Martin shooting (2012); The Kendrick Johnson case (2013); and the Mike Brown shooting (2014), is heading to Washington State to represent the family of, and financial justice for, Antonio Zambrano-Montes’ (2015).  BACKSTORY

Ben Crump is half of the legal team from Parks and Crump law firm. Each of the previously mentioned cases were complete fabrications of “wrongful death“.

The Martin Lee Anderson (2006) and Trayvon Martin (2012 – Zimmerman) cases actually became criminal cases due to the claims of Ben Crump and the developing ‘Scheme Team”.  However, neither case resulted in a successful criminal prosecution.

Despite the failure of the Anderson and Zimmerman cases criminally, the State of Florida, and Bay County, did pay Crump off to go away in the Anderson case (State $5 million, Bay County $2.4 million).  Likewise an insurance carrier for the Zimmerman Home Owners Association paid Crump for the same reason in 2013 ($1.6 million).

James O’Keefe puts together a research video on Al Sharpton from the perspective of those inside the families he claims to advocate for. The overall video is ok, but in my opinion James has spotlighted the wrong genre in the professional Black Grievance Industry. (more after video)

(Via Project Veritas) Here’s our new video showing how the families and attorneys of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown really feel about Rev. Al Sharpton. Additionally, local clergy and others express their opinions about how Sharpton exploits tragedy for personal gain.

Accepting the timeline as presented, and accepting the 7:31pm USMS geo-location, one has to wonder.  “Right house, wrong Eric”? Surely, the police could not be that naïve. Surely they know there’s another Eric, a younger Eric, at the same residence.

Surely…. right?

This argument was made by all reasonable people back when the White House decided it was more politically opportune to trade GITMO detainees for Bowe Bergdahl. The newsworthy aspect is the confirmation from the other hostage’s family.

WASHINGTON DC – The brother of an American woman who was killed after spending months as a hostage of Islamic State militants says Kayla Mueller’s situation worsened after the government [Obama] traded five Taliban commanders for a captive U.S. soldier.

The militants increased their demands after the May swap for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Eric Mueller told NBC’s “Today” in an interview that aired Monday.

“That made the whole situation worse because that’s when the demands got greater,” he said. “They got larger. They realized that they had something.”

Mueller’s death was confirmed Feb. 10 by her family and U.S. officials. The Islamic State group claimed she died in a Jordanian airstrike, but U.S. officials have not confirmed that. The Pentagon said it didn’t know how she was killed. (more…)

The Associated Press is outlining the construct of the final negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. In essence, the short version is that Iran is going to be able to produce nuclear weapons, period.

GENEVA (AP) – The United States and Iran are shaping the contours of a deal that would initially freeze Tehran’s nuclear program but would allow it to slowly ramp up activities that could be used to make nuclear arms over the last years of the agreement’s duration. (read more)

Despite the incredible ramifications, and the very predictable arms race now virtually certain in the region, this should not come as a surprise.

Iran had to work swiftly, while President Obama was still in office and the U.S. is in a weakened state, due to the specifically intentional policies of the Obama administration. There have been many indicators of this outcome over the past several months and years.

Last August the reality of Iran gaining a nuclear weapon became assured when President Obama told the New York Times oh well, “we tried“. (more…)

Given the entire foundation surrounding Jonathan Gruber’s expertise is based on lies, deceptions and false presentations, does it really come as a surprise that he billed various state governments for products and services he neither produced nor serviced?

Vermont got “Grubered” !

According to Vermont Media: Vermont officials ignored “obvious signs” of problematic billing by health care economist Jonathan Gruber, the state auditor said in a memo released Monday.

Gruber’s invoices lacked important details and claimed dubious numbers of work hours as he prepared economic models for a single-payer health care system — but state officials failed to scrutinize the invoices, Auditor Doug Hoffer wrote.

It has been over two years since 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson went to the Lowndes County High gym around 1 p.m. As evidence indicated, Johnson climbed up on top of a stack of gym mats to reach for shoes he’d left behind – he fell head first into the rolled up mats, became stuck, and died as a result of positional asphyxia.

However, that determination didn’t sit well with the family of Kendrick Johnson, nor did an “accidental death” fit with the narrative needed by the law firm of Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump in order to get the customary wrongful death lawsuits’ off the ground.

What the family of Kendrick Johnson most likely didn’t know was for Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump the timing of January 2013 was not the best.

January 2013, for the professional race-baiting antagonists, was a time of consternation, trepidation and worry. January, 2013 was a time when the pre-trial discoveries for the case against George Zimmerman were taking place. (more…)

The Associated Press and Reuters wire services both sent forth a story of 1,000 to 1,300 Muslims proclaiming solidarity against Islamic Terror by joining hands around an Oslo synagogue in a visible “protection” PR campaign.  The story held all the feel good, touchy, feely, warm and fuzzy sentiments the collectivists love to promote… except.

Except it wasn’t real, it never happened, it was totally fabricated by the media. There were only around “20 or so” Muslims who showed up, the other 980 to 1,280 were completely made up by the media.

BREITBART – The weekend’s feel-good story about a Muslim “ring of peace” formed to “protect” Jews at an Oslo synagogue turned out to be a complete fabrication by the mainstream media, according to an eyewitness report, local officials, and attendees’ photos.

According to a local eyewitness, only about 20 or so Muslims formed the “ring of peace” around the Oslo synagogue. In fact, pictures from multiple angles show that there wasn’t enough people to form a ring, so the locals instead formed a horizontal line in front of the synagogue.

Because it’s oh so enlightening and progressive to wax yearningly about the plight of the oppressed and downtrodden, the Huffington Post pontificates the dream of erasing the oppressive White Man from the Oscar’s…

(Via HuffPo) This year marks the whitest Oscars since 1998, with all 20 acting nominations given to white folks. Equally awesome: Zero female directors, screenwriters, or cinematographers were nominated, and according to Women’s Media Center, among the 184 nominees across 19 non-acting categories, only 35 are women.

And so the Academy Award goes to… white dudes. This stark imbalance in both racial and gender diversity in Hollywood is manifested visually on the posters that represent the biggest films of the year. More often than not, white men are selected as the representatives for the movies they star in, even when they have equally signifigant female costars. (read more)
