McDonalds sought to deflect pressure from the BGI and Professional Left over Franchise Law (NLRB), employment, and pay rates. So they took a proactive position and hired a black CEO. Three consecutive years of failure, dismal sales and market share losses ensued. The worst leadership run in the history of the organization.
However, now Al Sharpton and the Obama administration (using the NLRB) are likely to strike back.  Yet consider this: immediately the stock soared on the news of Thompson’s firing;  which would indicate the shareholders would rather face Sharpton/Obama than deal with a continued idiot at the helm.
BLOOMBERG – McDonald’s Corp., the world’s largest restaurant chain, will replace Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson with one of his top lieutenants following the company’s worst U.S. sales slump in more than a decade.
Chief Brand Officer Steve Easterbrook will take the reins when Thompson steps down on March 1, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said in a statement Wednesday. Easterbrook, currently a senior executive vice president, also will join the board, filling Thompson’s vacated seat, the company said. Thompson, 51, had been in the CEO job fewer than three years.
“With sales stagnant for this long, there’s been a lot of push for change,” said Will Slabaugh, an analyst at Stephens Inc. in Little Rock, Arkansas. “They had to show investors they’re serious about changing and improving sales.” (more…)

Obviously this revelation becomes a serious political risk to the White House.  However, it should come as no surprise given the history of the Qatari government.  In addition to providing sanctuary for the Gitmo-5, Qatar was the safe harbor for the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood until they were pressured to stop (by Egypt and the Gulf Arab states) – the Brotherhood leaders then left Qatar for Turkey.

Washington (CNN) – The U.S. military and intelligence community now suspect that one of the five Taliban detainees released from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt Bowe Bergdahl in May of last year has attempted to return to militant activity from his current location in Qatar, CNN has learned exclusively. The development has led to an ongoing debate inside the administration about whether there is a new threat from this man, and potentially the other four. (more…)

All of this obfuscation centers around the White House trying to deflect their political risk from exchanging the GITMO 5 terrorists for PFC Bowe Bergdahl. With ISIS holding hostages and demanding ransom from various nation states, the White House is being called out for their hypocrisy in exchanging Bergdahl for the GITMO 5.
The White House is trying to say they do not negotiate with terrorists, yet they did. Cue today’s example:

However, at the same time Josh Earnest is making this claim – yet another position outlined in the State Department. (more…)

Jessica Lane Chambers was born on February 2nd 1995. Next week she would have been 20-years-old however, she was brutally murdered on December 6th and despite a $53,000 reward the lead investigator, District Attorney John Champion, shares the case is at a standstill.
With no new evidence surfacing, it makes you wonder why the DA would be reluctant to provide the full CCTV video from her last known location – At this point, what would the police have to lose.
MISSISSIPPI – […] The brutal death of the happy teen with the sunny disposition almost two months ago has turned Courtland and Batesville upside down as people have tried to make sense of it, and tried to figure out not if there’s a killer in their midst, but who it might be.
Chambers was found on Herron Road in Courtland a little after 8 p.m. on Dec. 6, walking away from her burning vehicle with burns over 98 percent of her body. She died of those wounds. (more…)

President Obama is more than willing to give Cuba each of the three demands, the only question is the timing for giving up GITMO – and the number of billions we give them.
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Cuban President Raul Castro demanded on Wednesday that ♦ the United States return the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, ♦ lift the half-century trade embargo on Cuba and ♦ compensate his country for damages before the two nations re-establish normal relations.
Castro told a summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States that Cuba and the U.S. are working toward full diplomatic relations but “if these problems aren’t resolved, this diplomatic rapprochement wouldn’t make any sense.”
Castro and President Obama announced on Dec. 17 that they would move toward renewing full diplomatic relations by reopening embassies in each other’s countries. The two governments held negotiations in Havana last week to discuss both the reopening of embassies and the broader agenda of re-establishing normal relations. (more…)

Eric Holder’s replacement holds the same, the exact same, legal world view as AG Eric Holder. Additionally, I find it interesting than none of the “Senators” find it valuable to ask for Lynch’s legal view on “Disparate Impact”.
However, her view is evident in the answer to this question. The ideological point at the end of the perspective essentially outlines that it is unlawful to ask for the legal work status of employment applicants. This protects the illegal alien from employment disqualification, and bars the employer to finding out the legal work status.
WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General of the United States, Loretta Lynch, said on Wednesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing that she thinks illegal aliens have the same right to work in America as American citizens do.

“Senator, I believe the right and the obligation to work is one that is shared by everyone in this country, regardless of how they came here,” Lynch said when asked by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) who has a greater right to work: Illegal aliens, or lawful immigrants and American citizens? (more…)

With this decision, soon Massachusetts will see an underground business of “leverage enterprises” whose efforts will provide a criminal client with the best possible outcome through the use of social networking, social media and community pressure based on advertising, broadcasting, the juror’s duty..
The juror’s business and/or employment will be targeted.  Social, Civic Clubs, and Academic institutions can also be leveraged against the juror… Just watch…
WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP)– In a decision made Tuesday, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the names of jurors who serve in criminal cases are to be available to the public.

The new ruling means that if you serve on a jury, your name will become public record by the end of the trial at the latest, but the decision that isn’t sitting well with everyone. (more…)

Charles Blow is a racial antagonist, it’s what he does – it’s all he does. He wrote at length about how angry he was because his son was detained by a Yale Campus Police Officer – #BlackLivesMatter and #FTP in full swing. However, what he didn’t say was that the Campus officer was black, and/or that the Campus police Chief is also black.
Guess that doesn’t support his narrative….
(VIA WASHINGTON EXAMINER) On Saturday, Blow wrote on Twitter that he was “fuming” over a call he received from his son, a third-year student at Yale. He wrote that his son was “accosted” and held up at gunpoint by a Yale policeman because he fit the description of a suspect. Blow’s son, Tahj Blow, is an ecology and evolutionary biology major, according to the Yale Daily News.
In follow-up tweets related to the incident, Blow said, “This is exactly why I have no patience for people trying to convince me that the fear these young black men feel isn’t real.” He also tweeted the phrases “I can’t breathe” and “Black lives matter,” both of which are associated with two unarmed black men killed by white police officers in separate incidents in Missouri and New York.

Gee, ya think?

Libya is still arguably one of the least understood results from team Clinton/Obama. So here’s a quick recap summary. (more…)

According to Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings, Hillary Clinton is eager to present herself for testimony to the Congressional Select Benghazi Committee. Obviously the Democrats  would prefer it to be ASAP -and- we predict within a few weeks you will see a shift in strategy which will put Gowdy solidly back on his heels and marginalize his position.
According to Trey Gowdy the State Department is hiding documents and blocking witness testimony – which he demands prior to interviewing Hillary Clinton.  The Democrats scoff at his claims saying bazillions of pages, hearings, testimonials, and documents have been provided.  Cummings is playing Chess, Gowdy is playing checkers.
The White House, the State Department, and the Democrats on the panel have a well-planned strategy to derail any political risk stemming from Benghazi; and even though I know many readers are fans of Gowdy, it appears he is being played like a finely tuned instrument.
