(Daily Mail) Four of France’s most revered cartoonists – Stephane Charbonnier, Georges Wolinski, Bernard ‘Tignous’ Verlhac and Jean Cabut – were among 12 people executed by masked gunmen in Paris today at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Two masked men brandishing Kalashnikovs burst into the magazine’s headquarters this morning, opening fire on staff, also shooting dead contributor Bernard Maris, 68.
Police officers were involved in a gunfight with the ‘calm and highly disciplined men’, who escaped in a hijacked car, speeding away towards east Paris. (more…)

I agree with everything this guy says about the Republican party and his sentiment, except the date. The date the principled conservative movement actually lost any hope of reforming the Republican party was May 20th 2014.  This is the same exact date that Jeb Bush became the absolute guaranteed GOP candidate for 2016.

Everything between May 20th 2014 and November 8th 2016 is baked into the cake. 

(Bell News) The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.
Over the past 40 plus years of life I have been fed the line that if a person doesn’t vote for the Republicans then the Democrats will win. Or if we start a third party it will split the vote and the Democrats will win. (more…)

Mayor De Blasio declared 2014 a victory for reducing serious crime throughout New York City. However, what he didn’t say was that serious crime has skyrocketed since December 8th, when De Blasio declared his allegiance to, and support for, the FTP movement:

NEW YORK – Last year really went out with a bang, according to police statistics obtained by The Post on Monday.
The NYPD data showed a 55 percent spike in homicides during the final weeks of 2014, which were marked by turmoil including anti-cop protests in the wake of the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases that boiled over with the assassination of two officers on patrol. (more…)

At a certain point you shift from discussing the ‘existence of’, and begin to question the ‘magnitude of’ the cultural disconnect…  I mean SERIOUSLY, what exactly did they think was going to happen to the 2, 5 and 7 year old ?….
FLORIDA – Three young children spent seven hours alone in a car in a Walmart parking lot after their parents were arrested and accused of shoplifting at the store, authorities said.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, Tosheba Hope, 30, and Gerald Moultrie, 24, were arrested about 7 p.m. Monday at the Walmart at 3001 N. State Road 7 and accused of grand theft.
After being arrested, the two failed to mention that three children —ages 2, 5, and 7— were waiting for them in their parked car, said Gina Carter, a Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman. Hope is the mother of the three children; Moultrie is the father of one of them, she said.
The children were discovered about 2 a.m. Tuesday by a store employee who then searched for their parents inside the store. The children were upset and crying, but not physically hurt, Carter said. (more…)

I guarantee you if this kid was reading the Koran, the teacher would not have told him to put it away.

Cultural Marxism Strikes Again – (Via Truth Revolt) A 12-year-old Missouri middle-schooler was told by his teacher that reading the Bible during free time is prohibited.
Loyal Grandstaff’s father said his son’s freedoms of religion and speech were both violated. He is reaching out to the school for answers, according to WDAF-TV.
The boy told the news station:

I like to read my Bible because it’s a good book. I was just reading, just reading because I had free time. A time to do what I wanted to, so I just broke it out and read.

Loyal said he wanted to read the Bible during free time because he feels encouraged by it. He stated that he wasn’t reading aloud or sharing the book with any other classmates when his teacher approached and told him to put it away. (read more)

The Keystone Pipeline has the support of 68% of all Americans and President Obama has vowed to kill any efforts toward it.    Some people ask why would Obama take a position so far away from the American electorate?   
I quietly respond: when ObamaCare was constructed 74% of the nation opposed it – what ‘the majority want’ has nothing to do with what progressives do.  They do what they want.  
WASHINGTON DC – The White House said on Tuesday that it would veto legislation that approves construction of the Keystone XL pipeline if it passes Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to make a bill that green lights the $8 billion oil sands project the first item to hit President Obama’s desk this year. (more…)

Moonbats’ seek a cradle to grave nanny state….
(Via ABC) As anyone who has grown up around snow knows, part of the fun of sledding is the risk of soaring off a jump or careening around a tree.
But faced with the potential bill from sledding injuries, some cities have opted to close hills rather than risk large liability claims.
No one tracks how many cities have banned or limited sledding, but the list grows every year. One of the latest is in Dubuque, Iowa, where the City Council is moving ahead with a plan to ban sledding in all but two of its 50 parks. (more…)

Day #29 is HERE

Today marks the one month anniversary of the attack against Jessica Lane Chambers. Here’s the latest from the lead investigator Mississippi (District #17) District Attorney John Champion: (more…)

Yesterday, we shared that Weasel Zippers had located and distributed the #BlackBrunch planning and coordination guide. Apparently this exposure to sunlight infuriated the organizers, and a DDoS attack was launched against Zippers taking down their servers for 10+ hours.
Now that Zippy is back up and running, there’s only one thing left to do.
Here it is again:

Because 108,000 people read it here yesterday, and 19,000 people read it via the SCRIBD account.  So we added it to the CTH SCRIBD library, just to present additional highlights… And, as with all pdf documents we upload to the SCRIBD account, you can share, email or download – or, well, actually, do whatever you want with them, they’re free.   Just saying.

The left-wing media machine is striking out against Sharyl Attkisson for filing suit.  However, what the professional left fail to address is the ever present question: what other venue for redress does Attkisson have?  The DOJ obtusely denies the claim stating:

To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never compromised Ms. Attkisson’s computers, or otherwise sought any information from or concerning any telephone, computer or other media device she may own or use. (link)

Yet, within the legal DOJ obfuscation you’ll note the absence of a specific denial.  Against the backdrop of a provably weaponized DOJ commanded by Attorney General Eric Holder, who has specifically and intentionally targeted reporters, there is more than enough evidence to support the Attkisson forensic team who have identified government agencies as the source of the illegal tapping.   The discovery phase of a lawsuit is the only actionable redress to gain sunlight. 
(VIA FOX NEWS) Former CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has sued the Justice Department over the hacking of her computers, officially accusing the Obama administration of illegal surveillance while she was reporting on administration scandals.
