Glenn Reynolds – Americans have been living through an enormously sensationalized college rape hoax, but as the evidence accumulates it’s becoming clear that the entire thing was just a bunch of media hype and political opportunism.
No, I’m not talking about the Rolling Stone‘s lurid and now-exploded fraternity gang-rape story. Whatever the truth behind that story, it’s now clear that basically nothing that Rolling Stone reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely told us happened, actually happened. But the hoax is much bigger than one overwrought and perhaps entirely fictional tale of campus goings-on.
For months we’ve been told that there’s a burgeoning “epidemic” of rape on college campuses, that the system for dealing with campus rape is “broken” and that we need new federal legislation (of course!) to deal with this disaster. Before the Rolling Stone story imploded, Sens. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., were citing the Virginia gang rape as evidence of the problem, but now that the story has been exposed as bogus, they’re telling us that, regardless of that isolated incident, there’s still a huge campus rape problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Ben Chambers tells NBC Jessica Lane Chambers had left a battered woman shelter two months prior to her murder.  This explains the letter to her niece….
(VIA NBC) Friends and family members of Jessica Chambers, the Mississippi woman who was set on fire and burned to death this week, packed a funeral chapel Saturday to remember her life — as questions remained about who killed her in such a horrible way.
Deborah Sanders, the 19-year-old’s aunt, said before the service at Wells Funeral in Batesville that the support of the community following the young woman’s death has helped comfort the family, but they are desperate to find whoever killed her. Hundreds attended the woman’s wake Friday.
“We’re going to focus our energy on the capture of those who did this,” said Sanders, who planned to honor her by decorating a Christmas tree in her honor — the holiday was Jessica’s favorite time of year. “Her mother and I were there when she took her last breath,” Sanders added. “The fire took all that away.” (more…)

On Wednesday August 13th 2014 the FBI and local investigators sat down with Dorian Johnson in the office of his attorney, Freeman Bosley Jr. This was five days after the shooting death of his cohort, and strong arm robbery suspect, Michael Brown.
Wednesday August 13th was the day after Police Officer Darren Wilson had also given recorded statements to the investigators.
Prior to today the Federal Department of Justice had refused to release the official record and transcript of that interview with Dorian Johnson. Speculation has grown as to what the motives of the FBI would be to keep it hidden.
Apparently the FBI changed position and allowed Saint Louis Prosecutor to release the information.   Today the transcript was released.

~ WHO KILLED JESSICA LANE CHAMBERS ~

Day #2 HERE – Day #3 HERE – Day #4 HERE – Day #5 HERE

To say the last 24 hours of research has uncovered significant information would be the understatement of the year.
We are going to attempt to share the discoveries and keep the text digestible, but the depth here is really consuming. So we’ll start with a troubling outline of the investigation and then share more alarming evidence of big trouble in a small town.
Here’s a video of District Attorney John Champion and Panola County Sheriff Dennis Darby, giving a press conference on Thursday. If you pay close attention you can hear cause for initial concern. What we outline after is jaw dropping:

“I do not anticipate any arrests“..

First concern – given the current framework and national sentiment around racial crime, you can quickly identify why DA John Champion would be the absolute worst possible person to seek Justice for Jessica Chambers.  Once you know about his own racial issues, given his racial controversies in the Johnny Lee Butts case, well, you can see how he would be easily leveraged/pressured by the professional grievance industry.

Let it not be said the grievance community is nothing, if not, persistent.
SAINT LOUIS – (KTVI) – African-American community leaders say they’re taking action to put justice back into the hands of black people. They say they will convene a black grand jury on January 3rd and 4th to look at the evidence in the Michael Brown shooting.

Those grand jury members will go over the evidence presented to the St. Louis County Grand Jury. They also say they will call Darren Wilson, County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles and Governor Jay Nixon to testify.
“What it does is educates and informs our people that two bodies came together, examined the same set of evidence, and were able to come to different conclusions. Therefore, the only thing standing between us and our ability to carry out the will of the people is to change this relationship that exists between us and the armed state apparatus that controls us.” said Omali Yeshitela of the African People’s Socialist Party.

The last federal budget was signed into law September 2007 by President Bush. Since then the past 7 fiscal years have been funded under continuing resolution bills.
In a sane world the Republicans would have only funded Fiscal Year 2015 through April, and taken the position of waiting to see President Obama’s budget proposal for FY 2016 which is due in February. (President Obama has never met a statutorily required budget submission deadline). Alas, another year funded by CR.
Via Politico – In a big win for House Republicans and President Barack Obama, the House passed a $1 trillion-plus funding bill Thursday night that will keep the government open into next year.
The final vote, which came after a high drama day of behind the scenes arm twisting and vote counting, was 219 to 206.
The Senate passed a two-day funding bill following the House vote, avoiding a government shutdown starting at midnight Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), however, warned that the “cromnibus,” as the massive spending package has come to be called on Capitol Hill, may not pass the Senate until Monday. (more…)

We have withheld a discussion thread on the entire Rolling Stone / UVA Rape Scandal because, well, quite frankly, we’ve got our hands full just dealing with the inbound hate from the professional grievance crowd. The last thing we would like to add is a strong dose of inbound fem-Nazi’s (ie. the ideological compatriots of the BGI with an additional gender grievance). There’s only so much moonbattery you can take.

That said, when you see the far left media trying to sulk their way to the exits you know the point has been reached where it’s safe time to call the baby ugly.
The entire controversy was constructed around a seriously unstable, attention desperate, false victim. Her Tawana Brawley-like story was then collected by, solicited by, promoted by and sold by, a rabid similarly minded fem-leftist working at Rolling Stone; Sabrina Erdely playing the role of Al Sharpton.
It was all BS. ALL OF IT.
This is the first time, and most likely the last time, you’ll ever see a Slate article shared here – however, the mere fact they are being cited should show how ridiculously false this entire construct has been from the outset. With that, we bow out: (more…)

We said it four months ago, and we’ll say it again:  Virginia’s Got A Problem They Won’t Admit To… and it’s getting worse.

The same Police Chief who was passionate about Hannah Graham’s murder has another homicide on his hands in the same area of Charlottesville. This time a woman and her teenage daughter were beaten to death by the suspect, their house then set on fire.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The elementary school teacher and her teenage daughter murdered in their Charlottesville home Friday night were not random crime victims, Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo said during a Tuesday morning news conference.
Murder suspect Gene Everett Washington, 30, and victim Mani Aldridge, 17, knew each other prior to Friday’s crime. Chief Longo would not go into detail about the relationship between Washington and the Charlottesville High School junior. (more…)

The murder of 19-year-old Jessica Lane Chambers is perhaps one of the most gruesome acts of violence in recent memory.  The full backstory is available here.  However, in the comments section LJP asks a question and ponders a research concern.
I’ll explain after you watch this video. Watch and “listen” closely:

The reporter filed the report 90 hours after Jessica Lane Chambers investigation begins.

Note, Jorge Ramos does not understand the framework of a constitutional republic. His only mental reference points are his experience living under a parliamentary dictatorship. He’s clueless about what co-equal powers of three branches of government means. He views the U.S. Presidency as omnipotent – and does not understand the President is merely one office, one branch, one third of power.
