As predicted.   Golly-Gee Mr. Ketchup, why the long face ?

ISRAEL – US Secretary of State John Kerry left Israel Tuesday morning as details emerged of a possible deal that would lead to the release of imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard by passover and would ensure the continuation of peace talks into 2015.
Kerry will return to the Middle East on Wednesday to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Officials included in the talks said that the emerging deal contains the following elements:
1) Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard will be released before the first Passover seder on Monday April 14.
2) The negotiations will continue into 2015, during which time the Palestinians will commit themselves not to engage in diplomatic warfare against Israel by going to international organizations for recognition.

By now most people might have heard about an Israeli request for the release of Jonathan Pollard. Here we present the actual substance behind what’s really going on.
President Obama and Secretary Kerry have been trying for months to establish their own legacy position by leveraging a peace agreement between Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, and Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Specifically because Kerry/Obama are less pro-Israel than any other administration – Abbas (Palestinian Authority) has felt empowered, and doubled down on his position that Netanyahu (Israel) must make *ALL* the substantive concessions for peace.

Gee, ya think.  Figured that out all on your own did ya ?

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) — The investigation into Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now classified as a criminal investigation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing the Malaysian police chief.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said authorities have already recorded more than 170 statements and will interview more people for the Flight 370 probe, the Journal said.

But Bakar cautioned that what happened with Flight 370 might still be unknown after the investigation.

He added that the investigation into the flight simulator in the pilot’s house is still inconclusive. Authorities are awaiting an expert’s report on the simulator, he said. (more…)

First – the brutally obvious.    Four years ago the claim was made that 7 million enrollees were needed for the *initial* phase of ObamaCare to be a success.    And well, what do you know, the figure the White House touts today as VICTORY on the very last day, was 7,041,000.

Gee – what are the odds ?
Second – The entire reason to try and get ObamaCare passed was supposedly to “insure the uninsured” and we were told there were 35 million uninsured in 2009.    Of the 7 million signups touted, 5 million are those who lost their coverage DUE TO ObamaCare creating policy cancellations and re-enrolled through ObamaCare.     Of the remaining 2 million *enrollees* they are also counting 1 million Medicaid signups.
So this 2,700 page, $3 trillion healthcare monstrosity boondoggle has generated, at best, insurance for 1 million out of the original 35 million uninsured. (more…)

Does the property owner actually own the home or not ?
Think Progs. Think.
$9,000 in property tax and you are wondering why average people are renting out rooms etc ?   Your solution ? You approve the government to engage in warrantless house searches, and ask citizens to squeal on their neighbors. How much freedom are you willing to give away to insure “fairness”?
Watch the video – it’s not about the fear of neighborhood blight, it’s about some people pissed off that other people are finding ways to afford the insufferably high cost of living: “it’s just not fair”.
Remember this ? (more…)

Ever since Angela Corey and the Jacksonville SAO prosecuted the Trayvon Martin shooting there has been a significant increase in racial crimes in/around Jacksonville.   But you won’t see the media outline the race of the attackers.

You would have to search through snippets of various media stories to get the actual picture of what has taken place.
Here and Here and Here.   (and it’s interesting to note the comment sections where the media are being called out on their avoidance).
A loud group of black thugs throwing a party across the street from 34 year old Dustin Minarik’s home.    He goes outside to his front yard to move his work truck, he asks the crowd to tone it down – they point a gun toward him and his wife – he throws himself on top of her as the shots ring out.   He is shot in the back and dies in the hospital.
Dustin Minarik leaves behind a wife and three children.
Police are looking for the shooter, asking the public for help, but won’t describe the suspect(s).   Sound familiar ?
If you know anything that could help bring this family justice, you’re asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS. You could be eligible for a reward of up to $3,000.

(Via NBC News)  When Marie was two years old, a woman in her village in Africa cut off her clitoris and labia. Now 34 and living thousands of miles away in New York, she is still suffering.
“I have so many problems, with my husband, with sex, with childbirth,” she told NBC News, withholding her real name to protect her identity. “The consequences on my life are all negative, both physically and psychologically.”
The practice of Female Genital Mutilation is common across much of Africa, where it is believed to ensure sexual purity before marriage. But Marie says FGM is also “very common” in some communities in America.
“The pressure to get daughters cut is great,” she said.

PENNSYLVANIA – Teachers who are upset with union contract negotiations in the Abington Heights School District are taking their frustrations out on students by refusing to write letters of recommendation.
The selfish move, which is a common pressure tactic among education labor unions, will undoubtedly impact the ability of students to apply to college or other post secondary programs, although district officials contend they’re working to address the issue, the Times-Tribune reports.
Union president James Maria told the new site teachers in the district aren’t required to write students recommendation letters, and they don’t plan to until the school board reconsiders its position on retroactive pay. School and union officials have been in negotiations for a new teachers union contract since the last one expired in 2011. (more…)

Russia invading Ukraine;  North and South Korea exchanging missile fire;  Hey, it’s like we’re back in the 1950’s.

(Via CNN) — A day after raising the possibility of further nuclear tests, North Korea has engaged in provocative live-fire exercises near the South Korean maritime border, leading to an exchange of fire between the two neighbors.

Semi-official South Korean news agency Yonhap reported Monday that the North had begun the drill just after noon (local time). The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirmed that some North Korean ordnance landed in South Korean waters, and that the South responded with fire.

The JCS confirmed that the North Korean offshore military exercise began around 12:15 pm (local time) Monday, and said that “a part of North Korea’s shelling reached South Korean side of the NLL (Northern Limit Line) and we (South Korea) responded with K-9 self-propelled guns into the North Korean waters above NLL.” (more…)
