Chris Wallace is just shocked, shocked, the normal beltway conversation is dismissed by Limbaugh. Quite Good:

This guy is clear eyed, and right on target.

All of the evidence in the Mike Brown shooting case was directly copied and transferred to the Federal Department of Justice, Eric Holder, since the DOJ opened an official inquiry which was a mere three days after the Ferguson shooting on August 11th 2014.
Prosecutor Robert McCulloch went to great lengths to outline how quickly the evidence was collected and shared with overseeing federal authorities from the FBI.  In addition you can see how quickly the FBI was conducting their own witness interviews. (more…)

Everything President Obama does is first poured through the political prism of how the cost/benefit of action either assists or diminishes his personal agenda.  DUH- This is no remarkable insight, by now everyone admits it.

However, to understand the equation of political cost/benefit analysis in the decision to try and rescue hostage Luke Somers, you only need to put the facts onto the table – the pattern forms itself.  This is the White House view:

♦  The al-Qaeda captors stated they were going to kill Somers on Sunday. That wouldn’t look good – but, well, meh, really no biggie.
♦  The al-Qaeda captors stated they were going to release the South African hostage, Pierre Korkie, on Sunday.  Alone, that’s a neutral factor.
♦  The al-Qaeda captors were going to release Korkie simultaneous to killing Somers. Rut Roh – That looks worse – now ears are perked.
♦  The al-Qaeda captors were going to kill Somers because the U.S. wouldn’t do what Korkie’s country did. Even worse yet – Fox News type alarm bells ringing.

Against the backdrop of the last point, the potential for public scrutiny / political embarrassment becomes too risky.   Hostage Somers net value now weighted on the political ego of President Obama?  Yikes. (more…)

The perpetually disgruntled must not have families.

Why do I say that? Because they spent all of Thanksgiving in Ferguson Missouri doing their silly Stompy Dance, and never left, yet they didn’t live there.   They must not have families, or at least any family that wants their association. But you can’t really blame their families though, would you want a house filled with constant grouches?  Exhausting.
Now, I guess, they’re moving on up. Apparently they’ve moved the unwashed drum circle and grievance committee to New York City. Travel expenses courtesy of donations?
These people are genuinely in a perpetual state of joylessness.

(Via Breitbart) The man identified as “Barry One” in a Breitbart News investigation debunking Lena Dunham’s story of being raped in college by a “mustachioed campus Republican” named Barry, has made his first official statement since the release of that report. Through his attorney, identified as Aaron Minc, Barry One has set up a legal fund to cover current legal expenses, clear his name, and to potentially file suit against Ms. Dunham.
The proceeds from the legal fund will be used only to cover Barry One’s legal expenses. If there are any leftover monies, those will be donated to non-profit organizations that aid sexual assault victims.
For more than two months, and to no avail, Barry One has asked Dunham (through her representatives) to clear his name. Obviously, she has refused. (more…)

Good article in the Washington Free Beacon today outlining the need of false narratives to advance an ideology that doesn’t exist in reality. This is essentially something we’ve talked about extensively here, and when you follow the trail you find out “why” the Ryan Julison’s of the world need to create hoaxes.
(Via Washington Free Beacon)  Talk about a dramatic entrance. When the St. Louis Rams took the field last Sunday, several teammates raised their hands, palms out. It was an act of solidarity with Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager killed last August in a struggle with a white police officer. Moments before his demise, it is said, Brown raised his hands and pleaded: “Don’t shoot.”
Since then “hands up, don’t shoot” has become the rallying cry of protesters and rioters furious that the officer, Darren Wilson, was not indicted by a grand jury. There is just one problem: It is not clear that Brown put his hands up. Nor is it certain that he said, “Don’t shoot.” On the contrary, the evidence released by the grand jury suggests that the fatal incident began when Brown assaulted Wilson. (more…)

UPDATE: Suspect Mugshot and Named – A $1 million cash bail has been set for the man accused of stabbing four people on an Amtrak train leaving Chicago Friday, according to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department. Michael Darnell Williams, 44, was booked on Saturday on preliminary charges of assault with intent to murder four times. (read more)

Meanwhile the MSM goes into overdrive to avoid the obvious…  Previously:

• 24-year-old white male, Seldin Dranovic, attacked by black teens with hammers.
• 32-year-old white male, Zemir Begic, murdered by black teens with hammers.
• 26-year-old white female, pulled from car/attacked, by black youths with crowbar.

Now:  NILES, Mi. (WJBK) – Police in southwestern Michigan confirm that multiple people have been stabbed on board an Amtrak train that was heading for Port Huron.
The attack occurred at about 7 p.m., while the train, No. 364, was parked at a station located at N 6th Street and Pokagon. (more…)

After Mike Brown’s Step-Dad, Louis Head, screamed “burn this bitch down”, the surrounding crowd did just that.  Ferguson Missouri erupted in arsonist flames and riots.

Now, explosive new video of the events leading up to the Ferguson riots shows Mr. Head pre-planning the clarion call.  It was not, as his advocates and apologists have claimed, a poor display of spontaneous emotion.

Mr. Head is bottom of screen, center/left:

@00:16 …”no, if I get up there, I’m going to start a riot”…

In the aftermath of the violence, looting and arson, Saint Louis authorities stated they were looking into potential criminal charges against Mr. Head which might include “incitement to riot”.
Despite both Mike Brown’s mom, Lesley McSpadden, and Step-Dad Louis Head, having prior knowledge of the grand jury decision:

…”Brown’s family attorneys received a call from McCulloch shortly before the announcement that there would be no charges against the officer. Crump took the call and delivered the news to Brown’s family in an area hotel”…

… the sympathetic media, the members of the Mike Brown family, and the overwhelming majority of the professional grievance class, dismissed potential criminal charges and even attacked law enforcement for proposing such an insensitive position. (more…)

Transparent motive… 

WASHINGTON DC –  […]  The Obama administration is asking Rep. Darrell Issa not to put its senior Medicare official next to the now infamous Obamacare “architect” when both testify on Capitol Hill next Tuesday.

But it’s very clear that Issa, in one of his last investigative hearings as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wants to put Obamacare in a harsh spotlight by pairing Gruber with Marilyn Tavenner of CMS. They’ll be speaking about separate Obamacare issues — and the administration wants Issa to seat them separately, too. (more…)
