Senator Dianne Feinstein (D – Calif.) thinks the House select committee on Benghazi is “ridiculous.”

“I think it’s a hunting mission for a lynch mob,” she told CNN’s Candy Crowley on State of the Union Sunday.

Good summary of Michelle Obama’s speech ideology to the graduating class of Topeka Kansas from Truth Revolt:   

For Michelle Obama, the world is black and white. But not about good and evil, right and wrong. Her black and white is all about skin color.

She talks about it often, incessantly, even, injecting race and racism into speeches and events in which they have no business. And she did so again on Friday, when she traveled to Topeka, Kansas, to deliver a speech to graduating high school seniors.

First, a background note: Her speech was moved up a day after parents complained that her visit to a school district — just blocks from the historic schoolhouse central to the Brown v. Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation — would focus on race, not their children’s accomplishments.

And that, in fact, is exactly what the first lady did.  (more…)

Apparently the liberal “Ban Bossy Campaign” to stop backlash against assertive women in leadership never made it to the New York Times.    #IronyObvious.   Sulzberger says Abramson fired for being too bossy.

I pledge to #banbossy – let's raise our girls to value leadership skills and assertiveness! http://t.co/Wyy7XOOPKy

(Via Bloomberg)  New York Times Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. denied gender bias played any part in his decision to fire top editor Jill Abramson, saying she publicly mistreated colleagues and was a poor communicator.

“During her tenure, I heard repeatedly from her newsroom colleagues, women and men, about a series of issues, including arbitrary decision-making, a failure to consult and bring colleagues with her, inadequate communication and the public mistreatment of colleagues,” Sulzberger said in a statement released yesterday.

“I discussed these issues with Jill herself several times and warned her that, unless they were addressed, she risked losing the trust of both masthead and newsroom.” (more…)

Say what you will about President G.W. Bush but he always puts the consideration of others at the forefront.  Many, including myself, strongly disagreed with T2 policies – but Dubya’s outward humility in position was/is beyond reproach. 

TELEGRAPH – […] As President Barack Obama spoke at the unveiling of the museum in New York on Thursday, the man who was president at the time of the attacks was noticeable by his absence.  According to the museum Mr Bush was invited to the ceremony, but his spokesman Freddy Ford said he was unable to attend because of a scheduling conflict.

It later emerged that the former president was in Bentonville, Arkansas attending a separate ceremony for 14 living recipients of the Medal of Honour. The event also raised money for the Congressional Medal of Honour Society and Foundation. (more…)

I’m intentionally chopping up an article to solicit opinion because something just doesn’t sit right with this; at least to me.

The article starts out like this:

Authorities partly closed a downtown Minneapolis freeway briefly Tuesday morning as they made a “high-risk” traffic stop to detain a motorist who allegedly brandished a gun at another driver. 

[…]  The incident began about 6:40 a.m. on eastbound I-694 in Brooklyn Park, when a motorist called police to report that another driver was displaying a gun.

The article continues with an explanation of what they did to catch the concerning motorist: (more…)

• CAIR petitioning Sudanese Government for release/leniency, right ?

• Democrats and Liberals protesting 24/7 outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington DC right ?

• Hollywood has begun a social media / #hashtag campaign, right?  (I mean what good is #BanBossy if..)

• Millions of Moderate Muslims around the world are expressing outrage, right ?

What’s that?    Yeah, thought so…   

(Christian Post) A pregnant Christian woman sentenced to death for apostasy in Sudan will be allowed to give birth before being hanged for apostasy.

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was born to a Muslim father but was raised a Christian by her mother after he walked out on the family when she was just six years old.

She was sentenced to hang for apostasy after marrying a Christian man and was also sentenced to receive 100 lashes for adultery because the court determined that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan was void under Islamic law. (more…)

Remember the lap dancing teacher ?  Yep, same school district…

HOUSTON TEXAS – […] Police say the teenager was using his phone in class and got physical with the substitute teacher to get it back.

“The substitute teacher confiscated a cell phone from a 16-year-old male student. The student attempted to retrieve his cell phone. He got up and shoved the substitute teacher, shoved her repeatedly and eventually shoved her to the ground,” Aldine ISD spokesperson Jason Spencer said.

The student actually walked himself to the principal’s office to turn himself in. He was charged with injury to the elderly. His name isn’t being released because he is a minor. (continue reading)

Like us, if you had concerns the entire MH-370 missing plane search was fraught with undisclosed assumptions this recent revelation will bring even more validity to your concerns.

From the outset, we have held the position the Inmarsat Data just never made sense.  Too many assumptions, and far too much reliance, on a singular uncommon denominator fraught with intellectual implausibility, the “Inmarsat satellite data”.  For whatever reason the public was never allowed to actually analyze.

It was always presented as “take our word for it”;  and none of it ever made sense.    The geometry, the telemetry, and the global positionings inherent from the math, well, actually inherent from the assumptions within the math, just never made sense from the outset.

Now, as time has passed, and more people demand to know exactly what the specifics behind the assumptions were, the Inmarsat people who analyzed the data sets -and targeted the search area-  claim to have lost the data.     Well, actually, they claim to have given it all to the Malaysian/Australian authority… and the authorities claim they never received it…. and supposedly there was only one copy…..  Yeah, go figure – you getting this?….

Lyndon Johnson?   Seriously ? ….   That a “conservative” would even think to espouse such advocacy should send chills down the spine of anyone who would self identify behind conservative principles. 

(TEXAS – Via Miami Herald) Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said he would strive to be like Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat famous for expanding the U.S. welfare state through the “Great Society,” if he were elected president.

According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy. (more…)

(Via MoonBattery) Zero tolerance for weapons lunacy isn’t limited to grade schools.

In colleges, the time-honored sport of fencing may take it in the heart:

The newly formed fencing club at North Dakota State University (NDSU) cannot practice on campus thanks to the university’s weapons policy.

“The current interpretation of the non-weapon policy in NDSU…understands our fencing equipment as weapons,” Enrique Alvarez, the club’s coach, told Valley News Live.

The swords the club uses have no sharp points or blades. The tips are flat and spring-loaded. Still, the university deems them weapons; as such, possession or use of the swords is prohibited on university owned or controlled property.
