Today President Obama addressed the state of emergency in Baltimore Maryland, calling the violent reactions “counter-productive.”

Question:  How many is a “handful”?
 

As Baltimore Burns the media begins the blame game. Last night pressing the Maryland Governor on why it took so long for the Maryland National Guard to be activated Governor Larry Hogan cuts right to the chase: “Within 30 seconds of receiving the call, I activated the National Guard”.
The delay stems from Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake refusing to ask for assistance, and refusing to return phone calls from the Governors office. Start watching the video at 09:00 to see delivery:

Governor Hogan is a Republican, Mayor Rawlings is a far-left liberal Democrat.
After Governor Hogan arrived in Baltimore, CNN pundit Don Lemon tried to pin the blame on him in an effort to protect the more liberal Mayor Rawlings from her own ineptitude. Again Governor Hogan was having none of it. (more…)

The media continue to ask the question of why the police in Baltimore are not doing more to stop the violence and rioting throughout Baltimore. The answer is quite simple. Baltimore has been the bastion of political correctness and wilful blindness toward race-based violence for several years. Officials cannot now expose something they have tried to hide for almost a decade.

The City of Baltimore is comprised almost entirely of black leadership. The Mayor is black, the police Chief is black, almost the entire city council is black, the law enforcement community is mostly black – yet the rioting masses continue to say they are oppressed. It is simply a factually incorrect race-based narrative. (more…)

The Media Won’t Discuss The Nine CFIUS Signatories – Why Not? 

Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer appeared on This Week and faced a very skeptical George Stephanopoulos, who argued that his accusations that Hillary Clinton exchanged favorable treatment from the U.S. State Department for multimillion dollar donations to the Clinton Foundation were unsubstantiated.
However, what ABC doesn’t tell YOU is that Stephanopoulos has a SEVERE conflict of interest about this story as it relates to its 2005 origin and his former Boss Bill Clinton.

It’s interesting that Stephanopoulos weighs his Clintonian defense so heavily on “CFIUS“, The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and the “nine signatories” required for approval of the lucrative and coincidental Russian uranium deal. (more…)

It’s not accidental, it’s not a mistake – nor is it coincidental.

It is a well scripted “social jihad”.

Baltimore Maryland erupts in riots, looting and civil unrest – and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings goes on television to thank the Nation of Islam for their support:

Pictured below -yesterday- are the “Bloods” and “Crips” gangs, together with the Nation of Islam (guys with red bow ties) in Baltimore. Note the Nation of Islam giving the extended forefinger salute representing allegiance with ISIS.

CNN continues the drumbeat against police in Baltimore Maryland regarding the death of Freddie Gray. Today the Baltimore police chief held a lengthy press conference. The police chief, the mayor and the local community leaders are under exceptional pressure as the professionally aggrieved advance upon Baltimore.

Amid the current climate it was announced today the NAACP, National Action Network (NAN), the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), the Nation of Islam, along with Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Jamal Bryant, Malik Shabazz and Marc Morial, are all converging on Baltimore for a weekend of protests and grievance rallies. (more…)

A left-wing group in Pensacola Florida, “Occupy Pensacola“, has identified Sheriff David Morgan as a threat to their delicate sensibilities for using the term “Thug Culture”.
As you are reading this, hundreds of professional BGI activists have rushed to their “safe spaces” to email, text, and calling their leadership.   Following the “trigger warning” comes the activation of the media clarion call for additional support.
Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan had the audacity to speak on camera about the breakdown in culture and civility amid the black community.  In an attempt to get to the root cause of violence he and his officers are encountering Sheriff Morgan spoke of the breakdown of the family and a disconnect of virtue and morality.
He is now in the crosshairs of the professionally aggrieved.  Here is the video that activated the Trigger Warning.

Education Secretary Arnie Duncan is reminding parents in America “that all your children belong to them”. In a not-so-very veiled threat Secretary Duncan states the Federal Government will step in if parents continue to opt their children out of Common Core testing.

(Via Doug Ross Journal) Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued a veiled threat to the parents and students who choose to opt out of Common Core testing – The Feds “have an obligation to step in.”
Federal law, under No Child Left Behind, requires 95 percent of students in a state to take the annual standardized tests in reading and math from grades 3-8. It is a requirement which until now has never needed enforcement or consideration.
With as many as 184,000 students in New York choosing to opt out, the 95 percent threshold will not only be in jeopardy, it will be an easily missed mark.
When asked what would happen in states with such a high opt out rate, whether they would have to force consequences upon schools, parents, and students, Duncan responded “We think most states will do that.”
He added, “If states don’t do that, then we have an obligation to step in.” (more…)

There’s really not much to add other than watch the video. Supposedly, according to media reports, there was a set of rules, policies and/or guidelines in place when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Those rules were supposedly drafted by the White House and required specific disclosures and compliance requirements.
Today, facing FACTUAL EVIDENCE that those rules were never followed, the White House essentially says “meh, who cares”?

Because the Freddie Gray story advances a specific narrative right in the sweet spot for check-box progressives who deliver liberal punditry on the network and try to convince America that it’s the majority view.

If a commercial airliner disappeared over Baltimore CNN would climax.

And the local liberal media in/around Baltimore Maryland are just giddy with praise.

Baltimore Sun: “When it comes to television, CNN has been in a league by itself in covering the Freddie Gray story“…

The professionally aggrieved have once again found a friend in CNN.
