The #BlackLivesMatter, #Ferguson, #ICan’tBreathe crowd of communist agitators, social engineers and cultural Marxists protest against Al Sharpton’s NAN headquarters in New York.
Reverend Al Sharpton hits back at the protestors telling them they “are being played the way a pimp talks to his ho”; which begs the question: who are the pimps and who be the ho?

NEW YORK – Today, the 60-year-old reverend responded to the growing challenge by lashing out at younger activists, addressing them in a speech to his congregants.
“They are pimping you,” he said, referring to activists who he said were trying to divide young protesters from the older generation of activists. (more…)

The last time a federal budget was passed into law was September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 and it was signed by President Bush. President Obama has not had a single day in office with a federal budget, EVER.

For the first time in six years President Obama will actually meet a statutorily required deadline for submitting a federal budget. The Executive Branch budget proposals are due by the first Monday in February; however Obama usually blows off the rules. I digress.
This 2016 proposal is a little disingenuous no?

…”The president’s budget features a six-year, $478 billion public works program for upgrading the nation’s infrastructure, including roads, railroads and ports”….

Didn’t congress spend $1,000,000,000,000.00 (trillion) on Obama’s “stimulus plan”, aka “shovel ready jobs”, aka “American Reinvestment and Recovery Act”, for public works in 2009/2010? And what exactly did we get out of that little expenditure?
WASHINGTON DC – President Obama will unveil a $4 trillion budget Monday, featuring an ambitious public works program, a one-time tax on foreign profits kept overseas by corporations, tax credits for middle-class Americans, and a 1.3 percent pay raise for federal employees and troops. (more…)

Hat Tip Weaselzippers:

The first president to live in the White House was John Adams, after it was constructed between 1792 and 1800. President George Washington never did, as most American school children learn in elementary school. So no, he never made booze in the White house.
Obama might have missed that since he was living in Indonesia as a young boy, or perhaps he started the Super Bowl partying a bit early.

The Washington Times has a strong exclusive story outlining the Hillary Clinton drive for regime change in Libya 2011. The article is quite well presented with never before heard tapes between U.S. officials and Gaddaffi loyalists who were trying to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
The article outlines many of the issues our previous research also uncovered, and presents the contrast between the Pentagon position and the State Department during the crisis in Libya.
However, there is one substantive factual flaw when the Washington Times outlines Hillary’s motive for regime change.
The author writes about the motive from the position of the known visible narrative chosen by Hillary to remove Gaddaffi. Which was to avoid a “humanitarian crisis”, similar to the Rwanda massacre. (more…)

[…]  In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control had thought that measles were eliminated in the US, but starting in 2008, cases began to climb. In 2014, the number of cases exploded to over 600, more than all reported cases between 2009 and 2013. The CDC also reported that cases reached a 20-year high in 2014.

The CDC determined that the number of cases grew in the US due to an influx of foreign immigrants.

There is no treatment for measles once it is contracted. Patients should stay hydrated as they ride the illness out. Authorities say the only prevention is widespread vaccination. (link)

When is a Terrorist Attack not a Terrorist Attack?  When it’s carried out by the Taliban who the White House claims is not a terrorist group….  or something.

SUMMERVILLE, SC (WCSC) — A South Carolina man was killed in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan Thursday, according to his family.
Matthew Fineran, 42, of Summerville, was killed in a shooting, his family confirmed. He was the father of six children.
A spokesman for Praetorian Standard Incorporated says three of its employees were killed in a shooting at the airport in Kabul. A fourth employee was wounded, according to the company.
The Pentagon says the gunman who killed the three American contractors in an attack Thursday at the Kabul airport was wearing an Afghan uniform. (more…)

Oddly, Mayor Francis “lettemRiot” Slay unavailable for immediate comment:
Saint Louis – Recent high-profile attacks downtown have prompted Police Chief Sam Dotson to ask the Missouri Highway Patrol to assign troopers to work beside city officers there.

Sam Dotson (city police), Jon Belmar (county police), Ron Johnson (highway patrol) 

Dotson said he contacted the patrol last week in response to a surge in violent crime downtown over the final five months of last year.
“As chief, that rise (in crime) was worrisome,” Dotson said on Wednesday.
Dotson said he foresaw a six-month pilot program in which about a dozen troopers would join forces with city police officers.
“We think that if we can work with the highway patrol to bring a little more police visibility and added presence downtown, it will have an impact on crime,” he said. “And if downtown thrives, the region thrives.” (more…)

More on the ALPR, or LPR process.  APLR is Automated License Plate Reader.  LPR is not automated – they are triggered like radar guns. Our prior research has shown increasing use of APLR’s mounted to tow trucks and used by bond agents to drive through store parking lots while scanning for hits – this is the private industry use of the technology.
The governmental use of the technology is more concerning because we have already found evidence of massive databases of cross referenced information, specifically CCW and gun registration, which are available to LEO. So it strikes as reasonable the same methods would be deployed around gun shows and other identified, governmentally defined “high risk” behaviors.

WASHINGTON DC – According to emails obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union, federal authorities planned to monitor gun show parking lots with automatic license plate readers.
The insight comes from a damning report released by the ACLU this week on a secretive program by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to build a massive database of license plates images collected by automated license plate reader devices. (more…)

McDonalds sought to deflect pressure from the BGI and Professional Left over Franchise Law (NLRB), employment, and pay rates. So they took a proactive position and hired a black CEO. Three consecutive years of failure, dismal sales and market share losses ensued. The worst leadership run in the history of the organization.
However, now Al Sharpton and the Obama administration (using the NLRB) are likely to strike back.  Yet consider this: immediately the stock soared on the news of Thompson’s firing;  which would indicate the shareholders would rather face Sharpton/Obama than deal with a continued idiot at the helm.
BLOOMBERG – McDonald’s Corp., the world’s largest restaurant chain, will replace Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson with one of his top lieutenants following the company’s worst U.S. sales slump in more than a decade.
Chief Brand Officer Steve Easterbrook will take the reins when Thompson steps down on March 1, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said in a statement Wednesday. Easterbrook, currently a senior executive vice president, also will join the board, filling Thompson’s vacated seat, the company said. Thompson, 51, had been in the CEO job fewer than three years.
“With sales stagnant for this long, there’s been a lot of push for change,” said Will Slabaugh, an analyst at Stephens Inc. in Little Rock, Arkansas. “They had to show investors they’re serious about changing and improving sales.” (more…)

You just can’t make this stuff up. An initial meeting to discuss the possibility of a citizen review board had to be cancelled because the Ferguson “FTP” protestors break out in a violent chamber rampage… Massive Irony = The police had to be called to restore order.
ST. LOUIS • An open meeting at City Hall on the creation of a civilian oversight board of the police department devolved into a melee on Wednesday night, further exposing the city’s deep divisions over race and law enforcement.

The meeting held by the aldermanic public safety committee, designed to seek public comment, lasted over an hour with little event as residents ticked off the pros and cons of having a civilian board to review police conduct and procedures.
But the crowd became unsettled when police officers began testifying in opposition to the bill. At times, Alderman Terry Kennedy, who chairs the committee, struggled to keep order. The noise in the room spiked as police officers attempted to testify. (more…)
