Hypocrisy thy name is….   

(Via Washington Times) Actor Robert Redford is suing the state of New York for what he says are unfair taxes from the sale of the Sundance Channel.

Mr. Redford, a Utah resident, sued the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance in Albany County Supreme Court on July 30, claiming that he’s being doubly taxed on money his company made when it sold off its portion of the channel in 2005, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
New York is taxing the actor-director $845,066 plus $727,404 in interest owed — roughly $1.57 million — for the money he made in the sale, but Mr. Redford said he already paid taxes on the revenue in Utah. (more…)

As a side note, now that we have found all of the entities profiting from the direct illegal immigration, we are turning our attention to the attorneys and legal assistance groups who are going to use taxpayer money to aid their legal representation:

WASHINGTON DC – Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday said the stream on unaccompanied minors who have crossed the southern border “are our kids” and solving the humanitarian crisis “is really hard stuff.”
“These are not somebody else’s kids, these are our kids,” Biden said. “These are the children that lift the national ambitions of each of these countries aloft. And it is a tragedy for countries who are losing them and for us not being able to solve every one of their problems”
The vice president’s remarks came in front of attorneys and legal groups gathered to discuss ways to represent the thousands of Central American children who have illegally entered the U.S. Many, Biden said, will be sent back to conditions worse than the temporary housing they are currently living in.  (read more)

Over a year ago it became obvious that Secretary of State John Kerry was going to force the world to recognize his value and magnificence.    After all, he has a legacy to create and time’s-a-wastin’ if he’s going to get bronze busts of himself mounted around the globe.  Remember Kerry the Buttinsky, or the Kerry collapse ?

Here’s the latest evidence of an ego on steroids.  The U.S. is NOT invited to attend the talks in Cairo.   Fatah el-Sisi has been diplomatic but direct in telling Kerry to stay away.   Alas…..

EGYPT – Washington announced on Tuesday that it might join the talks between Israel and the Palestinians brokered by Egypt with the aim of reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
“I think it is possible we participate in those talks (in Cairo),” US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.  “As for who, how or when, we still haven’t decided that,” Psaki added. (more…)

Yes, he really believes this.   In this recent speech to the African Summit leaders John Kerry tells the audience Africa should not start farms to feed its people.   Unreal.

Allow children to starve because they’ll be saved from the perils of a non-existent fear.

For over three years we have been tracking this new federal protocol of qualifying school punishment for misbehavior around the race of the offender.  This latest example comes from a suburb of Atlanta Georgia – STORY LINK.   

Can you spot the flaw in the racial grievance logic ?

You might well remember in 2011 when Senior Foreign Policy Advisor, Samantha Power, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama created the Obama Doctrine “Responsibility To Protect” (R2P) as they demanded intervention to defend al-Qaeda “rebels” in Benghazi Libya:

 …“To brush aside America’s responsibility as a leader and -more profoundly- our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are.  Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries.  The United States of America is different.  And as President, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action.”…

– President Barack Obama, March 28th 2011

Last night in Washington DC the mandatory Mooch Obama school nutrition standard was set aside as our rulers dined on something a little more, well, exotic:

But don’t worry, in the event the unwashed peasants had any difficulty understanding how the .0000001% live on taxpayer financed opulence, head grifter in charge -Valerie Jarrett- was there to broadcast descriptions of the magnificence to the lesser class:

And before anybody says anything like “they’re tone deaf“, let me assure you the Alinsky clan is NOT.   This crew know exactly what they are broadcasting – and that knot you feel is specifically and antagonistically intended to “burn”.  Their visceral response to your outward anxiety is laughter.

The empirical evidence of an airborne Ebola Strain is overwhelming

Hat Tip GWP – Patrick Sawyer was the American businessman, who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia, then collapsed after he got off a plane to Nigeria and died July 25.  He was the first patient in Nigeria with the Ebola virus.  The Nigerian authorities have refused to release the names of other passengers on the plane with Mr. Sawyer, or notify the media of their status.

Sawyer, 40, was a naturalized American citizen who lived in Minneapolis and was working as a consultant for the Liberian finance ministry. Now Patrick Sawyer’s doctor has the disease.  Additionally, three others who treated Sawyer also have the disease.

Despite U.S. CDC reassurances more evidence is surfacing the Ebola outbreak is now “spinning out of control“.
MORE ALARMINGLY – It is now also discovered that in 1995 the ability of Ebola to aerosolize –or transmit via airborne pathogens– was reported, studied and confirmed. Ebola is a communicable airborne virus. (more…)

Indian Television shows how Hamas places rocket launches next to hotels and heavily populated buildings in Gaza.

(The American Interest)  In this most recent exchange of hostilities between Hamas and Israel, a number of commentators have noted Hamas’ unusual war tactics. Jeffrey Goldberg asks, “Is Hamas Trying to Get Gazans Killed?” Even Mahmoud Abbas queried, “What are you trying to achieve by sending rockets?” As Bob Schieffer put it with a touch of euphemism: (more…)

Last Sunday, CNN’s Candy Crowley was challenging Texas Governor Rick Perry for sending the National Guard to the border.   According to Crowley his figure citing how many Americans were murdered by illegal aliens was too high.    Perry responded:

…”what’s the correct number of Americans that this administration would allow to be murdered by illegal aliens”?

A few hours after the CNN interview the reality struck home in WILLACY COUNTY – An off-duty Border Patrol agent was shot and killed while fishing with his family. Two suspects are in custody.

Border Patrol spokesman Omar Zamora told CHANNEL 5 NEWS the agent was shot in the chest Sunday night after an attempted robbery.  According to Zamora, the gunmen saw the agent had a gun in his holster and opened fire. (more…)
