GOLETA, Calif. — The father of a young man gunned down Friday during the rampage in Santa Barbara said he is asking members of Congress to stop calling him to offer condolences but nothing more for the death of his only child, Christopher Michaels-Martinez.

“I don’t care about your sympathy. I don’t give a s— that you feel sorry for me,” Richard Martinez said during an extensive interview, his face flushed as tears rolled down his face. “Get to work and do something. I’ll tell the president the same thing if he calls me. Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”

Saying “we are all to blame” for the death of his 20-year-old son, Martinez urged the public join him in demanding “immediate action” from members of Congress and President Obama to curb gun violence by passing stricter gun-control laws. (more…)

There is so much PC-ism (literally hundreds of examples) within the Atlantic Beach / Myrtle Beach -Bike Fest Weekend story- it’s almost too much to absorb.

In response to five shootings, three deaths, and a total of ten people shot during Black Bike Week – The city of Myrtle Beach/Atlantic Beach is at odds within itself.

The majority of business and residents want the event cancelled –  But Myrtle Beach is stuck betwixt Atlantic Beach, the NAACP, and a hard place.   The entire issue, support vs. non-support for Black Bike Week, aka now “Bike Week”, falls along racial lines.

However, Myrtle Beach Residents are tightrope walking around their egg shell thin PC-ism’s saying it’s not about race….  While simultaneously the Town of Atlantic Beach residents are actively wielding the race-card. (more…)

Mrs. Clinton is proud of accomplishments that no-one, even herself, can name.

“Mythical Accomplishments” should have been the name of her new book.   Then again, maybe she is genuinely proud of the 2010 Global U.S. Apology Tour, as she spent almost an entire year apologizing to heads of state for what was written about them by her State Department team and released by WikiLeaks.

WASHINGTON DC – Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in new excerpts from her upcoming book that she wishes she could go back and reconsider some of her past decisions but she is “proud of what we accomplished” during her time as secretary of state.

Did anyone ever see Marlon Brando in “The Island of Dr. Moreau“?  Just sayin’… /SD

Clinton, a potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, writes in an author’s note released Tuesday that her four years running the State Department for President Barack Obama taught her about the United States’ “exceptional strengths and what it will take for us to compete and thrive at home and abroad.”

“As is usually the case with the benefit of hindsight, I wish we could go back and revisit certain choices. But I’m proud of what we accomplished,” Clinton writes. “This century began traumatically for our country, with the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the long wars that followed, and the Great Recession. We needed to do better, and I believe we did.” (more…)

The NAACP vows litigation vengeance if the Myrtle Beach Mayor tries to stop the violence or cancel future events.

SOUTH CAROLINA – […]  “I don’t know if there’s anything I could say that could satisfy our residents and the business community in our city right now,” said Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes.

WMBF News spoke with the Mayor on Monday to see if the city has plans to make changes to Memorial Day Weekend security in the future to prevent crime.  The short answer is yes.

“I’m fed up with it; I’m mad as hell about it,” added Rhodes.  “Something has to be done and whatever we have to do to correct this thing, that’s the direction we’re going in.”

This triple homicide is one of five shootings in Myrtle Beach in less than 48 hours.  Rhodes said this crime trend does not reflect the true Myrtle Beach. (more…)

Dateline Saturday May 24, 2014 — Portland, Oregon: This weekend the Multnomah County Public Library hosted “Radfems Respond,” a conference for “social justice activists” which encouraged public dialogue on issues such as “abolishing prostitution and ending gender.”

The negative or poor job performance reviews were afforded to minority groups at a disparate rate than their numerical componentry.   Therefore all performance reviews must be dropped.

WASHINGTON DC – One government agency has decided that the results of employee ratings are too discriminatory, and eliminated the process entirely. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced on Monday that it will now award all employees the highest rating regardless of performance reviews.

The CFPB, which oversees transactions in the financial sector for the federal government, decided to no longer conduct employee reviews because there were just too many apparent “significant disparities” between the races, ages, and locations of its employees.

According to American Banker, this new policy is set to cost over $5 million dollars, as it will now pay employees as if they received the highest evaluation score. The previous system ranked staff on their performance from a scale ranging from one to five, with five being the best score a CFPB staffer could receive after a review of their work on the job.

(Via Kurt Schlichter)  Liberals have a new word for what normal people call “success.” They call it “privilege,” as if a happy, prosperous life is the result of some magic process related to where your great-great-great-grandfather came from.

It’s the latest leftist argument tactic, which means it is a tactic designed to prevent any argument and to beat you into rhetorical submission.

Conservatives, don’t play their game.

It’s easy to see that this notion that accomplishment comes not from hard work but from some mysterious force, operating out there in the ether, is essential to liberal thought. To excuse the dole-devouring layabouts who form so much of the Democrat voting base, it is critical that they undermine the achievements of those who support themselves. We can’t have the American people thinking that hard work leads to success; people might start asking why liberal constituencies don’t just work harder instead of demanding more money from those who actually produce something.
