I really find this article in Philly.Com insulting.    It’s as if they don’t think we know this is the same city which began the popular “flash mob n robs” in 2010.   It’s as if they don’t think we know this is the city where Michael Nutter told the black population to pull up their pants and stop acting like thugs in 2011.   It’s as if they don’t think we know about the dozens of “knock out assaults” from 2011, 2012, 2013; and the more recent girls with the Brick to the Face attacks. 

Philadelphia is not the city of “Brotherly Love”, it’s the city of “Thuggerly Love”; and this article from Philly.Com is positioned as if it just happened recently.   Insulting. 

PHILADELPHIA – UNRULY students roaming the halls, fighting, smoking weed. Ordering takeout.
Frightened teachers covering their windows and locking their sometimes busted-up doors – while what? – whispering Hail Marys that the roaming band of delinquents won’t disrupt their classes.

And then just days before a lunchtime brawl at Bartram High School that left six students in police custody, a staffer assigned to keep the peace gets knocked unconscious by a student and suffers a fractured skull.
The March 21 incident grabbed headlines, but it was just the latest incident at a school long plagued by violence. (more…)

Hear the one about the guy who had to resign from a company he co-founded for believing in traditional marriage? http://t.co/7b3ZiotPh2

The politics of Liberal Prog Andrew Sullivan and The Last Refuge are 180° divergent. However, this outrageous attack by the militant gay movement is so egregious in its scope we actually find commonality with Teh Sully.

Andrew Sullivan – The guy who had the gall to express his First Amendment rights and favor Prop 8 in California by donating $1,000 has just been scalped by some gay activists. After an OKCupid decision to boycott Mozilla, the recently appointed Brendan Eich just resigned under pressure: (more…)

Answer for yourself what’s wrong with this story. 

Something about riots to gain $250 sneakers – contrast against the continual protestations of downtrodden and impoverished minority groups that need additional government assistance to survive – just seems to belay common sense.

(New York)  Police say a large crowd gathered outside a SoHo store for the release of a pricey new sneaker had to be dispersed when it spilled into the street.

Police say about 300 people lined up in front of the Supreme New York on Lafayette Street around 5 p.m. Wednesday. By 8 p.m., the crowd had nearly doubled. Police say they dispersed the crowd due to safety concerns. The store was closed at the time. (more…)

A media spokesperson by the name of Ryan Julison has more actual blood on his hands than any other media corporatist in the last decade.    It was Julison who specifically orchestrated race into the initial media hook in the Trayvon Martin shooting to gain attention for his clients, the Martin family attorneys.
Julison’s decision to inject racial anxiety into the Martin Shooting produced the attack theme:

“Justice for Trayvon” 

And not to be outdone…. Today The Orlando Sentinel’s reporter, Rene Stutzman,  runs quickly to the head of the parade to replace Ryan Julison.   Only this this time she brings a hit list with her to make it easier for the race provocateurs to locate their victims:

Judge releases names of Geo #Zimmerman jurors 8 months after he was acquitted in #Trayvon Martin case. http://t.co/xUqgJhiSAs

ORLANDO – The names of the six-member jury panel that acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin have been made public for the first time, after a new court order, records show. (more…)

The official narrative, of course, is that “violence”, and especially “gun violence” is the provence of  “Angry White Male Conservative Christians”.  This is a meme the Prog-enthralled media repeat over and over again. Wash, lather, rinse, repeat.
So, let’s do a little recap, shall we?
In March of 2008, conservative columnist and commenter Michelle Malkin did an admirable job highlighting the long history of “anti-War”, “anti-Military” acts of violence (in most examples, specifically targeting military recruiters working in the civilian community) intended to inflict terror which specifically had its genesis in the far Left.

WASHINGTON DC – US intelligence chiefs have confirmed that the National Security Agency has used a “back door” in surveillance law to perform warrantless searches on Americans’ communications.
The NSA’s collection programs are ostensibly targeted at foreigners, but in August the Guardian revealed a secret rule change allowing NSA analysts to search for Americans’ details within the databases.
Now, in a letter to Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat on the intelligence committee, the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, has confirmed the use of this legal authority to search for data related to “US persons”.
“There have been queries, using US person identifiers, of communications lawfully acquired to obtain foreign intelligence targeting non-US persons reasonably believed to be located outside the United States,” Clapper wrote in the letter, which has been obtained by the Guardian. (more…)

NORTH CAROLINA – House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) and Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) issued a joint statement Wednesday in response to more alarming evidence of voter error and fraud discovered by the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Initial findings from the Board presented to the Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committee today show:

• 765 voters with an exact match of first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in N.C. and the other state in the 2012 general election.
• 35,750 voters with the same first and last name and DOB were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in both states in the 2012 general election.
• 155,692 voters with the same first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state – and the latest date of registration or voter activity did not take place within N.C.

Gee, ya think.  Figured that out all on your own did ya ?

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) — The investigation into Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now classified as a criminal investigation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing the Malaysian police chief.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said authorities have already recorded more than 170 statements and will interview more people for the Flight 370 probe, the Journal said.

But Bakar cautioned that what happened with Flight 370 might still be unknown after the investigation.

He added that the investigation into the flight simulator in the pilot’s house is still inconclusive. Authorities are awaiting an expert’s report on the simulator, he said. (more…)

First – the brutally obvious.    Four years ago the claim was made that 7 million enrollees were needed for the *initial* phase of ObamaCare to be a success.    And well, what do you know, the figure the White House touts today as VICTORY on the very last day, was 7,041,000.

BREAKING: Affordable Care Act sign-ups hit 7M (!!!)

Gee – what are the odds ?
Second – The entire reason to try and get ObamaCare passed was supposedly to “insure the uninsured” and we were told there were 35 million uninsured in 2009.    Of the 7 million signups touted, 5 million are those who lost their coverage DUE TO ObamaCare creating policy cancellations and re-enrolled through ObamaCare.     Of the remaining 2 million *enrollees* they are also counting 1 million Medicaid signups.
So this 2,700 page, $3 trillion healthcare monstrosity boondoggle has generated, at best, insurance for 1 million out of the original 35 million uninsured. (more…)

MARION, N.Y. – The controversy surrounding the new Common Core-aligned standardized tests is causing some New York school leaders to act as childish and immature as the students they are supposed to be leading.
13WHAM.com reports at least 16 school districts in the Empire State have implemented a “sit and stare” policy for students who’ve been opted-out of the state assessments by their parents.
Such students “will have to sit at their desks without any other reading or testing materials, while all the students around them take the 60- to 90-minute exams,” the news site reports.
It’s not difficult to read between the lines here. The “sit and stare” policy is a way petty and vindictive school principals and superintendents can get back at parents who are pushing back against the Common Core experiment. (more…)
