Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby has dropped all charges against the remaining police officers (video below).  All charges were dropped against all the officers who faced trial in connection with the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray April 2015.

The decision was announced during pretrial motions for Officer Garrett Miller, who was the next to face charges of second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment.

Four Baltimore officers previously stood trial.  Judge Barry Williams acquitted three: Edward Nero, Officer Caesar Goodson Jr. and Lt. Brian Rice.

William Porter’s trial ended in a hung jury in December, and was scheduled for a retrial in  September. Garrett Miller was beginning today, and Alicia White had a court date in October.  The charges against these officers has been withdrawn.

However, stunningly, in announcing her decision Marilyn Mosby actually blamed the black judge, Barry Williams, for her decision.  Excerpt from the Baltimore Sun (emphasis mine): (more…)

Everything about day #2 leading up to the nomination of Hillary Clinton was carefully planned, scripted, controlled and executed.  However, once Bernie Sanders endorsed Secretary Clinton via a rules change request throwing all delegate votes to Hillary, the vast majority of movement democrats left the arena.

Immediately following the roll call vote, the DNC quickly moved to bar any pro-sanders signage from the venue.  Anyone holding Sanders signs was warned they were subject to forced removal and loss of convention credentials.   Outside the arena the Bernie Sanders supporters gathered to voice their protest to the strong arm tactics.  Here’s what happened next:

The collusion media machine goes into overdrive to cover-up the fractured party and prop up the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.  Just another day in the MSM….

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

On Day #1 of the DNC convention, the democrat party received a significant amount of ridicule on social media for constructing a make-shift wall around the stage. (pictured left)

The wall was made of metal barricades covered in blue cloth to disguise the barrier.

However, the optics were terrible, and the DNC is all about theater and the optics.

For Day #2 it appears the DNC modified their security wall to make it less obvious to the camera’s covering the convention, and the viewers watching:

Open discussion thread for anyone following the DNC convention in Philadelphia:

Two jihadists wielding knives entered a church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, Normandy, during mass.  Two nuns and two parishioners were taken hostage, one nun is seriously injured.  The 84-year-old priest, Father Jacques Hamel (pictured left), was forced to kneel down and his throat was slashed while one of the Islamists’ filmed the murder.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack and saying the butchery was carried out by two Islamic State soldiers. The two jihadists were known terror threats and wore ankle monitors, they were later shot by French police. An additional person has been detained as part of investigation.

French President Francois Hollande says he very angry now, and pledges to fight ISIS “using all means possible”.  With the ISIS attacks continuing inside France, Mr. Hollande has not ruled out the need for a sternly worded letter. (more…)
