Jaw dropping, then again, maybe not-so-much.  This is a continuation of a several year effort (Black Lives Matter) to claim the police are to blame for their efforts to stop unlawful behavior. [Watch the video]
(Via MRCTV) Everett D. Mitchell is the Director of Community Relations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also an attorney, pastor, and community leader.

At a recent panel discussing “Best Policing Practices,” Mitchell said that police should stop prosecuting individuals who shoplift from Wal-Mart and Target. (more…)

Gobsmacking.  I don’t care who they are, they need to be held accountable before the law.
(Daily Mail)  NASA employees were caught buying child pornography from a criminal ring in Eastern Europe that distributed images of minors as young as three, it can be revealed.
An investigation by Daily Mail Online found 16 staff members from the space agency paid for pictures and videos of children in sexual situations, but were never prosecuted. Their names have never been released because of government guidelines which protect their privacy – prompting fears some of the culprits are still employed by NASA. (more…)

Here’s a question.  Given the current landscape, and understanding the full plan of the GOPe, and accepting we are a low budget operation (LOL), we’re establishing another series of “tripwires” to watch.

We’ve already staked out a BIG TRIPWIRE long before anyone was paying attention to it.  However, we still have a lot of people who refuse to see/accept the flares as they are triggered; but, fortunately, more eyes open as each occurs. So we’re moving forward to set another perimeter.
It’s a given that Rick Perry will be the first of the GOPe crew to drop out.  His “splitter value” has greatly diminished – and he’s essentially irrelevant now.
The RNC/GOPe planners are now in the refinement and reaffirmation (Bush at Border) phase.  So the question becomes:
Who will be 2nd GOPe candidate that Team Donohue can afford to lose? (more…)

Let’s cut to the chase on this story.  The city council is not taking its time to determine the validity of a restaurant permit; the City Council is seeking legal advice on what might happen if they deny such a permit.
It’s a ridiculous, and quite scarey era, we live in when approval of a business license is dependent on the political affiliation of the owner.
COLORADO – The Denver City Council is taking its time deciding whether Chick-fil-A, whose CEO is opposed to gay marriage, should be allowed to open a restaurant in the Denver airport.
The City Council has voted to take two weeks “to look at the policies involved” before voting on whether Chick-fil-A would be approved to fry chicken bits in the Denver International Airport.
The City Council, which made its ruling last week, told CNNMoney on Monday that Denver “has been at the forefront of honoring gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees and their families with non-discrimination clauses and partner benefits.”
The fast food chain’s opposition to gay marriage is what gave the city council “pause.” (more…)

The Charge Of The Main Street Vulgarian Has Begun !

Much like the battle at Thermopylae Donald Trump chose the political landscape which removes the Jeb Bush numerical advantage. And today he just hit the lead general right where it hurts:

As we shared yesterday, Trump has three audiences. In this example he just nailed Jeb in his most exposed vulnerability.

[…] Donald Trump is talking to Wall Street. Like the RNC, Trump knows full well the preferred candidate for Wall Street is Jeb Bush. He needs to make their support for Bush a losing proposition; no-one on Wall Street likes to lose. In essence he is creating a self fulfilling prophecy for them. Again, he’s masterful at exposing their weakening flank, their only winning play will be to support him, reluctantly – on his terms. (link)

There has been much talk of wall building amid the punditry regarding Donald Trump, but the most effective wall candidate Trump’s building is actually between the Bush Campaign and the Wall Street financiers who are both Jeb’s treasury and armory. (more…)

Donald Trump is pouring sunlight upon the entire crowd behind the GOPe curtain.  Two weeks ago you saw George Will saying “the Trump supporters (vulgarians) needed to come to the Republican party on our terms, not theirs“; last week Charles Krauthammer said “it’s impossible to deport illegal aliens“; meanwhile the entire class of elite republicans are apoplectic at the thought of Donald Trump winning the GOP primary.
As the sunlight poured upon them another professional GOP Consultant, Rick Wilson, took aim at the Republican base, and hours later directed his hatred toward Ann Coulter saying: “Does Trump pay you more for anal“.

However, the latest sunlight comes from GOP consultant Alex Castellanos who was questioned about how the GOP could stop Donald Trump.  As shared via Breitbart: (more…)

So the crowd sang it anyway. Video below:

(Via Todd Starnes) There was no halftime show under the Friday night lights at Mississippi’s Brandon High School — the marching band had been benched.
The band was ordered off the field because the Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art” was a part of their halftime show — in violation of a federal court order.
“The Rankin County School Board and District Office are very saddened students will not be able to perform their halftime show they have worked so hard on this summer,” the district wrote in a statement to the Clarion Ledger newspaper.
In 2013 a student sued the district over a series of Christian meetings that had been held on school property, the newspaper reported. The district later settled the lawsuit and acknowledged they had violated the student’s First Amendment rights. (more…)

This is a follow up to this story:
 NEW ORLEANS — A Louisiana trooper died Monday after he was shot by an apparently stranded motorist who stood over the officer and told him afterward, “You’re lucky — you’re going to die soon.”
Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, died at a hospital in Lake Charles after being shot in the head over the weekend by a man whose pickup truck was stuck sideways in a ditch, Col. Mike Edmonson said.
“This loss exacts an enormous emotional toll on the state police family, but we will do what is necessary and proper to honor Steve and support those who knew and loved him,” Edmonson said in a statement Monday morning. (more…)
