11:00pm (EST)Apparently people inside the stadium were/are unaware of the chaos going on outside the stadium.

Toward that end Erdogan built himself a grand and opulent palace, aligned himself with ISIS radicals, and provided a safe-harbor for exiled Muslim Brotherhood leadership after Qatar kicked them out for advocating extremist violence. Yes, even Qatar, home of the GITMO 5, realized the Brotherhood leadership were essentially ISIS sycophants. However, Erdogan viewed them as ideological brethren deserving of more than a little sympathy.
Erdogan is ‘all-in’ toward his goals of recreating a modern Ottoman Empire. Nothing was going to stand in his way; even if it meant killing journalists who were exposing his extremist plans. Erdogan even jails people who make fun of him, and shut down Twitter just because it posed a threat to his power. However, today he suffered a significant, well, actually a devastating, setback.

….. And yet no-one heard anything? Seriously?
Question: How exactly do you cut through rebar and a two steel 1/4″ thick steam pipes, in the middle of the night, and yet no-one could hear it happening? Answer: You don’t.
Only one logical possibility: The escapees didn’t do it during the middle of the night. The construction workers who were doing work on the facility did the noisy cutting work during the day at some point, any point, days or even weeks prior to the escape.

Update: The local HOA community was having an end of school year event at the pool. A twitter party organizer who goes by Keef_Cakez of Young KC sent out unauthorized invitations which led to around 70-100 people showing up -who are not from the neighborhood- they jumped the fence and mobbed the scene:
The pool party was advertised on social media. Homeowners say none of the nearly 70 people were allowed to be there pic.twitter.com/pZZy9htEK3

Of course, with limited details other than a video being taken during the chaos, the “Black Lives Matter” crowd immediately jumps into full racist cops mode. Details sketchy (language warning on the video below)

Disparate Impact is the social justice legalese term when an innocuous process or qualification standard disqualifies minority applicants at a higher rate than non-minorities.
‘Legal work status’ for employment eligibility is another insane example of applying “disparate impact” rules. Because, as the theory applies, Hispanics are disqualified from employment at a greater rate than non-Hispanics -when employment eligibility is reviewed- it is therefore unlawful to use a standard of a social security number check (for eligible employment authenticity) when considering job applicants.
In essence, this is why progressives don’t like “card-check” systems; and, in a more broad sense this is why President Obama tried to institute employment eligibility in his Executive action last fall.
Any qualification standard that adversely impacts minorities more than non-minorities is considered racist; the same applies to testing candidates.
(Via Daily Caller) A federal judge in New York has struck down a test used by New York City to vet potential teachers, finding the test of knowledge illegally discriminated against racial minorities due to their lower scores.
At first glance, the city’s second Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST-2) seems fairly innocuous. Unlike the unfair literacy tests of Jim Crow, LAST-2 was given to every teaching candidate in New York, and it was simply a test to make sure that teachers had a basic high school-level understanding of both the liberal arts and the sciences.

If Black Lives really Matter, one would think the protesting crowd is doing it wrong. Does anyone think there might be a connection between Baltimore and Saint Louis…. Hmm
Saint Louis – If the current homicide rate continues, St. Louis will have most homicides in 30 years. Since January, there have been 70 homicides in the St. Louis area. If the trend continues, there will be a total of 168 homicides by December, the most since 1985. (Crime Stat pdf)
Baltimore – […] The 42 homicides in May marked the deadliest month in the city since August 1990, which also had 42 killings. The city has seen a surge in violence since the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, and the charging of six officers involved in his arrest on May 1. (link)

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 †
One might think a passing notation from our president would be appropriate for an anniversary where 6,500 allies, mostly American, died every single day, from the beginning of D-Day to the end of the Normandy Campaign on August 21st 1944, when the tide turned in our favor and Nazi Germany began their retreat.
One might think, but you’d also be wrong.
No, instead President Obama choses to focus his weekly address today on his pledge to continue allowing illegal immigration to undermine the very essence of American Exceptionalism. After all, it is prudent to remember, President Obama has priorities.
But even in his self-appreciative ego-driven proclamations of his own magnanimity, he still hides the underlying truth. His “executive action” was far more than he pontificates in the message above. (prompted to 02:08 through 02:35 so you can see for yourself)
President Obama declares his November 2014 actions; he describes them: (more…)
