The pop culture is a reflection of the social and political mores of the times.  The 1960’s were a heyday in Hollywood movie making.  Part of that is, in my opinion, because of the depth of talent in acting, directing and script writing.  Part of it is technological advancements.  Of course, home video equipment wasn’t available for another decade, so your movie watching was done either in a theater, or on television.

A “Real Conflict of Interest”… Unless you’re a Clinton.

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 †

As CEO of the Grievance Industry, and also head of all law enforcement, Attorney General Eric Holder threatens to file a lawsuit against the Ferguson Police Department if the department does not stop holding black residents accountable to laws.

Holder is essentially threatening to try and get a “consent decree” established which would require the Ferguson Police to have complete Civil Rights Division oversight for the duration of the decree.
If Holder proceeds, and the Ferguson PD does not back down, you can expect the DOJ to use the tenuous legal concept of “Disparate Impact” to advance their charges. (more…)

The full 20 minute press conference with DA John Champion is available HERE. After some initial review, here is some takeaway.

Champion outlines not only the timeline for Jessica’s activity on December 6th, but he also inadvertently timelines the investigative authority. Confirmed within the press conference is a confirmation the Panola County Sheriff’s Department, Sheriff Denis Darby, was the first law enforcement agency to respond to the murder (Saturday 12/6/14).
The next agency to assist on the case was the US Marshals Service (USMS), who became involved the next evening (Sunday 12/7/14), which is the same day DA Champion responded to the crime by arriving in Courtland Sunday afternoon.
The third agency was the Federal and/or State Alcohol Tobbacco and Firearms (ATF) team who engaged by the end of the first week due to the arson aspect of the case. Those agencies were soon followed by the FBI who, according to Champion and Darby, they asked for forensic and technical assistance. (more…)

Putting former Harvard University Professor Ashton Carter in charge of the U.S. Military for the last two years of President Obama’s tenure will show what happens when a person with ZERO military experience becomes Defense Secretary.

Carter is an academic policy wonk of the same mindset and world view as Samantha Power (now UN Ambassador and wife of former Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein). That comparative will become more evident as the next two years progress. There is nothing about Aston Carter, nor his individual opinion of the military, which would lend a person to believe there is any inherent qualification which would benefit the Defense Department.
To the contrary, Carter should be fully anticipated to weaken the Military, through policy, in the same way that Samantha Power has influenced foreign policy to diminish U.S. influence globally. He begins the process immediately with a decision to have a civilian, non-military, spokesperson represent the public face of the Pentagon. (more…)

(Via New York Mag) If you’re a lady walking down the street and you come upon a kitten covered in Nutella posing next to a poster of the nail emoji, beware! ISIS operatives could be lurking nearby, ready to recruit you and make you their jihadi brides — at least according to CNN.

On a segment aired Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Carol Costello discussed how ISIS is exploiting women’s three known weaknesses — Nutella, kittens, and emoji — to recruit them for the caliphate. (more…)

“There is no circumstance under which a man has a right to touch a woman without her consent other than self-defense” -Joe Biden (October 2000)
“No man has a right to touch a woman without her consent, and that’s what we’ve got to get across” – Joe Biden (May 1993)

Perhaps it’s just my cynical nature when it comes to the Obama Administration having researched their Machiavellian tendencies over the past six years. – However, someone, someone inside, someone very close to President Obama, has just set him up for a crow eating dinner.
This is no accident, mistake or ideological oversight.  Parts of this are a set-up.
President Obama supposedly penned an Op-Ed today through the LA Times. But I doubt seriously, having read the limited attributable writing of Barack Obama personally, it was actually the brain synapses of President Obama who constructed the literary words.
Obama does not write well, nor does he express his own opinions in writing well – his op-eds while attending Harvard affirm my opinion.
That said, whoever did write this on his behalf set him up for a massive fall. Within the first few paragraphs of the article itself you find this seemingly innocuous admission. Innocuous until you realize the scope of the inferred reversal: (more…)
