The post-Ferguson crime wave continues unabated.  Last week Saint Louis police asked for more help as they were no longer able to contain the rampant violence previously approved by Democrat city leadership.

SAINT LOUIS – A woman in the West End neighborhood who looked outside to check on a car alarm was shot in the chest Monday morning, five hours before St. Louis police were scheduled to blanket the neighborhood with more patrols.
The woman, 36, was conscious as paramedics rushed her to a hospital, where she was listed in critical but stable condition.
She had heard a car alarm sounding at about 5:15 a.m. Monday in the 5900 block of Horton Place. The woman looked outside and saw four men tampering with her car, said Police Maj. Gerald Leyshock. They saw her and fired shots in her direction. One of the bullets came through her window and hit her in the chest. (more…)

You can’t make this stuff up. Ashley Judd actually believes Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate for President since Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.

Based on ‘what’ exactly? An ideological first lady who leveraged her political influence into a New York Senate bid, which led to an actual presidential campaign based on absolutely ZERO executive experience; which immediately created an appointment to become the most failed person executing foreign policy as Secretary of State.
Anyone remember the WikiLeaks Cable leaks/controversy in her first years’ tenure?… Which led to an entire wasted year of diplomatic apology…. Then came the Libyan fiasco which led to Benghazi…. etc. And we cannot forget the support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt…..  What exactly would anyone call a success during Hillary’s entire political life?
Perhaps we should ask the Egyptian people (more…)

The #BlackLivesMatter, #Ferguson, #ICan’tBreathe crowd of communist agitators, social engineers and cultural Marxists protest against Al Sharpton’s NAN headquarters in New York.
Reverend Al Sharpton hits back at the protestors telling them they “are being played the way a pimp talks to his ho”; which begs the question: who are the pimps and who be the ho?

NEW YORK – Today, the 60-year-old reverend responded to the growing challenge by lashing out at younger activists, addressing them in a speech to his congregants.
“They are pimping you,” he said, referring to activists who he said were trying to divide young protesters from the older generation of activists. (more…)

As a complement to Sundance’s article about the budget and “other peoples’ money”, this is a repeat post.

“The rich should pay their fair share.” 
…”when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“Nobody’s ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money.”
”The central lie here being getting rich through hard, honest work. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten rich without the determination of screwing other people out of their money.”
“Romney never created any jobs. He only created wealth for his partners. There is a big difference.”

The last time a federal budget was passed into law was September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 and it was signed by President Bush. President Obama has not had a single day in office with a federal budget, EVER.

For the first time in six years President Obama will actually meet a statutorily required deadline for submitting a federal budget. The Executive Branch budget proposals are due by the first Monday in February; however Obama usually blows off the rules. I digress.
This 2016 proposal is a little disingenuous no?

…”The president’s budget features a six-year, $478 billion public works program for upgrading the nation’s infrastructure, including roads, railroads and ports”….

Didn’t congress spend $1,000,000,000,000.00 (trillion) on Obama’s “stimulus plan”, aka “shovel ready jobs”, aka “American Reinvestment and Recovery Act”, for public works in 2009/2010? And what exactly did we get out of that little expenditure?
WASHINGTON DC – President Obama will unveil a $4 trillion budget Monday, featuring an ambitious public works program, a one-time tax on foreign profits kept overseas by corporations, tax credits for middle-class Americans, and a 1.3 percent pay raise for federal employees and troops. (more…)
