(Via Breitbart) It took the Washington Post 2,017 words and 59 paragraphs in a feature about Dorian Johnson, who initially said that his friend Michael Brown was shot in the back, to reveal that the federal government’s autopsy also reportedly did not find that to be the case.
As the Post noted in its profile of Dorian Johnson, Brown’s “body had been autopsied three times — once each by St. Louis County police, a pathologist hired by Brown’s family and federal authorities. All found that Brown had been shot at least six times, including twice in the head but not in the back.” The New York Times reported two weeks ago that the autopsy that the Brown family commissioned determined “that all the bullets were fired into his front.”
Johnson had initially told the media that Brown was struck in the back, giving rise the to the “hands up, don’t shoot” movement. Other witnesses, though, have indicated that Brown may have punched officer Darren Wilson, discharged his gun, and then charged at him again before the fatal shots. (more…)

Under Democrat governance the U.S. State Department has lost control, and is now openly being run by a college crowd of Brangelina beatniks. Let us not forget the 2010 WikiLeaks Cables’ fiasco which forced Secretary Hillary Clinton to fly around the globe for an entire year apologizing for the childish behavior of her underlings.

Under Secretary John Kerry, as unbelievable as this sounds, the lack of professionalism has actually worsened.

With all of the global challenges like: oh, say ISIS beheading U.S. citizens, Russia essentially invading Ukraine, Libya in a state of civil war, Syria destroyed from the inside out, North African radical islamists attacking and kidnapping non-muslims, Iran rushing to get a nuclear bomb, North Korea launching missile strikes and China replaying Tiananmen 2.0 – the State Department’s Marie Harf chooses to use her platform to attack Fox News Bill O’Reilly.

Oh what a tangled web is weaved…. How is it possible for the DOJ to be investigating an agency they themselves have colluded with to target political opponents? 

(Via The Washington Post)  Congress had little opportunity to debate the Internal Revenue Service’s missing-e-mail controversy while on break during the past month, but lawmakers will have plenty to talk about when they return next week.
One question likely to come up is why the IRS wiped out Lois Lerner’s Blackberry shortly after congressional staffers interviewed the then-IRS official about suspected targeting of conservative groups.
So far, the IRS has provided no answer.
The issue came to light last month after U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered the IRS to explain its efforts to recover emails that went missing when the former official’s hard drive crashed in 2011. (more…)

From cartoonist A.F. Branco at ComicallyIncorrect.com.

Unfortunately such is the state of current affairs. A prominent Egyptian official is telling his constituency, and the world, the reason Egypt and U.S. relations are so poor is because President Obama and John Kerry demand the Severe Islamists be included in policy decisions.
Egypt categorically rejects the considerations of radical Islamic extremism, and will not bow to pressure from the United States to be more accommodating toward the radicals within the Muslim Brotherhood.
Fatah el-Sisi is going to be speaking to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on September 25th. I’m thinking that David Cameron and President Obama should be forced to sit in the front row and listen to a real leader who understands the extremist problem.

(EGYPT) Nabil Fahmy, the former Egyptian foreign minister and a previous ambassador to the US, said that relations between Cairo and Washington remain strained because of the US’s insistence of allowing Islamists to participate in the political process.
In an Egyptian television interview on Sunday evening, Fahmy said that “the Americans have not appropriately learned the lesson of dealing with terrorism” and that they “contacted us constantly in order to integrate streams of political Islam into the political process,” the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry al-Youm reported.
He added, however, that Egypt “pursued the will of the people” and did not give in to outside pressure. (more…)

Sharyl Attkisson discusses quizzically why the Obama administration is being so secretive about the locations of the “Unaccompanied Alien Children“:

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit says: 47,000 Illegal Alien Children are missing in the U.S.
No… No…. No…  No-one is MISSING. THEY NEVER EXISTED. EVER.
We began documenting two months ago the “border crisis” of unaccompanied alien children, UAC’s, was a pure ruse, a figment. Constructed simply to create the optics of crisis and support the demand for comprehensive immigration reform prior to the congressional recess. (more…)

Finding the location of Dorian Johnson mere minutes after the shooting of “Big Mike” Brown has profound implications toward understanding the events that took place when Officer Darren Wilson shot “Big Mike” Brown in Ferguson Missouri.

Initially during our research we identified Dorian in the Northwestern quadrant of the Canfield apartment complex nearby the three witnesses who made the New York Media circuit:  Tiffany Mitchell, Piaget Crenshaw and Michael Brady.
This quadrant was where most of the broadcast media footage was taken during the immediate aftermath to the shooting.   This was also where Dorian, Tiffany and Piaget gave their initial media interviews with the guidance of activist, Anthony Shahid, and Mike Brown cousin, Calvin Ewings.
Finding Dorian amid this crowd helped us to understand the origin of the “Hands Up” narrative.   But that initial Dorian interview was an hour after the shooting – with a considerable crowd around, and after a second phase police perimeter was established.
However, Treeper LJP has identified a much earlier position of Dorian Johnson which is vitally important to understanding other pieces of the puzzle.
Much earlier pieces. (more…)

This has to be the least surprising headline of the summer.  It would be far less obvious if the DOJ were just to put out a big neon sign saying:

“We can’t find anything to substantiate the arrest or conviction of Officer Darren Wilson, so in order to appease the professional grievance community, and in an attempt to stop riots and general mayhem, we will announce a program to make the police department jump through PC hoops for the next five years – good enough”?

(Washington Post) Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. this week will launch a broad civil rights investigation into the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department, according to two federal law enforcement officials.
The investigation, which could be announced as early as Thursday afternoon, will be conducted by the Justice Department’s civil rights division and follow a process similar to that used to investigate complaints of profiling and the use of excessive force in other police departments across the country, the officials said.
The move follows the shooting last month of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African American, by a white Ferguson police officer who claimed he acted in self-defense. Brown, who was unarmed, was shot at least six times on the afternoon of Aug. 9.
Holder’s decision will represent the Obama administration’s most aggressive step to address the Ferguson shooting, which set off days of often-violent clashes between police and demonstrators in the streets of the St. Louis suburb. (more…)

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 †
