The Chicago Narrative – Obama and Holder Jump In Quickly To Protect Dem Mayor Emanuel and Ideologue David Axelrod… "Here Come The Feds" !!

Something optically devastating is looming on the Chicago skyline, and it looks remarkably like Detroit 2.0.


CNN has been running a network series “Chicago”.   They’ve been trying to frame an apologetic and sympathetic narrative around former White House Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.     They couldn’t have picked a worse time to try and sell the propaganda. 
In what can only be called ‘grandiose irony’,  facts on the ground run counter to the CNN narrative.   So much so, that Chicago is becoming a parody of itself.   The educational system is collapsing with unions entrenched in budgetary battles demanding more and more graft while students fail at astonishing rates.   Constructs of society are collapsing and crime, violent crime, is increasing exponentially;  spurred on by violent gang activity, and it’s spreading.   
Easter weekend 44 people shot, 8 dead, and no-one is brave enough to actually discuss the root cause.   The politically correct talking points don’t let you dare point out the fatherless wild thugs running amuck.   Families who do believe in the strength of a two parent household are fleeing the metropolis for safer life elsewhere.  
Chicago, the self described home of President Obama, where he never visits, is dangerously close to becoming a political liability; and if there’s one thing this White House excels at – it’s controlling political risk.    Chicago is another petri-dish for the dangerous consequences of Democrat social engineering to gain publicity.
Subsequently….   HERE COME The FEDS !!  Or more accurately, HERE COME THE STORM TROOPERS !!
CHICAGO – The federal government is offering help to the city of Chicago in the fight to end violence in the streets. The special section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office will target drugs and guns.

Roseanne Barr Responds To Zimmerman Lawsuit: "Yeah,… So?"

Barr-300x225ORLANDO, FL –  Yeah, I tweeted the address of George Zimmerman’s parents, comedienne Roseanne Barr acknowledged in court paperwork this week, but she’s also hired five lawyers to defend her against their lawsuit.
On Monday, those lawyers filed paperwork, asking an Orlando federal judge to throw out the suit filed last month by Robert Zimmerman Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman, who accuse Barr of violating their privacy and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
Barr did post their address on Twitter on March 28 or 29, 2012, she and her lawyers concede, but it an accident – she meant to reply to just one person, they wrote.

MH-370 Updates – Searchers Close To Headed Back To Drawing Board – Anything Is Becoming Possible Again, Including "Landing"…

A couple of thoughts before the article.   First, it’s good to see some independent analysts openly reminding people the Inmarsat data was symmetrical not directional.   Meaning the ‘handshakes’ with the satellite could have happened on either Northern or Southern arcs.    Beyond guessing, and apart from the detected 4 pings, there is no empirical evidence to suggest the flight headed South.
Secondly, the search area identified by the Towed Ping Locator, which identified four signals they thought were MH370 black boxes,  has now been completely searched, no plane.    From the location of the 1st signal to the location of the 4th signal (North and South, East and West) the entire ‘ping-grid’ per se’, has now been swept by sonar imaging and they have found nothing.
The plane has been missing for more than six weeks and sources are now considering the previously unthinkable prospect that it has landed somewhere
(Via Daily Mail) The fruitless search for the missing Malaysian Airlines jet might have to start all over again from scratch if no clues to its fate are found in coming days, it was claimed today.
The international team searching the Indian Ocean for the Boeing 777 are now considering the seemingly impossible scenario of the aircraft having ‘landed’ somewhere, instead of crashing in the southern Indian Ocean. (more…)

BGI Fail – SCOTUS Upholds Michigan Ban On Racial Preference's For College Admissions…

The ruling was 6-2 with only a Sotomayor splodey’….

Washington (CNN) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Michigan law banning the use of racial criteria in college admissions, a key decision in an unfolding legal and political battle nationally over affirmative action.
The Supremes 2012

The justices found 6-2 that a lower court did not have the authority to set aside the measure approved in a 2006 referendum supported by 58% of voters.

It bars publicly funded colleges from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor reacted sharply in disagreeing with the decision. (more…)

Conflicted Interests – GAO Report Shows HHS Sebelius Pressured Groups She Regulated To Provide Assistance To Sell ObamaCare….

Suppose you don’t like dogs too much and your boss walks up to you and says: “hey, about that raise you requested…. I’m going to be considering it this weekend during my golf trip to Florida and I need someone to watch my dog – will you look after him while I’m away” ?   Would you feel pressure to do it ?

It seems like Ms. Sebelius announced her resignation just before this GAO report surfaced. Hmmm, curiosor and curiosor….
Kathleen_Sebelius 4WASHINGTON DC – Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius maneuvered one of America’s richest liberal philanthropies into contributing $13 million to Enroll America, a group founded by a former Obama White House staffer to drive up insurance enrollment numbers under the Affordable Care Act.
A report issued Monday by the Government Accountability Office shows what Republican members of Congress ave anticipated learning since 2013: that Sebelius called a total of five organizations a year ago and urged them to help Enroll America reach its goals.
One call went to the CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which made $3 million and $10 grants to the group after hearing her request. That amount was a dramatic increase from the $150,000 it had contributed the previous year.
