Earlier in the week we shared with you the story of a large riot in Tampa Florida at the state fair.   Now the County Sheriff, David Gee, is coming under fire for sending a letter to members of his appointed Black Advisory Council for help.

The Black community is outraged the sheriff would have the audacity to point out the identical racial profiles of the people involved in the riot.   How dare he….

TAMPA (FOX 13) – New video released Tuesday by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office shows  the start of what would become a massive stampede of rowdy students at the  Florida State Fair that led to dozens of ejections and several arrests.

The video was shot by a vendor and handed over to investigators as they try  to identify victims and make more arrests in connection to the organized  stampede known as “wilding.”

“It’s more of a giant stampede, and that’s kind of the beginning of it that  you see on that video,” explained Col. Jim Previtera. “It does give a brief  glimpse of what ‘wilding’ looks like.”

[…]   Sheriff David Gee, meanwhile, sent a letter to leaders in the African  American community, asking for their help. (more…)

I love Mike Rowe.  I’ve been following him on Facebook for a while now, and he seems to be a practical, logical guy who loves this country.

This past week, Mike has been involved in a controversy over a commercial voice-over that he did for Walmart that ran the other night during the coverage of the Olympics.    Here’s the video, called, “I am A Factory”, in case you missed it (I did):

WASHINGTON DC – On Tuesday, the Senate Conservatives Fund called for the ouster of House Speaker John Boehner. Now the SCF, originally founded by Sen. Jim DeMint and run by a close DeMint associate, has launched the harshest attack yet on its No. 1 target, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The SCF likens McConnell’s leadership of the Senate to Internal Revenue Service harassment of conservatives. (CONTINUE READING)

Keith Judd, the convict who ran for President, became somewhat of a  celebrity after almost beating Obama in the 2012 West Virginia Democratic  Primary. What wasn’t reported, however, was that after Obama won the  presidential election, Judd filed a series of lawsuits detailing how Obama was  illegally placed on the 2012 presidential ballot. One lawsuit, filed on May 9,  2013, is scheduled to be heard before a federal court in the next few months.  (continue reading)

A recent review of another Washington Post article discussing Attorney General Eric Holder’s goal to reinstate voting rights of convicted felons shows an odd progressive disconnect. 

Essentially, the post article outlines the goal is really to get black Democrats their right to vote in key swing states.    {Insert a generically obtuse “DUH” sound here}   But what strikes as odd is the unspoken reality:

Holy smokes more than 20% of black people have committed felonies ?

(Washington Post)  Reason Why Holder Suddenly Wants Felons To Vote: More Than 20% of Blacks In Swing States Can’t Vote Because They’ve Been Convicted of a Felony.

In Florida, more than one in five black adults can’t vote. Not because they lack citizenship or haven’t registered, but because they have, at some point, been convicted of a felony.

The Sunshine State’s not alone. As in Florida, more than 20 percent of black adults have lost their right to vote in Kentucky and Virginia, too, according to the Sentencing Project, a group that advocates for reforms to sentencing policy that reduces racial disparities. (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 †

The Curious Case of Ms. Rahinah Ibrahim

The story around the detention of Rahinah Ibrahim is so astounding a person of normal cognitive capacity might be unable to actually comprehend it.    She was stopped, detained, searched, hand-cuffed and then placed on a no-fly list back in 2005.   She sued the U.S. government to find out why:

After seven years of litigation, two trips to a federal appeals court and $3.8 million worth of lawyer time, the public has finally learned why a wheelchair-bound Stanford University scholar was cuffed, detained and denied a flight from San Francisco to Hawaii: FBI human error. (link)

The Error:  An FBI agent/investigator named Kevin Kelly was investigating Muslims in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004 when he mistakenly checked the wrong box on a terrorism form, erroneously placing Rahinah Ibrahim on the no-fly list.   Kelly simply checked the wrong box on a generic administrative form.

What followed is almost nine years of *EXTREME* governmental denial, by some of the biggest well known names in DOJ, NSA, and Homeland Security.   They, on behalf of the U.S. government, used every national security avoidance argument, all of it, all.of.it, simply to cover-up a simple clerical mistake.

D’oh – Even after President Milli Vanilli has been shown to lip-sync (teleprompter needed) in an effort to make appearance of actual intellect, the band brand management continues to maintain the ruse of competency.

(Daily Caller) White House officials have quietly changed an official transcript to hide President Barack Obama’s embarrassing historical error during his international press conference with French President Francois Hollande.

Obama’s error came when he misnamed Alexis de Tocqueville, a clear-eyed Frenchman who explained the subtle miracle of American culture and democracy in the 1830s. His book is a classic, partly because his insights about Americans’ social equality and civic society have become commonplace among centrists and conservatives.

But Obama called him “Alex” in front of the French and U.S. press, and while facing banks of TV cameras. (more…)
