Two Years Later – Al Sharpton Steps Up To Condemn "Knock Out Attacks" and The Behavior Of Trayvon Martin…

Mob ViolenceAt the Wisconsin State Fair in 2011 the Modern Version of the racially driven Knock Out Game began. Throughout 2011, 2012 and 2013 the attacks continued with exponential fury in St. Louis, Atlanta, Baltimore, Virginia Beach, Miami, New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey. 
The actual behavior comes under several differing geographic names.  “Knock Out Game”, “Polar Bear Hunting”, “Flash Mob” or just “Cracking”.
The most famous perpetrator of such an attack was a 17-year-old named Trayvon Martin.  Martin’s victim did not get knocked out in the first punch. You probably never actually knew about it, because the media chose to highlight the action of the white-Hispanic victim who shot his thug attacker in the heart as he defended himself.
However, recently the media began to catch on because several back-to-back attacks in New York and Washington DC have been highlighted. Fox and CBS news began pointing out the specific intents of these crimes and the injury and deaths they have caused. (more…)

Mailboxes and Old Barns: Dance with Us!

Last week I asked for help to have an MBOB ready to go for your Sunday reading. Stella jumped right in when I asked, and shared some of her mailboxes and some of her old barns. Created quite the discussion, too – thank you again, stella.
mbob2Since October 18 when my husband had a routine hernia repair, we have been on what sometimes looked like a wild goose chase. I imagine that some days we have sort of looked like Gilligan’s three hour tour – we set out on a simple outing and have been quite unable to find our way back to the shore we left. Finally, a week ago this last Friday, we understood that we were in an entirely different world, not of our choosing. (more…)

6th Grade Mississippi – "Only Do This Assignment In Class" and "Don't Tell Your Parents"…

6th Grade students given a rather concerning political identification assignment they are only allowed to do “in class”, along with an instruction “not to tell your parents about it”. Of course one of the Rebel Alliance members snuck the assignment sheet out of class and specifically told their mom/dad. Hence, you are now getting to review it.  “Are You A Democrat Or Republican”?
(Tupelo Mississippi) While it is unclear if this is explicitly a Common Core assignment or not, a group of students today in Tupelo, MS had quite an interesting assignment. The sixth graders at Milam Elementary were given an assignment to do in class, and they were not to discuss this assignment with their parents.

[…]  students are asked a battery of questions (Abortion, Gun Control, Healthcare, Taxes, Military, Death Penalty, Prayer In Schools, Gay Marriage, Pollution, Flag burning) each answer contains a (D) or an (R) next to it.  Ultimately students have their answers tallied up by the teacher and are graded as either (D) or (R).  Click Here For Hi-res Image

Naturally, telling a group of kids between the ages of ten and eleven to not tell their parents about an assignment is probably the surest way for them to tell their parents. In fact, it is typically a way to ensure a student sneaks a copy home. (more…)

Update: Obama Announces Deal With Iran !! Immediate End To Sanctions, Immediate Financial Relief…. in exchange for "their promise"..

Update:  Here’s announcement:

No doubt Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett are putting the final touches and approvals together for POTUS to obfuscate in a propaganda speech.   They, along with the Cintons and Samantha Powers, will need to construct the verbiage carefully to hide their intention of undermining the Progressive Fabian arch-nemesis, Israel.   Choosing to announce at 10:30 on football night lets them slip in a few s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s !

Why Lie ? – Poll: If voters had known they’d lose insurance, Romney would have won 49-45

Mitt Romney - Ann Romney(Via Daily Caller) If voters had been aware last year that they might lose their health-care plans when Obamacare went into effect, Republican President Mitt Romney would be sitting in the White House today, according to a poll released Friday.
A Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Research survey conducted from Nov. 18-20 asked voters who supported President Barack Obama in 2012: “As you may know, millions of Americans have lost their insurance plans despite President Obama’s promise that, quote, ‘if you like your plan, you can keep it.’ If you knew in 2012 that this promise was not true, would you still have voted for Barack Obama?”
In response, 23 percent said they would not have voted to re-elect Obama, while 72 percent said they would still have voted for him. The largest number of defections were among female voters ages 18-54, 31 percent of whom said they would not have supported the president. (more…)

Army Optics – Gender Integration Lead Col. Resigns Post After Saying: “In general, ugly women are perceived as competent while pretty women are perceived as having used their looks to get ahead.”

[Via Politico]  The Army colonel who wrote an internal email suggesting public affairs  officers use photos of “average-looking women” when they need to illustrate  stories about female soldiers has stepped down as the leader of an Army study on  gender integration.

Obama Lies Because No-one Ever Holds Him Accountable – Why Obama Can't Wave Away This Scandal

Maya_Angelou_Obama_600(Via New York Post)  People are puzzled: Why would Barack Obama have lied about how wonderfully everything was going to go with ObamaCare when officials in his administration knew perfectly well that disaster was going to strike?
In one sense, the answer is simple: At the time, just before Oct. 1, Republicans were insisting ObamaCare be delayed or defunded. The president and his team weren’t going to give the enemy the satisfaction of agreeing — or the potent ammunition that would have come from a rueful admission the system wasn’t ready.
Today, a bipartisan agreement to delay ObamaCare seems like it would have been a pretty good deal. It didn’t look that way at all in the last two weeks of September.
But there’s a deeper reason he and his people lied: They did it because they could. They did it because nearly five years in the White House had given Obama and his team confidence they would not face the music and they could finesse the problems until they got fixed. (more…)
