Reposted by Media Request to include the following – In a recent Miami Herald article, Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon’s Mom, reportedly stated:

Fulton said it still hurts when she hears negative things said about her son.  She wishes she had talked more about his personality, how he liked going skating, talking to girls on the phone and how he practically lived at Forzano Park in Miramar . That’s where he played football and worked in the concession stand.   (This B.S. – According to Frances Robles)

If the propaganda consequence(s) were not so serious this would be considered sarcastically funny.   Sybrina couldn’t talk about his [Trayvon’s] personality because she didn’t know the kid™ – he did not live with her.    Trayvon™ tattooed mommy’s name on his wrist as a tribute of sorts to the mental imagery of a parent he never knew, and it was not HER name on that tattoo parlor “parental minor consent notification/permission” waiver.   Further evidenced by her obviously not knowing he™ had not played football in almost 5 years, and it had been four years since he™ stepped foot in the Miramar concession stand.  (Insert Registered Trademarked imagery here) (more…)

(Via Ricochet) [A] friend who is a congressional staffer told me about this riveting interview of David Keene, president of the NRA, by CBS’ Bob Schieffer. Keene does a good job of pleasantly responding to Schieffer’s biased and inaccurate questions.

The part that struck me? Schieffer asks if the NRA will support a ban on “military-style assault weapons,” saying that “even” police chiefs support that. Keene explains that military-style weapons are fully automatic and that the bans being proposed are actually of semi-automatic weapons. They oppose those ban attempts. Schieffer says, showing his ignorance of how semi-automatic weapons work, “How many rounds can these weapons discharge in five seconds?” Keene says, well, “They fire when you pull the trigger.” Schieffer says, yeah, “And they keep firing.” Keene explains that “No, they don’t keep firing.” (more…)

After a full two weeks of 24/7 psychological operations by the media on firearm ownership the Obama-left is not able to significantly budge the public opinion needle on Gun Ownership;  And if that wasn’t bad enough news for entrenched ideologues, most Americans still have favorable opinion of National Rifle Association.

WASHINGTON – The atrocities in Newtown constituted a turning point in the Beltway debate on gun control, with Democrats now preparing to introduce – and President Obama vowing to pass – new legislation aimed at further restricting gun ownership. The tragedy in Connecticut seems to have had a similar effect on journalists, who have been even more outspoken, it seems, in the wake of this tragedy than in other instances.

Whether their sentiments are shared by the public at large, though, is another question, and a new USA Today poll suggests that they’re not. The most surprising finding comes in the last line of the story linked above: “The USA TODAY/Gallup poll found 54% have a favorable opinion of the NRA, down six points from 2005, but generally in line with a series of polls done from 1993-2000.” (read more)

Facing a looming committee investigation, and the very real potential for serious criminal charges, Richard follows a similar White House move:

Richard Windsor has quit her job as EPA Administrator. 

Interestingly the announcement by the White House was followed in less than 1 Minute 30 Seconds with the following AP Report.  Lisa Jackson Resigns: EPA Administrator Stepping Down:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration’s chief environmental watchdog, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, is stepping down after a nearly four-year tenure marked by high-profile brawls over global warming pollution, the Keystone XL oil pipeline, new controls on coal-fired plants and several other hot-button issues that affect the nation’s economy and people’s health.

Jackson, the agency’s first black administrator, constantly found herself caught between administration pledges to solve controversial environmental problems and steady resistance from Republicans and industrial groups who complained that the agency’s rules destroyed jobs and made it harder for American companies to compete internationally.  (continue reading)

Please notice that no-where in the AP report, which is quite a dissertation on her tenure, is the name Richard Windsor. (more…)

Panera Bread Co. is opening its fifth pay-what-you-can model in Boston next month.  The newest Panera Cares cafe will be located across from Boston City Hall, the Boston Globe reported.

“Nobody thought this could be done,” Panera founder and Co-CEO Ron Shaich said. Panera Cares’ donation-based concept asks customers to pay the suggested retail price, more or less, depending on what they can pay. “I love figuring it out and seeing how it could work.”

Panera is spending $1 million to open the store; vendors donated $80,000 worth of furniture, lighting and other items.

The first Panera Cares opened in May 2010 in Clayton, followed by others in Dearborn, Mich.; Portland, Ore.; and Chicago. (more…)
