You won’t see this reported with any intellectual honesty or accuracy, let alone high visibility, because the truth no longer fits the progressive media narrative.

After spending dozens of hours and infinite numbers of media predictions claiming the death of a Texas District attorney was most likely caused by the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, the truth comes out and it’s nothing of the sort.   Not even close….  

TEXAS – The wife of a former North Texas justice of the peace implicated her husband in the shooting deaths of a local district attorney, his wife and an assistant prosecutor, according to court records filed Wednesday.

Mike and Cynthia McLelland – Murdered in Texas

An arrest affidavit revealed Kim Lene Williams told investigators Tuesday that her husband, Eric Lyle Williams, was the triggerman in the slayings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, and assistant prosecutor Mark Hasse. McLelland and Hasse prosecuted Eric Williams last year for theft of three computer monitors.

Kim Williams was arrested early Wednesday and charged with capital murder. Eric Williams has been in custody, charged with making terroristic threats. He has not been charged in the slayings. (more…)

Ideological Progs never retreat, they just evaluate the opposition and change their approach.

President Obama just delivered one of the most toxic and partisan press briefings in the Rose Garden against the backdrop of the defeated Gun Control Amendment.   Within his words the next steps are brutally obvious.

“The current leader of the nra used to support these background checks. So while this compromise didn’t contain everything I wanted or everything that these families wanted, it did represent progress. It represented moderation and common sense,” Obama said. “That’s why 90 percent of the American people supported it. But instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill.”

Obama calls the 60 vote threshold (2/3 majority needed – constitutional provision now 3/5ths) a “procedural rule exploited by the minority party“.

The media has been ping-ponging back and forth all day on the issue of whether or not a suspect has been arrested/detained.  Yes… No…. then yes again…. then NO.

BOSTON – Two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing have been singled out in surveillance videos of the scene, sources told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. U.S. counter-terrorism and law enforcement officials told The Times that the suspects in the Boston bombings were seen in a department store video that caught images of a man leaving a backpack near the finish line.

A second federal official said he has been briefed that authorities believe a second video or photo showed “two men with two backpacks.” (more…)

BOSTON – The search for forensic evidence turned up pieces of black nylon that could have been from a bag or backpack at both blast sites, DesLauriers said. Law enforcement sifting through the damage also recovered pieces of BBs and nails, possibly from a pressure-cooker explosive device used to maximize injuries.

No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed at least three people and wounded more than 180 others.

“Someone knows who did this,” DesLauriers said. “The person who did this was someone’s friend, neighbor or co-worker.” (more…)

[Hat Tip WeaselZippers]    WASHINGTON DC – Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), is threatening to back an election challenge against Sen. Jeff Flake if the Arizona Republican votes against legislation to expand background checks.

At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the “right candidate” was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports.

Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties. (more…)

WASHINGTON – The Senate will vote Wednesday afternoon on what could be the biggest change in U.S. gun laws in nearly two years.

Senators will take up the bipartisan proposal from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks on firearm purchases and close the so-called gun show loophole at 4 p.m.

It will require 60 votes to pass, and the White House and Democrats still lack the final votes they need. (more…)

WASHINGTON — The explosives used in the deadly Boston Marathon bombing were contained in 6-liter pressure cookers and hidden in black duffel bags on the ground, a person briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

One of the explosives contained shards of metal and ball bearings, and another contained nails, the person said.

A second person briefed on the investigation confirmed that at least one of the explosives was made out of a pressure cooker. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Two bombs blew up seconds apart Monday at the finish line of one of the world’s most storied races, tearing off victims’ limbs and leaving the streets spattered with blood and strewn with broken glass. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 170 were wounded.

President Barack Obama said called the explosions a terrorist attack and said law enforcement and intelligence officials were trying to determine who was responsible. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombings.

Listening to current gun control framed through victim suffering; Listening to abortion rights framed around a desire not to burden daughters;  Listening to progressives of all sorts pontificating about food bans, soda bans, slurpee bans;  All under the auspices of caring for children is, well, annoying.

But watching MTV and seeing Jamie “Obama is our Lord and Savior” Foxx heralded on stage while wearing a T-Shirt of Trayvon Martin, and proclaiming a desire for “justice” is just, well, too much.

Jamie Foxx doesn’t give a damn about black boys, or any boys or girls, for that matter.  If he did he would be in Miami-Dade Florida asking the Miami-Dade School Police Department why they never took responsibility to “protect and serve” both Trayvon, and the greater community in which he lived.

A Daily Beast writer admits she didn’t write about Gosnell because she’s pro-death and didn’t want to hurt the slaughter industry. But what is more interesting – she writes “as if” this would be a big surprise and she’s telling a big secret. Oh, how the all intellectual progs think we slopeheads just cannot keep up – they’re way to slick to us…..

Why I Didn’t Write About Gosnell’s Trial–And Why I Should Have — Megan McArdle, Daily Beast  – But I understand why my readers suspect me, and other pro-choice mainstream journalists, of being selective—of not wanting to cover the story because it showcased the ugliest possibilities of abortion rights. The truth is that most of us tend to be less interested in sick-making stories—if the sick-making was done by “our side.”

Of course, I’m not saying that I identify with criminal abortionists who kill infants and grievously wound their patients. But I am pro-choice. (more…)
