Coast to Coast there were dust bunnies inside Cracker Barrel restaurants today – a Sunday.  The first Sunday since Cracker Barrel corporation did the big stupid.  The company had to respond quickly and urgently.   The restaurants were standing empty with employees standing around.

Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:
When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that’s just what we’ve done.
You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren’t shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings. You flat out told us we were wrong.
We listened. (more…)

“How could a Christian nation, almost 100%, elect a monster like Hitler?  The truth is, at the beginning, Hitler did not look like or talk like a monster at all.  He talked like an American politician ….”

Who are these fools ?   Seriously !
Three out of Ten Americans have a favorable opinion of government?    What exactly do they think is good about it.   Who are they?   Maybe I found one…

Unfavorable views of the federal government continue to climb.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of Likely U.S. Voters now view the federal government at least somewhat unfavorably. That’s up from 64% in October and 63% in November of last year. Just 29% view the feds favorably. This includes five percent (5%) who view the government Very Favorably and 29% who view it Very Unfavorably.  (link)

This horrific story is absolutely typical of two things.   #1) Methods deployed by thugs as they rob/steal from people.   #2)  How a Liberal epicenter [Boston, Massachusetts] will not address the descriptive nature of the thugs and actively seek to protect the Politically Correct (Cultural Marxism) narrative.
First the story – bullet point #1.   (After reviewing the article/attack we’ll show how the media does #2)
BOSTON (CBS) – Boston Police are investigating three similar attacks on city residents in which someone comes right up to their front door pretending to be delivering a package.
In the most recent case, on Dorchester’s Lonsdale Street, a pair of criminals entered the victims’ home and pistol whipped the elderly couple that let them in.

“We don’t usually see that, but it’s definitely what happened,” says Boston Lt. Detective Thomas Hopkins. “There have been two home invasions and one B&E where Asian victims were targeted, in two of the incidents people were duct taped with zip ties.” (more…)

Sunlight answers a question – Last week the New York Times and the New York Post ran articles based on a classified congressional hearing.
In essence Massachusetts Democrat Congressman Stephen Lynch, who was present for the hearing, was used to push a story centered around his proposal to Congress to pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify an entire 2002 report, “Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.”
The context of Lynch’s request centers around this newly identified intelligence community report which, according to non-specific leaks, outlines Saudi Arabia’s involvement in supporting the 911 hijackers.
The question we had at the time was “why now”?    Obviously someone is seeking to gain some form of benefit from this discussion – it would be intellectually dishonest to think such a conversation would happen in a political vacuum.
The answer to the “why” question can be found in an article published a few days ago in the Wall Street Journal.   Within the Journal article you discover how much current anxiety and tension exists between the current Obama administration and the Saudi government against the backdrop of Obama’s failed Syria “Red Line”, and the Iranian Nuclear goals.

25 year old 2nd Lt Paul deWolf, USAF, third year medical student and active duty officer on an Air Force scholarship at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor,  was murdered by three black thugs during a home invasion robbery of his residence, an off campus fraternity house he shared with other medical students.

DeWolf was asleep in his own domicile – a bedroom in the basement of the Phi Ro Sigma fraternity house – when he was startled awake by the noise the intruders were creating during their return to the residence after previously stealing and removing a PlayStation 3 game system.  At a hearing held this week, it was revealed by Ann Arbor police that the still unnamed alleged trigger puller currently jailed in Michigan on a bond violation in a different case, had not yet been charged with deWolf’s murder.

The Adam Leitman Bailey law firm has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.  […]  Meanwhile, police were asking for the public’s help in identifying the carjackers, who vanished after dumping the SUV with license plate U26-BVD.   Tipsters are being urged to call the DA’s office at (877)847-7432.   (link)

But guess what ?   The media are unwilling to publish descriptions of the thugs who killed Dustin Friedland.   Ask yourself why?

NEW JERSEY – The Hoboken lawyer killed by carjackers at an upscale New Jersey mall gave up his life — to protect his wife.
Dustin Friedland had just let his beloved Jamie into their luxury SUV and was walking around to the driver’s side when he was ambushed by two crooks who demanded the keys, a source close to the investigation told The Daily News.
“He knew his wife was in there and he refused,” the source said Monday. (more…)

(LATimes)…Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck said Monday he was reserving judgment about why officers fatally shot an unarmed car chase suspect after he crashed his Corvette on live TV and tried to stagger away.
“It is way to early for me to draw those kind of conclusions,” Beck said when asked if the sound of a bean bag round being fired triggered the shooting.  Right now that kind of stuff is speculation, speculation isn’t always wrong…we will work through this,” he continued.  (Read more….)

Last Friday’s horrific crash and subsequent shooting at the end of an hour-long car chase, left manyviewers with questions…..questions originally scheduled to be answered at a Monday morning press conference.  Check with “LAPD Online” (on the upper right side of the page). There’s no such conference even scheduled.  However, we are learning more details regarding what went down that night from the victim’s brother and an “unnamed” police official.

“Police might have fatally shot a car-chase suspect over the weekend after at least one cop mistook a fellow officer’s actions for unfriendly gunfire.  Citing an unnamed police official, the station offered one possible explanation for why 51-year-old Brian Beaird of Oceanside was hit with gunfire on live television (video on the next page), even though it was clear he wasn’t armed or charging at authorities at the end of a wild chase. In fact… live video shot by KTLA News’ helicopter shows the suspect exiting his car and briefly raising his hands before grabbing his gut and falling down, his back to the cops who had pursued him.”

According to Fox News, at least one officer who opened fire did so because he might have mistaken the less-than-lethal beanbag round of fellow officers as being gunfire from the subject.

Good Lord…. no wonder they canceled the press conference.

“The hour-long pursuit came to an end in downtown Los Angeles when the reckless driver in a silver Corvette slammed into another vehicle. The suspect then stumbled out of the car and was shot dead by police, officials said.”

As the driver in an hour-long pursuit fell forward in the hail of gunfire, even the on-air anchors seemed taken aback.   Police had just used lethal force to subdue the subject of a high-speed chase….a chase that involved dangerously high speeds and occurred for the most part in residential areas.   One thing stands out though.   The man for all intents and purposes appeared to be unarmed and non-threatening.

Here’s my edited down version of the original 26 min. video showing events immediately before the crash, and then showing the officer take-down of the driver.

“The chase was being aired live on SKY5 TV. In the unedited, graphic footage, which has been posted to YouTube, the suspect can be seen exiting the car and then collapsing onto the sidewalk. The camera than zooms out and the newscaster says, “I’m not sure whether those were non-lethal rounds or not, but clearly they hit him with a whole lot of something as he tried to run from behind that car.”

Glitchy Madness – Registering for ObamaCare is like playing Lotto with your life…
(Via Daily Caller)  Nearly 15,000 enrollment records from Americans trying to sign up for Obamacare never made it to insurers — but the federal government does not know which records never made it to which insurer.

The federal analysis merely compares the number of times Obamacare enrollees clicked “enroll” to the number of plans HealthCare.gov sent to insurers, according to The Washington Post. Consumers who send the vanishing enrollments, or “orphan files,” are not notified that their information has not been processed and an insurer did not receive sensitive financial and health-related data, meaning that they could be in for an unpleasant surprise when the Dec. 23 deadline — the last day for customers to sign up for health insurance — comes and goes.
