According to a new CNN report Chicago Mayor Rham Emanuel has fired the police chief in the wake of the Laquan McDonald shooting and community outrage over the length of time it took the police department to act to the shooting.

(CNN) Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday that he has asked for the resignation of Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.

The announcement at a news conference came amid angry protests in Chicago over the way the city responded when a white police officer shot a black teenager 16 times in October 2014. Dashboard camera footage of Laquan McDonald’s killing was not released until last week after a judge ordered it be made public.

“Superintendent McCarthy knows that a police officer is only as effective as when he has the trust of those he serves,” said Emanuel, speaking at City Hall. (more…)

Understanding:  The Structural Ben Carson Super-PAC Creators are “BIRTHERS”…

Ben Carson’s team is thrilled with the financial windfall coming amid the media attacks and media scrutiny. It appears his positions of supporting TPP and supporting a fiscal bailout for Puerto Rico don’t stop conservative donors from sending him money. It will be interesting to trace through the Carson PAC’s and follow the expenditures.

WASHINGTON TIMES – Perhaps “happy” isn’t the best word, but the Ben Carson campaign is at least confident it has weathered the quick-forming storm over questionable details in Carson’s various autobiographical writings.

“We’re going to have a more-than-$10-million month again,” said Barry Bennett, Carson’s campaign manager, in a phone conversation Sunday night. “We’re at four million already.”

Bennett noted that after the campaign raised $10.8 million in October, media attacks on Carson appear to have spurred supporters to give even more. In recent days Carson has received more than 80,000 new contributions — that is, from people who have not given to Carson before, Bennett said. He also said Carson has added more than 160,000 new likes on Facebook. (more…)

Media quickly deletes finding that Trump beats Hillary in MN ! Screen-Shot Added.

The operational arm of the DNC, or perhaps Senator Al Franken, must have been urgently dispatched to contact KTSP (ABC 5) News in Minnesota after they published results from their own sponsored SurveyUSA poll/survey…..

Why? Because they deleted the lead in paragraph shortly after posting it.  Our discovery was accidental.

The KTSP(ABC5) survey findings show Donald Trump perceived to be the most likely nominee amid all of the survey respondents:

♦ Trump 26%
♦ Carson 19%
♦ Rubio 16%
♦ Bush 9%
♦ Fiorina 4%
♦ Cruz 4%
♦ Paul 3%
♦ Huckabee 2%
Undecided 13%

However, the more damaging survey data was a result showing Donald Trump beats  Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head match up.  Specifically the article outlined how a large segment of Minnesota Democrats and Independent voters were “crossing over” to join a growing Donald Trump coalition.

That uncomfortable reality was most of the lead paragraph, and it was also promptly deleted within minutes of broadcast/publication.  However, the web is forever. (more…)

Because the church fires were amid black churches, various media including CNN had previously attached a racial component to the arson attacks…

ST. LOUIS • David Lopez Jackson, 35, was charged Friday afternoon with two in a string of seven church fires this month but authorities say they don’t yet know the motive.

The charges, two counts of second-degree arson, list his address as in the 200 block of Presley Road in the Glasgow Village area of unincorporated St. Louis County. He was held in lieu of $75,000 bail, according to court documents.

Forensic evidence and video of his car link Jackson to the fires, Police Chief Sam Dotson said. A container of gasoline and a Thermos bottle that smelled of gasoline were found in his car, Dotson said.

Asked about a motive, Dotson said, “We’re still trying to understand that.” (more…)

Pay no attention to the men behind the curtain folks, move along, move along….

Look, over there, a South Carolina student dragged from her classroom.  Quick, over here, Donald Trump polling showing he’s dropped to second place… fine print? ..move along, move along, nothing to see here folks, move along.

What could possibly be going on that would demand such necessary distractions? (more…)

This may well be the best agitprop of the month.  Deserves recognition:

The discovery that an antagonistic female questioner, Ms. Lauren Batchelder, (during a “No Labels” event yesterday) is actually a campaign worker for Jeb Bush, has created a rather embarrassing political situation for candidate Bush.

In an effort to draw distance from the brutally obvious set-up, Governor Jeb Bush lead spokesman Tim Miller is now claiming Batchelder is not a campaign staffer:

The Washington Post reports another Bush campaign spokesperson is also seeking to distance the campaign from the profoundly odd, seemingly planted, remarks made during the event: (more…)

Interesting news blurb update amid an otherwise memory-holed story now almost six months old.

TEXAS – […] Of the 135 people originally ordered to wear GPS ankle monitors, all but 22 have been allowed to remove them, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Sunday. Their lawyers have reached agreements with prosecutors to modify the conditions of their pre-trial release.

After initially locking up more than 170 people in connection with the May 17 incident outside Twin Peaks restaurant, McLennan County prosecutors have not charged anyone with the shooting deaths of nine people. At least 20 others were hurt. (more…)

The BLM movement has been well documented to include some of the most anti-social, hate-filled elements of the Occupy crowd; only BLM one comes with specific violence toward police and law enforcement.
(TPM) – Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called on Americans to focus on racial justice and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a Sunday speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate in Boston.
Warren referenced the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) focus on civil rights issues and said, “If his life and death had a meaning, it was that we should not hate but love one another; we should use our powers not to create conditions of oppression that lead to violence, but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”
She said that since the Civil Rights Act, the United States has not come close enough to equality.
“Fifty years later, we have made real progress toward creating the conditions of freedom — but we have not made enough progress,” she said, according to her prepared remarks. (more…)

There’s nothing quite like witnessing someone expose their bias and agenda when they become intoxicated by their own sanctimonious glee.  Chris Matthews describes how MSNBC was watching, breathlessly waiting for an opportunity to pounce on and destroy Donald Trump.
“we caught him … we nailed him, …. we finally got him” etc.
