Does he meet with Democrat party leadership?  – NO.   Does he meet with legislative experts? – NO.  Does he meet with people who can aid him in resetting a national priority agenda? – NO.  Does he meet with people to discuss unifying an electorate? – NO. Instead:

“President Obama huddled with top civil rights leaders at the White House on Wednesday, hours after his party lost control of the Senate”….

…..Who you are speaks so loudly no-one can hear a word you’re saying…..

WASHINGTON DC – […]  The meeting included a discussion of ObamaCare implementation, education, and criminal justice issues, according to a White House official.
“The president also highlighted how we are looking forward to working with the leaders over the next two years to advance these and other critical issues facing the country,” the official said.
Attendees at the meeting included NAACP president Cornell Brooks, National Urban League president Marc Morial, and Rev. Al Sharpton. (more…)

Charlotte North Carolina Mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested and convicted earlier in the year on massive public corruption charges.  During an FBI sting Cannon took tens of thousands of dollars in bribes – including $20,000 in cash delivered in a briefcase in February to the mayor’s office where he also solicited $1 million more.
The media dropped most of the explosive story because Cannon was doing some seriously shady stuff during the 2012 DNC convention and the MSM didn’t want to investigate the corruption.   However, after the convention, in return for money, trips, hotel rooms and access to a luxury SouthPark apartment, Cannon promised to help FBI agents posing as potential commercial investors with zoning, parking and other city-related issues.
North Carolina – Two weeks after he lost his right to vote, former Charlotte mayor and convicted felon Patrick Cannon apparently cast a ballot.
That vote would violate Cannon’s bond and could put him back before a judge, said Greg Forrest, chief of the U.S. Probation Office in Charlotte.  It may even mean the 47-year-old Democrat goes to prison sooner.
“Let’s cut to the chase: He shouldn’t have done that, and we’re going to talk to him tomorrow (Wednesday),” Forrest told the Observer. (more…)

(Via House Oversight Committee) Last night, in response to an Order from a Federal judge, the Department of Justice turned over 64,280 pages of documents that were withheld from Congress after President Obama asserted Executive Privilege on the eve of a contempt citation for Attorney General Eric Holder in June 2012.

The sheer volume of last night’s document production—which consists entirely of documents that the Justice Department itself acknowledges are not covered by Executive Privilege—shows that the President and the Attorney General attempted to extend the scope of the Executive Privilege well beyond its historical boundaries to avoid disclosing documents that embarrass or otherwise implicate senior Obama Administration officials.
In effect, last night’s production is an admission that the Justice Department never had legitimate grounds to withhold these documents in the first place. Approximately two-thirds of the universe of documents that the Justice Department withheld from Congress has now been shown to be well outside the scope of Executive Privilege. (more…)

Two “Stop the Violence” organizers allegedly beat one of their colleagues so severely that he vomited blood and was left unconscious in critical condition.
Nikole Ardeno and Emanuel Velez, both 30, accused their former roommate of stealing their property, and allegedly punched and kicked him in the street until he had seizures. Arrested moments later, Ardeno was still wearing the same “Stop the Violence” T-shirt she had on the night before when she coordinated a march protesting two recent shootings, Washington Police Chief Chris Luppino said.

Cudos to the WT for being one of the few media outlets willing to expose the insufferable tentacles of the Social Engineering tool now known as “disparate impact”.  

Disparate impact works around the race-baiting problem of equal opportunity by advancing a proposition that only equal outcomes can define whether an adverse impact exists.  A ridiculous proposition.   All people are created equal – but not all people take advantage of the equality afforded them;  some -if not many- are just lazy, and their failures cannot -and should not- be comingled with the success of those who exert effort.

If the Treehouse had infinite financial resources we would challenge disparate impact everywhere it raises its ugly head.  In the interim we will assist ANY endeavor with research, argument formation, and fact-based analysis to deconstruct the racial underpinning used as the foundation to advance a ridiculous ideological construct.
WASHINGTON TIMES – A federal judge overturned the Obama administration’s “desperation” move to try to find more ways to prove discrimination in housing in a decision Monday that also delivered a searing rebuke to Thomas Perez, a Cabinet official whom liberals are pushing to be the next attorney general.
Judge Richard J. Leon ruled that the administration cannot rely on “disparate impact” to judge discrimination, dealing a blow to civil rights groups that said the analytical tool gave them more room to file discrimination cases. (more…)

WASHINGTON • Democrats and civil rights groups are trying to raise turnout among African-American voters around the country Tuesday by invoking a familiar and painful image: Ferguson.

The civil rights group ColorofChange.org said Monday it has distributed fliers to black voters in seven states, including Illinois, with a photo of protests in Ferguson overwritten by the headline, “Enough.” (more…)
