This has to be one of the most obvious examples of race-baiting propaganda from the Obama team. According to their logic an unknown woman asked Michelle to help her get an item off a shelf, ergo the shopping woman is racist. The exact opposite claim could be made from the same situation. The shopper didn’t see Michelle Obama through the skin color prism, but as an ordinary human who naturally would assist another.
And as to the claims of President Obama being mistaken for a waiter; it was not too long ago when Valerie Jarrett asked a white four star general to fetch her a drink while making an identical mistake. Does that make Valerie Jarret a racist?

2011 […] Jarrett, apparently only seeing [General] Chiarelli’s striped uniform pants, thought that he was a waiter. She asked him to get her a glass of wine. She was said to be mortified as soon as she realized her mistake, and who wouldn’t be? But the instructive part of this tale is what Chiarelli did next.
Rather than take offense, or try to make Jarrett feel small for her blunder, the general, in good humor, went and poured her a glass of wine. It was evident that he wanted to defuse the awkward moment, and to let Jarrett know that she should not feel embarrassed.  (link)

These people are over the top with their own racism. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama has issued a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more often than any other president in history — using it to take unilateral action even as he has signed fewer executive orders.
When these two forms of directives are taken together, Obama is on track to take more high-level executive actions than any president since Harry Truman battled the “Do Nothing Congress” almost seven decades ago, according to a USA TODAY review of presidential documents.
Obama has issued executive orders to give federal employees the day after Christmas off, to impose economic sanctions and to determine how national secrets are classified. He’s used presidential memoranda to make policy on gun control, immigration and labor regulations. Tuesday, he used a memorandum to declare Bristol Bay, Alaska, off-limits to oil and gas exploration.

(Via Right Scoop) Mark Levin ripped Republicans a new one tonight as he opened his show, saying that he is one inch away from leaving the Republican Party.
He starts in hard, asking Republicans if they think this is a joke, if they think they can just lie to Republicans and conservatives with impunity about defunding Obamacare and fighting Obama’s illegal amnesty.
He points out that Republicans go on and on about an imperial president and his illegal amnesty and they can’t even vote on a point of order challenging Obama.
Levin says the Constitution is in tatters and that the Republican Party doesn’t even realize they’ve ceded their power to Obama.
And there’s so much more.  Listen HERE

“What do we want? Dead Cops”
“When do we want them? Now”

The last federal budget was signed into law September 2007 by President Bush. Since then the past 7 fiscal years have been funded under continuing resolution bills.
In a sane world the Republicans would have only funded Fiscal Year 2015 through April, and taken the position of waiting to see President Obama’s budget proposal for FY 2016 which is due in February. (President Obama has never met a statutorily required budget submission deadline). Alas, another year funded by CR.
Via Politico – In a big win for House Republicans and President Barack Obama, the House passed a $1 trillion-plus funding bill Thursday night that will keep the government open into next year.
The final vote, which came after a high drama day of behind the scenes arm twisting and vote counting, was 219 to 206.
The Senate passed a two-day funding bill following the House vote, avoiding a government shutdown starting at midnight Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), however, warned that the “cromnibus,” as the massive spending package has come to be called on Capitol Hill, may not pass the Senate until Monday. (more…)

Forbes picks up on the IRS scandal being coordinated by the DOJ…
(Via Forbes)  Sadly, the 18 month investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups isn’t over, and it may be worse than anyone thought. A federal judge has broken loose more emails that the DOJ had surely hoped would never surface. The picture it reveals isn’t pretty. The documents prove that Lois Lerner met with DOJ’s Election Crimes Division a month before the 2010 elections.
It has to be embarrassing to the DOJ, which may not be the most impartial one to be investigating the IRS. In fact, the DOJ withheld over 800 pages of Lerner documents citing “taxpayer privacy” and “deliberative privilege.” Yet these internal DOJ documents show Ms. Lerner was talking to DOJ officials about prosecuting tax-exempt entities (yes, criminally!) two years before the IRS conceded there was inappropriate targeting.

Even the New York Times is forced to admit gun control activists have gone too far. The landscape has shifted, more Americans now favor gun rights and gun ownership.
Pew Study – For the first time in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control. Currently, 52% say it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns, while 46% say it is more important to control gun ownership.
Support for gun rights has edged up from earlier this year, and marks a substantial shift in attitudes since shortly after the Newtown school shootings, which occurred two years ago this Sunday.
The balance of opinion favored gun control in the immediate aftermath of the Newtown tragedy in December 2012, and again a month later. Since January 2013, support for gun rights has increased seven percentage points – from 45% to 52% — while the share prioritizing gun control has fallen five points (from 51% to 46%). (read more)

Note, Jorge Ramos does not understand the framework of a constitutional republic. His only mental reference points are his experience living under a parliamentary dictatorship. He’s clueless about what co-equal powers of three branches of government means. He views the U.S. Presidency as omnipotent – and does not understand the President is merely one office, one branch, one third of power.

It will only be a short time before the professional grievance class calls this new approach racist. And the challengers will win in court. The tickets/summons are going to disproportionately be given to minority parents, therefore the ticketing process creates a “disparate impact” toward federally protected persons. That makes the new strategy unlawful, watch.
ST. LOUIS (KSDK) – Police are turning their attention to parents after a recent increase in crime involving young teens. They’re sending a warning to guardians: take responsibility for your kids, or you could end up in court.
Officers started using this new tactic following a shooting over the weekend. Police say one group of teens shot at another group of teens late Saturday night. A 16-year-old boy was hit in the foot. The shooters got away, but officers were tasked with finding the guardians of the victims. When they found them, police say, none of them knew where the kids were at the time of the shooting. So, they were issued summonses for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The shooting was just one of several involving young people within the city of St. Louis in recent months. And, young teens were also recently involved in a string of violent robberies downtown. (more…)

For the average news consumer this entire scandal is too large and too complex to track.  Suffice to say, as we have outlined since mid-year, the investigative focus needs to expand from the IRS to the Dept of Justice.  – Backstory Here –
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released internal Department of Justice (DOJ) documents revealing that former IRS official Lois Lerner had been in contact with DOJ officials about the possible criminal prosecution of tax-exempt entities two full years before what the IRS conceded was its “absolutely inappropriate” 2012 targeting of the organizations. According to the newly obtained documents, Lerner met with top Obama DOJ Election Crimes Branch officials as early as October 2010.

The new documents were obtained through a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the DOJ on July 21, 2014 (Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice (No. 14-cv-01239)), after the agency failed to respond to an April 21, 2014, FOIA request seeking: (more…)
