For the latest example in total and complete reality disconnect we travel back to the Left Coast courtesy of Bill Maher and Socialist Bernie Sanders.
Painful though it may be to watch – it’s worthwhile as an exercise in sharpening the saw:

An assembly of various snippets – You connect the dots…
(Via Daily Caller) An MSNBC host may have just chosen the next attorney general of the United States. […]  • Lynch was appointed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York by President Obama in 2010. •  She rose to prominence as a prosecutor on the team that convicted New York police officers in the 1999 Abner Louima assault case. […] •  Lynch met with Sharpton and Esaw Garner, the wife of a New York City brutality victim, in Lynch’s Brooklyn office on August 21, 2014. […] •  Obama met with Sharpton at the White House Wednesday, less than a full day after his party lost the midterm elections. […] Sharpton has previously revealed that his National Action Network was working with the White House on replacing Holder.  • Lynch’s confirmation process is expected to be rushed through before Republicans take over the Senate in January.  {snip}

• Attendees at the [Nov 5th] meeting included NAACP president Cornell Brooks, National Urban League president Marc Morial, and Rev. Al Sharpton.

Leaving the White House after a good meeting with President Obama and 7 civil rights leaders. Very solid meeting.

You already knew the liberal bias existed in Print and Broadcast Media, Entertainment and Academics but the scope of it might even surprise the most staunchly informed.
(Capitol City Project) Conservatives have long believed American culture is entrenched with a liberal bias, only to be scoffed at and called paranoid. However, three new charts dealing with political donations from academia, media, and Hollywood prove this to be the case.
Business Insider was provided a data set of federal campaign contributions dating all the way back to 1980, making the sample size considerable. The data set confirms that media, academia, and the entertainment industry are some of the most liberal professions in America. The findings were provided by CROWDPAC, a non-partisan analytics firm based out of California.
“In compiling all this data, and building these tools, we have the opportunity to shine some light on the political system and reveal some interesting insights and trends,” Crowdpac CEO Steve Hilton said of the findings. “For example, our real data conforms with the claims that have been circulated about the extremely liberal profile of the entertainment and media sectors.”  (Continue To See Charts)

With the election in the rear view the probability calendar for the Saint Louis Grand Jury decision is now at the apex and will remain there for the next two weekends.

The Grand Jury decision is anticipated either this weekend or next, with the highest probability being this weekend preceding Veterans Day Tuesday November 11th.   For those unfamiliar with the pre-planning here’s what to expect and what to look for?
First, it’s important to remember the broad stroke strategy was roughly planned out in August with the details filling in along the way.  You really didn’t think that civil war CMH award yesterday was just some random calendar pick did you?
Most of the references you’ll see in the media will mention the Department of Justice or DOJ, however it’s also important to draw a distinction between the DOJ and the actual agency being discussed, the “Community Relations Service”, or CRS, which is within the DOJ. (more…)

A young white man and student of University of Missouri Saint Louis named Chris Schaefer attended a meeting of Ferguson protestors at St. Mark’s church.   The church acts as a safe house for the organizing protestors.
Apparently while there, Mr. Schaefer began recording the meeting; or at least he was perceived to be recording the meeting.  The mob, who ironically demand all police wear body cameras, did not like the thought of their meeting being recorded – so they attacked him.

He finally escaped the horde, and while being chased screaming down the road, he made it to a local Walgreens where he ran inside and begged for help.  The police were called and an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital.  (more…)

Reminder: This was all well planned out to happen months ago. Now they are in execution mode.  President Obama and Eric Holder are publishing/broadcasting the rules for the Safari Park.

Exponentially occurring, and not-so-subtle, upticks indicate a soon to be announced Grand Jury decision.  Remember the first group President Obama met with on Wednesday after the election?  Remember Fred P Pestello?  Well, now we have AG Holder proclaiming:

[…]   Holder called Pestello’s leadership, “nothing short of exemplary” in his managing of the Occupy SLU protest (link)

Saint Louis Today –  U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has offered high praise to St. Louis University President Fred Pestello, commending him for his handling of last month’s Occupy SLU protest.

In a letter delivered to the university late last month, Holder called Pestello’s leadership, “nothing short of exemplary” in his managing of the Occupy SLU protest.

Occupy SLU was an outgrowth of wider protests of police shootings that have taken hold in the area since the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. (more…)

Ann Coulter opines about the election […]  Don’t you wish all these new Republicans were joining Republican senators Richard Lugar, Mike Castle and whatever Republican was running against Todd Akin? How about Rob Simmons in Connecticut, who would be the senator from Connecticut if self-serving GOP consultants hadn’t gone for the money-bags, unelectable candidate instead?
Without tea party challenges and greedy Republican consultants, Republicans would be looking at 59 senate seats in the next Congress. Maybe 61 with Democrat flips.
One more wave election and it wouldn’t matter who the president is. (more…)

– Today seems a fitting day to review this again –

One of the frustrating realities of our polarized time is the media creating a skewed and left leaning view of all things political. However, even with this headwind, each day many more people choose to engage in an honest discovery and understanding of what’s going on. Whether because they stumble upon a concern, or whether they happen across some information that makes them rethink their prior position and views, it can lead to an engagement with us from a perspective of their only reality view having been determined by the lens of the media.
Indeed that can be, and often is, an incredibly frustrating conversation because the newly awakened bring an embedded and sometimes flawed bias into their narrative. One of the more common misunderstandings stems from the media hatred of George W Bush and his actions, aptly called Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS).
What I want to do here is not change anyone’s mind, but rather to remind people what led to some of Dubya’s decisions in his own words.
I must first emphasize at the time of Dubya’s tenure in the White House I was not a supporter of many “Bush policies”, however, I did understand his reasoning.
Sometimes research into “why” was needed in order for us to understand this reasoning, but there were valid reasons nonetheless. It is unfair for the liberal media, or for any Johnny-come-lately to re-write his motivation as illicit, it was not. In hindsight some of his policies and approaches may have been wrong, but it generally is unfair to look in the rear view mirror to judge. Again, at times it is important to stop the conversation, pause, and remind ourselves what was going on at the time. (more…)

At 2:14am on December 24th, 2009, while Americans prepared for the Christmas holiday, Democrats perpetrated a treachery upon the U.S. electorate that should have been their undoing.

This so called landmark legislation was done exclusively by Democrats against the will of the people. 2010 the sleeping giant began a process of tossing every one of the socialist usurpers from office.
Obamacare was touted by Democrats and President Barack Obama as a historic vote and moment in American history, the Obamacare health care bill has passed the Senate, in the dead of night, 60-39. Not one, not one Republican voted for this disaster called Obamacare.

Literally, under the cloak of darkness, Democrats rammed their holy grail of a socialist construct down the throat of every American. We no longer needed to imagine having ideological representation that did not represent the will of the people – we saw it. (more…)
