Last month Hollywood actor Robert De Niro recorded a video calling the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump: “a dog,” “a pig,” “a con,” “a bullshit artist who doesn’t know what he’s talking about” and “an idiot.”  De Niro also recorded himself saying: “Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.”
Today actor Robert De Niro was rewarded by President Obama:

President Obama also rewarded:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Hanks, Michael Jordan, Lorne Michaels, Robert Redford, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen and Cicely Tyson.
 

The school bus driver was employed by an outside contracting agency for the district. This tragedy appears destined to end up in the ‘killed by cultural marxism’ file folder.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (CBS News/AP) – A school bus driver charged with vehicular homicide in a crash in Tennessee asked the children if they were ready to die, according to the mother of three kids who were aboard the bus. One of her children was among the five dead.

“My daughter said right before the bus flipped that he was speeding around the curve and asked them ‘Are y’all ready to die,’”Jasmine Mateen told CBS News correspondent Mark Strassman. Mateen’s 6-year-old daughter was killed.

Amid all the chatter and opinions of possible cabinet positions for the incoming Trump administration a few of them seem more likely than others.  General Mattis (w/ waiver) for Defense Secretary, and Mayor Rudy Guiliani for State Secretary are among the more ideologically, purposefully and intuitively aligned.
Another name that seems like a very real possibility, given the Trump immigration proposals and needed enforcement mechanisms, is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
We previously outlined how Kobach appeared to be the central architect of the plan –SEE HERE.
Today, another report surfaces with a rather interesting angle as an AP photographer captured the image of some documents Kobach was carrying into a meeting with Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
(Via Kansas CJOnLine) A written plan for the Department of Homeland Security brought by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach into his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump spells out a desire to question “high-risk” immigrants over support for Sharia law and the U.S. Constitution. (more…)

Update:  The police officer has been identified as 50-year-old Benjamin Marconi a veteran police officer.  Twitter Feed Here.  It will tear at your heart to read his twitter feed…. sorry, I just can’t even write about it yet {{tears}}.

RIP – Officer Benjamin Marconi

San Antonio –  A San Antonio police officer was shot and killed while writing a traffic ticket, according to Police Chief William McManus.

While a little challenging to understand, essentially the french conservatives (Republican party) are holding their first round primary today.  However, everyone in France gets to vote in the primary, and the two with the highest vote percentage then go head-to-head in a run off in round two (next week).

“Brexit – Trexit – Frexit”

The winner of next week’s head-to-head will then enter the general election race and face Marine Le Pen of the French National party, along with other left-wing party candidates next April. Assuming no-one gets over 50% in the April 2017 general election, the top two then going head to head in the General election run-off in May.
The three leading conservative republican candidates going into today were former French President Nicolas Sarkozy,  and former french prime ministers Francois Fillon and Alain Juppe’.  Most non-Republican (liberal) voters hoping Mr Alain Juppe’ would win because he has the best chance of beating Marine Le Pen.
With 72% of the vote counted Francois Fillon appears to be winning. (more…)

Tonight Vice-President-Elect Governor Mike Pence took his wife to a performance of Hamilton on Broadway.  The cast took the opportunity to call out and target Governor Pence and his wife Karen.  They later bragged about it on twitter.

The real irony/absurdity is thick: Historically Hamilton believed the individual was not subservient to the state, a position exactly the opposite of the protestation decried by the social justice cast using Hamilton’s legacy as the basis for their performance.
That point will be lost amid the chattering class. Then again, liberals have a history of attacks against Republican Presidents’ in theaters.

President Obama held a press conference today with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and fielded questions about the 2016 presidential election.  Within the optics and the presented narrative it is possible to find evidence of the globalist’s perspective on the loss, and more importantly their intents moving forward.  Very Rivkin-esque.
Within the EU Merkel is the defacto representative of the continent’s globalist vision; as such when President Obama and Merkel appear together you will always find the epicenter of globalist advocacy – the direct opposition of nationalism.

For the optics note Obama’s grey hair exhibition.  One of the indicators of his preferred approach is how he chooses to present his personal image to the EU audience. When done by design, Obama always draws attention to it – today is no different.
There are many responses within the overall Merkel/Obama event which should be keenly understood by all Americans.  However, this response within this specific video (soundbite below) is a good summation: (more…)

Following the path of Angela Corey (Sanford/Zimmerman) and Marilyn Mosby (Baltimore/Freddie Gray), a Minnesota activist prosecutor named John Choi has made the decision to charge Officer Jeronimo Janez with 3rd degree manslaughter in the shooting case of Philando Castile, without going to a grand jury (pdf complaint below).
The explanation by Choi is quite astonishing, and reflects a rogue decision to satisfy, yet again, the social justice crowd while wasting taxpayer money:
Minnesota – The use of deadly force by a St. Anthony police officer was determined to be unjustified in the shooting death of Philando Castile.  Ramsey County Attorney John Choi made the announcement during a news conference Wednesday morning.

Choi began his announcement by saying that after spending 19 weeks “immersed in the facts and law and thinking about what justice requires in the case,” he said he decided it would be wrong to ask a grand jury to make a decision regarding the case.
He said although he knows some members of the community may not be pleased with such a decision, he said “in order to achieve justice, we must be willing to do the right thing no matter how hard it may seem.”

If you were wondering just how massive the potential scope and long-term impact of a Trump victory might be, well, things just got even better/bigger.

In 2008 the DNC made a specific decision to go all-in with full throated radicalism and left-wing ideological moonbattery.   The social justice warriors took over the advocacy reins of the Democrat party.  Progressive purity was the litmus, climate and social justice was the cause celeb.  Obama was the vehicle, emotion drives the brand.
