Doug Ross @ Journal has published a first hand account of a conversation a docent at the Bush Center Library had with former Senator Alan Simpson (R), co-author of the Simpson-Bowles commission report recommending fiscal reform legislation, on the outspoken former Senator’s impressions based on first-hand dealings with Barack Hussein Obama.
What is best for BHO is more important than what is best for America. Always. Every time.
“….I spent the next 15 minutes (just the two of us) listening to him expound on his view of our future. His first answer was that with this president we will never make progress. He then related a story that when Bowles and Simpson requested time with the president to urge him to seriously consider their report, he was stunned by the response (as was Bowles).
“Words”. Just “words”. Days after Spike Lee’s vituperative rant, in which he mentioned his musician father and the address of the home in Ft Greene, Brooklyn where he grew up, his father’s home and the home of a next door neighbor were vandalized with spray painted graffiti and had windows broken.
Spike Lee deals with the fallout of his inflammatory remarks close to home: Vandals spray paint graffiti and break windows at his parent’s home and the home of a neighbor – “Do the Right Thing”
The graffiti stated: “Do the Right Thing” – an apparent reference to a Spike Lee movie of the same name…. in which the climatic scene revolved around violence related to an argument about music ….
Spike Lee may enjoy inserting himself into controversy to keep himself relevant in the ever shifting sands of pop culture, but even his own family has had enough:
“And I think Spike needs to stop with whatever situation he was talking about over here ’cause he doesn’t live here and he’s not involved in it, you know,” half brother Arnold Lee told CBS 2′s Jessica Schneider.
Lee has spent the last few days apologizing to neighbors, and trying to mend relations between the neighbors and his family. Owners of the vandalized property state to repair the damage and remove the graffiti will cost “thousands” of dollars. No word if Lee has manned up and offered restitution, errr…. “reparations” ? for the backlash from his incendiary rhetoric.

Sometimes you just have to laugh at the insufferable racist hypocrisy embedded within the ideology of Democrats. Imagine if Clint Eastwood demanded black people not be allowed to move in to white neighborhoods ? C’mon media, progs, et al… baby steps… Can you see the racism?… can you?…. step toward the light… it won’t hurt… honest.
FORT GREENE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Spike Lee had some harsh words for whites moving into predominantly black neighborhoods in New York City while speaking at a Black History Month lecture at Pratt Institute on Tuesday.
As 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reported Wednesday, the director and Brooklyn native said that white newcomers to neighborhoods like Fort Greene and Bedford-Stuyvesant are doing the wrong things.
Lee told the audience that while he’s all for democracy, he doesn’t like that whites are trying to impose their standards and wealthy ideas on everyone and everything, D’Auria reported. (more…)
The last time the federal government had a budget in place and signed by the president was Sept of 2007 for fiscal year 2008, and it was signed by George Bush. President Obama has NEVER had a day in office with a budget in place to restrict or guide spending proposals. Not.One.Day.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Democrats will not write a budget for the next fiscal year.
One year after writing and passing the first Senate Democratic budget resolution in four years, Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said her conference will not make an effort in the 2014 midterm election year.
In a statement, Murray said there was no reason to do a fiscal 2015 budget after the two-year deal struck in December with House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
That deal set budget ceilings for the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years. The 2015 fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. (more…)
New York – Mayor de Blasio brought down the hammer Thursday on three charter schools operated by nemesis Eva Moskowitz, leaving hundreds of kids without classrooms this fall.
“This has to be the saddest day for the Success Academy’s children, family, teachers, school leaders,” Moskowitz said after meeting with stunned charter parents in Harlem.
“Right now, our kids are being evicted. Evicted out of their school. It’s wrong and we need an explanation. You’re going to have to ask Mayor Deblasio what the motivations are for a decision that will hurt so many children now and, frankly, forever.”
That statement should strike the independent psyche as odd. Alas, it does not…. why? Because the filtering prism witnessed (as applied) is only based on one thing, the perception of importance.
Why would skin color even factor in to whether or not the policy/ideology is wrong, unless you think the skin color is a defining factor in your view toward the policy/ideology.
Like most within the professionally aggrieved class, Lemon is stating he’s black first and a journalist second. He has to overcome his inherent sense of race, to carry out his responsibility of a journalist. Such is the reality of something that rings true in all progressives; ideological bias trumps all else when expressed.
In Don Lemon’s case it’s his race and skin color because this is what he views as central to his own psychological definitions. Black is his foundational principle.
For non-black media types the foundational principle, which overlay their decisions, is their liberal sense of world-view.
(Via Daily Caller) A student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada was forced to issue a formal apology for emailing a picture of President Obama kicking open a door–all because some students thought the image was somehow racist.
The image was actually an edited .gif, and was shown by Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” last fall. It humorously suggests that the president may be fed up with press conferences.
McGill student Brian Farnan, vice president of the university’s student government, sent out an email with the .gif and the harmless caption, “Honestly midterms get out of here,” according to Legal Insurrection.
What happened next is almost unbelievable: (more…)
Northern and central Virginia local papers are reporting on a very bizarre case involving the disappearance and death of a Virginia reserve police officer, Captain Kevin Quick, who served in the Waynesboro, Va Police Dept.
Captain Kevin Quick, 45, of the Waynesboro, Va police department went missing in a bizarre case of a potential car jacking gone wrong; State police struggle to untangle the twisted path of the last moments of his life and refuse to release any information about the cause of death to the media.
Kevin Quick was en route to visit the mother of his 4 month old infant daughter in an apartment complex near Barracks Road in Charlottesville, Va when he disappeared. Police have been able to trace the movements of his vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner, in a bizarre pattern through central Virginia, up to Manassas in northern Virginia, and then back down again to Louisa County in central Virginia, where it was used as a getaway vehicle in a robbery attempt.
Police try to retrace the last moment’s of Quick’s life and the strange path his vehicle took over the weekend of his disappearance.
The race to replace disgraced former mayor Bob Filner between Democrat David Alvarez and Republican candidate Kevin Faulconer, both former city council members and local government colleagues, ended with a decisive victory for Faulconer.
Reports of the demise of the capitalistic white guy politician in the Golden Age of Obama have been grossly inaccurate. Faulconer easily triumphs over Obama endorsed Hispanic race & class grievance Specialist, Alvarez. Chris Christie, put down the Oreos ~ there’s another Democratic friendly Republican in the house, winning election with a 9 pt lead in a Democratic city in a state that is the very definition of the modern Democratic party. Where California goes …..
Faulconer promises to work to heal a city that is reeling from the second resignation of a Mayor in a decade, winning February’s special election in a decisive victory which will allow him to remain in office for the remainder of the disgraced former Mayor’s term, which ends in 2016 (coincidentally).
I’ll be writing up some thoughts on how the media is presenting this again.
The issues are far more complex than can be summarized in a six to eight hundred word synopsis.
There are serious issues represented in how Chris Cuomo and the larger media are continuing to advance a historically flawed narrative surrounding the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. When the trial evidence was presented (poorly in my opinion) and then the jury verdict was announced, a decision by the media was needed. Would they admit their former false presentations, or would they double down on their false media narrative.
It is now clear the media is wantonly doubling down on their falsehoods.
It is also clear the reason they can get away with it is because Mark O’Mara played a white-guilt apologist role in keeping the “why” out of the sunlight.
As the only person who interviewed hundreds of students in/around Krop Senior High School, and having invested thousands of hours in research to the people and motivation’s behind the story, we will attempt clarification.
VERY FEW, almost no-one, at Krop Senior High School knew Trayvon Martin. When you understand why that is, you begin to understand how totally false the entire construct of the shooting storyline, as presented by the media, actually is.
The media are squirming and contorting like a pretzel on this one. After almost two years of media denial that random racially motivated “knock out assaults” on white people are factual, this Massachusetts example stands out as painful for the media’s desire to avoid.
In this example specifically what you see is BLACK RAGE against two white people who are representative of North East “crackers”. Seemingly well doing, wealthy, well presented, yuppie young white couple.
The imagery of this well-to-do young white couple in front of this young black man is too much for him to bear. The presence of this image in his life hits a central nerve and an autonomic, almost uncontrollable instinct is activated. He immediately channels his inner “Durango”.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. —Cambridge police are on the lookout for an assault suspect after he allegedly punched two people in the head on a Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk and took another swing at a third.
A worker at a furniture store in Cambridge, told NewsCenter 5 he tended to two people Saturday at the store. The first, a tourist, said a tall, young man walked up behind him at the intersection of Mass Ave. and Dana Street and swung underneath his umbrella to punch him in the face. He suffered a bruise.
The second victim had just left the store with his girlfriend when the suspect rushed him from behind and punched him in the side of the head. That attack, caught on the store’s surveillance camera and obtained exclusively by NewsCenter 5, shows the suspect swinging at the victim and then walking away in the direction of Harvard Square.
