MOSCOW (AFP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month rejected an offer from United States (US) President Barack Obama for landmark bilateral talks at the White House, the Kremlin revealed on Tuesday.

Less than a week before Mr Putin’s May 7 inauguration, he received a missive from Mr Obama touching upon bilateral and international issues and inviting him to discuss them in a bilateral summit on the sidelines of the May 18 to 19 G8 summit, Mr Putin’s foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said.  (more…)

MSNBC is a faux news propaganda entity selling the far-left talking points from Media Matters et al, 24/7.   Period.   Their entire lineup of pundits, newsies, talking heads and show hosts are specifically and intentionally similar in one key aspect, supporting the far-left in general, and President Obama specifically.
This intellectually honest definition of MSNBC is no longer challenged by any observer of the media or their agenda.   The insufferable lack of objectivity is also why MSNBC lags significantly behind the other news providers;  MSNBC is simply a propaganda machine.
But they carry their echo-chambering message a bit to far at times ergo recently evidenced by host Chris Hayes saying he’s uncomfortable calling fallen soldiers heroes.   He is, for all intents and purposes, a typical far-left prog.   In typical prog elitist fashion his ‘Airs and Graces’ are far superior than all others except those few within his closed circle of like-minded prog elites.
The visible arrogance and pontificating attitude of superiority within such mindsets are the key qualifiers to determine how ideologically entrenched the pundit is on the propaganda channel.   Rachael Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Melissa Harris Perry, Martin Bashir and Chris Hayes are all cut from the exact same cloth.

HatTip Sibilj – The NAACP is hosting it’s annual leadership conference this weekend in Destin Florida.   Today (Saturday) TrayMom™ will be joining Daryl Parks, from the Trayvon family law firm of Parks and Crump, at a panel discussion (details below).  But what is more interesting is what follows later in the evening.  First the Panel discussion:

Judge Greg Mathis, comedian Marlon Wayans and others will join Trayvon Martin family attorney Daryl Parks for an NAACP-hosted panel discussion on the late teenager, the justice system and its treatment of black and minority youths.

Titled “Protecting Our Black Men Walking,” the two-hour town hall will feature talks on racial profiling, the high incarceration rates of minorities, police misconduct and more. The event, which is the centerpiece of the NAACP’s annual leadership conference in Destin, Fla., will be live streamed.

Later in the day  Daryl Parks will be recognized with Chairman’s Leadership and Achievement Award at the Annual  Leadership by Design Achievement Dinner.  Here is the interesting portfolio presented by the NAACP as background for Daryl Parks winning this year’s award: (more…)

Pathological Liberalism, how Weineresque !
(Mass Live) — Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she knows she has Native American ancestry because her mother told her so.
Warren’s comments came after nearly four minutes of tense back and forth between Warren and Fox 25 reporter Sharman Sacchetti and 7News reporter Andy Hiller. As both reporters questioned Warren about why she listed herself as a minority in law directories, Warren refused to answer, saying she had already answered questions about her background.
Finally, Warren said, “I am proud of my family and I am proud of my heritage.”
Hiller followed up: “Does it include an Indian background?” (more…)

President Obama says under his watch the “federal spending has risen at the lowest pace” in years…

So President Obama has the lowest percentage increase in spending according to his spin. But that gives the 2009 spending to George Bush by default, and is actually quite impossible to charge.
Why? Because there was no spending budget for fiscal year 2009. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and then Senator Obama blocked the April 2008 budget proposal from George Bush and never had a budget for 2009. (more…)

Most of us have narcissistic traits, and a certain degree of self-interest is healthy. But at what point does self-absorption become pathological narcissism?
Michelle Obama on Swimsuit Woes, Bedtime with the President, And Wanting to be Beyoncé Fashionista  – [A]s it happens, Mrs. O’s personal rule is not too much an inconvenience, since the super-sporty First Lady is not much of a swimmer. “I won’t drown,” she said, “But you won’t see me doing laps in the pool.” Of course, that’s probably just about the only exercise she doesn’t excel at — and while her husband may be the President of the United States, MOBama says she can still kick his butt when it comes to working out. “[We don’t compete at the gym] anymore, because I’m in way better shape than he is,” she said.
In the interview, Michelle also confirms suspicions that her and Barack are indeed the cutest freaking couple in the universe. “We have a ritual where he tucks me in, because I’m usually in bed before anybody,” she said. “He’ll come and turn the lights out and give me a kiss and we’ll talk. He’s like, ‘Ready to be tucked?’ I’m like, ‘Yes I am.” (more…)

RUSH  –  Facebook Falls Facedown, Regime Targets Morgan Stanley – The Facebook IPO. Ho-ho-ho-ho! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Somebody’s gonna have to pay for this. These are Obama’s buddies at Facebook.  Well, because the bottom’s falling out. They can’t maintain the initial price, the 38 bucks.  Right.

Well, okay. So somebody’s gonna have to pay the price for this. Somebody’s gonna get the blame for this. You can’t have these people losing Obama money like this. That can’t happen. You can’t blame Goldman Sachs. They’re underwriters. They were in for $500 million at the outset, before the IPO. (more…)

In the latest crass attempt to raise money for Teh Won’s campaign, they have resorted to selling doggie sweaters and “I Meow for Michelle” cat collars.  Seriously, what self-respecting kitteh would wear one of these things?

Repost By Request:  Let’s see if we can even begin to summarize all of these interwoven connections that form the Trayvon Scheme Team agenda:

It begins with Tracy Martin reaching out on February 28th to his sister-in-law attorney Patricia Jones, she in turn contacted Benjamin Crump from Parks and Crump law firm in Tallahassee. Crump contacted Tracy Martin February 29th and took the case March 1st.
Chasing that initial “contact angle” takes you into another insane web of interwoven associations.  So I’m skipping it, but you can READ IT HERE.
Crump then contacted Orlando Attorney Natalie Jackson to begin the process of formulating the offensive strategy. Natalie Jackson is a Seminole County NAACP board member and serves as a member of the Legal Redress Committee. In addition Natalie Jackson’s mom, Francis Oliver, is a major activist and historian within the NAACP.

Natalie Jackson and Benjamin Crump hire Media Communications expert Ryan Julison, who Jackson had previously worked with on the Sanford Sherman Ware case where they were able to extort leverage financial restitution from the son of a former Sanford Police Lieutenant; the son’s name is Justin Collison, and he was charged with beating Sherman Ware. In addition to money paid to Sherman Ware, Collison, the grandson of a very wealthy former federal judge, also paid off the NAACP. Ryan Julison ran the media campaign to support Ware.
While Julison went about pitching the racist white George Zimmerman murdering the innocent Trayvon Martin to the media, which he did very effectively, Benjamin Crump got in touch with his former cohorts from the Martin Lee Anderson case; namely Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and National NAACP President Ben Jealous.
