George Zimmerman is in the crosshairs, but only momentarily and incidentally.  Zimmerman is a political product, a product to be used as as a specific example to the rest of the cultural nation who refuse to bow to the alter of the BGI collective.  

Most of the things we are freaked about today were fully fatal 13 months, or 13 years ago: George Zimmerman’s situation caused many to notice a growing lump on our neck.   The cancer was already killing us.  The lump on the side of our neck really isn’t just a bother because it makes our shirt collars sit funny.  The cancer was metastasized long before we noticed that the shirt was sitting funny and wouldn’t button right.  We should have figured out by now that the shirt is not the problem.  The bump on the side of our neck is not the problem.  The color of the shirt is certainly not the problem. 

The problem is metastasized malignancy.

Refusing to deal with that is a choice, and refusal to make a choice in light of the facts (for fear of the unknowns that lie beyond the choice) is also a choice.   It’s all connected……

…”Moreover,  if the EEOC claims that “criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact  based on race and national origin” why should an employer suffer the  consequences of faulty decisions made by individuals?”…

Back in December we discussed a decision in New Jersey where on September 19, 2012, the Newark, New Jersey Municipal Council passed Ordinance 12-1630, “which limits employers’ ability to conduct criminal background checks.” The ordinance went into effect November 18, 2012 and “prevents employers with five or more employees who do business, employ persons or take applications for employment in the City of Newark, from asking applicants about their criminal history.” (more…)

“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency. The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

Not everyone will understand the coded message in the headline.  That’s ok.

Here is the media report from yesterday’s fiasco…. (HatTip Manybuddies)

Here are some random thoughts to chew on…. (more…)

Krauthammer: I find this amazing. First of all, just hearing him say every first grader in America has to be prepared for a high-tech economy, that is a bit early, I think. The other part of this is here we are with $16 trillion in debt, a trillion dollars a year of deficits. We have created already, with under Obama, the biggest entitlement in 50 years. And now he wants to create a new entitlement for preschool for every 4-year-old in the country.

The worst part of this, this isn’t just any new entitlement. This is an entitlement in an area where we know the $7 billion a year that we spend on Head Start doesn’t make any difference after the third grade. There is a study that HHS has done that showed that. So it’s failure and yet he wants to double down and to make it universal. That’s probably a definition of a liberal.

Sometimes we find articles, insight, or perspectives that directly align with, solidify and confirm previous deep vetted research and presentations.   Such is the case with this:

WASHINGTON DC – Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here.

“When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only dehumanize me, you’re offending them,” he said. “No human being is illegal.”

Mr. Vargas testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee alongside Chris Crane — a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and president of the ICE agents’ union — who is unable to arrest him under the administration’s new non-deportation policies.

Mr. Vargas, who “came out” as an illegal immigrant several years ago, delivered an emotional plea for the country to legalize him. (more)

-Corporate profits are high, but wages are stagnant… it is therefore our task to restore the unfinished task that [redistributes wealth] opens the doors to opportunity.

-The nations interests should come before party.   [cept’ I’m gonna work on my agenda regardless of what y’all want]

-We are more than 1/2 way (2.5) to $4 trillion in deficit reduction [400 billion/yr].  The question is how to cut more.    [Republicans want to kill essential services, Democrats want to protect them]….  We won’t grow the middle class by shifting more cuts, “we cannot cut our way to prosperity”…..   I say more “investment”.

-Medicare payments should be made only for essential services to the elderly.   Doctors should not be allowed to order any test they want…. they should only order the tests that “I” approve.   That’ll help.

-Why should deficit controls impact Social Security?   We just need to raise more taxes, close loopholes, insure millionaires cannot avoid payment, stop companies from moving overseas and reform the tax code. (more…)

The President Obama White House has three current “priority issues” in the works.   Gun Control, Immigration Reform and Climate Change (energy reform) as current important objectives.

Compare those three to the Priority List of Americans in General.   Where do they fall?

The media is hiding portions of the LAPD shooter’s manifesto because it highlights his love for the left-wing media and political ideology.   The media version is available from Clear Channel Communications pdf. CLICK HERE

But here is the full unedited version (links at bottom) where he adores MSNBC and CNN and Piers Morgan etc.  He talks of Trayvon Martin and Hero Obama etc.    If this was the opposite side of the political spectrum, if he were a conservative, this guy on the loose would be live 24/7 on every TV channel….. but, because the leftists are his heros the media is trying to bury it.

I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be villified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name. (more…)
