Bree Newsome, the woman who climbed the flag pole today to remove the confederate flag, is no stranger to activism for profit.

Indeed, this morning’s entourage encompassed professional videographers to document the publicity stunt.

A resident of Raleigh North Carolina, in 2013 Ms. Newsome was arrested during a protest against voter ID laws:

Bree Newsome, one of six protesters arrested and taken to jail Wednesday night after staging a sit-in at the office of the Republican North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis, said the group is still demanding a meeting with Tillis, who supports the bill. (link)

In 2014 Newsome was a panelist at Octavia Butler Celebration of Arts & Activism at Spelman College; as described: “culminating event brings together the speculative fiction and film communities to discuss the legacy of Octavia E. Butler; the intersection of Afrofuturism, social justice and Butler’s body of work“.

Here’s a video from that event outlining her complete history during the introduction (watch – beginning 24:35) (more…)

A few days ago professional activist Shaun King was again fundraising by advocating for “Black Lives Matter” followers to break the law.  His “Fundraising for Felonies Program” was his latest scheme under the auspices of raising money for bail, and telling his sheeple followers to “tag” (graffiti) southern monuments, and take down confederate flags:

Today, a national activist took Shaun King up on his “fundraising for felonies” offer and climbed atop a Charleston flagpole to remove the flag. (more…)

SCOTUS did what many people figured they would do; with Chief Justice Roberts, yet again, joining the bench legislatures in a veiled effort to avoid the impression of a 5-4 ideological court.

SCOTUS – Today, by a vote of six to three, the Court agreed with the Obama administration that the subsidies are available for everyone who bought health insurance through an exchange, no matter whether that exchange was created by a state or the federal government.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the Court’s opinion, which Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan all joined.

The Court acknowledged that, at first blush, the phrase “established by the State” does not appear to include the federal government. After all, the ACA specifically defines “State” as “each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.” But other parts of the law, the Court explained, suggest that the “meaning of the phrase ‘established by the State’ is not so clear.” (more…)

This is rich. While simultaneously saying the people of Baltimore are too stupid a mob to stop destroying their city, Mosby claims that it was imperative she remove the constitutional protections of the police department in order to save Baltimore; and people should be thanking her for sacrificing the police for the greater good of society.

(Baltimore Sun) State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s announcement of charges against six officers in connection with the arrest and death of Freddie Gray restored order to Baltimore “before the entire city became an armed camp or was burned to the ground,” her office argued in a new court filing.

Michael Schatzow, Mosby’s top deputy, asked a judge this week to deny a motion by attorneys for the officers asking that the charges against their clients be thrown out because of missteps they say Mosby made.

The defense lawyers argued that by publicly announcing the charges against the six officers involved in Gray’s April 12 arrest, Mosby unforgivably biased potential jurors against their clients.

But Schatzow said seeking to restore calm was a legitimate move.

“Speaking in the middle of an ongoing riot, Mrs. Mosby was trying to calm the crowd, not incite it,” Schatzow wrote. “Her repeated pleas for peace while the criminal justice system does its work served a legitimate law enforcement function.” (link)

Shaun King and Deray Mckesson are ideological compatriots in the “Black Lives Matter” and “F**k The Police” crowd. In addition to being a paid professional agitator King also writes for Daily Kos and is friends with numerous left-wing media personalities.

Shaun King is also a con artist, and frequently advocates for violence and criminal behavior.  However, he might have gone a tad too far this time and publicly announced his “financing for felony” program:

Pro Golfer, Bubba Watson bought one of the original 1969 Dodge Charger “General Lee’s” for $110,000, at auction.  Bubba Watson plays on the PGA Tour, therefore the PGA and Golf are now racist….

(Via Vulture) The studio behind The Dukes of Hazzard has become the latest corporate giant to get out of the confederate flag business. Vulture has learned exclusively that Warner Bros.’ consumer licensing division — which for decades has licensed images of the Duke brothers’ iconic General Lee car for use on everything from T-shirts and model cars to lunch boxes and kids’ underwear — has opted to stop sanctioning the manufacturing of any products featuring the stars and bars.

“Warner Bros. Consumer Products has one licensee producing die-cast replicas and vehicle model kits featuring the General Lee with the confederate flag on its roof — as it was seen in the TV series,” a spokesman for the company said via email. “We have elected to cease the licensing of these product categories.” (more…)

“Daisy Duke” shorts are now also considered racist.  Some cheerleaders have worn “Daisy Duke” shorts, therefore cheerleaders are now also racist….

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – School across the country are reacting to a recent racially motivated church shooting in South Carolina by distancing themselves from the Old South.

Police believe 21-year-old Dylann Roof attended a bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston June 17 before opening fire on a dozen people, killing a total of nine black men and women, and injuring one other, The Washington Post reports.

“Federal law enforcement officials said Roof, who is white, declared his hatred for black people before opening fire, and the U.S. Justice Department has said it is investigating the attack as a hate crime,” according to the Post. (more…)

Before reading the rather extensive FBI files on the communist family of Valerie Jarrett, it’s much more valuable to review this backstory first. Please watch the following video from Bill Whittle before reviewing the FBI files:

Judicial Watch filed for, and received, the FBI investigative files of Valerie Jarrett:

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government.

Jarrett’s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show. (more…)

20,000 emails between Gruber and the White House prove the Obama administration was massively lying about Jonathan Gruber’s involvement with their construction of the ObamaCare fraud. And what happens when the emails are exposed?….

(Via Real Clear Politics) What happens when the news media catch the White House in a demonstrable lie? That depends entirely on whether they like the administration. If they loathe the administration, it’s front-page news. If they like it, they spike the story. As Momma used to remind us, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. What a great motto for reporters.

That is exactly what the national media have done to an important story about the White House’s intimate working relationship with MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who helped craft the Affordable Care Act. You may remember Gruber from his infamous videotapes, the ones in which he called the American public too stupid to understand the law. He added their stupidity was helpful to Obama, Pelosi, and Reid in passing the law. (more…)

A month before anyone knew the name Dylann Roof there was another series of racist incidents, utilizing flags, that led to another racist manifesto.

The first manifesto was delivered to the media a month before Charleston.  This manifesto was similarly filled with anger, bitterness, hatred and open threats of violence.  However, no-one paid any attention to it. Why?

In May a racist named Eric Sheppard Jr wrote a 1,500+ word racist manifesto with promises of violence toward his community in Georgia.

[…]  “THIS IS INDEED A CALL TO ACTION FOR EVERY AFRIKAN REVOLUTIONARY ON THE PLANET TO KILL ALL WHITE DEVILS AND RECLAIM YOUR RIGHTFUL POSITION AS RIGHTEOUS RULERS”..  (link)

The Valdosta Daily Times even published the manifesto complete with video from Sheppard outlining his threats and intentions, but no-one seemed to care.

[…] Sheppard stated he will “annihilate” anyone who comes after him and issued what appears to be threats of violence at Saturday’s graduation ceremonies at Lowndes High School.

The comments were made in a rambling, profanity-laced “memorandum ultimatum” sent to The Valdosta Daily Times condemning white people and local police.

A brief video showing Sheppard wearing sun glasses and inside what appeared to be an SUV accompanied his statement. (link)

The national airwaves were not filled with outrage, disgust or broadcasted conversations about racism. Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper and Sonny Hostin didn’t fly to Georgia, even after the FBI and U.S. Marshal’s office substantiated the threats. (more…)
