An interesting article within The Hill begins to outline how much effort President Obama and the ideological cohorts within the administration went to try and get Benjamin Netanyahu defeated.

According to a source for the information within the article, at the end of the Israeli election: “I think the president, Tuesday night, felt like he lost“.

And when you look at how extensive Obama and Kerry’s efforts were including:

…”The State Department people in the end of January, early February, expedited visas for [Israeli] Arab leaders to come to the United States to learn how to vote…

…and you understand how emotionally invested Obama’s team was in that outcome, you can begin to understand the administration’s response in the face of their defeat.

(Via The Hill) President Obama’s role during the Israeli elections was larger than reported, according to a pollster for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.

“What was not well reported in the American media is that President Obama and his allies were playing in the election to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu,” John McLaughlin, a Republican strategist, said in an interview on John Catsimatidis’s “The Cats Roundtable” radio show broadcast Sunday on AM 970 in New York.

“There was money moving that included taxpayer U.S. dollars, through non-profit organizations. And there were various liberal groups in the United States that were raising millions to fund a campaign called V15 against Prime Minister Netanyahu,” McLaughlin said. (more…)

Oh, they’ll try to find some PC touchy-feely way to save face, but the reality it their business model was moments away from financial implosion. This comes as a surprise decision to, well, no-one. The reversal is effective “immediately”.

(AP) – According to a recently released internal memo, Starbucks baristas will no longer write “Race Together” on customers’ cups starting Sunday.

Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson says the campaign to create discussion on diversity and racial inequality will continue without the handwritten messages, which are phasing out as originally planned.

The memo from CEO Howard Schultz says the cups were always “just the catalyst” for a broader conversation and the company will still hold forum discussions, co-produce special sections in USA TODAY and put more stores in minority communities as part of the Race Together initiative. (more…)

A video showcasing the exploits and maneuvers of the farm league professional grievance class. I strongly urge you to watch the whole 11 minute video and then follow the links to the backstory.

This can be especially useful for those only recently connecting the dots, because this video aids in a larger understanding through the effective use of Madison Wisconsin as an example.

You know the Starbucks brand image consultants are either: rushing, or full-on moonbat stupid – when they hashtag name their cause “#Racetogether”.

This is, after all, a Social Justice Obama-era of social “ism’s” replete with little check boxes for you to mark your “privilege”, and views on “sexism” – and so forth.

Gender social issues have been advanced (by 3% of the population) to a status of priority just below the top tier, just below race, when the moonbats howl.  Remember also, from the brain of the campus rape culture narrative flag bearers – this is a big effen’ deal. So allow me to point out the Moonbattery of the Starbucks committee.

#Racetogether = Race-To-Get-Her. Starbucks is promoting the rape culture.

I digress. Here’s their handout:

It has been said by those on the left that ridicule is a potent political weapon.

If that be a true intention or motive -and if that were the desire of the opposite political forces- the behavior of the U-VA students today could only be called ‘teeing themselves up’ for it.

Even the Washington Post, not exactly a right-minded media outlet, has trouble not injecting a pointed amount of ridicule (via humor) into their outline of today’s events.

The WaPo outlines a U-VA session today where students were invited to question local and state law enforcement about the arrest of Martese Johnson.

Don’t laugh too loud when you look at the poster of the students walking into the meeting and realize they must be psychic or something:

Boy they sure appear open-minded.

I digress. (more…)

It’s official Day #2.  CNN has decided there is enough activity in the #Hashtag social justice movement for Martese Johnson; they are now entering the preliminary stages of broadcast narrative advancement.

Here’s the general tone from the Associated Press – Note the: “if we don’t get it shut it down” chant – which is the original chant created by Anthony Shahid, the primary Ferguson agitator.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Students at the University of Virginia are demanding justice for a student who was injured during an arrest and appears in a photo with a bloody face as he is being held down by an officer.

About 1,000 students showed up — more than expected, so the rally for Martese Johnson was moved several times, finally ending up at an outdoor amphitheater.

Many chanted: “If we don’t get it, shut it down!”

Yesterday Ferguson police shooter Jeffrey Williams’ attorney, Jerryl Christmas, made the claim that his client was beaten by Saint Louis Police during his arrest. Attorney Christmas, and Ferguson protest leader, Bishop Derrick Robinson, have now both made that claim.

As noted in the Saint Louis media:

[…] “Jerryl Christmas, also claimed that Williams was beaten during the arrest, a claim that police deny”.

[…] “Christmas said Williams had bruises on his back, neck and face as well as a knot on the back of his head, allegedly from the butt of an officer’s gun”. (link)

However, we have uncovered media video taken by KMOV on the night of the shooting which clearly shows Jeffrey Williams in a fight directly in front of the police department.

The video shows clearly Jeffrey Williams fighting with a large heavyset black male (grey hoodie), and getting hit numerous times during the fight.

This appears to be the direct source of any bruising – NOT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT: (more…)

The Wisconsin National Education Association (WNEA) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) fund a leftist group called “Wisconsin Jobs Now”.

Wisconsin Jobs Now has recently extended their left-wing antagonism efforts toward Madison Wisconsin where Tony Robinson was recently shot by police.

MADISON, Wis. – The National Education Association funded group, Wisconsin Jobs Now, continued its anti-police efforts at a rally it organized Wednesday.

Coming off months of protests against the Milwaukee Police Department, the group — that is also backed by the SEIU — is now targeting police in the liberal haven of Madison, Wisconsin.

Oh boy, this should be interesting…. I might just have to start buying that overpriced coffee.

It would be far more than generally delicious if one of those insufferable hipster students -majoring in advanced lesbian dance theory- would begin to pontificate their critical race beliefs upon my Ethiopian bean juice..

(Via WaPo) […] In partnership with USA Today, Starbucks has launched a week-long campaign under the banner “Race Together” to get staff and customers talking about race. In a video message, Schultz urges “partners” to write the phrase on their paper cups “to facilitate a conversation between you and our customers.” A USA Today supplement, set to be published March 20, includes a number of “conversation starters,” including the fill-in-the-blank question: “In the past year, I have been to the home of someone of a different race ___ times.”

You can imagine a group of feel-good liberals sitting around a Starbucks boardroom table discussing their magnanimous plans to ‘school-the-world’ via café speeches on race relations delivered by the Starbucks baristas. BRILLIANT.

This idea is an absolutely perfect representative example of liberal arrogance. (more…)
