Rare is the video when you can show EVERYTHING that is wrong with pinky ring wearing, crust less sandwich eating, mealy mouthed, wish-washy, go along to get along, Decepticon Republican party. But MSNBC Joe Scarborough personifies all of those attributes into one ridiculous narrative….
….. This guy is just a flat out idiot. He’s an idiot. Period.
A black lady, Mona Nelson, kidnapped a 12 year old white boy, Jonathan Foster, from his home on Christmas eve 2010. She tied him up with twine and then burned him to death with a blowtorch. When she was finished she took his burned lifeless body out to the woods and threw him in a ditch. Her trial began this week.
The national media continues ignores the story…. We share it because no-one else will.
HOUSTON (KTRK) — On Wednesday, the mother of a little boy who was allegedly kidnapped and later turned up dead had to relive that day in court. On Thursday, Jonathan Foster’s grandmother had to do the same.
In tears, Mary Gifford testified about Foster, her grandson, coming home to Texas after living with relatives in Mississippi and Missouri in 2010. (more…)
Additionally the FISA court admits today it has to rely on the information presented to it when it determines legal authority. Also, the court has no mechanism to check the claims brought to it by the NSA or Justice Dept. One example is outlined in the Washington Post article.
(WASHINGTON POST) The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.
Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United States, both of which are restricted by law and executive order. They range from significant violations of law to typographical errors that resulted in unintended interception of U.S. e-mails and telephone calls.
The documents, provided earlier this summer to The Washington Post by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, include a level of detail and analysis that is not routinely shared with Congress or the special court that oversees surveillance. In one of the documents, agency personnel are instructed to remove details and substitute more generic language in reports to the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

ROSE CITY, Mich. – When Rose City middle school teacher Neal Erickson pleaded guilty to molesting one of his students a while back, most observers expected an open-and-shut case with the school community rallying around the teenage victim.

And in some ways it was. Erickson was sentenced to 15-30 years in prison for carrying on a sexual relationship with a boy in his young teens between 2006 and 2009. That should have been the end of the horrific tale.
But seven teachers kept the controversy alive by rallying behind the rapist, going so far as to write letters to the sentencing judge, seeking leniency on his behalf. The letters were posted on a local blog, WBRC Teachers.

First the FAIL – TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature is coming out solidly against a special session to repeal the state’s “stand your ground” law.
The Department of State on Wednesday released a list that showed more than half of the state’s 160-member Legislature has already voted against the idea.
The vote was triggered earlier after 33 legislators asked for a special session in writing. They were urged to do so by the Dream Defenders group, which is upset with the July verdict in the George Zimmerman case.
Under an obscure state law, the written requests required an official poll. A yes vote by three-fifths of the Legislature would have resulted in a special session. (more)
Then the RESULT….. (more…)
HOUSTON TEXAS – Angela Davis told a gripping story Wednesday about receiving cryptic phone calls from her 12-year-old son and a strange woman, racing home on her motor scooter that stalled and then breathlessly running the last 100 hundred yards on foot to her north Houston duplex.
But after fumbling with her key, she finally opened the door that Christmas eve in 2010 only to discover that her son Johnathon had vanished seconds earlier.
Ominous phone calls
A half glass of cold milk sat on a table. Cartoons blared from the television and a computer game was loaded and ready to play. But the tin box filled with Tootsie Rolls left behind was what brought tears to Davis’ eyes and made it hard for her to continue testifying in the capital murder trial of Mona Nelson, the woman accused in the killing of her red-headed fifth-grader, Jonathan Foster.
