The AP reports on what is already well known and accepted. The Obama administration is the least transparent administration ever evaluated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set a record again for censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn’t find documents and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy.

It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law — but only when it was challenged. (more…)

(Via Jerusalem Post) The Israeli elections took a dramatic turn in the early morning hours on Wednesday as official tallies from nearly all precincts indicate that Likud has opened up a significant lead over Zionist Union, a far cry from the virtual dead heat that television exit polls had reported Tuesday evening.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting before dawn on Wednesday, the Likud has emerged as the clear, undisputed victor in the elections.

According to the official up-to-the-minute tally, Likud wins 30 seats while Zionist Union comes in second at 24 seats.

The parties that follow are Joint Arab List (14); Yesh Atid (11); Kulanu (10); Bayit Yehudi (8); Shas (7); United Torah Judaism (6); Yisrael Beytenu (6); and Meretz (4). (read more)

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.

According to prosecuting attorney Robert McCulloch a .40 caliber (weapon) was recovered on Jeffrey Williams, and Williams admitted to shooting toward the police.  In addition his vehicle is on video driving to the scene and within 27 seconds of pulling his vehicle onto the street (where the shots originated) the gunfire took place. 

Now comes the defense spin....

CLAYTON • The lawyer for Jeffrey Williams, who is accused of wounding two police officers at a protest in Ferguson last week, insisted Tuesday that his client did not shoot them — even though the prosecutor and a minister have said Williams admitted it.

The lawyer, Jerryl Christmas, also claimed that Williams was beaten during the arrest, a claim that police deny.

In addition, Christmas said the officers hit by gunfire were shot by accident, but would not say how he knows that if Williams was not the shooter. He said Williams did not fire a gun that night. (more…)

(Via Politico) Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock resigned Tuesday, less than 12 hours after POLITICO raised questions about tens of thousands of dollars in mileage reimbursements he received for his personal vehicle.

Schock billed the federal government and his campaign for logging roughly 170,000 miles on his personal car between January 2010 and July 2014. But when he sold that Chevrolet Tahoe in July 2014, it had only roughly 80,000 miles on the odometer, according to public records obtained by POLITICO under Illinois open records laws.

The documents, in other words, indicate he was reimbursed for 90,000 miles more than his car was ever driven.  (read more)

Previously we opined – Aaron Schock should resign from congress, but not specifically because of any controversy regarding his ridiculous outlandish spending that the MSM has recently sought to bring to the attention of the public. No, Schock should resign because he has compromised himself at the altar of the GOP establishment, the “Decepticons”.

We have repeatedly outlined the agenda of the professional establishment class of BIG GOP Republicans, the false constituency within the conservative movement that advances government at the same or similar rate to Democrats, hence the term “Decepticons”. (more…)

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…)

The form is called an OF-109 and it has become the latest center of a controversy over the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Essentially the legally binding form requires the signature of all exiting State Dept Personnel affirming they have turned over all official documents to the custody of the State Dept.   Update for video:

Hillary left her office at the end of 2012.  However, because she only used a personal email system (including server), for official State Dept business, she did not produce the documents until late-summer 2014.

Megyn Kelly and Fox News submitted FOIA requests for information of the form Hillary was required to sign. (more…)

SAINT LOUIS – A St. Louis non-profit that raises funds for police officers’ legal funds welcomed a very special guest to its annual trivia night on Saturday — former Ferguson cop Darren Wilson.

Hunt for Justice director Christopher Hunt, who is also an officer with the St. Charles County Police Department, tells Daily RFT that Wilson made some brief remarks to open the organizations’ yearly gala. According to Hunt, there is no recording of Wilson’s remarks, but Hunt says Wilson did not mention anything about Ferguson. (more…)

(Breitbart) Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” long-time Clinton ally James Carville admitted Hillary’s private email system being designed to intentionally frustrate congressional oversight.
