In a stunning political embarrassment Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel could not capture 50% of the primary vote in his re-election bid. This means he will face a runoff in seven weeks against challenger Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.

According to the Chicago Tribune: […] “With 98 percent of the city’s precincts counted, unofficial results showed Emanuel with 45.4 percent and Cook County commissioner Garcia at 33.9 percent. Businessman Willie Wilson had 10.6 percent, 2nd Ward Ald. Bob Fioretti had 7.4 percent and frequent candidate William “Dock” Walls was at 2.8 percent”.  (more)

Despite raising a war chest over $16 million, much of it spent on TV advertising, apparently Mayor Rahm Emanuel is facing the very real possibility of losing the election. This could be interesting.

Things are not as they seem in the reports of these dialogues and communiques. First here’s the letter sent by Democrat Senators Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin (read it carefully):

And did you catch the actual false framework embedded in the construct?

…”the invitation you received from House Speaker Boehner … was sent without consultation with the White House or Democratic leadership”….

Nonsense. That’s a bunch of baloney already revealed by Boehner and Netanyahu.  The White House was notified; they chose not to respond or discuss the topic because they wanted to create a divisive talking point.

So is it any wonder why Benjamin Netanyahu would refuse to meet with two bald-faced liars who wrote him an openly political letter filled with those lies? (more…)

I make no attempt to hide my hopeful view of Egyptian President and Muslim leader Fattah el-Sisi.  I had given up believing in a modern secular Muslim leader, until we discovered el-Sisi

Having watched and researched the entirety of the mid-East Islamist Spring from well before it even appeared on the horizon of Western interest, there was an overwhelming sense of dismay -albeit within a small circle- at a very predictable chain of events. 

As a direct consequence of President Obama’s 2009 efforts – by the end of 2011 things actually seemed hopeless.  Syria began their civil war; Bahrain was trying to stop one from starting; Iran had killed/jailed the freedom alliance (Green Movement); Tunis was in a state of turmoil; U.S. policy was destroying stability in Libya; Yemen was in crisis mode;  Saudi Arabia was pumping money into their citizenry to stop anxiety; and Egypt was being leveraged to the Muslim Brotherhood.

When you look at those events from the perspective of the average person, the family trying to do their best to give their kids a better life, things were beyond grim…. it wasn’t an “Arab Spring”, it was an Islamist Spring – and the dark forces of hate, pride, envy and anger all seemed to be relishing in the bloodshed… (more…)

Recent Polls reflected more than 70% of Americans support the construction of the U.S. Keystone Pipeline and only 26% oppose it.

However, just like ObamaCare, President Stompy Feet stays ideologically committed to the minority position and has just vetoed the Keystone bill.

President Obama on Tuesday vetoed legislation authorizing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, rebuffing the new Republican Congress amid a furious battle over Homeland Security funding.

The veto — just the third of Obama’s presidency — was made in private and without fanfare, reflecting the tensions in the Democratic Party over whether the pipeline should be approved. (link)

The President issued the following statement on his veto: (more…)

Weird story and even more weird explanation/apology. Ego, I guess.

(Via The Hill) Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald falsely claimed that he served in a military special forces unit, he admitted to the Huffington Post.

When a homeless veteran told McDonald in a conversation captured by CBS that he had served in special forces, the head of the VA replied that he had, too. The conversation aired during a CBS News story chronicling how the agency is working to house homeless veterans.

“I have no excuse,” McDonald told The Huffington Post. “I was not in special forces.”

He added that he “reacted spontaneously” and “wrongly [with] no intent in any way to describe my record as any different than it is.” (more…)

Benjamin Crump the family legal representative from: The Martin Lee Anderson case (2006); The Trayvon Martin shooting (2012); The Kendrick Johnson case (2013); and the Mike Brown shooting (2014), is heading to Washington State to represent the family of, and financial justice for, Antonio Zambrano-Montes’ (2015).  BACKSTORY

Ben Crump is half of the legal team from Parks and Crump law firm. Each of the previously mentioned cases were complete fabrications of “wrongful death“.

The Martin Lee Anderson (2006) and Trayvon Martin (2012 – Zimmerman) cases actually became criminal cases due to the claims of Ben Crump and the developing ‘Scheme Team”.  However, neither case resulted in a successful criminal prosecution.

Despite the failure of the Anderson and Zimmerman cases criminally, the State of Florida, and Bay County, did pay Crump off to go away in the Anderson case (State $5 million, Bay County $2.4 million).  Likewise an insurance carrier for the Zimmerman Home Owners Association paid Crump for the same reason in 2013 ($1.6 million).

James O’Keefe puts together a research video on Al Sharpton from the perspective of those inside the families he claims to advocate for. The overall video is ok, but in my opinion James has spotlighted the wrong genre in the professional Black Grievance Industry. (more after video)

(Via Project Veritas) Here’s our new video showing how the families and attorneys of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown really feel about Rev. Al Sharpton. Additionally, local clergy and others express their opinions about how Sharpton exploits tragedy for personal gain.

Accepting the timeline as presented, and accepting the 7:31pm USMS geo-location, one has to wonder.  “Right house, wrong Eric”? Surely, the police could not be that naïve. Surely they know there’s another Eric, a younger Eric, at the same residence.

Surely…. right?

This argument was made by all reasonable people back when the White House decided it was more politically opportune to trade GITMO detainees for Bowe Bergdahl. The newsworthy aspect is the confirmation from the other hostage’s family.

WASHINGTON DC – The brother of an American woman who was killed after spending months as a hostage of Islamic State militants says Kayla Mueller’s situation worsened after the government [Obama] traded five Taliban commanders for a captive U.S. soldier.

The militants increased their demands after the May swap for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Eric Mueller told NBC’s “Today” in an interview that aired Monday.

“That made the whole situation worse because that’s when the demands got greater,” he said. “They got larger. They realized that they had something.”

Mueller’s death was confirmed Feb. 10 by her family and U.S. officials. The Islamic State group claimed she died in a Jordanian airstrike, but U.S. officials have not confirmed that. The Pentagon said it didn’t know how she was killed. (more…)

The Associated Press is outlining the construct of the final negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. In essence, the short version is that Iran is going to be able to produce nuclear weapons, period.

GENEVA (AP) – The United States and Iran are shaping the contours of a deal that would initially freeze Tehran’s nuclear program but would allow it to slowly ramp up activities that could be used to make nuclear arms over the last years of the agreement’s duration. (read more)

Despite the incredible ramifications, and the very predictable arms race now virtually certain in the region, this should not come as a surprise.

Iran had to work swiftly, while President Obama was still in office and the U.S. is in a weakened state, due to the specifically intentional policies of the Obama administration. There have been many indicators of this outcome over the past several months and years.

Last August the reality of Iran gaining a nuclear weapon became assured when President Obama told the New York Times oh well, “we tried“. (more…)
