(Via New York Times) A federal judge on Friday ruled on behalf of Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, in its lawsuit against the State Department for documents related to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure there.

Judge Gladys Kessler of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the State Department to produce passenger manifests from 47 overseas trips that Mrs. Clinton made as secretary of state. Citizens United requested the manifests last July through a Freedom of Information Act Request.

The State Department, the judge wrote, must release the first batch of records by April 3, with more being released every two weeks; all the documents must be given to the group no later than Aug. 1.

The group requested the flight manifests to examine whether Clinton Foundation donors had accompanied Mrs. Clinton on State Department trips. (more…)

Within minutes of the Ferguson protesters (#F**kThePolice activists) shooting two police officers in Ferguson Missouri the insufferable media went into overdrive trying to protect them from the consequences of their violent exhibition.

Police union representative, Jeff Roorda rightly pointed out the goal of the FTP movement has continued to be violence against police since the outbreak of the activity in August of 2014. The protestors have conducted physical assaults, spat on police, initiated riots, conducted arson, engaged in looting, and most recently shot two police officers.

The media, however, are desperate to protect their chosen narrative. Cue the audio visual demonstration:

Obviously the media goal, as it has been from the outset, is to try and diminish the behavior of the attackers by parsing words and deflecting responsibility.

One of the professional provocateurs/antagonists immediately shrieks from the sunlight brought by Roorda’s stark delivery of fact. (more…)

HatTip Gateway Pundit:

“there’s no need to take that tone with me“… Yikes.

Within a rather extensive article in Time Magazine of Hillary Clinton’s disposition toward political truth and fact-finding the following paragraph strikes a rather disconcerting message:

TIME – […] All this once made sense to Clinton. As a candidate for President in 2008, she included “secret White House email accounts” as part of her critique of the Bush Administration’s “stunning record of secrecy and corruption.” Now, however, Clinton is leaning heavily on “Trust me.”

For more than a year after she left office in 2013, she did not transfer work-related email from her private account to the State Department. She commissioned a review of the 62,320 messages in her account only after the department–spurred by the congressional investigation–asked her to do so. And this review did not involve opening and reading each email; instead, Clinton’s lawyers created a list of names and keywords related to her work and searched for those. Slightly more than half the total cache–31,830 emails–did not contain any of the search terms, according to Clinton’s staff, so they were deemed to be “private, personal records.” (read more)

I’ve tried three times to write this… but the knot in my throat keeps blocking the keystrokes.  There’s a couple of pictures that everyone needs to see today.

Especially today.

The first picture to see is 6-year-old Marcus Johnson. Marcus was a kindergartner at Highland Elementary in the Riverview Gardens School District.

[…] The shooting happened about 7:30 p.m. [last night] as the family was leaving O’Fallon Park, just south of Interstate 70 in north St. Louis. Inside the van were three adults and five children.

The family said that a black vehicle pulled alongside their minivan on West Florissant Avenue and someone inside opened fire, Green said. The father of the child was driving the minivan grabbed a firearm and returned fire, police said.

After realizing three people in the minivan had been shot, the driver called police.

A 15-year-old boy and a 69-year-old man in the minivan were also hit. Both were being treated at a hospital. Police would not give their conditions, but said they were stable.

The child’s mother and three other children, ages 7, 10, and 11, were also in the minivan, police said. They were not hurt. (link)

Marcus was rushed by police to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Which brings me to the second picture. (more…)

Video of Jon Belmar update below article

(Via Saint Louis Post Dispatch) Officers swarmed a home in Ferguson Thursday morning in a search for those responsible for the shooting of two police officers outside the Ferguson police department about midnight.

The two officers shot early Thursday are expected to survive, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. They were treated at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and released Thursday, though one still had a bullet lodged behind his ear.

Belmar called the shooting as protests outside the department dwindled an “ambush” on police. At least three shots were fired at police just after midnight as police faced protesters who had gathered outside the police station, police said. (more…)

Where do you think the shots came from?

BREAKING OVERNIGHT –  Two police officers have been shot in Ferguson Missouri during the protest by Ferguson “F**k The Police” agitators outside the Ferguson police HQ.

@02:40 …I don’t know who did the shooting to be honest with your right now… but, uh, somehow they were embedded in that group of folks”… (ie. the Ferguson protestors)

One police officer was shot in the face, the second was shot in the shoulder.  The shots appear to have come from a hill/road opposite the police station and within the crowd of protestors. More updates follow:
