It is an interesting juxtaposition to review the 2015 Sybrina Fulton against the 2012 Sybrina Fulton.
Remember, this is Trayvon’s disconnected mother who never left Miami Gardens when she learned of his death. Nor did she know much about Trayvon, his activity, his general sensibility. In reality Sybrina had only known Trayvon for a little less than 2 years.
Here she is a few days ago:
Five days ago CNN’s Evan Perez wrote an exclusive story on CNN highlighting a 2015 DHS Sovereign Citizen report. Part of the CNN storyline stated the DHS report was alarmingly concerned with “right-wing” extremist groups.
You can see how the CNN analysis was framed by looking at this screenshot:
Within the CNN analysis they claim serious threats:
[…] ”from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS”.
Except, there’s something very divergent – The actual report does not claim that the threat to police is growing, it does not conflate sovereigns with other anti-government groups, it makes no broad claims about terror on the right, and it does not compare the sovereigns to ISIS or to any other foreign terrorists.
There is absolutely nothing in the report to suggest such an interpretation. Heck, the words “right-wing” do not even show up in the report anywhere. (more…)
We have some really great folks on our team inside the rebel alliance. Dennis Michael Lynch is fearless and fierce. Bill Whittle is excellent in oration, delivery and intellectual armorment; and the way Dan Joseph asks the “why” questions, the timing and the use of silence, makes him a brilliant presenter. Watch:
As previously mentioned, there is a growing body of evidence reflecting the next strategy in the psychological operations being used by ISIS. Essentially, the chatter is claiming that the captured Christian hostages, the Assyrians’, were specifically taken so that ISIS could put together a message for U.S. President Barack Obama.
It is difficult to know how much credibility to assign to these claims. There is also a growing conversation about how Obama’s refusal to identify the religious motivation of ISIS could also be driving the jihadists to intensify their ‘religious targeting’ in an effort to make Western Leaders (who refuse to identify the authentic Islam behavior of ISIS) seem like they are foolish, weak and afraid.
SYRIA – ISIS is clearly feeling the pain after weeks of intense air strikes against it by the U.S.- led coalition fighting the spread of the terrorist organization in the Middle East.
Employing its familiar tactics, the Islamic State is now threatening to execute the 150 Assyrian Christians they have taken hostage in Syria.
Even while making the arrests, of suspected terrorists, the federal authorities maintain the air of political correctness:
“As alleged, the defendants looked to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant by flying to Turkey in a vain attempt to evade detection. And one of the defendants was prepared to commit acts of terror here —in America— if he could not travel, to include killing FBI agents.
The defendants violated the true tenants of their faith in pursuit of their radical, violent agenda. We rely on help from the community, the public, and religious leaders to be mindful of those who could be radicalized. We cannot do this alone,”….
Obviously the same sensitive definitions would not be allowed if the pesky jihadists were Amish…. so sayeth FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Rodriguez. (more…)
(Via Campus Reform) MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry said Monday that she hoped that Trayvon Martin “whooped the shit out of George Zimmerman.”
Harris-Perry’s remarks came Monday while speaking during Cornell University’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Lecture.
The event, which was first reported by The Cornell Review, was titled “We Can’t Breathe: The Continuing Consequences of Inequality,” and was meant to serve “as a thought-provoking reflection on contemporary race relations and the role the teachings of Dr. King should play today,” according to the Review.

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…)
