You’ve probably heard this story by now. Mr. William Baer was handcuffed and escorted out of a board meeting Monday night after expressing concern about a required reading book given to his 14-year-old daughter. The content of the book is outlined below.
Here Mr. Baer’s 14-year-old daughter speaks to the School Board about her dad’s arrest.
BUFFALO New York – Last month, News 4 Investigates told you about Bennett teachers who had come forward asking for help because they felt unsafe. They had even appealed to the school board saying conditions had become chaotic with students fighting and roaming the halls.
Now this vivid video describes just what they were talking about.
Coady, a district teacher for 30 years who’s been at Bennett for nine years, was among the teachers who talked to News 4 about his concerns.
Now he speaks exclusively to News 4 Investigates to describe the April 28 incident and why he jumped in to stop a fight between two female students. (more…)
I knew it would eventually surface. Secretary of State for Africa, J Carson, is outlining how under the Obama administration foreign policy is a method of advocating for “Social Justice” as a solution to ideologically driven opposition. In most recent events the Boko Haram Jihadists.
The exact same U.S. “social justice” approach via foreign policy, which is now openly displayed toward Nigeria (Boko Haram), was engaged two years ago in Uganda toward the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) and terrorist Joseph Kony. Remember #KonySurrender.
Step back and you can see how totally weak and disconnected this Obama Doctrine is.
This administration -and yes that includes both former and current secretary of States’ Hillary Clinton and John Kerry- view foreign policy through the prism of “social justice” definitions.
How so ? Think back to early 2013 and Sec. John Kerry talking about the issues in Syria, Egypt and the Middle East Palestinian conflict. Do you remember him giving speeches about the “real cause” for civil war being unemployment ? John Kerry wants to stop terrorism with a jobs program – 2013.
“[W]e’re not going to solve this challenge of terror and of extremism and of people finding an alternative if we’re not reaching out to people, talking to them, bringing them to the table and trying to work through major, perceived differences,” Secretary of State John Kerry told a gathering in Brussels on Monday. “I believe we have to create a new paradigm, frankly, to deal with this.” (link)
That was April 2013. Now today, May 2014, in a speech about Nigeria, John Kerry:
WASHINGTON DC – A new government report has found that last year’s sequester led to only one federal layoff, a conclusion that Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said Wednesday was an outrage.
Coburn said the finding from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is more proof that the Obama administration and its allies overhyped the effects of the automatic budget cuts, and in a letter to Obama budget director Sylvia Burwell, he demanded an official report on the government’s sequestration response.
“The Budget Control Act is the law of the land until Fiscal Year 2021, so it is essential to have a complete understanding of how agencies manage their workforces and operations in this constrained fiscal environment,” Coburn wrote. (more…)
(Commentary Magazine) Add another drop of tragedy to the story of America’s reluctant, no-boots-on-the-ground operation in Libya in 2011: Weapons that were never secured after Muammar Gaddafi’s ouster made their way to Boko Haram, the Islamist terrorist organization now holding hundreds of Nigerian girls.
Last May, Boko Haram staged an attack in the town of Bama, killing 55 innocents and freeing 100 prisoners. That month Reuters ran a story by Tim Cocks headlined “Nigeria’s Islamists staging bolder, deadlier comeback.” It explained:
The Bama attack showed their [Boko Haram’s] substantial firepower, including machine guns, large numbers of rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns, a sign the weapons flood from the Libyan war that helped rebels seize parts of Mali last year has reached Nigeria, officials say.
If you were sitting on the Benghazi fence unsure of whether there is actually any “there” there, this little segment from Fox News is going to peak your curiosity just *that much* more.
Apparently, according to Fox News Pundit Bob Beckel, he and White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon are “old friends”.
OK, fair enough, no biggie. Actually, who cares?
EXCEPT… Well,… listen carefully to what Bob Beckel says at 3:20 point of this video.
(Daily Beast) The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hurt the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.
In the past week, Clinton, who made protecting women and girls a key pillar of her tenure at the State Department, has been a vocal advocate for the 200 Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, the loosely organized group of militants terrorizing northern Nigeria.
Her May 4 tweet about the girls, using the hashtag #BringOurGirlsBack, was citied across the media and widely credited for raising awareness of their plight.
Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up to terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 4, 2014
I had a very strong feeling over the weekend, as I watched the eyes of the political opportunists light up, that #BringBackOurGirls was going to be another re-run of #KonySurrender.
However, even in the depths of my cynical inclinations I did not expect to see THIS:
In order to truly understand the Supernova Level of Irony, and jaw-dropping hypocrisy, you must fully understand the back story to Boko Haram and how one man and three women directly contributed to this crisis of abduction in Nigeria.
The man is Michelle Obama’s husband, President Obama. The three women are Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power.
House also approved H.Res. 565, requesting appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate #IRStargeting, 250-168 w/26 Dems voting yes.

WASHINGTON DC – The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about the agency’s targeting of conservative groups.
The House voted 231-187 for a resolution holding Lerner in contempt.
Lerner’s case will now be sent to the Justice Department, which then must decide whether to essentially prosecute Lerner in the case.
House GOP leaders have said Lerner’s testimony is important to fully investigate the scandal, in which IRS agents singled out Tea Party nonprofit applications for extra scrutiny. (more…)
300? …And yet people wonder why the Nigerian government has not cracked down. If a group of terrorists can wipe out an entire town in minutes, the government has no proclivity to rush in against them. Boko Haram is just as well armed as the government thanks to the Libyan Garage Sale sponsored by Clinton, Power, Rice and Obama.
(Associated Press) An attack by Boko Haram Islamists in a northeastern Nigerian town on the Cameroon border has killed hundreds of people, a local senator and witnesses said Wednesday.
News of the gruesome attack in Gamboru Ngala emerged hours after Islamists stormed the town on Monday, but casualty figures had remained unclear.
Area senator Ahmed Zanna told AFP that “the death toll from the attack is around 300,” while residents said more than 100 bodies had been collected so far and that the toll was likely rise. (link)
(Via Pam Geller) They set houses on fire and shot those who tried to escape. The only thing more overwhelming than the body count in the global jihad is the denial-apathy-apologetics of the West. And there is something more heinous than the conquest and slaughter rooted in jihadic doctrine, and that is the silence and the sanction of the West.
The banality of evil ….. (Continue Reading)
