WASHINGTON DC – Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Dan Pfeiffer, an advisor to President Obama, wasn’t telling the truth:

“If [Obama] doesn’t get more involved in raising money and making this a choice, as Dan Pfeiffer said, you lose the Senate. And if you lose the Senate, turnout the lights because the party’s over,” said Gibbs on NBC this morning.
NBC host David Gregory asked, “Is the Senate in danger?”
“Definitely,” said Gibbs. “Absolutely.”

An Oceanside store that sells various gun parts to build a rifle from scratch warded off a federal raid Wednesday by filing a restraining order.
Dimitrios Karras, owner of Ares Armor, said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents were investigating their business, not for what they sell, but for the people who purchase their products.
Karras said the ATF threatened to shutter their business if they didn’t hand over the names of 5,000 customers who have purchased an 80 percent lower receiver (the base) for building an AR-15.   Full backstory here.
The Feds (ATF) wanted their customer list, the owners of Ares Armor wouldn’t turn it over.   Ares got a restraining order from the Court to block the ATF.   But ATF just completed a raid of their business anyway, in direct violation of that order:

This is an example where the espoused ideology (tolerance) of progressives run exactly counter to their intolerant action.   [*note* – Asheville N.C. is a liberal island in a generally conservative geography]   

Progs love to use the weapon of “bullying” to advance their social constructs especially around sexual orientation.  Gay becomes hip/cool and is warmly trumpeted in almost every school district.   Around the forced social engineering ‘race’ is another favorite for them to play with, and you’ll find numerous examples of teenage girls being told to “kiss a black boy to prove you are not racist”.    It’s a social meme advanced in the school systems that have evolved to become indoctrination camps. 
But look at how they approach a ‘straight kid’ who just happens to like My Little Pony.  Would they ask a girl student to leave her lunchbox at home?  Of course not.  Such is the pretzellian logic of the progs.  They’ll tell YOU when equality is permissible.

HatTip Chip Bennett – [BUNCOMBE COUNTY, N.C. (WRIC)]— A North Carolina mother whose son has been bullied for bringing a “My Little Pony” bag to class says school officials now won’t let him bring the bag to school.

Grayson Bruce is a big fan of “My Little Pony,” a cartoon that emphasizes to children that “friendship is magic.” But his interest has caused the 9-year-old to be bullied at school; his classmates say his favorite toy is for girls.
“They’re taking it a little too far, with punching me, pushing me down, calling me horrible names, stuff that really shouldn’t happen,” Bruce told WLOS News13, an ABC affiliate in Asheville, N.C. “Most of the characters in the show are girls, and most of the people put it toward girls, most of the toys are girlie.” (more…)

(HatTip MoonBattery)  Liberals aren’t just insane. They are this insane:

A ballot measure in Montana that would require an equal number of men and women to serve in the state Legislature is a step closer to getting on the November ballot.

A petition for the measure was approved last Tuesday by the Montana secretary of state’s office. The measure would force the Montana Legislature to reconstruct its gender makeup in a 50/50 split. Currently, women now hold 41 of the 150 seats in the Legislature.  (link)

If they can even come close to getting this on the ballot in Montana, I’m surprised it is not already law in New York and California.

While arguing against lunacy like this, be very careful not to mention that there are sound cultural, psychological, and even physiological reasons that there may be more men than women in a given legislature. It is a thought crime to acknowledge such reasons. (more…)

(WASHINGTON DC) – Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) ripped fellow Republicans on Thursday for objecting to a package of aid and sanctions to respond to the Ukrainian crisis, calling himself “embarrassed” and telling his GOP colleagues: “Don’t call yourself Reagan Republicans.”

The Senate has erupted in a dispute over provisions related to the International Monetary Fund in the Ukraine bill, as conservative Republicans protest that it is an unnecessary component of the package that passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a bipartisan vote this week.
In a fiery floor speech Thursday evening, McCain, who backed the Ukraine bill and has urged for a speedy congressional response, said he hasn’t “been embarrassed this way about members of my own party.” (more…)

Ah, Madison Wisconsin – ground zero home of ‘white guilt’.   Madison, Wisconsin – where the most radical of radical progressives have violently attacked any non-black who dare stand up to their insufferable stupidity.  Madison Wisconsin where they teach a class on:

“How to Exploit White Guilt for Fun and Profit

• Wear a white wristband as a reminder about your privilege, and as a personal commitment to explain why you wear the wristband.
• Set aside sections of the day to critically examine how privilege is working.
• Put a note on your mirror or computer screen as a reminder to think about privilege

REALITY BEGS TO DIFFER – – – MADISON (WKOW) — Police arrested six people believed to be involved in what they’re calling one of the most brutal crimes in recent memory.
Madison police say three men planned a home invasion, but broke into the wrong home on Quincy Avenue on the north side around 6 a.m. on February 23.

Police say the suspects were aware it was not the intended home, but they proceeded to violently attack the two victims who had been sleeping. The suspects are accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting the woman who was six months pregnant. (more…)

It’s all in there folks; all of the dots/signs you need to see while looking toward the horizon.  If you know what to look for this stuff is obvious.

I’ll fill in the historical framework after the article:

WASHINGTON DC – Insiders very close to House White House Press Secretary Jay Carney indicate that he’s on his way out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, The Mirror has learned. Carney has told people he’s leaving the White House soon.

In 2008, Carney became Director of Communications for Vice President Joe Biden. In 2011, he became the nation’s 29th press secretary, President Obama’s second, replacing Robert Gibbs. (more…)

In January of 2012 ABC’s George Stephanolopous asked then GOP candidate Mitt Romney if “state government had a responsibility to provide or ban birth control“? Watch it again:

Everyone watching in the auditorium, and everyone at home asked: “huh, what’s that about“?   That had to be the stupidest question EVER. What the heck is he talking about and why?
Alas, it was only a few weeks later we began to understand. ABC was setting the stage for the DNC to introduce Sandra Fluke. And weeks later the introduction of the DNC “War On Women” campaign.

It doesn’t take a tin foil hat to see how the FBI black-op’s investigation of CIA Director General Petraeus and his secret affair with Paula Broadwell was leveraged for sunlight avoidance.

WASHINGTON DC – American personnel on the ground in Benghazi the night of the 2012 terror attack are outraged after learning that the CIA’s inspector general never conducted an investigation into what happened — despite two CIA workers being killed in the attack and despite at least two complaints being filed by CIA employees.

Former Ambassador Chris Stevens, another State official and two ex-Navy SEALs working for the CIA were killed in that attack.
Many in the agency were told, or were under the impression, that an investigation was in the works, but that is not the case.
One person close to the issue told Fox News: “They should be doing an investigation to see what the chief of base in Benghazi and station chief in Tripoli did that night. If they did, they’d find out there were some major mistakes.” (more…)
