Redistribution of intellectual effort.   No, this is not a joke – unfortunately.  If you earn an “A” and you are white or Asian, you need to have your grade lowered so a minority grade can be raised if lower.

WISCONSIN – A new policy at the University of Wisconsin – Madison states that good grades should be distributed equally among students of different races.


The policy, named the “Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence,” calls for “proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups at all levels of an institution, including high status special programs, high-demand majors, and in the distribution of grades.”
UW – Madison professor W. Lee Hansen wrote about his concerns with the policy in a piece published Wednesday. (more…)

If your children are old enough to be in college, they probably think the country they were born into is falling apart.  If you’re a Baby Boomer like myself, you know the country you were born into is already gone.  It’s a hard thing to thwart the general feeling of optimism shared by most Americans during a beautiful summer season.  But, if you stop and take a thoughtful assessment of the disasters currently befalling our world, perhaps you’ll see that the fall might be closer than you think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The summer of 2014 will go down in history as the season when America fell apart. Let’s take a tour of the disasters…

(Townhall)…Germany in 2008 enthusiastically hosted candidate Barack Obama for his so-called “Victory Column” speech. Now, Germans suddenly sound as if they are near-enemies of the U.S. Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly was furious that her cell phone was tapped by American intelligence agents. She just kicked the top CIA official out of Germany, further enraged that the U.S. had recruited at least one German official to provide intelligence on the German government. Polls show that Germans find Vladimir Putin’s Russian tyranny almost as popular as Barack Obama’s America.
Japan is becoming similarly frustrated with the U.S. It is rearming like crazy to confront an aggressive China. Both Asian powers apparently assume that Obama won’t guarantee the security of the Japanese as America had in the past. (more…)

We’ll keep repeating this because it takes a lot of effort to break through the lame stream media narrative AS THEY AVOID – AVOID – AVOID.   
President Obama, and by consequence his water-carrying cohorts, are on the wrong side of the majority of Americans on the border crisis.

This recent article in The Hill, highlights the disconnect and the problem for Democrats in general.    In 2011 President Obama stood on the banks of the Rio Grande and announced “the border is secure”.   He went on to shout opposite opinion in that regard, “they want a moat – alligators in the moat”, was silly.
In 2014 the unsecure border reality has become the “border crisis”, and is now haunting President Obama and his cohorts in ideology.   They are beginning to twitch, visibly.
A similar analogy would be to compare the controversial issue around the Islamic Mosque proposed for New York, at Ground Zero.   The media and Dems worked feverishly to portray opposition as “bigoted and nativist”.    But the reality was the majority of Americans opposed the entire premise.   Try as hard as they would, it remained a losing issue for the Dems, but they held on to it as long as they could; eventually conceding collapse under the sheer weight of opposition.   Quietly the issue disappeared.
So too is this claim that expecting the border to be secure -from infiltrators of any ideology- is a bigoted position.   It just won’t sell.   Americans of all persuasions can see the depth of stupid; and when we say ‘of all persuasions’ we mean regardless of political tendencies. (more…)

According to this report highlighted in The Hill Democrats are planning to use “race” as a weapon in all of their mid-term races.    This tactic was recently used in Mississippi, ironically by the GOP, with much success.  Hence it has caught the attention of the Democrats as an effective method to avoid electoral defeats.
Essentially, Democrats will use a national strategy to say if the “GOP” member wins in any house or Senate race, then black people will have their Food Stamps, or Medicaid, or benefits removed.  
Various DNC instructions will be to make it personal and specifically targeted to the individuals in the race.   This, Democrats hope, will bring an influx of minority voters to polls and stave off electoral defeats.   After all, it did work successfully for Thad Cochran in Mississippi.
Democrats are injecting race into the 2014 midterm elections amid fears that a drop-off in minority voters could severely cost them at the polls this fall.
WASHINGTON DC – “RACISM AS A STRATEGY” – Democratic leaders in Congress and administration officials have suggested GOP opposition to policies ranging from immigration reform to ObamaCare are, at least partly, motivated by race.
More broadly, they’ve suggested conservative Tea Party criticism of President Obama is based on the fact that he is black.
Democrats reject charges that the rhetoric is a concerted political calculation on their part as they try to retain their Senate majority and make gains in the House. (more…)

It’s a precarious position Senator Cruz is staking out.   Ultimately he’s going to have to make a decision about staying with the NRSC, as the evidence of NRSC FEC fraud is brought to sunlight by the Mississippi election.
So far he’s only vocalizing his animosity about the NRSC using race-baiting tactics to attack another Republican, Chris McDaniel.  However, if the vote-buying fraud is tied to the NRSC  –which evidence is clearly outlining– then Ted Cruz will either have to cut bait, or stay forever hooked to the fraud.
(Via The Hill) GOP hopes of corralling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during the 2014 primary season are officially dead.
The defiant Republican’s brutal criticism of Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) reelection campaign on Tuesday — and the involvement of a group he is technically a vice chairman of, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) — is just the latest example of the Tea Party hero refusing to play nice.
That brazen approach has exacerbated already fragile relations with establishment Republicans, who believe the freshman senator is intentionally undercutting them for no reason other than furthering his own political career.
Meanwhile, his conservative base is rejoicing that he’s refusing to be cowed. (more…)

The irony of this statement by Tom Perez is not lost on us.   You see, Tom Perez used to be the head of the Community Relations Service (CRS) within the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.  

 

We have stated for several years the CRS is filled with intensely angry leadership who advocate for aggressive, often violent, racial confrontations.   To see the former head of the DOJ Anger Army proclaiming his desire for violence against Republicans is, well, just typical. 

WASHINGTON — When members of Congress suggest unemployed Americans aren’t trying hard enough to get jobs, U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez gets mad.
“When I hear people on Capitol Hill say the long-term unemployed are unemployed by choice, I wanna punch ‘em,” Perez said Tuesday during a meeting with reporters. […]

It would be more than important to listen to this audio/video interview with Mark Levin before dropping below the fold:

You’ll note that Senator Ted Cruz seems to express disgust and outrage against the tactics deployed by what he calls the “DC Machine”. Cruz states that their conduct in the Mississippi runoff was “incredibly disappointing” etc.
However, we now know -from specific documentation provided by internal research into the activity around the Mississippi campaign- that the National Republican Senatorial Campaign, the NRSC, was the financier for the attack ads against Chris McDaniel.
So who is the “DC Machine”, this “leadership of the NRSC”, that Senator Ted Cruz is so “incredibly disappointed” in ? (more…)

This entire media mantra around the illegal crossing of our border is getting on my last nerve.    Will someone please just call it like it is.

“We do that which is important to us”

President Obama has intentionally created this crisis to give leverage to his goals of changing the landscape of American social construct.   This administration is pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens, and consequentially the collapse their political opposition.   To reach that goal the current U.S. administration is intentionally asking illegal aliens to swarm our nations borders – and supporting them toward that end.
If President Obama wanted to stop the crisis, he could order it stopped in less than 48 hours.   He doesn’t.

North Carolina – Outraged viewers reached out to Eyewitness News about a Facebook video they said showed three young people attacking and robbing an ice cream man in Northeast Charlotte.
A girl opens an ice cream cart in the beginning of the video.  The ice cream man closes it and soon the girl and other young people begin hitting the man over and over.

“It seems like he’s not trying to fight back initially, like he just wants to be left alone, and that’s the thing — you can’t even be left alone,” said Manuel Fuentes. (more…)

The similarities between the Haggin’s family statements and behaviors (June/July 2014), bear a remarkable similarity to the Martin Family statements and behaviors (March/April 2012).    Parks and Crump to arrive in 3,…. 2,…. 1….. ?

Now the follow-up (emphasis mine):
(DAYTON, OHIO) The family of a teen who was fatally shot by a Dayton clothing store owner this week during an attempted robbery is speaking out, expressing their frustration and seeking answers surrounding the teen’s death, local media reports.
