…” We will continue from this point on, til’ next year, to try and come up with a way to solve the problems that we have. Because you’re right, I see it wasn’t safe, we were held hostage”.

Summary of life’s pinnacle accomplishment – HERE –
By now you have probably seen the outline and research we have assembled around the Myrtle Beach Massacre and Black Bike Week.
The reason we have continued to follow the story as it unfolds is because the event and consequences show a great example of how paralyzed a community can become when it allows fear to drive political correctness.
In addition, how the local government is responding is a case study in cultural fear and fear of the racist labeling. In this specific case Myrtle Beach is also afraid of the NAACP because they have a previous history of being sued by them.
The local city government is willing to pay vast sums of taxpayer money just to avoid confronting the root of the weekend violence. The violence is ironically created by, and enhanced by, their own avoidance policies. Subsequently the entire community is subjected to violence because they are caught in a catch-22 of political correctness.
To that end during a North Myrtle Beach City Council Meeting held 5/27/14 the local city council came prepared to fight the reality of the citizens angst with a litany of PC statistics to support their position.
The city council quickly coordinated their defense within hours of the Memorial Day holiday ending. Literally within hours. At 2pm the day after Memorial Day the local government was ready to defend themselves with charts and statistics, as if they already knew what to expect and were preparing in advance for the ire of the victims. Hmmmm? (more…)
Just as the national media is censoring the violence at Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, so too they are censoring violence at Black Beach Weekend in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
The event is officially called “Urban Beach Week,” and unofficially referred to as “Black Beach Week”. The Facebook page is HERE and the website for Urban Beach Week is HERE.
As you may have noted in a few disingenuous media articles – Miami was prepared for the event. Consequently it seems some of the annual chaos shifted North to Fort Lauderdale.
Miami police arrested 225 people in connection with the 2014 event. The drop in arrests in/around Miami was offset by the increase in arrests in Fort Lauderdale. (more…)
Oh, just, well, Gag-a-maggot….
(Via Truth Revolt) On today’s Now with Alex Wagner, the host played the hot audio clip of the day: the narrated excerpt from Hillary Clinton’s new book, released from Simon & Schuster. Among such revelatory insights as “run Hillary run” and “last Nevuary”, we had this very serious insight:
“She has a mellifluous alto, doesn’t she?”
That is some quality, day-time, hard-hitting news. Seriously, who talks that way? Mellifluous alto? She forgot to mention Hillary’s beatific countenance and indefatigable stoutheartedness. Wagner’s adroit toadying is as masterful in honed execution as it is peerlessly plauditory.
The question these days isn’t “is the media in the tank for Hillary” but rather, “how deep is the tank they are in”. For Alex Wagner, the answer is: the tank is deep. The analysis, not so much. (link)
HatTip WeaselZippers – (Via The Hill) Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), a former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has been placed on the ballot for re-election by a federal district judge in spite of universal agreement that he didn’t meet the plain-language election filing requirements.
Judge Matthew Leitman ordered that Conyers be put back on the August ballot last week after the Michigan secretary of state had denied the congressman’s appeal earlier in the day.
The dispute stems from the failure of Conyers — who has been in Congress for almost 50 years — to submit enough petition signatures to qualify for the ballot under Michigan law. No one disputes that Conyers did not meet the legal requirements to be on the ballot, but Leitman ruled that “There is evidence that their failure to comply with the Registration Statute was the result of good faith mistakes and that they believed they were in compliance with the statute.” (more…)
We’ll continue to look for specific information from the meeting. In the interim here’s a brief video to show you the level of resident interest:

WASHINGTON (AP) – First lady Michelle Obama is striking back at House Republicans who are trying to weaken healthier school meal standards, saying any effort to roll back the guidelines is “unacceptable.”
The rules set by Congress and the administration over the last several years require more whole grains in the lunch line and set limits on sodium, sugar and fat.
The first lady met Tuesday with school nutrition officials who said the guidelines are working in their schools.
I had no idea. Thank goodness CNN is there to help us understand:
COSTELLO: That was Mrs. Obama back in 2010 when she signed the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act into law. Well now some members of Congress and the food industry want to roll back that initiative and loosen requirements to cut costs. Today the First Lady takes the unusual step of delivering White House remarks speaking out against that House measure and in another twist, a one-time ally of Mrs. Obama’s initiative is now a critic.
GOLETA, Calif. — The father of a young man gunned down Friday during the rampage in Santa Barbara said he is asking members of Congress to stop calling him to offer condolences but nothing more for the death of his only child, Christopher Michaels-Martinez.
“I don’t care about your sympathy. I don’t give a s— that you feel sorry for me,” Richard Martinez said during an extensive interview, his face flushed as tears rolled down his face. “Get to work and do something. I’ll tell the president the same thing if he calls me. Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”
Saying “we are all to blame” for the death of his 20-year-old son, Martinez urged the public join him in demanding “immediate action” from members of Congress and President Obama to curb gun violence by passing stricter gun-control laws. (more…)
