There’s a print story about it HERE because it caught someone’s attention.
But here’s the actual video from this morning – Forward the video to @1:27:50 as Rep Duncan asks the question:
Duncan’s question: “Do you think Boko Haram is targeting Christians in the attacks“?
State Dept Dr. Sewell: “I wish there were such discrimination in Boko Haram attacks“.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The announcement comes after Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) met for an hour Tuesday to negotiate over the probe .
Appointing five members to the panel is an evolution for Pelosi, who initially didn’t want to dignify the committee by naming any Democrats to sit on it. Her perspective changed, however, after fellow Democrats said she should appoint at least a few Democrats to counter claims by Republicans. Some Democrats also felt the party should be represented if Republicans subpoena high-level Obama administration officials, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The committee, which the House agreed to create earlier this month in a party-line vote, has seven seats for Republicans and five for Democrats. (read more)
Borrowing context from the writing of Rev Billy Graham there is something to be learned from the direct confrontation of evil. The primary video of Democrat Rep. Alvin Holmes needs a backdrop reference.
(pg 64 Satan on the Attack) […] Revelation 12:10 speaks of Satan as “the accuser of the brethren”, and Ephesians 6:12 describes the “rulers, the authorities, the powers of the dark world, the spiritual forces of evil present in the heavenly realms.”
Although the warfare as described references the heavens, it is an obvious principle the primary endeavor is to destroy faith in the world.
From Isaiah 13:12-14 the objectives are outlined – though we can assign a collective disposition to current influence: “[they] work to bring the downfall of nations, to corrupt moral standards, and to waste human resources. Corrupting society’s order, [they] want to prevent the attainment of order and to shake the kingdoms of our God”.
Evil, and in a larger sense the influences comfortable with immoral manifest, has great power. They are cunning and clever, having set themselves against God and His people: (more…)
This undercover video is brilliant. James O’Keefe creates a sting where he is willing to finance an anti-fracking movie for Hollywood environmentalists. His approach is to use a fictitious character named Muhammad who will only finance the film under the agreement the film’s intent must be to undermine U.S. energy independence.
The Hollywood crew consisting of Ed Begley Jr, Mariel Hemingway, and producers Josh and Rebecca Tickell are totally willing to disguise the source of the funding, and they each agree to conspire to undermine the U.S. Energy Economy.
A Progressive Middle School in Rhode Island cancelled an Honors Night event to celebrate academic achievement because it rewards success, which they say is too “exclusive“.
The public calls them out – they reverse course, or well, try too, and fail miserably. Here’s the announcement and the walk back. You decide:
Dear Cole Families,
We would like to take this opportunity to notify you of a change to our annual spring events at Cole [Middle School]. Honors Night has been a longstanding tradition in our community — one that was created in the Cole Junior High School era.
Members of the school community have long expressed concerns related to the exclusive nature of Honors Night. Therefore, we have made the collective decision to recognize students during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation. This will afford us the opportunity to celebrate the individual and collective successes of all students and their effort, progress, and excellence.
Additionally, our Cole varsity athletes will receive their medals and trophies at an after school ceremony.
Best wishes for a nice weekend.
Kindest regards,
Alexis Meyer and Dan Seger (Principal and Vice-Principal)
OK, you getting this? Because it’s too “exclusive” to honor the top performers they cancelled the event in favor of an ‘everybody equal’ ceremony.
What do they do next ? They tell everyone they didn’t communicate the change well enough. GASLIGHTING ALERT !
“Wedges are nice, but I prefer the modern spring look of current gladiator sandals. Well, as long as the buckles don’t contrast too much in the mid ankle“. No, no, no Clay… it’s veterans’ “scandals”, s-c-a-n-d-a-l-s… Not “sandals”…
When asked about the VA scandal Democrat Clay Aiken says he was not “privy to that stuff“.
“That stuff” being the open and public congressional hearing last week… I mean it’s not like Fort Bragg is in your representative district or anything. No, wha… wait…
Eight Charleston, South Carolina, High School Students arrested. The adult suspects ranged from 17 to 19 years old.

Here’s a local print media recap
…”Codified segregation of public schools has been barred since Brown. But in too many of our school districts, significant divisions persist and segregation has reoccurred – including zero-tolerance school discipline practices that, while well-intentioned and aimed at promoting school safety, affect black males at a rate three times higher than their white peers”…
– Attorney General Eric Holder, May 17th 2014 [Graduation Commencement Address Morgan University]
Question for PROGS: Then why grade ?
Within your ideological stupidity – If there is no differentiation between the assimilated drone mind that must be just as good as, but no better than, the standard deviation, then why even grade the kids? Might as well just pass out collective distribution diplomas.
CONNECTICUT – Middle School Cancels Honors Night – The notice was sent to parents over the weekend in an e-mail signed by School Principal Alexis Meyer and Assistant Principal Dan Seger.
Citing concerns about the “exclusive nature” of the annual honors night at Archie R. Cole Middle School, school officials have decided to scrap the tradition.
Instead, students who would normally be recognized at the annual spring tradition will be honored during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation. (more…)
PENNSYLVANIA – Few workers would turn down a raise. Union members, however, can have raises turned down on their behalf.
Employees of a Pennsylvania grocery store learned this the hard way.
Managers at the Giant Eagle grocery in Edinboro, Pa., wanted to reward hard work. So they boosted the wages of two dozen high-performing employees above their union rates. But United Food and Commercial Workers Local 23 was not pleased. The union argued the pay increases violated their contract, took Giant Eagle to court and forced it to rescind the raises.
Why did Local 23 oppose higher pay for its members? Because it upended their seniority system, allowing junior employees to make more those with more seniority. Local 23 wanted uniform pay scales—even if that meant cutting some of their members’ wages. (more…)
(Via Wall Street Journal) The news website Tout Haiti reported last month that two prominent lawyers have petitioned Haiti’s Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes, demanding an audit of Bill Clinton’s management of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC).
There are powerful interests that won’t want to see the petition succeed and it may go nowhere. But the sentiment it expresses is spreading fast. In the immortal words of Charlie Brown, Mr. Clinton has gone from hero to goat.
Four years after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake toppled the capital city of Port-au-Prince and heavily damaged other parts of the country, hundreds of millions of dollars from the State Department’s U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), allocated to the IHRC, are gone. Hundreds of millions more to the IHRC from international donors have also been spent. Left behind is a mishmash of low quality, poorly thought-out development experiments and half-finished projects.
