CH_ _CH  <– what’s missing?    “UR”

If all the raindrops where lemon drops and gum drops oh what a world it would be…. Hey, it’s Wisconsin – what do you expect. 
WISCONSIN – A Wisconsin high school is defying state law by removing “God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.
Instead of saying, “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” Madison East High School has students say, “One nation under peace, with liberty and justice for all,” according to RedState.
For years, atheists have railed over including God in the pledge, and the courts have consistently ruled against them. This time, a courageous sophomore, Samantha Murphy, told her family that her school ignored state law and did not recite the Pledge of Allegiance at all, RedState reported.
When her parents raised the issue with school Principal Mary Kelley and the School Board, school officials dithered for months before reluctantly agreeing to follow the law – but only to a point. (more…)

Lies, regardless of origin, are horrible.    However, when they are done to purposefully manipulate and create a narrative, lies can become worse.

Progressives should be *REALLY* careful with this story.    Progs -as a collective- (the various grievance check box groups) are being set up / used for the financial benefit of V. Stiviano and her attorneys.    {{{pass-the-popcorn}}}

Donald Sterling is a Democrat Fundraiser , and a democrat supporter/donor.  He’s a slimy bastard and has been for a long time, but the current accusation is constructed for financial benefit.
Sterling is the owner of the L.A Clippers his “former” girlfriend is V Stiviano a woman of dubious character.    She is, by race, Mexican and Black.   She is also being sued by Sterling Inc. for “embezzlement” of almost $2,000,000 ($1.8 million) from him.  Embezzlement is what they call it in Hollywood when you charge a Ferrari, two Bentley’s, and a $1.8 mil condo to drop your panties.

Donald Sterling Inc. also includes Mrs. Donald Sterling – D’oh….   Who is suing the “girlfriend” for return of family assets.   So, after Stiviano gets handed papers for the lawsuit she hires an attorney and tells Sterling she would “get him back“.
She’s set him up.
The “set up” is constructed around an oft argued personal issue they have/had historically between themselves.
Stiviano had often complained to Sterling that her friends didn’t like him -and consequently leery of her- because they thought her boyfriend, Sterling, was a prejudiced bigot, which he probably is – but that’s not the substance of the latest construct.
Against the backdrop of the prior conversations about her friends, and their racist opinion of her boyfriend within her social circle, she recorded a phone call. (more…)

(FrontPageMag)  A few years ago, Newsweek’s glossy cover asked “Is Your Baby Racist?” The baby looking back at supermarket shoppers, airline passengers waiting for their flight and patients in the dental office had blue eyes.
The labeling of racists as white has itself become a racial stereotype. And it’s not an accidental stereotype.
Behind the left’s support for affirmative action is the belief that white racism is the only kind of racism that exists. Black racism they insist is really called “reverse racism” and is a myth made up by white people.
It’s not that the left believes that affirmative action isn’t racist. It’s that it believes that there is no such thing as racism against white people.
Like the Knockout Game or white students who qualify on merit but can’t get into college because of racial diversity quotas; it’s an invalid category. A myth.
And if it’s a myth, then there’s nothing wrong with a little racial violence or a few racial preferences. (more…)

Today we are hearing how Republicans and Conservatives are either the party of racists or that they are racists in general, but history proves a different story. This rhetoric is being pushed by those on the left and is being used as a tool to divide people. The real history is no longer taught to our children and so many adults have fallen prey to this rhetoric without actually doing the research to see if it is actually true.
If you look though the history books that are presented to our children. If you listen to politicians and pundits. If you talk to your neighbors or friends. Most, would not even believe many facts of the lost history in the Civil Rights Movement. This is a travesty of truth, and the people that have been most afflicted by this have been the African American community for not really understanding the truth about the Democrat Party and how they have buried the truth about their past.
Were you aware that even under FDR’s “New Deal” program that was to benefit lower income segments of the population, African Americans were still segregated in Soup Lines and Bread Lines?

HatTip Sharon and Stella – We rose three weeks ago in support of Cliven Bundy; and despite the turmoil and toxicity created recently by a manipulative media we will remain so.
Why?  Simple.  Because we understand the larger context of what is actually taking place.  This is not about Cliven Bundy or racism any more than the land grab was about turtles or grazing fees.  The unification of a broad electorate, behind a commonality – is a risk.  It has always been thus.
Start by understanding this video:

In addition to the Frankfurt Fabian networks, and the conglomerates of institutionalized leftists, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly have also arrived to claim their pound of Bundy flesh, fall prey to the premise of the institutional left and insure the division.

It happened in February in Florida.
It happened again in March in Kansas City.
It happened again in April In Washington DC.
The PC Media just can’t bring themselves to write the actual name of the event.   It was officially called “African American Family Day” at the National Zoo; with free entrance from 10am -to- 4pm.

Wednesday, the Woodley Park community met with police and city leaders to discuss the shootings, safety, and the annual African-American Family Day at the zoo, which has become a place for youth to commit crimes in recent years

Given recent events, and considering how the institutional left claims a desire to want “that” racial conversation – yet factually do everything in their power to avoid actually having “that conversation” – lets look at how the event was described in the Politically Correct Media Empire as they were reporting on the DC Zoo violence.
Huffington Post:

Two men were shot Monday afternoon in the midst of a knot of people on Connecticut Avenue NW near the National Zoo, site of an annual Easter event that drew thousands of people over the course of the day.  (link)

Yes Alice, I’ll be right along !

Can you believe that our international diplomacy efforts are now being reduced to Twitter Hashtags ?

The world stands #UnitedforUkraine. Let’s hope that the #Kremlin & @mfa_russia will live by the promise of hashtag

Many people are pointing out how Sean Hannity has reacted to the Cliven Bundy comments.   Indeed, arguably – Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck have espoused two of the loudest and angriest responses to the comments from Cliven Bundy.
Or are they ?
Are they, Beck and Hannity, responding to the Bundy comments, or are they responding to the New York Times and Media Matters presentation of the Bundy comments ?    I think the latter, but I digress.   Check it out yourself:

There is an intellectual dishonesty at play here.   But why ?   Perhaps because Hannity likes to emotionally swing for the fence on every at bat ?   Perhaps because Hannitys’ show has been suffering in the ratings  ?   Perhaps because he was moved to a new TV hour and a joyful Megyn Kelly is simply CRUSHING HIM (and all others BTW) ?
Or, perhaps, at least from my own perspective, it’s because the constant stress in Hannity’s presentation is like watching Gary Busey eat an ice-cream cone amid a McDonalds playball pit.    Nerve wracking, stressful, stupidly sweaty, unable to sit still, constantly shouting – Busey always comes off like he’s peaking amid a serious dose of amphetamines.   I can’t watch his acting either because I always feel stressed out while sitting on the couch.
Perhaps Hannity is caught in the quicksand of a downward personality where the more you thrash the quicker you sink.   Shouting doesn’t help. (more…)

Her action is nothing dissimilar to President Obama who took control of census data in order to manipulate employment and healthcare statistics.   Or, in Miami-Dade how the School Superintendent manipulated criminal reports to avoid uncomfortable student statistics about unlawful behavior.    We are in a time where manipulating data is the chosen method to avoid reality of progressive policy.   In this case of Veteran’s affairs however, the manipulation killed people….. 

ARIZONA – Veterans Affairs official accused of keeping double books to hide the fact that dozens of veterans died awaiting care previously ran a Washington state VA facility that allegedly fudged suicide numbers, FoxNews.com has learned.
Sharon Helman, director of the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system, is accused with other management officials of keeping a fake waiting list that made it appear sick veterans were being treated in a timely manner — while hiding the real list that showed up to 1,600 sick veterans were waiting months to see a physician. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, said investigators have evidence that two sets of records were kept by the facility to conceal the lengthy delays in care.

When Libya erupted in *rebel* turmoil we were following the details closely because we quickly identified the ideology of the “rebels” as al-Qaeda.   
Over time the entire civil war became a conflict of Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil (the first defector and self proclaimed head of the rebels) vs. Kaddaffi. 

If it were not for Samantha Power, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton Kaddaffi would have won the internal war.    The misguided premise of R2P (Responsibility to Protect), a specific Samantha Power construct, is the excuse that was eventually used by the Obama administration to enter the foray and pick a side.  They chose the al-Qaeda “rebels”.
This commission report essentially encapsulates what we have previously outlined.   However, for some reason they totally avoid the mention of Justice Abdel Jalil.
BENGHAZI GATE – The Citizens Commission on Benghazi, a self-selected group of former top military officers, CIA insiders and think-tankers, declared Tuesday in Washington that a seven-month review of the deadly 2012 terrorist attack has determined that it could have been prevented – if the U.S. hadn’t been helping to arm al-Qaeda militias throughout Libya a year earlier.
‘The United States switched sides in the war on terror with what we did in Libya, knowingly facilitating the provision of weapons to known al-Qaeda militias and figures,’ Clare Lopez, a member of the commission and a former CIA officer, told MailOnline.
She blamed the Obama administration for failing to stop half of a $1 billion United Arab Emirates arms shipment from reaching al-Qaeda-linked militants. (more…)
