Shortly after a congressional hearing yesterday morning, True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Elijah Cummings. The complaint alleges the Congressman intimidated her and and her group. The Congressman had done some cable news shows alleging incorrect facts about True the Vote. In the hearing yesterday, Cummings accused True the Vote of racism saying that they were trying to suppress the vote.

“Franky, Megyn, the thought of having to sit before my accuser and be silent in the face of what he did was unconscionable. He [Cummings] filed over a period of months in 2012, he filed three letters that he sent to me asserting that he was opening an investigation. He sent this on House Oversight and Government Reform letterhead.”

This is funny on many levels, and this is not a spoof – which makes it even funnier…

CONCORD, CA — Officials at a Northern California private school are apologizing after a lunch menu option to celebrate Black History Month angered some parents and students.

Students at Carondelet High School for Girls in Concord wanted to come up with ways to observe the occasion during a lunchtime celebration Friday. But when the school announced a menu of fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon, other students and parents became offended. (more…)

It’s obvious what is happening within the Texas gubernatorial race and Democrat candidate Wendy Davis.     Sunlight upon the “real” life story of Ms. Davis has shown her life story narrative was foundationally false, so now she is obfuscating and trying to find niche issues which will afford her some electoral support.

The humorous aspect is all the new platform adjustments, the politically convenient changes, are diametrically opposite from the party she is a member of.  She is floundering aimlessly, and trying to position herself in favor of the voters. 

(Via The Hill) How desperate has Wendy Davis become? This desperate:

Rising Democratic star and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has joined her top Republican rival in supporting a proposed “open carry” law. It would allow people with concealed handgun licenses to wear a pistol on their hip, in full view, while in public.

Davis has said she supports expanding gun rights in Texas. But in a statement to The Associated Press, she said that includes open-carry — a position that puts her at odds with her own party but could keep her from alienating gun rights advocates in a deeply conservative state where the Second Amendment is sacrosanct.

This is remarkable, the latest in a string of rightward moves that must have the more honest among Davis’s backers wondering why they’re bothering. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – The Democratic Party’s biggest Super PAC, recently retooled as an early pro-Hillary Clinton effort, will sit out the midterm elections this year.

A spokesman with the group, Priorities USA Action, confirmed to BuzzFeed on Wednesday night that it would not be involved in House or Senate campaigns.

“House Majority PAC and Majority PAC are doing everything right and making a real difference. We fully support their efforts,” said the spokesman, Peter Kauffmann, referring to the main groups supporting Democratic congressional candidates. (more…)

Janet Mock was born with a penis and testes but demands any historical reference to her personage must never be referenced as “a boy” or “male”.   Her primary claim is that she has been a woman since birth and she just corrected the anatomical error, via organ removal/reassignment, at a later date.    She wrote a book.   Apparently, as Piers Morgan was rue to find out, you can never say a transgendered person’s gender was their former anatomical definition.

*Note to self* —>  According to the community, which constructs the rule book we are now demanded to follow, “Sex” is what your birth anatomy assigns you to be.   “Gender” is actually what your real sexual identity is.   If you conflate the terminology you have mortally wounded a transgendered person.   *w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r* 

(Via Mediaite) Last night, Piers Morgan spoke to transgender advocate Janet Mock and some of the words he used and chyrons the show used ended up earning Morgan quite the social media blowback, and Morgan took some serious umbrage at all the people tweeting at him about the segment. He brought on Mock tonight to confront her about the “hostile tweets” she and others sent his way.

Morgan repeatedly bemoaned how much he’s been attacked, saying he “spent an infuriating 24 hours,” he was “viciously abused,” cried “I’m being vilified!”, and asked why someone like him, who openly supports LGBT rights and equality, has gotten such “a load of abuse.” (more…)

If you know even a cursory history of this creepy man – you know he has no concept of decency or boundaries in relationships.

At 43 he was dating a 17-year-old and began a sexual relationship.    In his fifties he became attracted to his 13-year-old step-daughter.   When the step-daughter turned 19 he dumped mom and married his step-daughter.   This alone is NOT ok.   Period.  It’s more than a little damned creepy, it’s perverse.

Now, as time has moved along, the other little girl (step-daughter #2) says when she was seven, creepy step-daddy was molesting her.

Yeah, sorry but I believe Dylan Farrow – Not the creepy touchy “daddy wants to marry me, mommy” guy.

*Note* Except for a legal marriage contract – Woody Allen has fathered his own grandchildren.  Think about it.

There is not an organism alive on the planet which, given all possible conveniences, will not consume every single resource immediately in front of it.  Period.

Put a bacteria into a petri dish of broth and the bacteria will continue to grow until every ounce of energetic expansion resource (broth) is consumed.

Put an endless bowl of consistently good tasting food/treats on the floor and every cat and/or dog in your home will grow fat.

Put an endless supply of continually fresh and great tasting food in front of a person and they will grow fat.

It is the inherent state of unbridled biology, within every single organism, that all resources will be consumed unless they have cognitive and spiritual connection to virtue. (more…)

(Via Breitbart) Miley Cyrus opens up–once more–about her life in the new edition of W magazine. The former teen star says men watch too much porn, women believe romantic movies are reality and she’s not ready for a new romance.

She is more than ready for one activity, though, something now legal to do in Colorado.

“I love weed,” she said. “I just love getting stoned.”

Cyrus smoked what appeared to be a joint during an appearance at a European music awards show late last year.

Benghazi:

Why was Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi Libya on 9/11/12 ?
Who was the CIA Station Chief in Benghazi Libya on 9/11/12 ?
Where are the victims of the terror attack ? Why have we not heard from them ?
What did Obama do after 7:18pm (DC time) on 9/11/12 ?
Why did the Turkish delegation not see any issues at 9:30 pm when leaving the compound ?
… or did they ?

IRS:

If it’s not a scandal then why is there a Justice Dept investigation?
If it’s not a scandal then why did IRS head Lois Lerner plead the fifth ?
If it was not even remotely a scandal then why did Obama call an emergency presser to announce his outrage ?

Good video below from Senator James Inhofe (Oklahoma) on Benghazi.

Recent reports are indicating CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell was the person inside the intelligence community who was working to shield Hillary Clinton.  Mr. Morell  spent two years as the head of the CIA’s main analytic arm, the Directorate of Intelligence 2011 and 2012.

Morell became the interim CIA Director when General Petraeus stepped down due to his personal issues and convenient for the administration extra-marital affair.   [ Eric Holder’s FBI was holding all the investigative information over the affair – *wink* *wink*]

A September 15th, 2012 email from the Benghazi CIA Chief of Section, soon to hit the media cycle, essentially states they had been trying for days to politely say to the top of the CIA -political side- Benghazi was a direct terrorist attack and could not understand why the political side (career Morell manipulating story to non-career Petraeus) was spinning another story.

In the direct language contained within the memo the Station Chief underlined it was NOT a spontaneous protest turned violent. (more…)
