Just watch Al Sharpton’s twitter feed this weekend for conformational footprints, after all – Sunday is November 16th and Monday November 17. Right on schedule….
(Via The Root) According to sources familiar with a Wednesday conference call that included key elected officials, the St. Louis County grand jury’s decision in the case of Ferguson, Mo., police Officer Darren Wilson is expected to be announced publicly Monday. And sources close to the investigation state that they are not expecting Wilson to be indicted.
A number of key issues in the matter were yet to be fully resolved. Among them, the duty status of Wilson—who shot and killed teenager Michael Brown Aug. 9 after confronting him and another pedestrian for jaywalking—was an issue discussed on the conference call, along with that of Ferguson police Chief Thomas Jackson. News swirled recently that Jackson would resign after the controversy surrounding Brown’s death, but his future with the Ferguson Police Department has yet be confirmed. (more…)
During a June 13th 2012 PBS interview with Frontline Jonathan Gruber explains with great and specific detail how the entire construct of ObamaCare came into being. Full Video and Transcript HERE (while it lasts).
Within the interview he is asked questions about meeting with President Obama. Gruber discusses meeting with Obama in 2006 as a senator, and then meeting with Obama in the oval office as President when they brainstormed the “Cadillac Tax” and came up with the way to fool people about taxing for healthcare. There’s no longer a way the White House can try to distance themselves from Gruber.
Here’s an excerpt of the transcript. The interviewer is PBS producer Michael Kirk:
So were you ever in a room with Obama?
Yes, twice.
Tell me. Take me there. (more…)
Ultimately research shows the IRS Targeting Scandal is a series of magnitudes greater than all other Obama scandals. The Federal Department of Justice weaponizing the IRS to go after political enemies within the U.S. electorate is far more serious than any other controversy.
Cleta Mitchell updates on hopes and concerns moving forward:
Politico has an article of DC’s perspective on Ferguson events. If you’ve followed along you’ll spot the buried lead inside the article itself. As several places indicated last week on the day after the election Obama met with Civil Rights activists. However, no-one is again tracking the meetings against the hindsight of new information.
President Obama met with civil rights activists on Wednesday morning after the election for two key issues: #1) Ferguson and the potential political fallout; #2) The grievance community approvals for the new AG nominee Loretta Lynch. Everything Obama does -domestically- is first, and foremost, poured through the filter of race.
Leaving the White House after a good meeting with President Obama and 7 civil rights leaders. Very solid meeting.

The Ferguson narrative was created by the White House -Mid August- for political benefit surrounding the 2014 election. Now they need an exit strategy where they can frame plausible deniability for any consequences which will come as a direct result of their action. Violence could be an outcome of the toxic blend they have created. (more…)
Dr. Baden is expected to speak to the Saint Louis Grand Jury today about his efforts on behalf of the Mike Brown family to conduct and independent autopsy. With that in mind it’s worthwhile to showcase how ridiculous this entire episode is, and why it’s taking place.
We suspected from the outset the Parks and Crump version of the Mike Brown autopsy was likely just a propaganda ploy to sell their narrative. We knew New York Times reporter Frances Robles was sympathetic to their scheme because she was similarly predisposed in 2012 with the Trayvon Martin narrative.
In 2012 Robles worked for the Miami Herald. Indeed, based on history, we expected to see blurred lines of journalistic ethics.
As you can see above, Frances Robles arrived in Ferguson Missouri the morning of the autopsy Aug 17th. Perhaps she and forensic pathologist Dr. Baden flew in together. After all, they departed the same city, from the same airport, on the same date, with the same destination in mind. (more…)

*Sidenote* Charles Krauthammer just took Juan Williams to the woodshed on this issue, using an analogy around Capital Gains Taxation and the IRS. EPIC – Juan was speechless… I’ll look for video.
FOX EXCLUSIVE: President Obama is planning to unveil a 10-part plan for overhauling U.S. immigration policy via executive action — including suspending deportations for millions — as early as next Friday, a source close to the White House told Fox News.
The president’s plans were contained in a draft proposal from a U.S. government agency. The source said the plan could be announced as early as Nov. 21, though the date might slip a few days pending final White House approval. (more…)
250 FBI interviews found no basis for any standing on a “civil rights” claim. But the DOJ needs to appease the BGI in selling their racial narrative…. Almost 3 years later…
(Via Orlando Sentinel) Once George Zimmerman’s vocal defender, Frank Taaffe said Wednesday that he wanted to “make amends” with the family of Trayvon Martin by testifying for a federal grand jury convened in downtown Orlando.
The grand jury is believed to be hearing testimony in the civil rights probe into 17-year-old Trayvon’s shooting in Sanford. Zimmerman said he shot the teen in self-defense. He was found not guilty of second-degree murder at trial last year.
Taaffe, a former Zimmerman neighbor, was subpoenaed by a U.S. Department of Justice attorney to testify Wednesday. (more…)
Stage Five – The “taxpayers” realize their previous healthcare premium was considered a pre-tax deduction. (Progressives call these “tax expenditures”).
Listen to the embedded video at 27:00 to understand how the progressive Obamacare architects view “tax deductible” healthcare premiums as “tax expenditures” and how they have structured the system to reflect what comes next. This is how employer provided healthcare premium payments are now going to be considered income.
[Forward video to @27:00]:
The employer paid premium, and the subsidy provided to assist in Obamacare premium coverage, are both considered a part of taxable earnings, “wage income”.
