I blog more regularly at my own place where plain thoughts are delivered roughly. My about page gives you more on who I am.
Angela Davis calls Obama a Black Radical
And is immediately pounced upon: The “delusional effect” that swept Black America with the advent of the First Black President has warped and weakened the mental powers of some of our most revered icons – and it has been painful to behold. Earlier this month, Angela Davis diminished herself as a scholar and thinker in [...]
NBC Producer fired over editing of Zimmerman’s words, not many covering it yet
I’m seeing it in the blogosphere but the mainstream media thus far is largely ignoring it. I wonder why? The New York Times decides to report it on their Media Decoder blog. It ought to be on their front page: NBC News has fired a producer who was involved in the production of a misleading [...]
“Federal appeals court apparently is calling the president’s bluff”
I think it might be more accurate to state that the court is challenging the president’s ignorance: In the escalating battle between the administration and the judiciary, a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president’s bluff — ordering the Justice Department to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have [...]
“Widespread system failure here — and a deplorable absence of truth”
Deacon Greg, a newsman prior to wearing the collar, is more than a tad upset, and rightly so, about NBC’s video editing scandal: Now, in my experience, there are a few logical explanations: The audio quality may have been poor, so they cut parts that were hard to understand. They needed to trim out the [...]
Common sense on the MSNBC 911 recording voice experts
William Jacobsen: It’s not George Zimmerman crying for help on 911 recording, 2 experts say, Orlando Sentinel. Actually, the biometric expert says it’s only a 40% match to Zimmerman, which raises the question why it would be that much if it’s not him, and the other expert does a non-technical voice analysis. But, if it’s true [...]
MSNBC’s Touré – a study in complete buffoonery, bigotry and brainlessness
This MSNBC reporter (who frankly, up until now, I’d never heard of) best exemplifies the bigotry, the ignorance, the presumption, the hatred for justice based on truth running so rampant in this country today. Check this out and help me understand where I’m wrong on this… It’s pure race-baiting, race-pimping, presumption filled hatred being manifested [...]
“The level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply”
Peggy Noonan is calling Obama a not so smooth operator: Something’s happening to President Obama’s relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, “Nothing new there,” but actually I think there is. I’m referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther [...]
The most sensible thing I’ve read yet on the Trayvon Martin shooting
The more we’re reading and hearing about this entire episode, the clearer it’s becoming that things are far from clear. Into the fray steps Mark Shea: Suppose we have an investigation, not in the media and lasting only a minute or two before a verdict is arrived at, but instead use modern police methods for [...]
“The main problem for young black men is not violent white men chasing them. It is black on black violence.”
I watched a local news report yesterday focused on a rally in support of Trayvon Martin. The reporter was interviewing a mother who was near hysterical in voicing her fear that her teenage son might also be set upon by an assailant because her son is black and because her son wears a hoodie. The [...]
Mob rule anyone?
President Obama interjected himself into the Trayvon Martin tragedy when he stated at a press conference Friday, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon“. Many took the comment to be a reaction to criticism he’d been silent for too long on what had taken place in Florida. I’d like to see him [...]
“That conclusion — drilling makes no difference — is meant to give cover”
Charles Lehardy is reacting to yet another mainstream media piece shilling for the Obama administration: A new study by the Associated Press finds that during the past 36 years, US oil production increases did not correlate to lower US gasoline prices at the pump. When we produced more oil, the prices we paid for a [...]
“Justice for Trayvon Martin must be rooted in truth”
The Anchoress is making sense where too many are making hay: … my heart cannot help but go out to the family of Trayvon Martin, and my prayer is that this case gets a thorough and honest investigation which will result in justice being done. Much is being assumed of this case, when not everything is yet known, and [...]
Why are the deaths of these black men being ignored?(UPDATED)
While the death of Trayvon Martin, as tragic as it might be, is grabbing every headline imaginable? George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, in an altercation in Sanford, Florida. Police ruled it self-defense under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law. The federal government is investigating. Zimmerman is white, Martin was black. The One Million [...]
State Senator cares as much about men’s reproductive health as she does women’s
Meaning she cares very little: Before getting a prescription for Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs, men would have to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency, if state Sen. Nina Turner has her way. The Cleveland Democrat introduced Senate Bill [...]
“Is it any wonder his agenda is so anti-American?”
An editorial at Investors Business Daily analyzes the Breitbart vetting Obama video and its meaning: Obama’s days at Harvard have been shrouded in secrecy. But a new video lifts a corner of the veil, revealing his creepy embrace of the “Jeremiah Wright of academia.” It turns out his favorite law professor was the late Derrick [...]
“The assault has become so nakedly partisan and opportunistic”
Obama could help end this… but something tells me that’s not on his mind… instead, he and his ideological cohorts think they smell blood in the water: Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is being targeted by multiple death threats after President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party ignored his apology for controversial remarks and [...]
“The administration pretends that this is about contraception. It is not.”
Americans United for Life have put out a video that needs to go viral: Do your part to help spread that one around. And go by The Anchoress’ place and thank her for the find. She’s got a thing or two to say about it all: Let’s keep making believe that entities besides Democrats, Democrat [...]
Feminist theologian: “It is not possible to assert with any degree of certainty that Jesus was male as we now define maleness”
And given recent events and statements by others fighting on behalf of women, anyone who would disagree with this theologian is likely a misogynist: Dr Susannah Cornwall claimed that it is “simply a best guess” that Jesus was male. Her comments, which are bound to provoke fury in some quarters, were published in response to [...]
NOW President: Bishops assault on women’s rights will kill women
And the Bishops are teaming with Republicans to plan these eventual murders: The collusion of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has led to an open declaration of war on the women of this country. The bishops have long sought to enshrine into law those policies of the Catholic [...]
Bomb squad called to Rush Limbaugh residence (UPDATED)
Details sketchy at this point: The bomb squad has been called to the Palm Beach home of Rush Limbaugh. Officials say security found a suspicious package and called for assistance. Likely related to this from earlier in the day: Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, already under fire from Democrats over his language in discussing [...]
“Of course, there is a scandal here. A terrible policy scandal.”
Michael Leeden is talking Iran… and more specifically, Obama’s failed Iranian policies: Of course, there is a scandal here. A terrible policy scandal. The Obama administration didn’t do — and still hasn’t done — anything to help the opposition in Iran. The Green Movement’s top leaders have been held in solitary confinement for more than [...]
“Recent prosecutions seem to have everything to do with administrative secrecy and very little to do with national security”
The New York Times, yes, that New York Times, with what some might call a hit piece on Obama. Seriously: The Obama administration, which promised during its transition to power that it would enhance “whistle-blower laws to protect federal workers,” has been more prone than any administration in history in trying to silence and [...]
“Wisdom is the rarest quality of all”
Dr. Helen Smith has found nuggets in Thomas Sowell’s Intellectuals and Society: Sowell points out that intellect is not wisdom; there can be “unwise intellect:” Brilliance–even genius–is no guarantee that consequential factors have not been left out or misconceived. Intelligence minus judgment equals intellect. Wisdom is the rarest quality of all–the ability to combine intellect, [...]
