The Hillary-ous #BlockSalon Tweet Storm

Posted on April 28, 2016 by Liberty Speaks

Something epic has happened this evening.  Hillary Clinton supporters are going insane on Twitter calling for a #BlockSalon tweet storm.

Why you may ask? Well, because Salon.com published an article titled “Dear FBI, the Democratic Party’s Future Rests Upon Your Investigation of Clinton’s Emails”.

Writer H.A. Goodman, (also a Sanders supporter) in an open letter to FBI Director James Comey, threw down his thoughts on how Clinton supporters believe an indictment will never happen, how they really feel towards the FBI, and that her supporters see it as not a big deal.

Here’s a snippet:

Since your investigation has taken so long, many people believe that nothing has been found, or simply that Clinton is too powerful to face any serious repercussions. Any attempt to warn people that Hillary Clinton could realistically face criminal indictments is either viewed as a Republican scare tactic, or lunacy. Even many Bernie Sanders supporters, a group that would benefit the most from the FBI recommending indictment of Clinton, feel it’s either disloyal, or pointless to bring up the email controversy. The massive group think within the Democratic Party, fostered by years of circumventing political scandals, has literally altered the mindset of normally rational individuals, and voters.

Goodman, goes on to explain that if it was anyone else other than Clinton being investigated things would be much different.

At this point, Bernie Sanders is the only Democratic candidate not linked to an FBI investigation, yet Clinton is leading in delegates. This dynamic would never take place in any other leading democracy. If David Cameron had been investigated by MI5, rest assured the British would never have allowed him to become leader of his political party, and eventually Prime Minister.

(Well, one point to mention, Bernie Sanders is the only other Democratic candidate, but that’s a minor detail, I digress).  Here’s another little nugget:

Whether or not you recommend indictment, and whether or not you’ve found criminal wrongdoing pertaining to Clinton, should be known before the end of the Democratic Primary. Democrats can’t nominate a person who could potentially face indictment on November 7, 2016.

Goodman goes on to say:

Hopefully, this will take place before June, so that Bernie Sanders has a chance to become nominee, and so that Democrats don’t attempt to further a person linked to criminal indictments into the White House.

I read the entire article and only one part of it I disagree with for obvious reasons. I am not keen on the “Bern” any more than I am on Hillary.

I am, however, impressed that someone from a fairly liberal site is asking — no pleading –for the FBI, to… wait for it… do their job and if you’re going to indict, please do it soon.

The backlash against Salon was immediate.

The calling for mass blockage on Twitter, comments like “low info news source”, the paper is crap, their advertisers should be blocked, yada, yada, yada. You would think the mob was going after a Conservative site.

I say kudos Mr. Goodman, nothing like a little bit of speaking truth to power.

Someone finally dared to call out the sycophantic supporters of Hillary.  The ones who believe that Queen Clinton will never fall; the ones who have been turning their collective noses up when the word indictment is even mentioned.

However, what made me laugh my proverbial ass off and actually proved Goodman’s point about team “H” not really caring or paying attention to the email investigation, was that the majority of the #BlockSalon mob obviously didn’t read the article.

If they had, they would have seen the last line after H. A. Goodman’s sincere formal ending of the letter, which stated:

As I said, epic.

Judge Merrick Garland: UBL Images and Benghazi Video Excuse

Posted on April 26, 2016 by Liberty Speaks

Since President Obama still has a “laundry list” of legacy issues for the remainder of his term, we are compiling our own laundry list of information on SCOTUS nominee Judge Merrick Garland of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

We have created a Laundry list of our own on Judge Garland:

Continue reading Judge Merrick Garland: The Laundry List.

UPDATE:

Judicial Watch, using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), petitioned the US Department of Defense to release postmortem images of Usama Bin Laden after being killed by our US SEAL Team 6.

Ultimately, after the DOD and Judicial Watch went to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in January of 2013, it was decided the photos would not be released to the public.

The reasoning for not releasing the “death” photos was they could create recruiting propaganda to be used by Al Qaeda, inflame Muslims around the world causing further tension and possible violence to our Military and risk our national security.

Judge Merrick Garland was on that panel.

He made the claim that releasing the images “could result in death, not just release of secret information, but death,” (from the transcript of the January 10. 2013 panel)

“And we do know of examples where in this country we would think that the release of certain things would not have lead to this, and yet there were, not very long ago a video was released that did lead to death of an American ambassador, of other people, of riots in other cities, when the Government tells us that this is likely to lead to death isn’t that even more, something we should defer to even more than when they say well, this is going to lead to, you know, the release of some secret information?”

Wait..What???

These statements from Garland were made months after it was proven that the Benghazi attack WAS NOT the result of a video, but a planned and coordinated one.

Merrick Garland appeared to mimic a narrative coming out of the White house and Hillary Clinton’s State Department that was patently false.

The question must be asked why Judge Garland Merrick would invoke this failed narrative that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton kept pushing?

Of Course There Were Arrests, That’s How Moral Monday Rolls.

Posted on April 26, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

Yesterday there was a rally in support of HB 2 and a series of Moral Monday orchestrated protests, which of course ended up in arrests because that’s how Moral Monday rolls.

The Moral Monday orchestrated ‘volunteering’ to be arrested for a pre-planned civil disobedience event really and truly is getting old. Like a toddler throwing themselves on the ground screaming for attention.

Moral Monday called it a “sit-in”. The first round didn’t go as planned though:

Funnily enough, thousands of HB 2 supporters packed the Halifax Mall, yet no arrests:

Supporters of HB 2 arrested: 0
Opponents of HB 2 arrested: 45

News and Observer said it was 54. I only found 45.

Wake Mugshots was particularly helpful in identifying said arrestees.

Rev. Barber wasn’t arrested, he sent in his hand selected peons in to do that for him. One arrestee in particular does stand out —  Mara Keisling.

HE is a male, who identifies as a transgender female. HE is also the Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality and the author of the theatrical, Captain Literal style letter to NC legislators.  Note HIS address given at the time of arrest is in Washington, D.C., not North Carolina.

Also note, she’s quite proud of breaking the law — in the Governor’s offices:

It wasn’t the first time Keisling participated in an act of civil disobedience that day. On her Facebook page, Keisling posted a photo indicating she used the women’s public restroom in the governor’s office, which she says was in violation of House Bill 2. According to a report in Buzzfeed, Keisling informed law enforcement officials she had used the facility against the law, but they declined to act action against her. – The Washington Blade

They declined to take action?

Is Keisling saying HE made an announcement to the room daring anyone there to arrest HIM?  Doubtful – in fact the Buzzfeed report pretty much confirms that’s a bunch of crap. Like HIS idiotic letter, this claim is also just a stunt.

Back to the arrests.
The charges were as follows for the majority:

  • 120-32.1(B) VIOLATING LEGISLATIVE BUILDING RULES
  • 143-138 VIOLATION OF FIRE CODE

One of the arrestee, James Weatherly Neeal, was charged with resisting a public officer.

From The Files Of Captain Literal

Posted on April 25, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

The email below was forwarded to me anonymously.

Check out the purposefully ‘Captain Literal’ interpretation of HB2 by National Center for Transgender Equality. I think they were trying to be sarcastically ironic… or something.

What amazingly useful idiots. We should thank them for showing us just how high over the shark groups like this are willing to go to force their agenda on a state or nation.

Subject: Legislators and Staff Must Show Birth Certificates

National Center for Transgender Equality

Washington, DC 20036

April 20, 2016

Dear Representative or Senator,

I am writing to remind you that, as of March 23, you and your staff are required to carry official copies of your birth certificates when using any restroom facilities in the State Legislative Building. As you know, last month the General Assembly passed HB 2, which mandates that restroom use in state and local government buildings be restricted to people who can demonstrate that they are using the restroom in accordance with the sex marked on their birth certificate.

As you know, a cornerstone of American civil society is that laws—even poorly thought-out laws—must be enforced uniformly. In order to enforce this law, law enforcement or security officers or building staff would need to ask every individual for their birth certificate. It would be unconstitutional and unfair for them to rely on stereotypes and single out transgender people for different treatment. We therefore expect that HB 2 will be enforced with legislators and staff the same way it will be enforced with North Carolinians coming to Raleigh to speak with you, including North Carolinians who are or perceived to be transgender. Uniformity of enforcement is going to be particularly critical on April 25, when a large number of transgender people will be at the State Capitol Building to speak to legislators and attend a variety of events.

We have sent a letter to the Capitol State Police seeking reassurance that the law will be enforced uniformly in accordance with their constitutional obligations. We trust that, as a legislator, that is what you would want as well. We plan to post legal observers throughout the Legislative Building to monitor the enforcement of the law and ensure that everyone is treated equally, regardless of actual or perceived transgender status.

Durham Public Schools To Discuss Adding “Gender Identity” At April 28 Meeting

Posted on April 25, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

 

On April 14th, I wrote about Durham Public Schools intending to add “gender identity” to the district’s policies in their upcoming meeting on April 28th.

The DPS Board meetings are held in the central office in Downtown Durham, 3rd Floor. The physical address is 511 Cleveland St., Durham. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. and a sign up to speak will be available.

More details have emerged in the posted Durham School Board of Education Meeting agenda. See pages 29-32.

The addition is being made to policy 4000 in conjunction with the district’s anti-bullying policy.

The changes also include “immigration status”, which possibly may be referring to discriminating against students who might be in the country illegally.  [Read:  ICE agents arrest Riverside High student for possible deportation]

Here is the text from the agenda:

Policy 4000 EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS

There shall be equal educational opportunity for all students. regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, creed, disability, or national origin.

The Board prohibits discrimination, harassment, or bullying based on any of the following protected classifications: race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, socioeconomic status, academic status, gender identity, physical appearance, sexual orientation, mental, physical, developmental, or sensory disability, immigration status, or any other classification that is protected by law, regulation or this policy.

The Board further prohibits discrimination against a person perceived to have any of the above characteristics or against a person for associating with someone protected by this policy.

Equal opportunity shall be provided in extracurricular as well as curricular activities. Any student or parent/custodian who believes that a student has been denied equal treatment in violation of this policy may notify the Superintendent or designee, who shall investigate and, where appropriate, resolve such concerns. Students and parents/custodians may also use the Student Grievance Policy, Policy Number 4800, to pursue a complaint of discrimination. Retaliation for reporting or pursuing a claim of discrimination under this policy is prohibited.

The superintendent shall develop guidelines to assist school staff in preventing discrimination and accommodating student differences.

Cross Reference: Policy 4411, Bullying/Harassment, Policy 4800, Student/Parent Grievances Adopted Effective: July 1, 1999 Revised Effective: January 24, 2008 Revised:
