California Abandons History for Melodrama

Bruce S. Thornton  "Just when you think California can’t get any wackier, the state legislature steps up and proves you wrong. ... Assembly is set to vote on SB 48, a bill already passed by the Senate, which will “require instruction in social sciences to also include a study of the role and contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, persons with disabilities, and other ethnic and cultural groups, to the development of California and the United States.” Even more troubling, the bill says that “The state board or and any governing board shall not adopt any textbooks or other instructional materials for use in the public schools that contain any matter reflecting adversely upon persons on the basis of race or ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, nationality, sexual orientation.”  Emphasis added.

(Updated) MCDONALD'S BEATING VICTIM IS TRANSGENDER SO NOW IT'S A HATE CRIME! (Update-victim's name.)

Transgender victim of brutal attack at McDonald’s restaurant speaks out  (Video) "Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, said she had a sex-change operation to become a woman, and that this isn’t the first time she’s been picked on physically because of her gender identity, reported the Baltimore Sun."


McDonald’s Beating Victim Identified as Christopher (Chrissy) Lee Polis – Cross Dressing Male
"The police report identifies the victim as 22-year-old Chrissy Lee Polis, who appears identical to Christopher Lee Polis, whose rap sheet includes convictions for disorderly conduct, property destruction, and prostitution, according to court records. Polis told police that she was walking to the restaurant’s bathroom when she “got into a verbal argument with two black females” who “began punching her in the face with their fists and pulling her hair.”

MediaTakeOut.com  "New developments tonight in the case of a person brutally attacked at a McDonalds in Baltimore County. Equality Maryland says the victim is a transgender woman. The organization’s board president, Chuck Butler released the following statement:"...

Transgender Woman Severely Beaten at Baltimore McDonalds While Employees Watch

"This is absolutely disgusting. After an unidentified transwoman tried to use the bathroom at a Baltimore McDonald's, two patrons started attacking her in full view of other customers and employees. What did the employees do? They filmed it on their phones." McDonald's has much to answer for, but so does the community this restaurant serves.

Donald Trump: The president we deserve

Salon  "He's got Reagan's blarney, Clinton's libido and plenty of experience with massive debt and bankruptcy. Perfect!" 

Oh my: Trump phones Krauthammer — and convinces him that he’s running  "Liberals hate him for his Birtherism and want to believe he’s some sort of Biblical plague visited upon Republicans to punish them for the sins of their fringe. Prominent conservatives hate him because his record is, shall we say, spotty and because he’s sucking up media oxygen from more viable candidates."

Bush V. Obama: Who’s The Better Commander-in-Chief? I Think We All Know The Answer…

Big Peace   "As everyone who was paying attention remembers, in 2007-2008 a young upstart and would-be presidential candidate named Barack Obama spoke disparagingly (if not disrespectfully) of President George W. Bush’s willingness to go to war in Iraq. And then-Senator Obama also did everything in his power to insure Bush lacked the approval to go to war anywhere else. (For instance, to keep Bush from attacking Iran Obama introduced S.J.Res.23, requiring that “any offensive military action taken by the United States against Iran must be explicitly authorized by Congress.” And just to be doubly sure Bush’s hands were tied, Obama bravely declared: “[the] president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”)"
"Of course that’s all just so much water under the bridge now."

We Call It ‘Rationing,’ Obama Calls It ‘Medicare Independent Payment Advisory Board’ ( IPAB )

Pajamas Media  "We’ve already seen a foretaste of this when a federal government medical panel attempted to save money by restricting screening mammography to women over age 50, even though decades of medical research has shown clear benefits to starting annual mammograms at age 40. Although the Obama administration stated that the IPAB would not ration medical care, its power to set payments to doctors and hospitals would give it de facto rationing power."

'Death Panels' Come Back to Life  "The FDA's restrictions on the drug Avastin are the beginning of a long slide toward health-care rationing."

Racial beat-down in a McDonalds (Updated)

Update: MCDONALD'S BEATING VICTIM IS TRANSGENDER

LiveLeak  "Violence in another McDonalds almost kills customer
"Here is another fine example of the trend of violence in fast food restaurants. Two black females beating the hell out of a white patron, while several black employees stand by and watch. One black male manages to provide the facade of assistance to the white victim in this brutal attack."

Baltimore Sun  "County police confirmed that the attack occurred April 18 in the 6300 block of Kenwood Ave. Police said the 14-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile, while charges were pending against an 18-year-old woman.
"The victim suffered cuts to her mouth and face, and a police report said she was in "fair" condition.
"The report classifies the attack as a "second degree assault" -- one of the suspects said that the fight was "with a woman over using a bathroom.""

Police Report  Three pages, but good luck identifying anyone. Much is blacked out, but the victim is identified as a woman, contrary to the following article. We await more information.

McDonald's Employee Took Credit For Filming Brutal Beating In Baltimore Fast Food Joint
Vernon Hackett's Facebook post:

"As seen above, in a Facebook posting, Hackett has contended that the woman seen getting beaten in the video was actually a male cross-dresser who got into a confrontation with female patrons when he refused to leave the women’s bathroom at the Baltimore eatery. Hackett claimed that the victim faked a seizure and, when cops arrived at the restaurant, “he got right up.”
"Hackett did not reply to TSG messages sent to his Twitter and Facebook pages, which he subsequently deleted late this morning."

Charles Krauthammer: The racing form, 2012

Washington Post "A remarkable class of young up-and-comers includes Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley. All impressive, all new to the national stage, all with bright futures. 2012, however, is too early — except possibly for Ryan, who last week became de facto leader of the Republican Party. For months, he will be going head-to-head with President Obama on the budget, which is a surrogate for the central issue of 2012: the proper role of government. If Ryan acquits himself well, by summer’s end he could emerge as a formidable anti-Obama."

'Climate-Justice Revolution'

Neal Boortz  "This is the future of America? Lord help us if that is the case. Watch this ignoranus talk about “a climate-justice revolution.” And one guy even admits that “one of the core issues of climate change and environmental issues in general is our addiction to economic growth.” Did you hear that, folks? Our addiction to economic growth!

Heritage: Religious Faith Is Still Good News for America

The Foundry  "“Regrettably, there are many in America who express contempt and disdain toward those who bring their faith to bear on their politics,” write Heritage scholars Ryan Messmore and Tom Messner.
"That has been most visible recently in the debate over the definition of marriage. Many individuals and churches have faced backlash for defending the institution of marriage on moral or religious grounds, catalogued in Messner’s paper on the California marriage ballot initiative, The Price of Prop 8:"...

Andrew Klavan: How to Behave During an Islamic Massacre (video)

An imagined contest between the president and The Donald.

Pajamas Media "This possible future presidential debate is based on segments from actual interview transcripts involving President Obama and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on April 14, 2011, and Donald Trump and Stephanopoulos on April 18, 2011.
"The interview segments used in this “debate” have been repositioned slightly but without the altering of any real content. However, the questions from the moderator are fictionalized."

For You Know-It-All College Students

Clown Ministry

Neal Boortz  "Many students in this video believe that it is moral to confiscate money from hard-working Americans and entrepreneurs and give it to those who didn't earn it, yet don't support the same philosophy when it is applied to their GPA scores. Take some time to watch this video --- see our college students in action! I know that you will be anxiously waiting for the chance to hire them as soon as they graduate?"
