POTUS Bullies SCOTUS ; King v Burwell: What’s Next?
"The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the latest legal challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in June. The Court will decide whether the IRS had the authority to write a rule allowing health insurance subsidies to flow through federally-facilitated exchanges.
"Petitioners argue that the law clearly restricts the subsidies to “an Exchange established by the State” and that administrative agencies like the IRS cannot alter legislation or spend taxpayer dollars without statutory authorization by Congress. The government argues that “established by the State” is at worst a drafting error and that Congress clearly wanted subsidies to be available in all of the states." . . .
Read on for the latest news and opinion about this case and its implications.
Obama Tries To Bully The Supreme Court One More Time . . . "Obama's real target in the speech, however, wasn't to sell ObamaCare to a public that long ago decided that it didn't want or like the law, and hasn't changed its mind.
"His target was the Supreme Court and its upcoming ruling on King v. Burwell. Not that anything Obama says can change the court's ruling. That was probably decided soon after oral arguments in March.
"No, Obama wants to ostracize the court should it have the gall to rule that, based on the actual legislative language, ObamaCare subsidies are available only to people who sign up through state-run exchanges." . . .

Promise Kept Alert: Obama Considers Establishing New Military Bases In Iraq…
File this next under "dubious":
Other sources have this as well, as DEBKAfile often needs corroboration
From DEBKAfile.
Also in Israel News Cloud
Global Geopolitics carries this same story, but all sources link to DEBKAfile. This does not seem in character with Obama, whom I feel would like to stall this all until he is out of office. Then he can criticize the next administration for messing up the beautiful foreign policy he bequeathed to them.
If you don't believe that, then tell me where have you been the past seven years. TD
Max Boot: Obama Embraces Hope But Little Change in Iraq . . . " If the administration were really serious about defeating ISIS, it would have to lift the rules that prevent American personnel from going into battle with Iraqi forces and calling in air strikes. It would also have to be prepared to order US Special Operations Forces to engage ISIS directly, staging regular raids like the one that recently killed an ISIS mid-level leader in Syria. In addition, it would have to mount a major political initiative to give the Sunnis a reason to fight ISIS by assuring them that they will not again be subjugated to extremist Shiite rule. Oh, and the administration would also have to come up with some strategy for fighting ISIS in Syria — and in far-flung lands such as Libya, where the Islamic State is now expanding." . . .
High School Principal Fired For Saying THIS About McKinney Cop
Now, the principal of North Miami Senior High School, Alberto Iber, has been fired over his Facebook comment defending the Texas police officer caught on video pushing a teen girl to the ground in an incident at a rowdy community pool party.. . . "Since when did sharing an opinion on a news story require a school to boot out a principal, anyway?
“He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life,” Iber posted on a Miami Herald story. “I commend him for his actions.”
Three sentences. Sixteen words.
"He wasn’t cussing anyone out or engaging in inappropriate acts with students. What, is he never allowed to share his opinions out loud as long as he works in the public education system?
"This is an attempt to silence a man who has an opinion that differs from the liberals in the Department of Education who see the McKinney pool party incident as an opportunity to push their “diversity” agenda and make all black people look like victims." . . .

Dr. Alveda King Calls Out the “Race-Baiters”
. . . "So, when she speaks out on the current state of race relations in America, it would do everyone well to listen. CNS News reports her latest insights:"
"She gets right to the point of the problem with the left’s “race industry” as CNS News goes on:" . . .
. . . "When I hear Mrs. Senator Hillary Clinton or Mrs. Michelle Obama, or Al Sharpton, or other leading speakers stir up memories of racial unrest and oppression, even when they are pointing out the obvious current racial overtones and undertones that Blacks in America are still facing, I don’t hear hope. They don’t offer solutions, only more anger, pain and despair."
"She gets right to the point of the problem with the left’s “race industry” as CNS News goes on:" . . .
. . . "It’s a shame President Obama has squandered his historic opportunity to bring America together on race. But, that wouldn’t get him as many votes.
"It’s a shame Rev. Al hasn’t used his pulpit to lift up the lives of the too many African-Americans still in despair, but if he did that, he wouldn’t make as much money.
"And, it’s a shame Hillary isn’t using her historical perspective as someone who can remember back to how life was for minorities in the 1950s to talk about the immense progress this nation has made to ensure equal opportunity for all. But, for her too, that wouldn’t buy many Democrat votes. After all, didn’t the liberal media refer to her husband as “the first black President”?
"No, demagogues never want the truth. It doesn’t buy them anything." . . .
Jan, 2014; NATION OF ISLAM (Black Panthers) GET PASADENA TEXAS WELCOME
This is all so sad, as I have been treated with nothing but kindness and friendliness by virtually every African-American I meet. Many, I believe are upset at the anger and violence being put forth in their name. Please help them be aware that our anger is directed at those who profit from racism. The Tunnel Dweller.
McKinney, our police and Al Sharpton
Emotional Toll of Police Work "In an earlier post I posed the question of why Eric Casebolt, the now–former police officer in McKinney, Texas, was alone among the officers at the infamous pool party who conducted himself unprofessionally. Now we may have an explanation. In a Wednesday press conference, Casebolt’s attorney, Jane Bishkin, revealed that prior to answering the call about the party, Casebolt had responded to two incidents that were especially trying. In the first of these, a man had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in front of his children. Casebolt consoled the widow and assisted in photographing the body. And after that, he was called to a scene where a teenage girl was threatening to kill herself by jumping from the roof of her parents’ home. Casebolt calmed the girl and the situation was resolved successfully. “The nature of these two suicide calls took an emotional toll on Eric Casebolt,” Ms. Bishkin told reporters. “With all that had happened that day, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him.”
You can be sure Al Sharpton doesn't have days like this.
McKinney Residents Respond to Pool Party Incident… And It’s NOT What Al Sharpton Wanted
. . . "Because the liberal media sees everything through the prism of race, it naturally assumed that the black children who were accosted by the police were the victims.
Many local residents disagreed.
“This isn’t about race,” resident Bryan Gestner wrote on Facebook. “This is about outside kids invading our neighborhood and had no respect for authority or the residents here.”
“I feel absolutely horrible for the police and what’s going on,” an unidentified local homeowner told reporters. “They were completely outnumbered and they were just doing the right thing when these kids were fleeing and using profanity and threatening security guards.”
. . .
The residents of McKinney, Texas, certainly don’t blame [Officer Casebolt] or any of his peers, so perhaps we should follow their lead and give thanks where it’s due."
More on the McKinney Case. . . " Now take the scenario of the partygoers all being white and the police officer being black. Would people have automatically reached racial conclusions in this case? Yet the ironic thing here is that, according to statistics, black violence action against whites is far more likely to be racial in nature than white violence action against blacks. Yet, in these cases, many people go out of their way not to interpret such violence in racial terms." . . .
Guess Where Al Sharpton Is Headed… This Won’t End Well
. . . "Sharpton said he is considering holding a rally in McKinney as early as this weekend to demand that the officer who pulled the gun be fired."As his attorney said, Casebolt allowed his emotions to get the better of him, a lapse for which he has paid with the loss of his career and the prospect of an uncertain future. I don’t excuse his behavior, but I understand it better now than I did when I wrote about it earlier. I wish him well."

"Well, I’ll save him the trip- Officer Corporal Eric Casebolt has resigned and is now in hiding with his family due to threats from these blacks. His career is done. His life as he knew it is over. And that sucks."
The article goes on to tell us that some of Sharpton's followers are "threatening residents, vandalizing property, stealing cars, kicking in people’s doors and turning that nice community into hell." . . .

ARMY PROVIDES HONOR GUARD FOR GAY PRIDE PARADE: But Not Church Service
Doug Giles
"Everything is backwards in Obamaland.By Todd Starnes at FoxNews.com
"For nearly two decades, the U.S. Army has provided an honor guard for an Independence Day celebration at a Baptist church that predates the founding of the nation. But this year – that tradition has come to an end.

"Officials at Fort Gordon say they will not be able to send an honor guard to a July 5th service at Abilene Baptist Church because it violates a military policy banning any involvement in a religious service.

Seinfeld to liberals: Stop the “creepy PC thing”
Legal Insurrection
"The day Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover was revealed, I made a joke about it. It wasn’t anything particularly crude or shocking, and it didn’t go any further than the mildest joke you would have seen on Twitter that day, but I still fielded text messages chewing me out for being “insensitive” and “transphobic” by chittering outrage squirrels who don’t understand what phobic means.
(Emphasis added.)
"People in general have accepted that for the most part, comedy comes from a dark place. It’s the knee-jerk reaction that you repress, but that the comedian packages and splatters on the wall for the world to see. That being said, even the world’s most popular creative talents are getting the sense that, when it comes to comedy, the general population would much rather not laugh at the expense of the bubble-wrapped classes that the left so jealously shields from criticism.
"On last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, comedian Jerry Seinfeld joined Seth and New Yorker editor David Remnick and unleashed on today’s PC culture that can’t even handle a lighthearted joke about social media that happens to have the word “gay” in it.
“There’s a creepy PC thing out there that really bothers me.”

"It’s not just the general PC crowd that has Seinfeld down. Earlier this week, he made waves after a radio interview in which he explained that college crowds have become all but impossible to play to. One supremely offended student even penned a response to Seinfeld’s sins, proving once and for all that Seinfeld is right, and social justice warriors have absolutely no sense of humor. (Click here to expose yourself to a college student using phrases like “appropriately sexist.”)
"I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Seinfeld’s rant is one of the more important recent developments in pop culture. It’s not enough for scrappy bloggers to rail against the PC establishment; we need big voices to fill the void, to stand up and say no to the outraged classes who are so dedicated to the idea of being outraged that they’ll move the goalposts in an effort to convince everyone that if they’re not offended, they should be.
"Saying no is all we can do—but if I can make people laugh while doing it, that’ll make the whole ordeal a lot more tolerable."
IMMIGRATION -- HEY, LOOK! A COP YELLING AT A BLACK GIRL IN A BIKINI!
Let's discuss the Clinton's integrity - Look! Cops trying to herd helpless children!

"How many thousands of news stories have there been on Ferguson, ISIS, Chris Christie's "Bridgegate" or men becoming women?
"But the media will never tell you about Mexicans gang-raping a lesbian in Richmond, California, an Indian immigrant in San Francisco importing 12-year-old girls he bought from their parents for sex, or three children being beheaded by Mexicans in Baltimore.
"Don't Americans have a right to know about the cultures flooding into our country?
"This isn't a natural transformation. It is purely the result of government policy. But our media don't care to discuss the issue. In fact, they get mad whenever Americans find out what they're doing with immigration.
"When Americans do think about immigration, they're against it. In polls earlier this year, more Americans had a favorable opinion of North Korea than wanted to increase immigration. That's why the media's approach to immigration is to never talk about it." . . .

But they'd really rather that you just not find out what they're doing to the country.Ann Coulter "I'm impressed by the coolness and steadiness of our media in suppressing any news about immigration.
