Pennsylvania teen hailed a hero for rescuing girl from abductor

"Here's a question: why isn't the name "Temar Boggs" as well known as "Treyvon Martin" or "Michael Brown"? "  America 101
 Young men like this were usually victims of people like Michael Brown, I'd say


Hero Teen Temar Boggs Rescues Abducted Girl
"Temar Boggs, 15, is being hailed as a hero in his Lancaster Township, Pennsylvania home, after he rescued a five-year-old girl from her abductor.
Boggs was hanging with friends Thursday when they were approached by a man who asked them if they had seen Jocelyn Rojas, the little girl who had gone missing that day. The teen and his friend, Chris Garcia, decided to help look for the girl and set off on their bikes. As they searched for the missing girl, a maroon car caught the attention of Temar Boggs. Police officers were at the scene and gathered in the street outside the apartment when Rojas lived. Boggs noticed the maroon car approach the scene and then turn around, after which, it began to travel erratically up and down nearby side streets. Boggs decided to investigate and set off after the suspicious car. He could see Jocelyn Rojas in the back of the car and he also got a look at the driver, an older white man.
The man driving the car clearly became aware of the two teen boys following him on their bikes, as he stopped the car and allowed Rojas to get out. After a moment, Rojas ran up to Boggs and told him that she needed her mom. Boggs and Garcia then took the girl to police officers.
The suspect disappeared at that time but was arrested Friday. Police attributed his arrest in part to the description provided to them by the teen boys and by the abducted girl herself. " . . .

Obama the racial divider and BlackLivesMatter, still tearing this nation apart. Updated Tuesday pm

UPDATE: Obama Praises #BlackLivesMatter Leaders… Leaders Who Fueled The Murders Of Cops Nationwide
"Watch as Obama praises the group that is responsible for inciting hatred against police officers in America. Welcome to Obamaland. Flanked by liberal legislators, and Black Lives Matter founders Brittany Packnett and DeRay Mckesson, President Obama told White House meeting of young militant leftists that they “are much better organizers” than he was at their age, and that he is “confident that they are going to take America to new heights.' ”

‘A Hate Crime’: Veteran Assaulted Calls On Black Lives Matter To Condemn Attack


. . . “I still believe this was a hate crime and these cowards were motivated by the Black Lives Matter movement,” Marquez told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “They may not be card-carrying members but they were definitely motivated by this movement and I believe the leaders of Black Lives Matter have a responsibility to vigorously condemn all acts of violence and not just acts of violence against the black community.' ” . . .

The Foreign Policy Conversation Democrats Would Rather Not Have

Legal Insurrection
"That would be defending the indefensible foreign policy of the Obama administration"
2016-02-21_231535_Sanders_Clinton

"If you receive Morning Insurrection, you would have seen Prof. Miriam Elman’s recommendation to read Jonah Goldberg’s piece on the importance of foreign policy in the upcoming election. . . . 

"Goldberg wrote:
"We can debate how much blame Obama deserves for Syria’s civil war, but almost no one outside his paid staff disputes that he’s only made things worse. The conflict there has set off the worst humanitarian crisis in Europe since the end of World War II — that’s John Kerry’s own assessment — which may yet tear the European Union asunder.
"The instability closer to the fighting is even more dangerous. Russia and Turkey may soon go to war with one another, as Russia mercilessly and indiscriminately massacres anyone standing in the way of its pet, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. The Jordanian monarchy may crumble, in part for a lack of assistance from the United States.
"And yet, the gravity of the situation has yet to enter into the presidential contest in a serious way. As a co-author of Obama’s disastrous foreign policy, Hillary Clinton has no interest in calling attention to the global catastrophes unfolding around us. Bernie Sanders doesn’t want to talk about anything he can’t blame on billionaires, and Donald Trump doesn’t want to talk about anything other than his poll numbers, his insults, and the fraudulent claim that he predicted all of this before Bush launched the war in Iraq."

. . .  "Pew poll in December showed that, in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino terror attacks, terrorism is now the top concern among Americans at 18%. National security is third at 8%. A year ago those issues were listed by 1% and 2% of Americans, respectively. Worse for the Democrats, the same poll showed that American trust Republicans more on matters of national security over Democrats by a margin of 46% to 34%." . . . 

OBAMA SPENDS LESS THAN 2 MINUTES AT SCALIA’S WAKE

According to the White House pool report, Obama spent approximately 15 minutes in another room “meeting with others.”

Obama Spends Less Than 2 Minutes At Scalia’s Wake
"Friday, the Obamas spent approximately 35 seconds in front of the casket and then approximately 67 seconds in front of the portrait of Scalia.
"The Obamas will not be attending Scalia’s funeral on Saturday. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill will be attending.
"According to the White House pool report, Obama spent approximately 15 minutes in another room “meeting with others.' ”


Take WILD Guess What Obama Did on a Sunny Saturday Instead of Scalia’s Funeral   . . . But, by Sunday, the urge to put work and remembrance aside and play some golf was just too strong to ignore.
A 10:00AM White House call-time for the press pool was bumped up two hours to 8:00AM—Secret Service were spotted wearing khakis and baseball caps—it was clear, the president wanted to hit the links.

Obama calls Kalamazoo officials over shootings, pleads for more gun laws

Washington Times

"President Obama called local officials in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Monday morning to pledge federal resources for their probe of a mass shooting, and said the tragedy highlights the need for more gun laws.
. . . 
"Mr. Obama said he took executive actions on gun control earlier this year “that will make it harder for dangerous people like this individual [inKalamazoo] to buy a gun.” But he called on the governors “to partner and think about what we can do in a common-sense way, in a bipartisan way, without some of the ideological rhetoric that so often surrounds that issue.”
"Local authorities haven’t revealed yet how the alleged gunman, James B. Dalton, obtained the handgun used in the shootings. Six people were killed at random and two others seriously wounded." . . .

If Obama Fills Scalia’s Seat With Recess Appointment Who’d Dare a Challenge?

NY Sun  "WILL IT BE A FIGHT OR A TRAP? THAT’S THE CHOICE FACING PRESIDENT OBAMA AS HE LOOKS FOR A CANDIDATE for what is likely to be his final nomination to the Supreme Court.

"Republicans who control the Senate have already signaled their preference and intention to wait until after the presidential election to confirm a nominee. President Obama has said he will go ahead with a nomination anyway. The decision facing Mr. Obama, then, is whether to go for a fight that would mobilize the Democratic base, or instead choose a candidate who has some distantly plausible chance of getting confirmed, or at least of making Republicans seem unreasonable to independents or swing voters for failing to confirm him. In the base ­rallying category, two candidates that you may not have read much about, but who would definitely do the trick, are Pamela Karlan and Goodwin Liu." . . .

Why So Many Millennials Are Socialists

"Septuagenarian presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has been capitalizing on young people’s lack of knowledge and life experience to sell them a bill of rotten goods."
The Federalist

ep1

. . . "It’s easy to contrast the difference in convenience, quality, and speed between calling a customer service line at Visa to report a card stolen or fraudulent activity versus calling the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to request a new license card or to report a stolen identity. Government is slow, rigid, and outdated, while businesses have to compete with each other and only make money if they serve the needs and desires of their customers, so businesses have to be more innovative, quick, and flexible. If not, they fail. Government does not face those same constraints.
"Why don’t millennials know what socialism is? First, Democratic leaders, whom millennials tend to trust, don’t seem to have any idea themselves. Take Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Sander’s primary rival. Despite saying she’s not a socialist, Clinton found herself unable to explain how Democrats and socialists are different in a recent MSNBC interview:"


YEAH, LIKE WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT FROM OBAMA: Why the US Should Stand Up for Hong Kong:

Instapundit
"The UK’s Foreign Secretary has accused Beijing of a “serious breach” of its agreement over Hong Kong."
Now that Great Britain has said the treaty is breached, the United States must go beyond its February 1 expression of “deep concern” over Lee and the fate of the other men. It should now be more difficult for the Obama Administration to avoid implementing the key provision of the U.S.-Hong Kong Policy Act. That law directs the President to withdraw Hong Kong’s separate treatment in some economic and trade matters if he finds it to be insufficiently autonomous.
"Don’t hold your breath. You can generally count on Obama to side with the tyrants in confrontations of this sort."

Liberals who politicize Kalamazoo shooting: "racist morons!"

Dear Liberals Politicizing Kalamazoo Shooting: You Dumb, Racist Morons…

Six people were killed and two others wounded in a series of random shootings in Michigan Saturday evening, police said. A 14-year-old girl was shot and very seriously injured. Authorities earlier said that she’d died.Jason Brian Dalton, 45, was taken into custody early Sunday and was being questioned over shootings at three different locations in Kalamazoo County, police said.“There is no connection between any of them, this all appears to be random,” Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said. “This is the worst-case scenario that any community can have.”
 . . . "A time which should be focused on mourning and collecting of the facts, you instead decide to politicize, obfuscate and yes, flat-out lie about the travesty at hand. You dishonest, hobbling bags of human excrement.
“ 'Gun control!”  “White terrorism!”  “BlackLivesMatter!”  “More outrage, more hashtags!' ”

. . . "You simpletons sure do have a short memory. San Bernadino was actually the opposite of that. It took nearly an entire day before San Bernadino was declared terrorism. As a matter of fact, hours after the shooting, the police commissioner held a presser “declining to declare it terrorism” at that time. We went out of our way to refrain from calling it terrorism. It took last names, bombs, neighbor reports, citizenship and yes, direct ties to ISIS to be discovered for that declaration to be officially made to the public.  
"So then why do you leftists insist on lying about it? I wonder."

why must the media always demonize mental illnesses
         for the sake of generating excuses for white terrorists?

Thanks to “Superdelegates,” Hillary Might Be Assured of Nomination

Thanks to “Superdelegates," Hillary Might Be Assured of Nomination

"Question: with Hillary Clinton’s win in Nevada, 53-47, but only squeaking by Bernie Sanders in Iowa and getting spanked by him in New Hampshire, how is it that Clinton has a seven-to-one delegate advantage (502-to-70) over Sanders?
"Answer: Because one-sixth of the approximately 4,763 delegates who will be headed to Philadelphia in July to pick the Democratic Party’s nominee are “superdelegates," beholden to no one, least of all the voters. Seven hundred and twelve of those delegates are “unpledged” and include
20 party leaders (current and former presidents, vice-presidents, congressional leaders and chairs of the DNC (Democratic National Committee);
20 Democratic governors including territorial governors and the mayor of Washington, D.C.;
47 Democratic members of the U.S. Senate, including the “shadow” senator from Washington, D.C.;
193 Democrat members of the U.S. House of Representatives; and
432 elected members of the DNC.
"Five hundred and two of them have already said they would vote for Clinton — although it should be noted that superdelegates can change their pledges at any time, especially if Hillary is indicted or if Sanders wins more popular votes." . . .Entire article here.

The future of originalism after Scalia

Gary McCoy / Cagle Cartoons
Volokh Conspiracy  . . . "First, it is premature to conclude that the death of Scalia portends a major decline in interest in originalism among Supreme Court justices. It is quite possible that Senate Republicans will succeed in blocking President Obama’s nominee from replacing Scalia. If so, and a Republican candidate (at least one other than Donald Trump) wins the election, Scalia might well be replaced by a like-minded originalist. Originalism is now the dominant constitutional theory on the political right, and a GOP president would feel some pressure to replace Scalia with an adherent of the same worldview.

"Even if Obama is able to replace Scalia with a nonoriginalist liberal, originalism might still rebound from that setback in the near future. There are three other relatively elderly justices who might well leave the Court in the next few years, all of them nonoriginalists: Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Anthony Kennedy. Depending on who wins the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, it is quite possible that some or even all of these justices might be replaced by successors more sympathetic to originalism. " . . .

'Harmless Curiosity': Media Downplay Muslim Women Casing Florida Synagogues

"If you see something say something." Or not.


Truth Revolt via South Florida Jewish Community News:
"If you see something, say something" - then have your legitimate concerns trivialized and dismissed outright by authorities and local media alike.
That is precisely what is happening right now in the Miami metro area where a pair of Muslim women (we are unclear if it is the same pair or different pairs) -- donning hijabs and carrying a Quran -- have been casing multiple synagogues -- at least three to date -- asking suspicious questions about when large crowds gather for different kinds of services.
Below is how the incident was first reported by the local CBS affiliate on February 17:
