The Ferguson Collapse

Source: Darren Wilson says Michael Brown kept charging at him  ... "Wilson said he had yelled for Brown to stop, then fired, the source said. Brown flinched as if he was hit, and Wilson said he had stopped shooting. Brown continued running toward him, and Wilson said he had fired several more shots. The source said that Wilson had recalled that Brown’s head was down when the last shot hit him there." ...

Evidence discredits the progressive narrative.   Will Al Sharpton continue to be employed by MSNBC?

 

... "But that story has all but collapsed. Darren Wilson, the police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Brown in early August, recently told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and feared for his life when Brown reached for his gun. FBI forensic analysis has confirmed that, as Wilson claims, two shots were fired in the car, and Brown’s blood was found in the vehicle, on Wilson’s clothing, and on the gun. The Washington Post reports that “seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account” that he fatally shot Brown when the young man moved toward him in the street. And, according to the official court autopsy report, Brown probably did not have his hands raised in the “Hands up, don’t shoot” position that has become the defining meme of the protests in Ferguson, Mo. An eyewitness who claims to have seen the shooting from beginning to end further corroborated Wilson’s account in an anonymous interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

...

"Unfortunately, racial demagoguery, too, is pretty normal in America."

 

Is ACORN behind violent unrest in Ferguson?  ... "Activists are blackmailing the grand jury that is now hearing evidence against police officer Darren Wilson, who shot Brown in August reportedly in self-defense.  If the grand jurors refuse to indict Wilson, radical activists are promising even more mayhem.
"The message is unmistakable: indict the cop, and there will be peace.  Don't, and Ferguson will burn." ...

Race Hoaxes: Demoralizing For Blacks And A Calumny On Whites

 

... "But the reports were not accurate, and we had reason to doubt them as soon as the video of the convenience store robbery emerged. The theft and rough shoving of the owner didn’t look very gentle. The small cigars Brown stole are often filled with pot."

...

"So it’s heartbreaking to watch the kabuki theater play out yet again and to know that thousands, maybe millions, of American blacks are being deceived into believing that an 18-year-old who showed really bad judgment in attacking a police officer is a civil rights hero, and that young black males minding their own business on city streets are in danger of being shot by police for fun. It’s demoralizing for blacks and a calumny on whites."

 

Where are the angry demonstrations in support of the businesses that were looted and burned?

 

 

Predictable Consequences: ‘Fight For $15″ May Lead McDonald’s To Automation

 Rick Moran; As 'fight for 15' campaign goes on, McDonald's looks to automate   "Unions and proressives "don't care about how many people lose their jobs. All they're concerned about are those who will be working and paying for the privilege of belonging to a union.

"Fast food workers better wake up before the leftists and unions send most of them to the unemployment line."

Weasel Zippers

 

"And when thousands lose their jobs as a natural result, we will hear about the ‘evil, heartless corporations’."

Unions and progressives, on the other hand, swore fast food chains could easily afford the inflated labor cost without much of a price increase.

Here's The Burger-Flipping Robot That Could Put Fast-Food Workers Out Of A Job
"A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs.

"The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds.

"The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem."
...

It is said that "device isn’t meant to make employees more efficient. It’s meant to completely obviate them."

Alan Caruba; Obama's War on U.S. Energy

Warning Signs

 

... "In contrast, in March 2013 the then-Interior Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, boasted “In just over four years, we have advanced 17 wind, solar, and geothermal projects on our public lands.”  It is not these projects that Americans depend upon for energy. The opposite is a stark explanation why coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear energy remain the heart blood of the economy.

"The Daily Caller reported in July that the “U.S. Bureau of Land Management is currently sitting on a backlog of 3,500 applications that need approval to move forward on drilling for oil and natural gas on federal land,” just part of Obama’s war on U.S. energy."

Liberals Seek Alternative to Hillary Clinton. Guess how some schools plan to create socialist voters

Would-Be 2016 Challengers Test the Waters With Democratic Activists, Donors

WSJ  ... "As formidable as Mrs. Clinton looks even before declaring herself a candidate, liberals are casting about for a committed populist to run against her in 2016. They see the former secretary of state and senator as too closely aligned with large corporations and question whether she can be counted on to narrow the income gap in America.

"They hope to either recruit a candidate able to capture the nomination outright or at least give Mrs. Clinton enough of a scare that she embraces progressive policy goals. Their aim is to make the primary process a debate over the Democratic Party’s direction, rather than an uncontested march by Mrs. Clinton to the nomination.
...

... "As some liberals see it, Ms. Warren and Mr. Sanders are more trusted advocates of their interests. Ms. Warren has skewered credit-card companies and mortgage lenders, accusing them of exploiting people who aren’t financially savvy."

Socialist Bernie Sanders begins to lay out his potential presidential platform
"Bernie Sanders doesn’t run away from the socialist label.

"The independent Vermont senator recently declared he is considering a run for president, either as an independent or as a Democrat. He appeared on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” Friday night to explain what life in his socialist America would look like."

And this is how voters for these socialists will be created in our schools: 

Socialist history curriculum adopted in Philadelphia schools

 

 

"City council members in Philadelphia have given the go-ahead to a resolution to allow a socialist historian’s view of America, via his “A People’s History of the United States,” to be part of the public high school curriculum.

 

"The book, by Howard Zinn, looks at American history through the lens of the working people, and of women and minorities, and tracks the various social movements — including the advent of labor unions — that have shaped government reform and policy.-

Walter E. Williams; Teacher Indoctrination ... " The teacher was Jay Bennish. He told his students that President George W. Bush's State of the Union address sounded "a lot like the things that Adolf Hitler used to say." He continued, "Bush is threatening the whole planet." He then asked his students, "Who is probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth?" He shouted the answer, "The United States!" During this class session, Bennish peppered his 10th-grade class with other ridiculous statements, saying the U.S. has engaged in "7,000 terrorist attacks against Cuba" and telling his students capitalism "is at odds with humanity, at odds with caring and compassion ... (and) at odds with human rights."

Islamism’s Appeal to the Discontented

Max Boot  ... "Sadly we can expect more such “lone wolf” attacks in the future, which are almost impossible to predict and very difficult to prevent. One obvious line of defense is to maintain vigilant surveillance of the Internet–which is what the NSA was doing before some of its most successful programs were exposed and curtailed by the traitor Edward Snowden."
...

... "So potent is the appeal of this radical ideology that it even has some appeal to non-Muslims who convert simply so they can become terrorists or at least fellow travelers of terrorists. Oddly enough one of these converts is Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan Marxist revolutionary who once committed terrorism in the name of Palestine and then converted to Islam while sitting in a French prison."

WAPOs Glen Kessler: KY Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes Should Be Ashamed of Herself

The Lid   "Washington Post" fact checker Glenn Kessler ripped apart Kentucky's Democratic Senate Candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes for running an ad that not only contained a debunked claim but added another falsehood for good measure. Kessler wrote,"We realize that the game of politics is sometimes played rough in Kentucky, but this ad is beyond the pale. Indeed, it is likely the worst ad of a nasty campaign year. Grimes should be ashamed of herself.' "
 

 

"The advertisement in question (embedded above) claims that Grimes' opponent, incumbent Mitch McConnell, took $600K from anti-coal interests, including former NY Mayor Bloomberg, a claim the fact checker already gave his worst "Four Pinocchios" rating. Grimes stated:" ...

Union demands send Japanese firm, jobs packing from California town

Fox News  "The California city of Palmdale was ready to roll out the red carpet this summer when a Japanese company agreed to build a $60 million factory on a city-owned, vacant parcel on the southwest side of town -- but now the company is taking its project out of state and critics say union greed is to blame."

Japanese rail company Kinkisharyo agreed to build a $60 million factory on a city-owned, vacant parcel in Palmdale, Calif. It would have been similar to this facility operated by the company in Phoenix, Arizona. (Kinkisharyo) (KINKISHARYO)

 

... "The "Antelope Valley Residents for Responsible Development," a group backed by the International Brotherhood Workers Union Local 11, produced a 588-page appeal claiming that construction of the proposed factory would violate state environmental laws, by, among other things, kicking up spores. What the union really wanted, according to Kinkisharyo officials, was clearance to organize the plant without any interference from the company. When Kinkisharyo officials balked, the project suddenly became a potential environmental hazard."

Revealed: Muslim convert who shot dead Canadian soldier is the 'privately-educated son of country's immigration chief,

 Had his passport revoked and has 'links to Syrian terrorist'

UK Daily Mail

 

..."Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the Muslim convert who fatally shot Corporal Nathan Cirillo - a 24-year-old father standing guard at Ottawa's War Memorial - and injured another officer, was a petty criminal and the son of a leading Canadian immigration official.

"Born in Quebec as Michael Joseph Hall and raised in Laval, just north of Montreal, the young man lived a quiet childhood of private schools and suburban homes, with a mother who was a high ranking federal employee.

"Then, after years of run-ins with the law, he converted to Islam."...

Time to start deracializing Ferguson

 

NY Post

... " If the grand jurors find the justifiable-homicide narrative plausible, it’s highly likely that the case against Wilson will evaporate.
"What if the officer’s explanation turns out to be true? What if race had nothing at all to do with this incident? What if it was just a cop shooting a threatening young male?
"If so, then the media and the Obama administration have some explaining to do.
"The media jumped on the racial scenario with gleeful abandon." ...

 

This Muslim Woman Tried to Wear Her Veil in Public…But She Wasn’t Expecting This to Happen

Conservative Tribune.    "Since 2011, France has enforced a so-called “burka ban” on Muslims covering their faces in public, making it the first European country to take such measures against publicly-demonstrated Islamic dress codes. About five million Muslims live in France.

"Offenders in and around Paris usually receive a fine, but on Oct. 3, the ban reached a new level of enforcement, as a Muslim woman was kicked out of the Bastille Opera house after refusing to uncover her face."...

Democrats Join The Ferguson Lynch Mob Right As The Case Against Officer Wilson Collapses

From Lucianne:
"Everyone who hasn’t drunk the progressive Kool-Aid is aware that during elections Democrats resort to the race card to scare African Americans, for whose intelligence they have limitless contempt, into voting for them. If Republicans are elected, their propaganda claims, “black churches will burn” or the racial clock will be turned back to the era of segregation, an era that Democrats happen to have been directly responsible for. This year it’s the mythical threat white policeman allegedly pose to black youth, as Democrats and their media enablers encourage a “lynch mob” mentality — as Howard Kurtz put it recently —"

Daily Caller

 

 ... "The autopsy report further shows that Michael Brown’s hands were not in the air in a posture of surrender when he was shot – as the Ferguson lynch mob claims — but that the 6’4” 292lb individual was advancing on the much smaller officer, less than twenty feet away. In other words, the autopsy report supports Officer Wilson’s claims that there was a violent struggle and that he shot Wilson first with the intent to warn him to stop and finally – when he failed to do so — to stop him." ...

Carol Costello, the media and the Palins

 Washington Post Calls for CNN's Carol Costello to Apologize to Palin Family On-Air

Supposed Feminist Carol Costello Loves the Sound of Bristol Palin Attacked by Drunken Men

Quoting excerpts from Rush Limbaugh, who knows a thing or two about Carol Costello:
"What happened was Bristol Palin, the daughter of Sarah Palin, got beat up.  She basically got beat up and ended up calling the cops, and Carol Costello at CNN just thought it was the greatest news that she'd ever heard.  Oh, yeah, Carol talked about this as being something that we hadn't enjoyed in a long, long time." ...

COSTELLO:  Okay, I'm just gonna come right out and say it.  This is quite possibly the best minute-and-a-half of audio we've ever come cross -- well, come across in a long time, anyway. (laughing)

... "Now, here's Carol Costello, a supposed feminist, a supposed opponent of violence against women. I mean, would just be angry as hell if any other woman had been treated this way. Had they been attacked and it was on audiotape and she was playing it, she would be righteously indignant and probably blaming the Republican War on Women. But here she's eating it up. Here she just loves it, a supposed feminist, a supposed opponent of violence against women, presented an audiotape of a young woman describing being attacked and beaten by a bunch of drunken men as the most delicious thing she had ever heard in her life.

...“ 'I never wanted to become the poster child for anything, let alone domestic violence. But my blood is boiling, so when I say shut up, I’m venting at all those people out there who insist on blaming the victim,” Costello wrote with righteous fury directed at the National Football League (and the morning show Fox & Friends) over what she considered an insufficient level of concern for an incident involving Ray Rice striking his fiancé."

Here is how ABC covered the story

If the Palin family is fair game, why does Joe Biden get a pass for the conduct of his son?
Mr. Cooke does not hold Sarah Palin in high regard, but has this to say about the press treatment of her:
"All in all, I can think of few people in public life who have been as disgracefully hounded as has Palin; and nor, for that matter, can I recall a single figure in the past decade who has been subjected to self-serving double standards by the press and by elite culture writ large." ...
