[REALCLEARPOLITICS] The B.O. regime's Department of Justice has been leading the charge, when it comes to presuming the police to be guilty -- not only until proven innocent, but even after grand juries have gone over all the facts and acquitted the police.
Not only Attorney General Holder, but President B.O. himself, has repeatedly come out with public statements against the police in racial cases, long before the full facts were known. Nor have they confined their intervention to inflammatory words.
The Department of Justice has threatened various local police departments with lawsuits unless they adopt the federal government's ideas about how police work should be done.
The high cost of lawsuits virtually guarantees that the local police department is going to have to settle the case by bowing to the Justice Department's demands -- not on the merits, but because the federal government has a lot more money than a local police department, and can litigate the case until the local police department runs out of the money needed to do their work.
By and large, what the federal government imposes on local police departments may be summarized as kinder, gentler policing. This is not a new idea, nor an idea that has not been tested in practice.
It was tested in New York under Mayor David Dinkins ...the former mayor of New York. He sez he lost to Rudy Giuliani in 1993 because of racism, which is pervasive in places like Manhattan... more than 20 years ago. The opposite approach was also tested when Dinkins was succeeded as mayor by Rudolph Giuliani, who imposed tough policing policies -- which brought the murder rate down to a fraction of what it had been under Dinkins.
Unfortunately, when some people experience years of safety, they assume that means that there are no dangers. That is why New York's current mayor is moving back in the direction of Mayor Dinkins. It is also the politically expedient thing to do.
And innocent men, women and kiddies -- most of them black -- will pay with their lives in New York, as they have in Baltimore and elsewhere.

No one mentions OUR Law Enforcement under death threats Whom must support their Families under such circumstance.
The DOJ is directly responsible for every one of their lives when they involve so heavily.

That what happens when you assume that all men (= humans) are equal (in every particular). Then, every difference in outcomes is a sign of discrimination.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] When Moslem Brüderbund Secretary General Mahmoud Hussein issues a statement, then party front man Mohammed Montasser issues another to refute it, it is obvious that there are internal conflicts. Hussein's statement, which was overlooked by the Brotherhood's media outlets, said he was still secretary general and that Deputy Supreme Guide Mahmoud Ezzat is acting supreme guide.
However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... Montasser's statement, published on the Brotherhood's official website, said a new secretary general was appointed in 2014 and that Mohammed Badei, who is currently in jail, is still the official supreme guide. The Brotherhood has no representatives except him and the group's official website, Montasser's statement added.

...Today, it's as if the inmates are running the asylum. The politicians are participating in a chicken race of "goodness" where everybody tries to one-up each other in caring for the citizens of OTHER countries while Swedish retirees, school children, handicapped and other vulnerable categories of people are thorougly ignored. Violence is exploding. Jihadist Trojan horses are flowing through the porous border along with the tens of thousands ID-less refugees.

In the 19the Century, that was done via colonialism, aka "The White Man's Burden". Better to do it over there than at home. Now they're finding out why.
[DAWN] It happened again. In an unfortunate incident which took place in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... on Friday night, dozens of heavily armed gunnies wearing the uniforms of security forces (as described by eyewitnesses), stopped two buses, singled out ethnic Pakhtuns after checking their national identification cards and fatally shot at least 22 of them.
Right now, as I write this, hundreds of protesters -- mostly relatives of slain victims -- have refused to bury the dead and are holding a sit-in outside the Governor's House in Quetta, vowing to continue the protest until the killers are punished.
Attacks like these are not new in Pakistain. In the past, myrmidon outfits of both sectarian and ethnic separatist groups have carried out attacks of the same nature. They have stopped buses, singled out passengers belonging to any specific religious or ethnic group and shot them dead on the spot.
In the year 2012, two horrific incidents were reported from Kohistan ...a backwoods district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa distinguished by being even more rustic than is the norm among the local Pashtuns.... and Mansehra ...a city and an eponymous district in eastern Khyber-Pakthunwa, nestled snug up against Pak Kashmir, with Kohistan and Diamir to the north and Abbottabad to the south... , where Shia Moslems were pulled out of buses and bumped off by bandidossnuffies after their sects were identified through their ID cards. This time, the determining factor was the ethnic identity of Pakhtun victims.
Still, every time an attack of a sectarian/ethnic nature takes place in Pakistain, we witness a jingoistic brigade turning up with their rather mindless rhetoric about how calling the dead "Shia" or "Pakhtun", as in the recent case, would "affect" national unity.
It is tragic that after all that has gone on, an overwhelming number of people are sold on this hypocritical rubbish. Anyone with an iota of common sense would understand that the 22 Mastung victims were killed only because they were Pakhtuns -- that's what the act of being singled out was supposed to convey; that they were killed for their ethnicity.
Yes, people are being killed all over Pakistain; some due to political conflicts between myrmidon wings as in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , and others due to kabooms and suicide kabooms by anti-state elements. But the victims of these attacks are hardly chosen arbitrarily.
The attack on the Army Public School in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. was not directed at any religious or ethnic group, but it certainly was directed at the Army, by elements who are at war with the Army and the state. Some of those 150 casualties may have been Shia, whereas most were probably Sunni and Pashtuns.
Nobody specified those terms while reporting the incident because it did not make sense to paint an indiscriminate attack as an attack on a certain group -- just like it does not make sense to paint a suicide kaboom at a Shia mosque as an attack on 'Paks' in general.
According to stats presented in the South Asia Intelligence Review, till now 186 people have been killed in sectarian attacks this year alone. The Peshawar and Shikarpur incidents; the Church blast in Lahore; the attack on the Ismaili community in Karachi; the list shows not just how serious the issue is but also the fact that hyper-nationalist rhetoric is not helping to curb the issue.
If the killing of the three Moslem Americans in February this year was more than an attack on 'Americans'; the Gujarat ...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime... riots of 2002 more than an attack on 'Indians'; the sufferings of Rohingya Moslems more than the sufferings of 'Burmese', then everything happening in our country is also more than an attack on 'Paks'.
While we stand against Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... and anti-Semitism or any other kind of hatred, let's also acknowledge the Shia and Ahmadi persecution, and violence and the discrimination against minority groups like Christians and Hindus.
Acknowledge the motive. Find the root of the problem. Fix it.
That is how you solve issues, not through denial.
In the matter of crushing terrorism, I believe the mindset of the awaam is as important as that of the rulers, and any more denial will simply not do.

[Wash Times] As the Islamic State expands the caliphate carved from what used to be Iraq and Syria, the American people demand that it be destroyed. Our ruling class responds with dysfunctional debate. Democrats blame Republicans for starting the Middle East's war and vow not to worsen matters by intervening again, while most mainstream Republicans blame President Obama's Democrats for throwing away what they call George W. Bush's victory in Iraq and yearn for American "boots on the ground" to "save it."
One side maintains that the Islamic State, or ISIS, is none of our business, while the other presumes that America's business is to establish acceptable regimes. Both err -- the first by neglecting that Middle East potentates' agendas sometimes intrude upon our business, and the second by failing properly to distinguish between what is others' business and what is ours. Both avoid the substance of the American people's demand: Kill the cutthroats who behead Americans, who make converts among disaffected sectors of our population and encourage them to kill us.
Doing away with ISIS requires honesty about what America's business is and is not, what is within our capacity and right to do and what is not. In short, while we have neither the capacity nor the right to determine who rules whom or how anywhere but at home, we have the power and the duty to destroy any individual, band or movement that means to kill us.
Each side recognizes the American people's demand, and avoids it for its own reasons. The Obama administration does so by a de minimis military campaign in former Iraq, combined with mild cooperation with Iran. Thus, to avoid inconveniencing the Middle East's progressive forces,
Iran as a progressive force? An interesting use of the term...
it kicks the ISIS can down the road. Meanwhile, Republicans Rand Paul and Carly Fiorina give that can another kick with implausible calls to "get the locals involved in dealing with their own problems." They seem not to notice that ISIS is our problem now.
Mainstream Republicans -- Sen. John McCain and commentators at Fox News and The Wall Street Journal -- also seem not to notice it because their salient concern is the same as that of the Bush administration: the unity of territorial integrity, and the decency of Iraq and other states in the region. Focused on other peoples' business -- on matters that, patently, are beyond our power or right to decide -- they neglect what it takes to forcefully mind our own business.
And so the dysfunctional debate continues. On one side: bipartisan agreement on doing nothing that would compromise "Iraqi unity" regardless of what happens to ISIS -- just a lower commitment of American involvement and continued efforts to involve a more local powers in the fight. On the other side: save Baghdad from ISIS by reoccupying at least some of Iraq. Sacrifice American lives, continue giving sophisticated arms to Iraqis who promptly surrender them to ISIS, but make sure that no such weapons reach the Kurds and the Shia because, though they fight ISIS, they pose a threat to the Bushy dream of a "united, democratic Iraq." While our ruling class exchanges nonsense, hunting season on Americans remains open.

An Iran/ISIS war could draw in all the nutballs from around the world. I wouldn't mind if we did a B-52 strike or two on really ripe targets but generally i think should just let them go Darwin on each other.

The US-led GWOT agz Al-Qaeda + now the ISIS/ISIL has ironically devol into a PCorrect-Deniable cover or facade for forcibly imposing Anti-Electoral-Democratic, Marxism-Communism-Globalism and Anti-US OWG-NWO upon the US-World.
IFF NATIONAL, GLOBAL SECULAR MARXISM WAS MEANT TO UNCONDITIONALLY RULE OR CONTROL, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR ANY US-BORN, US-RAISED ISLAMIC MAHDI/MESSIAH 2030-2050, NOW WOULD THERE???
Supporters of peace plans and a "Two-State Solution" refuse to understand the core origins of Arab terrorism against Israel. Projecting their own very generic conceptions of Western history upon the contemporary Middle East, these supporters of "peace" are still imprisoned within standard explanatory frameworks of economic disenchantment and rising expectations. Clinging stubbornly to what they had first learned in Political Science 101, they ignore what is already right before their eyes; explicit, stark, and thoroughly unambiguous:
Palestinian Arab terrorism is ultimately a conscious and current expression of primal blood sacrifice, the blood of "The Jews." For these terrorists, violence against "The Jews" is always an expression of what must be held sacred.
Among Arab terrorists, violence and the sacred are inseparable. To understand the rationale and operation of Palestinian terrorism against Israel, therefore, it is first necessary to understand PLO/Hamas/Islamic Jihad conceptions of the sacred. From these pertinent ideas, it will become clear that Arab terror against "The Jews" is, at its heart, always a primitive or primal form of religious worship.

Silly, that is not what Polysci 101 is about these days. That's so 1980-90s. It's about left-wing agendas and social justice, redistribution of wealth, multiculturalism, transnationalism, borderless countries, getting rid of oppressor countries, and NWOs (sarc).
What the MSM calls "reporting" is often just activism, careerism, and narcissism to advance the Democrat agenda. Which is itself, more often than not, is Tranzi agenda---ever more power for "cognitive elites".

As Bob Shieffer said: “We now don’t know where people get their news"
The answer is wherever they can get the truth.
News readers such as George Stuffyourpantsfullofcash get $41,000 per day for reading the propaganda? I suppose that is not so much for selling your morality and your soul. After all, you then have to live with yourself.

Madness has been unleashed on college campuses -- not by drunken frat boys but by the White House.
A wildly mishandled Obama administration campaign to combat student sexual assaults has morphed under a federal gender-equality law into a nightmarish weapon against free speech and academic freedom.
The statute, called Title IX, obligates colleges to act on sexually related complaints to protect students from a hostile environment. But enforcement now encompasses any member of a college community deemed by an accuser to have prompted discomfort in connection with his or her sex. IMO, this is a bit more serious than ISIS.

Kipnis had criticized the ban for casting professors as all-powerful predators and female students as helpless damsels, thus denying students experience navigating the complex realities of sex.
OMG, Kipnis better be careful, she might get sent to some left-wing gulag to get her head shrunk to pea size for her Title IX offense. Maybe she should look into Hillsdale College as a possible job opportunity.

John, she has already been accused, had her day in Kangaroo Court, been charged by two other female students with "retaliation" and been found not guilty. She was denied any semblance of due process to the point of being denied access to the charges against her and being denied an attorney at the inquisition. She was allowed a "support person" who was the charged by the two students. I don't have a lot of sympathy for her as she was part of the Femminist movement that

I'm much more cynical on this. As Obama has personally continued to push this process with "stats" that are known to be pure BS, he is personally invested in this. It hasn't "morphed"into anything it wasn't designed to be: a govt funded experiment in crushing due process rights.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
