Was George Zimmerman justified in thinking that Trayvon Martin was suspicious? Trayvon’s twitter name was NO_LIMIT_NIGGA. He had been suspended multiple times and his mother recently transferred him to a school further away. The school confiscated some women’s jewelry from Trayvon which was believed to have been stolen. Based on the 911 audio, Trayvon was in fact behaving in a very suspicious way. After the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, his friends sent out numerous tweets that they were smoking marijuana in his honor. Some of his friends even tweeted pictures of marijuana “joints” that they said were “in honor of Tray.” A prominent theory about his ...

Justice for Frank Motta! Where are the hate crime charges? Police say Lewis is a violent 18 year old black male gangbanger. He is charged with killing Frank Motta, a 65 year old good Samaritan who was trying to help a neighbor. From KXLY… Detectives say Lewis is a gang associate and had admitted hitting Motta in the jaw back on March 10. The former principal and Air Force vet fell to the ground suffering multiple skull fractures when his head hit the floor. Lewis says he got physical with Motta when the victim pushed his pregnant girlfriend, although investigators have not found any witnesses who will back up that self defense claim. In fact it’s Lewis who is accused of ...

PALMDALE, Calif (KTLA) -- Seven black teenagers are facing assault and hate crime charges after allegedly attacking a Latino youth as he walked home from school. It happened around 4 p.m. March 14 near Cactus Middle School in the 3200 block of East Avenue R-8. According to investigators, the 15-year old victim was approached by a group of up to 10 male black teenagers who challenged him to a fight, said "The suspects surrounded the victim and began punching him while several other juveniles watched," according to Deputy Robbie Royster of the L.A. Co. Sheriff's Dept. The victim reportedly fell to the ground while trying to defend himself and the suspects allegedly continued ...

If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin soon, theRev. Al Sharpton will call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions. Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against the city of Sanford specifically, but he has been critical of the police department's handling of the case. Saturday's scheduled 11 a.m. march from Crooms Academy of Information Technology to the Sanford Police Department headquarters was organized by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Coordinators said people will be bused in from other states to participate. The civil rights activist and syndicated television show ...

Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District

Former Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) made quite a fuss when he donned a "hoodie" during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out. At the time, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) "applauded his courage" for doing so. Meanwhile, back home in Rush's district, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts, or "hoodies," were the shooters in an incident that left one dead and five injured. In fact, during a span of six-hours Thursday night, 13 people were shot, leaving two dead in Chicago. It would seem it takes more courage to simply walk down the street in Rush's district than it does to wear a hooded sweatshirt in the House ...

Current TV Dismisses Keith Olbermann Current TV said Friday afternoon that it had terminated the contract of its lead anchor, Keith Olbermann, scarcely a year after he was hired to reboot the fledgling channel in his progressive political image. The cable channel indicated that he had failed to honor the terms of his five- year, $50 million contract, giving the channel the right to terminate it. Starting Friday night, the former New York Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer will take over Mr. Olbermann’s 8 p.m. time slot. In a stream of Twitter messages, Mr. Olbermann responded to Current’s announcement by stating that “the claims against me in Current’s statement are untrue and ...
US House of Representatives approves plan to destroy Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps

The US House of Representatives has adopted a budget resolution that calls for privatization of Medicare and the elimination of Medicaid, food stamps and many other federal entitlement benefits. The resolution is part of a bipartisan campaign to slash spending on social programs. All but ten of the Republican majority in the House backed the resolution—and those ten wanted even bigger cuts. All Democrats voted against the resolution, while offering their own proposals that called for somewhat less drastic cuts in spending and token tax increases on the wealthy. Not a single resolution was offered that called for increasing spending to meet social needs as the American economy ...

Hello, Internet, have you heard that people are really freaking out about tonight's Mega Millions jackpot? The details: you could win a lotto record of $640 million; you aren't going to win that $640 million (it's about $347 million after taxes, anyway). But that hasn't stopped millions of wannabe millionaires from trying. Some prime examples: The Las Vegas Sun reports that thousands of people waited on line for up to five hours at the Primm Valley Lotto Store in California (Nevada does not participate in the draw). Rosemary Martz made the 40-minute trip to the border after her shift at the Bellagio in Las Vegas ended at 7 a.m. She bought twelve tickets with her friend, ...
Rasmussen: Record Percent Support Marijuana Legalization

A record number of Americans support the legalizing and taxing marijuana, according to Rasmussen Reports. Their nationwide survey found that 47 percent of Americans agree that marijuana should be legalized, while 42 percent disagree. Ten percent are undecided. The survey was conducted on March 24-25. In October 2011, Gallup also found that Americans favor marijuana legalization now more than ever. A record-high 50 percent of Americans said the use of marijuana should be made legal, up 4 percent from last year and 14 percent from 2006. “If this current trend on legalizing marijuana continues, pressure may build to bring the nation’s laws into compliance with the people’s ...
HURT: Brutal week for Obama, the worst of his presidency

The past seven brutal days will go down as one of the worst weeks in history for a sitting president. It certainly has been, without any doubt, the worst week yet for President Obama. Somehow, Mr. Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, see his credentials for being elected so severely undermined that it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place — let alone be re-elected later this year. Consider: • Last Friday, Mr. Obama wandered into the killing of Trayvon Martin. Aided by his ignorance of the situation, knee-jerk prejudices and tendency toward racial profiling, Mr. Obama played a heavy hand in ...

Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right. Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply the past few months. It's not due to the election, and it's not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening. What is happening is that the president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator ...

Lynn Szymoniak, Foreclosure Whistleblower, Says Bank Harassing 'The Living Hell' Out Of Her

Lynn Szymoniak may have just won $18 million for uncovering massive, systemic foreclosure fraud. But that doesn't mean her troubles are over. Szymoniak, a white-collar attorney who became famous last year as the whistleblower in a far-reaching foreclosure fraud case, is still enmeshed in conflict with Deutsche Bank, which foreclosed on Szymoniak's Florida home in 2008. Deutsche Bank is now calling forth a parade of maintenance workers -- including Szymoniak's plumber, landscaper and pool repair crews -- in what Szymoniak described to the Palm Beach Post as an effort to "harass the living hell out of me." It's been an eventful few years for Szymoniak, so ...

Jesse Jackson for politicizing the Trayvon Martin shooting and leveraging racial tensions to rile up Americans. Conservative activist Dr. Alveda King, now the director of African-American outreach at Priests for Life and the founder of King For America, said she hopes Sharpton and Jackson stop “stirring up the people without positive solutions” in Sanford, Fla., and elsewhere in the U.S. “I would believe that, by stirring up all of the emotions and reactions, I wanted to encourage them to remember the man that they say that they followed, to remember that his message ...

GOP Lawmakers Appeal To Obama To Negotiate With Congress To Avert Defense Cuts

WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers are pleading with President Barack Obama to negotiate with Congress to avert automatic, across-the-board military cuts that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said would be devastating. Seven senators warn that the $50 billion reductions that would kick in next January would mean thousands of jobs lost and hardship for the Pentagon. They told reporters Thursday that the issue can’t wait until a lame-duck congressional session in December. Obama and congressional Republicans agreed last summer to cut projected defense spending by $487 billion over a decade. But the failure of Congress to come up with at least $1.2 trillion in cuts last November ...
George Zimmerman Shows No Visible Injuries in Video Taken After Killing

Although George Zimmerman claimed to police that he was pummeled and had his nose broken by Trayvon Martin just before he pulled his gun and shot the teenager to death, a Sanford Police Department surveillance video shows no apparent signs that he had been in a fight of the kind he described. An initial police report said that he was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head and that he received first aid from the Sanford Fire Department. He told police Trayvon knocked him down, and began bashing his head against the ground, and a witness account seemed to corroborate Zimmerman’s claim. His lawyer said his nose was broken in the scuffle. (PHOTOS: Trayvon Martin’s Death ...

Americans Say African-Americans Should Help Themselves Written on March 28, 2012 by Daniel Greystone Conservatives know people who rely on the Federal Government for their living become the foot soldiers of the ‘Democratic Machine.’ But the question is, “How do Americans feel about those who are poor that are getting money from the Federal Government?” In a country where free enterprise is supported (like America used to be) everyone’s standard of living improved when the economy was good. When the government decides to intervene, we drop back to the lowest common denominator. This is called being poor and the government knows who you are and what neighborhood you ...
Barack Obama: I Have A “Moral Obligation” To Neuter America (no nukes; whom is he surrendering to?)

Barack Obama actually plans to do it. He actually plans to neuter America by unilaterally dismantling most of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal. In fact, Barack Obama says that the United States has a "moral obligation" to disarm as we lead the way to "a world without nuclear weapons". Sadly, a "world without nuclear weapons" is a fantasy that will not be possible any time soon. Nuclear weapons technology is getting into more hands with each passing year, and geopolitical tensions are rising all over the globe. If the United States did not have nuclear weapons, anyone with just a handful of nukes would constitute a massive threat to our national security. An ...
Jetblue Pilot Clayton Osbon Ranting About ‘Sins’ When He Flipped Out At 35,000 Feet On JFK-Las Vegas Flight: FBI

The jetBlue pilot who flipped out at 35,000 feet was suffering from some kind of religious mania, according to an FBI affidavit released Wednesday. About three hours into the flight, Capt. Clayton Osbon started ranting about the “sins in Las Vegas” and delivered what the first officer called a “sermon.” Most terrifyingly, he began turning off instruments and declared the crew needed to take “a leap of faith,” the FBI said. Osbon also talked incoherently of the 150 “souls” on board Flight 191. The affidavit, based on interviews with the first officer who saved the plane, an off-duty pilot who helped land it, and two flight attendants, says Osbon ...

After several heart attacks and operations, and now a complete heart transplant, I wish Mr. Cheney well and a speedy recovery. Soon, millions of Americans will find out their fate for the future of health care coverage for themselves and their families. It all rests in the hands of the Supreme Court and more specifically, five of the most right-wing, activist partisan ideologues, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia (RATS) one inaptly named swing vote, Anthony Kennedy who votes mostly with his 4 Republican-appointed colleagues. We will know whether the Affordable Health Care Act survives in part, or not at all. That is the fate for millions of struggling American citizens with zero health care ...

(CNN) - While the Obama administration fights to protect the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Democratic strategist and CNN contributor James Carville said a Supreme Court overruling may not be such a bad thing for the president, politically. "I think this will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Democratic Party," Carville said Tuesday on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." He added: "You know, what the Democrats are going to say, and it is completely justified, 'We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority'."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Tuesday blocked legislation that would impose a new sanctions on Iran. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) had hoped to quickly pass the bill by unanimous consent. But Paul objected and introduced an amendment stating that any use of military force against Iran must be authorized by Congress. “Our Founding Fathers were quite concerned about giving the power declare war to the Executive,” Paul said on the Senate floor. “They were quite concerned that the Executive could become like a king.” “Before sending our young men and women into combat, we should have a mature and thoughtful debate over the ramifications of and over the ...
