Recently this video was posted on YouTube. It is similar to The Black Lives Matter in that its focus seems to be surrounding the current narrative of blacks being unfairly killed by police.
The belief of police brutality as it pertains to the black community has grown so strong that many are accepting this claim as fact without any doubts or curiosity in obtaining actual stats. In other words, the general American audience can be told just about anything and they will believe it so long as it "fits" their bias. The following video, put together by Alicia Keys and her friends in the entertainment industry, seems to capitalize on this general ignorance but, also exposes their own ignorance concerning crime in the United States.
This photo was posted on a friend's social media account and while it's interesting, something screamed out fake to me. See for yourself.
I say it's fake and here's why:
1) The position of this officer's arm is not one that would facilitate a full force swing that would be required to break glass. His arm is not even fully extended and his other arm is not being utilized.
2) Glass does not go flying on a car window like that. It is a matter of safety and it's required by law that windows on vehicles meet certain standards. Side and back windows have tempered glass.
Watch for yourself what glass does when it's hit with a bat and notice too this man is using BOTH arms.
I need to note that this is the windshield and it has laminated glass but, the point of this first video is to demonstrate how the glass in the front would behave.
Here's another video of a guy using a wrench on a rear window. This would be tempered glass.
Now, notice on this video you see the guy on only one side of the window and yet the entire window is damaged from a single blow. When a window like this is hit, you will have damage at the point of impact and you will see damage all around that point because entire window is absorbing the shock of the impact. Most large impacts will just leave the entire window collapsing.
Here's another video showing a guy using a small bat about the same size as what the officer in the picture has:
He's using this on a side window, which also has tempered glass and the window sustained no breaking whatsoever. The bat actually received the worst damage by splitting in two. Also take note of how he was holding the bat. It looks nothing similar to how the officer is standing.
3) There are three different types of camouflage that the officers are wearing, Now couple this with two different types of batons being used and again, it's not a complete giveaway but, surly it does look a bit weird. Especially when you consider the other problems with this photo.
I am told this comes from a video but have yet to see the link for the video. I am unable to confirm if this is real or not but, so far I am not impressed.
I am a huge skeptic of these memes that float around on the internet since the majority of them always end up being misleading or false. Propaganda indeed!
If you have any information on confirming this image, comment below! Until I can get some proof I'm calling fake. What are your thoughts?
While surfing the internet, I often run into articles written by people on the left who really do seem to lack understanding of conservatives and conservative ideology. In fact, many times I will see outrageous claims that have nothing to do with core conservative principles.
Anthony Weiner is caught again with his pants down and more sexting with the ladies. This revelation however seems to not deter Weiner in his bid for mayor. He thinks a simple apology is good enough.
The wife is still standing by him. Maybe she's got her own extracurricular activities.
Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner admitted today he had another extended, raunchy online sexual relationship with a young woman — just months after resigning in disgrace from Congress in a sexting scandal.
But he won't be dropping out of the race. And his wife, Huma Abedin, is standing by him.
“Anthony Weiner is up to his old tricks again. I've been in contact with a young woman who wishes to remain Anonymous. She was lured by Anthony Weiner post scandal via Facebook. They had a relationship for six months and she believed they were in love,” the Website said.
“Anthony Weiner like a true sex predator promised Anonymous many things like a job at Politico and a condo in Chicago (a place they could meet up and have sex). The relationship consisted of Anthony Weiner and Anonymous sending sexually explicit pictures of each other and having sexual conversations via phone. The best part was Anthony used an alias this time thinking this would protect him.”
This guy is a true creep. He obviously has no intention of changing his ways, which will only continue to place him in a position where he can be bribed. His desired role for being a mayor is far above his skill level and his lack of morality will only serve as a major obstacle in office.
Rachel Jeantel did her first interview post trial with CNN.
As you can see, she has been carefully scripted. She tells us that Trayvon was calm. She denies using drugs and that Trayvon used marijuana but it only made him hungry -- I guess she forgot about paranoid.
Trayvon was shot in a racially mixed neighborhood; George Zimmerman lived in that neighborhood. The very idea that George singled out Trayvon solely on race is completely absurd. Obviously he would except to see a black person walking in his neighborhood. Stop kidding yourself. It's obvious Trayvon was singled out because he wasn't acting right. He was acting weird and I challenge you to watch the video of him in the 7 Eleven.
The prosecution has methodically taken down Jodi's claims, exposing them as more lies.
They have effectively proven that if Travis was shot first he would not have been able to continue grabbing at her or have the ability to do anything that could be perceived as being a continued threat. He was alive when he was cut across the neck; this act was clearly done before the gunshot.
Travis did not have any images of women or other inappropriate content on his computer.
Travis did show Jodi affection in public. A friend of Travis testified to this while supplying the court with a video and picture as his proof.
Jodi made three purchases at a gas station, each of which was for gas specifically. The amount of gas purchased would have required her to have three gas cans, not two. Furthermore there is absolutely no record of her ever returning a gas can to Walmart. She specifically claimed on the stand that she, "never signed anything" but this is a requirement for returns at Walmart, as is a requirement for any retail store I've ever been to.
The license plates on her rented vehicle, one being completely removed the other being affixed upside down, were explained by Jodi with two different stories. First she told the police officer that she thought her friends were playing a prank on her. Then she tells the jury that she knew it must have been some "skaters" who were snickering by her car as she left Starbucks. Two completely different stories, both of them are obviously lies.
Jodi did not stand on a shelf to retrieve a gun that Travis did not own. Jodi took the gun from her grandparents' home where she was living. This .25 caliber just so happens to match the caliber that went through Travis' head.
Jodi's continued claims of being in a "fog" are illogical. Most people do remember things after they talk about them. Apparently the self-described, genius Jodi seems to have less memory pertaining to the murder. Surprisingly she can only recall the beginning of the incident where Travis is attacking her and where Travis is chasing her.
Travis does not have any pattern of domestic violence in prior relationships.
In a nutshell, Jodi obviously planned this murder and did practically everything she could to cover-up her involvement. She continued to lie and make up stories. When all else failed she pulled out the self-defense card, still refusing to reconcile facts that do not match her latest story.
I am anticipating the close of this case but it seems some more expert witnesses will be called by both the defense and prosecution. We are being told that closing arguments will begin on Thursday.
In a fantasy world Jodi would tell the truth. Just for entertainment purposes, I have come up with some questions I would like her to answer.
Q: Jodi, you have claimed that you are a photographer but in the pictures that you took the day that Travis was killed, the photos are mainly dark, out of focus, and do not look professional. Can you explain why?
Q: Why is there no record of Travis ever owning a gun? Since you have been proven to be a liar, why should anyone believe that you didn't steal the .25 caliber gun from your grandparents? This same caliber was used to shoot Travis in the head.
Q: If you were scared to go on a camping trip with some male friends to the point where you felt you needed to purchase a gun for protection, why would you even consider going in the first place? Why should we not believe that this was anything other than telling us you are willing to kill again?
Q: What happened to the rope or twine you claimed Travis tied you up with? Did this event ever actually occur?
Q: Why did you move back to California if you seemed to have no interest in cutting off communication with Travis?
Q: In your interview with detective Flores you said you thought Travis had found a woman he would like to marry. If this is what you honestly believed, and you knew that you would be an instigator of problems for this relationship if you carried on with him, why would you still continue making contact with him?
Q: There is no proof anywhere that shows or even suggests that you were afraid of Travis or that he was making demands of you. Why do you feel you were abused? Please provide proof that supports these feelings.
Q: Your memory issues only surface when it's beneficial to you. You claim that at some point you knew you had killed Travis. If this were self-defense then why didn't you immediately just go to the police with that story?
Q: I would like for you to do a demonstration. I will have someone body slam you on tile, and then you can show us how you rapidly got up and started running. The very idea that someone got body-slammed and were magically able to escape from the grips of their attacker makes no sense.
Q: At some point you have to be aware of how your lies have hurt you and others around you. Could you please explain when and why it was you started lying in the first place? Honestly explain what benefit you've received from this behavior.
Q: You have told us that you damaged Travis' car and he merely asked for you to repay him in very small increments of 100 dollars per month. Why would this same man attack you over a dropped camera?
Q: The injury on your hand is not from the finger being broken as you claim. It is clearly a sliced tendon. Why lie about this?
Q: It's obvious you dyed your hair before going to Arizona; you purchased one gas can that was not returned and borrowed the other two; you shut your phone off; you took your grandparents' gun; you insisted on renting a car that would be considered less noticeable, you turned your licence plate upside down and removed the other, all for the purposes of being able to travel through Arizona without detection. If this isn't premeditated murder than what did you do any of those things for and why would you lie about any of them?
Q: Do you really believe your story at Starbucks explaining how your licence plates got screwed up is plausible or believable? Why?
Q: Why do you think Travis had no desire to marry you? Why carry on with someone who made it clear to you and others he didn't want to marry you?
Q: If Travis was the abuser, why was it you were always showing up unannounced at his home?
Q: In the video we recently saw, you were laying in Travis' lap while he spoke to a few people around him, telling them a story. In this video you are clearly with Travis as a girlfriend yet you are the one who appears bored, tired, and uninterested. Many people who have seen this video see your actions and movements similar to someone who is jealous of the attention Travis is getting. Can you explain why you said he was never affectionate with you in public when this is untrue? Can you also explain your jealousy for Travis?
Q: After killing Travis, you made several attempts to cover up your involvement. You even called his voice mail, left him a text, and wrote him an email. Hours after the killing you were with another man. How can you explain these actions if you never had any intent on killing him?
Q: You whine about men cheating on you. In fact, it could be said you cheated on Ryan when you went to Arizona. You didn't tell him you were going and you lied to him about getting lost. Why is this behavior okay for you but not for other men? Would you feel the same if Ryan had done this to you?
Q:; You have expressed concern over your church's beliefs and how you have struggled to abide by them but you never attempted to make any changes moving in a more positive direction..Why would you belong to a church where you clearly had no intention of becoming a better member by making changes in your life?
-----------------------------
Well, that's about all I have so far. Even though there really is no reason to ask a pathological liar like Jodi any of these questions, it sure would be interesting to discover the answers were she ever to tell the truth.
Let's hope tomorrow is going to be the beginning of an end to this trial. I pray the jury makes the right decision.
Another reason I do not believe her when she says Travis was abusive to her has to do with her immediately running into the arms of Ryan, right after the murder! Abused women who finally get away are not interested in even looking at another man, let alone fully trusting another man, and they especially do not want to be kissing on them. From my own personal experience and from other women I know who have suffered at the hands of a violent male, battered women/victims of domestic violence become extremely apprehensive about getting involved with another man. It can take years for them to trust again and in some cases, never.
Again, it's just all lies and bs made up by Jodi. I truly believe she gets great entertainment from trying to fool people, even when she knows people don't believe her because she knows she is torturing people by not being honest about what happened that night. Most of all, she is torturing Travis' family. They will never know the truth because of her and this makes her pleased.
I have been trying to examine why it is so many on the left have been working so hard to demonize the Republican party. According to those on the left, we are a group of evil people who hate minorities, gays, poor people, and anyone who isn't white. Since I don't fall into most of the categories that democrats say Republicans support - white, male, rich -- I wanted to write an article about why it is I feel the Republicans are the best party to represent all Americans, rather than the democratic party that seems to want to do nothing other than separate people for political gain.
In order to do this, I must FIRST address the lies and distortions that come from the democrats who are always trying to project their own illness unto everyone else. They attempt to whitewash their history, ignoring what their party has done and then actually make efforts to blame Republicans.
First of all, the Republican party was started under Lincoln. He was the first Republican candidate to win the presidency. Blacks were first elected to Congress as Republicans and some were ex-slaves. We also know that every single piece of legislation that was passed in an effort to make blacks equal and give them equal rights were not only passed with Republicans but were strongly opposed by the democratic party. In fact the organization called the KKK (founded by democrats), was created to get rid of Republicans -- and since blacks were 100% Republican, they were a natural target for the group rooted in hate and racism. After the democrats took control in 1892, with the Presidency, the House, and Senate, they repealed all of the Republican civil rights acts and enacted Jim Crow laws.
According to democrats, the racists became Dixiecrats and then became Republican, basically prompting everyone to switch parties. The argument is totally absurd and completely false.
The idea that “the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans” is not quite true, as you note. But because of Strom Thurmond it is accepted as a fact. What happened is that the **next** generation (post 1965) of white southern politicians — Newt, Trent Lott, Ashcroft, Cochran, Alexander, etc — joined the GOP.
So it was really a passing of the torch as the old segregationists retired and were replaced by new young GOP guys. One particularly galling aspect to generalizations about “segregationists became GOP” is that the new GOP South was INTEGRATED for crying out loud, they accepted the Civil Rights revolution. Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter led a group of what would become “New” Democrats like Clinton and Al Gore.
Professor Larry Schweikart of the University of Dayton continues:
Why did a new generation white Southerners join the GOP? Not because they thought Republicans were racists who would return the South to segregation, but because the GOP was a “local government, small government” party in the old Jeffersonian tradition. Southerners wanted less government and the GOP was their natural home.
Jimmy Carter, a Civil Rights Democrat, briefly returned some states to the Democrat fold, but in 1980, Goldwater’s heir, Ronald Reagan, sealed this deal for the GOP. The new ”Solid South” was solid GOP.
BUT, and we must stress this: the new southern Republicans were *integrationist* Republicans who accepted the Civil Rights revolution and full integration while retaining their love of Jeffersonian limited government principles.
Women also benefited from Republicans. The right for women to vote was brought about by the Republicans, not the Democrats -- Here's a nice reality check for those of you that would like some details.
If we listen to the current democrat party, we can see these dems trying to scare people with their fake "war on women" and actually telling people Republicans want to take away a women's right to vote.
I myself have said I would gladly give up my vote if it meant women like the one featured above would not be allowed to vote but, I cannot name one Republican in office that has advocated taking the women's right to vote away.
Affordable, quality education? It has been the democrats who have repeatedly blocked any effort to allow poor children access to private schools through a voucher program. The Republicans have tried relentlessly to get competition among schools in order to raise the overall level of education provided to children. Blacks, poor, and other minorities are constantly the victims horribly run, government schools, especially in the inner-cities (run by democrats), yet the democrats see nothing wrong and their only solution is to deny the problem and maintain the status quo. Of course we know why - unions. The dems are fully backed by corrupt unions that protect teachers that do not do their jobs. We are only instructed to pay them more regardless if students are learning less, and regardless if teachers are preforming better.
Both parties (click to read details), have made changes concerning their stance on public education. Let's also not forget that the same democrats who are all strongly against a voucher program do not send their own children to the public schools they demand for the poor and minorities to attend; their children attend private schools.
The equal pay issue is ridiculous and quite frankly insults my intelligence. I already discussed this issue in another article I wrote, "Women and Their Equal Pay."
You can read more about how ridiculous this issue is and the sheer hypocrisy of the democrat party for bringing up this issue in the first place, click here, here, and here.
Republicans are routinely accused of not supporting things like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid but of course this is false as well. Both the Republicans and Democrats had opponents for these bills and both parties had supporters, which ultimately led to their passage. Some have argued whether these bills have been successful. The system is designed in such a way that asks current workers to pay for those that need Social Security now. Initially, there were plenty of workers for one retiree but that number has massively decreased and is expected to tilt the other way in the next 20 years. Meaning there will be one worker for 2 or 3 retirees.
Social Security was intended to be one source of your income after retirement, but not the sole source.
Yet, it seems as if democrats have been preaching to people for years, at least in my lifetime, that social security is intended to be a person's full retirement plan and when people finally wake up to the reality of social security they can use Republican's as their scapegoat. At this point the program requires major overhaul. As usual we can expect the democrats to pull their "half-truth" propaganda in order to push forward whatever their plan might be to help keep this program on life-support. As we have already witnessed during the Bush 41 years, any attempt at trying to change the program and take action has been routinely shot down and ridiculed by democrats. Only history will show that it would have been best for us to take action years ago when Bush first proposed a solution.
There are still many different issues to discuss but I wanted to bring up a few that have always disturbed me. I feel that the Republicans' message has remained fairly consistent. We have made changes here and there to reflect the people inside of the party but overall our desire has always been equality and economic growth.
All one has to do is turn on the news and see how conservative Republicans are not only attacked on ideas but that they are actually called "evil." Click here to see an interesting site dedicated to this type of rhetoric. Not only will these people lie and distort information, but instead of attacking ideas, they actually attack people. Their message does not end with people being "stupid" or "ignorant" in their minds but rather EVIL. As conservatives, we must read what they have to say in order to seek out the truth and counter these arguments with facts. Again, I say to you, it is not the people we dislike it is the reflection of who they are. They are merely projecting their own beliefs about themselves. It is their egos that have taken them over. Their egos are not who they truly are. If we can get them to question themselves in some small way, there we can begin to break down the walls they have built up around themselves.
The recent election has helped me realize a number of things but most importantly it has helped me become interested in getting out the true, loving message of what it means to be a conservative Republican. I will continue to look for issues that are distorted by the left and do my best to expose them here or lead you to others who have already done so. Together, we can turn things around.
Or...whatever you want to call it. See, the difference between a conservative and a liberal is simple. Conservatives follow a story forever and follow up on it: Liberals take the "facts" they like, stick with them, never follow up, never question themselves or their sources, and when challenged insist everyone else is stupid. In the case of global warming, it's called a "consensus" and if you are not a part of that supposed "large" crowd, you are obviously a denier!
Zimmerman is now back in jail after he surrendered himself to authorities for allegedly withholding information at his bail hearing concerning the amount of monies he has access to. This latest tactic with the prosecution is clearly a desperate move to keep Zimmerman from being able to pay his attorney fees. There is no reason for the court to inquire about donations, as they are made for Zimmerman and when those donations have been made through Paypal, it's not like he has instant access to them anyway. Also, the money is for his defense, not bail.
A person has a right to defend themselves. At this point, every single piece of evidence that supposedly proves Zimmerman's guilt has been shown to be a fraud or manipulated. So far, this is a case of someone wanting to protect his neighborhood and it turned into a horrible event of a man having to defend himself against an emotionally disturbed and violent child.
In his recent article, Deroy Murdock breaks down specifically the details surrounding the latest activity of Congress. In his article, he makes it clear that it is the Democrat controlled Senate that has been doing nothing.
Now that his “Blame Bush” hobby horse finally has retired to the glue factory, Obama resorts to pinning America’s woes on the “Do-Nothing Congress.” If only these parliamentarians would stop taking endless lunches, sipping cocktails at Capitol Hill happy hours, and napping at their desks, America might have some chance of returning to normal.
The 112th Congress has been characterized by a very active legislative pace in the Republican House, featuring the passage of many measures designed to revive America’s exhausted economy.
The Democratic Senate, meanwhile, is a much lazier place, where House Republicans’ measures go to die.
The figures bear this out, beyond debate
Through September 15, the Republican House had been in session for 120 days. The Democratic Senate through the same date had been in session only 115 days.
In terms of recorded votes, the two bodies are as different as Times Square and the Everglades. Through September 15, the GOP House had voted 711 times. Meanwhile, across the same period, the Democratic Senate had only 137 recorded votes. So, the allegedly lethargic GOP legislators whose sloth dooms the nation actually are five times as energetic as their indolent counterparts in the Democratic Senate.
Click title of this post for the full story.
Obama likes to blame everyone else but his incompetency, which is the obvious problem he has trying to run this country. Forget the fact that he's not a citizen, this is a matter of him having absolutely no experience running the government, or even a lemonade stand. His lack of education in the area economics is painfully obvious whenever he opens his mouth about "making things fair" and stealing from the rich to give to the poor philosophy.
Seems like Obama's lies are finally being brought to the light. Let's just pray these fools that originally voted for him, start to pay attention, just a little.
So, Maddow goes on her network and, claims that they are not a political organization. I love this video. It flat out nails this woman for the liar she is. She purposely distorts facts.
Either she's a total idiot or, she is a liar. You decide. I would love for her to address this video.
Typical of liberal slime, Reid falls in line denying his original statement that the war cannot be won. Of course, it's one thing to say you don't remember...maybe he's just senile. It can happen.
So, what do you think? Do you think Reid is senile or, is he flat out lying?
This is a pretty funny Obama video that exposes his flip flops. I'm not even sure that John Kerry was this bad.
I'm not even sure if he knows what his policies are. I think he just says whatever he needs to say in order to get the crowd he's speaking for to like him.
