Black officer shoots and kills white unarmed man

Black officer shoots and kills white unarmed man Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? Unarmed White Man Killed By Black Cop; Here’s How The Media Reacted. While national news media continue to focus on race in Ferguson, Missouri, where a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, they apparently don’t think a similar case in Utah with the races reversed is that newsworthy. Police in Salt Lake City are continuing their probe into an Aug. 11 shooting outside a 7-Eleven convenience store, when a black police officer, whom local media are referring to as “not white,”… View Article

Ferguson is the epicenter of denial

Ferguson is the epicenter of denial Exclusive: Ted Nugent shares lessons from Michael Brown death, ensuing riots Immediately upon the conclusion of St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Robert McCulloch’s press conference and grand-jury decision, I wrote a brief, commonsense statement of “lessons learned in Ferguson MO” on my Facebook page. You know, the basics of life: Don’t let your kids grow up to be thugs who think they can steal, assault and attack cops as a way of life and badge of black (dis)honor. Don’t preach your racist BS “no justice no peace” as blabbered by Obama’s racist czar Al… View Article

Pipeline politics could fuel talk of Alberta separation

Pipeline politics could fuel talk of Alberta separation Few people are indifferent to the prospect of global warming, but that doesn’t mean that greenhouse gas emissions should cloud the debate over construction of new pipelines. Unless we’re going to ban automobiles and other forms of transportation, such as buses and jets, the focus should be on reducing the amount of emissions that are discharged into the air, not on preventing Alberta oil from getting to market. Such common sense is apparently lost on U.S. President Barack Obama, who has been told repeatedly by his officials that the Keystone XL pipeline… View Article

Doug Ford opts out of PC leadership race Controversial Toronto city councillor Doug Ford announced Thursday he would not join the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race, something he’d been talking about since he finished a strong second in the city’s mayoral race last month.

Obama: Americans Have No Right To Favor Americans

Obama: Americans Have No Right To Favor Americans No distinction between native-born Americans and future migrants The only Americans who can legitimately object to immigration are native Indian-Americans, President Barack Obama told his Chicago audience Nov. 24, as he made an impassioned ideological plea for endless immigration, cultural diversity and a big government to manage the resulting multicultural society. “There have been periods where the folks who were already here suddenly say, ‘Well, I don’t want those folks,’ even though the only people who have the right to say that are some Native Americans,” Obama said, rhetorically dismissing the right… View Article
