At This Point, Is It Really Wise to Get in a Poo Fight With the Pope?

Just Seems Like an Unnecessary Distraction to me.....

The Obamas Won't be Attending Justice Scalia's Funeral, but Here are Six They Did Find Time to Attend....

While our disrespectful semi-retired President will probably be playing golf, and the First Wench will be doing what ever she does on our dime.......it seems they both have a few 'I Don't Give a Sh*ts' they haven't used yet, and Justice Scalia’s funeral apparently doesn’t warrant Obama’s respectful presence. But here are six funerals that did.....

The Daily Caller

Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI)

Less than two months before the 2012 election, both Obamas took time out of their schedule to attend the funeral of Senator Inouye. President Obama openly wept over the liberal senator.

Hadiya Pendleton

Three days before his 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama sent Michelle on his behalf to the funeral of 15 year-old shooting victim Hadiya Pendleton. Obama’s decision to send Michelle to the Chicago teen’s funeral set the stage for his SOTU address, in which he called for further gun control restrictions.

Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV)

Despite Robert Byrd’s well-known ties to the Ku Klux Klan, President Obama attended the Democratic senator’s funeral. Obama gave a speech at the ceremony and called the late senator his friend.

Reverend Clementa Pinckney

Reverend Pinckney, who also served as a South Carolina state senator, was one of the nine people killed in the Charleston shooting last summer. Despite never having met Pinckney, President Obama delivered his eulogy.

Former Democratic House Speaker Tom Foley

Just six months after snubbing the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, President Obama attended the funeral of former Democratic Speaker of the House Tom Foley. As he tends to do when actually attending funerals, Obama delivered a speech.

Walter Cronkite

 When the legendary newscaster passed away in September 2009, President Obama found room in his schedule to travel to New York for the memorial service. Once again, Obama gave a speech at the service. He had openly admitted that he never met Cronkite.

Barack, what a hell of a guy, eh? 

Obama To Visit The Paradise of Cuba Next Month

Barack's Wet Dream

CNN- President Barack Obama will visit Cuba next month, multiple U.S. and diplomatic sources told CNN on Wednesday. The White House is expected to announce the trip Thursday. One U.S. source described the anticipated visit as short.

"We can confirm that (Thursday) the administration will announce the President's travel to Latin America, including Cuba, in the coming weeks," according to a senior administration official.

The trip, long expected, comes after Obama's administration formally reopened ties with Havana in late 2014, following a half-century of enmity.

Unofficial word is sources in the Cuban government leaked that a request the First Lady not accompany the visiting President in fear she might tip the island over....

Feds Create a Database to Track “Suspicious” Internet Memes

Tools of the Dissident - The Famous Subversive Triad 

This may not be the most money that the government has spent on a frivolous project, but it shows that they really are willing to funnel large sums of money into programs that accomplish nothing. Also, this project exposes the extent of the federal government’s paranoia about dissent and alternative political information.

The Free Thought Project

Washington DC – The federal government spent $1 million to create an online database that will collect “suspicious” memes and track “misinformation.” The project, which is known as the “Truthy Database” is being funded by The National Science Foundation, but it seems as if the operation has some powerful political motivations.

Ironically enough, the project takes its name from a term that was popularized by television personality, Stephen Colbert.

The project will seek to understand how misinformation is spread online, but it will be up to a team of government-funded researchers at Indiana University to decide what type of political speech is true and which is false.

“The project stands to benefit both the research community and the public significantly. Our data will be made available via [application programming interfaces] APIs and include information on meme propagation networks, statistical data, and relevant user and content features. The open-source platform we develop will be made publicly available and will be extensible to ever more research areas as a greater preponderance of human activities are replicated online. Additionally, we will create a web service open to the public for monitoring trends, bursts, and suspicious memes. This service could mitigate the diffusion of false and misleading ideas, detect hate speech and subversive propaganda, and assist in the preservation of open debate,” the grant said.

The website for the project goes on to explain the importance of memes in their research, and their intentions to find out exactly where certain memes originate.

If Paul McCartney Were to Show Up at Your Party…

The Spectacle

Now I've seen everything.

"After the Grammys, Paul McCartney was actually denied entrance into a post-Grammy party hosted by rapper Tyga. The former Beatle was turned away along with Beck and Foo Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

McCartney took it in good humor stating, “How VIP do we gotta get? We need another hit guys, we need another hit.” He then turned to Beck and said, “Work on it.”

This is yet another diss for Beck. After being upstaged at the Grammys last year by Kanye West, you'd think being in tow with Paul McCartney would spare him any further indignity. Nope. One might question Macca's judgment in attending a party being thrown by a rapper. But Sir Paul is open minded kind of guy even at 73."

_______________________

The irony on display here is lost to approximately no person. It shows the arrogance and disrespect for people who helped paved the way. The attitude and general state of the Black music is reverting back to it's primitive beginnings along with it's artist, sung yelled in an angry voice in barely understandable language, dancers jumping around like animals or hallucinogen effected warriors to a an annoying repetitious beat.  Gone are the melodic rhythms of a Marvin Gaye and the socially relevant lyrics of a Curtis Mayfield or the inviting story telling of a B.B.King.  

If the three all had been buxom blonde white girls wanting to attend the party, I'm sure things would have been different......

So if Paul McCartney Shows Up at Your Party…Do Me a Favor,
Open The Door & Let Him In.
 

Replacing Justice Scalia

Sen. McConnell vows that the choice of a successor to Justice Scalia, given the historic and long-reaching nature of the choice, should be that of the new president, whoever he or she may be. This is brave and defiant talk, unfortunately brave Republican talk often dissolves under pressure. Sen. McConnell must buck up the courage of his troops when they hear the sound of the guns. Everything is riding on it. Everything!

Given the huge racial and cultural divide in the country, and the fact that this president, above all others has made no bones about his EFF YOU AMERICA and use the courts to circumvent the people's elected Congress and push through his own agenda, it only makes sense that we defer to the American people who will elect a new president to select the next Supreme Court Justice.

This is All You Need to Remind Yourself How Much the Next Election Matters
