Don't Understand Why There Isn't More Outrage for Killings

Every time I turn on the news I hear all about how bad the Police are and how racist we all are.  What I don't understand is, where is all this same outrage for the thousands of senseless killings by the thugs on the streets of all of our cities?

I don't really give a crap whether they are black, white, green, yellow or brown!!! 

When you hear on the news of kids being shot and killed because they are caught in the crossfire or whatever reason, there should be a full on outrage.  Everyone should demand they be brought to justice.

Nope.  There is no Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder or President Obama.  They only get involved in issues where they can call it a race issue. 

The streets of America's Cities are under attack by people who quite frankly don't give a shit about any laws or what color of skin you have.  That is a problem for all of us to have to deal with.  The race issue is just making it harder and harder to actually solve.

Police Officers have a tough job.  Not in a million years would you get me to do that job.  They have to go into these areas where crime is super high and have little support for the people they are helping.  They are out manned and in many cases out armed.  Many of the criminals they take off the street are put right back out there because of the criminal justice system. 

Sure there are Police Officers that are over the top and need to be taken off the streets.  I am sure that the rioting and narrative that we saw after the Ferguson debacle really helped with that.  Not.  That was a very poor example that the media and the black leadership tried to use as a race issue. 

Watch the news in any big city in America and you will here of the many shootings and murders every day.  In Milwaukee those shootings and murders involve the black community 80% of the time.  That is where the outrage should be.  That is where Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder and President Obama should be.  We have seen too many young kids killed and involved in these events.  Where is the outrage? 

When a black male is shot does it matter who shot them?  It should be an outrage period.  It should be an outrage every time someone is killed.  Race should be irrelevant.

Wisconsin Legislature to Take Up "Right to Work" Legislation

Anyone who didn't think this was going to be on the agenda had to be living in fantasy land.  Many other states have moved toward this direction and with Act 10 passing and showing additional support since it's passing, you knew "Right to work" legislation had to come up quickly.

JS Online:

Madison — After years of seeking to change the subject, the top leader in the state Senate made clear Thursday that lawmakers in his house would debate the issue of so-called "right-to-work" legislation within weeks.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) told conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes of WTMJ-AM (620) that he was considering so-called "open shop" legislation to prohibit employers from striking deals with unions to require workers to pay dues. It was a marked shift from the general election rhetoric of Republicans in recent months who have said that the issue is a distraction.
"We can't tiptoe through this session without addressing this. We're not tackling this six months from now. We're not tackling this a year from now...there's no way we avoid this issue. We have to deal with this issue right now," Fitzgerald said.

His comments come as conservative state Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) vowed this week to introduce a bill to do that and as a longtime activist in the state with ties to national groups has started an organization to promote the legislation.

Fitzgerald said that he would be willing to have the Senate vote first on the measure. Given that the support for it is even stronger in the state Assembly, that was a powerful statement that support among conservative lawmakers for the idea could be too strong to stop.

Obama Appoints "Bold & the Beautiful" Producer as Ambassador

This is how it works in Politics.  Be a big fundraiser for a politician and land a cushy job.

CNN:

Asked at the daily press briefing what makes "The Bold and The Beautiful" producer Colleen Bell qualified to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, White House spokesman Josh Earnest didn't exactly have an explanation.

"(She's) somebody who obviously has succeeded in, you know, in the business world," Earnest said.

"And she is somebody that the President has confidence will be able to maintain our relationship with the government and the people of Hungary."

Earnest also denied that Bell's hand in raising millions of dollars for the President's re-election campaign had anything to do with her appointment.

"Well, I can tell you that that's not the reason she was chosen," he said.

Earnest said the reason Bell was nominated for the post was because the President "has complete confidence in her ability to represent the United States in that country."

But not everyone will be satisfied with that answer.

Just hours before, Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, blasted Bell's nomination on the Senate floor.
"We're about to vote on a totally unqualified individual to be ambassador to a nation which is very important to our national security interests," he said.

"I am not against political appointees ... but here we are, a nation that's on the verge of seceded its sovereignty to a neo-fascist dictator getting in bed with Vladimir Putin and we're gonna send the producer of 'The Bold and the Beautiful' as our ambassador," McCain said.

Bell was confirmed to the position Tuesday by a Democrat-led Senate. The chamber also confirmed Noah Mamet, another Democratic fundraiser, as the ambassador to Argentina.

This is not the first diplomatic position the President has selected Bell for. In 2010, Obama appointed Bell to the President's Advisory Committee on the Arts at the Kennedy Center.

Report of Staffer Raping Women Overshadowed by Staffer Writing About Obama Children

I am sure that the media will have a good answer for this.  While they are in a full blown tizzy about a Republican staffer writing on social media about the Obama Children, a Democratic staffer was quietly pleading guilty to sexual assault of women.  Nope not a top story.

Right Wisconsin:

 
Donny Ray Williams Jr., 37, who served as a staff director for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee, pleaded guilty to third-degree sexual abuse, two misdemeanor counts of sexual abuse and one count of misdemeanor threats.
 
Prosecutors say that on July 22, 2010, Williams invited a female congressional colleague to his Capitol Hill apartment and promised to introduce her to Senate employees. At the house, prosecutors said, Williams spiked a drink with Ambien. The woman, according to court documents, fell into a “deep sleep,” at which point Williams raped her.
 
A month later, prosecutors said, Williams invited another woman to his home and gave her alcoholic beverages. They said he had sexual contact with her when she was too intoxicated to give her consent.
 
Williams had been indicted on 10 counts, but prosecutors agreed to dismiss the remaining charges. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors said they would seek a suspended prison term and five years of supervised probation. Williams also would have to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
 
Donny Ray Williams Jr.'s tenure in Washington included a stint working for Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl. Williams also worked for Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and panels chaired by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA).
 
News of Williams' guilty plea was overshadowed by the overwhelming coverage of fired Republican staffer Elizabeth Lauten, who posted criticism of President Obama's daughters on Facebook. The Washington Free Beacon documented the media frenzy over Lauten.

Court Ruling Could Have Major Implications on President's Immigration Plan

This Court Ruling could put major restraints on President's Immigration move.

Watchdog.org:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a ruling that could short-circuit one of President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, a federal court has allowed U.S. tech workers to challenge extensions of foreign laborers’ status here.

The case of Washington Alliance of Technology Workers v. the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has “major implications” for the president’s ability to expand the number of work visas and the terms or durations of those visas, said Dale Wilcox, executive director of the Immigration Reform Law Institute.

The lawsuit was brought by attorney John Miano and IRLI on behalf of several displaced American workers.

“The Obama administration and its congressional allies have repeatedly stated that they believed the president’s executive memos were immune from judicial review in federal court,” Wilcox said.
The decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia “demonstrates that this is not true,” Wilcox stated.

Charles Barkley Gets it on Ferguson

Charles Barkley is 100% Right.

FOX News:

"The true story came out from the grand jury testimony," the Hall of Fame forward told radio host Mike Missanelli last week on Philadelphia’s sports radio station The Fanatic.
Noting that several black witnesses corroborated Wilson’s version of events, saying Brown attacked him and went for his gun, Barkley accused the press of using dubious information to inflame passions.
"I can’t believe anything I hear on television anymore,” the former Philadelphia 76er said. “And that’s why I don’t like talking about race issues with the media anymore, because [the media] love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. The media shouldn’t do that. They never do that when black people kill each other. "
Barkley called those who reacted to the decision by rioting "scumbags."
"There is no excuse for people to be out there burning down people's businesses, burning down police cars," he said.
And unlike protesters who have likened police in minority neighborhoods to an occupying force, Barkley said the black community owes a debt of gratitude to cops.
“[W]e have to be really careful with the cops, because if it wasn’t for the cops we would be living in the Wild, Wild West in our neighborhoods," he said. "We can’t pick out certain incidentals that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad.... Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops?”
Barkley’s words were in sharp contrast to the actions of several current athletes. On Sunday, St. Louis Rams football players Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt took the field and raised their hands in homage to the "hands up, don't shoot," rallying cry of Michael Brown supporters.
But Barkley has always spoke his mind, often going against the grain. In 2013, Barkley said he agreed with the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., in another case that inflamed racial tensions.
