[Breitbart London] Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) wondered how Al Sharpton has avoided going to prison for tax evasion on Thursday's "Your World With Neil Cavuto" on the Fox News Channel.
"I'm trying to figure out why Al Sharpton isn't in federal prison for tax evasion" he declared.
Clarke then blasted Sharpton's call for a national police force, saying that national police are a bad idea because of civil liberties and states rights concern, he added "I find it interesting he has so much faith in the federal government, when in the 1960s the FBI surveilled Dr. Martin Luther King during the civil rights movement, and then went on a smear campaign to discredit him, now all of a sudden he trusts the federal government." And "I bet he wouldn't make this recommendation if a Republican president was in the White House, and who had appointed a more conservative United States Attorney General."

Well, he has only visited the white house 70 or so times in the last few years. I wonder if that may have something to do with the answer to his question?

Wouldn't do any good to put Al in jail. His buddy O would just pardon him. And if the racist justice system found some other trumped up charge (that would put you or me away for 10-20), O would just pardon him again.

[ALMANAR.LB] Hossain al-Bokheiti - Middle East Eye
Yemen: Saudi-led war on YemenMy country, Yemen, is under attack by an autocratic monarchy whose campaign of Arclight airstrikes is fuelled by a desire for regional domination. The nine Arab states currently bombing Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... with the aim of restoring Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi as president are headed by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , an oil-rich kingdom that lashes activists for tweeting and imprisons women for driving.
The Arclight airstrikes they launched last month are crippling Yemen. Airports, bridges, wheat silos, power plants, gas stations, food trucks, schools, a football field, and a camp for the displaced have all been hit. Hundreds of people have been killed, including women and kiddies. And an air and naval blockade has brought the economy to its knees.
Reading the op-ed published in the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... on Monday by Hadi, it is hard to tell if he is talking about the same country. Perhaps this is because he abandoned Yemen last month and fled to Saudi Arabia. His masters in Riyadh command Yemen's skies but have no grasp of what is happening on the ground. The column speaks to his desperate lack of leadership: with Yemen facing its most grave crisis in decades Hadi did not address his own people, he wrote to America.
Accusing the Houthis of being "backed by Iran" and of "committing acts of aggression", Hadi made several references to the people of Yemen. But who are the Yemeni people Hadi is talking about? If they are behind him, as he says, would he be fleeing from one place to another like a criminal?
And where is this Iran Hadi speaks of? Here in Yemen we only see American drones and now foreign war planes destroying our country. Has Iran ever attacked Yemen? Sent troops? Bombed Yemeni factories? Ask a Yemeni what Hadi achieved during his two years in office and the answer will invariably be the same: nothing. Instead of building institutions, Hadi allowed the government to rot, the old regime to resurface, and his allies to loot what remained of the country's resources.
A hollow president, Hadi has called on foreign powers to do his fighting for him, destroying Yemen's infrastructure and army in the process. In 1994, when civil war broke out between north and south Yemen, Hadi betrayed his fellow southerners and fought alongside former president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... in the north. On 25 March 2015 when he fled to Riyadh, Hadi betrayed the entire country.
In contrast to Hadi, the Houthis, a politically ambitious movement from north Yemen, have decided to fulfill the goals of the 2011 revolution and deliver on their promises: removing and bringing corrupt criminals to justice, stopping US drone strikes and forming a new government. At the same time they have continued fighting Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP), a violent group that flourished under the rule of Saleh.
As a movement led by Abdulmalik al-Houthi, a man in his early thirties, the Houthis have gained popular support among young people. In al-Houthi's calls for a new Yemen, people see a way to turn the failed 2011 revolution into a successful example for change.
Looking at the failed "Arab spring" in Syria and Libya, the Houthis succeeded in providing public services and security in areas they controlled. Most Yemeni cities, including the capital Sanaa, have barely any electricity. People have to buy water privately and use generators to provide their business and home with electricity. In Houthi-controlled areas, electricity is provided by generators which are funded and built by the people. According to the Ministry of Interior, the Houthis' stronghold of Sadaa has the lowest crime rates and some of the highest tax revenues in Yemen.
With wars raging in Libya, Iraq and Syria and terrorist groups declaring their own states, Yemen has been a different story with AQAP losing control of the towns of al-Jowf, Arhab, Ibb, Radaa as well as Bayda city.
Many people in Yemen believe the US is at least partly to blame for the failure of the Arab spring. Especially in Syria and Libya, America's allies - Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... and Saudi Arabia - have funded terrorist groups with the aim of destroying armies and infrastructure and crushing hope for change. The Houthis are here to turn this counter-revolution around so that the demands of 2011 can finally be realised.
Hossain al-Bokheiti is a Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... activist based in Yemen

A welcome change of policy, from the passing of the old King. Here's hoping we will see something of the same in 2016.

In the difficult contest for most detestable ally surely saudi is worse than iran. Why would the us support Mordor unseating a houthi government in yemen i am not quite sure i follow the logic

It is idle to pretend: Hillary R. Clinton will be the next president. A nation capable of electing, and then re-electing, Barack Hussein Obama is perfectly ready to make the most influential woman in the world the most powerful person on this planet.
The math is on her side (and let us not imagine that the Evil Party will select anyone but her). Millions of real Americans are dying every year, and a new melange -- including millions of recently naturalized Third World welfare-scroungers, and further millions of native-born, identity-challenged postmodernians -- are taking their place.
Even if the GOP were to field a decent, hard-working, self-made patriot willing to challenge her Weltanschauung (a most unlikely prospect), she would prevail. The electorate in the swing states has been moving her way, relentlessly, for years. The Republican candidate will be some Jeb Cruz-Rubio figure, devoid of interesting ideas and courage. Her 2016 victory will be convincing.

... the GOP candidate (esp Cruz and Rubio) devoid of interesting ideas and courage
Who the fvck is this assclown? Dr Dickhead, I wish my unit had let your shitty little town blow the hell up back when we were "peacekeeping" in Bosnia.
We should have killed more serbian assholes like you after we crossed the Sava river. The Bosniaks muslims were no gems either but the Serbs were wannabe genocidal proto-nazi rats, and Banja Luke was their main hub. We should have burned it to the ground if this is indicative of the kinds of assholes we ended up saving.

It comes from having to be more controlled when working with this stuff long ago for political flag officers and assorted IC career bureaucrats. I can be blunt here. I couldn't be blunt elsewhere.

You have to admit, it is interesting how much attention she has received for acting like the peculiar old woman - leaving sunglasses on inside while attempting to use technology, getting lost in the parking lot, having odd drinks.

And we have already had two decades of Hillarity! beginning with the first lady, then on to da Nu Yawk years, culminating in the primary against Barack Bin Laden, and then SOS for everyone except those in Libya, a breather while Billy's pederasting scandal blew over, and here we are making like a road apple and hitting the trail.

Interesting.
When Pedobill took office in 1992
New Kids on the Block were still performing, as was Frank Zappa and Selena.
They were still trying to figure out how to package Compact Disks.

Do not underestimate Lurch Kerry or Biden, whom have wanted to be POTUS since the 1970's = Vietnam War.
Nor the "Dark Horse" - iff POTUS Clinton was the first "Black" POTUS + presaged Obama, + Obama himself is the first [indigenous = ethnic]"Native American/Ameri-Indian" POTUS, then Obama may be presaging BOBBIE JINDAL albeit Jindal is an Indian-American [New Delhi = South Asia] + NOT a Native American or Ameri-Indian per se.
[JUDICIALWATCH.ORG] ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas, according to Judicial Watch sources that include a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector.
The exact location where the terrorist group has established its base is around eight miles from the U.S. border in an area known as "Anapra" situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in Puerto Palomas, targets the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming for easy access to the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm.
During the course of a joint operation last week, Mexican Army and federal law enforcement officials discovered documents in Arabic and Urdu, as well as "plans" of Fort Bliss -- the sprawling military installation that houses the US Army's 1st Armored Division. Moslem prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.
Law enforcement and intelligence sources report the area around Anapra is dominated by the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Cartel ("Juárez Cartel"), La Línea (the enforcement arm of the cartel) and the Barrio Azteca (a gang originally formed in the jails of El Paso). Cartel control of the Anapra area make it an extremely dangerous and hostile operating environment for Mexican Army and Federal Police operations.
According to these same sources, "coyotes" engaged in human smuggling -- and working for Juárez Cartel -- help move ISIS Lions of Islam through the desert and across the border between Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, New Mexico. To the east of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, cartel-backed "coyotes" are also smuggling ISIS Lions of Islam through the mostly non-existent border between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas. These specific areas were targeted for exploitation by ISIS because of their understaffed municipal and county police forces, and the relative safe-havens the areas provide for the unchecked large-scale drug smuggling that was already ongoing.
Mexican intelligence sources report that ISIS intends to exploit the railways and airport facilities in the vicinity of Santa Teresa, NM (a US port-of-entry). The sources also say that ISIS has "spotters" located in the East Potrillo Mountains of New Mexico (largely managed by the Bureau of Land Management) to assist with terrorist border crossing operations. ISIS is conducting reconnaissance of regional universities; the White Sands Missile Range; government facilities in Alamogordo, NM; Ft. Bliss; and the electrical power facilities near Anapra and Chaparral, NM.

you don't suppose that little scary bit of domestic training our military did the last two weeks had any connection to this do you?
#2
The Jihad is coming to Amerika, + unfortunately it doesn't appear the Commies-Socialists + Unitarian Govt. can control the Hard Boyz, to include bribing them to stop any domestic terror.
KILLING A LOT OF THEM IS NOT THE SAME AS DE FACTO STOPPING THEM.
Moreso iff ...
* FYI BIGNEWSNETWORK > [WorldTribune] HELLO, IRAN - AND WID NORTH KOREA - ALREADY HAS NUKES AND MISSLES AND IS ON THE MOVE.
Instead of Conventional Close Air Support of the Hard Boyz, the latter will have Nuclear Close Air/Aerospace Support to protect their TerrOps.
And remember, these are Individuals + Cells + Groups, NOT "ORGANIZED/SOVEREIGN NATION-STATES" I.E. COUNTRIES OR REGIONS, ETC.
#8
and those of us that wanted secure borders did so because we were racists who hate Mexicans... If ISIS does strike I hope they hit the assholes who stopped us from securing the border.
#9
Keep in mind that AZ wanted to secure the border but the Federal Government (Eric Holder) sued to stop them from enforcing the border. Keep that in mind when (not if) something happens.
Of course if something does happen Eric and his boss would never be held responsible. Instead the media will probably blame the AZ Governor for not enforcing the border....
#11
When, there is a mass killing by jihadis here on our soil, I wouldn't give ten cents for certain individuals lives from that point on. By mass killing, I mean gunmen on the ground butchering citizens.

* TOPIX > [Daily Pundit] RADICAL MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN SNEAKING ACROSS THE MEXICAN BORDER [into the US] FOR YEARS.
* SAME > ISIS CAMP IN MEXICO HITS OBAMA WID DOSE OF REALITY.
Perhaps more correctly our mighty GOP-Dem Unitarian establishment in Washington outside of the Bammer Admin.
Safe to say that Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama + aligned would argue that stopping the ISIS + other MilTerrs in Mexico would be Mexico's problem, NOT Amerika's - DITTO AS PER CANADA + GREENLAND.
* E.G. WORLD NEWS > [ABC News] US AMBASSADOR:
"WE'RE DOING THE VERY BEST WE CAN" FOR AMERICANS IN YEMEN.
That's NOT what I would call it.
Despite the USN's Fifth Fleet HQ being in Bahrain, the dominance of US CVBGS around the world, US RDFS/RRFS, + worldwide USAF AIRLOGCOM, + despite being capable of easily forcing entry or re-entry into Yemen ala Caesar + Roman Legions crossing the Rhine in/out of Gaul + Germania, OWG GLOBALIST USoAMERIKA ENDS UP CHOSING TO DEPEND ON ITS ALLIES TO SAVE ITS OWN CITIZENS-NATIONALS + OTHER IN YEMEN.
The INN disclosed these warnings from Admiral Gortney:
That the Pentagon now believes North Korea has mastered the ability to miniaturize its nuclear bombs so they can be fitted onto their latest mobile KN-08 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), which are capable of reaching the continental United States.
At the news conference, Adm. Gortney flatly stated, Pyongyang has "the ability to put a nuclear weapon on a KN-08 and shoot it at the homeland [the continental United States]." He expressed confidence that the US could knock down such a missile if launched by North Korea or its ally, Iran.
He also admitted, however, that it is "very difficult" for the U.S. to counter the threat, because its intelligence is unable to follow the mobile ICBMs and give an efficient warning before they are launched.

Given it won't be a barrage, but a handful at best, with limited ability in targeting, their most likely targets will probably be Big Blue metro areas. Karma is a bitch.

The blue cities will be able to defend themselves with an impenetrable barrier made of print-outs of editorials making fun of RWR's "Star Wars" plan.

Whoah buddy, can't launch nukes without turning in, in triplicate, an environmental impact study, with consideration of Native American relics, to the EPA. In the meantime the Sierra Club will be reviewing how green your ICBM systems are.
#8
The only reason cold war era strategic bombers (BUFFs) are still in use is because of rotational maintenance and active mission duty.
When has anybody fired a ICBM, other than TV art?
StarWars was an offensive economic depletion strategy. Not a defense.
#9
Does anybody really believe the Russian push into the Crimea is strictly about the composition of population demographic? The region should be stabilized as Russian just about in time for Russia to reassert itself as, perhaps, the only dominant space power.
#10
In this Age of OWG-NWO = future Space Govt-Order, Global Prompt Strike, Orbital Strike, StarStrike, + Space Defense, etc, the best methods remain either preemptive strike, or in alterna hitting 'em at their missle platforms i.e. point-of-launch.
As things stand at present, unless something changes the US can defend itself only in mid-phase or post-mid-phase flight after an Enemy ICBM, etc. has already effectively or successfully launched.
The above being said, IRAN = US' CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLING + BFF IN THE ME + GULF, WHILE NOKOR = NEEDS NUKES TO DETER PEACETIME ANDOR WARTIME CHINESE TAKEOVER OF THEIR COUNTRY FOR ANY REASON. + HENCE TO FOSTER OR ENABLE DE FACTO INTER-KOREAN REUNIFICATION, AKA "CHANGING THE STATUS QUO" IN NE ASIA.
Again, Russia + China + Iran, etc, cannot rise to OWG Globalist desired "US-style", "Nuclear", Co-Superpower Sibling-hood unless the US per se voluntarily or unilaterally falls back across the World giving up its Cold War + post-Cold War, post-9-11 power-n-influence to the former.
* PROBLEM/FUBAR = GLOBIES HAVE NOT YET ANSWERED HOW MUCH IS "TOO MUCH", OR HOW FAR IS "TOO FAR", FOR THE SUPERPOWER US TO GIVE UP TO ITS NEWFOUND CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLINGS OR OTHER, + WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED.
Lest we fergit, the "American Dream" is now the "North American Dream", where among other MEXICO + CANADA + GREENLAND NOW HAVE A DIRECT/ACTIVE ROLE IN US DEFENSE + NATIONAL, GEOPOL SECURITY, i.e. in stopping any + all Enemy ICBMS from reaching CONUS-NORAM soil.
* FYI WORLD MILITAY FORUM > US NAVAL INTELLIFENCE [USONI] REPORT: CHINESE NAVY WILL ENTER THE EASTERN PACIFIC [EASTPAC] IN FIVE YEARS [2020]. CHINESE ADMIRAL ADMITS THE PLAN HAS FOUR STRATEGIC MISSLE NUCLEAR SUMARINES CAPABLE OF STRIKING THE US FROM HAWAIIAN OR EAST ASIAN WATERS.
* SAME > EX-NANJING MILITARY COMMANDER: RECOVERY OF TAIWAN IS ESSENTIAL IN ANY EAST ASIA WAR INVOLVING CHINA East, South China Seas, Koreas]AGAINST ITS NEIGHBORS ANDOR THE US. CHINA MUST PREPARE CONTINGENCY PLANS IN CASE OF ECONOMY, ISLAMIST-LED RUSSIA COLLAPSE.
Again, the USDOD must have felt a heavy sigh of relief on news of the delay of the Chuuk independence vote from the FSM, as per seeing "We want 1/2 of the Pacific by 2020" China + PLAN getting into Chuuk/Truk Lagoon = Japan's WW2 CENTPAC HQ. = behind Guam + "too close" to Kawajalein + Ulithi Lagoons.
A few days after September 11 I saw a quote from Gunter Grass on a Manhattan lamppost. In those dark days, the lampposts and walls that weren't covered in missing persons posters were decorated with the hysterical pamphleteering of the left urging us to blame ourselves for the attacks. The quote has long since been lost to memory, buried under smoke and ash, a green parrot perched on an empty staircase and crowds thronging on foot across the bridge.
The quote itself, like the latest Grassian screed, does not matter. Grass, like Gandhi and King, was one of the favorite go-to guys for the left's sticky sheets of paper. When you want to write a suicide note, then you reach for a line from Sylvia Plath or Emily Dickinson, but when you want to write a national or civilizational suicide note, there's always Gunter Grass.
As a writer, Gunter Grass is a blacksmith, hammering together graceless and shapeless lumps that aren't good for much except hitting people over the head with leaden angst and guilt.
Being a bad artist or writer, a shameless egotist who hammers his own pedestal and waits for the adoring crowds to gather, does not make one a Nazi, though Gunter had been a Nazi. But it doesn't help either. Neither does the resentment over the war poorly fitted into a pacifist t-shirt which hangs over the paunches of the German and Japanese left. That adds a vindictive tone to their denunciation of American, British and Israeli warmongering.
Grass, like so much of the German left, saw Nazis everywhere but in the mirror. The only lesson that he and his comrades had drawn is that they were wrong to march right, when they should have marched left. It did not occur to them that they should not have been marching at all and that the marching under red banners was the whole problem to begin with.
