Friday Post

For the end of the week...


Trayvon Martin is not only his son but him, as well!

President Barack Obama, making his first public remarks on the George Zimmerman acquittal, said on Friday that many African-Americans believe that “both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different” if Trayvon Martin had been white.

“You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son,” Obama said somberly during a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. “Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.”

Naturally, everything is about Obama, even the death of someone killed in self-defense.

What disgraceful huckster this Narcissist-in-Chief is! Does he think can have another chance at draconian gun control measures as well as start a race war? How can Americans stand to have an oily opportunist like Obama as president?

Oh, and the city Obama banked on declared bankruptcy:

Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history on Thursday, setting the stage for a costly court battle with creditors and opening a new chapter in the long struggle to revive the city that was the cradle of the American auto industry.

The bankruptcy, if approved by a federal judge, would force Detroit's thousands of creditors into negotiations with the city's Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to resolve an estimated $18.5 billion in debt that has crippled Michigan's largest city.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said he saw no other options for Detroit and approved Orr's request to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.

Mitt Romney is looking super-right about now.

UPDATE: 

Ruling that the governor and Detroit’s emergency manager violated the state constitution, an Ingham County Circuit judge ordered Friday that Detroit’s federal bankruptcy filing be withdrawn.

Dead but won't lie down, as they say.

(Merci)

Also, there is this:

Congressional testimony on Thursday from a retired IRS tax law specialist claimed that the Office of Chief Counsel, led by William Wilkins, was involved in the screening of Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status. 

Wilkins -- a former tax lobbyist-turned-attorney -- happens to be a Democratic donor and the only IRS official at the time of the scandal to have been appointed by Obama. 

And why is Obama still president? Who could have ordered the deliberate targeting of the conservative groups with the IRS as the henchmen? The same man who let four Americans die in Benghazi, that's who.

Cuba must think Panama is stupid:

When a North Korean ship carrying Cuban arms was seized last week in Panama on suspicion of smuggling drugs, Cuba first said it was loaded with sugar for the people of North Korea, according to a Panamanian official familiar with the matter.

A former boss of the CIA is aware that evidence proving Huawei's espionage does, indeed, exist:

The former head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency said he is aware of hard evidence that Huawei Technologies Co Ltd has spied for the Chinese government, the Australian Financial Review newspaper reported on Friday.

Michael Hayden, also the former head of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), said in an interview with the paper that Huawei had "shared with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of the foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with". ...

Huawei, founded in 1987 by former People's Liberation Army officer Ren Zhengfei, has repeatedly denied being linked to the Chinese government or military or receiving financial support from either.

Islam is a heresy:

Several Islamic groups on Friday demanded the recall of the Vatican's first envoy to Malaysia, describing him as an "enemy of the state" after he supported the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims.

Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Vatican's mission in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Muslim-majority Malaysia, after prayers on Friday, urging the government to expel Archbishop Joseph Marino.

One thing: there should be no apology to these thugs.
