Report – President Obama Receives 30 Death Threats a Day

Did you know that President Obama receives about 30 death threats per day, according to Ronald Kessler, author of the 2009 “In the President’s Secret Service.” That’s a nearly four times the rate of the approximately 3,000 threats per year faced by George W. Bush, according to Kessler.

Most of the threats are not credible, and not made public, but must be investigated by the Secret Service. But Kessler’s book makes the case that the Secret Service is understaffed. “We have half the number of agents we need, but requests for more agents have fallen on deaf ears at headquarters,” a Secret Service agent told Kessler. “Headquarters’ mentality has always been, ‘You can complete the mission with what you have. You’re a U.S.S.S. agent’,” reported The Telegraph.

Police on Blacks – “I wish someone would pull a Ferguson on them and take them out”

And now another episode of racism from the people hired to protect and serve us. Today’s episode comes from a police officer in Baton Rouge Louisiana.

Michael Elsbury, who has been with the department for about 15 years, still faces a criminal investigation even though he resigned, said Cpl. Don Coppola, a Baton Rouge Police spokesman.

The allegations surfaced Wednesday when NAACP state President Ernest Johnson said he was shown a series of text messages with racial slurs that purportedly had been sent by Elsbury to a friend outside of the Police Department.

The texts were given to police “by a girl, a friend” of Elsbury’s, Police Chief Carl Dabadie said Thursday night.

Part of the string of texts read: “I wish someone would pull a Ferguson on them and take them out. I hate looking at those African monkeys at work … I enjoy arresting those thugs with their saggy pants.”

Ben Carson On Ray Rice – “Let’s not all jump on the bandwagon of demonizing this guy”

Ben Carson is a Republican and has been mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for President in 2016. Make no mistake, Ben Carson will never get the Republican’s nomination for president in 2016 or any year after, because Republicans are simply not ready for Carson’s real shade of gray… you know what I mean?

But following what happened today when TMZ released the full video of Rey Rice’s knockout punch on his then fiancée, Ben Carson jumped to the microphone to make his feelings known, and he doesn’t want anyone “demonizing” Rice for his knockout punch!

When asked if he agreed with the Baltimore Ravens and NFL’s decision to release Rice from his contract and suspend him indefinitely, Carson answered, “I’m hopeful they will get some help for him. I mean, obviously anyone who would do something like that needs some help.”

He continued;

“And let’s not all jump on the bandwagon of demonizing this guy. He obviously has some real problems, and his wife obviously knows that, because she subsequently married him. So they both need some help. So rather than just jumping on a punitive bandwagon, let’s just see if we can get some help for these people.”

The Bush Daughters Are Not Registered Republicans

The New York Daily News checked the status of the daughters of former Republican president George W. Bush and found that their party registration do not say “Republican.”

Jenna, who registered in New York soon after her daughter was born is registered with the Independence Party and her twin sister is registered in Texas as an Independent.

The News reports that Jenna’s registration was actually a mistake, that her intention was to register as an independent, but signed up for the Independence Party instead. According to a spokesperson for Jenna Bush, the mistake was due to “very little sleep. ”

“Jenna registered to vote in New York soon after her daughter was born, and like all new moms, she was functioning on very little sleep. She mistakenly registered for the Independence Party,” said Megan Kopf Stackhouse, a spokeswoman for the former President’s daughter.

Don’t worry ladies, I know that being a Republican these days is not what it used to be. And I actually commend you both for realizing that fact and choosing not to be affiliated with the party your father once led.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s better to mistakenly be a member of the Independence Party than to intentionally be a Republican.
