Video Police Shooting of 17 Year Old Laquan McDonald Revealed – Video

There is a video of the actual police shooting of 17-year old Laquan McDonald in Chicago last October, but the video is not being released at this point because of an active investigation. According to the police report, the officer who pulled the trigger “was scared for his life” and shot the teenager in his chest.

But a coroner’s report showed that Laquan was not just shot in the chest, he was also shot in the leg, in his arm, in his head, in his back. A total of 16 bullets riddled the teenager’s body, a shooting that took 16 seconds to complete.

Yes, the shooting officer made it back home to his family in one piece and Chicago is cutting a $5 million check for Laquan’s family.

I wonder why?

Ted Cruz’s Daddy – “Kiss this country goodbye” if Hillary Clinton is Elected – Video

Ted Cruz is the same Republican who organized the last shutdown of the American government, a move that cost this country $24 billion according to Standard & Poor’s. Standard and Poor’s also said the shutdown equaled $1.5 billion a day for the 16 days shutdown the doors to some government agencies stayed shut. If the shutdown had continued, as Ted Cruz clearly wanted it to, America would be no more.

Cruz’s daddy – who had no criticism about his son’s government shutdown – is now all of a sudden saying “you might as well kiss this country goodbye” if Hillary Clinton is elected in 2016. Again, this man had nothing do say when his son cost this country $24 billion!

Speaking to a Teaparty group in Georgia, Rafael Cruz said,“If we did it then, you bet we can do it again. And let me tell you, if we have someone like Hillary Clinton elected in 2016, you might as well kiss this country goodbye, this country’s gone. We are fighting for the survival of America.”

Again, this man had nothing to say about the destruction of America when his son shut down the government and cost the nation $24 billion in 16 days!

Rev. Al Sharpton and Others will Hold a Hunger Strike Until Loretta Lynch is Confirmed

Eric Holder, the current Attorney General, has already said he wants to leave the post, and over 160 days ago, the president nominated his successor. But Republicans, branded “the party of NO,” apparently see political benefits in refusing to confirm the new Attorney General, so Sharpton along with female civil-rights leaders are trying to put pressure on Senate leader Mitch McConnell with a hunger strike.

“As long as the Senate refuses to take fifteen minutes to confirm someone for Attorney General that they have already confirmed twice for U.S. Attorney,” National Action Network and its allies “will do everything in our power to draw attention to this completely unfair and unnecessary delay to vote to confirm Loretta Lynch,” Sharpton, who founded NAN, said in a statement Wednesday.

The group’s executive director, Janaye Ingram, added: “We stand with Loretta Lynch and are so in support of this cause that we are willing to sacrifice our daily meals to impress upon the U.S. Senate that it’s time to call a vote.”

The hunger strike is part of a broader public pressure campaign for Republican leaders to quickly hold a confirmation vote for Lynch, who has been stuck in a nomination purgatory ever since she cleared the Judiciary Committee in late February. Lynch, the current U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, would be the first black woman to serve as the nation’s top law enforcement official.

Republican Peter King on Supporting Ted Cruz – “I will jump off that bridge when we come to it”

Republican Representative Peter King does not hide he feelings well, especially when it comes to his fellow Republican, Senator Ted Cruz.

Earlier this week, King went on CNN to discuss, among other things, Senator Cruz and his wish to be the next Republican presidential nominee. Asked by Wolf Blitzer if he can support Cruz for president, King replied, “I hope that day never comes. I will jump off that bridge when we come to it.”

“You’re leaving open that possibility after you said what you said?” Blitzer asked.

“It’d be very difficult,” King responded. “Maybe he can go on the road to Damascus, he can have a complete conversion. But the way it is right now, it’d be very difficult to support Ted Cruz.”

King appeared on Blitzer’s show after releasing a statement calling the Texas Tea Party favorite a “carnival barker.” Cruz announced early Monday morning that he was officially entering the 2016 presidential race.

“Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate,” King said. “He oversimplifies, he exaggerates.”

King also accused Cruz of leading the GOP “off the cliff” in 2013 for inciting the federal government shutdown. At the time, King blamed Cruz and his “acolytes” for the shutdown, saying it was “madness” for the party to follow his lead.

Who Toppled the Tombstone of Hillary Clinton’s Deceased Father?

Their hate for the newly announced Democratic presidential candidate has no boundaries.

Vandals in Pennsylvania reportedly toppled the tombstone of Hillary Clinton’s late father, police said Tuesday night.

Employees at the Washburn Street Cemetery, in Scranton, Pa., told the Scranton Times-Tribune that the gravestone of Hugh Rodham, the deceased father of the newly minted 2016 candidate, had been overturned in recent days, in a vulgar incident that authorities suspect is vandalism.

“I’m not sure how else it would have fallen over,” Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said.

Rodham died in 1993 at the age of 82.

Authorities have since righted the fallen tombstone, cemetery caretaker Paul McGloin told the Times-Tribune.

“I hope this had nothing to do with politics because that’s just wrong,” McGloin told the paper.

Watch as ISIS Suicide Bomber’s Car Explodes in Midair – Video

The car never made it to the intended target. It is believed that as the car made its way to a group of unsuspecting potential victims, it drove over an IED, causing a massive explosion sending the car airborne. And if that didn’t kill the ISIS bomber, the bombs in the car caused a second massive explosion high in the air.

The video was produced by Kurdish Peshmerga forces who are on a mission to document failed attacks by Islamic State militants as part of a concerted anti-extremism media campaign.
