Forward!
Ferguson, again. Two cops shot, protesters party. (link updated)
Update:
On November 30, 2014, I advised the police to leave, residents to move, and businesses to take the insurance money and run: Do not rebuild in Ferguson.
This is why.

NY Post: 2 NYPD cops shot dead ‘execution style’ in Brooklyn
This looks to be legit. The Instagram account has already been pulled.
Update: More on shooter Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley at Mediaite.
The blowback has only just begun.
The blood of 2 executed police officers is on the hands of Mayor de Blasio. May God bless their families and may they rest in peace.

Embrace Hollywood!
Pascal agreed to let Sharpton have a say in how Sony makes motion pictures, in an effort to combat what he called “inflexible and immovable racial exclusion in Hollywood.”
More from Ed Driscoll – “to paraphrase something Virginia Postrel once said to Brian Lamb, North Korea’s start-from-zero let ’em eat grass and ride bicycles basket-case economy is a Hollywood environmental fascist’s dream come true. One in which, Kim Jong-un always gets the final cut, in every way imaginable.”

Nothing says "I'm a pasty, privileged, leftist" like looting & vandalizing a Whole Foods. #BerkeleyProtests http://t.co/N17JrAPE6v

Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?
What we are witnessing is nothing less than a Gangster uprising. The African American culture is by and large one of idolization and worship of violent criminals, this violent behavior on their part is the inescapable result of a culture that assaults education, honestly, moral, ethical or virtuous behavior and instead glorifies and rewards violent criminal behavior.
But do not make the mistake of thinking that that is all this is about. This my friends, is nothing less than a loaded gun pointed at the head of America with the none to subtle threat, Impeach Barack Obama, and we’ll burn America to the ground. Wake up and smell the burning rubble America. The Fifth Column Treasonous Media, the Whitehouse and the Department of Injustice set these wheels in motion very much on purpose to prevent anyone from even remotely considering Impeaching his Imperial Majesty Barack Hussein Obama the first.

“White police officers wouldn’t be there,” Giuliani said, “if you weren’t killing each other.“

The Ferguson protest movement held a meeting tonight at St. Mark Family Church on Glen Owen Drive.
The protesters took time out from their meeting to beat a college student.
Then they chased him down the street screaming.
They were just rehearsing.

I Felt A Great Disturbance In The Narrative
A police report detailing a fight last month between members of Michael Brown’s family over the sale of commemorative t-shirts identifies the late teenager’s mother as one of the “attackers” who beat and robbed vendors selling the merchandise from a tent in a Ferguson, Missouri parking lot.

The “W” Word
Back in 2010, OkCupid selected around 500,000 profiles created by self-described “white” people, then “isolated the words and phrases” that made them “distinct” from those of other races. The most commonly Caucasian-used words were displayed in tag-cloud style infographics that had the uncanny appeal of found poetry.
That’s why I’m starting to wonder about my genetic makeup, because according to OkCupid, white women are very, very interested in … the Boston Red Sox. Then in someone named “Jodi Picoult.”
Y2Kyoto: Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho!
The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed global warming regulations aren’t just about stemming global temperature rises — according to agency’s chief, they are also about “justice” for “communities of color.”
“Carbon pollution standards are an issue of justice,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy in a teleconference call with environmental activists. “If we want to protect communities of color, we need to protect them from climate change.”
McCarthy is referring to the EPA’s proposed rule that would limit carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants. The agency says the rule will not only help fight global warming, but will also improve public health as coal-fired power plants are shuttered.
