THIS WAS NOT A HATE CRIME…REPEAT: THIS WAS NOT A HATE CRIME
Surveillance video emerged this week of a six-on-two beating”€”six black males against a white male and female”€”from late August near a nightclub in Springfield, MO. Meredith Cole and her boyfriend Alex Vessey were rushed to a hospital and treated for extensive facial injuries after the beating. Cole, the mother of a 16-month-old child, says she stepped outside the club where Vessey had been working as a DJ when the group of black males approached and began sexually groping her. She says she went inside the club to summon Vessey, who came outside to seek the perps, who jumped him shortly thereafter.

Although a New York Daily News account of the incident minces no words in describing the half-dozen assailants as “€œpunks,”€ “€œbrutes,”€ “€œcowards,”€ and “€œgoons,”€ it isn”€™t until late in the article that they reveal they were all black, and then only to underline Cole’s insistence that the attack had nothing to do with race. Springfield PD spokeswoman Lisa Cox is quoted as saying, “As far as I know there’s no reason to believe this was an assault that broke out due to race.”

Fine. So where’s the evidence that the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO had anything to do with race?

OBAMNESTY DEFERRED
After already breaking dozens of campaign promises, Barack Obama has broken his promise of late June to use his executive powers, real or imagined, to shove “€œimmigration reform”€ down an unwilling nation’s throat. In an interview that aired Sunday on Meet the Press, Obama flatly denied that delaying his decision until the end of the year had anything to do with trying to salvage the Democrats”€™ chances to retain control of the Senate during the November elections. Despite the overwhelming evidence that we”€™re not exactly dealing with Rhodes Scholars, Obama even had the audacity to refer to “€œthe best and brightest who want to stay here and invest here and create jobs here.”€ He also insisted that “€œyou got folks across the board supporting”€ his threats to issue executive amnesty, despite the fact that a recent Rasmussen poll found that “€œ62% of Likely U.S. Voters oppose the president granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants without the approval of Congress.”€

According to CNS News, a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report says that in August, the number of foreign-born workers employed in the US reached nearly 25 million”€”the highest number ever and nearly 17% of the total labor force. Foreign-born workers also snagged nearly 40% of all new jobs between August 2013 and August 2014.

As of Friday, the website FiveThirtyEight says that “€œRepublicans have a 63.5 percent chance of winning the Senate“€ in November.

IRRESPONSIBLE WENCH SEEKS TO CROWDFUND HER ABORTION
“€œBailey”€ is a tattooed-and-pierced 23-year-old woman with multicolored hair who lives in Chicago with her boyfriend, who calls himself “€œLücifer Ryzing.”€ Back in January on Twitter, Mr. Lücifer posted a picture that made a joke of eating dead fetuses. Now he is beseeching the public to help his girlfriend abort a late-term fetus for which he was not the sperm donor. He created a page called “€œBailey’s Abortion Fund”€ and sought $2,500 to pay for an operation that would kill Bailey’s nearly five-month-old fetus:

Bailey needs an abortion….She is the most important person in my entire life, and even though I didn”€™t help create the fetus inside of her, we need to get rid of it, because this affects me just as much as it does her….Bailey is currently unemployed, completely broke, in debt, and in no position to hold down a job….Aside from having no desire to raise a child, she is economically unstable and can barely afford to support herself, which means having enough money to pay rent, smoke cigarettes, drink rockstar, support her friends in prison, and if she’s really busted her ass, maybe go to a show or two.

The heartwarming couple allegedly raised over $1,600 until GoFundMe removed the page in the wake of negative publicity. Since this falls far short of the $2,500 the couple claims was needed to fund the abortion, it is not known whether they will use the contributions to procure more tattoos and cigarettes.
