Oh My! Lame Leftist Sally Kohn Blames Detroit Collapse on 'Racially Biased Policies'
At Twitchy, "Sally Kohn: Detroit ‘set up to fail’ by racially biased policies."
The debate, which took off on Twitter, was kicked off after Kohn had her ass handed to her by Charles Krauthammer.

Anaheim Police Were Ready to Protect Disneyland During Sunday's Anti-Brutality Hate Fest
Loads of signage at the protest blamed Disneyland for underwriting Anaheim police brutality, but hey, they're communists. The whole system's racist, remember?
From Gabriel San Roman, at the O.C. Weekly, "Anaheim Police Were Ready to Protect Disneyland at Yesterday's Anti-Police Brutality Protest":
With organizers of yesterday's statewide anti-police brutality demonstration in Anaheim failing to publicly disclose where exactly it would end up after its City Hall kickoff, a sense of ambiguity lingered in the air. This was especially the case with regards to the question if there was going to be an attempt to take the Harbor Boulevard bridge into Disneyland and show the Mouse up.There's still more at the link.
With this in mind, friend of the Weekly Duane Roberts and I spent much of the day photographically documenting the positioning of police 'assets' throughout central Anaheim to see what they were up to. First up? Finding the command post!
Back on July 29, 2012, a highly visible, highly militarized police presence was made known to all who dared protest the weekend following a night of riots in the city. The staging ground for all of APD's 'assets' was the public parking lot north of Glover Stadium. When "tone setters" beckoned and the fatal officer-involved shooting of Manuel Angel Diaz was ruled justified this March, Anaheim police took to the same location during the first city council meeting after the fact preparing for any possible civil disturbance.
This time around? Not so much! Well before the 1 p.m. scheduled start of the protest, the homeless of La Palma Park weren't cleared out and the lot was empty. (Although we would later discover tons of cops parked and eating at the nearby Carl's Jr.!) Unlike last year's demonstration, the police presence was not so easily visible and this was the first sign of that. Roberts, who methodically publishes the Anaheim Investigator Blog, had an idea.
After checking out the Anaheim Police Department's headquarters on Harbor, vehicles began deploying from the back. We tailed some patrol units to see if they would lead us in the right direction. They turned left onto South Street and were followed by a fleet of motorcycle cops who led us right to the command post at Central Yard. "There it is!" Roberts said lighting up like a damn Christmas tree!
More obscured from the public view with high walls, a whole lot of cops could still be seen. Parked at the command post were horses, trailers, an Anaheim SWAT vehicle, armored vehicles and numerous patrol cars--both marked and unmarked. Interim Chief Raul Quezada and his staff were congregating in an alley open to both Vermont Avenue and South Street. Should there be any impromptu attempt by protestors to take Harbor en route to Disneyland, police positioning could easily 'kettle' them, pinching like crab claws from both sides. As the prescient, fish-eyed Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars warned, "It's a trap!"
Back at City Hall, the assembly of protestors numbered at about 500 hundred at its peak. The large parking structure behind it was closed off for supposed "maintenance." Spotted among the crowd was James Armendaris, Manager for OC Human Relations' Police Community Reconciliation Program, snapping photos before the march headed down Broadway Avenue towards Harbor. The gathering eventually stopped in front of APD headquarters as speaker after speaker rallied for hours from atop a stage truck. Once again, Roberts and I took off to see if police assets had already been re-positioned from their command post.
But I'm scratching my head here. Do idiot leftists seriously believe that the cops are just gonna go home for the weekend when anarchists, communists, drug-addled dirtbags, and everyday leftist scum are amassing for a riot?
Yes they do, apparently. Damned morons.
Unrest Continues on Anniversary of #Anaheim Police Shootings
A vigil Tuesday night will mark a second day of memorials a year after two Anaheim police shootings fueled angry protest and calls for political change in Orange County's largest city.And I'm supposed to be heart-broken?
The vigil for Joel Acevedo, who was killed July 22, 2012, comes the day after hundreds marched through Anaheim to mark the anniversary of the police shooting of Manuel Diaz.
The shootings were followed by days of protests that exposed a deep ethnic divide in a city most often recognized as home to Disneyland.
Diaz, who was unarmed, was shot and killed on July 21, 2012, by an officer who said he believed Diaz had a weapon. Acevedo was killed the following night.
Have you seen photos of Manny Diaz? The dude was a mf hard-assed criminal loco.
And with all the leftist pro-cop killing agitation, Anaheim PD needs to stay on its toes.

Britain's Royal Line of Succession After Elizabeth
And check the live feed, "Royal baby: Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to a boy – live coverage."
The baby's name might not be known for some time, since it needs to be something kingly, like "James" or "Richard," and the name can't be currently taken by someone near the top of the succession hierarchy, or something. The New York Times has a nifty chart, "The Royal Line of Succession."
And back over to an interesting article from 2012, at the Guardian, "Charles in waiting: 63-year-old pays tribute to Queen – and his own destiny?"
Could the crown bypass Charles to William? The Guardian piece says it won't happen, but certainly if the law can be changed to allow for a female heir to the throne, no doubt tradition can bend to bring William's youth and vigor to the monarchy. It's pretty interesting, in any case.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns Bleeding Mayors
Nashua, N.H. mayor Donnalee Lozeau removed her name from the MAIG website when the group released an attack ad, which claimed that Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), who voted against the failed Manchin-Toomey gun legislation, was misleading voters when she claimed to have supported background checks in the past.Well, thank goodness people are waking up to how horrible the gun control goons are. Seriously. The left is just out to bludgeon and eviscerate decent law abiding folks by any means necessary. Resist them. Smash them back and repudiate them like the scum they are.
“I simply cannot be part of an organization that chooses this course of action instead of cooperatively working with those that have proven over a lifetime of work their true intentions,” Lozeau said in a statement to Nashua’s the Telegraph. “I have faith that Senator Ayotte will continue to work toward finding a responsible solution relative to these issues.”

He was interviewed at the Los Angeles Times, "Police-related shootings focus of Anaheim protest march Sunday":
"This is not just the anniversary of the murder of Manuel Diaz," said Mike Prysner, a self-described activist from Los Angeles who is helping to organize the march. "It's also the anniversary of Anaheim being brought into the national and international spotlight as a center of police brutality."There's more at the Times, "Anaheim marchers mark one-year anniversary of police shooting."

Judge Jeanine Pirro Slams Rolling Stone's Disgusting Celebrification of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
And David Carr at the New York Times gives Rolling Stone the benefit of the doubt, "Behind Rolling Stone’s Cover, a Story Worth Reading."
Well, I think the universal condemnation of Rolling Stone, especially among real Hollywood celebrities, puts the lie to the piece as "worth reading." But things are pretty f-ked up in this country, thanks to the left.

ObamaCare is Falling Apart
As the reality of Obamacare emerges, a disastrous calamity imposed on the American people, even the most compliant members of the Obama fan club are beginning to panic. Three union presidents have sent Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi a scathing letter decrying Obamacare, showing just how out-of-control this law has become. This astonishing reversal has been underreported so far, except by the ever-vigilant Tom Gara in the Wall Street Journal.That's pretty messed up when even communist unions bail out on Obama's communist clusterf-k, but RTWT.
The fact is that the crater of Obamacare is getting deeper, with sharper edges. The unions are first-tier political allies of President Obama and the Democratic Party, and it was surely their last resort to put their grievances with Obamacare in writing in the public sphere. A lot must have happened behind the scenes before they felt sufficiently frustrated with the Obama administration to take this step.
