It’s Friday, August 28th, 2015…but before we begin, in keeping with our Quote of the Day and the classic Michael Ramirez (second only to the great Stilton Jarlsberg in his comedic wit, and peerless<\/em> in his artistic abilities) offering above, consider the following: first, from the nation’s capital:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter boos Washington DC mayor’s anti-crime plans<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DCprotest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The boos began as soon as Washington’s mayor said she was putting more police officers on the streets in neighborhoods affected by violent crime.<\/strong><\/span> They didn’t let up for the next 18 minutes as Democrat Muriel Bowser laid out her plans to address an increase in homicides in the nation’s capital.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bowser was repeatedly heckled and interrupted by a few dozen protesters affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement during her address Thursday inside the sweltering gymnasium of a long-shuttered school in southeast Washington.<\/p>\n

Shouting “Jobs, not jails<\/em><\/span>!” and “More police is not the answer!,” the protesters accused the mayor of failing to address the root causes of violence and advocating for policies that would do more harm than good.\u00a0<\/strong>Bowser, who is black, said she wanted “to make ‘Black Lives Matter’ more than just a hashtag.'”<\/span> The hecklers said they didn’t believe her<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

Second, the latest from Ferguson, MO, hometown of the Black Lives Matter<\/em> movement’s poster child for intolerable behavior:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suspect in Bolden’s death was out of prison on suspended sentenced<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

“A suspect is in custody\u00a0regarding the shooting death of Jamyla Bolden.\u00a0According to court records, 21-year-old De’Eris Brown has been charged in the shooting death of Bolden after allegedly confessing\u00a0he\u00a0shot\u00a0into her\u00a0home<\/strong><\/span>…The 9-year-old was doing her homework while seated on a bed in the 9200 block of Ellison when she was fatally shot around 9:30 p.m. on August 18.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…Brown was arrested in 2014 after allegedly pulling a pistol on a Subway employee in the middle of the parking lot. Police said at the time that Brown called an employee of the store and said “I’m coming to your job and going to shoot up the place.” Police say he later showed up and pointed the gun at the employee saying “come talk to my nine,” referring to his gun. No one was seriously hurt in that incident.\u00a0Charges in the incident were later dismissed because prosecutors said the victim did not cooperate<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In March, Brown pleaded guilty to robbery charges<\/span> and was sentenced to 10 years in prison<\/span>, but the sentence was suspended and he was placed on five-years probation<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

So, we’re curious. \u00a0In the case of De’Eris Brown and Jamyla Bolden, which<\/em><\/span> Black life matters most<\/em><\/span>?!? \u00a0We already know<\/em> the value Progressives place on unborn<\/em><\/span> Blacks, but think about it: were Michael “The Gentle Giant” Brown in circumstances similar to De’Eris Brown’s (Brown & Brown: sounds like an East St. Louis…or West Baltimore…law firm!)<\/span>, any question he wouldn’t have hesitated to pull the trigger?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the juice: Black Lives Matter<\/em> is as much about Black lives as the push for gay marriage was about matrimonial rights for homosexuals. \u00a0It’s a smokescreen, friends; a distraction from the real goal of the consolidation of power in the hands of those who seek to tell you how and where to live, what to say and think and who…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the top of the Friday order, there’s trouble in Progressive paradise; as Astro would say,\u00a0<\/strong>“Ruh roh, Rorge”:<\/strong><\/p>\n
