Updated: New video shows Michelle Fields is lying about being yanked to the floor by Donald Trump’s campaign manager

Update #2: Since this video was shot, I have since retracted fully my support of Donald Trump, because of the smearing of Amanda Carpenter.

Update: I apparently was misinformed on what Michelle Fields actually said. plukasiak writes in the comments section:

“Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance.”

While she also said “Campaign managers aren’t supposed to try to forcefully throw reporters to the ground”, there is nothing false about that statement, whereas the accusation that Fields said she was “thrown to the ground” is 100% false

My apologies, I may have misread her initial story.

Original posting:

Here’s my video on it too:

I knew something smelled fishy about this story and I was right. Here is a new video showing Michelle Fields being gently pulled away from Donald Trump; as you can obviously see in the video Michelle Fields was simply pulled back.

She was not thrown to the floor, like it has been reported. So this resignation from Breitbart and all this other nonsense is nothing, but a fabricated story to make Donald Trump look bad.

And without further Ado, here is the video that shows that Michelle Fields is, in fact, lying about her altercation with Donald Trump’s campaign manager:

A special thank you to vdare.com.com and Ann Coulter for highlighting this on Twitter, so I could actually write about it.

UPDATED: The Meltdown Begins: Breitbart Editor at Editor-at-large Ben Shapiro and Reporter Michelle Fields resign TWO MORE STAFFERS RESIGN

Update: Politico reports that National security correspondent Jordan Schachtel and associate editor Jarrett Stepman have resigned.

****
Original Story:

Man, sleep in one day; and boy did I ever! — did not crawl out of bed till 12:30 in the afternoon —- and major news breaks. Hopefully, I write this right; I’m still nursing the coffee mug and the vape. So, bear with me here. 😛

I knew this was coming, but I did not expect it this soon. I figured that Ben and Michelle would hold out until after the election. I guess the staff over there, are really ticked about the way the owners handled the situation.

BuzzFeed has the scoop:

Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields and editor-at-large Ben Shapiro are resigning from the company over the site’s handling of Donald Trump’s campaign manager’s alleged assault on Fields, BuzzFeed News has learned.

Fields and Shapiro informed Breitbart News chair Steve Bannon of their decision Sunday night.

“Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation,” Fields said in a statement sent to BuzzFeed News. “I do not believe Breitbart News has adequately stood by me during the events of the past week and because of that I believe it is now best for us to part ways.”

In his own statement, Shapiro said the episode was emblematic of how he believes the site’s management had sold out the legacy of its founder and namesake, the late Andrew Breitbart.

“Andrew’s life mission has been betrayed,” Shapiro wrote. “Indeed, Breitbart News, under the chairmanship of Steve Bannon, has put a stake through the heart of Andrew’s legacy. In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle.”

Breitbart has been riven by internal strife in recent days after Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, allegedly grabbed Fields and yanked her away from Trump as she was attempting to ask him a question after a press conference in Florida. The Trump campaign denied the incident, despite considerable evidence to the contrary.

Breitbart published a story casting doubt on Fields’ account, appearing to side with the Trump campaign over their own reporter. Joel Pollak, a senior editor-at-large at the organization, ordered staffers to stop defending Fields. One source with knowledge of the situation said some staffers who publicly defended Fields had been threatened with firing.

“Both Lewandowski and Trump maligned Michelle in the most repulsive fashion,” Shapiro wrote in his resignation statement. “Meanwhile, Breitbart News not only stood by and did nothing outside of tepidly asking for an apology, they then attempted to abandon Michelle by silencing staff from tweeting or talking about the issue. Finally, in the ultimate indignity, they undermined Michelle completely by running a poorly-evidenced conspiracy theory as their lead story in which Michelle and Terris had somehow misidentified Lewandowski.”

The exodus, which began with the company’s spokesman Kurt Bardella, is unlikely to end with Fields and Shapiro. Three sources say multiple staffers are searching for a way out of the company — with several actively circulating résumés, according to two sources — and more resignations could follow in the coming days and weeks. The company is known for having editorial employees sign unusually strict contracts, at least some of which include non-compete clauses that could make it difficult to leave Breitbart for another news outlet.

Relations between Bannon and the site’s staff — which were already fraught with tension over the direction and editorial vision for the company — have deteriorated sharply over the episode with the Trump campaign. According to one company source with knowledge of the situation, some editors have discussed telling Breitbart News CEO Larry Solov they will quit unless Bannon is ousted. Solov did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday night.

Sorry to over quote that story; but it is all that good. Looks like the staff isn’t very happy. Like I wrote over in the comments section of this blog here; there have been issues with the staff over at Breitbart for a long while. Many people worked there have worked there; only to leave later on. Dana Loesch actually filed a lawsuit against the company over her contract there, before she moved to Glenn Beck’s network. So, this is really no big surprise to me at all.

What is really surprising to me is that a piece mocking Shapiro was published and then removed. Which tells me really all I need to know about that company. Andrew would be really furious as to how his company is being handled by these two jokers. There is a price to be a shill and these guys are now paying it. I support Trump myself; but I am not a shill, nor will I ever be —- and this above, is why.

This is why I have never wrote anywhere except for here.

The only exceptions to that rule are where I submitted cross-postings of a few blog postings at Faith Writers and I also have an account at Nolan Chart, which is a libertarian site, to submit original writings.

This here is the reason, the story via St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

ST. LOUIS   •   Conservative talk radio host and commentator Dana Loesch sued the owner of the conservative website Breitbart.com Friday, claiming that although her relationship with the news and opinion aggregating website had gone “tragically awry,” Breibart.cοm LLC refused to let her work for the company or anyone else, forcing her into “indentured servitude in limbo.”

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court here, seeks at least $75,000 in damages, as well as a judge’s declaration that her contract had expired.

The suit says that difficulties managing the Breitbart “media ’empire’” or ideological conflicts or both had spiked the working relationship, creating a “increasingly hostile” work environment. When Loesch tried to terminate her work agreement in September, Breitbart refused and extended the agreement by a year, the suit says.

Breitbart.cοm LLC refuses to allow her work to be published and “sabotages” her attempts to find work elsewhere, the suit says.

This right here is why: because when you sign a contract, the person you sign with, basically owns you. The only way to get out of the contract is to go to court and ask a judge to release you out of your contract. Hence the reason for me never signing with anyone at all. Back when I was defending the right hardcore, I was asked to sign with someone once. It was not a huge amount of money, but the place seemed a bit shady at the time and I passed on it. I do not regret it either, because really, after my dealings with them, I never heard anymore about them. The site never came up and I asked about it. I was told they had “capital issues” and decided to not to put the site online.

Besides all of that; call it my independent spirit, call it my left leanings, call it my hatred of corporate shills; call it whatever you want to call it. But, when you are writing for a company of some sort, unless you are writing for yourself and have a LLC formed or something like that — you are a corporate writer. You are being paid by a company to spout talking points. This is why I shied away from that sort of a thing. I happen to be someone who has a rather quirky opinion on that.

Blogging was started by people who felt that the corporate ran and controlled media had a monopoly on the political, social and cultural conversation in this Country. People like Matt Mullenweg who basically took a piece of software that its original author abandoned and in open source terms, “forked” the software and created the software that about 90% of bloggers today use, including myself.  Oh, there are others, like Blogger, TypePad and few others; but honestly, from what I am told, and from what I have experienced with one; they for the most part, do truly suck. WordPress is great, easy to use, and best of all, it is free! All you need, is a host, that can handle the traffic; and you are golden.

Now here is the part, where I start sounding like an old geezer, and I am too; I am, after all, 40 years old. (Puts on old geezer wig and costume…) (said in best old geezer voice that I can muster..) Back in the good old days of blogging, in 2006, we didn’t have these new fangled gadgets like Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg and Reddit for promotion tools; the only we were linked to, is if we e-mail the blog authors and prayed to God that they even linked to us!

But, seriously, the rise in social media, Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Reddit all make it very simply to promote a blog. The truth is, you really do not have to pay for promotion; well, unless you are like me, someone that everyone thinks is an creep, an asshole or worse and nobody wants to link to you, for whatever reason. Then you might have to pay for some promotion. Otherwise, today, all you have to do is find your target audience and use twitter, Facebook and the rest to promote yourself.

On the other hand; Blogging has also created a few unintended by-products. I will list them:

  • Blog Snobbery – This is as old as blogging itself. You always have your various classes of blogger. The big guys and the little guys. The big guys were little guys at one time and because of linkage and influence; and because they got in on the blogger scene early, they became huge. Well, when they did, they basically said piss on the little guys and never link to them and such. This causes hard feelings towards them, and gets them called snobs. The big guys forget that no blogger is a island and they got where they were, because of other people. Sites like Memeorandum, promote that sort of snobbery. Because some people feel that if you are not on that site, you are nobody, which is bogus. Because they are good deal of great political writers and other sort of writers that are never scanned by Memeorandum at all.  Also too, that blog snobbery stuff, it happens on the left and the right as well. I never, ever got any respect back in 2006, when I was all into the “hate Bush and the Republicans” thing back then. It mainly was because I was not partisan enough for them, and too, because I really was not big into the “Gay Rights” thing and because I was not much into the idea that abortion is cool thing either. On the right, it is because I just do not get into identity politics of the right. It sucks, and those who do it, hate me, because I won’t.
  • The Political Echo Chambers – This is one of the more depressing things about the political blogging scene on the left and the right. Take a quick scan of Memeorandum and you will see what I mean. All of the lefty blogger all talk about the same story and repeat the same thing. The right does it too. One only need to have the Memeorandum colors plug in for either Google Chrome or Firefox to see what I mean there. I did this on my old blog, for about 6 months or so, after Barack Obama was elected in 2008. I made some decent money at it, I also made friends with people; whom looking back, were nothing but backstabbing weasels. Finally, one day, I just decided that I just had enough. I got into blogging to tell the truth, not say what everyone else was saying and I just stopped the whole echo chamber thing.

Another thing that bugs me about the whole political blogging thing; is that I have noticed that some people have to sell themselves out to be someone in the blogging world. I have noticed this on the right mostly. I have actually seen one blog, who I will not name here; actually write on his blog and I quote, “Good press can be bought!” I almost fell out of my chair when I read that. I do not know if he was being sarcastic or serious; but I thought to myself, “What a freaking sellout….” This is something that I have never done, changed my opinion, because some fat cat waved money under my nose. It has never happened and never will. My thoughts, opinion and worldview are not up for sale.

Everything, and I do mean everything on this blog; that I have ever written, was written because I happened to believe that thing to be morally right or wrong. I believe that the federal Government is not necessarily the “end all” of all what ails America. I disagree with the progressives that big corporations are what stops Americans for being all that they be. It is the Government that does this. It also is, in some cases,because of the people themselves. At the same time, I have supported Republicans and when they decided to lie to people, like me, who voted for them; I turned on them and decided that I wouldn’t support those who lie to their constituents. This did not happen, because some idiotic liberal fat cat waved money under my nose. This happened because I happen to agree with Patrick J. Buchanan, when he said economic patriotism and economic populism is dead. This is called having a moral compass and knowing the corporatists or crony capitalists are why unions were formed in the first place. Plus too, I am defending my family, the honor and legacy of my Father and my grandfather, who came here from the hills of Middlesboro, Kentucky and Dalton, Georgia to find work and make a better life for themselves and because the UAW and the organized labor movement, they were able to do just that. Most idiotic Republicans do not get that; which is their problem, not mine.

Anyways, back to Dana Loesch and the Breitbart clans. Dana does not much like me. She is a feminist and I do not have much use for those sort of women. I am a hardcore Fundamentalist Christian, although, I don’t always act like it, but I digress — and me and Dana had some interesting exchanges on twitter a while back. So, I just sort of avoided her. I just do not believe that feminism is a Conservative mindset at all. I am someone of the Phyllis Schlafly and Patrick J. Buchanan camps, when it comes to that sort of stuff. Which is why I do not get along with those types at all. Plus too, I am a hardcore defender of the Military and those who serve in the Military, irregardless of political stripe. Dana, as I found out; made some very nasty statements about her Father, and Vietnam, that I felt were totally immoral. I realize her Dad was not the greatest in the world. But, in my humble opinion, no one deserves to be told that they should have ended up on the Vietnam memorial wall. I don’t give a flying flip what they did to their kids. That, my friends, is just damned wrong.

As for Andrew Breitbart, I never much cared for the man. A long time ago, Andrew made some asinine comments about Ted Kennedy, on the day he died. I understand someone not liking someone like Ted Kennedy; but making comments like that goes beyond the pale. After that, I never gave the man much thought, until he died. I took no pleasure in his death at all. But, unlike some, I did not act like he was some sort of perfect being, nor did I join in the chorus of those on the right, who acted like he was some sort of Conservative god or something. As for those who bought Breitbart’s company. I was never approached by them, thankfully. I felt the buying of the company and continuing it and profiting off the name of a dead man was sick and morbid. Which is why I linked to them sparingly on my blog. I felt that the Breitbart thing should have just ended, when his life ended. Which tells me much about the morality of those involved in the thing.

…and those are my thoughts. All 1929 of them. 😀

Update: The Lonely Conservative says something that I believe many writers should read:

Note to new bloggers: If you think you’re going to work for anyone out there besides yourself make sure you get a contract and have it looked over by a lawyer. If our own side is doing this to our own side, anything is possible. Make sure you protect yourself.  I don’t think Andrew Breitbart would have treated his friends this way, but unfortunately, he is not available for comment.

I agree with that 100%. If something sounds and looks fishy, that it most likely is; which is what was the case with the person who contacted me. It just did not sound right, and the presentation sounded fishy. So, I passed and I am glad I did.

A very touching tribute

For Andrew Breitbart, is found here. 

I couldn’t stay long; the nearby burial service was ending and I wished to be gone before they passed by. I bent down on one knee, my hand touching the location marker as I said a very Catholic prayer in a Jewish cemetery, asking God to take Andrew James Breitbart into His eternal rest and favor. I didn’t cross myself so as to not offend anyone who might have happened to look my way, but inside I did. I then stood up and quietly walked away.

As I said, I’ve answered the question for myself.

Andrew Breitbart belongs to God now.

He couldn’t be in better hands.

Amen.

One slight quibble; I would have not mentioned where he was buried. There are just way too many crazy people, who hated the man’s guts, that are out there. Plus too, there are some things that should just be kept private. Breitbart belonged to his family, not us. Yes, he made himself public, but in the end. He was simply not ours. He made himself available, but now, he is gone and should be left to rest in peace.

Like many others, I never had any personal interaction with him; once, he did do something that made me angry. I will not go into it, as it really does not matter anymore. But, he was a powerhouse, who made lots of friends on both sides of the political spectrum. Heck, even his worst enemies said nice things about him, when he died. Which is a quite a feat.

The people that I feel sorry for, are his family; his Wife and Children. They are the ones who lost, not us. We will always have someone fighting against the liberals. We will always have blogs, twitter and facebook. However, Andrew’s family will never have — Well, Andrew, around anymore. This is the part that breaks me up to think about; that Andrew was so caught up in politics, that it caused or at least contributed to his demise. It should serve as a sobering reminder; one that we should all look after ourselves and not take any silly chances with our health and two, that we should all take a big step away from the computer and politics and enjoy life.

Rest in Peace Andrew — We’ll take it from here.

 

One of things that I did not like about Andrew Breitbart

…and no, it has zero to do with him being an adopted into a Jewish family.

What it has to do with is this: For some reason, Andrew Breitbart, as shown in this video and linked to by Glenn Reynolds — seemed to believe that America was somehow a Democracy. This is nothing more than a bald-faced lie, created by Big Government statists.  America was NOT founded as a Democracy, Democracies are nothing more than mob rule.

America was founded, as a Constitutional Republic. In fact, anytime any of the founding father’s mentioned Democracies, it was not in glowing terms at all.

Perhaps Glenn Reynolds should watch this video here for a refresher about America’s founding.  The sick part? Reynolds is a supposedly a Constitutional Lawyer.  My question is, which Constitution is he teaching, Venezuela’s? The sick and sad part, is that Reynolds and his friends will pan the video, because it happened to be produced by group that was smeared by the Neocon prince William F. Buckley — Himself a tool of the CIA and the Governmental establishment.

Of course, I do not expect Reynolds to even acknowledge this posting, seeing his Neoconservative friends have blacklisted my blog for linking and even going as far to flag my trackbacks as spam to prevent me from getting any traffic. Which is typical of the NeoCon right, using tactics right out of Saul Alinsky’s book.

Sorry to have to sound so offensive, but this is just one of pet peeves about the Neoconservative right. They have this odd idea that America is a Democracy, when in fact it is not. Remind me again, how are they, being the Neocons —- different than the left again?

I am just saying.

Chuck Baldwin minces no words about Paul Ryan

I have to like Chuck Baldwin, he does not mince words:

It has happened again. We go through this every four years, and every four years the vast majority of “conservatives” fall for it. This is such a broken record. What did Forrest Gump say: “Stupid is as stupid does”? And wasn’t it P.T. Barnum who said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”? Well, here we go again.

Neocon RINO George H.W. Bush picks “conservative” Dan Quayle. “Conservative” G.W. Bush picks neocon RINO Dick Cheney. Neocon RINO John McCain picks “conservative” Sarah Palin. Now, neocon RINO Mitt Romney picks “conservative” Paul Ryan. As long as there is one “conservative” on the ticket, mushy-headed “conservatives” across the country will go into a gaga, starry-eyed, hypnotic trance in support of the Republican ticket. I’m convinced that if Lucifer, himself, was the GOP Presidential candidate, he would get the support of the Religious Right and Republican “conservatives” as long as he selected a reputed “conservative” to join his ticket. And, by the way, the notable “conservative” wouldn’t think twice about joining such a ticket, either, I’m convinced.

Let’s just get this on the record: since 1960, there have only been two Presidential nominees (from the two major parties) who were not controlled by the globalist elitists. One was a Democrat, John F. Kennedy; the other was a Republican, Ronald Reagan. Kennedy was shot and killed; Reagan was shot. Every other President, Democrat or Republican, has been totally controlled, which is why none of them have done diddly-squat to make a difference in the direction of the country. On the issues that really matter, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are just more of the same!

via Chuck Baldwin — Paul Ryan: More Of The Same.

He goes on to say that Ron Paul is the only one; and I disagree with that. However, I will say this; he is right about Romney and Ryan. Which is I am voting for:

Goode/Clymer in 2012

He will not win the election

But voting for anything else is simply Anti-American

Living proof that liberals are classless human beings

Before we begin, a little music….:

For your reading pleasure:

DEAD ANDY BREITBART IS NOW ROMNEY’S TOP CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST
DougJ / Balloon Juice:  Bad like Jesse James
BooMan / Booman Tribune:   Welcome Back to Palinville  —  I think Steve M. is right.

Go read that stuff and come back here. I’ll wait.

Now, did you read that? Let me ask you this; what if we Conservatives mocked a dead liberal like that? Just a note: Andrew Breitbart did say some nasty things about Ted Kennedy, which is why I was not a huge fan of his. But, still, what if we Conservatives mocked a dead liberal blogger, or public figure who was liberal? We would be poo poo’ed from one end of spectrum to the other!  Not only this, but if someone said something as nasty as what this “no more Mr. nice blog” said and it was about a liberal; the Non-Fox media would be all over it. However, because it is a liberal blogger, and a nasty son-of-a-bitch one at that, not a word is said about it.

My friends, this right here; along with a good deal of other issues, is why this skeptical left-of-center, American populist kind of a guy simply walked away from the Democrats in 2008 and has not looked back since.  They have nothing anymore, nothing that this skeptical person wants to buy anymore. All they have is nastiness, like this; class warfare, and racial resentment. They have no solutions, they have nothing for the middle class and the working man. They are the party of the minority and the identity politics crowd; the part of hand outs and freeloaders.

It is truly a sad thing to behold, all the years of work done by great statesmen, like Roosevelt, Truman and many before them; is being squandered by people who simply hate this Country, its morals and its legacy. These are the ones who gave us LBJ and his disastrous “great society.” They are the ones who gave us Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and now this disastrous neo-leftist Barack Hussein Obama.

The Democratic Party, which President Ronald Reagan referred to as the “Honorable Party” has given way to the neo-leftist party.  They proved that to me, when the Obama campaign basically used Chicago-style tactics of death threats and dirty pool against a fellow Democrat. This is why I left them; because the honor left that party long ago. Not only that, but the Democrats scheme to bring down our capitalist system though the passage of a clause of to a bill, which turned out to be a rather benign piece of legislation into a ticking time bomb.

Yes, that my friends, is the party that I made the horrible mistake of voting for until 2008, when I finally stopped making excuses for them and realized that party had finally become — and that is a cesspool of hate, racial resentment, class warfare, murder (of babies), God denial and more. I simply had enough and switched to the side that honors God, America and the individual. No, I do not mean the Republican Party — I mean the side of Conservatism.

It is a choice that I do not regret.

Update: Apparently one of the liberals objects to my linking to him. Two words: Tough rocks. He also seems to have a bit of reading comprehension problem; which is typical of the left.  He also sent one of his sock puppets to argue with me. Sorry, I don’t argue with idiots, and ya’ll bunch of idiots. But, thanks just the same for the traffic. 😀

 

A followup on an previous entry

Now before I begin this, let me state for the record, that this is not a walk back of any sort, but rather a followup to an older posting.

It appears that when I posted my entry titled, “It’s a damned shame” that I did not have all of the information related to what was going on.

It does seem that a particular person does have a bit of a problem; and that problem is hate. For the record; yes, I did check out his timeline and yes, I did see some stuff that, yes, even bothered me.

Let me also state that I am one of the most open minded persons in the World. I even have been known to stick my own size 12 foot in my own mouth during the heat of the battle and I have ended up apologizing for it afterward too.

However, when I see someone joking about one of the biggest players in the Jewish Holocaust and thinking that it is actually funny — that is a problem.  Please Note: I am not a rabid anything and I tend to keep in open mind. However, what happened during that time period is not funny or even something that should be even remotely joked about, at all. If one does this, it does, in my mind; bring into question one’s motives and — quite bluntly, their sanity.

Anyone that knows me and anything about my blogs that I have ran for the last 8 years; knows that I have been a “Tell it like it is, shoot from the hip” type of a guy. However, I also happen to be someone, who has a build-in moral compass. When that moral compass senses evil and wrong; I head in the opposite direction. This is what happened here and this is why I blocked said person mentioned in the blog posting linked to in this blog posting here. I also blocked a few of his friends too.

I tend to make a point to stay out of blog disputes and wars.  But, I do not wish to be associated with those who traffic in hate. Not after what happened to me a few years ago. No way, No how.

 

 

 

Wait Wha? Students Chant “USA! USA! USA!” at High School Basketball game after winning — and are called racist

This one is for the “WTF?!?!?!?” file. I swear, I thought this was a headline from a report from The Onion.

Update: Video: (H/T HotAir.com)

KSAT.COM has the story with Video:

SAN ANTONIO –

A local school district is apologizing after an apparent incident of racism at a boys high school basketball game this past weekend.

When the final whistle blew Saturday, Alamo Heights celebrated a convincing victory over San Antonio Edison.

Alamo Heights Head Coach Andrew Brewer said he was proud of his team.

“Tremendously proud,” Brewer said. “Tremendously. It’s the best group of kids.”

But it was just after the trophy presentation when the coach was not proud of the chant coming from Alamo Heights fans.

“USA, USA, USA,” they chanted.

San Antonio Independent School District officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones.

On the KSAT 12 Defenders Facebook page, Santos Villarreal’s post reads “this has to stop.”

SAISD Spokeswoman Leslie Price heard about the incident after it had happened.

“This is very disrespectful to our students,” Price said.

She said the district is glad the coach put a stop to the chant immediately and hopes Alamo Heights addresses it quickly.

“It is surprising and it’s disappointing to hear that anyone would be out there making those kind of remarks,” Price said.

Edison students who attended Saturday’s game were shocked when they heard the chant. Some thought the fans of the victors should have been better behaved.

Ruby Arredondo and Forest Lebaron are seniors at Edison and Julian Castellano is a junior.

“I was very surprised,” Castellano said. “Very appalled.”

“They didn’t really have any class,” Arredondo said.

“It just rubbed us the wrong way,” Lebaron said.

Alamo Heights Superintendent Dr. Kevin Brown also apologized for the chant.

“We just hope that people know that that’s not who we are and we’re not going to let it happen again,” Brown said.

Let me get this straight; white American kids chanting “USA! USA! USA!” because they happen to be Americans and are happy they won basketball game is now racist. Wait Wha? 😯

Here is a novel idea to the minorities who were offended by this; how about you idiots just take your offended asses back to the Countries that you came from? If this Country and it’s people and customs and prosperity offend you that much, then go the hell home and leave we Americans to our culture. 

If it were not bad enough that these kids are pegged as racist, they are now FORCED to apologize for something that they are not even remotely guilty of and are now banned from attending any of the school’s games.  If I were the parents of any of these kids, I would get me a lawyer and sue the living hell out this Anti-American school district. Furthermore, I would remove my kid from this school district and either enroll him or her in a private school; like a Christian school or I would Home-school the kid!

Again, folks; this is your far-leftist mentality that is rampant in this Country; and in, off all places, TEXAS no less!  This is why I have continued to blog, after the end of the Iraq War. Not because I am some sort of a great writer or a wealthy Republican or even a wealthy Conservative; it is because of idiotic nonsense like this right here. It is what Andrew Breitbart was fighting against and it is what we as patriot Americans must take a stand against!

I am Andrew Breitbart….. and this is war. 😡

Update #2: Oh and Tina? Since when is Nationalism a bad thing? Pride in ones Country is not racist; I know you did not say that. But the idea that someone should not be a Nationalist, is absurd. Now, White Nationalist? That is a horse of different color. Those folk are evil, but regular old Nationalists, who love their Country, like me — are usually harmless.

Again, I stand by my statement; you do not like here — get the heck out and go back where you came from. Racism? Nope. It is called REALISM. 😡

Team Breitbart to release unedited Obama Video

This ought to be real interesting.

Earlier today, Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released “the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.”

The video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright–about whom we will be releasing significant information in the coming hours.

However, the video has been selectively edited–either by the Boston television station or by Buzzfeed itself. Over the course of the day, Breitbart.com will be releasing additional footage that has been hidden by Obama’s allies in the mainstream media and academia.

Breitbart.com Editor-in-Chief Joel Pollak and Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro will appear on The Sean Hannity Show to discuss the tape. The full tape will be released tonight on Fox News’ Hannity.

You can bet your sweet rear end that I will be watching this one. I just hope like heck that it is actually something and not another nothing burger, like this last one was. Sometimes a play, is just a play!

Update: Now a huge Memeorandum Thread.
