SummerSnow's JournalWATCH: NYPD Officer Dances the Whip/Nae Nae at Bed-Stuy Block Party
"The officer and his partner took some time to enjoy a block party and get to know those they serve," says the NYPD.
NYPD Officer James Ferrazzo of the 79th Precinct has gone viral for busting a Georgia-born move called the Whip/Nae Nae at one of Bed-Stuy’s famous summer block parties.
Bed-Stuy resident Daiyana Gordon posted a video of the dance party to YouTube on Sunday, July 26.
By the following Sunday evening, the video had been viewed nearly 150,000 times.
The NYPD says in a statement that Ferrazzo and his partner were taking “some time to enjoy a block party and get to know those they serve. The officers connected with kids as they threw a football and enjoyed some good food and conversation.”Gordon tells the Daily News:
“It was a great way of him showing the kids and the community that he is a regular person especially with all the negative publicity police officers have been getting. Police Officer James Ferrazzo and his partner were awesome the entire day. They threw footballs with the kids and shared in the festivities. We need them in our communities. We need young people to admire and look up to them, not fear them.”
The Whip/Nae Nae is a combination of the Whip, a dance in which one mimics the motion of driving a car, and the Nae Nae, a dance in which one mimics Shanae’nae, a ditzy character played by Martin Lawrence (in drag) on his sitcom, “Martin.”
And Silentó, a teen rapper from Conyers, Georgia, can be credited with combining the two moves on his hit track ”Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).”

**Very nice**
Thurgood Marshall.. "What is the quality of your intent?"
What is the quality of your intent?
Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even
when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering.
What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we
intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each
of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We
cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the
energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We
should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and
around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.
My intent will be evident in the results.”
Have you ever heard of Jim Gilmore?
He plans to announce his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination in the first week of August 2015
This guy is dangerous...
Gilmore is the President & CEO of the Free Congress Foundation , a conservative think tank which was founded by Paul Weyrich. Paul Weyrich was a white supremacist, anti Semite, anti gay etc. He passed away in 2008

She's here!!! Sarah Palin: McCain Is A Hero — And So Is Donald Trump!
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sarah-palin-trump-mccainBySARA JERDEPublishedJULY 21, 2015, 12:49 PM EDT
Sarah Palin told CNN that she knows of two heroes in politics right now – her former running mate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and the man he can't seem to agree with – Donald Trump.
Palin, the 2008 Republican vice president nominee, told CNN on Monday that both men are heroes in the middle of a war of words fueled by the media.
"Sen. McCain dedicated his life to serving our country, and in my humble opinion the sacrifices made by all ethical service members are heroic – putting it all on the line to defend freedom IS heroic – and Donald Trump is a hero in another arena," Palin told CNN, in an email.
"Both men have more in common than the today's media hype would have you believe. Both blazed trails in their careers and love our great nation,” she said.
McCain has said Trump, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, “fired up the crazies” and called other politicians in his party “whacko birds.” Trump said that he does not consider McCain a war hero because he was captured and spent five years as a prisoner in Vietnam.
Palin also threw a little shade at McCain.
“Everywhere I go," she told CNN, "hard-working patriotic Americans – not 'crazies' or 'wacko birds' – ask me to pass on to Mr. Trump encouragement to keep educating the masses about true ramifications of illegal immigration, and in general the real state of our union."

American Backstab: Sarah Palin's Second Betrayal of John McCain
It's another Palin con job: She's nowhere in the middle of the road on this one; she's in a ditch somewhere to the right side of demagoguery -- clearly siding with Trump and chastising McCain for his criticisms of Trump and those who support his racist rhetoric.

Matthews: Republicans Don’t Want Trump Now, But Were ‘Giggling’ at Birtherismby Ken Meyer | 8:16 pm, July 21st, 2015
Throughout the media discussion surrounding the backlash Donald Trump has received for his comments, one of the recurring questions has been about why the GOP condemnation is so widespread this time around, but not when he was riding on the back of the birther movement.
During today’s Hardball, Chris Matthews said that the Republican “roar of disapproval” was much more tangible now than it was when they were “[enjoying] the clown act” in which Trump attacked President Obama.
Steve Schmidt said there were members of the GOP like himself and fellow guest Michael Steele who recognized that Trump’s rhetoric was inappropriate then as well, and it agreed reflected badly on the party.
Matthews acknowledged that it wasn’t condoned universally, but noted the party largely “giggled in their backseats” while Trump was using the movement in order to “miniaturize” Obama:
“He bragged about forcing the president, like they stopped him in a car, let’s see your license. The miniaturization of his persona was part of the Republican plan. Everybody loved it when it was working for the party. Now you see the clown act writ large and he’s going after your own people. We shouldn’t have Donald Trump in our midst. Well, you got him.”

Graham: 'Don't vote for me' if you're 'worn out by war'
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Americans on Thursday not to vote for him in the 2016 presidential election if they are worn out by war.
The 2016 GOP presidential candidate appeared on Fox News’s "Fox & Friends," where co-host Steve Doocy questioned his past war hawk rhetoric.
“It’s a tough message,” he told Graham. “A lot of people are just worn out by war.”
"Well, don’t vote for me," the Republican senator responded. "Don't vote for me, because I’m telling you what’s coming: Barack Obama’s policies leading from behind are going to allow another 9/11."
"[ISIS] is large, rich and entrenched,” he added, referring to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. “If I’m president they will be poor, small and on the run.”
Graham also said that U.S. ground forces were necessary for defeating ISIS before they could reach targets on American soil.
“I’m trying to tell the American people and the Republican primary voter — the only way I know to defend this country is to send some of us back to Iraq and eventually to Syria to dig these guys out of the ground, destroy the Caliphate, kill as many of them as you can, hold territory and help people over there help themselves,” he said.
Graham further tied President Obama’s counterterrorism strategy to Hillary Clinton, his former secretary of State and the Democratic presidential front-runner.
“I think it’s the lack of confidence in her ability to distinguish herself from Barack Obama,” he said when asked about Clinton’s lack of media availability on the campaign trail.
“Her biggest nightmare is for someone to ask her, ‘Hey, do you think the war on terror is going well? Do you agree with Barack Obama’s foreign policy?’” he said. “’If you don’t, tell us why.’ ”
Graham added that Clinton’s perceived secrecy would likely cost her voters next year.
“Well, it’s easier to talk to the North Korean guy than it is her,” he quipped, comparing Clinton to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “At the end of the day, when 57 percent of people don’t trust you, you’ve got a problem,”
Graham officially launched his 2016 presidential campaign on Monday from his hometown of Central, S.C.
He has already made a muscular foreign policy a key theme of his bid. “I want to be president to defeat the enemies trying to kill us, not just penalize them or criticize them or contain them, but defeat them,” he said on Monday.

Poll: Palin Would Bring Much-Needed Dignity to Republican Field
BY ANDY BOROWITZ
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would bring much-needed dignity 
to the 2016 Republican field, a new poll shows.
According to the poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, Palin’s ability to articulate
her positions on issues with precision and restraint is sorely lacking among other entrants in the G.O.P. race.
Additionally, voters said that the former governor’s breadth of knowledge in the fields of economics, foreign affairs, and American history would place her head and shoulders above the current crop of Republican hopefuls.
In the words of one voter who was surveyed, “When I hear some of these candidates talk, I sure do miss Sarah Palin.”
Despite the overwhelming sense that she would contribute gravitas and intellectual rigor that have been woefully missing from the G.O.P. contest, a Palin candidacy appears unlikely, a spokesman said.
“Governor Palin is very flattered by this poll, but she is concerned that being associated with this field of candidates could harm her stature,” he said.

When a black German woman discovered her grandfather was the Nazi villain of 'Schindler's List'
I just thought this was interesting...
An odd series of events led Jennifer Teege to discover that her grandfather was none other than the notorious Nazi Amon Goeth.
By Avner Shapira | Feb. 6, 2015 | 7:05 PM |
In the mid-1990s, near the end of the period during which she lived in Israel, Jennifer Teege watched Steven Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List.” She hadn’t seen the film in a movie theater, and watched it in her rented room in Tel Aviv when it was broadcast on television.
“It was a moving experience for me, but I didn’t learn much about the Holocaust from it,” she tells me by phone from her home in Hamburg, mostly in English with a sprinkling of Hebrew. “I’d learned and read a great deal about the Holocaust before that. At the time I thought the film was important mainly because it heightened international awareness of the Holocaust, but I didn’t think I had a personal connection to it.”
Indeed, it was not until years later that Teege, a German-born black woman who was given up for adoption as a child, discovered that one of the central characters in the film, Amon Goeth, was her grandfather. Many viewers recall the figure of Goeth, the brutal commander of the Plaszow concentration camp in Poland – played in the film by Ralph Fiennes – from the scenes in which he shoots Jewish inmates from the porch of his home. But Teege, who had not been in touch with either her biological mother or biological grandmother for years, had no idea about the identity of her grandfather.
The discovery came like a bolt from the blue in the summer of 2008, when she was 38 years old, as she relates in the memoir “Amon,” which was published in German in 2013 (co-authored with the German journalist Nikola Sellmair), and is due out in English this April under the title “My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi Past.”
