Al Sharpton’s daughter sues city for $5M after spraining ankle

She learned at the feet of a master.
DADDY IS SO PROUD OF HIS BABY GIRL
Shakedown artist Al Sharpton’s eldest child wants $5 million from city taxpayers after she fell in the street and sprained her ankle, court records show.
Currently on vacation in Bali, the membership director for her gadfly dad’s National Action Network claims she “still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries,” according to the suit filed against the city departments of Transportation and Environmental Protection.
“I sprained my ankle real bad lol,” she wrote in a post to Instagram after the Oct. 2 fall.

How did $17 million disappear from Clinton Foundation?

HEY,WE HAD BILLS TO PAY
Before Hillary Clinton completed her first year as President Obama’s secretary of state, Wall Street analyst and investor Charles Ortel calculates $17 million went missing from Clinton Foundation financial reports.
“The Clinton Foundation and the Obama Administration presented to the public a false narrative, namely that when Hillary became Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation had to guard against conflicts of interest,” Ortel explained in a second report he made available to WND exclusively before publication.

Firefighters fear colleague who routinely flees fires

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION STRIKES AGAIN
He’s a firefighter in name only.
Michael D. Johnson won’t fight fires. Instead, he stays on the sidelines as his Engine Company 257 colleagues rush into burning buildings, FDNY insiders told The Post.
Nicknamed “Tragic Johnson” by the rank and file, he’s managed to evade the smoke and flames several times since joining the Canarsie, Brooklyn, firehouse last year, sources confirmed.
But department members are afraid to openly complain or criticize Johnson, who is black, because he was hired under a court order to increase minority hiring in the FDNY.
Johnson, 41, a former city EMT who earned two medals on that job, was among 282 “priority hires” — applicants passed over in 1999 or 2000 as a result of discrimination, a federal judge ruled.
His June 2, 2014, graduation class of 286 probationary firefighters was hailed as the most diverse in FDNY history — 24 percent Hispanic, 17 percent black and with four women.
“The department seems to not want to give a f–k about any of this because they want to fill their quota,” the source added.
Johnson saw his salary soar from the $44,520 he made as an EMT in 2008 to $76,488 last year as a firefighter, according to See Through New York data.

Too Many Black Students Suspended Leads Oakland Schools to Stop Punishment

POOR,UNDERPRIVELEGED,CHIRRENS
Feel free to cuss, mouth off, leave class
Board members of California’s Oakland Unified School District unanimously voted on Wednesday to cease suspending students for what they call “willful defiance.” Those behaviors can include swearing/yelling at teachers, refusing direct orders, texting, and storming out of class, to name a few.
The reason? Concern that too many black students are being suspended for willful defiance.

Under Cross Examination Ed Schultz Says MSNBC President Phil Griffin Was Wrong

I CAN’T IMAGINE SPECIAL ED NOT BEING ABLE TO SCREAM UNTIL HE TURNS RED IN THE FACE.
He said it was Obama’s first press conference in which Ed sat in the front row and asked Obama a question. Griffin said he was so impressed that he called a meeting with Ed at the Four Seasons in Washington D.C. to find out how he — GASP! — got to sit in the front row and question the President of the United States.
Except it never happened. Griffin was — however you want to interpret it — lying, exaggerating or severely mistaken.
Asked if Griffin ever spoke to him about questions he never asked, Schultz denied his boss ever brought up his possible hallucination at their first meeting.

ABC’s ‘Blackish’: ‘Black People Aren’t Republicans’; Don’t Want to be ‘Uncle Tom’

Wednesday’s episode of ABC sitcom Blackish treated Republican African Americans as abnormality that could not be tolerated. Father Dre Johnson, played by actor Anthony Anderson, began the show by proclaiming: “There are certain things in life that are just true. Fact: The Earth revolves around the Sun. Fact: Two times two is four. And fact: Black people aren’t Republicans. We just aren’t. We vote for Democrats.”

Bipartisanship: McConnell, Stephanopoulos Reach Across The Aisle To Help Push Hillary Clinton’s Obamatrade.

McConnell is now taking his ‘non-partisan’ governing agenda to the media,” Daniel Horowitz of the Conservative Review, a leading critic of the GOP establishment, tells Breitbart News. “He has this leadership thing exactly backward. Instead of embracing conservatives, McConnell embraces the repudiated policies, politicians, and media figures of the Left.”

15 Baltimore neighborhoods have lower life expectancies than North Korea

Let’s look at a hypothetical case of two babies born on the same day this year in Baltimore. One is born in Roland Park, a wealthy neighborhood in the north of the city. The other is born just three miles away in Downtown/Seton Hill, one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods.
The Roland Park baby will most likely live to the age of 84, well above the U.S. average of 79. The Seton Hill baby, on the other hand, can expect to die 19 years earlier at the age of 65. That’s 14 years below the U.S. average. The average child born this year in Seton Hill will be dead before she can even begin to collect Social Security.
