AG Nominee Loretta Lynch Questioned Over Secret Deal Depriving Crime Victims Of $40 Million

(Obuma's perfect pick... liberal, woman, black, ignores the law and
proficient in corruption and fraud.  Real AG material)

More than a year before President Obama nominated federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch to be attorney general, a former federal judge quietly called on Congress to investigate her U.S. attorney's office for trampling on victims' rights.

Paul Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah, said Ms. Lynch's office, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, never told victims in a major stock fraud case that a culprit had been sentenced — denying them a chance to seek restitution of some $40 million in losses.

Feminist Blocking Metro Door With Her "Personal Space Box"

(Moonbats are an odd group of people to say the least... The looks on the faces of the three guys behind her is priceless and they are trying really, really hard not to get in her personal space.  What the "oh so liberated" woman does not realize is that if someone does decide to get into her "personal space", that stupid box she has both her hands on is a real hindrance to her defending herself...)

Woman Suing Jeffrey Epstein For Sexual Slavery Claimed Bill Clinton Must Have Known

Teenage girl recruited by paedophile Jeffrey Epstein reveals how she twice met Bill Clinton

(Another Willy Clinton Scandal??  Nothing new here... move along)

Via Daily Mail:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1363452/Bill-Clinton-15-year-old-masseuse-I-met-twice-claims-Epsteins-girl.html

Jeff Epstein, is the subject of the law suit which indirectly claimed Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew had sex with minors (there is no evidence of either and both strongly deny the claim). But when the suit was first filed, nine months ago there was another name involved which is not part of the latest media firestorm, Bill Clinton.

The lawsuit contends that a plea deal made by Mr. Epstein for soliciting prostitutes did not consider all of the victims. It adds that one of the claimants (known as Jane Doe #3), was underage when she was forced by Epstein to have sex with several men, notably Great Britain's Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz. When the lawsuit was announced in March, the plaintiff Virginia Roberts who was underage at the time, said while she didn't know if Bill Clinton partook in the naked massages from young girls, but he had to know what was going on.

Bill Clinton, traveled with Epstein to a number of destinations, including three times on the billionaire's private aircraft. Some of the underage massages happened on that plane.

On one occasion, she adds, Epstein did invite two young brunettes to a dinner which he gave on his Caribbean island for Mr Clinton shortly after he left office. But, as far as she knows, the ex-President did not take the bait.

'Bill must have known about Jeffrey's girls. There were three desks in the living area of the villa on the island.

'They were covered with pictures of Jeffrey shaking hands with famous people and photos of naked girls, including one of me that Jeffrey had at all his houses, lying in a hammock.

'We all dined together that night. Jeffrey was at the head of the table. Bill was at his left. I sat across from him. Emmy Tayler, Ghislaine's blonde British assistant, sat at my right.

'Ghislaine was at Bill's left and at the left of Ghislaine there were two olive-skinned brunettes who'd flown in with us from New York.

'I'd never met them before. I'd say they were no older than 17, very innocent-looking.

'They weren't there for me. They weren't there for Jeffrey or Ghislaine because I was there to have sex with Jeffrey on the trip.

According to the Smoking Gun "as part of a civil suit filed against Epstein by several of his victims, lawyers for the women floated the possibility of subpoenaing Clinton since he "might well be a source of relevant information" about Epstein's activities."

That would be interesting, as we know Bill Clinton has a little problem with honesty when he gives depositions in civil law suits.

Walmart Shoplifters Left Kids In Vehicle, Failed To Inform Police When Arrested

(Already out of the running for parents of the year... "The two had a first-appearance court hearing on Tuesday before Broward Judge John "Jay" Hurley. Both were released from jail without paying a bond."
Hello??  Grand theft and child abandonment and they are released on no bail?  Figures!  And the mothers name?  Tosheba?  Apparently named after a stolen laptop.)


Via Sun Sentinel
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/lauderdale-lakes/fl-children-alone-when-parents-arrested-20150106-story.html

Three young children spent seven hours alone in a car in a Walmart parking lot after their parents were arrested and accused of shoplifting at the store, authorities said.

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, Tosheba Hope, 30, and Gerald Moultrie, 24, were arrested about 7 p.m. Monday at the Walmart at 3001 N. State Road 7 and accused of grand theft.

After being arrested, the two failed to mention that three children —ages 2, 5, and 7— were waiting for them in their parked car, said Gina Carter, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. Hope is the mother of the three children; Moultrie is the father of one of them, she said.

The children were discovered about 2 a.m. Tuesday by a store employee who then searched for their parents inside the store. The children were upset and crying, but not physically hurt, Carter said.[...]

According to a sheriff's arrest report, Hope and Moultrie picked up tools and vehicle accessories at Walmart valued at $660 and failed to stop at a cash register to pay for them. As they left the store, a Walmart employee stopped them, it said.

The two had a first-appearance court hearing on Tuesday before Broward Judge John "Jay" Hurley. Both were released from jail without paying a bond.

Hope told the judge that she had three small children and was "probably pregnant" with another.

Lib Rag Time: Women Waiting In Line To Use The Bathroom Is "Sexist"

(Never ending insanity... Are these women braindead?  I imagine the reason they are standing in line is because women probably take longer in the bathroom!  The only discrimination I see in women's restrooms is the fact that they get their own stalls while we men have to pee in front of each other.  Who exactly is discriminated against?)

(Get rid of the porcelain toilets and go to Asian squatty holes, takes up less room.  Learn how to not defecate or urinate on the heels of your shoes...)

Via TIME:

If you're a woman, chances are you've a) spent time fidgeting in a long line waiting to use a public toilet, b) delayed a bodily function because you don't want to or haven't the time to waste standing in line to use a public toilet, c) considered sneaking into a men's room—illegal in some places, or d) cursed loudly because of all of the above.

Faced with a long restroom line that spiraled up and around a circular stairwell at a recent museum visit, I opted not to wait. Why do we put up with this? This isn't a minor pet peeve, but a serious question. Despite years of "potty parity" laws, women are still forced to stand in lines at malls, schools, stadiums, concerts, fair grounds, theme parks, and other crowded public spaces. This is frustrating, uncomfortable, and, in some circumstances, humiliating. It's also a form of discrimination, as it disproportionately affects women.

After counting the women, I tweeted, "Dear @britishmuseum there are FIFTY women and girls standing in line for the loo while the men's room has zero line #everydaysexism." Immediately, people responded with the suggestion that women use the men's room. But even more responses were defensive, along the lines of "How on god's green earth did you arrive at the conclusion that this was sexist?"

Little Al Crapton Says The NY Post Shouldn't Attack Him For Shaking
Down Businesses Because They GIVE HIM MONEY, Too

(Grab your popcorn... 'cause this is going to get good)

Via Daily Caller:
http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/06/exclusive-sharpton-the-ny-post-shouldnt-attack-me-they-give-me-money/

Al Sharpton says the New York Post should not have accused him of shaking down businesses because he also shakes down the paper's corporate owner.

"SHAKE DOWN AL" screamed the Post's Sunday front page. "How Rev gets paid not to cry 'racism!'"

The story ripped Sharpton for going easy on companies who donate to his National Action Network.

But in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Sharpton's central defense was that News Corp — the company that owns the New York Post — also fills his coffers.

"I am not going to let them get around the fact that their company has been involved, has donated money, had us on their board of diversity."

Biden To Orrin Hatch's Young Granddaughter:
You're So Hot You Need "A Big Fence Around The House" To Keep Perverts Like Me Out

(If Biden was a Republican the media would be calling him a sexual predator...)

Vice President Biden couldn't keep his compliments to himself when he spotted the youthful granddaughter of Sen. Orrin Hatch on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

"I hope you have a big fence around the house!" Biden told the girl, Emily, as she joined her family for a photo session with Biden to celebrate the swearing-in ceremony for the Utah Republican.

Hatch, 80, is the father of six children, many of whom were on hand to mark the start of his sixth Senate term.

WaPo Guide For Women Looking For A "Feminist Boyfriend"

(Check the closet, that's where they usually hide...)

How to find a feminist boyfriend – WaPo
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/how-to-find-a-feminist-boyfriend/2015/01/02/ebd9ed10-8f7b-11e4-a900-9960214d4cd7_story.html

'I find it really attractive how successful you are," my date said, leaning in for a kiss.

Sure, it sounds like a line. But it also sounds like feminism. It certainly made him more appealing than the guy who said, "Wow, you're really ambitious," like he was surprised. Or the one who asked, "Why do you work so much?" and "Why would you want to work even more?" when I was angling for a promotion.

It didn't work out with any of those men, but going out with them made it all the more obvious to me what I want a partner to be: cute, smart, funny and . . . yes, feminist. So go ahead, alert Susan Patton, Lori Gottlieb and the rest of the get-married-already crowd: A 30-something single woman, eggs unfrozen, is telling other single women that they should dare to want it all if they ever hope to have it all.

But how do you spot a male feminist if he's not at an abortion rights rally wearing a "This Is What a Feminist Looks Like" T-shirt?
