Straight Outta Solutions
Over the weekend, the hagiographic film "Straight Outta Compton" pulled in $60 million at the box office. The film follows the trials and travails — but not the woman-beating, gay-bashing, violence-promoting activities — of NWA, the iconic rage hip-hop group made most famous by their anthem, "F— Tha Police." The theme of the film, according to reviewers, centers on the evils of the Los Angeles Police Department and white authority. Paul Giamatti, playing Paul Giamatti on steroids, screams at a group of stock-casting cops, "You cannot harass my clients because of what they look like!" He tells the group, "You have a unique voice. The world needs to hear it."

I appreciate the clear logic with which he explains the folly of our nation making deals and concessions with tyrannical regimes in Iran and Cuba, in the naive hope that they will change their ways. The other day Rubio appeared on Fox and was asked about the Black Lives Matter movement.
Black Lives Matter Racists Strike Again
Ferguson, MO turned once again into a scene of violent race hatred when a man police authorities say opened fire on them on the anniversary of Michael Brown's death was critically wounded when police returned fire. He released a "remarkable amount of gunfire" against the officers using a stolen handgun, explained St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar. That incident occurred shortly after "an exchange of gunfire between two groups" Belmar described as criminals, not protesters. "There is a small group of people out there that are intent on making sure that peace doesn't prevail," he said.
