Mission Mix Up: “NAACP: Voter ID Unfair To Transvestites”
The NAACP multitasks: “While participating on a ‘voting rights” panel at Netroots Nation, an annual gathering of far-left activists and bloggers, Jealous added to ‘is belief that Americans shouldn’t have to show a photo ID when voting by saying Voter ID laws put transgender Americans at a disadvantage.”

King Samir Shabazz Busted on STATE Gun Charge
King Samir Shabazz, the infamous New Black Panther, has been busted on a New York state charge of having a firearm. He was also wearing BODY ARMOR.

WSJ Wire: “White House announces two nominees to FEC”
Washington Wire at the Wall Street Journal reports on two new FEC nominees:
The White House announced two nominees to the Federal Election Commission, which has been deadlocked on most important cases and inquiries for the past several years. President Barack Obama nominated a proponent of political election reform, Democrat Ann Ravel,
who is currently the Chairman of the California Fair Political
Practices Commission. He also nominated a longtime expert on campaign
finance law, Republican Lee Goodman, who is at the LeClair Ryan law firm in Washington and served as GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul’s adviser in 2012
….Mr. Goodman will succeed the current vice chairman of the commission, Donald McGahn, a Republican, who will continue to serve until Mr. Goodman is confirmed.
In a statement, Mr. McGahn applauded the president for “finally”
nominating a GOP replacement, but also took a swipe at his opponents
inside the commission. As many well know, I have long desired to leave, but committed to
stay to prevent the FEC from further trampling on our First Amendment
and Due Process Rights,” he said.
