U.N. Launches Investigation of Human Rights Violations in the United States

In yet another example of the deliberate disintegration of American sovereignty, the Executive has opened the door for  a United Nations (UN)  “Special Rapporteur” to probe–for the first time ever– human rights violations by the United States regarding affordable public housing in urban areas.

The perception that drives the investigation is  first, that housing is a human right, and second, that there isn’t enough affordable public housing in urban areas in the United States. I disagree with the first premise in that it is not in our constitution, but agree with the second.  However, I doubt that a UN person who has never lived here will understand the complexity of this issue in the United States.

The Special Rapporteur  Raquel Rolnick has been appointed by,  and is under a special mandate from the UN Human Rights Council , the successor to the UN Commission on Human Rights.   As part of her ‘fact finding’ mission, she will visit New York City, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Washington, the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota, and Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

UN Special Rapporteurs can only visit countries that have agreed to invite them.

“Photos of My Father(?)”

Five rare photos of Barack Obama, Sr. appear…

So I wonder if junior has even seen these photos?  Many have commented that there is no resemblance in these photographs…so let’s put them out there and see if anyone else notices they don’t look alike!

I long ago lost interest in analyzing ‘Dreams of My Father‘ as it seemed to me to be contrived, full of unfinished thoughts and events,  and too different than the Barack Obama I had grown to suspect, rather than respect.  And even in Dreams, he never really describes who his father is, rather  he ‘makes him up’.  His strategy was to dazzle people with some story that pushes only emotional and guilt buttons, so  they would ignore the fact that his father was a British citizen, and therefore, so was he.  But you know, things have a way of catching up.

In 2008, a blogger uncovered a long-lost article by Barack Obama, Sr., called “Problems Facing our Socialism”, which was published in the East Africa Journal. From Politico:
