Al Sharpton's daughter, Dominique, told to save incriminating Instagram hiking pics by NYC lawyers

By Kellan Howell, May 23, 2015, The Washington Times

New York City lawyers have ordered Rev. Al Sharpton’s daughter Dominique not to delete Instagram photos of her recent hiking trip in Indonesia. Ms. Sharpton has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the city for “permanent” injuries she claims are attributable to falling on an uneven sidewalk.

The city Law Department sent Ms. Sharpton a letter telling her to preserve all of the evidence posted on her social-media accounts, the New York Post reported Saturday.

Ms. Sharpton, 28, filed a lawsuit suing the city for $5 million on May 7 claiming that she will never fully recover from a sprained ankle she suffered when she tripped on an uneven Soho street on October 2.

Leaked Selfie Of Malia Obama Shows Her Supporting A VERY Shady Organization

Michael Cantrell, Young Conservatives

The real concern here isn’t the selfie, it’s why in the world President Obama–the leader of our nation–is allowing his daughter to publicly support a group comprised of individuals who have a history of committing acts of violence?

Let’s be real. This isn’t responsible parenting. Allowing his daughter to be involved with these people, even from a distance, gives them an even bigger platform to express their ideals, which are questionable at this point.

Military Times: Obama Salutes Marine With Coffee Cup, Outrage Ensues

President Barack Obama "Latte Salute"

By GPINGERSOLL, Sept. 23, 2014, Militarytimes.com

On his way to participate in a United Nations talk on Climate Change, and coming from his national address on airstrikes in Syria, President Barack Obama stepped off Marine One and proceeded to salute Marines with a coffee cup in his hand.

White House aides later posted that video to Instagram, and that’s when things went downhill. The White House press department didn’t immediately respond to queries about the salute.

ABC published a story dubbing it the “Latte Salute.” Washington Times ran a headline that incorporated the words “Semper Latte.” Finally, a Daily Caller story cited the manual for Marine officer candidates stating the salute is “the most important of all military courtesies.”

Of course the comment sections in each of these posts featured more than a few disgruntled folks. Twitter also hosted a horde of trolls.

Obama isn’t the only president who’s had a salute snafu (or two). Then-President George W. Bush was somewhat infamously captured awkwardly saluting while holding his dog.

The presidential salute, while not required, has become somewhat of a protocol since the Reagan years.

Carey Winfrey, the retired editor of Smithsonian Magazine and a former Marine, wrote an outstanding article for the New York Times about the presidential salute. In it, he asserts, “when it comes to salutes (and one or two other matters), presidents deserved to be cut some slack.”
