| Tuesday’s ceremony would have been a routine swearing in of a new attorney licensed to practice in North Carolina, except for Sharika Robinson’s long journey against nearly insurmountable odds to get there. Robinson, a 30-year-old single mother of four children, graduated in May, first in her class of 157 students from the North Carolina Central University School of Law. On Tuesday, she was sworn in at the Wake County Courthouse by state Supreme Court Associate Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson, the first African-American woman and the third woman elected to serve on the state’s highest court.

Comments: Ok, I´m going to be the Grinch and say it. I wonder if her kids are all that happy about it? She has been working and going to school full time, plus finding the time to hook up...so where did she have the time to raise her kids? She is quoted as saying she wasn´t going to get married and let her goals go. Her kids should have been her number one responsibility, yet they were in the way of her goals. This is a sad story to me, not uplifting at all.

One more lawyer is born. One more lawyer to ruin other people´s lives. One more minion for Satan. This isn´t a good thing.

Another proud alum of NCCU is crystal Mangum, the prostitute who falsely accused the Duke LaCrosse team players of raping her. (crystal is in prison, for shooting one of her boyfriends.) (I believe in giving credit where credit is due.)

She continued to have kids; thus getting $$$ and all kind of other ´benefits´ from the state. Who paid for this education? To be sure she didn´t.
This is just another example of how these welfare sluts use the system. I am sick of it.

This should be a story of accomplishment but she had a whole support group that pushed her through, including a very strong grandmother and a real father. Not to mention the fact that they raised her children for her, so it´s not like motherhood interfered in any way. I hope the girl is grateful and doesn´t claim too much credit.

She is a liberal, so the childraising is automatically assigned to a variety of other people and institutions. Her living expenses are probably paid for by the government. And her degree probably came the same way the genius in the whitehouse got his....affirmative action and no intelligence.

Maybe if she wanted something different she should have stopped having children by whatever man was handy? Hasn´t she heard of birth control? Or did she need to have those kids so she could get enough welfare to live off of so she could afford college? All the ´odds´ she ´overcame´ she put there herself. I don´t see anything to celebrate in this story.

This sounds like "Julia", the 0bama campaign´s composite of a woman availing herself of entitlements throughout her life. OF COURSE we paid for her education, her entire lifestyle and that of her four (and counting) kids.

I guess the message here is that you´re praised to the skies if you make multiple bad choices, burdening your existing children with more and more competition for attention in a fatherless environment, get a handout or burdensome debt, and won´t ever be able to repair the emotional damage to your children.
So, its great that someone willfully shackles themselves with poor choices because why? Oh, I forgot. So that you can handle all the inevitable criminal catastrophes you have given birth to.

Amazing story. Earning a degree in chemistry from a competitive school like NC State University is a major accomplishment. In chemistry, your answer is either right or wrong. No fuzzy math allowed. My hat is off to anyone whose brain works that way.
NCCU law school may not be as competitive as UNC Chapel Hill or Duke, but you don´t practice law in North Carolina without passing the state bar exam. This young woman earned her degrees. Best of luck to her.

Another example of bad choice making being held up as a happy-ending role model.
You have two rule-following parents? You stayed in school, got good grades and kept your nose clean? Whatta ya want from us newsies, a gold star?
Thank goodness she set her low sights on lawyer and not oncology diagnostician.

Does help to read the article before commenting. Clearly she made some bad choices in high school that resulted in two babies, and compounded this with two more pregnancies in college...yet she still did not resort to cursed abortions or having kids and laying around as an uneducated welfare mom. Reportedely she worked throughout her undergrad and grad years and enjoyed the support of family in helping to raise her kids. Hope her engagement to the father of her first two kids leads to a lasting and successful marriage and a strong family...

You can bet that she got Pell grants or other grants plus subsidized loans that our grandkids will be endentured to the government to pay for. I hope she keeps that in mind and gives some credit (pun intended) to where it is due.
P.S. I don´t recall that it has ever been news when a male military veteran graduated at the top of his class. I refuse to make "single moms" a privileged class, held up as examples for others to follow.

When a devastating tornado touched down in Moore, Okla., on Monday afternoon, Shayla Taylor was on the upper floor of the local hospital, in active labor with her second child. As the floor shook “like an earthquake” beneath her and ceiling tiles and insulation fell overhead, the 25-year-old huddled with four nurses, braving both the peak contractions of childbirth and the wrath of the worst twister the veteran Oklahoman had ever endured. “We were all just sitting there holding each other’s hands and praying,” Taylor told NBC News.

Hundreds of Phoenix police officers converged on a Valley school Wednesday morning in a show of support for one of their own. The daughter of Officer Daryl Raetz, who was killed in the line of duty over the weekend, graduated from kindergarten today. Because her father couldn´t be there, her Phoenix Police Department family showed up to stand in his stead and celebrate Tatum. "She had 300, 400 parents up here for her this morning," Officer James Holmes said. "It was absolutely amazing. It was bittersweet and it was a bit overwhelming for all of us."

We regret to announce that Larry Conners is no longer a KMOV news reporter. Larry was a valued member of KMOV for a long time, and we will miss him. For KMOV, there is no higher cause than unbiased, objective news reporting. It is what our viewers expect and it is what we work very hard to deliver. We can accept no less. Larry is certainly entitled to his opinion, but taking a personal political position on one of the Station’s Facebook pages creates an appearance of bias that is inconsistent with important journalistic standards. Larry’s departure has nothing to do with the particular position

Lawmakers pressing for more heads to roll at the Internal Revenue Service are going to be disappointed. “Why weren’t more people fired?” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) demanded at a hearing Tuesday on the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, channeling the frustration of his colleagues. Turns out it’s not so easy.In fact, it appears that no one has been formally reprimanded and a spokesperson for the union representing IRS workers said it hasn’t been called to help any employees yet. Most employees involved in the targeting program are covered by protections for federal workers

The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol has some advice for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on the Senate’s immigration reform bill: Walk away. “He should walk away from it,” Kristol said Tuesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.” “He should say, I made a good faith effort, but you know what, this is not a piece of legislation.”The Weekly Standard editor told Ingraham that Rubio — who Kristol said he considers “a friend” — should step away from the “big government bill.” Instead, immigration reform should be dealt with issue-by-issue rather than by one comprehensive piece of “bad legislation,”

When Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) actually offered an amendment that would close the loophole during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee markup of the bill, Flake joined Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and all the committee Democrats in opposing the amendment.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”
