Inept Hamas bombers kill their own people

The IDF says that they've tracked at least 160 total rockets fired that fell short and landed in Gaza, killing Palestinians and destroying infrastructure such as a vital power plant......that Israelis pay for and maintain.

Of course when this happens the Palestinians run hysterically to the friendly media and blame the Israelis for the death and destruction, blame the media are only too happy to regurgitate to the world.

DHS becoming a heavy-handed domestic police force

The DHS was created in the aftermath of 9/11 to protect America from terrorists, man-made accidents and natural disasters, but it has far overstepped it's purview in recent years to become a standing domestic army arrayed against US citizens for all manner of petty "crime". 

Power-mad DHS thugs have been used to seize contraband NFL jerseys for copyright infringement,  to stage a terrifying show of force outside a courthouse in Greenville, NC when promoting the idiotic "See Something, Say Something" program, to storming a small Illinois town with a black helicopter, armored vehicles, and heavily armed agents all to apprehend some dude for downloading porn on his computer, to most recently when six black DHS SUV's full of heavily armed agents/thugs seized a couple's 25 year old, recently purchased on eBay, $60,000 Land Rover because it failed to meet current EPA emission standards.....no due process, no appeals heard, nothing. 

DHS more than any other agency except maybe the EPA, is emblematic of America's decline into a militarized police state where a national police force operates heavy-handedly and without accountability, apparently.  

Obama promised a national police force as well-funded and armed as the military and that's what we've got. 

This might be what you see out your front window if you drive the wrong car, look at the wrong website, or think anti-government thoughts.

Obama praises the imaginary achievements of Islam in the US

This is Obama's statement to mark the end of Ramadan:

In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy. 

"...many achievements and contributions"? Which ones would those be? I'd like to see one reporter or reporterette ask anybody in the administration this question. Why does Obama feel compelled to prop up the cult of Islam by pretending that they aren't for the most part, a backwards, primitive cult with a single-minded purpose which is the conversion, dhimmification, or slaughter of any who deny the pedophile Mohammad? I don't get it. 

It's National Lipstick Day

It's national lipstick day. Why we need to recognize, as a nation, the use of lipstick is anybody's guess. I mean lipstick serves the same purpose for women that high-heels do......to entice men. And let's be honest, aren't we men glad that there's a multi-billion dollar industry established solely for the purpose of women competing for our attention? I know I am.

Mad Max: Fury Road -- trailer

Here's the trailer for the new Mad Max movie entitled, Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy and an almost unrecognizable Charlize Theron. Looks absolutely brutal.....I can't wait.

 

George Will's on a liberal guilt trip on immigration

Apparently-clueless enabler George Will, characterized the tens of thousands of "children" rushing across our southern border to cash in on our absurdly generous welfare system, as "8 year old's with teddy bears".

From everything I've read, many or most of these people are teens who have already been a participant in the crime lifestyle that plagues their home countries. The media only show the 8 year old's with teddy bears so that Americans will feel guilty for wanting to turn them away.

I wonder how many of these "kids" George will be happy about matriculating with his grand kids at their school?

Here you go George, meet the "8 year old's with teddy bears" that'll be helping themselves to your grand kids' lunch money and more.

Welcome to the neighborhood

Through executive action Obama has hatched a scheme to start shipping "children" by the tens of thousands (who claim to be under 21 but from whom no proof of age will be required) from Honduras directly to the US, at taxpayer expense, and designate them as official "refugees" so they can immediately start gobbling up the welfare resources that US taxpayers work so hard to generously provide.

Many of these "children" are already in the Latin gangs, the most violent in the world. Depositing them into America's neighborhoods guarantees that they will eventually become gang-infested slums, but in the short-term self-satisfied liberal politicians can smugly claim to the media cameras that we are saving them from gangs back home.

Obama has no plans of any kind for assimilation, just come here, be taken care of by our absurdly generous welfare programs, become citizens, breed like rabbits, and above all, vote democrat. If this program works out he plans to expand it to El Salvador and Guatemala.

I swear, the scale of the treason we are witnessing dwarfs anything Vidkun Quisling was accused of. Yet there is virtually no resistance. (Moonbattery)

Meet the "children" who'll soon be showing up in your neighborhoods and at the schools with your kids. Better lock up your daughters.

Attention NJ housewives, put down the gin and start ironing

If your wife is a horrible housekeeper and it infuriates you, do you A) tell her to clean this crap up, B)hire a maid to help her out, or C)stab her 84 times and leave her body with a pig mask on it....ostensibly to let the police know when they find her body, why she deserved to be murdered.

Apparently, according to this article, if you live in New Jersey, the answer is C.

Nigel Sykes knows how to game the currupt legal system

Meet oppressed victim Nigel Sykes. He's suing the owners and employees of a pizzeria because they were "unnecessarily rough" on him when they detained him as he tried to rob them at gun point. And for good measure, he also names the cops in the lawsuit claiminging they used a racial slur when they tasered him. He demands to be paid $260,000 for his trouble. 

Of course a big pile of free cash is coming his way from the cops because calling any minority a liar is itself a de facto act of racism in the eyes of our upside down kangaroo criminal justice system. He's got them either way. 

The only question left is whether Nigel will bankrupt the pizzeria with legal costs and put all those people out of work?

Moral of the story: if you get the jump on a guy who's mugging you with a gun, don't detain him, kill him. That way the cops only hear your story.  

Obama steps on the gas with Cloward-Piven

With what probably the most sweeping executive action of his presidency, Obama plans to strike a deal with Honduran officials to designate their children as "refugees" so they can be brought, at US taxpayer expense, directly to the US without traveling dangerously through Mexico.

This is how Obama will bypass entirely the US congress when it comes to setting immigration policy. He'll essentially redefine "refugee" to include any children who live in a country where drug cartels operate and there is violence and who would like to come to America. Once defined as refugees, these kids are legally entitled to legal INS council at taxpayer expense, after which they become full citizens with critically-important voting rights. If these kids couldn't grow up to be loyal democrat voters, Obama wouldn't give them the time of day.

What we are seeing is the intentional displacement of the American citizenry with welfare migrants by the hundreds of thousands. If you think Honduras won't shove every diseased, mentally ill, delinquent they have to the front of the line, you're an idiot of the highest order. These colonists' demands will cripple if not collapse the welfare state. If the deal with Honduras works out, he'll duplicate it with El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, and eventually Mexico too.

Where are we going to warehouse all these new citizens? State-run orphanages? How will they ever assimilate when liberals will cater to their every whim in Spanish?

Obama has struck Cloward-Piven gold here with the immigration crisis. By turning it into a humanitarian mission for the children, he'll be allowed to bring the lice-infested waifs in by the hundreds of thousands.

The Obama presidency summed up in one cartoon

Nothing seems to distract Obama from the fund raising, golf, or lavish family vacations on the taxpayer dime. The world is crumbling yet Obama only pays perfunctory attention to the multitude of serious scandals by his administration, war between Russia and Ukraine, war between Israel and Hamas, the border immigration crisis, ISIS instituting Sharia law in Iraq and purging whole regions of Christians, etc.

He's the most disconnected, uninvolved, disinterested President I can remember.

Capital punishment shouldn't be this difficult, I mean technically, not politically

So after a number of recent "botched" executions, where the condemned men took too long to actually die, many states are scrambling to find a new drug cocktail that is more reliable and kills the prisoner faster. Currently, the three drugs used by most states are, in order of injection:

-Sodium Thiopental, a barbiturate that is used in the Netharlands for medical-assisted suicide. US execution use 3 times that amount for executions.
-Pavulon, a paralytic that binds neuro-muscular junctions, including the diaphragm, causing rapid respiratory arrest or asphyxiation.
-Potassium Chloride changes the electrical potential of the heart muscle which causes it to stop beating.

I don't know why or how this cocktail fails to kill a man in mere minutes. Apparently prison infirmary orderlies aren't skilled at administering it. Also, states are having to resort to different, more exotic, cocktails as drug companies are not granting permission for their drugs to be used for capital punishment. If the drug is sold publicly, I don't know how they have anything to say about it one way or the other.

Having said all that, there must be scores of drugs that will kill a dude in seconds, why all the trouble? How about a cyanide drug? Or how about a version of the gas chamber where instead of cyanide gas, they just raise the CO2 level? He'll go to sleep very quickly and within minutes die of hypoxia. That's the currently approved method of humane animal sacrifice in research labs.

For some reason we've made capital punishment much more difficult than is necessary.

NYPD very good at crime response. Crime prevention? Not so much

Heh heh, two days AFTER clever pranksters replaced the two American flags atop the Brooklyn Bridge with white surrender flags, NYPD decided to have a presence there. Police boats were churning up the river, NYPD choppers were circling above, and foot patrols stood vigil at each end while one cop on some sort of scooter rode back and forth across the span.

FOR WHAT? It doesn't do any good to slam the barn door after the horses have run away. Why pull these guys off of actual crime fighting and terrorism watch to patrol a structure after the vandals have already struck? The idea is terrorism prevention, not reaction to terrorism after it occurs.

Let's be honest, NYPD doesn't exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to scofflaws. Remember that one kid who snuck to the top of One WTC and took pictures for like 2 hours, and then the guy who did the same thing, but videoed his base-jump with a GoPro camera?

Where's all the security at these high-value targets before the vandals strike? It's ridiculous.

Breanna Mitchell's irreverence goes viral. Breanna doesn't care. Good for Breanna.

Typically self-involved teenager Breanna Mitchell tweeted this pic during a recent trip to Europe. And predictably the twitter-verse exploded with criticism and condemnation.

I don't see what the big deal is. She's what, 17? You're not allowed to smile, ever, if standing on concentration-camp grounds? This happened 75 years ago, not last week. What is she supposed to do, tweet a weeping selfie? Or a "frownie"? Or how about no selfie at all? It's 2014 people, get over yourselves.

Of course Breanna's reaction to the outrage directed at her embodies the delightful irreverence you'd expect from a teenage girl.

"Like apparently it's such a big deal that I smiled. Good Lord."

I'm with you Breanna.

A handful of folks in LA show up to remember Saint Skittles

In LA over the weekend, literally tens of people staged a protest against racial profiling and gun violence in honor of Saint Skittles (Trayvon Martin). The sign says, "Walking home is NO crime!". Correct, but stopping to repeatedly bash a guy's head on the sidewalk is.

No word on how many people got shot at the rally. Hilariously, at least for me.......people always get shot it seems at anti-gun violence demonstrations. What is up with that?

Change the term "democrat plantation" to "democrat hacienda"

Somebody took a poll over in my home state of Georgia and reported that as much as 97% of the population of that state wanted the border closed by any means necessary. Now I'm not convinced you can get 97% of people to agree that the sky is blue, so let's just say a vast majority of Georgians want the southern border closed and no doubt that would translate into every other state as well.

That said, the democrat party, and maybe even the republican party, will never build a fence, snake-infested moat, mine field, whatever, because it's not in the political interests of democrats or the media to do so. Obama wants to dilute the existing voting citizenry with a new population of reliable democrat voters.....Hispanics. To these newly legalized immigrants, and voting rights will always be part of whatever amnesty deal is struck, the democrats will bestow all manner of welfare and government assistance to insure that they never stray from the democrat hacienda.

What we are seeing now is the fulfillment of the long-term scheme for the democrats to never lose another election. If that means depressing wages, they'll just use that as an excuse to raise the minimum wage again. If that means the introduction of diseases we had eradicated 30 years ago, then we have Obamacare to offer them. If that means unemployment skyrockets because of hundreds of thousands of people suddenly entering the workforce, then we have unemployment benefits to support them in their lifestyles. If that means the urban centers become war grounds between Mexican gangs and black gangs, democrat politicians don't care, they live in gated neighborhoods out in the 'burbs.

America is being railroaded by the democrat party led by Obama and we are too lazy or preoccupied with Twitter to gin up enough outrage to do anything about it.

The putative list of Dems for 2016

It's starting to look like the democrats will have to choose among the detestable re-tread Hillary Clinton, the proud socialist and phony Indian Elizabeth Warren, and the deranged environmentalist Jerry Brown as their candidate for president in 2016.

Heh heh, what a slate of dingbats......but then I would have included on that list, an abysmally inexperienced community agitator, with a highly suspect background and utterly devoid of accomplishments, and look who the democrats and their media sycophants got elected.

Obama's alien dumping pattern has a purpose

You think the dumping of illegal aliens by the thousands on communities around the country doesn't have a cynical political calculation?

As of today, not a single bus load of illegals has been dumped into Arkansas or Louisiana, states that border Texas, states you'd think would be prime dumping grounds. But Sen. Mary Landreau (D) is vulnerable in Louisnana and Sen. Mark Pryor (D) is vulnerable in Arkansas. Obama, and by Obama I mean Valerie Jarret, is avoiding dumping illegals on states where democrat senators are vulnerable in 2014.

Hopefully this crass political scheme won't make a difference and the republicans will gain control the Senate regardless. I won't be holding my breath however, waiting for them to reverse anything that Obama's done regarding the alien invasion.

RIP James Garner

The Rockford Files was my favorite TV drama program, pretty much of all time. I don't think I ever missed an episode in high school. And what TV detective drove a cooler car the Jim Rockford? One of my favorite parts of the show were the messages his nutty friends would leave on the machine that started every show.

I might have to get the discography and rewatch it.

Man on the Moon

45 years ago today, Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon. Take a minute today and marvel at the ingenuity and determination required for a nation to invent manned flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 and then put a man on the moon and bring him safely home, in only 66 years.

That rapid advance of technology would have been unimaginable if you had predicted it in 1903.

Peggy the Moocher hates Obama's guts

Remember in 2008, Peggy the Moocher practically got the vapors over Obama's election and her high expectations for not having to pay for her own upkeep? Well, like a lot of other Obama voters, she doesn't exactly swoon at the mention of his name any more.....

“Just like the Wizard of Oz, Obama has turned out to be nothing more than a man behind a curtain. He was not who we thought or expected him to be.”

Heh heh, in other words, Peggy the Moocher hates Obama's guts. And rightfully so. She discovered what we knew all along, Obama is all talk, a phony community agitator who's long on flowery rhetoric but woefully short on actions or accomplishments. And she should be alarmed that he's intentionally replacing African-Americans as the favorite minority of democrats with Hispanics. 

Let's revisit Colorado in 2008 following one of Obama's lofty speeches and enjoy Peggy swooning with emotion over Obama. 

                       

Mark Kelly and his addled wife cling to relevancy

Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly started a gun-control group during her recovery, despite the fact that they both enjoyed recreational target and range shooting before she got shot. Kelly figured he could make more money being the aggrieved husband of a injured congresscritter wife than as an astronaut, so he's been dragging his addled wife around the country raising money to advance the liberal gun-control agenda by funding sympathetic electoral races.

Most of the $2.1Million they've raised this year has come from large donation by high-profile celebrities like Jeffery Katzenberg, the Soros family, and Harvey Weinstein. Regular Americans aren't swayed by their sob story.

You know who else isn't swayed by their sob story, democrats running for re-election in red states. They have told Mark Kelly to stay out of their state and keep his money. So who's a gadfly like Kelly going to give his money to? I guess to blue-state, gun-control democrats who can probably get elected without his help.

Surely this'll be the predictable end to Mark Kelly's use of his wife as a speech and fund-raising prop, since once your political usefulness wanes in DC, you don't have much of a future there.  

Take the tassel off the mirror and grow up already

Next to me this morning at a red light was a guy in his early twenties I'd guess, with his graduation tassel hanging from his mirror. Now surely no college graduate is that puerile so it must be his high school tassel, I brilliantly deduced.

And I thought, "Seriously?". Given the sorry state of general education in this country, I'm not sure HS graduation is worth celebrating as an achievement. In fact, I don't get HS graduation parties or these families who yell annoyingly as their kid struts across the stage to receive a diploma for barely accomplishing at 18 what kids in Sweden and Japan can do at 12.

If your development arrested at 18 and your fondest memory is rolling the principal's yard with toilet paper the day before graduation, don't advertise it. Take the tassel off the mirror and move on.

Deserter Bowe Bergdahl is about to cash in

Since traitor Bowe Bergdahl's repatriation, at great cost to US security, the Army hasn't decided whether or not to label him a defector or POW. Any thinking person who's watched the news knows, this guy deserted. He left a desertion note for Pete's sake. If the Army grants him POW status, he'll happily receive $350,000 of tax-free back pay.

Obama and deranged racist Eric Holder want Bergdahl to remain a POW and are almost certainly who pushed for him to return to active duty, at a desk here in the states, to demonstrate that abandoning one's post and military desertion isn't a big deal and there's really no punishment for it.

We used to execute people, or at least throw them in the brig forever, for doing what this nut job did. Now we make a hero out of him, award him fabulous cash and prizes for deserting, and give him another job. What kind of self-loathing country does this to itself?

Illegals invade small town across the nation

Many of the illegal aliens who're crossing our borders by the tens of thousands and calling themselves minors, are actually adults, but without documentation, nobody can challenge their claim, nor is any school or law-enforcement official allowed to. Outrageously, in order to perpetuate the ruse of "childhood", many of them are enrolling in middle and high-schools in the townships where DHS has bused them. Towns such as Lynn, Mass. where several hundred illegals have been dumped. Scores of these "minors" have enrolled in Lynn middle school along with actual middle-school kids.

Would you want a bunch of what are essentially adults in the classroom sitting next to your kid or worse, getting knifed by them in the bathroom for their lunch money?

It's almost school time again.....here are your kids' new classmates.

Bill Cassidy learns the hard way that abstinence-only doesn't work

Bill Cassidy is a republican state senator in Louisiana and he's running to unseat democrat Mary Landreau from her US Senate seat. Comically for me, he's also a crusader for abstinence-only for teen birth control. 

So of course predictably, his 17 year old, unmarried daughter just announced she's pregnant. By a show of hands, who didn't see that coming? Just as I suspected, zero.

I might offend some people here, but simply lecturing teenagers with hell-fire and brimstone threats that sex is bad until you're married, isn't an efficacious method for getting them to not have pre-marital sex. Did we learn nothing from Bristol Palin about birth control?

Nothing's wrong with teaching, on moral/religious grounds, that pre-marital sex is not the right choice to make. But teens are going to do what teens do regardless of what parents tell them. Some will have sex, some won't, regardless of how certain, sanctimonious parents are that it only happens to kids of bad parents. I'll bet the Cassidy's thought unplanned, teen pregnancy only happened to "bad girls", never their daughter. All you can do as a parent is educate them and hope they make good decisions if they find themselves in a situation that requires one......or never let them out of the house unsupervised. But that usually results in a lot of adult-level reckless behavior when they finally do cut the apron strings and leave home.

See, politically this is why republicans need to get off the moral high-horse.....it's too easy to be labelled hypocritical when the very things you judgmentally ignore happen to your family.

Congress urinates on Dave's leg and tells him it's raining

Vigilant reader and frequent flyer Dave, alerted me to the news that the feds are jacking up the TSA tax on air travelers, a few dollars per leg of your journey that could total as much as $420 Million each year. They claim that they'll use the money to pay down the national debt......I wouldn't hold my breath on that. 

Does anybody really believe congress when it says it'll direct the money toward the debt? 

Besides, $420 million is less than 1/2 of 1/10th of 1% of a $Trillion, and our debt is approaching $18 Trillion. Has congress ever, EVER raised taxes to pay down debt? No, they raise taxes to redistribute it to districts where their friends, incumbent congress-critters, are in electoral trouble. Paying down the debt is a bullshit cover story, when what they'll really be using it for is pork to help incumbents get re-elected.

If congress wants to demonstrate their commitment to reducing America's debt, they'll decrease the size of government in ways that actually decrease the spending, not just slow the rate of growth. Only republican congressmen are stupid enough to try to make us believe that slowing the growth of debt is the same thing as reducing debt. Democrats don't even pretend, they tell us up front that government isn't big enough, expensive enough, or intrusive enough and that to meet our needs, it must be bigger......and sadly for a little more than half of us, they're right. 

Dave, the liars we elected to congress want you to feel patriotic, even thankful for this new tax, every time you fly because you're helping to reduce national debt, but you and I both know you aren't. You're just helping some feckless, piece-of-crap incumbent get re-elected. How's it feel to be lied to and then used like that, and be forced to pay them to do it? Abuse like that is usually reserved for marriage.(I keed, I keed) But we all get lied to and used to enrich the lives and careers of congressmen and maintain the lifestyles of their suddenly high-maintenance wives.....this is just another one of many. 

Heads up nerds!

Heads up nerds! Saturday night will be prime viewing for the first of three "Super moons" of this year. 

Because of the moon's elliptical orbit around Earth, sometimes it is 50,000 kilometers closer(perigee) to us than at it's farthest point(apogee). When the perigee point is coincident with a full moon(two unrelated phenomena), we get treated to a nice large super moon. Take a minute or two from the idiot box this weekend and go out and enjoy it.

If you shop at Target, you may BE a target

I don't shop at Target, ever. 

First they forbade employees from saying "merry Christmas" to customers. Then they banned Salvation Army bell-ringers from their stores because they represent Christianity. Then they started marketing Che Guevera-themed product lines. And finally, they announced recently that they do not want shoppers to carry legal firearms.

Promptly, predictably, and ironically, gun-brandishing thugs staged robberies at Target stores in Georgia. It's as if by announcing the stores are gun-free zones, the company branded their customers and employees with actual targets.

If you must shop at Target, carry your concealed weapon in spite of the company rule. Your life may depend on it.

The presidents of Mexico and Guatemala collude against the US

I mentioned in an earlier post that the presidents of Mexico and Guatemala signed on Monday, an agreement called, The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage.

Here's a link to the article detailing what was agreed to.

When are we going to hear that Obama had something to do with facilitating this deal? Why would Mexico do this if not at the behest of Obama? Mexico has nothing to gain by granting safe passage up to America's border, unless Obama bribed them somehow. 

Obama wants as big a humanitarian crisis as he can manufacture down on the border because he knows most Americans, and certainly the feckless media, are crisis driven and our resolve to oppose amnesty will wilt when we're treated night after night, to story after story, with picture after picture of bedraggled urchins being warehoused in our own country. The bigger the crisis, the easier it'll be to get an amnesty bill passed. 

And amnesty will only be the beginning. Then the law suits will start. Smarmy immigration lawyers are already lining up client lists to sue the federal government for every little inconvenience these urchins experienced since they left home. The courts will be overwhelmed, the entitlement programs will be overwhelmed, schools and hospitals will be overwhelmed, and taxes will have to be raised to pay for it all. And Obama will have fundamentally transformed America as he promised and in doing so, created perhaps millions of future democrat voters.

Resentful Indians apparently enjoying our immigration problems

I guess we pale-faces deserve this......like about 500 years ago. Now stop whining about it and bring me $20 worth of nickels for the slot machine.  ;-)

Immigration crisis is Obama's intention

Obama is desperate to get an immigration bill passed, it'll be the only thing besides the ACA that he's been able to "accomplish" if you consider screwing over every tax paying citizen in the US an accomplishment. Yesterday, Michelle O lectured a bunch of pro-immigration lunatics that her husband would not wait for congress to act.....he's promised the same thing.

I just read where Mexico and Guatemala signed an agreement by which welfare peasants would receive safe passage from Mexico's heavily guarded southern border up to America's barely guarded southern border. Why would Mexico do this favor for Guatemala? There's only one plausible reason, somebody bribed them to do it, but who? Clearly the person who benefits the most from indigent waifs by the tens of thousands demanding welfare, medicine, food, housing, legal representation, clothing, education, and jobs is the person who wants Americans to be just as desperate as he is to get an immigration bill passed.....Obama.

If it can be shown that the Obama administration had anything to do with bribing Mexico in any way, to help diseased, central American welfare colonists get to the US more easily, he must be removed from office and thrown in jail.

Rahm and Jesse collude to get a federal crime bailout for Chicago

There are lots of failed cities in America, every one of them run entirely by democrats.....Detroit, New Orleans, Oakland, to name a few. But one stands out as the most violent city month by month.....Chicago....also run entirely by democrats.

Dozens of people get murdered by gangs and ordinary street thugs every weekend in Chicago.....children, innocent bystanders, and people just minding their own business. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and outrageous race hustler Jesse Jackson are demanding that Washington hand over billions to help stop it.

Why should tax money be taken from me, and other Americans not in Illinois, to line the pockets of politicians and charlatan reverends in Chicago? Why can't they fix their own problems? If they'd stop idiocy like preventing Chick-fil-A from opening franchises there, and instead change the economic and education environment, the crime rate might actually go down.

Obama shoots a little pool

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Obama shoots a little pool while his nation crumbles.

Clearly unconcerned with the "optics" of enjoying himself while the Israel and Hamas go to war, ISIS takes control of Iraq, welfare waifs by the tens of thousands, many of them gang members, pour across the border to suck at the generous American welfare teat, Americans on welfare reach record numbers, untold numbers of Americans give up looking for work, and scandal after scandal surround his disaster of a presidency, Obama seems more out off touch than any President in my memory.

I'll won't be holding my breath waiting for the media to finally turn on him as they would have years ago if he'd been any other President.

Israel should go ahead and wipe out Hamas, do the world a favor

What's the deal with Hamas suddenly? They kill three kids, then decide it's a good idea to attack Israeli civilians with rockets? The IDF responded with no less than 200 bombing runs over Gaza as at least half the Israeli population is taking cover in shelters.

For the first time in a long time, the Obama administration actually defended Israel and scolded Hamas. Somebody check real quick, are dogs and cats living together too? It's usually the other way around.

Israel is only going to put up with this for so long and when that time comes, if you live in Gaza, look out!

Obama's coming police state

Guys imposingly dressed like this may be coming to your town to intimidate you if you don't obediently allow Obama to warehouse disease-ridden illegals in whatever detention facility he likes, presumably to be released at some point into your community.

In Murietta, Ca. thugs just like this are being dispatched to make sure the next bus loads of welfare colonists get past the local citizenry exercising their constitutional right of free speech and protest.

When the citizens of a nation stop resisting an imperial federal government that is operating extra-constitutionally against them, they no longer occupy a nation at all, just a second-rate police state that's no longer worth fighting for.

Humans have been sending radio signals into space since about 1936. This graphic shows just how small our putative sphere of communication is in our own galaxy. The 200 light year stamp on the image would be the size of our blip in the year 2036 so it's actually smaller.....156 light years to be exact.

Still, there are 200 million stars hosting countless planets in a galaxy that is about 90,000 light years across. Surely some alien species has "heard" our call....unless they don't have devices that can detect our primitive radio signals. Either way, this shows just how small and insignificant Earth is in the grand scheme.

US southern border overwhelmed

I can't think of a single other nation that willfully ignores its own laws and lures, with the promise of lifetime care and support and legal representation, diseased welfare colonists by the scores of thousands.

I agree with Huck, we should suspend every penny of foreign aid money with which we shower Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, and Mexico, and spend it on feeding, clothing, housing, and medicating THEIR third-world ragamuffins who're now here.

Meanwhile, Obama golfs, vacations, and of course the fund raising never stops. 

Obama civilian security force, more powerful than congress

Taken from Jim Bridenstine's own congressional web page -- Congressman Jim Bridenstine (OK) was denied access yesterday to the HHS facility at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma currently housing up to 1,200 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally crossed the southern border into the United States.

How is it that a civilian, mercenary security dick hired by HHS possess the authority to prevent a US congressman on the Armed Services Committee, and who therefor has oversight of all military installations, from entering a military base in his own state? 

I got sidled this morning

So I'm grabbing some breakfast at the VA canteen across the street and I'm at the drink cooler selecting a V8-Splash to wash it down with, and this dude who works there, sidles up next to me, close enough that our shoulders are touching and he doesn't back away. He reached across me, which interfered with my reach, to get what he wanted, never acknowledging the intrusion.

Then he's behind me in the checkout line and again, he's right next to me, in blatant violation of personal-space, check-out line protocol. I was like, is this guy hitting on me, or just an ass-hole? It would have made more sense if he was hitting on me, but he needs to bring better game than that. 

I think he was just an intrusive sidler. Jerk!

"Overwhelm the system"......going exactly as planned

It is being reported that workers at immigrant detention centers are being threatened and intimidated into not speaking publicly about the nature and severity of the various diseases they're finding among the tens of thousands of immigrant children that are being warehoused in various cities along the southern border. 

From FoxNews -- A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.

The article says the security force is from the Baptist Family Children's Services and were hired by DHHS. 

I have one or two questions:

-Why is there a security force at all unless it's sole purpose is to intimidate the workers from alarming Americans about the wave of disease and mental illness that's about to be spread around the country?
 
-On whose orders, and by what right, can Americans be made to shut up? 
 
-Will these chartered buses be disinfected before letting paying customers on board?
 
-Who's supposed to pay for the warehousing, feeding, clothing, and medicating these indigent waifs? Presumably the taxpayers of which ever state gets stuck with them. I just found out today that several bus loads are heading for Anniston here in Alabama to a former military base. 

Hope, Change, Scabies, Chicken Pox, Lice, TB, Hepatitis, Strep, Measles, and various mental illnesses. Obama was right, immigrants really will change the rich tapestry that is America. But don't worry about the little tikes, they'll soon get to return to their lives of leisure and idleness compliments of the lavishly generous American welfare system.  

Not one, but two white house calligraphers

The Obama administration currently employs 456 people at a cost to taxpayers of $37.8 Million. Of that ridiculous amount of money, $184,504 went to just two calligraphers. All calligraphers do is hand address invitations to white house parties.

Uh, Microsoft has a number of very nice calligraphic fonts that you get for free with each copy of Word. In this down economy, with the real unemployment rate at like 18%, the middle class disappearing, and energy prices forcing all prices to skyrocket for everybody, shouldn't the government be setting an example of limited frivolous spending the way most American families are having to do?

Tuesday morning tunes, with Ed

This indie rock band from New York has caught my attention lately. You should do yourself a solid and check them out. For Atlanta readers, Bear Hands will be doing their thing at Midtown Music later this year.


 

Why can't everybody drive like me?

As most of you know, I have a firmly held belief that if everybody drove like me, America would be a much more pleasant, safe, and efficient nation in which to travel. But alas, there are annoying morons behind the wheel everywhere, tormenting me with their inconsiderate stupidity.

EXhibit A: I'm at a red light this morning, needing to get in the left turn lane to catch the green arrow. The turn lane is right there, but I can't squeeze between the curb and the car in front of me. There's a woman on her cell phone blocking my access to it, even though there are almost two car lengths of space between her and the car in front of her. She is utterly oblivious.

Finally I honk my horn and when I get her attention in the mirror, I give her the "scoot up" hand signal and she rolls her eyes and slowly rolls up. It only took like 2 meters and I could get by, but she glared at me as I drove past like I was being rude for disturbing her phone call. I briefly considered gracing her with a different hand signal, but decided to be the better person.
