More Philly attention whoring

Posted: November 26, 2013 by doubleplusundead in This Is My BOOMSTICK!

The Soviet Enclave of Philadelphia is going to pass a law banning the manufacture of 3d printed firearms, which will immediately be challenged and nullified in court, because the Commonwealth has a preemption clause regarding gun laws, which as far as I can tell exists at this point specifically to rein in Philly.  Philly has been pulling this bullshit for years, they pass any number of bans and anti-2nd measures, then get slapped down in court.  Over and over.  This is nothing but political theatre from the commie smacktards running Philly.

And the Fox News article should have at the least noted the Commonwealth’s preemption laws regarding the right to bear arm, lazy reporting on their part.

I Did Not See That Coming

Oh wait, yes I did. So did we all.

So the whole point of the law was ostensibly to insure the uninsured. At least, that’s what was screeched at me over and over.

US hospitals are exploring ways to buy “Obamacare” insurance plans for their sickest and poorest patients as they strain under the weight of tens of billions of dollars in uncompensated costs from the uninsured.

But the move is opposed by the Obama administration…

Huh, weren’t those people the whole point of the whole fucking thing?

Why it’s almost as if everything they said about it was a lie!?!?!?!??!

Saw it at Ace’s.

Plant

This dude was a plant.  Little doubt in my mind.

The NBC evening news [spit!] dutifully “reported” that few hecklers get so close to the POTUS.  IIRC, I think they said that he was “invited”, which from what I can gather, means that the whole crowd was invited, and presumably subject to at least minimal vetting. (Also, as I search news articles for this story, I see some outlets are scrubbing the word “invited” from the text.)

Upon hearing this, I immediately became convinced this supposed heckler was a plant.

  • The heckler acts as an aesthetic foil, an angry voice countered by Obama’s calmness.
  • The heckler acts as a sympathetic character, who Obama can agree with on substance.
  • The heckler allows Obama to lie about following the law in a context unrelated to wanton lawlessness with Obamacare.
  • The heckler acts as a distraction from Obamacare, serving as a pivot vehicle.

And he just happened to get close to the President at this event…

A Drudgetaposition

Taxprofblog’s coverage of the 200th day of the IRS deal.

First story:

Scant evidence of fixes at IRS after scandal

Exactly as expected. I’ve been waiting for day 200 to write this post, I wasn’t sure it would be illustrated so perfectly but I should have expected it.

This kind of surprises me, usually Victor Davis Hanson notices reality much sooner and here he’s noticing that Obama’s peeing all over our real allies to suck up to our enemies.

A Puppy Blender linked VDH comment at the Corner.

Will allies like Japan or South Korea feel that the U.S. has reasserted its old global clout, or further worry that their patron might engage in secret talks with, say, China rather than reemphasize their security under the traditional U.S. umbrella?

Yeah, I bet Japan is just starting to worry about that.

Senior U.S. administration officials held secret talks in North Korea on at least three occasions in 2011 and 2012, The Asahi Shimbun has learned.

Although the visits had potential implications for Japan, Washington did not inform its security partner at the time and only informally confirmed one of them when the Japanese side pressed, government and other sources in Japan, South Korea and the United States said.

 

So what did Obama do when Japan said, “WTF dude?”

The U.S. State Department even warned the Foreign Ministry against making further inquiries, saying they would harm bilateral relations, the sources said.

 

That’s diplospeak for “STFU”.

So yeah, I imagine SoKo, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines are all pretty sure Obama will sell them out and  they’re on their own when China gets frisky just as Poland (Obama canceled Poland’s missile shield deal on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion (not Nazi) at the beginning of WWII) and the rest of eastern Europe know they’re on their own when Tsar Putin I gets frisky.

That’s pretty much a given at this point.

Okay, this morning has been like waking up after going out drinking with your ass aching and $2 on your nightstand.

First we have Obama going one better than Carter. Again.

Carter, recall, actually made the deal with the Norks that Clinton had to either accept or arrest Carter for diplomatting without a license.

Obama actually sent J Fucking Kerry, on purpose!?!?!?!?!, to make a deal instead of Clinton just letting some anti-American asshole go.

Obama’s deal with Iran is going to be a fucking nightmare.

Iran will keep doing what they’re doing, we get the unentertaining theater of UN nukular inspectors who are working for Iran while Iran gets sanctions eased. Something for nothing and your bitch for free.

China, sensing weakness, is upping their war-mongering (not nearly as funny as warmmongering) in the South China Sea, they’ve declared that they own the airspace over the whole area and Japan and the rest need to file flight plans with them when flying over international waters from Japan to the islands Japan owns.

Hagel is “deeply concerned”, that and an aircraft carrier group will get you some respect.

Too bad our nukular carriers are being “refueled”.

I hope Japan’s carrier fleet is ready.

Meanwhile, in the US, we have gangs of black youths roaming the streets sucker-punching not so random strangers (they’re not black seems to be the criteria) and posting the vids online.It’s not a hate-crime, cuz it’s black targeting non-blacks for their skin color and there’s no stealing going on, they just want to hit an “Other”.

Huh, when I put it that way it seems to be the definition of “hate-crime”, committing a crime just for hate. Now I’m against any “hate-crime” law ever, but if you’re going to have them don’t just use them to hassle whitey. That’s a hate-crime in itself.

Steyn, of course, relates it to the end of civlization.

Since it’s Steyn, he has some mots that are particularly bon.

he (CS Lewis V) writes of “men without chests” — the chest being “the indispensable liaison” between the head and the gut, between “cerebral man” and “visceral man.” In the chest beat what Lewis calls “the trained emotions.” Without them there is no honor or virtue, but only “intellect” and/or “appetite.”

Not Steyn’s, but that’s pretty perceptive. Except for a subset, and that subset is not in political, social or moral power, we are fully at the “men without chests” stage.

One thing I think he missed

To paraphrase my compatriot George Jonas, punching a spinster’s lights out isn’t wrong because it’s illegal, it’s illegal because it’s wrong. But, in a world without restraints, what’s to stop you? If a certain percentage of your population feels no moral revulsion at randomly pulverizing fellow citizens for sport, a million laws will avail you naught: The societal safety lock is off.

You see, we have laws for so much stupid shit that people break the laws all the time. Once you break one law, it’s easier to break the next one. Sure it starts with something like “wearing a hoodie in a no-hoodie zone” law or smuggling lower tax cigs (fucking stupid laws) and the next you’re sucker punching whitey for youtube fame.

This one is so fucking chillingly hilarious that I can only liken it to Pennywise the Clown killing and eating a mime.

In his novel That Hideous Strength, C. S. Lewis gives his fictional bureaucracy the acronym NICE — the National Institute for Coordinated Experiments. A few years ago, the British government dusted it off for real — the National Institute for Clinical Excellence. It performs cost-benefit analyses of medical treatment and patient care — i.e., NICE is a euphemism for “death panel.”

I’d say, “Heh”, but it’s more like “aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….heh”

RTWT, it’s depressing but interesting.

I had a point but I’m only on my first cup of coffee so I lost it. Sorry. I guess I owe you some hottassery. (more…)

Your Win! Of The Day

Posted: November 23, 2013 by veeshir in Win!

Type, or cut and paste I guess,  senatorfeinstein.com  into your browser.

Highlarious and all about teh Win!

Not sure if it’s old, but I just noticed it.

instead of WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!?

I know I’m sick of hearing about how boned we are, let’s hear about how how boned someone else is.

The best part is that, like Obamadebaclecare, it’s self-inflicted.

Also like Obamadebaclecare, it has layers. Like an onion or an ogre.

Hmmm, should we start with teh funny or end on it? Start with it I think, I hate to wait.

‘Father of Suicide Bombing’ Reportedly Injured in Iran Suicide Bomb

Heh. That’s funny.

Even though the guy is a liar if he’s claiming to be the father of suicide bombing. After all, we all know that’s the Arafish and he’s already in Hell with 72 Virginians shoving hot pokers up his ass. Too bad he enjoys that.

But it does clear up something I was wondering about, this story about Saudi Arabian terrorist/diplomats clearing out of Lebanon for fear of Hezbollah killing them.

So they did that a few days before the car bomb war in Lebanon heated up.

The suicide attacks were “just the beginning of a process of applying the Iraqi model to Lebanon,” sources close to the Shiite group Hezbollah told Al-Rai newspaper.

  The sources also expect a rise in such attacks in Lebanon “similar to what is happening in Iraq.”

And if Hezbollah says a car bomb war is going to heat up, you would be smart to believe them.

I’ve said it before, but Lebanon did it to themselves, I have no sympathy whatsoever for them. They wanted Hezbollah, they got Hezbollah and all that comes with that band of murderous terrorists.

On the downside, Iran appears to be planning on spreading the unrest to previously stable  Jordan.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that a rebel force was being formed in neighboring Jordan to launch an offensive in southern Syria’s Daraa as well as in the outskirts of the capital Damascus, Al-Joumhouria newspaper reported Friday.

As we all know, the chinless dorktator in Syria is just an Iranian puppet. Sort of the relationship between the Norks and China. They’re “Plausible Deniability” states in other words.

Jordan is in a tough spot, all they want to do is not be involved in Islamic terrorism, but the region around them is awash in it.

They try to keep the peace by keeping their Palestinian “refugees” in “camps” and allowing them no civil rights whatsoever but if Iran and Saudi Arabia (who hates Jordan) decide Jordan is the next battlefield in their war, well, that’s that for the Hashemites.
