Mostly endy.
Recall when the State Dept told Americans trapped in Yemen to call India.
Now, some Americans are captive of jihadis in Yemen (how do I know they’re jihadi? Cuz Yemen is Sietch Terror, duh) and the State Dept is on the job!!!!
he State Department said in a statement. “We are doing everything we can to get these individuals released.
“Due to privacy considerations, we do not have any further personal details or information to share,” the agency said. “The protection of U.S. citizens abroad is a top priority.”
That’s closing the barn door after the IRS steals your property for “structuring”.
Poor bastids, they’ve more boned than the average run of Americans (except those trapped in other failing states like Baltimore, Detroit, L.A. and NYC).
Want some more endy?
Well, you’re getting it anyway.
I think Americans should show just as much respect for the law as President Obama has.
Those words come from a law professor.
How’s that for endy?
From a public health point of view, abortion care, no less than contraception, is an essential measure to prevent the heartbreak of infant mortality…
So abortion will cut down infant mortality?
H/T Liberal Logic on the last one.
Actually, that last one had some funny it.
In a very endy way of course, but still…..
We’ve all seen this

So what did the tubes do that I love so much?
Notice the names on the bus.
That’s a better touch than the stain IMIO.
That’s one of my favorite somes.
Fucking Awe.
Via Gateway Pundit
From a foreign policy standpoint.
After Obama, nobody in the world is going to trust us for a long time. We’ll be generations recovering from the Age of Obama.
After electing Obama, twice!, we deserve and will get no respect or trust on the world stage.
So what’s the best we can hope for in the next POTUS?
Fear.
So I ask myself, which candidate is most likely to make the world fear us?
The answer is simple, it’s Hillary!.
Why?
Because she’ll think nothing of starting half-assed wars to make her look strong.
As with her husband, she has no idea about anything military and knows far too much to ever learn anything, so she’ll do much as her husband, just bomb shit randomly.
In other words, Hillary is the most likely to implement FrnkaJ’s Nuke the Moon stragety.
Let’s make the rubble bounce!
Important Update! Take two minutes to watch this funny yet scary video.
“Your enemies no longer fear you! Your allies no longer trust you!”
It’s pretty funny when they make fun of the Obama’s work out video.
The Second Amendment Foudation (SAF)won a round against DC’s “No Guns For You” law.
Quoth Veeshir at Say Uncle
The court relies on law-enforcement to enforce their rulings.
In other words, they’re relying on the “Justice” Dept or the DC police to enforce this.
Not gonna happen….
(from later comment) I’d like to be wrong, but I trust neither the DC police nor the “Justice” Dept.
In some exciting updates
We see DC “misinterpreting” the ruling.
The May 18th order from Judge Frederick J. Scullin, which issued a preliminary injunction against the District, prevents the city government from enforcing the “good reason” requirement embedded in its gun carry law.
While Judge Scullin agreed that the “good reason” clause is “arbitrary” and “far beyond” reasonable gun carry restrictions, the city said in its filing that the clause is the “central element of the District’s concealed carrying regime.”
SAF filed a motion to hold them in contempt of court, apparently that went nowhere but
The request comes after the Metropolitan Police Department sent a letter to one applicant notifying him the city would not be issuing him a permit for at least another 90 days despite Scullin’s ruling
Wash, rinse, watch them ignore the law and the “Justice” Dept. and DC police do not a thing.
That’s my Veeshir Vearless Vrediction.
Okay, this is hilarious.
I’ve said I won’t link to Polieico, but this one needs to be seen to be believed.
Bill Sher is unclear on the jobs of journalists.
But what was a play to keep their candidates safe inside a conservative cocoon (debates on Foxnews V) now looks like a trap. The first Republican presidential debate will air on Fox News and will be moderated by Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace—who happen to be the same three anchors that have provoked three Republican candidates into embarrassing gaffes this month.
This fool actually thinks yellow journalism is the real journalism.
He absolutely gives the game away with the word “cocoon”. Which is where all the Dem candidates spend their time, inside the leftist cocoon that lazy, stupid, biased and ignorant “journalists” like those at Polieico provide.
I’ll give you a hint there Bill, journalists are not there to provide affirmation, they’re supposed to provide information.
This is just stupid
Turns out Fox News’ anchors can make Republican candidates look just as bad as MSNBC’s.
First, this yellow journalist watches MSNBC which tells it all.
Second, no. Foxnews doesn’t doctor tape and lie about stuff.
Important Upsdate:
In consideration of equal time laws
I feel like doing a round the tubes post today, deal with it.
First, we have CNN wondering something that I’ve wondered for years, why do UN “Peacekeepers” (actual results may vary) have immunity for their sexual abuse deals?
Personnel have forced women and children to have sex in exchange for food, have trafficked women into U.N. missions and systematically raped them, and have committed other egregious acts of sexual violence. Few of those responsible have ever been brought to justice. (links in original,
I am surprised that CNN allowed this to be posted on their site, they usually suppress things, they’re in the affirmation business not the information business after all.
Speaking of the Ministry of Truth, some Russian journalists, who are forced to do their govt’s bidding (unlike ours), have formed a media in exile.
Russia’s regulator considered the material as a violation of a law against extremism. The journalists got the message that they wouldn’t be able to escape censorship if they stayed in Russia.
“The dismissal of the chief editor and the appointment of the pro-Kremlin official is a violation of the law on media, which discusses the inadmissibility of censorship,” reads an open letter of the Lenta journalist in protest of Timchenko’s dismissal.
Good for them, here we have self-censorship.
Sunnis are wondering why the hell Obama is favoring the Shiites but they’re confused about one thing
Presidential advisors like Valerie Jarret and Robert Malley seem to think that because of its ancient civilization, Iran should sweep the region and end Sunni power. They argue that because the metropolitan Persians are superior to the Bedouin Arabs, and because Iranian Shiite Islam is more moderate than the radical Sunni Islam of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf, America should make of Iran its Middle East partner and force Gulf Arabs to enter into security arrangements on Tehran’s terms
Yeah, but it’s not about all that stuff, it’s about hating America and the various Sunni dictatorships do not hate us enough.
Soopermexican links the Hill so I don’t have to.
A group of Senate Democrats is urging the Obama administration to allow at least 65,000 Syrian refugees to settle inside the United States.
Don’t think of it as importing thousands of jihadis, think of it as a target-rich environment.
That’s how these “refugees” think of America after all.
Have you ever wondered how the six-fingered man got that extra finger? Well, wonder no more.
Moreover, one hadith states that those who have sexual intercourse with their hands will find their hands pregnant…
I am surprised he didn’t wear glasses.
They are combating the problem though.
“It has everything one would want for a wedding,” al-Homsi said of Raqqa — a riverside provincial capital that in the 18 months since IS took control has seen militants beheading opponents and stoning alleged adulteresses in public.
It’s just like Niagara Falls except with blood instead of water.
Speaking of murderously dangerous cities run by religious extremists, et’s seq our ue to America!
You’re 45% more likely to be murdered in De Blasio’s NYC than in Bloomberg’s.
Crime and murder is up in Baltimore too.
Investor’s Business Daily makes a doubleplusungood connection!
Lawlessness: Fueled by this president’s anti-police policies and race-baiting rhetoric, thugs are attacking cops and terrorizing major cities. Horrible violence is breaking out all over. We are witnessing a national crime wave.
Heh. Heh I say.
Not so “heh” worthy?
WAR ON COPS=> THIRD White Police Officer SHOT DEAD This Week (emphasis me V)
Now, I’m totally against the use of police as revenue generators and their use of military tactics against undeserving victims, but that’s very bad. It’s just another of the reasons I’ve been hoping for an asteroid for years, the results of stuff like that is too bad to contemplate as we either have unbelievable crime waves as cops stop policing or even more militarization of the police in response.
On the lighter side of the news
A video showing a car attempting to park but actually plowing into journalists (emphasis me V) might have resulted from the Volvo’s owner not paying an extra fee to have the car avoid pedestrians.
I hope the car wasn’t dented.
In Not At All Funny Cuz It’s True news
Yup.
Again, thanks to socklessjoe for the idea that could be the savior of the American Experiment in Self-Rule!
Drewm writes, persuasively, about the problems with the Iraqi army, but I think one part of what he quotes of Max Boot is actually the real problem.,
I agree on this with Mr. Boot, with the exception of what I crossed out. I might be wrong about that, but it’s not important to my point so I don’t feel like arguing it.
Iraqi soldiers today are badly trained, badly led,
badly supplied, badly motivated.
I disagree that they are ‘badly supplied”, unless he’s talking about not enough ammo, I’m not in any position to know that, especially as I don’t trust Iraqi soldiers to tell the truth about that, but they’ve been abandoning stuff I would give my left nut to get. Who doesn’t want a Bradley with a 25mm Bushmaster or a HmmmmmmvWVVvvv with a Ma Duece?
But my point is that whenever we see vid of Iraqi soldiers “attacking”, they do not look like military at all, they look like every other Arab army in the world.
Some idiot has a belt-fed weapon that he’s firing from the hip and the rest just sort of stick their weapons out, fire a few unaimed shots, duck behind something, fire wildly again then duck back while the idiot with the belt-fed weapon (that I badly want) fires it from the hip looking as if any passing birds or Allah has more to worry about than the enemy.
I always wonder how many of them die from the backblast from the LAWs we’ve given them because the idiots firing them are, well, ill-trained fools who have too little training to be professional about the business. I bet it’s a non-trivial number.
The men are not trained, they’re “trained”. The trainers and trainees go through the motions (cargo cult thinking) but do not understand or even care about the underlying purpose of the training.
Arab armies are not well led as well as not well-trained.
They’re top-down organizations. All the orders come from the top and you need to follow those exactly. Junior officers are not supposed to show any initiative whatsoever. Sergeants are less non-commissioned officers than peons who are supposed to not think.
I would not be too surprised if they actually had some well-trained folks (the ones we train that are then supposed to train the rest), but I would put up a Texas or AZ Boy Scout troop up against them any day. Hell, at age 11 Audie Murphy and Alvin York would have gone through a company of them like a buzz-saw through rotten spit.
What Drewm got absolutely right was that the venal assholes Bush and Co. pushed into leadership positions were not ready for it.
But look at it this way, if we had left Germany shortly after WWII, Russia would have owned all of Europe or the Nazis would have made a come-back.
In today’s exciting episode, Iran is playing the part of Russia and Saudi jihadis are playing the part of Nazis and we’re playing the part of Wilson after WWI.
This is hilarious.
The world’s first vegan mini-mall in Portland, Oregon.
Okay, that’s just sorta funny, but if you actually clicked links and read stories, you would see the bit about the vegan tattoo parlor.
Wilson told the Times that when he opened the shop a decade ago, there weren’t too many people looking for a vegan tattoo parlor. Now, he often finds himself tattooing pieces that showcase a client’s dedication to the lifestyle.
Heh. Heh I say.
High Praise! to Harvey for finding this.
