The thing that gets me is that I just don’t think there will be any repercussions for all the various felonies and treasons committed by our fine betters.
Text-from Peter Strzok to Lisa Page (Andy is Andrew McCabe): “I want to believe the path u threw out 4 consideration in Andy’s office-that there’s no way he gets elected-but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk.It’s like an insurance policy in unlikely event u die be4 you’re 40”
So what horrible thing happened to this perverter of justice? Reassigned.
He might be Forced To Retire with full pension and benefits and severance package That’s what’ll probably happen.
We all watched it happen. Watched all The Important People pretend it wasn’t happening. You know as soon as they can they’re gonna go back to business as usual. Who you gonna vote for? Roy Moore?
Exactly. We’ve had this argument many times, we’ve won some and lost some, but we won the POTUSy without the GOP. They can’t win the POTUSy without us. Primary season is coming up. We got rid of Flake even before it started, I wonder if they’ll lose anymore.
An Organisation of Islamic Co-operation communique declares US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise the city as Israel’s capital as “null and void”.
It also says the move has signalled Washington’s withdrawal from its role in the Middle East peace process.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas earlier said the UN should take over.
That would be funny. How, exactly, would the UN enforce their “Kill The Jews!!!!!” resolution?
They accuse the US of “deliberately undermining” peace efforts and warn that it has given “impetus to extremism and terrorism”.
Translation
But, our correspondent says, some Muslim leaders are more pro-Trump than others; Saudi Arabia and Egypt only sent ministers to this meeting, possibly to keep the US on board…
Bingo bango bongo. There’s currently a fairly violent war going on between Iran and The House of Saud, they’re not going to make nice with each other now. Especially since the Israelis are working with the anti-Iranian side.
With this absolutely awesome line
…So, he adds, there was a semblance of unity at the OIC summit and tough talk, but little sign that Donald Trump was listening.
The best response in decades.
Better response
The White House said Mr Abbas’s comments were of the kind of rhetoric that “has prevented peace for years”.
Perzactly. You could just say that after anything Abbas says and it would fit.
US national security adviser HR McMaster condemned Qatar and Turkey for taking on a “new role” as the main sponsors and sources of funding for extremist Islamist ideology that targets western interests.
Qatar and Turkey are sponsors of terrorism! Whodathunk that? It’s been going on for years, but we watched all of the above shit, including Turkey and Qatar, really get rolling while Comeying!. See, this is why I can’t blog. I’m overComey!!!!ed. I just can’t do it anymore. I did a search to find some links but they’re all in Comey!!!!!!ing posts. I started reading and got pissed off. As they were whitewashing Hillary’s many crimes and trying to make some up for Trump, this shit was going on.
And nothing will happen to them. Nothing is going to happen to all the people we watched commit felonies and possibly treasonous shit, like the Uranium One deal, and nothing will happen to the assholes who watched the world go to shit.
A Harvard student recently made a bold public declaration, admitting that, while at a bar with friends one time, he talked about the attractiveness of the women in his class.
Daniel Hanrahan, a master’s student in Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, wrote in The Harvard Crimson this weekthat “the Harvard community is responsible for sexual assault.” Hanrahan notes that, while the men who sexually assault women are ultimately the ones responsible for their crimes, we should also not ignore “the behavior of people not directly involved in sexual assaults.” It is up to bystanders, Hanrahan writes, to help put an end to sexual assault culture.
Why do I keep seeing the sidekick guy in Demolition Man, the guy who likes the Oscar Meyer weiner song (sorta insensitive to sissy kids and fat kids there chief!)
It’s funny how often really bad movies foretell the future.
I’m sorry to say that the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of robed sissies.
Except they haven’t changed to unisex robes (to stop Sexual Harassment!) yet.
he sent an email to his fellow College Republicans with a number of suggestions, some in jest, on countering arguments about “white privilege.” As a joke, Tokie concluded his email by suggesting to his peers: “Take the liberal tears from the idiot you just destroyed in your debate, dissemble your American made Springfield M1911 .45 caliber handgun and apply the tears in order to clean the mechanism, reassemble and proceed to purchase ANTIFA and ISIS hunting permits and max out on tags[.]” The email was eventually shared to the broader campus community.
So pretty funny and impressive that there’s a college where funny can still be.
On Nov. 8, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Sally Walker and Vice President of Finance and Administration Jerry White informed Tokie that he was charged with violating Albion’s policy against the “[u]se of, or threatened use of, physical force or violence.”
Wait! I don’t like that one! I’m not at all gruntled with that article. Well, maybe a little gruntled. That’s a pretty milquetoast ‘threat’. They might just have to have some response, in some colleges he’d already have been expelled, hung and burned in effigy ( possibly in person) and charged with a felony.
Passed my first National Institute for Metalworking Skills certification test, just written stuff and making sure you know how to read non-digital, measuring instruments. A place where I thought I’d like to work came in for a presentation and I asked about my prospects, I’d already been looking at this place, and he seemed to think I could get a job with my engineering degree. I’m gonna check. I’ll finish this program, I can do both, and CNC is my retirement plan. Having a job-shop could keep me occupied and in ammo.
Detatchable mag, pump-action 870. 3 and 6 round mags.
I’m leary of automatics. I know people who swear by them, but I like a pump, my second gun was a 20 gauge 870 Wingmaster that I sold long ago. I was very broke in California.
You know within a year there will be 25 round mags for it at least too. That’s bad ass. All it needs is a bayonet mount.
Republican congressional leaders perched on the couches in the Oval Office froze in mid-smile on Wednesday afternoon when they realized President Trump was bypassing them to cut a short-term spending and debt ceiling deal with Democrats, and not them.
It’s funny that the Dems are so powerful that from their minority status they can do this deal the GOP is against while the GOP cannot do anything the Dems are against.
Why…. it almost seems as if they’re playing us!?!?!??!?!?!??!!??!?
The Debt Ceiling!!!!!!! Debate!!!!! is utterly stupid and ‘inside politics’. The only time they pretend to care about debt is when they have to raise the ceiling.
During the Obama years they huffed and puffed and blew the ceiling down each and every time. I saw an NRO article the other day where they said something stupid about how the GOP beat Obama over this and now Trump’s screwing the whole thing up. Of course, during the Obama years the GOP spent more than a $trillion more than they took in each and every year and yet somehow they Won!!!!! all while never passing a budget.
Don Surber sez that the Dems worked with Hitler because of the failure of the fascist Anti-fa fascist, I think this is more likely.
The reason is the Democrats need this win. August was horrible for them. They revealed what ugly, hateful, mean, spiteful, and nasty people they are through their Antifa henchmen.
Most Americans think little of the Confederate statues. Risking a civil war to tear them down seems unusually dumb even for Democrats.
Their followers are going fucking insane and the rest of America is noticing that and that the Dems don’t do anything, all they do is stop Congress from doing anything. Ironically, they’re not really stopping anything. The GOP doesn’t want to do what they were elected to do but their failure theater requires that we think the Dems are stopping them. That’s pretty funny.
The Dems needed something the media could claim was a victory for them, but it wasn’t. It was just Trump doing what he’s supposed to do, fuck with the Establishment.
I also disagree with this.
It’s over.
The election is finally over.
Democrats finally have accepted the results.
The funny part is that the GOP has still not accepted them. They’re still pissed off at us for not jubileeing for Jeb!.
As for the Dems, as FrnakJ explained long ago, there are two classes of Dems. The smelly footsoldiers, who are getting more and more violently mostly-peaceful and the Alphas who come up with shit to rile them up.
I’ve come to believe that the leadership does not believe the stuff they spew at all. I used to think they did, but now I’m pretty sure they do not so what matters is what they can get Minitrue to spew and Minitrue is the tail trying to wag the dog. Should be interesting.
Ryan, McConnell Offer Obama-Era Spending Bill With No Border Wall Funding – Updated
Updated with Trump saying he’s fer it. Yeah, he’s still a northeast liberal, you take the bad with the fucking with our betters.
Eh, you’ve probably seen this elsewhere but it does make me laugh.
NBC News has published an article incorrectly claiming that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez — who is on trial for corruption — is a Republican.
And people think I’m paranoid when I call them Minitrue.
The rest of Minitrue were more subtle, they couldn’t find time to cover the corruption trial of a sitting United States Senator.
All three major network newscasts ignored the first day of Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez’s (N.J.) corruption trial during their Wednesday night airings.
What America needs is a “New Party,” that would be dedicated to “returning America to the rule of law under the Constitution,” says Angelo Codevilla, professor emeritus of international relations at Boston University.
We can let the GOP have their Inclusive party without the people who’ve been voting for them and giving them money.
The other day I saw a similar idea over at Ace’s, but he figured there’d be 4 parties.
I figure it’ll be three, the We’re Better And Smarter Than You party filled with the Elitest!!!! of the Elite!!!!!!!!!! who Elite!!!!!!, another party fulll of disaffected GOP and Dem Americans who like the America of the end of the 20th and early 21st centuries and would like to get it back, and the last one with crazed leftists of all stripes. At least, they’ll try to start their Reality Based Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but they’re short on planning skills and seem overheated. These people may want to check out the review guide for some ACs to get their temperature down! Seriously though they do not have any sense of discipline and only know how to do what they’re told to do (see, FrnakJ above) so I’d expect that one to fizzle out pretty quickly and violently.
More than 5,000 out-of-state voters may have tipped New Hampshire against Trump
More than 6,500 people registered to vote in New Hampshire on Nov. 8 using out-of-state driver’s licenses, and since then the vast majority have neither obtained an in-state license nor registered a motor vehicle…
News We All Knew But Minitrue and Never-Trumpers (Hey NY Post!) Would Like To Have Us Ignore!
So how surprising is this Totally New Information!!!!!?
“We’ve known for months that more voters cast ballots without any proof of actually living in New Hampshire than the differentials for either federal contest there in 2016,” he said.
That new and surprising.
Wow. This is both pathetic and scary. So endy and uhhhh…. lamey.
College Activists March on the Cafeteria: What Do We Want? Hydroponic Cilantro! Students across the U.S. are making some very precise demands of school chefs and dining halls, including a churrascaria, a gelateria and a sushi bar
Students returning to the University of Texas at Austin this fall will have twice as much help wrestling with some of the big questions that college presents.
For instance, does water contain gluten? And, is all food genetically modified?
When I went to college in 1981 people were upset when they ran out of PB&J, how times have changed.
I really like Sig, my SigPro 2340 is a sweet piece. I also like Sig because they really make some cool shit, they used to make a rifle barrel that could be made into a silencer with just a sleeve (or some other simple part) that freaked out the ATF and now this.
I don’t own a Glock (I’m prejudiced against them for some reason) or a High Point but I’ve always liked the idea of a ‘pistol into a carbine’ kit, I might have to get one of those now.
There are some awesome shots of Jupiter there, mostly much closer than that.
Look at the band across the upper part with what looks, to me, like evenly spaced hurricanes, you can see them in a bunch of different shots. Weird. It looks like a belt I saw on a guy in a western once.
Comeytose State
by Mark Steyn
Steyn on America
June 10, 2017
Jim Comey points the finger
Readers have demanded to know what I think of the James Comey hearing. In the words of Daffy Duck, shoot me now.
You and me both Mark Steyn, you and me both.
Okay, now I’m done Comeying. I really don’t want to start Muelling.
“Look at what Comey said. Comey said ‘I deliberately leaked through an intermediary to create this counsel. And it happens to be one of his closest friends.
Then look at who Mueller’s starting to hire. These are people who frankly look to me like they are setting up to go after Trump. They’ve … by the way, these are people who’ve been reprimanded for hiding from the defense information in two major cases.
I think this is going to be a witch hunt. I think that Comey, by his own testimony, tainted this particular process.”
As is transparently apparent, his job is to figure out some way to get Trump impeached. You can tell by who is not against this, like Karl, I’m Important!!! Not Like Those Asshole Tea Partiers!!!!, Rove.
All I can say is that our fine political, social, moral and intellectual betters will not like what happens after Trump if they do that.
Local victims of bombings by the terror group FALN watched in disgust Sunday as one of the murderous organization’s former leaders led Manhattan’s Puerto Rican Day Parade — riding out in front as the guest of honor with his fist thrust defiantly in the air.
“It’s repulsive, I’m sick to my stomach,” said retired NYPD Detective Tony Senft, 70, who lost an eye while diffusing one of the group’s bombs at a Manhattan courthouse in 1982.
… I’m Italian, but [late Mafia don] John Gotti doesn’t represent me,”…
That’s what’s made the middle east so wonderful, people liking their own terrorists. All terrorists are bad.
Here are some lies by the Never Trumpers at the NY Post.
The sensitive information, according to Monday’s New York Times report, revealed that top Israeli cyberoperators about six months ago had penetrated a group of ISIS bombmakers in Syria who were working on explosives that would pass airport X-ray machines and other screenings.
I’m about done with the Post. I used to read 4 or 5 papers a day, 3 NY Papers, the Wash Post and I’d skim some others, now I’m down to the NY Post. Soon, I’ll be done with them. I can get lies watching TV news, why read them too?
At about 11 p.m. Friday, a motorist found the off-duty agent “on the side of the road” in Doña Ana County, New Mexico…
The document does specifically identify that a Border Patrol agent was kidnapped and assaulted,” according to Breitbart Texas. “The document also asserts that the FBI in El Paso, Texas, is leading the investigation.”
The agent suffered multiple, serious injuries to his head, chest and hands. Emergency Medical Services transported the agent to a nearby hospital where he is being treated for his wounds.
I want to see scattered body parts. Lots of scattered body parts. And burned compounds.
Too bad our newsmedia can’t be assed to cover this, they’re on the side of whoever is against America. For those wondering, that’s Obama’s legacy. Anti-American hate normalized by our fine betters.
There has been an influx of headline-grabbing legislation during the first two special sessions at the Legislature this year, but none of it has been about taxes or spending.
Instead, some lawmakers have proposed privatizing The Evergreen State College, moving Washington toward a single-payer health care system and banning people from wearing masks and hoods at protests.
None of those bills are likely to pass.
It’s not just the national GOP throwing fish at me, we have Washington St pols throwing stinky fish at their voters.
It’s even worse in Washington state.
In other words, lawmakers and consultants said Hail Mary legislation could have value by sparking broader conversations about an issue of interest or striking a chord with a politician’s base or swing voters.
They’re admitting they’re throwing fish instead of doing anything useful.
A biology and agriculture professor says he’s the first — and so far the only — faculty member at The Evergreen State College to publicly come out in support of Bret Weinstein, the professor whose comments enflamed tensions over racism at the Olympia campus.
Otherwise La Terreur is going to get him. Do the Evergreen fascists have guillotines yet?
The Communist Party’s anti-graft watchdog, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said in a statement on Monday that Inner Mongolia and Jilin had cooked some of their figures. But the CCDI did not elaborate on the scope or time span of the falsification.
I can help with that last part, it’s been every figure they’ve ever produced and the scope is vast. That’s what commies do.
Inner Mongolia, a major source of coal, reported a 7.2 per cent rise in its gross domestic product last year, while Jilin grew 6.9 per cent. Both beat the national average of 6.7 per cent last year.
Wait, you mean commies lie about economic shit? No! Why, next you’ll tell me the whole, expanding at nearly 7% is a bunch of lies!?!?!?!?!
If you sadly live in New Jersey, New York, Maryland or Massachusetts and actually like firearms, your list of legal AR-15s can probably fit on the bar napkin you drink your sorrows away on. OK, that is slightly over the top, but legal ones are few and far between. Ruger is adding to that list with a new AR-556 with a MonsterMan grip.
Some notable features, or modifications depending on how you look at it, that make it legal in the aforementioned states are:
Threaded Barrel (1/2″ x 28 TPI) w/ Thread Protector [No Flash Hider or Muzzle Device] Fixed A2 Stock [No Scary Collapsible Stock] 10-Round Magazine [None of that High-Cap Nonsense] MonsterMan Grip [It Ain’t a Pistol Grip If Your Hand Can’t Go All the Way Around]
You know that pisses off the assholes who passed the stupid laws and it gets guns to those whose pols are trying to disarm them.
I’m fer it just for the pissing off gun-grabbing assholes.
The worst part is that nobody will notice that they’re only a few, cosmetic, changes to make it legal. In other words, the law is all about stupidity and uselessness. You know, typical anti-gun bullshit.
This hasn’t fit anywhere, so I’m putting this here.
When I worked for the Feds, each year they had a deal where you could designate charities of your choice to have money taken from your check, before taxes.
I’d always look at the booklet for some that involved kids of military or police or injured cops or military and I’d look at the percentage that went to charity and what went to administration. I’d only give money to charities with less than 10% administration costs, preferably <5%. That’s why I try to always put my change into the Ronald McDonald House box at the McD’s drive in. Kago doesn’t mind, he doesn’t like kids but he does like McD’s cheeseburgers.
The United Way was ridiculous, with some offices paying 90% or more to administrators, the Red Cross wasn’t far behind.
I really don’t like people who do well by doing good. I refuse to pay for your self-esteem/feeling superior boost.
Reporter Jim Acosta made note of the fact that his network was relegated to the “Siberia” section of the Rose Garden during President Trump’s press conference with Romanian president Klaus Iohannis Friday, quickly adding, “no pun intended.”
“The question has be to be raised whether or not this White House was retaliating against CNN,” Acosta later told Wolf Blitzer during an on-air crosstalk.
Has Trump not been clear? Yes it’s retaliation for all your lies and fakenews bullshit.
An(sic) in January, he refused to take a question from Acosta during his press conference, berating CNN for being “fake news.”
I can imagine the “Don’t You Know Who I Am!? Yes, that’s why you’re being treated as the lying fakenewsers you are.” conversation.
Republicans are trying to figure out a way past swirling questions about ties between the Trump administration and the Russian government, with GOP strategists calling the investigation and surrounding controversies a public relations nightmare that has dragged on for too long.
Former FBI Director James Comey did not inflict any deadly blows against President Trump when he testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, Republicans believe, but they’re concerned there will be more damaging revelations in the weeks ahead.
So…we saw Comey pretty much exonerate Trump, admit to a crime and accuse the former head of the Dept. of “Justice” with obstruction of justice and the GOP IS IN TROUBLE!
I actually agree, they were counting on Comey getting Trump. Now that’s fizzled they’re going to have to figure out some other way to impeach him.
Speaking of impeachment, I agree that the Diet of Worms…. Paris climate accord was part of an impeachable offense, I just don’t think it was Trump who committed the offense.
A liberal law professor wrote a lengthy op-ed claiming President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accord is a “crime against humanity” that is an “impeachable offense.”
Obama committing America to a foreign treaty without submitting it to the Senate was an impeachable offense.
Too bad the GOP wasn’t interested in actually opposing him.
So the revelation that Lynch obstructed justice (which we already knew) is unimportant but Sessions, on the other hand, is Guilty Of Felony Obstruction Of Even More Justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…Attorney General Jeff Sessions was going to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee. It would be a change of plans since Sessions was scheduled for a public hearing in front of the Senate Budget Committee, where he was expected to be pelted with Russia questions. It’s the Intelligence Committee that is handling the Senate’s Russia investigation, but according to CNN’s John King on Inside Politics, a private hearing could be an “obstruction of justice.”
Obstruction of justice because he’s going to testify about an intelligence matter before the intelligence committee instead of before the budget committee.
Minitrue is going fucking insane and they’re taking the rest of the Democratic party with them.
They’re hilarious. It’s a little infuriating watching people pretend they’re not insane, hate-filled, spittle-flecked partisans, but that’s getting harder and harder to do.
Not much else domestically is happening apparently, our own little anti-fa thuggles did get their violence on over a display of free speech.
In Texas, they tried to get everybody riled up to take down anything honoring Sam Houston.
Controversial onetime convicted terror leader Oscar Lopez Rivera may have declined the Puerto Rican Day Parade’s “National Freedom Award,” but he was still at the head of the event Sunday — with the City Council speaker right by his side.
Lopez Rivera — who did 35 years behind bars for his ties to the Puerto Rican terror group FALN…
Bravo NY! That’s the way to stand up to terrorists!
Notice the last bit I cut n pasted.
This terrorist was released because Obama pardoned him. Why leave that out? I know NYC has lots of Puerto Ricans but, as we see in the middle east, all terrorists are bad, not just other people’s.
Also notice the lie, he was not put behind bars “for his ties to..FALN”, he was put behind bars for
found Mr. Lopez-Rivera guilty on five counts involving seditious conspiracy, armed robbery, weapons violations and interstate transportation of stolen property. He faces a maximum penalty of 70 years in prison…
In 1981, López Rivera was sentenced to 55 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and other felonies.(shhhhh V) He was later sentenced to an additional 15 years in 1988 for conspiracy to escape; to transport explosives with intent to kill and injure people; and to destroy government buildings and property.(conspiracy to blow shit up V)
His ‘ties to FALN” were as a bomb-making trainer. They blew up more than 100 bombs in America.
The NY Post is weird, they’re often sympathetic to the right, but they’re ridiculous never-Trumpers and this shit is just fucked up. Why lie for a terrorist?
On a crowded street in a tourist area, Turin, Italy, someone suddenly screams "Allahu Akbar", people start to panic and flee. pic.twitter.com/wSDwICQe4Z
Now I know how to get to the head of any line, just have a friend yell “Allahu Akbar!” and the way will clear itself. That’s better than having my chauffeur hold a sign saying, “Bruce Springsteen.” Mostly cuz I have friends..well, I know some people who would think it was hilarious to do that and I don’t have a chauffeur.
The Arabian peninsula is heating up and it’s very confusing. Whenever they talk about the Muslim Brotherhood, they mean Iran.
Qatar crisis has emerged because competition for regional leadership arose between this country and Saudi Arabia…
Qatar has long abandoned its policy of agreeing its foreign and internal interests with those of Saudi Arabia and acts as an independent player.
Besides, there had been complaints about Qatar’s position on the part of other Arab states, primarily Egypt, which has long branded Qatar as a source of instability for the nation. In addition, Qatar is being criticized for its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and other organizations considered as a serious threat. Therefore, countries that are somehow tied to Saudi Arabia have quickly responded to Riyadh’s move to sever diplomatic relations with Doha.
That’s an interesting deal. Iran’s winning Syria and bringing chaos to the Arabian peninsula but ISIS just blowed up Iran. They’ve made their rug, they can pray on it.
There is an obligatory shot at Trump, but I’d say that, interestingly enough, some people in the world besides Republican-Americans have free will. I know, it seems as if everybody responds to what I say and do, but some people out there don’t even know I exist or care what I think or say!?!?!?!?!?!
Besides the GOP I mean.
Pakistan seems to have decided to get involved in the Iran/Saudi war.
Pakistan’s former army chief, Raheel Sharif, is set to become the first commander of a new Saudi-led counterterrorism coalition of mostly Sunni Islamic states, a move frustrating neighboring Shi’ite Iran in addition to prevailing domestic opposition and criticism…
I figure they’ll get busy in Yemen, which is sorta funny.
Yemen used to just have a shitload of Saudi-type terrorists who’ve hated each other since long before one group worked for the Romans and the other worked for Persians, now the Persians are getting involved again and it’s going to be interesting. I wonder if the Mad Mullahs are using the same tribes the Sassanids did against the Roman auxiliaries.
There is one large bit of endy with the sorta funny.
Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, Mehdi Hunar Dost, said this week his government has repeatedly conveyed its concerns to Pakistani leaders over their decision to participate in the Saudi-led military coalition. He cautioned the move could hurt bilateral relations, which are already shaky over allegations anti-Iran Sunni militants use Pakistani soil for attacks on the Iranian side.
Iran and Pakistan share a nearly 1,000-kilometer border.
Will they cut out the middle (man) east and just nuke each other?
I wonder if we could get Afghanistan involved in that. Kill three jihadibirds with one stone.
They tried to hide it for a couple years, but last month it became official.
Sharif, 60, retired as Pakistan’s chief of army staff last fall. COAS is the most powerful post there is in Pakistan and the de facto finger on the nuclear trigger. The highlight of his tenure in office was a major crackdown on the Pakistani Taliban, which has plagued the country with horrific terror attacks. The Pakistan army continues to support other terrorist organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Haqqani network, but it is at war with the Pakistani Taliban and now with the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) that has created an infrastructure in the country.
They found some ‘bad’ terrorists.
The Saudi-led Islamic military alliance now has 41 members. Some Saudi commentators have argued that Pakistan was best prepared to provide a commander for the group because it is the only Muslim country with nuclear weapons. In fact, Pakistan has the fastest growing nuclear arsenal in the world. A military leader who has commanded a nuclear strike force does have credentials unlike any other Muslim general. There is an obvious implication—left unstated of course—about where the alliance could go if it needs a bomb.
Yeah, it’s only unstated because our fine leftist betters would like to wish it away.
This is what we’re looking at when Iran gets close to finishing their bomb. Well, that or when the ones they have on back-order with the Russians are delivered.
Saudi defence minister Mohammad bin Salman visited Pakistan on Sunday, when the chief of Pakistan’s army issued a statement backing the kingdom, the Asia Times reported.
General Raheel Sharif said “tany threat to Saudi Arabia’s territorial integrity would evoke a strong response from Pakistan.”
Pakistan wants to be a player in the Islamic world, should be interesting to see if they succeed in that or just succeed in getting sucked into a nukular war with Iran.
‘I want to see my mum’: British Muslim convert ‘ISIS fighter’ Jihadi Jack begs to be released from Syrian jail so he can ‘explain some things’ to his parents
A former Oxford schoolboy who converted to Islam and traveled to Syria is begging to be released so he can ‘explain some things’ to his mum.
Jack Letts is being held by the Kurdish militia in Syria after traveling to the country – and admits he has ‘no idea’ what will happen to him next…
Jack Letts converted to Islam as a teenager when he he attended the Cherwell School in Oxford…
With this that could be John Walker Lindh
Speaking to MailOnline, one friend – who asked to remain anonymous – said: ‘He was always an atheist, pretty liberal, typical middle class kid. At school he was the class clown but didn’t take it too far, he was still smart and got fair grades.’
People want to believe in something, that’s why we have the Great Global Worming religion and lefties becoming jihadis.
Too bad we don’t have a belief system that preaches love and tolerance and respect for each other. Oh well.
An aside, while it cracked me up, that post sorta pisses me off too.
Last night I was reading something and the narrator said, “It went horribly wrong” and I thought, No, it went horribly right! I was planning on using that line today. I even had a link picked out for it. Now I can’t. Bastids.
Several inches of snow are possible in parts of the Cascades and northern Rockies starting this weekend. Snow levels could fall to as low as 5,000 feet by Sunday. Campers in this region should prepare for cold temperatures. Snow is in the forecast starting this second weekend of June in the higher elevations of the mountain West, as an unseasonably cold air mass infiltrates the northwestern United States. The cold air will build in beneath a strong southward dip in the jet stream, or upper-level trough, that will develop this weekend as a result of a weather pattern flip.
Surprise!
I checked some others and they’re predicting snow but I can’t find out if it did snow so it probably didn’t. This weekend.
Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this story misstated how long it had been since the June snowpack was this large. The amount of snow on the ground in the central Sierra region this week marked the biggest June snowpack in years.
I guess they tried to lie their way through it the first time. They always pretend any hot weather is UNPRECEDENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! while snow in June is a big ‘Yawn”. At least they put the correction at the top of the page instead of the bottom. I wonder if it’s in print and if they’ll correct that in the next issue. That’s what a real newspaper would do, but we don’t have any of those anymore.
Snow from the barrage of storms that pounded the western mountains over the winter is still on the ground. Many mountains in the Rockies, Sierra and Cascades are packed with at least 8 feet of snow, the National Weather Service said, creating a dream summer for skiers and snowboarders.
It’s funny how that’s mostly ignored and yet, we’re supposed to have heat wave elsewhere so we’ll see all the global warmmongering about a heat wave in June but snow in June is ignored.
Notice there’s 8 feet, I wonder, is that the beginning of a new glacier?
If glaciers start covering California and they start blaming it on global warming, we really need to try to get the ‘narrative’ being that we need to congratulate CA for beating that whole Climate Change thing.
Fucking moronpundit, he said he was going to be back but he isn’t. He talked a big game about facecocks, but I haven’t seen shit. In the interests of luring him back, a nother pic of Hillary suitable for facecocking!
As we boggle at dueling realities, listen to the Soothing Sounds of Social Justice
Via Zilla, who posts less than I do and probably has more readers and surely more commenters. I’d take it personally but I have a low opinion of people.
I had a bunch of these from yesterday but everybody’s posted some of them. Like the Evergreen deal that is lefties freaking out over people noticing their previous freaking out.
Man, this NYT piece has enough juicy morsels to satisfy the most Trump-loving nationalist or the most Trump-hating Democrat. Their nexus: Contempt for Prince Jared, who’s suddenly out of favor within the inner circle. And not just because of his Russia follies.
He can’t be fired, of course, as he’s part of the family. The only solution is to exile him and have Ivanka unite the continent by marrying Justin Trudeau.
If it is in fact true that Jared Kurchner (tried to set up a back channel)… wouldn’t that signify that there is no collusion? Why would you need a back-channel if you already have collusion?
She’s one of the last real journalists in this world. I’m still pissed off for her that she has to say, “Megan McCain, what do you think?” at least once a day. That’s just cruel.
But Republicans in the age of Trump have sadly moved away from morality as a viable concept.
Yes, Gianforte’s assault is a glaring display of toxic masculinity in an environment made particularly toxic by the man in the White House and his media bullying
Wait, no you don’t. You should point, laugh and shun them.
We’ve been taking shit from you and your favored groups for 10 years now Mr Blow, you might want to ask yourself why much of America shrugged and some even chuckled when they heard a GOP candidate body-slammed a ‘journalist’. You really should ask yourself that question. And then maybe tone down all the cheerleading for anti-fa thuggles.
That’s funny. “Your bitch is making you their bitch but it’s not your fault you’re all weak and shit.”
When I first saw this I thought Putin would be saying, “Hey! That’s my schtick!”
Mystery as two North Koreans are found dead in the same Moscow hotel after BOTH suffering ‘acute heart failure’ as two more are rushed to hospital
But then I started to wonder if Putin did it. I doubt we’ll ever know who did it.
There’s a lot of shit going on between Russia, China and the Norks that we have now idea of. It’s hard for them to work together since Russia and China have never been friendly and the Chinese can use Nork craziness for their plausible deniability against Putin just as well as us.
A little history, ISIS branched off from al Quaeda and became a country. They are a strong horse even as we’re beating their asses.
So what happens is that ISIS starts doing what al Quaeda used to do, what ISIS is doing better (worse) than al Quaeda ever did. They’re getting crazy people all over the world to blow up their part of the world and any nearby infidels or insufficiently similar Muslims.
This should go without saying, but it’s all Trump’s fault because of his hateful rhetoric.
The U.S. government is expanding a cybersecurity program that scans Internet traffic headed into and out of defense contractors to include far more of the country’s private, civilian-run infrastructure.
As a result, more private sector employees than ever before, including those at big banks, utilities and key transportation companies, will have their emails and Web surfing scanned as a precaution against cyber attacks.
Had the Senate Intelligence Committee been permitted to use pseudonyms for the central characters in its report, as all previous congressional studies of intelligence failures, including the widely heralded Church Committee report in 1975, have done, it might not have taken a painstaking, and still somewhat cryptic, investigation after the fact in order for the American public to hold this senior official accountable. Many people who have worked with her over the years expressed shock to NBC that she has been entrusted with so much power. A former intelligence officer who worked directly with her is quoted by NBC, on background, as saying that she bears so much responsibility for so many intelligence failures that “she should be put on trial and put in jail for what she has done.”
Instead, however, she has been promoted to the rank of a general in the military, most recently working as the head of the C.I.A.’s global-jihad unit.
A federal judge on Monday ruled that the government’s collection of data on all U.S. phone calls is likely unconstitutional, comparing the National Security Agency (NSA) program to George Orwell’s 1984.
Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., granted a request from conservative activist Larry Klayman to block the NSA’s phone data collection
Oh wait, that’s from December, 2013 and since it was a judge telling Obama what to do, it meant absolutely nothing.
Isn’t there any Bombshell Breaking News!!!!!!!!!! that’s not old, lies and/or from anonymous sources?
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liberals Are Shocked That We’re Starting To Hate Them Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We conservatives have been warning for a long time that liberals are not going to like it when everyone plays by the new rules, and – surprise! – they don’t. But guess what? Most of us don’t like the new rules either. Yet it’s ridiculous to expect human beings to remain in perpetual denial about the situation they face, and to forever live under a double standard that results in their faces getting pressed into the dirt.
The hypocrisy has become intolerable, and we have stopped tolerating it. This is just the beginning of the reaction, and – make no mistake – this entire situation is a bad thing. Our society is making choices that can lead only to ruin (and my new novel describing the consequences just dropped).
But we’re the Washington Generals in the long-running movie, Their Reality.
We’re supposed to oppose them and then run away when they bang their sippy cups extra hard. It’s as if we haven’t read the script!
We’ve warned them and warned them but they didn’t pay attention. They were too busy trying to hide violence from lefties while trying to blame their violence on The Right! Like the violence at Trump Rallies.
In I NY news, Safe Act Too!! This Time It’s Even Saferer!!
The prohibition would apply to pistols or revolvers manufactured twelve or more months after the effective date of the bill. Design features could include the capacity to adjust the trigger resistance of the gun to at least a ten pound pull, the capacity to alter the firing mechanism so- that an average five year old child’s hand would be too small to operate the gun, or the capacity to require a series of multiple motions in order to fire the gun.
Why 10 lbs? Because it’s Science!!!!!!!!!!! How big is an “average five year old child’s hand”? Oh, we’ll let the lawyers figure that one out! And if you’re a gun maker with deep pockets, I’m gonna guess your dimensions for an average five year old child’s hand will vary somewhat from a cash-strapped NY jurisdiction’s dimensions.
What does “series of multiple motions” mean? Again, we’ll let lawyers siphon money off of gun makers….figure that out!
Now, it’s never smart to assume any brains by any NY pol, beyond the cunning required to convince a little old lady that she needs to fix her gutters and if she gives you $5k today, you’ll take care of it tomorrow, but is this a way to make it so nobody can sell guns in NY?
California and Mass guns are tough enough, having to figure out what they mean and then make them for one, niche market, well, that’s just stupid.
And of course the police will be exempt. Because in Dem fiefs their serfs deserve fewer rights.
Filmmaker Sofia Coppola has become the first women since 1961 to win Cannes Film Festival’s Directing Prize.
You would have thought Coppola’s award- for her female-centric remake of 1971 civil war drama The Beguiled which starred Clint Eastwood- would generate widespread applause on social media given the fact she is an outspoken feminist and all the attention paid to the perceived under-representation of women directors at Cannes in recent years.
You might think that, but today’s left isn’t really known for making any sort of sense. Even by their own rules.
The plot of the movie-a wounded Union soldier who takes refuge an all-female Southern boarding school during the Civil War- doesn’t immediately evoke an aura of white privilege.
I hate to break it to you HeatStreet dude, but the Civil War is the definition of White Privilege. Even the Union Soldiers. Even the Union Soldiers who signed up exclusively to fight slavery. Geez, it’s as if he doesn’t read the NY Times or watch CNN.
Sofia Coppola’s new movie feels like she was just like “how can I possibly fit the largest number of skinny blond white women in this?”
Most importantly, it wasn’t R rated, so it’s probably not worth watching. They’re fully clothed, skinny blond white women. Not a boob or tasteful lezbo scene anywhere.
Can’t we judge people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin?
I know, that’s all racist and shit. But I’m kind of a recidivist.
I do look forward to the porn version of it. I wonder what they’ll call it, the Defiled maybe?
imadenier wished for a kaganer gnome, not realizing that, since gnomes have jumped the sharks, there is a gnome for every occasion.
Yesterday we made fun of the Wash Post about their SCOOP!!!!! that Trump outed Valerie Plam…ummm…what the hell did he do? Oh yeah, something about Russia.
So today Trump said that he talked to the Russians about intelligence. Which is exactly what the fuck he said yesterday.
And now we see Concerned Conservatives like Capt. Boring/Ed Morrissey at Hot Air say,
I guess everyone can put the #fakenews hashtag away for a while, eh? Yesterday, the White House had nat-sec advisor H.R. McMaster issue a broad but unspecific denial after the Washington Post reported that Donald Trump had blurted out highly classified intel to the visiting Russian delegation last week. Rex Tillerson followed suit and the White House communications team issued a terse denial before heading behind closed doors for a meeting.
This morning, as what seems to be a developing pattern, Trump took to Twitter and made hash of the hashtag from his supporters, as well as of White House communications strategy:
Yeah, no. Trump takes to twitter to say (read the comments on his tweets, there are some angry people out there)
As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism.
Yesterday the Wash Post said Trump had jeopardized intelligence gathering, McMaster said, “ummmm, no.”, today nothing we’ve seen contradicts that, but everybody is tut-tutting Trump for…uhhhh….. being hated by Minitrue as nearly as I can tell.
That Rooski word for destroying a country by intentionally creating doubt in the people that there is actually any way whatsoever for them to learn the facts of what is going on.
Not sure of the Russian word, I’d go with Minitrue in English. Here’s the kicker, the part that all Concerned Conservatives are upset about.
Specifically, [Trump] is said to have described the details of an Islamic State threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft. The information itself was reportedly provided by a close Middle Eastern ally.
To which Claire responds
wait…. I heard about that on the nooz…
*I* heard about that on the nooz…
Sorry for the language, they don’t curse much at Sondrakistan, that’s another difference from Alextopia.
Liberals Are An Inferno Of Flaming Crazy And We Should Pour Gasoline On The Fire
Don’t get me wrong, that’s a good article and I suggest you read it, but where was he last year? That was one of the biggest reasons for voting for Trump, now we’re just roasting marshmallows and popcorn over the fire.
“We have to end the flood of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political system, and drowning out the voices of too many everyday Americans,” Mrs. Clinton said in a statement. “Our democracy should be about expanding the franchise, not charging an entrance fee. It starts with overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, and continues with structural reform to our campaign finance system so there’s real sunshine and increased participation.”…
She would end secret, unaccountable money in politics…(emphasis me)
Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton officially launched a new organization on Monday, “Onward Together,” with the stated goal of “advancing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election.” Put more bluntly, the group’s mission is to advance Clinton’s agenda, which was unable to defeat Donald Trump.
But buried on the donation page is this nugget:
First, you know it has to kill her that bribes paid to her are no longer tax-deductable.
Second, that is one awkward, Engrishy, second sentence. As nearly as I can tell that sentence should read, “Only US citizens or lawfully…can contribute”.
Third, do you get shirts when you become a member? Are they black or brown? Any armbands?
Clintons lie. It’s what they do. They also grift. It’s the other thing they do. Hillary also fascists, it’s what she does.
Hillary Clinton garnered more than 800,000 votes from noncitizens on Nov. 8, an approximation far short of President Trump’s estimate of up to 5 million illegal voters but supportive of his charges of fraud.
Just remember, if it’s not fakenews it’s not at the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc.!
Speaking of fascists, the IRS fascists who decided people they disagree with politically deserve no rights,
Current and former IRS officials are asking not to publicly testify about the agency’s alleged bias against Tea Party and other conservative organizations, claiming they are in danger if they do so.
Former official Lois Lerner and Holly Paz both argued in recent filings under seal in the U.S. District Court in Cincinnati that the death threats and other harassment…
I can understand that and even agree. If they tell the truth, well.…
There is tangible evidence on the laptop of a former DNC staffer that confirms he was talking to WikiLeaks prior to his murder, a private investigator suggested Monday
Dead minions tell no tales.
The Far Right Preaches Traditional Values!!!!! Can they accept a lesbian?
Weidel’s rise is the latest expression of a growing, if seemingly ironic, trend. In their policies, nationalist movements in the West often oppose full gay rights, including same-sex marriage. (any examples Wash Post? No? Because Everybody Knows That!!!!!!!!!!!! V)
Meanwhile, in Akbar Britain, the Far Right is pushing traditional values but there is pushback by their betters!
The leaders of radical right-wing party Britain First have been arrested following a “campaign” related to an ongoing rape trial at a court in Kent.
So what sort of campaign?
Kent Police said the arrests related to “leaflets and videos posted online” that were linked to an ongoing trial at Canterbury Crown Court. The court case involves the alleged gang rape of a 16-year-old girl.,,
“We were driving to a meeting through Kent and the traffic in front of us stopped,” Fransen told IBTimes UK. “A marked police van had stopped diagonally in front of the cars.
“Then other police cars flew up behind and alongside us and officers leaped out …. they pulled us both out [of the car].”
She added: “It was like watching a Swat team. They were obviously waiting for us on this route.”
As we saw the other day, they’re trying to stop it. Their betters are saying it’s culturally inappropriate to oppose that.
Some days I really hate people. I call those days, “Today”.
I realize I shouldn’t have linked them because Jihadwatch is all about Teh Hateism, so let’s palate-wash with this acceptable free speech!
Last Thursday, I (Robert Spencer) gave a lecture on the jihad threat at the Grand Hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland. Shortly thereafter, a young Icelandic Leftist registered his disapproval of what I said by poisoning me.
Can’t we all just get along?
I do have to give a mea wronga. I’ve said that commies cannot innovate, I wuz wrong,
Nevertheless, the Castro dictatorship is not a failure at everything it does. There is one thing they are particularly good at: repression. It is a skill they have been honing now for more than a half century. While innovation and ingenuity are foreign terms to the Cuban dictatorship when it comes to the economy and civil society, they are constantly innovating and coming up with ingenious new methods of repression.
Cuba is second only to China, the Norks and Berkeley in shutting down free speech!
I’ve come to the conclusion that doves are the dickheads of the desert/avian world.
They attack other birds, they constantly coo at me, they attack each other and the kicker, they eat from a dickhead’s bowl
Kago doesn’t eat his dry food plain anymore, I cook crappy, sleeve, 73% hamburger and put it and the grease over his dry food.
Those doves are eating hamburger-grease-infused dog food.
Are they becoming carnivorous?
Luckily, I have a gun for that!
.22/.410 with birdshot.
I have a few 000buckshot shells for it too, they’re for coyote.
President Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey Tuesday, ousting the nation’s top law enforcement official in the midst of an investigation by the agency into whether Trump’s campaign had ties to Russia’s election meddling [emphasis mine – Paco].
At least 4 months late.
Now back to our post in its entirety!
Nick Kristof, who if he didn’t exist I’m not sure even FrnakJ could invent, mansplains abortion to backward Xtian women
If that seems incongruous, let’s remember that conservative Christianity’s ferocious opposition to abortion is relatively new in historical terms.
The Bible does not explicitly discuss abortion, and there’s no evidence that Christians traditionally believed that life begins at conception. St. Thomas Aquinas, the father of much of Catholic theology, believed that abortion was murder only after God imbued fetuses with a soul, at 40 days or more after conception.
So…. historically recent? In about 30 seconds of searching, we find this scholarly dude writing about how there was significant discussion in early Christianity about its sinfullness.
Huh. Why it’s as if Nick Kristof is an idiot?!?! Possibly. But he’s more of a fakenewser who spreads disinformation and misinformation to provide affirmation to NY Times readers because they’re good enough, they’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like them!
The deranged drifter charged with gunning down a shelter worker after she fought off his rape attempt refused to show up to court Monday for the first day of his murder trial.
West Spruill has been a no-show to Bronx Supreme Court before –
Dr. Herbert Lin, one of the nation’s pre-eminent thinkers on cybersecurity policy, shuns the internet-connected devices that fill some American homes.
He’ll have nothing to do with “smart” refrigerators, hands-free home speakers he can call by name, intelligent thermostats and the like.
“People say to me, ‘How can you have a doctorate in physics from MIT and not trust in technology?’ And I look at them and say, ‘How can I have a doctorate in physics from MIT and trust technology?’ ” Lin said.
The more you know the more paranoid you are.
Also, I wonder how many viruses (virii?) I picked up at that site.
In Fourth Circuit Hearing on Obama’s Travel Restrictions, ACLU Lawyer Admits, Sure, This Executive Order Might Be Legal if Hillary Clinton Signed It
Well, this was all pretty much implied from the lower courts’ reasoning — which always centered not on the law itself, but on statements Trump made (or was alleged by Rudy Giulliani to have made).
Minus those statements, then the EO passes muster. It’s facially constitutional. But they’re saying a bad man wants to pass it, which makes it unconstitutional by prior statements.
Chief Justice John Roberts first says the mandate in the law requiring individuals to buy health insurance is not a tax.
Then he says it is a tax.
He upholds the individual mandate—as a tax, not a penalty—as the law of the land. But then says it would not be “unlawful” for Americans to violate the law’s mandate that they “shall” buy health insurance–as long as they are willing to pay the “penalty” for not obeying the law.
So what you’re saying is that if you pass a law saying it’s not a tax it is a tax, except when it’s not, and Trump’s a doody-head?
I really need to read the commerce clause more closely cuz I just don’t see that. Or is it the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness clause?
A judge on Tuesday erased a 2013 murder conviction against former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, ruling that case law in Massachusetts has long established that defendants who die before their appeals are heard should have their convictions vacated. (emphasis me, V)
Ungulate gnawing on bone has been reported in the taphonomic and zooarchaeological literature, but there are no known reports of ungulates altering human remains. Herein, we report on the first known photographic evidence of deer gnawing human remains. (emphasis none of your business, V)
Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates will testify in front of a Senate subcommittee Monday about what and when she told the Trump White House in regard to Michael Flynn’s ties to Russia.
Why?
Why isn’t Lerner testifying about what the Obama White House told her in regards to her ties to fascism?
Why aren’t they going after actual lawlessness instead of trying to keep this non-story in the new…..
Oh right. The We’re Better And Smarter Than You Party hates Trump almost as much as they hate me.
And I thought, “Finally! McCain or Graham are going to get what they deserve!”
But the tool they were talking about was neither McCain nor Graham!?!?!?! It wasn’t even McConnell!
seeking to strike down the Congressional Review Act
Wrong tool! There are some right over there (points at Congress) that would make America Great Again if we got rid of them.
If you need some more links about Obama’s wiretapping of Trump, click here.
Not sure why you’d bother trying to convince anybody of reality if they don’t remember watching it happen (Here are leaked transcripts of wiretaps of Trump’s peeps!!!… No! Obama did not wiretap Trump’s peeps!), then showing them more proof surely won’t do any good. YMMV.
Mayor de Blasio is so intent on going to the mat defending Correction Commissioner Joseph Ponte’s blatant abuse of a city vehicle and frequent absences from work that he’s now trashing his own investigators for blowing the whistle…
As if professional investigators don’t know how to, you know, investigate.
As for the DOI probe that uncovered the abuse by Ponte and his subordinates: That’s just “their views,” said de Blasio.
How dare you go after one of his peeps? Have you no sense of exactly how corrupt NY is supposed to be? I mean, it’s not as if it’s a Republican trying to stop Democratic priorities!
Who teaches students that words are violence? While the plural of anecdote is not data, I’ve seen variations on this in most schools in the greater Phoenix area
It’s a hate-crime to say the bit about words never hurting you unless you let them.
And then he talks about our fine media betters refusing to say the word, “socialism” or “murderous dictator” when discussing Venezuela.
The growing economic crisis (was) fueled by low prices for oil, the country’s main export; a drought that has crippled Venezuela’s ability to generate hydroelectric power; and a long decline in manufacturing and agricultural production.” – IBD
Another drink is about all you can do for those poor bastards.
FIFA is working on kicking Israel out! I could click to find out why, but seriously, why bother? I’m sure it has something to do with Palestinians and apartheid and premeditated jewishness. I was going to list members, but once I got past “Palestine” and Syria on my way to Afghanistan, Iran and….I got tired.
Why bother? Just because FIFA is perfectly okay with murderous dictatorships, places with actual, “bill-of-sale” slavery and that treat women like property, I got depressed.
And much of our country and most of the world have no idea why I have a problem with this. Except that I’m a racist hater.
I did my taxes late this year and I was broke in April so I didn’t do BAG day and didn’t even mention it. I’m a little embarrassed about that.
But you know what doesn’t suck?

It’s all about useless but also all about teh fun.
First I’d like to ask a question, are Colts really three times better than S&W? I’ve never fired a Colt revolver but I really like S&W. I just don’t see how a used, stainless .44mag is $700 when it’s S&W but $1,500-$2500 when it’s Colt.
S&W is about $100+/- more than Ruger and I think that’s about right.
Is it just because they don’t make them anymore? Because I’ll tell you, unless the Colt comes with a happier ending than a S&W, I just can’t see it being worth that much more.
I wishfully hoped that they wouldn’t use all the terrorist-catching laws that were ONLY GOING TO BE USED TO CATCH TERRORISTS!!!!!!! on people who aren’t terrorists.
Law enforcement wants to charge a Perry County man with committing terrorist activity after he stole 911 communications equipment.
Frank Thomas Aldridge is in custody after breaking into a 911 communications building back on Dec. 9, 2016.
Aldridge found out he couldn’t resell the equipment he stole, so he threw it in a nearby creek.
I know, when I wishfully think I make an ass out of me and me. Especially when I wishfully think that gov’t folks won’t get all mission creepy.
Leading French Presidential Candidate Emmanuel Macron has invited the entire US climate science community to relocate to France.
Thank you French socialist dude, I sincerely hope they take you up on your offer.
Romanians are wishing for a non-corrupt gov’t and thinking that they’re gonna have to stay serious to get it. They’ve been protesting for about 2 weeks over
The decree, decriminalised the abuse of office in cases where the damages were less than 200,000 leu (about 43,200 euros) and was coupled with a mass pardon for non-violent convicts serving short jail terms.
What that means is that if a politician takes a bribe for less than about $50k, no harm no foul. And pols in jail would be let out.
Obviously, their gov’t is pretty similar to ours.
Despite the outrage over the proposed changes to the criminal code. the government is refusing to quit. It insists the public has misunderstood its reform bid
Yeah, we get that shit here too.
I wish them luck. Romanian pols might want to review history, Europeans do not get a Trump, they get a Hitler or a Ceausescu and light poles start to get decorated.
A French street artist was severely beaten up in Paris after refusing to remove a work of art calling for coexistence between Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
When I mention the stupidity of those COEXIST signs, I’m called a hater, if you click you will see that the French media tried to obfuscate the issue, but it’s unobfuscatable. He should have stuck with the traditional form.
Political action committees that fundraised for President Barrack Obama during the 2012 presidential election, bused protesters to Republican town hall events nationwide earlier in February, according to a Sunday report from The Washington Post.
It makes it funnier that the Wash Post are the fakenewsers praising the TOTALLY GRASSROOTS!!!!!! group while they also noticed that Obama was busing in those totally grassroots protestors.
Back to the original fakenews, so long as you think the Tea Party a top-down, paid for, astro-turfed group of rioters willing to travel around the country to get their violence and stupidity on then they’re spot on. Which is what they thought the tea party was.
What I can’t figure out is whether or not Canada gets any US TV channels.
U.S. border guards would get new powers to question, search and even detain Canadian citizens on Canadian soil under a bill proposed by the Liberal government.
As we’re trying to limit the power of the feds here the Canadians are giving our feds more power!?!?!?!
Don’t encourage them you idiots! It’s only going to make our job here more difficult! Idjits.
While the men prayed, she (Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne V) sat patiently in the back corner of the mosque waiting to say the words many in the room were so thankful to hear.
The words they were so thankful to hear? “We will adhere to the tenets of your religion.” Actually, she said something else, but you know what they heard.
She sat in a corner in the back of the mosque while the men fucking prayed and she didn’t fucking leave. She didn’t seem to even realize they were making sure she knew her place.
As we watch California flooding caused by corrupt, CA pols… global worming, let’s focus on what’s important.
Frankly, I don't care who California blames for the problems it created by electing a Democrat supermajority. I'm just laughing at it.
In an impassioned plea, Mr Cook, boss of the world’s largest company (CEO of Apple V), says that the epidemic of false reports “is a big problem in a lot of the world” and necessitates a crackdown by the authorities and technology firms.
That’s a video of the streets of Dhaka in Bangladesh where the sacrificing for Eid is in full swing.
Huge swathes of animal sacrifices marking the Islamic festival Eid al-Adha turned the streets of Bangladesh’s capital into rivers of blood.
Authorities in Dhaka had designated areas in the city where residents could slaughter animals, but heavy downpours Tuesday rendered them out of action.
Instead, Muslims took to car parks, garages and alleyways to traditionally mark Eid al-Adha – or the Feast of Sacrifice – by slaughtering livestock and when the blood flowed into the streets, it turned them red.
That’s a lot of blood in that water. What gets me is people walking through it. Check out the pics at the link.
Think of it as a preview of the upcoming Battle For Mosul where the streets will run with blood too.
The United States has increased its forces in Iraq by almost 500 troops in the last week to support the operation to take Mosul from the Islamic State group, a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday.
ISIS are a bunch of murderous/suicidal, evil bastards who would think nothing of destroying the city as they fight. They’re planning on it.
Recall, they’re the ones who split off from al Quaeda because they’re a bunch of pussies and we know how al Quaeda acted in Fallujah. And that’s when we got most of the non-jihadi folks to leave the city. The people in Mosul do not have that option.
Some U.S. officers in Baghdad believe the Obama administration is rushing plans for a Mosul offensive so it takes place before the November presidential election, a retired general says.
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael D. Barbero said his contacts in Baghdad have relayed the concerns to him, fearing there is now an “artificial timeline” for what promises to be by far the toughest battle in the war against the Islamic State inIraq.

Nothing like telling your enemy when you’re going to attack.
Excerpt from a speech by Roosevelt, June 2, 1944.
…we shall be invading the coast of France, not at the Pas de Calais as the Nazis expect but at Normandy to surprise the Nazis!!! And we shall be invading in a few days!!! Beginning our task of driving the Nazis from their conquests on the European continent!!!!
Well, that would have been the speech if he was an idiot like Obama.
As I’m Writing The Post Update!!!!!!
Hannity is on talking about Trump’s rising poll numbers and I’m pretty sure he’s beating off under the desk as he talks about it.
Now, back to the post as it’s in progress!
Australia had their big gun-grab where it’s very difficult to own any guns anymore, so how’s that working out for them?
Crimes associated with firearm possession have also more than doubled, driven by the easy availability of handguns, semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and, increasingly, machine guns, that are smuggled into the country or stolen from licensed owners.”
The machine gun are almost definitely smuggled in as you cannot own a machine gun in Australia.
So gun-grabbing didn’t work, what to do, what to do?
Gun-controlled Australia is witnessing gun crime at such high levels that state and federal officials are pushing new controls that will do everything from enact a second national gun buyback to increase sentences for gun crime and illegal gun possession.
Make it more illegaler!!!!!!
Huh, I can’t figure that out. Gun control has worked so well in places in America that have tried it, like Chicago,
The West Midlands is STILL the nation’s gun crime capital – and it’s getting worse…
These were all cases where firearms were actually used (emphasis me, V) rather than just possessed, including firing them, threatening others with them or using them as a club-like weapon.
It means that there were 20 offences for every 100,000 people in the region last year, or one for every 5,000 residents.
That’s win/win for our fine political betters. They turn generally law-abiding people into either criminals or disarmed victims, both leading to reduced freedom as cops need to ignore other Constitutional amendments because of the rise in crime. Like “Stop and Frisk” where cops in NY were just stopping random folks for no reason except they felt like it and it was necessary because of all the gun crime. Cuz guns are illegal so the criminals know their victims are unarmed.
She was in for a rude awakening when she realized her 5-year-old kindergarten student had brought 30 packets of heroin to school Monday, officials said.
He brought enough for everybody so I don’t get the problem.
Caballero update!
I finally got it back today! It runs freaking great, sounds great, the transmission slips like mad so I can’t get on it!
Sonomogun. The first idiot I thought was a good mechanic 4 months ago told me I had a 4L60 transmission.
I just found out that a 4L60 has lots of electronics hanging off it for computer control. Mine has one (1) wire on it. Apparently something to do with kickdown.
The guy who put it together told me I have a 700r4 transmission, so I have to replace the torque converter.
Son of a bitch.
At least now I have a guy I can trust who can get that done in one day once I get the right torque converter.
The worst part is that I knew this guy but he has a muffler place. He’s done exhaust and brake work for me but I didn’t think of him as an engine guy. His father is a big motorhead who has a shop in Globe but he came to Mesa to work on my car.
I should have known, he has a Toyota Corolla he took the body off and replaced it with a body that looks like a huge muffler. It’s pretty cool, if you’re a muffler guy I guess.
Which actually works out, I’m supposed to drive like a grandma for 500 miles to break in the engine and I surely can’t stomp on it as it sits.
I cannot drive like a grandma, it goes against everything I stand for. When I was 16 I had a hitch-hiker refuse to get in my car, he had heard about me. If I hadn’t had a ’72 Dart with a 198 cubic inch engine with a whopping 100 HP I would have been wrapped around a tree by the time I was 16 3/4.
As it was, when driving on mountain roads with “no speed limit”, which meant 55 at the time, I would get the car to 60 (0-60 measured by sundial) and keep it there no matter what the road did.
Gila Muffler in Mesa did a great job, taking a car that had two people work on it before him and figuring out what was done, what needed to be done and what needed to be redone.
I actually paid him more than he asked as I thought he was undercharging me and I wanted him thinking happy thoughts about me when I need more work.
If you’re in the East Valley near Phoenix, I suggest you use Gila Muffler. Good, honest mechanics are hard to find.
On the east coast, I have a few friends who are mechanics so I haven’t had to worry about being ripped off since the 80s.
