"Life Is A Gift"

Alright dear friends, this says what I want to say. It's a good note to post before the weekend.

It has been a terrible week for humankind and for Israel. Just terrible. Between the baby murder stories from America and the violence in Israel, I literally was having palpitations of anxiety and waves of sadness just washed over me from time to time.

I was feeling really, reallly down until I listened to Carly Fiorina's wonderful speech, and read this magnificent article from Israel Hayom.

I also followed my own  standard prescription for beating back the darkness: positive thoughts, doing good, telling my loved ones I love them, walking in the sunshine, baking a beautiful cake for Shabbat, thanking G-d, and on a more shallow note a little bit of retail therapy.

G-d bless and keep this righteous mensch. How blessed he is to do G-d's healing work through his own hands.  There are so many things I love about this article, and the good doctor's attitude toward life.

Read the whole thing, you will not regret it

You will be inspired. 

I'm so glad I clicked on it.

Meet Professor Patrick Sorkin, Chief of Intensive Care at the Sourasky Medical Centre in Tel Aviv. 

"This month, Sorkin will retire from his demanding job, but he is not going to rest. He plans to establish an intensive care unit at the Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak. He refuses to rest. "The Lubavitcher rebbe said that a Jew is never allowed to retire. As long as a person is alive, he has to work. I don't really see myself going fishing in Acre."

"Ahead of his retirement he posted a status on the hospital's Facebook page that elicited thousands of likes and enthusiastic responses: "In my job I have seen patients that everyone was sure were already gone, but they managed to get back up on their feet and get well. Therefore, take a page out of my life experience and please, never give up, never relinquish hope, keep believing in the good and in the light even in the toughest situations. And above all, remember: Life is a gift."


Carly Fiorina Absolutely Rocks

Must watch this whole video and/or read the transcript. 

She is a leader. She has what it takes.

I feel the Reagan and the Churchill in her. 

Watch and share. For some CRAZY reason this only has 3,000 or so views.

Woody Allen Talks About Banging His Ex-Partner's Daughter, But In A Totally Paternal Way

But nobody's perfect, right? 

"But things got strange, even by Woody Allen standards, when the 79-year-old started talking about his much, much younger wife, whom he started seeing while in a relationship with her mother, Mia Farrow. While Allen is a firm believer that “love fades,” he says his marriage is special. Why? Because of the massive age gap, and specifically because he was “paternal” as Soon-Yi “deferred to” him."

“I lucked out in my last relationship,” he told Fragoso.

“I’ve been married now for 20 years and it’s been good. I think that was probably the odd factor that I’m so much older than the girl I married. I’m 35 years older, and somehow, through no fault of mine or hers, the dynamic worked. I was paternal. She responded to someone paternal. I liked her youth and energy. She deferred to me, and I was happy to give her an enormous amount of decision-making just as a gift and let her take charge of so many things. She flourished. It was just a good luck thing.”

It's funny, white liberals like Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, Roman Polanski, etc..get a free pass for their sexual proclivities, but Bill Cosby is getting raked across the coals. Is this a "white privilege" thing? It's probably one of the few examples, in the victim hierarchy where white trumps black. 

Mind you, liberals are always changing the rules so....

Pillows Soaked With Tears: The Story of the Nadeshinko Girls, Who Bid The Kamakaze Pilots Goodbye

Harrowing tale.

Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for Imperial Japan, or the Kamakaze pilots.

I feel for these girls, now old women, who were tasked with such an unforgivable accomplice role that haunts them to their very last days. 

Read the whole article. 

This is a particularly poignant and heartbreaking passage: 

"While their duties required little of the physically, the emotional strain it put them under caused tremendous suffering, with many refusing to talk about their experiences for the rest of their lives."

"The few who have chosen to tell of what happened at Chiran speak of the brave face of the pilots as they took off, juxtaposed with the fear they felt privately."

"While the young men smiled as they departed, the Nadeshinko would often go to remove their bedding only to find their pillows soaked with tears."

I just about lost it when I read that line.  

"The goodbye ceremonies themselves were equally painful. The girls were forced to put on smiling faces, as the men they had got to know over the previous weeks and days flew off to certain death."

"Remembering that still makes me tremble,' said Chino Kuwashiro, now a tiny 86-year-old with a stooped back."

'We waved and waved until we couldn't see them anymore. Why did we have to endure such sorrow?'

DUDE!

Dude of the day.

Sweden Is Falling Apart And I Can't Say I'm Too Busted Up About It

It is terrifically hard, well-make that impossible, for me to feel sorry for Sweden.

"While the Swedish elite celebrates itself by calling the former Viking land a “humanitarian super power” for letting in [sic] houndreds of thousands of Muslims within a handful of years, the country is falling apart. Recently there were four grenate [sic] explosions in Malmö, Swedens third largest city and famous for its high share of Muslim citizens, in a single week. That was the 30st grenade explosion in Malmö since January 2015 (compared to “only” 25 explosions in all of 2014)."

"A bit about Malmö..."

I also missed this charming story about cross-cultural social activities in Malmö from the end of July. Apparently "celebrate diversity" in Pashto was one of the phrases that the initial Swedish Welcome Wagon forgot to explain.

I guess these "excitable lads" (to borrow a SteynPhrase) must have thought that gang rape is the equivalent of asking for a helping of Swedish meat balls. No big deal, just part of the welcome. 

It's astonishing to me that more Swedes don't care in the slightest about their country now being rape capital of the world. But, I guess they have been sufficiently anesthetized by the crazy, leftist elites of their already crazy, leftist elite country.

Where Sweden goes, the rest of Europe is sure to follow.

 

"A Rare Voice Of Palestinian Sanity"

Very interesting article from Khaled Abu Toameh.

As I have said before, he is definitely one of the bravest journalists writing today.

The essay he reports on is equally brave.

"Dr. Abrash's article represents a rare voice of sanity among Palestinians. This is a voice that does not blame all the miseries of Palestinians on Israel alone and holds the Palestinians leadership also responsible for the continued suffering of their people."

"However, this is a voice that is rarely given a platform in mainstream media outlets in the West, whose journalists continue to focus almost entirely on stories that reflect negatively on Israel."

"Western journalists based in the Middle East tend to ignore Palestinians who are critical of the Palestinian Authority or Hamas. That is because such criticism does not fit the narrative according to which Israel is solely responsible for all the bad things that happen to the Palestinians."

"Dr. Abrash's criticism of Hamas and the PA -- whom he openly holds responsible for the suffering of their people -- actually reflects the widespread sentiment among Palestinians. Over the past few years, a growing number of Palestinians have come to realize that their leaders have failed them again and again. Today, many Palestinians are aware of the fact that both Hamas and the PA are responsible for hindering efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip and that the two parties are as corrupt as ever."

"But when will the international community and media wake up and comprehend what many Palestinians came to understand years ago, namely that the real tragedy of the Palestinian people has been -- and remains -- bad and irresponsible leadership?

I don't see that changing among Israel and Jew-haters. Jew/Israel hate trumps the actual needs, wants, aspirations and reality of the Palestinians. The hatred is so deep and so strong, that not even a Palestinian telling a non-Palestinian activist the truth, will change anything.

Unfortunately for the Jews, and unfortunately for the Palestinians, Palestinianism is the current, en vogue, socially acceptable and most palatable expression of Judenhass in the world since the Holocaust.

The left really loves having this cultish tool its disposal, and I don't see that changing in the near future. Jew-hatred is very resilient and amorphous and Palestinianism is a really "perfect' vehicle for antisemitism because racial/eugenic antisemitism against the Jews in the post-Holocaust era is still not socially or politically safe territory to tread upon.

Must Read the Brilliant Camille Paglia on Culture and Politics

She is a very, smart, ballsy woman with very original ideas, a clear understanding of history and does not suffer fools.

This is an excellent interview. There are so many clever thoughts articulated in this piece that I am going to read it a few more times because I don't want to miss anything.

Read the whole thing. 

Some choice nuggets:

Sneering at religion is juvenile, symptomatic of a stunted imagination.”  It exposes a state of perpetual adolescence that has something to do with their parents– they’re still sneering at dad in some way....All the great world religions contain a complex system of beliefs regarding the nature of the universe and human life that is far more profound than anything that liberalism has produced. We have a whole generation of young people who are clinging to politics and to politicized visions of sexuality for their belief system.  They see nothing but politics, but politics is tiny.  Politics applies only to society. There is a huge metaphysical realm out there that involves the eternal principles of life and death."

On "snark atheism" (brilliant):

"I despise snark.  Snark is a disease that started with David Letterman and jumped to Jon Stewart and has proliferated since. I think it’s horrible for young people!  And this kind of snark atheism–let’s just invent that term right now–is stupid, and people who act like that are stupid."

On comedy (also brilliant):

"Comedy, to me, is one of the major modern genres, and the big influences on my generation were Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl. Then Joan Rivers had an enormous impact on me–she’s one of my major role models.  It’s the old caustic, confrontational style of Jewish comedy."

"It was Jewish comedians who turned stand-up from the old gag-meister shtick of vaudeville into a biting analysis of current social issues, and they really pushed the envelope.  Lenny Bruce used stand-up to produce gasps and silence from the audience. And that’s my standard–a comedy of personal risk"

I think that's the best definition of stand-up comedy, and possibly comedy in general, that I've ever seen. 

And then a bit about her media reads (very similar to mine actually, but I usually cannot stomach Salon). This is how a reasonable, intelligent, well-informed person gets information, along with reading books of course.

I like her style:

"The first thing I always turn to is the Drudge Report, which I’ve done around the clock since the birth of that page... I admire the mix on Drudge of all types of news stories, high and low."

"The reason that nobody has been able to imitate Drudge is because he’s an auteur, stamping the page with his own unique sensibility and instincts.  It must be exhausting, because he must constantly filter world news on a daily basis.  He’s simply an aggregator, not a news source, but he has an amazing sense of collage. '

"The page is fluid and always in motion, and Drudge is full of jokes and mischief."

"So I begin with that, and then I check the New York Post, the New York Times, Salon.com, Lucianne.com, and Arts & Letters Daily.  The Washington Post online is far more ideologically diverse than the printed newspaper ever was.  I’ll look at British papers of opposing sides, like The Guardian and The Telegraph, and I’m a big fan of the tabloid Daily Mail.  I like Google News a lot–I can type in a topic like “Hillary” and get a whole range of articles, both liberal and conservative, including on obscure fringe web sites."

"I think it’s an absolute civic obligation for people to at least briefly review the full political spectrum of viewpoints on any major issue."

Smart Rabbi Explains "Holocaust" Warnings Very Sloooooooly To Idiot Liberals

THIS:

"In fact, the best way to avert a planned Holocaust is by evoking the language of Holocaust. What is so hard to understand about that? The best way for Paul Revere to announce the British are coming was by warning: “The British Are Coming”. Iran has declared its intentions to wage a Holocaust against Israel. This is “Holocaust” language. They and other Muslim radicals speak of "ovens”. Too many on Obama’s team seem more concerned about the feelings of Obama and Clinton, supporters of the Iran deal, than the actual threat posed to Israel and her population, including Israel’s children who’ll bear the brunt of the incineration. The Clinton and Schultz horror should be directed not at Mr. Huckabee, who truly loves Israel and her people, but at Iran and this dangerously concocted deal."

"Let me publicly state: Of the three, Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton, and Mr. Huckabee, the one I bet on for supporting Israel is Mr. Huckabee. He has always been there for Israel and the Jewish people, while the other two have not."

Hey Mayor: New Yorkers Want Order, Not Utopia

This is New York on socialism: 

"Listen, Mayor: the first job of government is to keep the people safe in their homes and in the streets. If you can’t do that as a municipal chief executive, you are a flop."

"Equality is not the job of government, unless you are a Communist, in which case equality usually comes at the barrel of a gun or the end of a noose."

"And voters of New York, please learn this lesson too, despite your attachment to FDR and the New Deal or your seductive professor of race-class-and-gender studies at Brown or Wesleyan."

"New York needs a realistic mayor. We don’t have one."

"You Don't Need Arms To Hug"

What an extraordinarily beautiful story. 

To think of all the people who have arms, but don't hug is really sad. What a waste of beautiful human arm!

Yesterday, I was at the hairdresser. The woman who did my colour (and yes, I will die blonde, thanks for asking) was really happy that it looked so nice, and so was I. I was about to leave and I said have a great summer, and I'll be back and she said 'wait wait, a hug, is that OK".

I was so happy.

YES A HUG IS OK!!

I'm a big hugger. Hugs are human, warm, comforting, the stuff of life.

Mark Steyn Gives GOP Losers A Slow, Clear Explanation About Being Losers

The Professional Republicans of America are all in a tizzy because THE DONALD. 

As they well should be.

I guess the suck up, crony, leftist, thuggish vapours emanating from the White House have affected the brains of many (most???) of GOP's best minds highest paid consultants bloated professional political class boring faux conservative cocktail party addicts losers.

From his interview with John Oakley this morning, Steyn reviews;

"...we discussed the way the normal rules of American politics apparently do not apply to the new GOP frontrunner."

"Given that the "normal rules" of American politics have delivered America into the hands of a permanent ruling class content to preside over a hyper-regulated, corrupt, cronyist, indebted borderless ruin mitigated according to taste by a deranged hyper-sexualized identity-politics totalitarianism hunting down homophobic bakers and confederate-flag decals, I'm rather relaxed about that."

I wonder how Steyn *really* feels about the GOP Losers?!?!

And is it wrong that I find his stern, firm, lecturing of the Loser Class moderately arousing?

UMMM...WAIT A SECOND, JUST WIPING MY BROW...THAT'S ODD??!?!?!?

IS IT HOT IN HERE?

SORRY WHERE WERE WE?!??!!

Right, right-eunuch "conservatives" who can't, you know WIN the Presidential election in America, and therefore DO SOMETHING about the decline of America. 

Conservatives in (North) America have (for the time being anyway) lost the culture war, and have lost public education, the media, the judiciary, the arts, the academy and so many other pillars of Western civilization.

We rightly expect the left to continue it's bloodbath against us, non-stop because Crazy Never Sleeps. 

What we should never accept is being sold out by those who purport to share our values.

You know the ones who say they are conservative, get elected, but then turn into gonad-deprived, shrinking violets seduced by the narcotic effect of popular liberal extremists asking them if they want to sit at the popular kids table at the White House or House of Parliament. It's so easy, baby, just take one sniff of Utopian Dust, and everything will be just fine....

When voters elect individuals that pretend to care even a small bit about taking back some of that ground, and putting up a reasonable fight-and then those individuals completely bail on every single front-you get Donald Trump's numbers.

By the way, I am extremely happy that Mike Huckabee is doubling down and not offering some stupid, effeminate loser apology about his oven comments. 

Obama and Kerry are happily, voluntarily shoving Jews toward the Iranian ovens.

America, under President Obama, is aligned with Iran. That is a fact.

As Ruthie Blum explains: 

"I will not apologize and I will not recant," Huckabee retorted. 

"Because the word 'Holocaust' was invoked by the Iranian government. They used that very word."

"Huckabee is right. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, has openly called for the genocide of the Jews. Street demonstrations in Iran, particularly those celebrating the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and the taking of the U.S. Embassy staff hostage in 1979, all include chants of "Death to Israel," alongside those of "Death to America," and involve the burning of the flags of both countries."

"In spite of my own aversion to the abuse of imagery where the Holocaust is concerned, I see nothing far-fetched in Huckabee's warnings. While his critics are going figuratively ballistic over his "offensive language," Iran is literally going ballistic. With real missiles and genocidal goals."


"Words should not be taken lightly. Huckabee's ought to be heeded."
 

Thus, the only Jews you will find "upset" about Huckabee's comments are those that are extremist liberals who merely happened to have been born Jewish.

Their religion is liberalism.

A love note from the Ayatollah to Obama. Listen to and trust what the Iranians say, not Obama and Kerry.

Forget About That Stupid Lion, Milo Yiannopolous Slays Sacred Cows (Animal And Human)

This is a freaking work of art. 

"Everyone knows that becoming a feminist makes a woman less marriageable, more crass and generally just unpleasant to be around. But does it also make them uglier? Readers have been asking, so I delved into the science to find out."

"Irresponsible celebrity feminists tell women, in a constant orgy of affirmation, to love themselves no matter what their size or shape and that no matter what they look like, they are beautiful and “real.” These supposed role models also encourage women to swarm into traditionally male occupations and hobbies to prove that women are just as capable of being computer programmers or lumberjacks as men."

"Such advice is selfish, cruel, and a lie. In fact, if you want to attract the attention of a high-value potential husband, you’re much better off doing things that will make you pretty — spending time with puppies, children and flowers and listening to Mariah Carey ballads — rather than indulging in today’s dykeish and profanity-laced female empowerment culture."

Very Interesting: Israel's Best Diplomat-Arab, Palestinian, Israeli, Christian

Great story, great lessons. 

Tablet often has gems, bookmark this wonderful site and do read this entire article.

"In a lecture in the House of Literature in Oslo, during the launching of the Norwegian translation of Benny Morris’ history book dedicated to the 1948 war, Deek recounted how his grandfather fled Jaffa and reached Lebanon, how he insisted on getting back into Israel when the war ended, and how he raised his family in the nascent Jewish state."

"He talked about the personal suffering of his own family, now scattered all around the world, but also about the fact that “the Palestinians have become slaves to the past, held captive by the chains of resentment, prisoners in the world of frustration and hate.”

"But he talked mainly about the way forward, and mainly about hope. He spoke about his neighbor Avraham, a Holocaust survivor, who taught him always to look to the future and not to the past."

"He gave his listeners a sense of why a young Arab-Palestinian has decided to dedicate his career to the Israeli Foreign Service. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the speech quickly went viral under the somewhat ironic title “the best speech an Israeli diplomat ever held.”

And this is very wise, clear and truthful:

If there is no place in the Middle East for a Jewish State, than there is no place for anyone who is different,” he said." 

“And this is why we see today persecution of Yazidis, Christians, Baha’i, Sunni against Shia and vice versa, and even Sunni against other Sunni who do not follow Islam exactly the same way. The key to change is connected deeply to our ability as Arabs to accept the legitimacy of others. Therefore, the Jewish State is our biggest challenge, because it has a different nationality, religion, and culture. Jews pose a challenge because as a minority they insist on their right to be different. The day we accept the Jewish State as it is, all other persecution in the Middle East will cease.”

"The Family Works Hard and Is Known to Be Generous"

Makes me want to have a cheeseburger and fries and a Coke!!!

(OK, not really a cheeseburger because it's not Kosher, and not a burger there because it's not Kosher, and not fries because AS YOU KNOW AND MY BUBBIE ALWAYS SAID A MOMENT ON THE LIPS AND A LIFETIME ON THE HIPS, and not a Coke, because WATER, but you get the idea!

I love this.

We, the world, America need MORE THIS. MORE MORE MORE.

This is a man's man indeed. 

Via the great Tim Blair.

An American Travesty of Justice

This is so sad and makes me really angry as well.

The witch-hunt by liberals of conservatives is quite literally a blood sport. 

Suicide is a permanent "solution" for a temporary problem.  Life is too precious.

But the problem of liberals politically, psychologically, professionally and economically terrorizing those with whom they disagree, with an aim of destroying them is a permanent problem of our times.

Must Read: Donald Trump and the Fed Up Crowd

Really well done, by the great VDH: 

"The fed-up crowd likes the payback of watching blood sport in an arena where niceties just don’t apply anymore. At least for a while longer, they enjoy the smug getting their comeuppance, as an uncouth, bullheaded Trump charges about, snorting and spearing liberal pieties and more sober and judicious Republicans at random."

"Perhaps they don’t see the abjectly crude Trump as any more crude that Barack Obama calmly in academic tones assuring Americans that they all could keep their doctors and health plans when he knew that was simply untrue or announcing to the nation that his own grandmother was a “typical white person” or advising supporters to “get in their face.”

"They see Trump as no more vindictive that Harry Reid lying about Mitt Romney’s tax returns (and then bragging that such a lie helped defeat him), or a Sen. Barbara Boxer publicly attac­­king the single, non-parental status of then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. And they certainly don’t see Trump as uncouth as an Al Sharpton — former presidential candidate, chief advisor on matters of race to Barack Obama, and current TV news show host."

"Trump’s crass bombast is enjoyed by the fed-up crowd as the proper antidote to the even greater bombast of the Left, who created Trump’s latest manifestations."

Oklahoma Jews Bury Holocaust Victim's Remains

Human life is sacred in Judaism. 

Unlike in other barbaric cults, death is not worshiped.

The dead are treated with dignity, as are the living mourners.

Every piece of the human body is sacred and must be treated and buried with respect. 

This is why the ghoulish barbarians are holding the bodies of IDF soliders. 

This is why the barbarians ripped apart Jewish men with their bare hands, crazed and baying for blood. 

This is why the barbarians cut out the heart of a Jewish baby and gleefully slaughtered her and her family. 

Jews will live for eternity because we reject the cult of death and will always celebrate and revere life.

Media and Entertainment Elites Are the PR Wing of the Democratic Party

I know many young adults who think that the Daily Show is a news show.

It's where they get their "news" from.

The extent of the incestuous co-mingling should surprise absolutely nobody. 

Nobody cares that this was partisan political advocacy tarted up as entertainment and "comedy". 

However, I found this little nugget informative:

"Obama White House officials enjoyed it when Stewart was singing from the same hymnal. But they also were quick to pay attention when he turned against them."

He’s an expert shamer,” said Dag Vega, a former White House staffer who was in charge of booking the president and other administration officials onto The Daily Show"

"Axelrod, a frequent Stewart guest, kept in touch with the host by phone and email. In an interview, Axelrod said Stewart was “a useful prod” for the administration"

More like a useful idiot.

How anyone can think that abortion is not killing a baby is beyond me.

Planned Parenthood is evil. The scale of baby-murder perpetrated by humans is genocidal.

Live From Norwalk, It's Carly!

I like her style. 

Cruz/Fiorino would be a great team.

"A question was put to her about the recent Planned Parenthood matter. Again she showed her ability to challenge the status quo and control the message. She told the audience to watch the video of her and CNN’s Jake Tapper. She schooled him. (And in any debate she would destroy Hillary.) Her main point is that Hillary is the extremist and her “not a child until it leaves the hospital” position reflects poorly on the character of a nation. She would defund Planned Parenthood. Big applause.

"I suppose for some she has a “Mitt” problem. Yes, she is rich, so people wonder, “Does she care about a person like me?” I would only suggest that people appreciate the fact that she has been divorced, fired from her job, had cancer and one stepchild die due to drug addiction. I don’t know any family in America that hasn’t been touched by at least one of those four horribles. She was nice as pie to the crowd and not stiff at all."

"She has a steep hill to climb simply because she now has essentially zero name recognition. If not nominated for President, she would be the perfect nominee for Vice President."

Behold The Glories of TSA Security Kabuki

"Man with no ticket arrested after getting on plan with no ticket or boarding pass." 

I feel much safer now. 

A Bogus Warrant, A Burned Baby And An Immoral War

Read every single word of this shameful story. 

Is there a "silver lining" in this story? Yes, that the toddler who had a grenade lobbed into his crib is not dead. 

But other than that, this is a disgusting and horrifying tale of abuse of power, of lies, of an arrogant lack of remorse and disgraceful and dangerous behaviour at every single level of officialdom.

Absolutely horrifying.

Lies upon lies, arrogance and endangerment of life by power drunk state law enforcement officials. 

And believe me, this is what can happen in any country where the sanctity of individual life is eroded by the ruling culture.

"Shortly after midnight on May 28, 2014, Habersham County, Georgia, Deputy Sheriff Nikki Autry asked Magistrate Judge James Butterworth for a "no knock" warrant to search a house on Lakeview Heights Circle in Cornelia. In her application, Autry, a special agent with the Mountain Judicial Circuit Narcotics Criminal Investigation and Suppression Team, said a confidential informant "was able to purchase a quantity of methamphetamine from Wanis Thonetheva" at the house she wanted to search. She said the informant was known to be "true and reliable," having "provided information in the past that has led to criminal charges on individuals selling illegal narcotics in Habersham County." She added that she had personally "confirmed that there is heavy traffic in and out of the residence."

"According to a federal indictment announced last week, none of that was true."

LIES:

"A report on the raid provided by Terrell implied that the police did all they reasonably could to make sure there were no children in the home. "According to all the information able to be gathered at the time," it says, "there were no children or dogs at the residence."

"But the Phonesavanhs had been living in the house for about six weeks, and anyone paying attention would have noticed signs of children. In their lawsuit, the Phonesavanhs note that "a clearly identifiable case" for Bou Bou's portable playpen was sitting outside the house, next to the door breached by the SWAT team. The minivan parked in the driveway through which the cops approached the house contained four child seats and "had figures affixed to the rear window indicating the presence of a family with several children." In the yard were "children's toys, including a plastic child's pool."

"Even if the cops missed these clues in their hurry to break down the door, rudimentary surveillance prior to the raid would have revealed the presence of children, who frequently played with their father in the front yard."

Thank goodness there are still honourable men in America. John Horn, the acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, had this to say:

 "Our criminal justice system depends upon our police officers' sworn duty to present facts truthfully and accurately," Horn said last week."

"There is no arrest that is worth selling out the integrity of our law enforcement officers. In this case, Autry is charged with making false statements to a judge in order to obtain search and arrest warrants. Without her false statements, there was no probable cause to search the premises for drugs or to make the arrest. And in this case, the consequences of the unlawful search were tragic."

That is exactly right.

Honour and truth are the cornerstones of civilized societies. The rule of law depends on each individual, and especially individuals who have the power, and gunpower of the state in their hands, to act honourably, and to be very seriously punished when they abuse that power.

The honourable, as Mark Steyn often has said, cannot force bad politicians or other corrupt implements of the state to make good choices and to behave properly. But they, we, must make it impossible, or at the very least, exceptionally difficult for those individuals to do the wrong thing.

We must never, ever relent.


America Very Interested in Being Exceptionally Supine and Compliant With North Korea

Stupid Elitist Humans in Government Making Stupid Immigration Policies and The Resulting Stupid Band-Aid "Solutions"

Exhibit one:

Taxpayers' hard-earned money is being used in the UK to "deprogram" a 3-year old 'extremist' child. Not an extremist Jew, Amish or Pastafarian.

If you think this is a good idea, then you are stupid. The better idea is not bringing mass populations of new immigrants, or illegals to your country whose primary beliefs are antithetic to democracy.

"A three-year-old child from London is one of hundreds of young people in the capital who have been tipped as potential future radicals and extremists"

"As reported by the Evening Standard, 1,069 people have been put in the government's anti-extremism 'Channel' process, the de-radicalisation programme at the heart of the Government's 'Prevent' strategy."

"The three-year-old in the programme is from the borough of Tower Hamlets, and was a member of a family group that had been showing suspect behaviour"

And I'll go further. If you think that the government has the right to "deprogram" any 3-year old child then you are a nanny-state loving bastard, and super stupid. and I hate you as well.

Exhibit two: 

The Canadian government is planning to strip terror suspect of his Canadian citizenship.

Perhaps this is a good start?

That would be the conventional wisdom for conservatives.

Well, I'm not really terribly conventional.

So I say, hey "Conservative" majority government: how about limiting the immigration to Canada by this type of chap?

And again, when I say "this type of chap" I mean having a serious, national "conversation" about immigration from countries that are either themselves democracies, have democratic inclinations or yearnings, or are providing Canada with immigrant individuals that at the very least must be required to swear fidelity to democratic values (at a cost of forfeiting citizenship and being deported) to their new country, to the values represented by Canada and to not subverting them.

In America, how about stopping the flow of illegal aliens bringing lethal, Third World diseases across the borders? 

How about our betters in government stop trying to present us with band-aid , smoke and mirrors judicial and legal 'solutions' to an immigration policy problem?


OMG: Instapundit With the Defining Paragraph on "Sex Education"

I posted about this earlier.

I often say that "sex education" is just sexual grooming.

It's creepy and mostly created and implemented by sex-obsessed pedophiles and is used to groom children for sex and hyper-sexualize them at ever-younger ages with the full collaboration of leftist governments.

But Instapundit summarizes the issue with unique, sage, clarity and I will definitely be quoting this in the future:

"When did sexual education turn into sexual proselytizing?"

"Iowa Safe Schools and other similar LGBT “safe schools” efforts aren’t about preventing bullying or even sexual education, but about promotion of LGBT sex. "

"Yes, students need to learn the specifics about body parts, how they work, and how babies are made. Such education became integral, after all, to help prevent unwanted pregnancies."

"But unwanted pregnancy is not possible with LGBT sex. So teaching about specific LGBT sexual techniques and practices isn’t sexual education, it’s sexual promotion. And many parents are, understandably, not comfortable with the public school system being used for such promotion.

"Those parents who are comfortable with teaching sexual promotion–learning the means of sexual pleasure–are of course free to discuss these matters with their children."

THAT IS ALL.

Social Justice Bullies: A Profile in Outrageous Outrage

"To the social justice advocate of our time, conclusions are not contingent on facts; rather, facts are contingent on conclusions. In a global example of confirmation bias, the truth is malleable."

"The malleable truth is molded around the theoretical viewpoints of social justice. In order to uphold the sanctity of this viewpoint, adherents ostracize dissension. It’s nothing new — it’s a tactic as old as religion itself. Instead of holy texts, though, the millennial social justice advocate bows at the altar of the currently-in-vogue ideological Trinity: Marxism, Feminism, and Post-Colonialism."

"We Will Prevail"

This is a very good column for Tisha B'Av. 

I'm fasting today, and trying to focus on the good.  And the good is Jewish survival.

"The funerals were devastating. The cries of orphaned children, widowed wives, and the worst of the worst – deep wailing from glossy-eyed and near fainting fiancés – still echoes in my ears."

"I approached one grieving mother at the conclusion of a funeral and blurted out the cliché that we have been trained to say: “I am sorry for your loss.”

"She replied without hesitation: “Sorry? I am not sorry for my loss. I am devastated and we will mourn for the rest of our lives. But I am not sorry. I am proud that my son died defending the state of Israel and the Jewish people.”

"What a statement! What a perspective! We truly are a remarkable nation."

Security Alert For Toronto Area Synagogues

This week, a local synagogue was being photographed and surveilled by three men.  Every synagogue and Jewish school needs to be locked, with members watching ALL THE TIME. I hope the shul's security camera catches these motherf&ckers.

Do you think local mosques have this problem?

Via e-mail:

"This past Wednesday evening, three unidentified men were observed on York Hill Blvd taking photos of the Shul.  When approached, they jumped into their car, a black VW Golf, and quickly drove off."

"We have advised both the York Region Police and CIJA Security Officer.  Our Security Volunteer Team and paid guards have also all been informed to heighten their attentiveness and patrols.  In the interests of public security, we ask all of our members and guests to be vigilant and keep an eye out for any such vehicle near our premises, or anyone seen taking photos of our property."

   

Totally Not Crazy Mark Steyn Discusses Just How Crazy the Crazies of Alberta Are

This is magnificent. 

"Ezra's and my campaign to restore free speech to Canada began with the Danish Mohammed cartoons. As one of the handful of publishers in the free world willing to show his readers what innocent people were being threatened and killed over, Ezra was dragged before the Alberta "Human Rights" Commission by some dimestore imam purporting to be head of the Supreme Islamic Supreme Council of Islamic Supremacists or some such. He was interrogated by an "agent" of the Alberta "Human Rights" Commission, one Shirlene McGovern, who courtesy of YouTube briefly became the most famous Albertan on the planet. Ezra had asked to be allowed to video his inquisition, and Agent McGovern foolishly agreed."

"The defining moment of the encounter came when Ezra was musing on the impact Agent McGovern and her disgraceful commission had on free speech. It wasn't just the time and money Canada's "human rights" commissions directly cost publishers defending their already published work; he pointed out the broader "chilling effect" - on all the stories that will never see the light of day because at the back of some editor's mind is the calculation of the expense of fending off Shirlene McGovern and her ilk. And, at the end of Ezra's little riff, Agent McGovern, licensed to chill, looked blandly across the table and shrugged:
You're entitled to your opinion, that's for sure.
"And Ezra snapped back: No, if I was entitled to my opinion, I wouldn't be here. It's because that dreary familiar cliché is no longer operative in Canada that he was obliged to spend three years of his life and a six-figure sum justifying in law his entitlement to his opinion. Like many of the foot-soldiers of soft totalitarianism, Shirlene McGovern was such a halfwit mediocrity she was insufficiently self-aware to understand that she was using a shopworn banality that she herself had helped render obsolete."

What these assholes really mean is: you're entitled to OUR opinion.

That's for sure! 

The Steyn/Levant/Maclean's strategy therefore reigns supreme: 

"When Maclean's and I caught the attention of the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission, the Ontario "Human Rights" Commission and the British Columbia "Human Rights" Tribunal, the first thing we did was have a big conference call with me and my editor Ken Whyte and various executive vice-presidents of our corporate parent, Rogers. And, as we had taken the position that we weren't going to defend the contents of the piece or our right to publish it, as to do so was an implicit acknowledgment of these bozos' jurisdiction over us, I asked Julian Porter, QC if we were allowed to comment on the bozos themselves and their bozo system. And Julian said that, as these commissions were, strictly speaking, "administrative tribunals" rather than courts proper, there was no such thing as "contempt of court".

"In theory, my naked contempt for, say, Judge Natalia Combs Greene of the DC Superior Court could result in adverse consequences for me and my counsel. But my naked contempt for Chief Commissar Barbara Hall of the Ontario "Human Rights" Commission attracts no such sanction."

 "So immediately Maclean's and I began demonstrating our contempt of the "human rights" commissions on a near industrial scale. During the trial itself, after we'd adjourned for the day, I stood in the lobby of the Robson Street courthouse in Vancouver and dismissed the three jurists as "a Soviet-style troika" of "pseudo-judges" presiding over a "kangaroo court", etc, etc, and, reading his Globe & Mail the following morning, Julian choked on his eggs Benedict and asked if I wouldn't mind dialing it back a notch, at least when I was physically on the premises. (A British Columbia sheriff's deputy stuck to me wherever I went, and had already warned me that the judges didn't like me autographing books in the well of the court. I ordered up an extra palette.)"
 
"But the point remains: it's not possible to be in "contempt" of the pseudo-judges' pseudo-court."

This: Stop Donating to Jewish Establishment Organizations

"Israel does not exist because of the establishment, but in spite of it. It exists because while the establishment bosses in New York were swallowing Soviet lies, young Jewish farmers worked the soil in Israel. If Israel survives, it will be because of its farmers, not because of New York’s corrupt bosses."

"If Obama’s nuclear deal is to be defeated, it won’t be done by the establishment insiders. The establishment is invested in its own credibility and its politics. It will make a show of fighting the Iran deal before fundraising off its miserable failure. And the money will go to fund its progressive causes."

"The establishment will not stand up to Obama, just like it didn’t stand up to FDR. Creative solutions will not come from the establishment, but from outside it. The establishment failed when it came to Israel, the Holocaust and Soviet Jewry. Expecting it to do any more about Iran than be “deeply concerned” is a formula for disappointment."

"While the ADL spends money on lesson plans about Bruce Jenner and social justice poetry, while the UJA winks and funds BDS, a ragged bunch of activists will once again be called on to stand against Armageddon. The establishment will condemn them as radicals and extremists and if they succeed, it will take all the credit for their deeds."

I would rather kiss the Law Society of Alberta than be seen with you."

"You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, and a weasel. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon"

"You emit more stupid in one minute than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. It cannot be possible that anything in our universe can really be this stupid."

"Writing this in steaming cat piss on a hot summer sidewalk would be too good for you. Writing this in the writhing bodies of one million wingless flies glued to a barn door with cow shit is too good for you. (OK, that part was original. I'm not without generosity.)"

"In closing, I hope this finds you unwell."




UK: Holocaust Survivor Called "Nazi"

"A Holocaust survivor who set up a pro-Israel stall at a trade union festival is saying he was hounded from the event by pro-Palestinian campaigners who called him a “Nazi”, according to the Express website."
 
"The survivor, Henry Schachter, set up the Bournemouth Action for Israel stand at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival in Dorset, in order to provide an alternative view to the anti-Israel Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s (PSC) stall which regularly appears at the event."

"But the 76-year-old said he and his colleagues were forced to retreat amid “intimidating and virulent” abuse by left-wing Palestinian supporters who were all white English people."

"Life Is Good and Worth Living"

My husband and I saw this extraordinary, beautiful young man and his friends on a documentary show on Israeli television last week and I was crying my eyes out.

These guys went to a military high school and were from all different parts of Israel, and from all different backgrounds. When they met, they knew they would be friends forever. They were all in the military high school on the officer's training track.

Pretty much out of the blue, Omri started experiencing strange symptoms-his legs were shaking, and other strange stuff. He went to the hospital and the diagnosis was swift and conclusive: ALS.

The friends decided that they were not going to wait for the illness to get worse and went with Omri and a bunch of other friends on a huge trip to South America. About a year later, there was a real deterioration. The friends decided to move in together, and between them, they take care of their friend. They have one hired caregiver, but between them and their extended group of 10-20 guys, they do everything.

The most touching thing about it was that his friends didn't know why anyone would want to do a documentary about them. They said it was completely not extraordinary that they were taking care of their friend-it's what friends do. They were adamant.

I keep thinking about that idea, because that's often how I feel when people make really well-intentioned remarks about not being able to do what I do, or how do you do that, i.e take care of a disabled child. I know it's meant to be a compliment, I really do understand that. But it generally has the opposite affect and makes me feel terrible. And of course, I forgive those who do so because I understand that their praise comes from a sincere place of love and respect.

It really should be nothing remarkable that I love and take care of my son. It should be nothing remarkable that people take care of their infirm parents or other disabled relatives or friends.

I don't remember the last time I was so profoundly moved by a story of human resilience and friendship. It was utterly heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time.

Omri said in the documentary that he is often asked if he thinks about 'why' this happened to him, and not to his friends. He said that he knows that he's the only one who could have handled it, and that while lots of people have ALS, nobody has friends like his. 

My heart is both aching and swelling with pride for this young man, his friends and family.

Remarkable, loving, humans.

"Life is Good and Worth Living". 

Here is the link to the show in Hebrew, and I know that not a lot of my readers are fluent in Hebrew.

However, knowing the story, I believe you can get a feel for Omri and his incredible friends just by watching them interact. It's just under 40 minutes and you will not regret a single minute that you spend getting to know these wonderful human beings, G-d bless and keep them all.

The Bloodthirsty, Insatiable Outrage Addicts of the Internet

"The latest story of internet mob justice is a depressing one."

"Two elderly hearse drivers driving the flag-draped coffin of a military man stopped to grab a donut before their long drive from one Florida town to the next."

"A man saw the parked hearse and took a video of himself confronting them about this apparent disrespect to a fallen hero."

"When they didn’t seem remorseful for stopping at a Dunkin Donuts, he sent the video to a pro-veterans group. One thing led to another and the video went viral, the internet freaked out, and the two men—both in their seventies—lost their jobs."

“Our lives are now ruined because of a donut,” one of the men wrote on Facebook.

God forgive me. We now have no means of income because of a donut and being human.”

"Few things are as dangerous as the toxic mix of hero worship and outrage culture."

"Two elderly men are now out of their jobs because they stopped to grab a snack before making an hour-and-a-half drive."

Bloody Depressing Link Dump

Very busy so I can only spend a little bit of time depressing the living snot out of you.

OH WELL NOW...you know how I always talk about Obama's thug regime, well check this out:

The first rule of ObamaCare Contractor's Prison Fight Club is never talk about ObamaCare Contractor's prison Fight Club.

And this: liberals have "won" a bunch of policy victories, and most Americans are not exactly thrilled about it. Most Americans, meaning NORMAL Americans of course. 

The question is, what are they going to do about it? For goodnessssssssake, Americans elected Obama twice. Argh. But, this statement makes me happy: "What appeared to be overwhelming wins for President Obama in June and July are not resonating with his base quite as soundly as may have been expected."

The UK Is Screwed.

Brave New World: Kids Build Their Own Lego Hands

Holy crap!

VDH: Obama's Dangerous Rhetoric

THIS: 

"Obama apparently believes that strategic threats are not checked with tough diplomacy backed by military alliances, balances of power, and military deterrence, much less by speaking softly and carrying a big stick."

"Rather, crises are resolved by ironing out mostly Western-inspired misunderstandings and going back on heat-of-the moment, ad hoc issued deadlines, red lines, and step-over lines, whether to the Iranian theocracy, Vladimir Putin, or Bashar Assad. Sometimes the administration’s faith in Western social progressivism is offered to persuade an Iran or Cuba that they have missed the arc of Westernized history—and must get back on the right side of the past by loosening the reins of their respective police states."

(That is it, in a nutshell...the arrogant ethos of Western liberals is perfectly encapsulated in that paragraph.)

"Obama believes that engagement with Iran in non-proliferation talks—which have so far given up on prior Western insistences on third-party, out of the country enrichment, on-site inspections, and kick-back sanctions—will inevitably ensure that Iran becomes “a successful regional power.”

Read about Obama's "zesty confidence in the redemptive power of Western moral superiority".

(I think he has "zesty confidence", but not in Western values, only in Western values insofar as they enable and facilitate the suicide of the West via Obama's presidency.) 

 "The world is going to become an even scarier place in the next two years. The problem is not just that our enemies do not believe our President, but rather that they no longer even listen to him."

"This Is How I Was Raised"

Wonderful story of "Anglo" IDF Recruits on their induction day.

May they all come home safely and in good health.

Must Read Daniel Greenfield: Deport the Abdulazeez Family

Saying what other people are thinking, but are too afraid to say out loud. 

Greenfield, Ann Coulter, Mark Steyn, Donald Trump and a handful of talk radio hosts are the only ones in America willing to 'start the conversation'.

"Just like the Tsarnaev terrorists, the media is digging into the background of this dysfunctional Muslim family. We have learned that Youssef Abdulazeez liked to beat and rape his wife. He even wanted to get a second wife to rape and beat, as permitted “under Islamic law… in the parties’ native State of Palestine. He also included some of his kids in his Koran-approved domestic abuse."

"The family is issuing statements claiming that their son, like every Muslim terrorist ever, was suffering from “depression” and that Islam is a peaceful religion. But the father’s donations to Hamas and the rants about America, Israel and Europe on his family’s social media tell a very different story."
 
"The only obvious conclusion from all this is that the Abdulazeez family, like the Tsarnaevs, should never have been allowed into this country."

"And after 9/11, they should not have been allowed to stay."

"Their history of domestic abuse and terrorism is abnormal by American standards, but normal by Muslim ones."

Why Liberals Don't Care That Planned Parenthood Sells Baby Parts

Basically because abortion is the highest sacrament of the Church of Liberalism.

But moreover: 

"Planned Parenthood aborts babies. If you see these children as children, there’s no excuse for abortion. If you see them as nothing more than medical waste, no excuse needs to be made."


Seattle Officials Just Cannot Bend Over Far Enough For Sharia

Mark Steyn: The Great Thing About Living on Your Knees Is Not Noticing Anything In Front of Your Eyes

Free speech champion and prophet Mark Steyn, PBUH explains it slowly: 

After Charlie Hedbo's editor decided not to run any more images of Mohammad, Steyn wrote about it, and got some feedback:

"As Laurent "Riss" Sourisseau, Charlie Hebdo's new editor, put it:
It's a little strange to be expected to exercise a freedom of expression that no one else dares to.
On Saturday, after I mentioned M Sourriseau's decision, I received a fair few responses about "gutless hypocrites" and "French cowards". A number of them came from persons using a pseudonym, which perhaps renders demands for courage from others somewhat less persuasive. Here's where Riss was that January morning:
"The man got one-and-a-half meters from me and shot into space. Everything was very quiet. Only the shots were heard. Not a single cry. Then he was aiming at me. He shattered my right shoulder." Sourisseau played dead until the assassins, the brothers Kouachi, had left. "When it was over, not a sound could be heard. Not a cry. Not a whimper. As I understood, most were dead."
When you did what they did, then you have the right to curse them for not continuing to go on doing it."



And yet, Steyn's prophetic words from not that long ago, remain unheeded:

"We will be retreating into a lot more self-censorship if the pansified Western media doesn't man up and decide to disburse the risk so they can't kill one small, little French satirical magazine. They've gotta kill all of us."

There is no interest among the cowardly, pseudonymous masses to accept their part of risk disbursement and I don't see that changing. I just can't picture a massive ideological shift now to "they've gotta kill us all".

In other related, thoroughly depressing and annoying news:

Douglas Murray says this was David Cameron's best speech ever on Muslim terrorism and lack of integration. 

Hey, I wonder if David Cameron knows that female genital mutilation is such a wonderfully popular "British" custom? 

Did you know that Britain has FIVE seasons?

Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer and "CUTTING" SEASON?!?!  

David Solway discusses how 'progressives' devour their kill. 

" There can be little doubt that Sir Hunt (yes, he is knighted) is the triple victim of the radical feminist movement, the plague of political correctness that has polluted the wells of intellectual discourse, and the spineless accommodations of university administrators and institutional bureaucrats."

"None of this should surprise us, but it should alarm us about the moral and intellectual degradation that has befallen the world of presumably informed opinion in the Western “social imaginary.” There is, however, even further cause for alarm, and that involves the manner in which the targets of such vendettas typically accept the prevailing cultural consensus." 

EXACTLY. 

F&ck that. 

Elsewhere:

Obama blames DA JOOOOOOOOOZ for being against the Iran "deal" a.k.a capitulation. Damned neo-cons JOOOOOOOZ.

However, the details of the "deal" are being withheld from Congress, oddly enough. 

America is being run by a craven, Marxist, supine, Islamic jihad-compliant regime. 

For a more impressive story, watch how Carly Fiornia schools the mainstream liberal media.

Seriously, she is just cleaning their clocks.

This is how conservatives should do liberal media: make no apologies, and expertly and firmly steer the conversation right to their hypocrisy and journalistic crimes of omission and omerta where liberals are concerned. IN. THEIR. FACES.

Most excellent.

And lastly, extremist liberal, election loooooooser Bernie Farber moans about Stephen Harper not bowing down to Ontario's vagitarian premier. The more annoying thing is that he thinks that if he uses a Yiddish word like "shanda" that gives him some kind of extra special Jewish authority. Idiot.

Such a pity that so few Jewish "leaders" ever tell him to have a heaping cup of STFU. I guess they just ignore him for the most part.

ZZZZZzzz so sleepy so bored....

BIG WHOOP, Bernie.

Rest in Peace: American Jewish Pilot Lou Lenart, Saviour of Tel Aviv, Dies at 94

"Lou Lenart, a U.S. Marine Corps pilot during World War II who later helped thwart an Egyptian advance on Tel Aviv in Israel’s 1948 War of Independence, died Monday at age 94."

"Lenart was born Layos Lenovitz to Jewish farmers in Hungary. His family moved to America when he was 10 years old and settled in Pennsylvania. He later enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17 and became a pilot, seeing action during the Battle of Okinawa and elsewhere in the Pacific."

"Following World War II, Lenart joined Israel’s nascent air force, which consisted of just four Czech-built German Messerschmitt fighter planes. During the 1948 war, when Egyptian forces were closing in Tel Aviv, Israeli commanders decided to risk their entire fleet of planes and attack the Egyptian advance. Lenart, who was the most experienced pilot in the group, led the charge. Surprised by the Israeli aerial attack, Egyptian forces eventually retreated."

Modern-day Maccabee. Rest in Peace. 

Sowell: A Historic Catastrophe

"During the years when we confronted a nuclear-armed Soviet Union, we at least realized that we had to "think the unthinkable," as intellectual giant Herman Kahn put it. Today it seems almost as if we don't want to think about it at all."

"Our politicians have kicked the can down the road -- and it is the biggest, most annihilating explosive can of all, that will be left for our children and grandchildren to try to cope with."
"Back in the days of our nuclear standoff with the Soviet Union, some of the more weak-kneed intelligentsia posed the choice as whether we wanted to be "red or dead." Fortunately, there were others, especially President Ronald Reagan, who saw it differently. He persevered in a course that critics said would lead to nuclear war. But instead it led to the peaceful conclusion of the Cold War."

"President Barack Obama has been following opposite policies, and they are likely to lead to opposite results. The choices left after Iran gets nuclear bombs -- and intercontinental missiles that can deliver them far beyond Israel -- may be worse than being red or dead."

Mother of Son Murdered By Illegal Aliens Slams Sanctuary Cities: "I'm Not Giving Up Another Kid"

Heartbreaking.  Laura Wilkerson's voice must be heard. 

My prayers are with her. This makes me so angry and sad. Read the whole thing. See if you can stomach the autopsy report.

“This was our family’s 9/11 terrorist attack by a foreign invader, whether you want to recognize it or whether you do not,” Wilkerson said."

“This government continues to fail or even recognize that we have an issue. Americans are dying daily at the hands of criminals that we don’t even know are here.”

“You’re officially notified today there’s a problem when this happens. You can’t deny it any longer. You cannot you cannot stand by and ignore our families — our American families. You’re elected by Americans, not any other country. You should be for Americans,” she emphasized."

“If you want to sit quietly on the sidelines, you’ve thrown your hat into the ring already. Your silence speaks volumes. You’re either for Americans, or you’re not."

I will not give up another one of my children so that a foreign person can have a nicer life. I’m not going to do it. You don’t understand the pain. It’s so deep in the soul — in the place you don’t even recognize you have. There aren’t words to describe the pain to someone who has not gone through it. I’m not giving up another kid,” she said."

Social Workers Gone Wild In the UK

What a disgusting disgrace and display of nanny-state arrogance.

"Grandparents blocked from adopting grandchild because they are 'too old'."

There are women getting IVF treatment in there 50s and 60s in Europe and nobody says anything. Social workers are out of control.

Save us from the "helpy people", who are SERIOUSLY DAMAGED HUMANS themselves.

Looks good on Sweden.

Must Read From Kurt Schlichter: The Real Reason American Troops Were Unarmed in Chattanooga

If you don't follow Kurt Schlichter on Twitter, you are losing out.

He's an excellent writer, a patriot and a solidly pro-Israel philosemite. If that's your thing, then read everything he writes.

I am often extremely moved by his essays and he makes me laugh out loud on Twitter when he engages with the effeminate, eunuch, Social Justice Warriors.

This one is a must read. 

"Service members on base and outside at remote recruiting sites are not being deprived of weapons just because of short-sighted directives. It’s much worse than that. They have no access to guns to protect themselves – though in most states the civilians they pass in the streets off-post can legally and easily carry concealed – because senior military leaders are more terrified of career-ending “incidents” than the safety of their troops."

"Shamefully, instead of preparing our warriors to confront the enemy, there is talk of having our servicemen and women shed their uniforms and hide inside their offices behind armed guards. That’s right – for the sake of a politician’s narrative and the careers of a few desk jockeys, we will take law enforcement off the streets to stand guard over some of history’s fiercest warriors rather than allow them access to the tools of their trade."

"It’s shameful. And it’s personal."

"Major John Gaffaney was an officer in 2nd Brigade, 40th Infantry Division, when I was in 1st Brigade. I don’t remember him that well, but we would both be part of the pack of captains and lieutenants at the rear of the Division briefing room back in the day. MAJ Gaffaney was shot dead by Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood. He was killed attacking that traitorous piece of slime with a chair."

Mark Steyn Suggests the Majority "Queeny, Hysterical Republican Bigshots" Start Talking About Things That Actually Matter

OK I have to say that I laughed out loud reading this one.

I started laughing at the title "The Superbowl of Superholes". 

HOLEY!

It's superb!

It contains many opportunities for a belly laugh, the kind of laugh that is totally cleansing because there is so much damned truth in the quip.

Steyn is absolutely right that "a citizenry that votes for an asshole is less deluded than one that votes for a messiah".

Look at Israel.

Nobody says that Israeli PM Netanyahu is a nice guy. He may be-I don't know, who cares?  Because when the possibility of nuclear annihilation looms over your country, you don't want nice.

Steyn continues:

"Thus, voting for, say, Silvio Berlusconi (a kind of wealthier mini-Trump, and yet the third longest serving prime minister in Italian history, after Mussolini and Giolitti) is less psychologically unhealthy than voting for Barack Obama. And, come to that, less damaging to republican virtue than voting for the previous guy's wife or brother."

This isn't the first time I have been impressed with Mark Steyn's Asshole Analytics. 

At my old blog, he came to my defence when an angry, stupid, Polish Jew-hater took issue with some of my memories of my Polish grandparents. It was magnificent, and he brought the term "assholian" to the world.

"Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them."

"The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty."

"He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes."

"A number of my competitors for the Republican nomination have no business running for president. I do not need to be lectured by any of them. Many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private sector."

"Some, however, I have great respect for."

California: Micro Aggression, Macro (Batsh&t) Crazy

More craven first world "problems" from the crazy state...

"Many purported microaggressions arise from the contradictions in diversity ideology. Authorities in a diversity regime are supposed to categorize people by race and ethnicity—until that unpredictable moment when they are not supposed to. Assigning a black graduate student to escort a black visiting professor, for example, is a microaggression, per the “Tool.” But wasn’t the alleged need for role models and a critical mass of “persons of color” a key justification for “diversity”? Describing a colleague as a “good Black scientist” is another microaggression. But such a categorization merely reflects the race-consciousness and bean-counting that the campus diversity enforcers insist upon."

Disagreement is the new micro-aggression.

Boy, these lefties can sure dish it out, but they cannot take it.

So, instead of arguing or debating like civilized adults (because they are unwilling and unable), they shriek MICROAGRESSION.

If you disagree with a leftist, you are hostile, and stalking them and making them feel "unsafe".

So much for "starting a conversation".

The conversation is basically two words: SHUT UP.








New York: This Is Your City on Communism

Punish your ideological enemies.

You have the right to their own opinion.

Disgusting.

When Your Betters in Government Play Russian Roulette With Your Life

Or the lives of your loved ones.

Victor Davis Hanson has a terribly sad, accurate and upsetting article about San Francisco and how sick it is to give sanctuary to the people who have a very good chance of murdering you, or someone you love. 

It's really evil.

"San Francisco, as is true daily in other sanctuary cities, rolled the dice with someone else’s safety, and, in this case, a life was lost."

(Actually, it wasn't "lost" and for VDH, who I admire so much, to use this passive language is very upsetting. The life was not "lost". There was a murder and I think we really always need to be cogniscent of our language, especially as it pertains to murder. )

 "In a larger sense, we are asked to believe that breaking federal law is a one-time phenomenon for the illegal alien, not often the beginning of habitual legal noncompliance that quickly snowballs into a labyrinth of illegality — all predicated on the crime of entering the U.S. unlawfully. Suggesting that cities with large populations of illegal aliens witness no greater per capita crime rates (and do we know accurately the number of illegal aliens who reside in these supposedly safer cities?) than others is to ignore everyday things like creating false identities, filing fraudulent Social Security numbers, and driving without licenses, insurance and registration. Or are these written off as mere infractions rather than crimes"

"By needs, the world of millions of illegal aliens is not one where one reports or counts all criminal activity, or considers reportable the sort of crimes that citizens would pay dearly for (try getting caught with a fake ID, or filing a Social Security number). But if the host country did not have a problem with millions entering it illegally, it certainly has even less than a problem with what follows."

Unfortunately, the same thing happens in Israel.

And it's wrong to blame Netanyahu post-facto. The Shalit family ran a relentless, well-funded PR campaign, and many voices warned that the price would be blood. Not his blood, but the blood of others.

As Issacharoff notes: "these transactions sanctify the blood of soldiers like Gilad Shalit, while reducing the value of other lives to zero. No matter how many tragic reminders Israel gets after negotiating the release of IDF soldiers; no matter how high the stack of Israeli bodies gets as a result of such transactions, there’s still a deeply embedded Israeli reflex that sends decision-makers back each time to the idea of a wholesale release of terrorists for a soldier or two.

Can you look at the photo in this article without weeping? I can't.

This is the result of "leaders" playing Russian roulette with human lives. 

"We Must Stop Indoctrinating Boys In Feminist Ideology"

Could not agree more.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. 

The re-education of boys is just, as I have said in the past, a slow process of castration.

The other insidious factor is the pharmaceutical component.

Little boys are drugged into oblivion, mostly with the approval of their mothers, or at the urging of their female teachers. If boys are to become real men and not castratti, there needs to be a concerted effort to eliminate the drugging of young boys and a push back against disgusting, anti-male, feminist propaganda being forced into every aspect of civil society-and most specifically into public education.




This Is How Conservatives Should Do Liberal Media

Carly Fiorina rocks it.

She takes no prisoners. I really, really, really like her style.

Worth your time, watch all videos.

This is Media 101 for conservatives.

Who Are the People in Your Neighbourhood?

Obama's newest project: destroying American neighbourhoods BECAUSE EQUALITY.

This Is Your City on Socialism

Public urination, mentally ill crazy people screaming at you, bums in parks and on sidewalks and the return of squeegie people.

Nice going, New York City.

From My Extensive "DUH!" File

Illegal aliens murder at a much higher rate than US citizens do. 

Why do Americans who are not radical leftists even use the term "undocumented"? They have lost the battle before they even begin to fight.

Using leftist terminology is a partial surrender.

It's not an Iran "deal" for example, it's capitulation.

President of Argentina, Home of WW2 Nazis and Iranian Hizballah Supporters, Says Those Damn JOOOOOOOS Are Making People Sick

Could this wretched harpy not just shut the f&ck up? 

"The Terrorists Freed in the Shalit Deal Are Murdering Us"

Well, duh.

At the time, Caroline Glick said 'we know that there will be murders, we just don't know the names of the victims now'.

So, now we know the names of most of the victims and of course there will be more.

When America Takes A Page Out of the Soviet "Justice" Manual

This is more information about the Stalinesque political persecution of conservatives in Wisconsin.

Read it and weep. 

Then get angry and for G-d's sake do something about it.

America's Suicidal Immigration Policy

Clearly, the official policy is suicide.

Obama has made America into one giant shahid. 

The demographics are very real and the threat is concrete.

At some point, not only "right wing" pundits will have to start having a "national conversation" about Muslim immigration to the West because it is impossible to maintain growing mass of immigrants whose primary and core beliefs are theologically completely antipathetic to democratic values, and a thriving democracy.

It will be either or.

Unfortunately, Canada's "conservatives" are not much better on this issue.

Pathetically, most Western nations are deferring to nihilistic, self-imposed shahidism.


Finally, The Contemptible Abe Foxman Is No Longer An Official Jew

But don't you worry, he's got a brand new, shiny consulting gig with the ADL. 

This man is a pathetic excuse for a Jewish "leader". He's just a squishy liberal who happened to have been born Jewish, and no, I don't care that he was rescued by his Polish nanny during the Holocaust.

He's a danger to the Jews. 

Note also how the mandate of the ADL is indistinguishable from any other liberal organization.

Strange, right?

And a $60 million dollar annual budget?!?!?!

That's a pretty hefty chunk of change.

Hope and change.

*puke*



Exactly: "Queen Elizabeth Gave A Nazi Salute and I Couldn't Care Less"

BIG WHOOP. 


Big Brother Is Real

America, you voted for this disgusting Marxistst-TWICE so you get what you vote for.
