When scientists cry.
#Sad.
"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent more than $39
million on obese lesbians, origami condoms, texting drunks, and dozens
of other projects that could have been scrapped in favor of developing
an Ebola vaccine."
“Frankly, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research
support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that
would’ve gone through clinical trials and would have been ready,” said
NIH Director Francis Collins, blaming budget cuts for his agency’s
failure to develop a vaccine for the deadly virus."
"However, the Washington Free Beacon has uncovered $39,643,352 worth
of NIH studies within the past several years that have gone to
questionable research."
"For instance, the agency has spent $2,873,440 trying to figure out
why lesbians are obese, and $466,642 on why fat girls have a tough time
getting dates. Another $2,075,611 was spent encouraging old people to
join choirs."

America is Run By Imbeciles, Continued...
Meet the Imam John Kerry.
Imam Kerry knows MUCH BETTER than ISIS about what Islam is and isn't.
Don't you feel better now?
Full remarks here.
"ISIL does not represent Islam and Islam does not condone or honor such depravity. In fact, these actions are a reminder that ISIL is an enemy of Islam."
Is he for real?

Must, Must, Must Read Spengler: Why Europe Is Irrational About Israel (And Jews, Of Course...)
Really well said.
He says "Israel" but of course his thoughts apply to Jews as well.
"The Europeans hate Israel with the passion of derangement. Why? Well, one might argue that the Europeans always have hated Jews; they were sorry they hated Jews for a while after the Holocaust, but they have gotten over that and hate us again."
"Europe’s derangement has deeper roots. Post-nationalist Europeans, to be sure, distrust and despise all forms of nationalism. But Israeli nationalism does not offend Europe merely because it is one more kind of nationalism. From its founding, Europe has been haunted by the idea of Israel."
"The flowering of Jewish national life in Israel makes the Europeans crazy. It is not simply envy: it is a terrible reminder of the vanity of European national aspirations over the centuries, of the continent’s ultimate failure as a civilization. Just as the Europeans (most emphatically the Scandinavians) would prefer to dissolve into the post-national stew of European identity, they demand that Israel do the same. Never mind that Israel lacks the option to do so, and would be destroyed were it to try, for reasons that should be obvious to any casual consumer of news media."
"Europeans cannot live with their past. They cannot live with their present, and do not plan to have a future, for they do not bear enough children to forestall demographic ruin at the hundred-year horizon."
"With its high fertility, national spirit, religiosity and unabashed national self-assertion, Israel reminds the Europeans of everything that they are not. Much worse: it reminds them of what they once desired to become."
"The idea of Israel as well as the fact of Israel are equally intolerable to them."

Managing Ebola: "It's Not Rocket Science"
So, is a gazillion, billion dollars really the cure, or is it just a matter of good hygiene and proper disinfecting? I don't know. But here's what the head of Doctors Without Borders is saying.
"To manage Ebola is not rocket science. It's very basic infection control and very basic protection of staff," said Pederson who said clean water, chlorine and soap were enough to disinfect an affected area.

Mark Steyn Celebrates Diversity: Cites Strange, Jewish Mother From Suburban Toronto : UPDATED WITH AUDIO
Hey, I had a good morning, how about you?
Did you start off your morning listening to Mark Steyn on John Oakley's show in his Ebola Gay Hazmat Suit, in lieu of his usual Saville Row get up?
It's a good morning to listen to Steyn on the way to work and to be cited by him as well.
A Steynian Double Double!!!!
(Heh, OK just a little Canadian joke, nevermind..carry on...nothing to see here...just a regular SteynFrau morning...go back to your regularly scheduled programs and just ignore the odd Jewish mother on the Internet...)
(*waves*)
"Celebrate Conformity (continued...)"
"~Meanwhile, in Kentucky, a Lexington T-shirt company has fallen afoul of the local "human rights commission" for declining to print T-shirts for the gay pride parade that it found offensive. As part of his ruling, the "human rights" commisssar, Greg Munson, has sentenced the T-shirt refuseniks to re-education camp:

The second demand is that Hands on Originals — a company with around 30 employees — would need to participate in diversity training within the next 12 months.Or, as Laura Rosen Cohen says, "Off to Diversity Gulag": The more we celebrate diversity, the more we have to enforce it with ruthless conformity. Big Gay has won most of its battles, and could surely afford to be magnanimous in victory. But it has a totalitarian urge to hunt down the last holdouts: Nobody cares if the T-shirt guy really has a change of heart; all that's necessary is to force him to pretend to believe and to drone the mandated pabulum in public."

Most Excellent Victor Davis Hanson: The Ruins of the Middle East
Must read!
"In order to win over the Islamic street, Obama has tried almost everything to remind the Middle East that America is no longer run by a white male conservative from a Texas oil family. His multifaceted efforts have ranged from the fundamental to the ridiculous."
"The Al Arabiya interview, the Cairo Speech, the apology tour, the loud (but hypocritical) disparagement of the Bush-Cheney anti-terrorism protocols, the new euphemisms for jihadist terror, the multicultural trendy pronunciation of Talîban and Pâkistan, and references to his father’s religion and his own middle name resulted in American popularity ratings in many Middle Eastern countries lower than during the Bush administration."
"In the Middle East, the only thing worse than being unapologetically proud of past U.S. foreign policy is being obsequiously ashamed of it."

What a lovely initiative.
The way American veterans are treated by the disgraceful VA system in particular is absolutely appalling and I cannot fathom why this shabby and dishonourable treatment is tolerated by the majority of decent Americans who respect their troops.

America, I Love You, But You Are Being Governed By Imbeciles (UPDATED)
And I mean this from the bottom of my heart.
Mark Steyn has a blog post up about the American leadership and its pea brains and Big Climate.
"Do As I Say, Or the Planet Gets It".
Naturally, it's full of Steynian gems such as this:
"Last week, John Kerry gave a speech on "climate change" at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and dismissed the skeptics:
"So too is Chuck Hagel:
Of course it is a magnificent summary of the most immature, non-serious, destructive, anti-Western administration in American history.
But I also have to add into the mix another element that doesn't bode well for America and that is John Kerry's (which is Obama by extension) and their despicable obsession with the Palestinians.
When you have an American administration that is laser focused also on rewarding the Palestinians for their genocidal, Jew-hating ways and consistently punishing the Jews, it is not going to bode well for your society and culture. That's just a fact.
Under Kerry and Obama, America is fully aligned with the death cult. The first pro-genocidal administration in American history. What an illustrious first for this tag team of sinister blowhards.
Though many individual Americans remain strongly pro-Israel (and thus pro-West, and ultimately proponents of the culture of life) their voices are effectively being smothered right now by this jizyah-doling, disgusting terror and Ebola-appeasing administration.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record player, I'll say it again.
History shows us that cultures that destroy and punish their Jews go down the toilet bowl of history.
Cultures and societies that celebrate Judeo-Christian values, and indeed-Jews themselves, thrive and prosper.
Israel and the Jewish people will outlast and outlive these despicable Jew-haters, but at a very dear cost in life.
There has never before been such a significant shift in official policy against Israel in American history, and an American tide turning against the State of Israel, coinciding with the greatest fiscal and political decline in American history is no mere coincidence.
As John Hinderaker wrote in the PowerLine blog about Mark Steyn's recent appearance in Minnesota:
"Mark was as funny, as perceptive and as fact-filled as always, but in addition he struck me as more impassioned than I have ever seen him. Maybe it was my imagination, but I attribute the passion to the fact that the hour is getting late."
It's very true, and I believe the problem is compounded by the fact that American decline, and the erosion of the American republic to this degree is simply historically unprecedented.
Most of the world and indeed, a great many Americans cannot picture the end of American primacy and leadership because it hasn't happened before.
But unfortunately, there really is a first time for everything-even American decline and the collapse of the republic.
What we are seeing is what happens when there is a heartbreaking convergence of America's imbecilic, preening "leaders" and their "laser" focus on the minutia of life and the weather, coupled with an erosion of the sanctity of American borders and then topped off with a truly sinister embrace and celebration of the Palestinian/Islamic death cult.
This witches brew of the g-dless left is going to make for very, very rough times ahead for the entire Western world and it's going to get a whole lot worse before anything starts to get better.
Via Instapundit:
Some American leaders (like Ted Cruz in particular) seem to have a better idea of what's going on.
Here's Rick Perry, speaking in London.
"The hatreds of unassimilated radicals only draw further attention to anti-Semitism in general. It’s a familiar problem in a new time. In Europe it ranges as in times past from thuggish abuse to desecration to commentaries on Israel that cover crude dislike in the veneer of respectable opinion. There is a way to deal with anti-Semitism, and it’s not by smiling politely and hoping that it goes away. The full force of law, when people and property are harmed, is only the most obvious response. Just as important is what Chancellor Merkel did a few weeks ago, to her great credit, when she called this sin by its name. She has stated in confident, unmistakable terms that tolerance ends where anti-Semitism begins. It shaped Europe’s past, in ways that everyone regrets and no nation can afford to let it shape Europe’s future."
ANOTHER GROOVY UPDATE:
Rush Limbaugh seems to agree with me...

"Last week, John Kerry gave a speech on "climate change" at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and dismissed the skeptics:
What happens if they're wrong? If they're wrong - catastrophe. Life as you know it on Earth ends."John Kerry is America's Secretary of State. That's to say, he presides over a department whose abandoned diplomatic compound in Tripoli is currently a playground for Libyan jihadists, whose consular officials facilitated the entry into the United States of an Ebola-bearing Liberian, whose continued occupation of the most expensive embassy in the history of the planet is dependent on ISIS stopping its annexation of Iraq at the gates of the Green Zone ...but John Kerry is focused like a laser on climate change."
"So too is Chuck Hagel:
Drastic weather, rising seas and changing storm patterns could become "threat multipliers" for the United States, vastly complicating security challenges faced by American forces, the Pentagon said in a new report on the impact of climate change released Monday..."Chuck Hagel is America's Secretary of Defense. That's to say, he presides over a department whose desultory air strikes can't prevent ISIS taking Kobani and slaughtering thousands ...but he's focused like a laser on "developing plans" to address sea-level rise in the Hampton Roads area circa 2050."
In remarks released alongside the 20-page report, Hagel said the Pentagon is nearly done with a survey that will assess the vulnerability of its military installations to climate change. He cited the Hampton Roads region of Virginia as an example of an area that has both military bases and recurrent flooding, adding that defense officials are developing plans to address a projected sea-level rise of about 1.5 feet in the next 20 to 50 years.
Of course it is a magnificent summary of the most immature, non-serious, destructive, anti-Western administration in American history.

What he says:
"There cannot be any debate that the Islamic State is a sociopathic, genocidal, barbarous outrage to any concept of civilization, and should be physically exterminated. Some effort should be made to reorient surviving prisoners rather than simply executing them, but it is the duty and in the self-interest of all countries to apply the most ruthless and expeditious force available to eliminate this unmitigated evil."
"When dealing with a mortal enemy, you can count all those susceptible to join his ranks as enemies from the start and the more you kill, the fewer remain."
"Not even these Muslim terrorist mutants can multiply faster than modern military technology can dispose of them, and air attack, while not the whole solution, is so precise, it can severely interdict and constrain terrorist insurgencies lacking broad popular support. Whatever the unimaginable attractions of the Islamic State, it still has only about 20,000 known adherents and has run out of much of its steam already; the appeasement of such a group would be the ultimate degradation and shame of the West."
