one big-ass backfire on the left. So now they claim telling officers to wear cameras is racist, because something that proves the deceased bad guy is bad doesn't fit their Preferred Narrative.
Nobody should run someone over just because that person is intentionally delaying them. But at some point, delaying a person becomes detaining a person. Then the rules change. Damn right they do. And, by the way, when you lie about what happened to make the guy trying to leave an attacker, you're full of shit and people know it. And I agree with Insty, expel the bastards.
Yes, we remember Reginald Denny, and other people attacked by leftists playing victim.
And, last thing for now, a bunch of Indiana Republicans just got tossed from office, and are seriously butthurt about it. And apparently don't understand why they're gone.
Insty has a collection of stuff, which points out that disappointing and pissing off(on) the voters can get your ass kicked. And whining that "Revenge & retribution is not a Christian value.” is bullshit when you got kicked for betraying your voters.
No, I don't post as much as used to. Partly time, and partly interest, a certain amount of "Haven't I already yelled about this?" But some things are worth noting, like Texas Sen. John Cornyn is behind in the race for that taxpayer-supplied seat, and his backstabbing on the 2nd Amendment is a big reason. Good, needs to happen to a bunch of other Republicans.
Same for lukewarm support for Trump. He's the big reason a lot of good things have been done/started, but they only play along where they pretty much have to; and as soon as Trump is off the election, these asshats may well lose to a Democrat; they're pissed-off and -in a bunch of cases- insane, and will vote in pretty large numbers, and those Stupid Party clowns don't excite much of anyone. It could make the mid-term elections very bad.
The people using the current "How dare you walk about what the murderer was!" incident to attack the 2nd demonstrate once again that they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Which, for their actual supporters, doesn't matter(What was it Occasional-Cortex said about some people worrying more about being factually correct than having the right feelings?)
except trying to keep themselves in that taxpayer-supplied office.
McNutt put it bluntly: “Republicans made a fatal miscalculation. They thought gun owners would settle for temporary NFA tax relief. No, they want freedom. And without Congress acting, gun owners are left to hope a future administration doesn’t flip the NFA taxes back to $200 — or even $2,000.”
Gun owners are watching. They’re angry. And they’re making it clear: Executive action is no substitute for legislative backbone.
Which the bastards don't have.
I don't know if it counts as 'fatal' right now, but I think it may get some of them primaried next election.
It’s unclear why the provision expressly notes it should go toward areas where population growth threatens biodiversity or what type of family planning services would be provided with the funding.
The omnibus spending bill includes $575,000 “for family planning/reproductive health, including in areas where population growth threatens biodiversity or endangered species.”
In other words, in the interest of preserving bald eagles and rainforests, stop having kids.
Also curious, for the people who come up with this: Do you want the whole human race gone, or are you planning on keeping enough around to serve you?
Michael Z Williamson once wrote that the only thing more stupid than Trump lovers is Trump haters. From the way they swallow every "This is the One Thing that will get him!" pile that comes out, I'd say a lot of them have gone straight past stupid to effing insane.
A message to Romney: It must stick in your craw that you lost to an idiot like Barack Obama.
But that's the problem, you...lost...to….an…idiot…like...Barack...Obama.
Yes, defeating an incumbent President is hard but it's a lot easier in
times of economic distress (see Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, granted
he invented his own time of distress but "it's the economy stupid"
carried the day). Even with crushing levels of unemployment, anemic
growth and fear that when ObamaCare kicked in things would get even
worse...you LOST. ... As I said, I'm not a fan so you can just write this off as more hate
mail. But consider this, my urging you to stay out of the race is an
admission against interest. If you run, you'll battle with Jeb and
Christie. It will be hilarious to watch three guys who represent so much
of what I hate about the GOP rip each other to pieces. It's not just entertainment I'd be forgoing with you skipping another
run. Your participation would make it easier for a candidate I might
actually support like Rand Paul or Scott Walker to win the nomination.
With you on the sidelines it becomes more likely that Jeb Bush would win
and I'd have to either sit out 2016 or hope the Libertarian Party
nominates someone who isn't certifiably insane (and what are the odds of
that).
I do wonder; do Jeb Bush and Christie actually believe they can blow off the base of the Stupid Party and still win? Or do they not care if they actually win? Bush is... well, the progressive clown he is; Christie just told every gun owner and small-government type "Screw you". Again. Makes you wonder if they're being paid somehow to screw with the election.
“Honestly, everyone who made fun of [Clint Eastwood's] empty-chair
routine should apologize. It perfectly foreshadowed Obama’s second
term.” Insty
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell predicted the GOP establishment will destroy conservative insurgents attempting to unseat a trio incumbents in an interview with the New York Times published on Sunday.
“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” McConnell said. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”
Because crushing conservatives and libertarians is FAR more important than doing it to Democrats.
Mr. McConnell, you expressed a desire to punch tea party people in the face; come try. Be warned, I punch back, you backstabbing little corrupt bastard.
Google says "Don't be evil; and ignore the shit we do". In a letter to an Iowa senator (PDF), NASA’s associate administrator for legislative and intergovernmental affairs admits the agency was selling jet fuel at below market rates to H2-11, a company owned by the founders of Google.
While we're at it, fire the idiots at NASA involved in this.
More on the violation of law by DHS and the Maryland Staasi. And the Coast Guard is added to the list of agencies that can kiss our ass. “They tore my office apart more than any other room in my house,” she said, adding agents did not take other potentially non-TSA-related documents from the office. “I had a box full of [Department of Defense] notes,” she said. “They didn’t touch those.” Some of the files included notes that she had used to expose how the Federal Air Marshal Service had lied to Congress during the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks about the number of airline flights that the service was actually protecting against another terrorist attack.
Miserable excuses for lawmen acting as enforcers for politicians. Hope they feel real good about themselves. “Protecting confidential sources is a part of my honor and hits me at my ethical core,” said Mrs. Hudson.
“To have someone steal my source information and know it could impact
people’s careers, is disgusting, a massive overreach. This kind of
conduct is intimidation clearly aimed at silencing a vigorous press.”
And finding whistleblowers to screw, don't forget that.
“I don’t want to take off the table an option that might or might not
be on the table,” he said — a turn of phrase designed to keep open the
possibility that troops could be deployed into the country if the
situation escalates.
Yeah, let's not only blow things up in the name of helping aQ & Co.- who want to burn the forests down-, let's put troops on the ground where they can be shot at by both sides!
Added: then he waffled. Surprise!
And that clown McCain takes this debate SO seriously...
I am so damn sick of the bastard.
Yeah, we're supposed to trust who, anymore? Evidence points to a December raid of the Riverview Gun Shop in East Windsor, Conn., where Sandy Hook
Elementary School murderer Adam Lanza’s mother reportedly purchased the
Bushmaster rifle used in the massacre, as being an event staged more for media fanfare than for public safety, legal documents issued to
authorize the raid indicate.*
*Yes, I know trusting ATF is just about insane, but you know what I mean
is still hanging out with. And taking money from. Bloomberg will host a July 22 fundraiser at his upper East Side home for
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), sources said. Tickets for the event start at
$1,000.
It appears the ACLU couldn't make up its collective mind(yeah, I know, shut up); first they wanted the feds to go after Zimmerman, then enough people finally yelled about "Hey, we're supposed to be AGAINST double-jeopardy crap, remember?" that they reversed course.
And the writer takes not of one of the effects this 'Get Zimmerman' crap has on people not lost to the perpetual grievance-mongers: ...Thousands may turn out to march, but millions will close their ears
because of what they see as the unfair connection to George Zimmerman, a
man with no history of racial animus, who a jury determined was not
guilty of any crime at a trial at which no one alleged he acted out of
racial animosity, and the connection to Trayvon Martin, whom they do not
view as an innocent, but as someone who committed an unprovoked
physical assault and unfortunately lost his life because the person he
assaulted lawfully defended himself. Others who will be turned off: Those who know that stand your ground
laws had nothing to do with Zimmerman being found not guilty. He would
have been found to have acted in self defense with or without the duty
to retreat language, because the testimony and evidence at trial showed
he had no place to retreat to once attacked by Martin. A duty to retreat
presupposes a means of escape is available.
Nice to know a lot of people understand that.
How John Boehner sucks, Example #53:
“It’s not about me,” Boehner said. “It’s not about what I want. What
I’m — what I’ve committed to when I became speaker was to a more open
and fair process. And as difficult as this issue is, me taking a hard
position for or against some of these issues will make it harder for us
to get a bill.”
“If I come out and say I’m for this and I’m for that, all I’m doing is making my job harder,”
Boehner told Schieffer. “My job is to — as the leader of the House, is
to facilitate this conversation and this process that involves members
on both sides of the aisle, involves the American people and where they
can see us moving in a deliberative, step-by-step, commonsense way.”
Well, crap, I thought being Speaker meant LEADING YOUR PARTY, not 'Screw principle, I have to get a bill. No matter how bad it sucks.'
Man, those banks REALLY didn't want Mythbusters doing that show on RFID tags, did they?
Update: this in comments from Phelps: So how is that hackable? Easy. You walk around with your own
xmitter/reader. You light up every RFID around you, and read its
number. You end up with a ton of numbers (or maybe just a few.) You
find the ones that are the right format to be bank cards. You take your
own RFID tag, and program it with that number. Boom. Clone card.
It's like if you could see every credit card in someone's wallet from 20
ft away, on a glance, as you walked by them in the mall, from inside a
backpack.
About what I thought.
You know, you'd think the banks would like the idea of people knowing that they need to be careful with things; apparently not.
The (National Socialist)Democrats really do like them some history-rewriting, don't they?
"We went to the wrong address, but we BELIEVED we were at the right place, so we're good." Buffalo Police spokesperson Michael DeGeorge says Internal Affairs
has launched an investigation into the case, but that police believe
they had the proper address.
He also says detectives "don't believe the dog was chained or
leashed" when they executed the raid. Adding that if any wrong doing
is found in the investigation that officers will face consequences.
'Consequences'. Such as? Actual punishment? Any more, I doubt it. And don't trust the bastards at all.
The Obama administration’s narrative that the targeting of conservatives by the IRS was the work of “low-level” agents in Cincinnati took another serious blow Thursday when the Wall Street Journal released a new report citing viewed transcripts of interviews with those agents in which they name names of those in Washington who oversaw the action.
Effing Lindsey Graham needs to be beaten over the head with a copy of the Bill of Rights. Preferably one printed on stainless steel. What the hell is wrong with these idiots?
I'm still looking at other news. One thing first: NWS is saying that at one point, between Newcastle and Moore, this mother was 2.25 miles wide on the ground...
Some of the usual suspects are claiming Lois Lerner, the IRS clown in charge of the Exempt Organizations Division, is 'apolitical'. Nazzo fast, Guido: Since admitting the IRS harassed hundreds of conservative and Tea Party groups for over two years, Lerner has been criticized for a number of untruths—including
the revelation that she apparently lied about planting a question at
an American Bar Association conference where she first publicly
acknowledged IRS misconduct. ... The trouble with this defense is that, prior to joining the IRS,
Lerner's tenure as head of the Enforcement Office at the Federal
Election Commission (FEC) was marked by what appears to be politically
motivated harassment of conservative groups.
Anybody else as sick as I am of
A: These 'Gang of X' groups trying to make legislation in the darkness, and
B: The idiots and/or turncoats working with the enemy? A hot microphone caught Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) coordinating which way members of the “Gang of Eight” who serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee would vote on immigration bill amendments, Breitbart News has learned.
“Do our Republicans have a pass on this one if they want?” the microphone caught Schumer saying.
More whistleblowers on Benghazi: Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger
missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department,
not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the
intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk
involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger
civilian aircraft. Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of
the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”
and Regarding General Ham, military contacts of the diplomats tell them
that AFRICOM had Special Ops “assets in place that could have come to
the aid of the Benghazi consulate immediately (not in six hours).” Ham was told by the White House not to send the aid to the trapped
men, but Ham decided to disobey and did so anyway, whereupon the White
House “called his deputy and had the deputy threaten to relieve Ham of
his command.”
They note that they don't have confirmation of these things as yet; we'll see.
Confirmed dirt- more- on Fast & Furious: The former U.S. Attorney for Arizona could be disbarred, after an
investigation found he lied to the Justice Department about his role in
trying to discredit the federal whistle-blower who exposed the botched
gun-running scheme known as Fast and Furious. An Office of Inspector General report showed that Dennis Burke -- the
former chief of staff for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
appointed as U.S. Attorney for Arizona by President Obama in September
2009 -- lied when asked if he leaked sensitive documents to the press
meant to undermine the credibility of ATF whistle-blower John Dodson. The IG report also said Burke likely leaked the memo in retaliation
for Dodson's whistle-blowing, and challenged the credibility of
statements he made to congressional investigators. Dodson first went to
Congress in 2010 after his own agency and the Justice Department refused
to investigate his complaints that Operation Fast and Furious, an
anti-gun-trafficking effort, was out of control.
Fire them. And take qualified immunity away from ANY LE officer involved in crap like this: But Montanez says it was a Hays County SWAT truck that rammed his car
head-on. As they collided, another police vehicle pinned him from
behind, he says. He heard a shot.
“I saw my windshield crack, and I ducked down as low as possible,” Montanez said. “I really thought I was going to die.”
Seconds later, he says, three deputies were pointing assault rifles
at him. “That’s when I heard one of the officers say, ‘Oh, (expletive),
we got the wrong guy,’ ” Montanez said. ...Even after officers realized that he was not the suspect, he said,
they kept him in handcuffs for half an hour while they questioned him
and ran a warrant check that came up with nothing. Then they let him go.
First, when the HELL did ramming a car become the approved SWAT-Operator Car-Stopping Method?
Second, THEY FIRED SHOTS?
Third, “Due to the urgency of these warrants and the hazards to neighbors and
bystanders, tactics were employed in order to maximize safety to
community and swift apprehension of the suspect,” the report states. BY RAMMING THE CAR?
Why are the Brit authorities soft-peddling who murdered a soldier on a public street, but hammering anyone who says non-pc things on bloody facebook?
Because it's safer to screw with people who say impolite things than the actual enemy, and
because they're using the enemy for votes. And screw the future consequences.
I'm wondering, did Romney return that knife Christie stuck in his back?
This information's been out for a while, but the warmenists can't bloody stand it, so most media hasn't talked about it.
Which probably gives Obama & Co. fond thoughts(also from Tam): What do they have to gain? Hell, I don't know, their people would be
better off festooning lampposts with their bodies and surrendering. The
trouble with that theory is that the north Korean people have been so
isolated for so long; Kim Il Sung (and Kim Jong Il and Kim Jang Un) is their religion and their reason for being.
Yeah, this sounds good to me; from Insty: A reader emails: “Your post about Missouri secretly sharing CCW info
highlights a core problem with restrictions on what government can and
can’t do. As the background check proposals in Congress would at least
theoretically make it possible to create gun registration, we don’t
simply need a law prohibiting doing so; Republicans should propose an
amendment that makes creation or assistance in the creation of such a
registry a felony under federal law, with mandatory prison time and loss
of sovereign immunity. If all the Democrats want is background checks,
surely they wouldn’t object.”
Yes, there should be criminal liability, and also civil liability,
with each affected person entitled to recover minimum damages of, say,
$10,000 plus attorney’s fees and with sovereign immunity waived.
Damn straight.
That there might be downsides to a DoD more worried about being PC than about warfighting, well, why the hell would that be a surprise to anyone?
Sixteen Republicans voted in favor of the motion, while two Democrats
— both from states President Obama lost in the 2012 election, voted
against it. The two Democrats were Sens. Mark Begich (Alaska) and Mark
Pryor (Ark.), both of whom face reelection next year.
The sixteen
Republicans who voted to proceed were Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.),
Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Richard Burr (N.C.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), Tom
Coburn (Okla.), Susan Collins (Maine). Bob Corker (Tenn.), Jeff Flake
(Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Dean Heller (Nev.), John Hoeven (N.D.),
Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), John McCain (Ariz.), Pat Toomey
(Pa.) and Roger Wicker (Miss.).
Ok, Coburn, we're holding you to your words: I will not vote for any bill that limits the
gun rights of law abiding citizens. While I support a debate in the
Senate on gun related issues—including reaffirming these rights and
forcing gun-control advocates to have their votes on record and be held
accountable for their votes—I will not only support, but lead a
filibuster to prevent the passage of any bill that limits the Second
Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
So let's see you do it.
How bad is the Manchin-Toomey piece of shit? Toomey and Manchin will claim that their bill only covers “gun show
sales” and Internet sales. But if you’ve ever talked about your gun and
/or let it be known you’d like to sell or buy a gun on the Internet,
this language covers you. If you advertise your gun in the church
bulletin and the bulletin is put on the Internet, you’re covered.
The only exemption is for sales that are sold exclusively by word of
mouth. The increased number of background checks would likely exacerbate
the system breakdowns (inherent to NICS) which have shut down gun shows
over and over again. It would mean that Americans who were illegally
denied firearms because their names were similar to other people's would
effectively be barred from owning a gun. (We would never tolerate such
delays for voting rights or other freedoms that we are guaranteed.)
And for those Republicans who think they’re going to be able to offer
their useless amendments, guess what? Reid is reportedly going to use a
procedure to block out all amendments (called an “amendment tree”). And
there are plenty of Senators standing in line to make sure that the
Senate doesn’t give “unanimous consent” to let those Republicans offer
their amendments.
So if you live in a rural area, you’re effectively barred from selling
or buying a gun - or it at least becomes very, very difficult.
Incidentally, the Toomey-Manchin-Schumer “national registry” language is
full of holes. There will be a national gun registry as a result of
this sell-out.
But that’s not the worst part. Under an amendment in the bill to HIPAA
(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), you could have
your guns taken away because your private shrink thinks you’re
“dangerous” and could send your name directly to the FBI Instant Check
system.
Did you think it was terrible that 150,000 military veterans had been
added into the NICS system because they’d seen a VA shrink about their
PTSD? Well guess what? Now it’s going to happen to the rest of the
population ... by the millions!
And the next step, of course, will be to begin to sue psychiatrists that
don’t send every single patient’s name to the Instant Check system, and
to make sure that their lives are ruined if they don’t send a patient
to NICS and anything goes wrong.
The bottom line: “See a shrink; lose your guns.”
All of this will reportedly be on an amendment tree with the Feinstein gun ban and magazine bans.
And we're supposed to see this as a 'reasonable compromise'...
And just a little more on "Manchin is an asshole."
A fine pair of backstabbing, miserable little bastards, aren't they?
Y'know, I flat LOVE the idea of cops who intrude into your home without a valid warrant, or a warrant that's based on lies, being charged with trespassing; and THEN getting their personal ass sued off. And prosecutors who screw you over also being personally liable for their wrongdoing. You'd see an awful lot of cleanup of SWAT misuse/overuse, and prosecutors playing games.
The dumping on the Santorums over the baby reminds me of the other demonstrations of the empathy of the left: like writing a crappy attack on Palin using her youngest as the line of attack, like declaring that calling for a 'R' governor to be murdered is freedom of speech, etc. Of course, if you call them on it they tend to drag out the Arizona incident as if it were accepted the nut was sent by the tea party and lecture about the 'vile discourse of the right', etc. ad nauseum.
I don't really know if it's cowardice or treason(what else would you call wanting to give the enemy secret materials?), but I like the picture anyway: Anyway, it fits so much else he's done
Now THERE'S an idea for you! As an aside, I wonder if it makes you smell like bacon, too?
Yeah, this is a problem with some women. And more men nowadays, too.
Every one of the idiots/bastards pushing this garbage should be shunned. 'doubts Auschwitz was a death camp' for Deity' sake... And yes, I include Paul in that. Some radio show a couple of days ago a couple of his slightly-more rabid followers called in; Lord, what fools.
So this is why so few bees around the last couple of years? Damn flies.
As to the Mexican Gun Lie, there's some truth to it; it's just that it's not gun shows or shops that supply the firearms. From 2003-2009, over 150,000 Mexican soldiers deserted from their ranks. Drug cartels became so confident in their recruitment of military personnel that they posted help wanted ads for hit men, traffickers, and guards. When these soldiers desert, their US-supplied weapons (grenades, sniper rifles, assault weapons, etc.) often accompany them over to the cartels. In 2008 and 2009, 13,792 and 20,530 small arms were exported to Mexico from the US. Over 92% of these arms were civilian legal semi-automatic or non-automatic firearms, a number eerily similar to the debunked 90% number echoed by the ATF. A 2008 State Department memo to then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi shows a $1,000,000 shipment of select fire M4A2 assault rifles to the Mexican Federal Police Force, (AKA Federales) one of the most corrupt Mexican government agencies. ... From 2008 to 2009, when President Obama entered office, Defense Department expenditures to Mexico have increased from $12 million to $34,000,000 and State Department expenditures increased from $7.2 million to $356 million. While 2010 data is currently unavailable, it appears our foreign aid to Mexico has continued to increase for 2011. These statistics imply the State and Defense Departments may very well be the top suppliers of small arms to Mexico’s drug cartels and not civilians. Only the information obtained from ATF Firearms Traces will tell. However, those records are not public. After the DOJ and the White House knowingly pursued attempts at new gun control legislation, we are left to ask the question; is this just another case of government stupidity or is this something more premeditated?
One of the reasons I've read that we should support Romney is because 'he's a good debater, he's good with words, he can defeat Obama'. Well, Bill Clinton was very good with words, too; do we really want a RINO version of Slick Willie in the Oval Office?
And on the subject of Romney and Clinton, I think -- you know, we can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans to legitimately own handguns and rifles... Bill Clinton March 1, 1993
And we should -- then every community in the country could then start doing major weapon sweeps and then destroying the weapons, not selling them. Bill Clinton October 1, 1993 Now think of the anti-gun-ownership laws Romney was so happy to sign as Governor of PROM, and said would be so good for the rest of the country; just how much difference is there between his and Clinton's positions? I still want someone at one of these interviews to ask "You pushed for a bragged about some of the worst anti-gun-ownership laws in the country as Governor; how can we trust you not to push for the same things nationally if you're elected President?"
Speaking of DoJ and such agencies, As I reported here exclusively at PJ Media last April, the Department of Justice intervened and scuttled the planned prosecution of CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad as a follow-up to the Holy Land trial, which prompted several congressional inquiries. And as a follow-up to that article, I reported an interview with a high-ranking DOJ official who told me that FBI General Counsel Valerie Caproni continued to meet with CAIR officials despite the FBI’s official ban on contacts with the Hamas front.
This new law will also curtail relations with the administration’s favorite “outreach” partner, ISNA, which, despite being named unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land trial, was last month included in a top-level meeting with the Department of Justice where Muslim groups demanded a formal declaration by the DOJ that any criticism of Islam constituted religious and racial discrimination. ISNA’s president, Mohamed Magid, is also a regular at White House functions and has been appointed to several government positions, including advising the Department of Homeland Security.
Bleagh. Not much enthusiasm today, so I'm stopping here.
it's still a bit of a bother that various people have asked Romney, in various ways, about Romneycare, but I don't think ANYBODY has asked him flat-out "You pushed for a bragged about some of the worst anti-gun-ownership laws in the country as Governor; how can we trust you not to push for the same things nationally if you're elected President?"
