It's hot outside still, so I'm going to sit here and browse through some things

A bit more on the disgusting journalist Helen Thomas.

Women can use the men's room, but don't you DARE try to use the ladies' room; it's not FAIR!


AG Eric Holder, still full of crap. And playing the victim game.


There's a guy named Larry Richter running for office in SC, and he's apparently a first-class asshole.


The Tiananmen Square Massacre, twenty-one years ago.


Ah, but Israel is an "apartheid state", and the Palestinians are the Europeans' unending adopt-a-Third-World-pet project. I write in the new National Review (on sale now-ish) that, if old-school judenhass was a by-product of more or less traditional racism and conventional nationalism, the new judenhass advances under the cover of "anti-racism" and "multiculturalism". The oldest hatred didn't get that way without the ability to adapt.


More on the wonders of socialized medicine:
Millions of patients face losing NHS care as bosses prepare to axe treatments to make £20billion of savings by 2014, a top doctor has warned.

Among procedures being targeted by health trusts are hernias, joint replacements, ear and nose procedures, varicose veins and cataract surgery.

Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the British Medical Association’s consultants committee, warned NHS bosses wanted ‘wholesale reductions in budgets’.

He said primary care trusts – which commission care – are already compiling lists of ‘low value’ operations that would no longer be provided.

And now, I think I'll go out back and scratch dog ears.

Among the reasons Obama doesn't seem to want to stand by Israel

is all his friends who want to destroy Israel:
Former Weather Underground leaders William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, helped organize the Free Gaza Movement, which launched the six-ship flotilla from Turkey to Israel that ended in a violent clash with Israeli Defense Forces, BigGovernment.com reported.

In January, the trio were spotted in Egypt attempting to stir up crowds on the streets with 1,400 other left-wing activists after the Egyptian government refused to allow Free Gaza Movement members to enter the Gaza Strip. About 100 marchers were eventually allowed to cross the border, where they were met by former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.

Between these terrorists and traitors and Wright and Calypso Louie, we're probably lucky we haven't found Obama quietly trying to ship aid to Hamas.

Apparently British cops not only have forgotten Peel's Principles,

but they flat suck at their job.

FOLLOWING HIM? Where were their vaunted Armed Police Units? Where were all the "You don't need to protect yourself, WE will protect you" lecturers?

The average police or sheriff's department over here would have found the clown and whacked him, so why couldn't those "We're SO superior to you American lawmen" Brits do it? To borrow from Tam,
"If you are going to disarm your subjects like inmates in the maximum security wing of the loony bin, then you had best step up to the plate when something like this goes down. You refer to self-defense as "vigilantism" or "taking the law into one's own hands"? Well, if you're just going to leave it lying on the ground with the corpses, somebody needs to take it into their hands. "

One of the other sad things about this? If some British subject with a firearms certificate had grabbed his scattergun or rifle and stopped the goblin, you KNOW some dickless wonder in the government would be trying to hang him for 'taking the law into his own hands', etc. ad bullshit.

If I were in the Israeli government,

considering we've got 'journalists' like this saying things like this, and a lot of idiots- some well- meaning and some Jew-hating fools- in government agreeing with her, I think I'd
A: Next blockade runners get met with all necessary force; no more Mr. Please Stop Condemning Us No Matter What.
B: "Mr. President, we're not going to commit suicide for you just because it would make Rev. Wright and Calypso Louie happy; get used to it."
C: "Attention world: this nation will do what is has to to survive; we suggest you think long and hard about what that means if you attack us. We're tired of being marked for extinction, and we're not going."

And would somebody explain to me why that bigoted fool Thomas is still allowed to sit in those press meetings?

Added: Does this- can't really find a proper descriptive- Thomas have no freakin' idea where the Jewish people originally came from? Or doesn't it matter to this hateful bitch and those she speaks for?

Wonderful, another artsy jackass crapping on Christianity

while being a chickenshit coward on islam.
I saw a segment on Fox and Friends this morning with the gallery owner displaying this "art" and was struck at her silence when Steve Doocy asked her whether she'd display Mohammed toting a gun. Of course she wouldn't show Mohammed waving a gun. But the Virgin Mary? How edgy!
No, couldn't possibly do something like that with Mohammed, oh no!

Marilyn Artus, you're nothing more than another clown artist who'll only attack a politically-correct and safe target; screw you.

By the way, McCartney?

Shut the hell up and sing; one thing we do NOT need is crap from you on our politics.

Translation: "I will meet with you to cut down on the bad publicity,

but I still want your border open so shut up and stop causing me problems."
"The president urged Gov. Brewer to be his partner in working in a bipartisan manner on comprehensive immigration reform to implement the type of smart, sensible, and effective solutions the American people expect and deserve from their federal government," the White House said.
Bull crap. From a clapped-out bull. With scabies.

By the way, the globular warmering roundup

as of June 3.

Here in OK, there's Dr. Johnny Roy running for Congress

and I sent the other day asking what his position is on the 2nd Amendment.

No answer.

So I sent again today, we'll see if they answer, and what the answer is.

Just a quick note: if you see any Russian Vostok ammo

and want to give it a try, don't.

Worst crap I've ever shottried to shoot. More misfires than the worst ANYTHING else I've ever seen. And real sticky on ejection. Does seem fairly accurate, when you can get it to go bang.

On the misfires, you can get a round to fire(sometimes) if you rechamber it, but don't count on it.

Does anyone actually believe this will NOT be abused?

THE State Government is quietly compiling a mathematical map of almost every adult's face, sharing information that allows law enforcement to track people by CCTV.

Experts said yesterday few people realised their facial features were being recorded in an RTA database of drivers licence photos that the Government has allowed both state and federal police to access.

The federal body CrimTrac has asked NSW for its database so it can be mined nationally by police using the facial recognition information contained in it.
...
Dr Carolyn Semmler from the University of Adelaide said police wanted to eventually use facial recognition in smart CCTV cameras allowing people to be tracked anywhere there was a camera.
Lots of "If you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to worry about this" idiocy in the comments. Yeah, so I guess you won't mind if the police show up and search your house; after all, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to worry about it. Right?

From a comment Semmler left:There should be some acknowledgment of the fact that the technology may help to keep everyone safe and that police and other agencies adhere to the Privacy legislation in place to protect the individual's information stored. 'May help'. Yeah. Don't worry about lost privacy and the police tracking you, it 'may help'. And do the police always adhere to the legislation? WILL they?

Damn, what a mess.

'Cartel plotted to blow up Texas dam'

Mexican and U.S. authorities were "secretly scrambling" last month to thwart a Mexican drug cartel's plot to blow up a Texas dam that would have flooded an area with about 4 million inhabitants, according to the Houston Chronicle's Dane Schiller and James Pinkerton.

Law enforcement officials were reportedly tipped off to a plot when they found one of the handbills that the drug cartel Los Zetas was distributing on the Mexican side of the river, warning residents to clear out ahead of the explosion. Authorities found "small amounts of dynamite near the dam," the Chronicle said.
'Small amounts' isn't a real comforting thing, as we don't know what they're calling 'small'.
Police Capt. Francisco Garcia of Roma, Texas, told the Chronicle that the traffickers would have needed a tractor-trailer full of dynamite to pull off the explosion.
A: Considering everything else they can get, lots of explosives wouldn't be much of a problem, I'd think.
B: If they've got someone who knows his stuff, I doubt it would take that much; setting it properly would be tricky, but...

And if they just damaged the dam, can you imagine the storm? Got to be an Obama and illegal-alien lobby nightmare.

Let's see, they add new charges now;

gee, I wonder why?
It's not like the government has maintained unchallenged credibility in this case, starting with the lead FBI agent not being able to recall key details when called to the stand to testify, an officer of the court filing an affidavit to counter prosecutorial misrepresentation of facts, and the release of four of the nine accused on bail...Plus, why are we suddenly finding out about all this now? Here it is June, the busts happened in late March...when did the federal grand jury first get this information and why has what would appear on the surface to be relatively straightforward evidence taken this long to be deliberated?

As for "illegal" machine guns and unregistered short-barreled rifles, how do they know who to charge?
And so forth. As he says, this has all the markings of "We've already screwed up, so lets start throwing everything we can think of into this. Besides, since this now seems to involve the NFRTR,
If the US loses this case, there is some speculation on whether the BATFE will seek to appeal the decision because an appellate ruling that the NFRTR is insufficient would have disastrous consequences for the BATFE and the NFRTR. It is this author's opinion that the BATFE would likely not appeal so to protect the integrity of the NFRTR in other court proceedings.

"Other court proceedings..."

Like these?

I have a feeling we're going to see a full-blown "integrity" protection effort.

Further evidence that any bill Sen. Schumer(NSD Bastard-NY) likes

is a freakin' disaster for this country.
There is one key to the Schumer-backed DISCLOSE Act that makes it dangerous for gun owners who want to organize in any meaningful manner: disclosure of all donors/members whose money may have funded independent expenditures to the FEC.

According to The New York Times, a “reform” bill might require advocacy groups (such as NRA) “to identify all their financial donors or set up separate accounts to handle political spending and identify the donors to that account.”

Simply put: If NRA wants to use its general funds from member dues to speak out during election season, then NRA would have to give the federal government a list of every single NRA member.

The FEC donor databases are open to all, and the most user-friendly that makes looking up individuals easy and fast is the database available at OpenSecrets.org. Kopel uses the example that your boss could decide to cross-reference you to find out what you’re up to outside of work hours. At that point, you just have to hope he/she isn’t anti-gun, or you may find yourself in the unemployment line. Even if NRA maintains a separate fund for campaign expenditures, you can’t donate if you value your privacy.
The bastard and his friends just can't stand it that people have the right to oppose them without paying a penalty, so they want to create at least the threat of penalty to try to shut people up.

One of the rear turn signal stems on the Vulcan broke,

and the other one is looking like it's getting there. So I checked prices.

Bleep.

Let's just say the factory parts have not been ordered; aftermarket parts that should work quite well have. For a lot less.

Well, if you're in the market for a scattergun,

I'd say we should make sure we do NOT buy one made in Turkey.
I was somewhat taken aback that the prime minister could not bring himself to condemn a fictional blood libel. I should not have been. He and his party have traded on America and Israel hatred ever since. There can be little doubt the Turkish flotilla that challenged the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza was organized with his approval, if not encouragement. Mr. Erodogan's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, is a proponent of a philosophy which calls on Turkey to loosen Western ties to the U.S., NATO and the European Union and seek its own sphere of influence to the east. Turkey's recent deal to help Iran enrich uranium should come as no surprise.
Since the government of Turkey seems to be determined to join the islamist 'kill the unbelievers, and especially the Jews' movement, we can make sure that(preferably) none of our money goes to that nation.


Shame; the Huglu shotguns I've looked at seemed to be quite good; but damned if I'll give them my money.

Rape, biologically speaking,

is a trespass into the body of another: penetration of his anatomical boundary without his consent. We deem rape to be a heinous crime because the victim's right to the control of his own body, derived directly from his right to life, is sacrosanct. To one who concedes that sovereignty -- a nation's right to exist, independent of control by other nations -- must include the right to defend a national border, the parallel to invasion is obvious.

Inversely, a nation denied the right to defend its borders against uninvited intruders has been denied sovereignty. By the standards of the Westphalian nation-state system, it's not a nation at all. It's a No-Man's-Land, wherein the "law" is whatever the strongest force in any particular locale deems it to be.

It's a helpless victim of rape.

Just friggin' great; remember the 5th Gen fighter the PRC

couldn't have anytime soon?

Wrong.

So our JSF is behind schedule, WAY over budget, AND the geniuses decided we didn't need all those F22 aircraft because 'nobody will have anything nearly as good as these for decades!'...

My hand is messed up, so not much today

Mainly links.
In a special meeting of the Security Cabinet it was disclosed that a group of 40 people on board the Mavi Marmara with no identification papers belong to Al Qaeda. The terrorists were equipped with bullet proof vests, night-vision goggles, and weapons.
Also,
In footage captured on the Mavi Marmara, activists are seen attacking the soldiers with a stun grenade, a box of plates, and water hoses as the soldiers attempt to board the ship. the activists are also waiving around metal rods and chains later used to attack the soldiers with.


I've heard the name Tavis Smiley, didn't know what a bigoted asshat he is.


Postal match!

Two Turkish activists were reported to be among those killed in the flotilla. Ankara warned that further supply vessels will be sent to Gaza, escorted by the Turkish Navy, a development with unpredictable consequences.

I’ll make a prediction:

Most likely, the Turks will soon be told or will otherwise figure out how stupid their idea of letting their navy get used by terrorists is and forget they ever mentioned it.

Otherwise, these two options are placed on the table.

1: The Israelis will let the ships through, and then search search them. When the weapons are found, Turkey will get all red-faced and “We didn’t know about those.” and stop letting terrorists use their navy as dupes.

2: The Israeli Navy will deftly cruise between the Turks and the pirate vessel and the first Turk ship to fire upon an Israeli ship will soon see the bottom of the Med. After that, is where it actually get unpredictable.

news math: (Nazi - competence) x (PR savvy + hipster wardrobe) = Palestinian peace activist

And now family things to deal with, see you later

Generally, threatening bloggers this way is fairly dumb
