Remember hearing something about that Boston University professor and her tweets

about whites?  Seems racist, ignorant and bigoted are considered qualifications at Boston U.
Ah, here's a key to understanding this crap:
...incoming Assistant Professor of Sociology and African-American Studies...
So demanding she actually deal with facts in history is probably racist.  Or something.


Can someone explain why, other than the President sniffing "I don't want to!", large masses of these bastards haven't been blown into mulch?
“And they told them first – they gave them an option. They said, ‘Will you become a Muslim? Will you convert to Islam?’

“And many of them said no,” Isaac continued. “And they told them, ‘You are going to be Muslim regardless, because we are going to sleep with you. And the moment that we do that, once we rape you, you will be Muslim.’”


Speaking of terrorists, or at least molesters and apologists,
The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security remains “deeply concerned” whether the agency charged with maintaining internal security is up to the task.
(by the way, this 'maintaining internal security' line is such horseshit it's amazing)
John Roth told the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee that the Transportation Security Administration, an arm of DHS responsible for ensuring airport safety and screening passengers before boarding, faces “significant challenges” in contracting for goods and services.


“Despite spending billions on aviation security technology, our testing of certain systems has revealed no resulting improvement,” Roth said.
 
The inspector general said his office has issued hundreds of recommendations with the intent of improving TSA’s efficiency and effectiveness to little avail.
Hey, they're busy looking the other way while their agents commit sexual assault and such, you expect them to worry about actually stopping bad guys?  Let alone worry about the kind of basic crap that can put a private company out of business?
In a report issued May 11, the inspector general’s office found that TSA has failed to provide the nation’s airports policies and procedures regarding the maintenance of its security equipment, a drawback that could carry dire consequences.
Ok, this is some of the most basic shit there is, and they haven't bothered?
The report found that the agency hasn’t, for instance, offered airports any instructions on the proper preventive maintenance of tracking and monitoring equipment. While contractors are expected to provide data, TSA fails to verify that necessary maintenance work has been performed. And the contracts with equipment providers don’t contain penalties that can be assessed for poor performance.
“Therefore, TSA cannot be assured that routine preventive maintenance is performed or that equipment is repaired and ready for operational use,” the report concluded.
Fire the idiots who didn't do their jobs, and fix the damn problem.
Oh, that's right, they're Federal Professionals, and can get away with crap like this.  And then blame Congress for 'not enough money' or something.  Or just not bother to show up:
TSA officials declined to send a representative to the committee hearing, a move that drew rebuke from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the committee chairman. The agency did, however, submit testimony to the panel outlining steps taken to assure airport security.


And for my last post this morning, Obamacare is exactly the pile of stinking crap expected:
More than a quarter of adults who bought health insurance on exchanges created under Obamacare skipped important doctor visits and medical tests because they could not afford to pay, a study published Thursday by Families USA found. Among low- and middle-income adults, the proportion of people who avoided care was even higher, at nearly one-third.
...

One reason consumers face such high out-of-pocket costs is because being forced to spend more of one’s own money is supposed to stop people from seeking unnecessary care. This policy gained momentum under the Affordable Care Act, the New York Times reported in February. As a result, even though Obamacare vastly expanded the number of people who could access and pay for health insurance plans, it didn’t necessarily ensure that those same people could afford the medical care itself.
But Obama & Co. get to preen and say "We made healthcare affordable to millions!"  Which is a flat-out lie, and ignores the millions who lost insurance they'd been promised they could keep, etc.  But that doesn't matter: "We did Something!" trumps all.

First, well, the inspector always shows up eventually




Second, when traveling you should be careful where and what you eat.  Or think you're eating.


Glockheads are heathens, following a false prophet.

Real Americans worship at the Church of John Moses Browning.
What great miracle hath Glock wrought? Ugly plastic? Doing what H&K did years earlier?
Let me tell you about John Moses Browning (peace unto him), my son.
Browning bestowed upon us more types of guns than there are models of Glock (Amen!).
Browning created gas operation guns.
Browning put forth handguns, rifles, shotguns, and machine guns.
Browning gave us the .25 ACP, the .32 ACP, the .380 ACP, the most American of cartridges, the .45 ACP, and the mighty smiter of our enemies, the .50 BMG (Get that Fu#king fifty up!).
Glock perverted the greatness of Browning and shortened the holy .45 ACP into the .45 GAP. No man, especially no American man, deliberately makes anything shorter. It is a mockery.
Browning made unto us his rock upon this Earth, the 1911, still with followers more than a century later.
Follow not the unbelievers. Heed not the basement dwellers, mall ninjas, and armchair commandos. Do not anoint thy hip with kydex and polymer. There is room for all the apostles of John Moses Browning in your safe: Colt, Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson, Remington, Ruger, Para Ordinance, Kimber, Wilson Combat, Les Baer, Ed Brown, and even once doubters like the former Teutonic heathen, Sig Sauer. Feel the gentle caress of the beaver-tail upon thine palm. Feel the weight of deeply blued steel in thine hand. Do no be tempted by high capacity, but let 8 rounds of .45 comfort thee. Wash away your tacticool sins and join us.




Stolen from J over here

Well, Syria told the Iranians, and Russians,

and everyone else that Obama has no balls.  And doesn't even seem to actually want to do anything about any muslim government or group doing horrible things.
We essentially have played the role of hazmat garbage collectors, paying out of our own pocket to get rid of all this useless stuff—hundreds of tons of it—but leaving the newer and better materials off the books and in regime hands (possibly now in Latakia province). The result is that while the effort marginally reduces the danger of Islamist crazies getting their hands on the precursors, it has absolutely zero effect on the Syrian chemical war order of battle.
...
Whether the negotiations lead to a sealed and signed deal come June or, still in my view more likely, not, their actual impact on strategic reality will be nil or close to it. The more U.S. leaders wrap their illusions in boasts about their own sagacity, the more troublemakers worldwide will start sharpening their knives. And if there is a deal and the Iranians subsequently cheat their way around the lies they told regarding verification and other issues, we will witness a replay of the past few days’ Syria news.

And most of the media will still play him and John Effing Kerry telling us ignorant peasants how brilliant these plans actually are.  Probably with that slimy little shit Stephanopoulas in the lead.





These are the slimy bastards in the Stupid Party who want illegal aliens in the military

Because replacing American citizens and legal immigrants with illegals is sensitive or something.  At least to pandering assholes like these.

A: Koskinen is either a liar, incompetent, or looking the other way

"If that case exists, then it's not following in the policy I've been advised," Koskinen testified, adding that he had "lengthy meetings with the senior leadership" of the IRS's criminal investigation division and was assured that employees were trained in and advised about the new policy.
Yet they kept doing it anyway.  Right.
B: Can you say 'extortion'?
Two months ago, the government offered McLellan 50 percent of his money back and warned him against chasing publicity, even going so far as to suggest it would rile people inside the IRS and could hurt his chances of seeing his cash again, his attorneys said.
Yeah, extortion is the right word.  Committed under color of law by thieves with federal ID.

In this instance I'm betting on either 'liar' or 'looking the other way'. 





Where Great Britain died, and 1984 is now a blueprint

The measures would give the police powers to apply to the high court for an order to limit the “harmful activities” of an extremist individual. The definition of harmful is to include a risk of public disorder, a risk of harassment, alarm or distress or creating a “threat to the functioning of democracy”.  
"A risk of harassment"? "Alarm or distress"? That could include just about anything. A "threat to the functioning of democracy"? Does that include public protests or arguing against the current leadership? The likelihood of abuse seems absolutely, astoundingly, massive. 
Likelihood?  Try certainty.
They would include a ban on broadcasting and a requirement to submit to the police in advance any proposed publication on the web and social media or in print. The bill will also contain plans for banning orders for extremist organisations which seek to undermine democracy or use hate speech in public places, but it will fall short of banning on the grounds of provoking hatred.
And from Cameron,
“For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone. It’s often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that’s helped foster a narrative of extremism and grievance.

“This government will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach. As the party of one nation, we will govern as one nation and bring our country together. That means actively promoting certain values.

Freedom of speech. Freedom of worship. Democracy. The rule of law. Equal rights regardless of race, gender or sexuality.

“We must say to our citizens: this is what defines us as a society.”
Did you hear that? That's the sound of actual free speech supporters having their collective jaws hit the floor. Here he is, saying that for too long we've been "tolerant" of free expression, and thus we have to ban it, in support of "free speech" and democracy. And he flat out admits that they no longer think "obeying the law" should keep you out of trouble. That's some incredibly Orwellian bullshit right there. 
These assholes would have George McDonald Fraser in prison for his last interview. 

I think I've lost most of my desire to visit Britain; I have no desire to spend time in East Germany brought back to life.


'Green Energy', apparently named for all the money it takes from you

However, what Friedman, Obama, and other admirers of the German green-energy strategy fail to say is that it has come at the expense of sky-high electricity rates. According to EU data, Germany’s average residential electricity rate is 29.8 cents per kilowatt hour. This is approximately double the 14.2 cents and 15.9 cents per kWh paid by residents of Germany’s neighbors Poland and France, respectively, and almost two and a half times the U.S. average of 12 cents per kWh. Germany’s industrial electricity rate of 16 cents per kWh is also much higher than France’s 9.6 cents or Poland’s 8.3 cents.
...
However, in 2011 Germany had 20 GW of capacity in nuclear power plants, producing more than twice as much electricity as wind and solar do currently, at less than half the cost, with no carbon emissions whatsoever. But, using the rather improbable threat of a Fukushima-like tsunami as a pretext, the nation’s elites decided to shut them down; 8.3 GW have already been eliminated. Thus, over the past decade, the total amount of carbon-free power that Germany has produced under its oppressive green-energy policy has actually decreased by 3 GW. The deficit, as well as all requirements for new power, has been met by burning increased amounts of lignite, which emits not only more carbon dioxide than practically any other power source, but large amounts of real pollutants as well.

And you get to the real factor:
Like an earlier regime in Germany, the Holy Roman Empire, which was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire, Germany’s green-energy program is neither green, nor an energy program. Rather, it is a form of ultra-regressive taxation — in effect, a state-sponsored cult of human sacrifice for weather control.
Now remember all Obama's whining about 'fairness', and "Under my plan electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket."









Civil rights victory

in Ohio from the 6th Circuit Court.

And this Alan Rose sounds like a nasty little clown.


Operation Baen Bulk is on for the troops.  Considering this administration and what they've done to the military, the guys out there are probably in worse need than before.


Yeah, it's hard to try to convince someone of the superiority of your position when you scream Racist! or Woman-hater! at anyone who disagrees with you.  From a leftist:
Criticism of today’s progressives tends to use words like toxic, aggressive, sanctimonious, and hypocritical. I would not choose any of those. I would choose lazy. We are lazy as political thinkers and we are lazy as culture writers and we are lazy as movement builders. We ward off criticism of our own bad work by acting like that criticism is inherently anti-feminist or anti-progressive. ...Our stock arguments are lazy stacks of cliches. We seem to want to confirm everything conservatives say about our inability to argue without calling other people racist. We can’t articulate why our vision of the future is better than the other side’s, and in fact many of us will tell you that it’s offensive to think that we have an obligation to educate others on that vision at all. ...We spend all day, every day, luxuriating in how much better we are than other people, having convinced ourselves that the work of politics is always external, never internal. We have made politics synonymous with social competition. We’re a mess.
Yes, you are.


Yeah, but what you have to remember is that Obama & Co. WANT the cost here to skyrocket; we must all be made as miserable as possible in the name of Equality and Saving Gaia.  Or something.

It's been raining again most of the day, and I've got a headache,

so this is the extent of my brilliant commentary this evening:












Journalism at HuffPo,

and a fine illustration of why I translate 'journalist' as 'sorry excuse for a reporter'.

I went to the Facebook page for this clown; his response to pretty much everything questioning this 'untraceable' crap is to post another link to the white paper.  Basically "I'm going to keep posting this link because I've been caught guilty of a horrible level of bullshit and journalism, and I have no other answer to it than "SEE!  SEE!"

So, firearms that go through the CMP, and which to buy you have to meet all their qualifications AND go through the NICS check are 'unregulated' and 'untraceable'...

And let's not forget whatever idiot at Army who wrote said crap; and I wonder why?*




*I know, following the orders of the current leadership; doesn't excuse this kind of lying.

The project has been roughly zeroed

Only 30 yards at the indoor, but it should be real close to dead-on at 50, which will save ammo for getting a final zero.

Mentioned it before after I'd fired a AR-10 in .308: I'm impressed by how the design helps tame recoil.  With this you know you've touched something off, but it's nothing awful.  If you were going to put a bunch of rounds through it you'd want some kind of recoil pad, but for a half-dozen, no problem.

Now I'm wondering, as a quick search didn't find anything that looked good: anyone know of a decent recoil pad that'll fit on a A2 stock?

Wow. Since when are racist, bigoted and arrogant ethnic classes?

She said: "There have been charges laid against me that I am racist and sexist towards white men.

"I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.

"Therefore, women of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system.”
Standard progzi bullshit: "I say I don't have power, therefore I can say and do ANYTHING and you can't call me on it!"
Yes, we can, dumbass.



Tab clearing, starting with a couple of quotes:

“You can’t make socialists out of individualists. Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society, which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.”
                                                                   John Dewey,  first honorary president of the NEA, and a major influence on school curriculums

In 1936, the NEA stated one of its reformed goals: “We stand for socializing the individual.”


Somehow I don't think the Governor cares what the major media is saying about him.


Yeah, unless I was on call- and then ONLY when I was on call- I'd tell the company to piss off, too; they don't need to know where I am when I'm not at work.


Whyever might people think Mitch McConnell is a backstabbing little asshole?  Maybe because of crap like this?


God help us when things blow up again, because the Army is screwed.


The idiocies that come from 'cultural diversity researchers'.  These idiots will get us all killed rather than someone get by with speaking a discouraging word.


So the takeaway is people either start calling the cops, right then, and demanding the TSA molester be arrested, or start treating said molester as they deserve.  Which will also involve the cops.

At this point, seeing as how they don't seem to care about law or ethics, or not being assholes, maybe a string of them getting the crap beaten out of them might get the message across.


Eight campus rape hoaxes





'Fact checking' by politics

The website carlyfiorina.org claims that Fiorina laid off 30,000 Hewlett-Packard employees and said she wished she had laid them off faster.

Despite this being a completely untrue statement, Politifact rated it as “half true” because 30,000 people were indeed laid off from HP.
...
In his ruling on the Fiorina statement, Jacobson wrote: “The claim is partially accurate, but takes some things out of context, so we rate it Half True.”

Now compare that reasoning to this one about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her foundation’s charitable spending: “The claim contains some element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, so we rate it Mostly False.”

Attention University of Minnesota Police, Katie Eichele, and any other PC-brained idiot

involved in this:
Someone who makes a false report of rape is not a 'student in crisis' or a 'victim-survivor': she's a lying bitch who tried to destroy someone, and should be prosecuted for it.

Eichele ...suggested that no one should judge the unidentified student who made the armed rape allegations police don’t believe.
Bullshit.  From a clapped-out bull. You're telling people that making a false rape accusation is not a crime, it's something they should receive sympathy for, you moron.

Of course, it's only some males' life being destroyed, so what do you care?

A: Suck it, Algore

Scientists are struggling to stage expeditions to the South Pole because Antarctica’s sea ice has been growing rapidly and hit record high levels.

The UK Guardian reports 50 scientists have gathered in Tasmania to discuss more accurate ways to predict Antarctic sea ice levels so researchers don’t get stuck in ice pack when traveling southward.
It's all the fault of Globular Warmering/Climate Change, of course.  Which led to this observation over at Book of Face:
Expeditions might be able to make it to McMurdo by having icebreakers exploit Bush's Fault lines in the ice pack.



Sen. Burr(hereafter 'the idiot') has apparently forgotten

what all turned up that the feds KNEW pre-9/11, and didn't act on.  Or share because of other idiots in the .gov.

But hey, why remind people of that when you really REALLY want to be able to spy on EVERYONE, all the time?

Sen. Burr, let me put this simply: We don't trust you, or the NSA, or the FBI.  Screw you and your demands.

Have a scope on the project,

(yes, I'll get a pic up) and I really want to hit the outdoor range to zero and test.  However, after the last few days, it's going to be at least three-four days without rain before you'd be able to get to the target line without sinking; therefore, it'll be a few days more.

Oh, crap.





Ah, Bloombergs' Everytown; "We'll only debate people who agree with us,

because everyone else either isn't credible or is trying to minimize the problem of gun violence."
Translation: "We look like idiots when someone beats us with facts, so we don't want to talk to them."


Well, that's a nice step: "No, you can't do whatever you want under the cover of a 'border search'."

Yes, the interview was bullshit, but Halperin is a good Democrat operative so he'll get away with it.

I want to see someone on Fox(nobody else would think of doing it) asking some black or hispanic politician "I'm going to follow the Halperin method of interviewing: are you authentic enough?" and going from there.


And if O'Malley announces for President, this starts popping up all over.
