Although it isn’t being talked about much in the news, witnesses to the horrific Umpqua Community College shooting stated that the killer was asking his victims their religion before shooting. It was been made clear that if a victim said they were Christian they were shot in the head. This extremely disturbing scenario has been ignored by Obama and others but not by the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee, Ron Ramsey.
Clearly Hillary Clinton thinks Granite Staters are stupid. She used a known Moms Demand hack to plant a gun control question at one of her ‘town halls’ recently.
Because you didn’t already think the left was filled with brain-dead pond algae, now you know.
Jagdish Shukla asked the president (of the United States) to use the threat of racketeering charges to silence scientific dissent. Two weeks later and Shukla faces a congressional investigation.
Chairman Smith: “IGES appears to be almost fully funded by taxpayer money while simultaneously participating in partisan political activity by requesting a RICO investigation of companies and organizations that disagree with the Obama administration on climate change. In fact, IGES has reportedly received $63 million from taxpayers since 2001, comprising over 98 percent of its total revenue during that time.”

A record 94,610,000 Americans were not in the American labor force last month — an increase of 579,000 from August — and the labor force participation rate reached its lowest point in 38 years, with 62.4 percent of the U.S. population either holding a job or actively seeking one. In September, according to the Labor … Read more
Of course not….Obama just declares that the guy cleaning his clock in the Middle East is “weak”. Of course, the guy who declared that he knew all of his subordinates’ jobs better than they did must be right, right? (H/T: Liberal Logic 101)
“Morning Joe” had Charles Cooke from National Review listening to Mark Halperin of Bloomberg pontificating and “talking heading” about the Umpqua Community College / Oregon shootings and then asked a simple question: what is your plan? Cooke realizes a single truth – Liberals have only two real options: Talk about getting a plan – of … Read more
We’ve railed against Political Correctness for years and how it is the hobgoblin of minor minds. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been called a racist, misogynist, homophobe, cold-hearted, uncaring…and a TEA Partier (heh!). Frankly I don’t much care and a couple of times I’ve started laughing – which drives that Progressive nuts for obvious reasons. It just doesn’t matter any more as for me (and the rest of the Groksters), we’re all set understanding that they’ve got nuttin’. But most people DO care because they just don’t understand that if they only would look past those emotional attacks, they’d be home free. Ammo Grrrll from Powerline has this observation – and what to do when attacked:
As soon as someone claims to be “offended” or worse yet, to “feel unsafe,” the discussion is automatically over. It’s really a nasty, intellectually-dishonest tactic to change the subject completely. You’re losing, so let’s not make it about the subject under discussion, but about your feelings. Since there is no “right or wrong” with feelings and everybody is entitled to as many feelings as she can generate, then the moral high ground is already ceded. And the person who disagreed with her and made her feel “unsafe” is clearly a vicious “bully.”
I read the post – totally unhinged from reality and it proves my point – the Left doesn’t care at ALL who it must tyrannize in order to “grant” freedom to “the oppressed”. Once again, we see that the Left must TOTALLY distort the common language (“…freedom from destitution…”) in order to make their point. Adding … Read more

“Barack Obama & Co. represent the very freshest and most imaginative thinking of the 1930s,” After all, all that has worked so SPLENDIDLY here in the 2010s, right? (H/T: Instapundit)
Why is Senator Ayotte leading the fight in the Senate against those who stand for life? Not since revelations about Dr. Kermit Gosnell shocked the nation has the pro-life movement had such an opportunity to expose the gruesome and barbaric practices of the abortion industry – which the recently released videos of Planned Parenthood have … Read more
I wasn’t raised in a family with firearms. I never even thought of owning a firearm until about 5 years ago when I still lived in Marxichusetts. I never even thought much about the 2nd Amendment but knew that it was there to protect our rights to own firearms.
Until I woke up.
Overheard at the Pentagon: “Right now, we are Putin’s prison bitch.” 11:26 AM – 30 Sep 2015

A perfect laconic summation of our current position. Of course, the primary target of that derision will do as he always does and sheepishly distract others from his humiliation, like he attempted to do last night, with the hope that no one notices the newly acquired awkwardness in his gait.
Of course, the distractions don’t work on all.
Don’t fall for the distraction from His Disgrace. It’s politically expedient and self serving for His Disgrace to scold and glower the public on the shooting in Oregon. If he really cared about gun violence, he would look in his own backyard. Literally. Below is a tiny sample of the murders in Chicago this last September. I encourage you to click on this link and poke around the site now and again. And note the names and places of the people. Check everyday, the list interminably grows. At last check, the 2015 the death toll was 374. The site has a list going back to 2012 which had a death total of 509, in 2013 there were 422 murders. 426 in 2014.
Tomorrow morning we start as usual at 9am EST, but live from Southern New Hampshire University and the Practical Federalism Forum.

There’s no getting away from this. Sunlight is bad. It’s bad for plants. Why? Because plants that get sunlight emit ozone. Trees are the biggest culprits. So we need to regulate sunshine as only suitable for taxpayer backed solar farms that keep the sun from getting to the plants. Got it?
@EPA So sunlight is bad, but the country should be moving exclusively towards solar power? Got it. Thanks a bunch!

Wait. EPA has had a change of heart, sort of…
Update: “The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” she wrote. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs. Chris Mercer Harper, 26 years old was the shooter.
Let’s see what stands up over the next set of hours and days.

This is the kind of headline that I normally put up as a simple BlogHeadline of the Day simply because it evokes a sense of “you have GOT to be kidding me” bordering on a WTF moment. This one, however, had a sense of rage and blood pressure rise:
CNN Report: Veterans Tried to leave Classroom to Stop Shooter, Denied By Staff
A lot of returning vets still hold themselves to the standard of not just protecting the Constitution but also others – trained to run towards the sounds of fighting and having the skills to do something once there. I saw it a couple of weeks ago when I heard a loud noise and a person in what I thought was our yard and our dogs started ferociously barking. I started to run upstairs to go fetch something; the Youngest came barreling down the stairs and immediately ran outside – a look on his face I’d not seen before. But he ran, not to the sound of gunfire, but to protect us.
Look, it will be a few days before we know all the details other than where it happened, people were killed by a 20 year old guy and there was some talk on 4chan that has come up that he warned people of what was going to do. Also we have reports that he told people to lay down and then get up and tell him what religion they believed.
That’s it. My point is that there were people,
That was the headline at Breitbart / National Security. I was at lunch when Bibi Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel spoke (after the jump) at the UN during this “terrorist” / backslapping self-congratulations over the “Iran will never get a nuke” conference. I was mesmerized over how he constructed that speech and thought that his 45 seconds of silence was an absolute condemnation of the UN on a country it created in response to the Holocaust of WWII – and in my estimation, what seems to be the road to Holocaust 2.0:
“Seventy years after the murder of 6 million Jews, Iran’s rulers promise to destroy my country, murder my people, and the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here has been absolutely nothing,” Netanyahu said. “Utter silence. Deafening silence.”
But I draw your attention to the words of President Obama over the shooting at Umpqua Community College and the unfortunate tragedy that is. Although I heartily disagree with his premises and his continued implication that we are less of a country because we won’t act like other countries.
Sidenote: yet another Progressive that thinks Europe is superior to the US; if you really think that, just GO there and leave the rest of us alone instead of continuously trying to drag us into being a socialist country where their freedoms and Rights pale in comparison to ours. I reject that “safety & security” should trump Freedom
Yet, isn’t he being two-faced as
