What's a few dead cops...

    Sheriff Clarke eats pretend neutral Don Lemon over
    "Black Lives Matter". "A hateful ideology." At the end,
    Lemon tries to rehabilitate himself using patronizing
    psychopablum he learned somewhere in a desperate
    last-ditch attempt to discredit Clarke as irrational:
    "I understand you're angry". What a puerile asshole.

    "The president has been lying."

BOOK -- Don Surber's Trump the Press ...when Obama, Soros, and the press need to gin up the excitement, the race-baiting, and the protesting, in order to get the carloads and busloads of blacks out to vote for ... yawn ... Hillary this election.

The research indicates that there is no evidence of racial bias in police shootings. "When it comes to police using lethal force on suspects, there is no racial bias whatsoever. In fact, the numbers show that white suspects are more likely to be shot than blacks." Cops also are not generally "racist". Many of them are themselves minorities.

Thomas Sowell comments on Heather MacDonald's book "Are Cops Racist?" Read it. The facts "devastate many a fashionable notion in the media, in politics and in academia."

The arrogance of differentiating between "moderate" and "radical" (or "extremist") Muslims -- a must-read article by Raymond Ibrahim

Moderate Muslims are Made in Our Image. Excerpts:

Front Page Mag [T]he much cherished "moderate/radical" Muslim dichotomy is... entirely based on Western assumptions that have nothing to do with the realities of Islam... what the West and its followers call "moderate Islam" and "moderate Muslims" is simply a slur against Islam and Muslims, a distortion of Islam...

[T]he Muslim has his own unique and ancient worldview and set of principles -- which in turn prompt behavior that is deemed "radical" by Western standards (falsely assumed "universal" standards)... This view, which arrogantly brushes aside Islam's role in the Muslim's life, doesn't seem ethnocentric because the "us" is not believed to be particular (Western or Christian) but universal... PDF

Hillary Clinton is a Liar. But we knew that.

She is a bribe-taking pig who never has done anything for anyone but herself. Not to mention the global messes she made while traipsing around at taxpayer expense working on pay-for-play deal-making.

Comey of course did the only thing he was able to do, once it was clear that Obama was in cahoots with the private server that Clinton set up to hide this corruption. Do we really need to know any more?

The Clinton-Lynch airport tarmac meeting -- let's get real.

No way was this "spontaneous" or even "semi-spontaneous". It was a planned meeting designed to happen in secrecy -- somewhere that ordinarily nobody would have noticed -- two planes out on a tarmac in Arizona. Bill Clinton doesn't fly around by himself to 110-degree desert heat to play golf. Moreover, the FBI, not the Secret Service, but the FBI -- under ONLY Lynch's control, not Bill's -- apparently had the orders in their pocket from "someone" right from the gitgo to order any people around (too bad it accidentally included one reporter, not merely airport lackeys) that no pictures may be taken, no cell phones taken out. Aside from being unconstitutional, it's an odd sort of order to have been made for a spontaneous "social" meeting. Moreover, Lynch already has demonstrated enough by prior actions and inactions in the service of Obama to show that the media's continued touting of her "integrity" is quite strange.

Regardless of who instigated or engineered the meeting, it was planned, and Lynch was not taken by surprise. Some other crap she's been "on board" with:

Homegrown Extremism?

Westminster Institute -- 
The Political Warfare Campaign Against U.S. Counter-Terrorism Experts UPDATE 06/15/16: Islamic Terrorism Is Not Domestic Terrorism.

Enough of this already. Quoting Daniel Greenfield today:

"What exactly is homegrown about Islam? Nothing. Despite Obama's claims, there is nothing American about Islam.
There never has been. Islamic terrorism is, and will always remain, a foreign phenomenon."
[Barbary pirates, anyone?]

The FBI must start profiling again in these national security (not mere "criminal") investigations. Enough with the political correctness. The Westminster Institute published a must-read article a few years ago: The Political Warfare Campaign Against U.S. Counter-Terrorism Experts that explains how the Obama administration eviscerated our agents' ability to track these people.

For godssake, mothers going through a divorce are placed under more scrutiny than these sickfuck ideologue pieces of filth. And let's stop with the headscratching over the "radicalization" of the "U.S. citizen children" of ideologue immigrants. Taqiyya. Children obtain and then internalize beliefs and attitudes from their parents and immediate community. This isn't about "religion". This is about political Islam, a despicable and delusional worldview that must be recognized as such. Islam doesn't get off the hook by claiming to be a "religion". A belief system does not mandate the waging of war for the control of land, or the imposition by force of laws and rules upon other people. Only beliefs, harmless assembly, prayer, rituals, traditions and the like are protected by the First Amendment. Not actively subversive anti-U.S. politics. And certainly not murder.

It's long past time we started charging every person who knew what was going on in these terrorism cases and failed to speak up. Or who should have known: if criminal charges -- preferably treason -- can't stick, then at a minimum civil charges should include forfeiture of all assets to help fund investigations (same as we do in drug cases) as well as deportation when possible.

And Obama, you specious prevaricator: criticizing "Islam" and Islamic jihad is not criticizing "a religion", nor is it criticizing "all Muslims" (a choice by the way, not an immutable characteristic). It is criticism of a dangerous political ideology. Like Naziism. (When we went to war with Germany were we hating on "all Germans"?)

This (by both Obama and Clinton, coordinating) is obfuscating: "This was an act of terror. This was also an act of hate." No -- these are jihadists who think they are furthering a holy war.

The slaughter in Orlando was not an "attack on gays" any more than it specifically was an "attack on Hispanics", or an "attack on nightclubbers", or an "attack on Floridians". It was an attack on Americans.
The jihadist pig himself was AC/DC. He cased other potential venues such as DisneyWorld. Yes political Islam hates homosexuality (although it's widespread in many of these cultures, see, e.g. Boys of the Taliban.) Fundamental Islam has many "hates" -- Jews, Christians, Hindus, free speech, liberty, women's sexuality, etc. It's a hate group. The Pulse nightclub was opportunistic.

NYTimes, NPR, Venezuela, and socialism -- the blinders of bias

John Hinderaker at the Powerline blog nailed it yesterday in a commentary on the clueless and biased NPR and New York Times bit about Venezuela. Venezuela is in the throes of a massive economic disaster, threatening unrest and widespread starvation, notwithstanding that it is one of the most oil- and other resource-rich countries in the world, and has a climate able to grow anything.

The cause of this mess was, at the source, ignorant voters enchanted by promises of free and cheap stuff and "social justice", in other words, the democratically-elected Hugo Chavez and his successor and their socialist policies. Excerpts from Hinderaker's article, NPR + NYT: A Recipe for Cluelessness, which is worth a read, along with the spinmeistering NPR interview (which I will not link to here):

What happens when a National Public Radio host interviews a New York Times reporter on the subject of Venezuela's economic collapse? You get a perfect storm of cluelessness...

Perhaps Mr. Casey is unaware that Chavez's daughter is worth over $4 billion, while his treasury minister squirreled away over $11 billion in Swiss bank accounts. This is not "normal" corruption, even by Latin American standards. That is how socialism always works: a few who are politically connected get rich, and everyone else slides downhill into poverty...

Venezuela didn't reap large amounts of foreign currency when oil prices were high because it was socialist, it was because Venezuela has extraordinary reserves of cheap oil. Oil prices didn't decline to zero, and, as noted above, all of the world's other oil-producing countries still have food, electricity, medicines and toilet paper. Only Venezuela has plummeted into absolute deprivation. This is because it has a socialist government...

When a once-rich country descends into abject poverty, the cause is not bad luck, it is socialism. Socialism is, always and everywhere, an economic and human rights disaster. The fact that most members of the Democratic Party do not understand this means that the United States could be in for hard times.

The Meaning of Memorial Day

Excerpt from "The Meaning of Memorial Day", by Bruce Walker:
    In this presidential election year, it is high time to recall and to restate what our national policies should be toward those who have given their lives and their limbs for our liberty...

    First, spend whatever it takes for us to win wars and battles, and always spend more treasure for defense than blood... Provide the best equipment and the best training possible. Make sure each man who risks his life in combat for us has the same hardware that we would want if that man were our father or brother or son.

    Second, never let crass politics or chic social engineering endanger our men in military actions or operations. This means not just that we do not send in forces or conduct
    drone strikes just to make our hapless president look less incompetent; it also means an end to such grotesqueries as politically demanding that women be allowed in combat, knowing that this creates battlefield hazards and lowers combat efficiency.

    Third, it means that our goals in military actions deserve to
    be clearly defined by the political leaders who put our men in harm's way... Congress ought to be fully informed and consulted, and... the constitutional power of Congress -- and Congress alone -- to declare war ought to be respected...

    Fourth, our goal any time we fight must always be to win.
    The defeat of those who threaten us and threaten our liberty must always be the ultimate purpose of any military action... victory, not meandering from place to place looking at public
    opinion polls or the popularity of our leaders with other nations...

    [T]hey also deserve from us the best leadership that we can give them. That ought to be high on the minds of voters in November.

That "leadership" is not Hillary Clinton. Even MSNBC is appalled now. (See video.)

And where is Obama himself this Memorial Weekend? Coming off of his suckup tour of Communist Viet Nam. Daniel Greenfield has a few words to say about that in "Obama and Ho Chi Minh: Embracing Evil". (Defending Communist terror and demeaning American sacrifices.)

UPDATE: More from Greenfield on Memorial Day: Dishonoring Veterans, Honoring Terrorists.

All immigrants are not equal.

LT2 Alix Schoelcher Idrache is a 2016 top grad 
from Haiti earned his citizenship, and served two years as an
enlisted soldier with the Maryland Army National Guard. He's now 
heading to Army aviation training Ft. Rucker, Alabama. West Point Class of 2016 LT2 Alix Schoelcher Idrache earned his citizenship, served two years as an enlisted soldier with the Maryland Army National Guard, and just graduated near the top of his class from the United States Military Academy. Exemplary!

Unfortunately, his photo at graduation caught the attention of WaPo and other lib-agenda'd media in part for the wrong reasons -- pandering made obvious by the denigrating inclusion of ignoramita such as that Idrache "worked his way through" USMA. (All attendees "work their way through" in the full-time W2 employ of the Army, and no where else.)

LT Idrache now goes to Fort Rucker, Alabama, for Army aviation training. Thank you and best wishes, LT, and to all of the grads.

The Muslim World has a Permanent Refugee Crisis

Daniel Greenfield has written another brilliant must-read article at FrontPageMag.com. Some excerpts:

    It's never going to stop unless we shut the door. ...Even without the Sunnis and Shiites competing to give each other machete haircuts every sunny morning, there would still be a permanent Muslim refugee crisis. The vast majority of civil wars over the last ten years have taken place in Muslim countries. Muslim countries are also some of the poorest in the world. And Muslim countries also have high birth rates. Combine violence and poverty with a population boom and you get a permanent migration crisis...

    The Muslim world is expanding unsustainably. In the Middle East and Asia, Muslims tend to underperform their non-Muslim neighbors both educationally and economically. Oil is the only asset that gave Muslims any advantage and in the age of fracking, its value is a lot shakier than it used to be. The Muslim world had lost its old role as the intermediary between Asia and the West. And it has no economic function in the new world except to blackmail it by spreading violence and instability.

    Muslim countries with lower literacy rates, especially for women, are never going to be economic winners at any trade that doesn't come gushing out of the ground. Nor will unstable dictatorships ever be able to provide social mobility or access to the good life. At best they'll hand out subsidies for bread.

    The Muslim world has no prospects for getting any better. There are only two solutions; war or migration. Either you fight and take what you want at home. Or you go abroad and take what you want there.

It's Armed Forces Day.
Do you know where your children are?

Former Obama Defense Secretary Bob Gates accused the White House of engaging in political "backflips" to avoid describing U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria as engaged in a combat mission...

"American troops are in action, they are being killed, they are in combat. And these semantic backflips to avoid using the term combat is a disservice to those who are out there putting their lives on the line." More.

Stand Up for Free Speech

FIRE - Foundation for Individual Rights in Education "America's colleges and universities are, in theory, indispensable institutions in the development of critical minds and the furthering of individual rights, honest inquiry, and the core values of liberty, legal equality, and dignity. Instead, they often are the enemies of those qualities and pursuits, denying students and faculty their voices, their fundamental rights, and even their individual humanity.

"The university setting is where students are most subject to the assignment of group identity, to indoctrination of radical political orthodoxies, to legal inequality, to intrusion into private conscience, and to assaults upon the moral reality of individual rights and responsibilities...

"FIRE effectively and decisively defends American liberties on behalf of thousands of students and faculty on our nation's campuses. In case after case, FIRE brings about favorable resolutions for these individuals who continue to be challenged by those willing to deny fundamental rights and liberties within our institutions of higher education..."

"Unify the party"?

The sign of someone who knows what he is talking about is the ability to convey it to almost anyone, and in the fewest words possible. House Speaker Paul Ryan, controlled by Chamber of Commerce donor lobbyists, authored bad trade deals and supported the Omnibus spending bill. Now he says that he is "not ready" to support Trump unless Trump first "unifies the party". What's that mean?
"I am not ready to support Speaker Ryan's agenda. Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people. They have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time politicians put them first!"

Of course, the media "pundits", whether liberal or Republican establishment, dishonestly want you to think that this extortion really is about nonsense they have ginned up, such as "insulting tweets" or imagined bigotry or vulgarity or Trump being big government, or some kind of "ideological divide". Examples: Rick Klein, ABC. Greg Sargent, WaPo. Eric Bradner, CNN. NYTimes. Reena Flores, CBS. Philip Rucker, Paul Kane, Robert Costa, WaPo. Dana Milbank, WaPo. Etc.

Now we will see which politicians -- and media -- are most bought and sold on K Street.
Little Eddie Munster has just made a big mistake.
