Why didn’t I think of this?

 

 

I just saw a commercial for “rare” and “uncirculated” $2 Bills for the special TV price of just $10 !!!

You even get your very own  “certificate of authenticity.”

Dang.

 

 

Napolitano on acid?

Janet Napolitano has made the claim that the southern border with Mexico is secure and that US  border towns are safe.  According to Napolitano, security “is better now than it ever has been.”

No kidding.  She really said that.

What a f’ing idiot.

Boots on the Ground in Libya

from onenewsnow.com

 

WCTI-TV in New Bern reports those Marines, assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) at Camp Lejuene, are “preserving the sanctity of the city [of Ajdubiyah] and the safety of the civilians within it.”

Capt. Timothy Patrick with the 26th MEU told the station: “In Libya right now they are doing exactly what we need them to do. They are doing what they are told, and right now that’s protecting Libyan people against Qadhafi forces.”

Evidently the Marines’ efforts are being successful. The commanding officer of the 26th MEU, Col. Mark Desens, says that following a second round of strikes by AV-8B Harrier jets, the Libyan dictator’s forces “are now less capable of threatening the town than before.”

According to the report, the 2,200 Marines with the 26th MEU are nearing the end of their deployment in the Mediterranean area and are due to be replaced with Marines from the 22nd MEU out of Camp Lejeune. A March 7 notice from the commanding officer of the 22nd MEU says that unit was being deployed to the Mediterranean Sea earlier than previously planned.

Guest post: “Clarity and concerns are not bigotry”

The following essay has been submitted as a comment twice before on our pages, and both times the Spam Filter caught it.  It is well-documented, and deserves better treatment than dying a slow death in spam purgatory…..

10 Highlighted problems with mainstream Islam

1) DEHUMANIZATION

Apes and pigs, the dehumanization of non-Muslims, Christians as pigs and Jews as apes.[1][2][3][4][5] (Or as some Islamic cleric of the ‘Bali bombing’ called non-Muslims: “worms, snakes and maggots.”[6][7]

2) TERRORISM

Had the mainstream Islam really eject its radicals, the Jihadists wouldn’t have the motivation to go on, Why else is there Islamic terrorism still active in so many parts of the world? Take for example the half-way condemnation, and almost always accompanied by a “but”, but the west does this or that argument is still on – after 9 Years from the 9/11 Islamic massacre in 2001.[8][9]

3) SHARIA: OPPRESSION AND ANNIHILATING THE INFIDEL

The campaign, hidden or open for implementation for Sharia law. In Sharia, besides the legal basis for the war against the infidel,[10] women are subjugated, which explains how top Islamic cleric of Australia called non-Muslim women plain “meat.”[11]

4) HONOR KILLING

One of the great imports from the Islamic culture.[12][13]

5) JIHAD & INTIMIDATIONS BY “MODERATES”

The so called moderate Muslim leaders that the best they can do is intimidate the west to give in to their Islamic expansion, or else… the radicals will be unleashed.[14][15] The hidden Jihad.

6) SELF-MADE VICTIMHODD

The wide sympathy and support in mainstream Islam to the Palestinian,[16][17][18][19][20] Hezbollah,[21] Taliban,[22] Al Qeada in Iraq tactics of using civilians (indirect murder of their own people) so that the west looks bad. (All of the above casualties are seen by mainstream Islam as nothing else but the ‘victims of the west’).

7) ISLAMIC APARTHEID / BIGOTRY

With all the ‘criticism” of the west, the Islamic world is still practicing Apartheid (in the real sense), religious and gender wise.[23][24][25][26] In the intolerant Muslim world all non-Muslims are either at an inferior status or worse. The Christian minority has dwindled in Lebanon[27] and among the Jordanian / Palestinian Arabs[28][29][30][31][32] while Muslim population have increased, so is their persecution. Islamic bigotry’s also at the roots of conflicts, including in the Sudan[33][34] and in Israel/Palestine[35] (in the intolerant Arab – Islamic world.[36][37] against the “other”[38])

8 ) WORLD DOMINATION – GOAL

The open or silent goal by Jihadists, yet backed by so many in mainstream Islam, towards a Caliphate – a theocratic Islamic dictatorship based on the Sharia (religious Islamic law).[39][40][41][42][43][44]

9) A TOTALITARIAN WORLD

The Arab-Islamic world is totalitarian[45][46][47][48] – oppressive, even Lebanon that is supposedly the real democracy in that world, the terror Islamic group Hezbollah has immense power. (Iraq is yet to be seen). Minorities are in even worse shape.

10) MOST CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE GLOBE ARE BY MUSLIMS

Draw a map and point to the conflicts,[49] then try to detach most of it from Muslims. Here’s a partial list: Russia, Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria, Lebanon, Israel, Iraq, Turkey [Kurdistan, Cypress], Yemen – Saudi Arabia [border], Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Kashmir, Thailand, Philippines, China.

The battle to stabilize Japanese nukes

From WNN:

Over the last several hours evacuation orders for local residents have been incrementally increased and now cover people living within ten kilometres of the power plant.

Without enough power for cooling systems, decay heat from the reactor cores of units 1, 2 and 3 has gradually reduced coolant water levels through evaporation. The consequent increase in pressure in the coolant circuit can be managed via pressure release valves. However, this leads to an increase in pressure within the reactor building containment. Tepco has said that the pressure within the containment of Fukushima Daiichi 1 has reached around 840 kPa, compared to reference levels of 400 kPa.

The company has decided to manage this “for those units that cannot confirm certain levels of water injection” by means of a controlled release of air and water vapour to the atmosphere. Because this water has been through the reactor core, this would inevitably mean a certain release of radiation. The International Atomic Energy Agency said this would be filtered to retain radiation within the containment.

However, the company’s monitoring of Fukushima Daiichi 1 has separately shown an increase in radiation levels detected emerging from the plant via routes such as the exhaust stack and the discharge canal.

The NEW Union Label

“Fleebaggers” Get Back To Where You Once Belonged

Collective bargaining is dead in Wisconsin, thanks to a strategy first discussed by Prof. Lindgren at Volokh Conspiracy.

The Wisconsin Senate did exactly what Lindgren proposed.

Wisconsin Senate GOP Votes to Strip State Workers of Collective Bargaining Rights.

The Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that spend money. But Republicans on Wednesday split from the legislation the proposal to curtail union rights, and a special conference committee of state lawmakers approved that bill a short time later.

Done and done.

Now the union bosses, their thugs and all the smelly hippies can go cry in their beers, for all I care. The message to the public unions is clear, their ripping off the public without end is over.

For some reason a song comes to mind.

Sudden jihad syndrome

The case for sudden jihad syndrome was made again.  This time in Germany, 21 year old Arid Uka.

 

But last Wednesday, that vision of normal life vanished. German security officials say Mr. Uka perpetrated the first terrorist attack on German soil since Sept. 11, 2001, killing two American airmen and wounding two other men in anger at the U.S. deployment in Afghanistan. One of the dead, as well as the two injured, were members of a security team en route to Afghanistan, according to the U.S. Air Force. The other man killed was stationed at Ramstein Air Base and was the driver of the bus.

 

Naturally, the NYT looks for a reason to Blame America First for the jihadi attack …

According to the prosecutor in the case, Mr. Uka told investigators that he had acted alone and that he had decided to carry out the attack after seeing a video on YouTube that apparently showed American soldiers raping a girl in Afghanistan. There is indeed a video that was posted recently on several jihadist forums and is still available that shows men in U.S. uniforms appearing to rape a young woman.

 

 

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Isaiah 43:1
