No One Could Have Forseen on That Day That German Ally America Would Be Led By Man of African Descent - B.H.Obama

How about this, President I-just-can't-get-the-fuck-over-myself; it was, and always has been, inevitable that someone with your heritage was elected president, just as it's inevitable that a woman is elected president.

Just like it was inevitable that, had things been left alone, slavery was destined to collapse under its own economic weight.

Fuck-stick.

Happy Birthday, United States Marine Corps!

Born this day at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, 1775.

Fair winds, and following seas!

It is a painful subject, but has anyone at all seen anything resembling an autopsy report on the four BATmen who were killed in the opening assault? If they would tell us what exactly killed those people we would be better able to decide the critical issue of who shot first. - Jeff Cooper

How about that!

h/t Uncle - I saw this article, read it, and was able to see someone make some sense out of the weapons' claims by the media:

.... the simple fact of the matter is that Hasan’s reliance on a gun the uneducated media told him was a powerful “cop killer” quite possibly saved lives at Fort Hood.

I'm shocked, shocked that the media doesn't know what they're talking about.

ATF hits a snag

h/t Uncle - BATFE agents in the Ohio area just had their case killed:

A judge found the actions of federal agents who refused to show Zanesville residents a warrant when asked are "completely unreasonable and unjustified."

I don't think the judge went quite far enough; he should have censured the government attorney who even brought the case, and officially called the ATF out on their gross misconduct.

But I'm awake now ......

Safety first

Be careful out there!

I have little to add

Wonder how the voters in NY-23 think about the fucking liar they just elected:

Breaking campaign promises is not unusual for politicians... it's a cliche. This is almost certainly a record though. Mr. Owens broke no less than 4 promises in his first 24 hours in office.

As I've mentioned before (a couple of times) the Republican leaders in NY-23 need to resign, immediately, for foisting that turncoat, no-loyalty-having bitch Scozzafava upon the electorate.

Immediately.

[take the address information here with a grain of salt]

The media, with full aid and comfort from the administration, are endeavoring to sweep the Waco atrocity under the tug. We must not let that happen! The best treatment of the episode I have seen appears in the periodical "The New American," Vol. 9, No. 12 for 14 June, 1993. This is a magazine that I rarely see, but I suggest you go out of your way to obtain a copy.

Their address:
"The Review of the News Incorporated,"
770 West Hill Blvd, Appleton, WI54915.
Extracts:

"Make no mistake about it; Gun control laws increase the power of government and the criminal element over the average citizen, and serve no other purpose. The Branch Davidians hadn't assaulted anyone. They lived peacefully in the community. Except for the federal gun laws, they would all still be alive."
"FBI Director William Sessions asserted that `the American public expects that law enforcement will deal with those people who have broken the law.' He is right. And that explanation includes − and indeed should begin with − those federal officials who violate both the spirit and the substance of the constitution they are sworn to uphold."

- Jeff Cooper

h/t WND - thought this was another interesting Only Ones® incident:



What I thought was interesting was that the Only One was black, all the witnesses were black, the councilwoman was black, and the cameraman was ..... white.

Seems like the citizens are waking up to how badly some officers are abusing their authority.

Education is better now?

Saw this on Ace's site ...... it's an 8th grade test from 1954.

I'll admit I couldn't pass it. I seem to remember that Rush used to quote a test from the late 1800's (?) that just kicked my ass.

Down in Texas recently, we discovered the magnificent "hill country." We had heard rumors, but we had never visited before and we can attest that what is said about this marvelous region "is all true, and more and better besides." High, green, rolling and well−watered, it is uncluttered with people and thickly populated with wild game. In addition to the native Texas white tails, there are fallow deer, sikh deer, axis deer, aoudad, mouflon, black buck, and nilgai. In contrast to the usual visualization of Texas, there is so much water that it
sometimes gets in the way. The wild pigs are threatening to get the upper hand. The occasional towns are strongly Germanic in tradition and given to beer, pretzels, wurst and umpah music.

I refuse to tell people how to get there. Better they should find out for themselves. - Jeff Cooper
