Preventing Parenthood Paid Protestors Who Threw Condoms at Carly

Gotta keep those Democrats running the government, you know.

Ninety-four years later: The fifty

“The first finished version of this machine gun – the Browning M2 – was completed in 1921 and intended at the time to be used against tanks and aircraft. However, the gun would turn out to be a phenomenally rugged, reliable, and effective gun in a multitude of roles. It remains in American military use today virtually unchanged, and also with many other nations worldwide.”

My old MAT (Mobile Advisory Team) in Vietnam in 1969 had one mounted in the back of a jeep. Worked fine so long as you didn’t squeeze off too many long bursts at a time through its 45-inch barrel. Then the vibrations would snap the welds on the plate holding its pedestal mount to the jeep. Not to mention shattering your eardrums.

Can’t imagine its tripod-mounted ground role. In WW2 they’d mount two or three of them inside the wings of fighter planes to fight other planes or strafe troops on the ground. I expect it to be around for another century. Awesome.

Pol drinks from Pope’s used water glass

The irreligious will find it “kinda weird” as Insty headlines what has turned into a commenter marathon on supernatural religion. And I suppose it is, up to a point.

But Catholics aren’t the only ones who do this. Jews, too, venerate the objects touched/used by famous rabbis, pilgrimage to their graves and pray there. Including the Kotel (the western wall of the Temple Mount) where the old joke is that prayer is a local call.

A joke that’s passing on now that fewer understand what a “local call” is.

Baby Chop Shop Stays In Business

No matter how vile its practices, Preventing Parenthood (more accurately known as the Baby Chop Shop) will stay in business thanks to the usual Democrats and their cowardly Republican allies. There really is no difference between the political parties as presently constituted and no point in voting for either one.

They are, as a famous Republican conservative, once called them: Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. For those who have read their Alice In Wonderland. Or, at least, seen the cartoon. Unless, of course, you really do like the political status quo. No wonder outsiders Trump, Carson and Carly are so popular with potential voters.

Was the Ahmed event staged?

Pix of the Irving teenager’s purloined clock (not the invention he claimed it was but a dismantled and rebuilt antique digital) somehow got to the White House before they were publicly available.

According to Irving Mayor Beth van Duyne. Makes you wonder if the whole thing was staged by our Barry Hussein and Ahmed’s “activist” father. Wouldn’t put it past them. Certainly not the Hildabeast. Inquiring minds want to know.

Ahmed’s “clock” looks a lot like a bomb

Moreover, despite his multiple, continuous claims, he didn’t invent it at all. He took apart an existing, antique digital clock and rebuilt it in a pencil case that looks a lot like a miniature Hollywood movie bomb suitcase. As explained here.

So the Irving, Texas, high schooler’s arrest was easily explainable without resorting to the usual Islamophobic, racist b.s. Not to mention his father’s probable hand in the whole thing—daddy being a Sharia law “activist.” Plus, according to Mark Steyn, “a perennial Sudanese presidential candidate whose brother runs a trucking company amusingly called Twin Towers Transportation.” Subtle.

Ever hear of an “activist” who didn’t like publicity? Ahmed got plenty of it, once the Democrat snooze media’s weekly outrage bus got gassed up and rolling—plus a nice note from the Hildabeast (who else) a White House invite from our own Barry Hussein (he of the Muslim father and middle name), a new Surface tablet and an Xbox from Microsoft. Plus daddy is planning to sue. Of course he is. Not bad for a little time in handcuffs, eh Ahmed?

Meanwhile, a white kid in Dallas got suspended for wearing an American flag tee-shirt under his hoodie. Under it, mind you. His suspension was later canceled but the kid and his mother are still waiting for the outrage bus and his White House invite to arrive.

UPDATE:  How Ahmed made Barry his dupe. Not to mention the Hildabeast, Microsoft, etc. Meanwhile the mayor of Irving notes that Barry made his invite and praise of the clock “maker” before pix of the device were publicly available. Makes you wonder if he and Ahmed’s “activist” father were in cahoots from the beginning. Staged the whole thing, as it were. Wouldn’t put it past Barry. Certainly not the Hildabeast.

Barry Hussein: abortion ghoul

“It’s not surprising that a pro-abortion president would veto any legislation to defund Planned Parenthood. But you have to wonder what kind of ghoul would oppose the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which is designed to protect already-born infants.

“The bill, sponsored by pro-life Congressman Trent Franks [an Arizona Republican], ‘would make failure to provide standard medical care to children born alive during an abortion a federal crime. It would also apply stronger penalties in cases where an overt act is taken to kill the abortion survivor.’”

This is right in keeping with his time in the Illinois legislature when, though usually taking no position on anything and merely voting “present,” he voted against any restriction on abortion, including banning late-term ones.

Our Barry Hussein knows it’s those post-21 weeks abortions that provide the most mature organs for the baby chop shop. He’s not only going to save the abortion mill for poor (mainly black) women who (supposedly) can’t afford contraception (or can’t be bothered to use it), he’s going to keep the baby chop shop, ahem, alive and well.

At least the RINOs, knowing they’d probably lose, had the guts to try.
