Gaza: Rat’s nest or Singapore

Posted on July 18, 2014 | 1 comment

Look at all that ocean-front property. Look at that border with the Middle East’s most vibrant economy. The economic prospects are intriguing.

Instead? A rat’s nest of sniper positions, tunnels and knock-off rocket launchers run by bloodthirsty religious fanatics who scarf up the charity they depend on because they produce nothing anyone wants to buy.

Gaza could be a Singapore. Instead, it’s a basket case with 40 percent unemployment. And whose fault is that? Not theirs, oh no. Never theirs.

Guess whose? The Jooz.

Rockets, we need rockets

Posted on July 17, 2014 | 2 comments

Now that the latest ceasefire seems to be in effect, so Hamas can restock and reposition its snipers, don’t you know, we need to consider some places on this side of the Atlantic that could use rocketing.

But not Austin, as J.D. at Mouth of the Brazos wants. His other choices, such as D.C. and San Francisco, would be fine with me. I would add Houston, also, home of the awful Astros. And Dallas. Just because.

UPDATE:  So much for ill-timed jokes. The missile shoot-down of the Malaysian airliner over Ukraine certainly isn’t funny, though it was bound to happen sooner or later. Twenty-three Americans killed, according to some sources.

MORE:  According to the manifest released Saturday, and available at Fox, none of the passengers were Americans. The majority were Dutch.

Obamalot: more missing emails

Posted on July 15, 2014 | Comments Off on Obamalot: more missing emails

Obamalot is the scandal that keeps on growing. Now the Federal Elections Commission has “mysteriously” recycled a hard drive that just happened to contain….

“It’s a coverup. And what they’re covering up is a conspiracy to destroy political opposition, one that goes all the way to the White House. That’s the only reasonable inference from this chain of events.”

No wonder they’re busy shipping new illegals to the blue states. They’ll be expanding their voter base while the FEC is preoccupied. And while their AG Holder complains of racism to divert attention. Again.

UPDATE: Well, what do you know? Congress may finally have had enough: “Now in a bi-partisan vote, the House of Representatives has signaled that they have had enough, going on a cutting frenzy on the IRS’ enforcement budget.” Let’s cross our fingers that this is the first step to abolition.

Flying illegals northeast upsets Yankees

Posted on July 14, 2014 | 4 comments

It’s easy to be for open borders when you don’t live near one, eh? But when the feds start flying the latest crop of illegals to your northeastern town or to one near it, all of a sudden…

“This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”

Gee, guys. You folks in Boston (as in Massachusetts) who always vote Democrat are not living up to your Leftist-rules-for-everyone reputations. Everyone else, anyhow. What a surprise.

UPDATE: From National Review: “…said Lynn (Mass.) Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy. ‘But now it’s gotten to the point where the school system is overwhelmed, our health department is overwhelmed, the city’s budget is being sustainably altered in order [to] accommodate all of these admissions in the school department.'” Get ready, Judith, there’s plenty more where they came from.

No charges for murder frenzy

Posted on July 12, 2014 | 1 comment

As J.D. says over at Mouth of the Brazos, this is no surprise. The Badge Gang protects its own whenever possible and, since the Democrat media is paying almost zero attention to Miriam Carey’s murder, it’s imminently possible.

“The 34-year-old mother from Stamford, Connecticut, was shot five times, once in the head, three times in the back and once in the arm, in the confrontation with authorities in Washington. The bullets all missed her 14-month-old child, who was in the back seat of her vehicle as officers repeatedly fired at it.”

I can’t help wondering if Miriam had been white, would her murder be ignored like this? I’ve seen black victims swept under the carpet before. At least the civil lawsuit against the badge gang is proceeding, so they still haven’t completely escaped retribution for this obvious murder of an unarmed woman.

Liberty? In your dreams

Posted on July 6, 2014 | 1 comment

What is this land of the free business, anyhow? It’s not in the charter of the master snoops of the NSA who aren’t just collecting terrorist stuff but….

“They tell stories of love and heartbreak, illicit sexual liaisons, mental-health crises, political and religious conversions, financial anxieties and disappointed hopes. The daily lives of more than 10,000 account holders who were not targeted are catalogued and recorded nevertheless.”

Be careful what you write in email, bud, especially if you ever plan to run for public office as anything but a Democrat. Orwell was just a few years early.

UPDATE: Presidentialism: There’s a good reason we’re increasingly unfree and, perhaps surprisingly, it’s due to the Constitution which created an “elective monarchy.”

Super cool fireworks

Posted on July 5, 2014 | 1 comment

“Inside the Explosion,” was made by a camera-carrying drone quadcopter over some unspecified city that has a waterfront for the barges that carry the rockets and other explosives.

What’s different about the video is that the copter-and-camera hovered inside the colorful star cluster bursts and yet survived unharmed. I don’t usually post YouTube videos, but I’ll make an exception with this lovely example of individual expression of freedom. The Andrea Bocelli aria is the perfect accompaniment.

Don’t miss it. And be sure to go to YouTube and make it full screen. The FAA will have a cow.

Via Instapundit.

UPDATE: Apparently whoever owned the Bocelli recording had a cow. It’s been replaced with some forgettable techno. Pity. So turn off the sound and substitute your own.

MORE: Andre is back! Still the perfect accompaniment. Well worth a viewing, as the 10 million views as of 10/9/14 shows.
