Facebook’s windy blowjob

“Facebook announced that it’s building a massive new data center in Fort Worth, Texas, and that the facility will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy…”

Impossible. Totally impossible. As big a “blow” job as any lie our Barry Hussein ever thought of telling, about health insurance, Benghazi or Iran. As Power Line notes:

“…all Facebook is really doing is calling 200 MW of new general wind power ‘their’ power, even though it will feed into the general grid whose backbone and main stabilizer will be natural gas and coal.”

“New general wind power” totally subsidized by federal grants because it can’t compete with fossil fuels.

But can the average lefty journalist or news reader figure that out? ‘Course not. Facebook gets its “blow job” and Barry Hussein gets his alternative energy sleight-of-hand. And, as always, the taxpayer gets screwed.

Go get ’em, Ted

Our own Ted Cruz lays the blame for the ambush killing of the Texas deputy where it belongs: on our incompetent president and his one-sided racial policies and incendiary racial remarks.

The Democrat operatives of the alphabet media, meanwhile, jumped on the deputy’s boss, the Harris County sheriff, for alleged “insensitive  statements.”  The most biased among them, MSNBC, ran the ugliest picture of Ted anyone around here has ever seen.

Gov. Abbott ordered Texas flags to half-staff in honor of the white deputy, Darren Goforth, who was shot in the back 15 times, apparently by a black man who has been arrested. As near as I can tell via Google, the president has not done the same with U.S. flags, which is not a surprise. He had to be pressured to do it for the Chattanooga military recruiters who were slain by a jihadi.

On Monday, however, Mrs. Charm and I saw several lowered American flags at businesses along U.S. 290 in Harris County as we returned to Austin from Houston. Little ad-hoc decision-making there, apparently.

Nevertheless, according to CNN, President Obama made a condolence call Monday to Goforth’s widow. Obama said he told Kathleen Goforth that he would continue to “highlight the uncommon bravery that police officers show in our communities every single day. They put their lives on the line for our safety.

“Targeting police officers is completely unacceptable — an affront to civilized society.”

I don’t remember any previous highlighting of uncommon bravery, but maybe I’m having a senior moment.

UPDATE:  Everyone needs to back off. Now.

Total Regulation

That’s what our political and media elite aspire to, seen recently in putting some child lemonade stands out of business and now assembling for an attack on personal trainers who don’t toe the federal government’s rent-seeking, crony-capitalist line.

The only good thing about it is that the federal dumbasses haven’t got the personnel to enforce their total regs. The bad thing is they will do it selectively and swoop down on whomever they do have time and personnel to regulate. It could be you. Or me.

If you don’t hate Washington, D.C., by the time “total regulation” comes into being, there’s something wrong with you. Or you’re a pol, a fed or a butt-sucking journalist.

Racist nuts with a cause

Flanagan and Roof. Two racist screwballs with too much time on their hands. One black, one white. Same motive, same m.o. Same quixotic aim: start a race war.

As usual, the Democrats and their half-wit president are blaming guns. So much easier than being a real leader, eh Barry? When it would be smarter to blame the fact that the welfare state pretty much ignores the mentally crazed.

“The patently crazy,” notes blogger John Hinderaker at the link above, “roam the streets unless and until they finally explode in violent acts. This is why the largest mental hospitals in the U.S. are in prisons.”

Um, there was one other apparent difference between Vester Lee and Dylan besides their skin color. V.L. was gay. But, for all we know, Dylan was, too.

UPDATE:  Vester was a poster boy for the Left’s “microaggression” bullshit.

Our feckless federal security

“American soldiers in the Middle East have been receiving emails that sound something like this: ‘Good morning. We thought you would like to know that we are carefully watching your daughter Rosie, the one who lives in Wichita at 1234 State Street. This is to inform you that if your tank moves 100 meters north, she will not live to see the sun rise tomorrow.’”

Just one example of how foreign hackers could bring a whole new meaning to asymmetrical warfare if our federal computer security can’t get its act together.

The French train staff hid

Those three four Americans who disarmed a would-be Islamist terrorist on a French train? Somehow our snooze media missed the details recounted by Paris Match: the train staff hid while the Americans were saving their fellow passengers.

Sheltering in place, apparently, the federal advice on what to do in terrorist attacks. Fight back? Perish the thought. Now we get to find out if the Americans (one Army, one Air Force, and two civilians, despite being called Marines in some reports) will be prosecuted for a hate crime. Ya think?

UPDATE:  The French government, at least, is pleased with them. And: Fear is contagious; so is courage.

MORE:  There was also a French-American college professor in on assaulting the jidhadi. The prof was shot. Just how incompetent is the snooze media these days in tracking down the details?

Chicken Noodle News

I don’t know why anyone pays attention to CNN, not when they make it so obvious they’re in the Democrat party’s pocket. Herewith, a take-down of their latest propaganda piece on Ma Barker’s alleged “historic achievements.”

Love the snapshot of her. It’s so, uh, her.

Meanwhile, her double-standard treatment from Barry Hussein is drawing fire from previously punished feds who don’t have her, ahem, “immunity.”
