Chess pieces making their own moves

Posted on April 28, 2014 | 4 comments

It’s pathetic the way Lefties and their pet news media hammer Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas whenever he dares speak his mind in public. Not to mention Condi Rice being booted from a campus “civil rights” event.

Pity they don’t have the wit or the decency to scrutinize gasbags Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the other race hustlers whose tired propaganda the media assaults us with daily.

Thomas’s and Rice’s fates are very similar, of course, to the way the academy silences any black of any nationality who has dared stray from the Leftist plantation. What are these people so afraid of?

Coming soon: The U.S.S. Trayvon Martin

Posted on April 23, 2014 | 5 comments

Seriously, now, if you’re going to name a Navy ship after U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, whose only claim to fame (let alone heroism) was surviving a bullet to the head, it makes perfect sense: Name another one after the pugnacious punk thief and drug-dealer who was puffed as a racial victim by the lying Democrat news media and the president they helped elect and have covered for ever since.

The United States of SWAT

Posted on April 21, 2014 | 1 comment

The Democrats may be cutting the defense budget and downsizing the official military but the militarization of the rest of our big, growing and greedy federal government continues.

“Dozens of federal agencies now have Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams to further an expanding definition of their missions. It’s not controversial that the Secret Service and the Bureau of Prisons have them. But what about the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? All of these have their own SWAT units and are part of a worrying trend towards the militarization of federal agencies — not to mention local police forces.”

Get in their way at your own risk. Officer Friendly is a child’s fable. They are not armed to the teeth to help you.

Go get ’em, Ted

Posted on April 18, 2014 | Comments Off on Go get ’em, Ted

I’m behind the curve on this one. Been a busy boy lately, including trying to adjust Windows 8.1 to something I can work with without being assaulted by new buy-this, buy that b.s. with every click. But I can’t let this one pass us by:

“On the day the House Oversight Committee held Lois Lerner in contempt, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Congress should impeach Attorney General Eric Holder if he does not indict those like Lerner for their roles in the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups.”

They almost certainly won’t, and Holder won’t for sure. Holder’s as big a crook as Lerner and their boss Wormtongue. Why Holder’s been complaining of racism lately. That’s what the really bad ones always hide behind. But it’s good to see Ted holding their feet to the flames.

The wages of drought

Posted on April 15, 2014 | 3 comments

It’s a staple of some science fiction, the recycling of human urine on a spaceship to keep the crew supplied with drinking water.

Now Wichita Falls wants to go half-way: treating so-called gray-water, toilet flushes—but not the actual urine—for drinking water.

Drought is normal in Texas, but with recent population increases—all those victims of the Democrat economy looking for jobs—the wages of drought are getting serious.

UPDATE:  Lubbock and Big Spring are already building treatment plants to do the same thing.

MORE: Austin also is considering it.

Beating on a teakettle

Posted on April 14, 2014 | 2 comments

Miriam compares her grandmother’s Yiddish to “No Blood for Oil” and yelling “Racism” at anyone who criticizes Obamalot (more now than ever before).

“This is what bubbe called ‘hocking a chinek,’ which I discovered after arduous research, means, beating on a teakettle…”

I’m not sure why, but beating on a teakettle makes me think we’re all good and truly doomed. I knew we were in trouble before, but this just makes it  a whole lot worse.

Federal snipers?

Posted on April 13, 2014 | 6 comments

At the Bureau of Land Management, it seems, according to PowerLIneBlog, which employed them in the recent ranch standoff:

“The Bureau of Land Management has announced that in view of the risk of violence, it is withdrawing its forces, which include snipers, from the area. (How many federal agencies employ snipers, anyway? Too many, it is safe to say.) The county sheriff negotiated the terms of the federal government’s surrender with Cliven Bundy.”

This is interesting, too:

“It still isn’t clear what the crisis was all about. Rumor has it that Reid wants the land for a giant solar farm that would be supplied by a Chinese company and, presumably, subsidized by the federal government. Reid’s son is apparently a participant in the deal.”

When it comes to corruption these days, the Democrats have few competitors. Likewise the feds and violence. Even without knowing exactly what’s behind this story, as PLB says, it’s easy to take Bundy’s side. Hey, Barry, call off your dogs!
