Another gun-free zone, so to speak, the Brussels airport. Especially the American Airlines part of the terminal. So busy being PC the European Union didn’t have time to secure their own.
Excellant example, as it happens, for Trump’s allegedly racist plan to reduce Muslim immigration. Sure will help him in the vote department.

UPDATE: Our Ted, previously clearly getting desperate, is now getting obnoxious. Cool your jets, Teddy.

Most presidents have treated the dictator’s club (aka the United Nations) respectfully. It looks like if Trump becomes president he won’t bother.
“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy,” he told AIPAC, the pro-Israel Jewish lobby. “It’s not a friend to freedom. It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home. And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel.”
Read the rest of his blunt, take-no-prisoners foreign policy speech here on his own web site. I wouldn’t trust the largely Democrat news media, which is already hostile to him, to report it accurately. Let alone the repeated standing ovations.
“Certainly Mr. Trump has a mouth, and he’s not afraid to use it. He also speaks to adoring crowds who cheer when he says to respond in kind to activists trying to disrupt his rallies. Even so, the over-the-top claims that Mr. Trump is the new Il Duce may be distracting attention from the soft despotism that Tocqueville deemed the far likelier menace to American liberties.
“This kind of authoritarianism doesn’t come with goose steps or brown shirts or large populist movements. It prefers bureaucracy to bombast. It presents itself as a solution to the complexities of modern government, and it’s called the administrative state.”
And the Hildabeast prefers the administrative rules of an FCC or an FBI to get the things she wants: an end to conservative radio and internet, and availability of guns to all but the elites’ bodyguards.

While the Hildabeast campaigns for ever more invasive gun laws, the Thumper, as I call Trump, is going to get himself elected with his take on the Second Amendment and a proposal for a national “right to carry” law.
“Furthermore, Trump proposed a national right to carry, a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would compel states to recognize the concealed carry permits of any other state, exactly as drivers licenses from anywhere are accepted by all states today.”
Hee. That ought to increase the number of Code Pink and Move On protesters at his future campaign appearances. Which will do him nothing but good among most voters.

Hadn’t been back to view my Amazon reviews for months. Last review was on a good cat scratcher for Senor Gato. Before that, though, it was September 14, 2015, about the time Mrs. Charms’ cancer treatments were becoming seriously ineffective.
In checking the old ones out before doing a new one of Arkwright, a new Allen Steele scifi goodie, I discover Amazon has a “safe space,” a filter to automatically hide reviews of “sensitive products”—defined as anything erotic or controversial that might mean embarrassment for a reader of the reviews.
Concern for the precious little snowflake generation, in other words, readily noticeable on any college campus near you, has now come to the world’s largest retailer. Ugh.

Our Little Barry Hussein came to town Friday, further jamming Austin’s always awful traffic, and not incidentally contributing to the carbon footprint he claims to care so much about reversing. He extolled the role of government, a curious tic of his these past seven years, as if government needed a boost to cover up its failures.
But the main thing he could find to praise was the weather bureau and its weathersats, at once the oldest and the newest of the bureaucracy’s ministries. He also lied (quell surprise!) about Obamacare’s success (not) and further pretended that it was his doing (“I passed this law”) as if he was the executive and the legislative branches rolled into one.
One thing he neglected to mention, let alone praise, however, was the federal continuation of the failed low-fat, high carb diet advice whose reliance on starch and sugar over the past half century has “presided over the greatest explosion in Type II diabetes in the history of the human species.” Next time you feel the roll of fat around your middle, and under your armpits, you’ll know who to blame besides yourself for being stupid enough to believe what the feds tell you.
“Attorney General Loretta Lynch testified Wednesday that the Justice Department has ‘discussed’ taking civil legal action against the fossil fuel industry for ‘denying’ the ‘threat of carbon emissions’ when it comes to climate change.”
Presumably meaning the coal (electricity) and oil (cars) industries. Oh, goody. More economic downturn, higher prices, lower wages. You name it.
UPDATE: The Communist News Network tells Rubio of his criticism of passing a law to change the weather: heretics to the wall!
