Once the Democrat news media gets hold of a narrative, they will not only never let it go, they will tend to err in favor of it. However stupid it makes them look. And, of course, seldom, if ever, apologize afterwards.
Et tu, George Zimmerman? Slayer in self-defense of thug-and-drug-boy Trayvon. The son our Barry Hussein would have had if he’d had a son? Which makes a whole lot more sense now that we know ol’ Bare the law-breaker so much better.

Considering the broadly understood (one recent book) corruption of our political class, when you see one of them taken down by the “justice” department and its lapdog Fart, Barf & Itch, you know there’s some other motive.
“Menendez has been one of the top Democratic critics in Congress of the Obama administration’s negotiations and forthcoming deal with Iran over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions. Earlier this year, the New Jersey Democrat said the White House’s talking points on the Iran deal were ‘straight out of Tehran.’”
As much as they’d have liked to, they couldn’t arrest Bibi for opposing the Worm’s Iran sellout. So they did the next best thing. Attacked a Democrat who did.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, 47 Republican senators send a warning letter to Tehran… And Joey Hairplugs shakes his fist at them.

Google backed off from its recent push to de-nudify Blogger. It still requires an “adult” label on blogs there that post nude pictures. I’m not sure if that means partially-nude Rule 5 cheesecake, but we’re talking about a machine’s rankings here, after all.
Now Google’s machine is hunting for “truth” (read political correctness) and will be basing site rankings not on popularity as it does now but on a database they call the “Knowledge Vault.” Probably already FCC-approved.
The Vault likes Wikipedia, with which I mostly concur. No encyclopedia was ever completely without bias. But the Vault also likes government sites, with which no unpoliticized person could possibly agree. Not after years of the feds, for instance, pushing carbs and sugar into an obesity and diabetes epidemic.
So, henceforth, any federally-unapproved criticism of global warming or illegal immigration…
Nice little page ranking you have there, comrade. Be a shame to lose it.

UPDATE: Here’s a good example of why those government websites can’t be trusted to be truthful.

Barry, ever intent on turning the country into a banana republic without the bananas, couldn’t get his own party to ban the semi-auto AR-15 rifle, the most popular hunting and target-shooting rifle in America. So he’s going to try to executive order some of its ammo out of sales.
Which apparently is mainly intended to affect these semi-auto AR-15 pistols, though their effectiveness as weapons would seem to be restricted by their size. They’re too big and bulky to be of much use for anything except target shooting. ‘Course if open-carry becomes common (not) toting one on a strap over your shoulder could scare the hell out of the unarmed. The NRA, the GOA, and many pols, meanwhile, will be fighting the attempted 5.56 ammo ban. Even the police are opposed to it, saying the weapon is no threat to them. Too hard to hide.
The attempted ban is hard to understand considering there are other types of AR-15 ammo such as the .223. Unless it’s just one more brick in the Progressive wall aimed at eventual gun control: “It will, for example, inhibit the development and use of rifle ammunition containing non-lead materials, even as efforts are afoot both at the federal and state levels to impose bans or restrictions on lead ammunition.”
Otherwise it’s just the usual over-reach from His Earness.

I think it’s great all these Westerners winging off to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS. The boys will become cannon fodder for allied strike bombers and the girls will be sex slaves for the boys who are left.
It’s cool because it’s evolution in action, something you rarely see (except in finches). Nature is draining the swamp, the shallow end of the gene pool, and leaving things much nicer (and roomier) for the rest of us.
“We can not win this war by killing them,” Marie Harf said on MSNBC of ISIS in what is now widely-agreed to have been a stunningly stupid remark.
“War is one of the few things in life we can reliably kill our way out of,” Sultan Knish reminds. “The United States has had a great track record of killing our way out of wars. We killed our way out of WW1. We killed our way out of WW2. The problem began when we stopped trying to kill our way out of wars and started trying to hug our way out of wars instead…Because the solution to war is so obvious that no progressive could possibly think of it.”
Certainly not the low-information Democrat progressives of our overpaid and blundering federal government.

Our politicians are such lightweights who are more concerned with graft and repression than actual accomplishment that their space agency is content to build tinker-toys. The real dreams of space conquest are still only dreams.
