Worship security

In the “new” America, created by eight years of a Democratic administration that favors Muslims over other immigrants, armed security for Christian and Jewish worship services is becoming a priority in some places.

This case is harassment, but coming a few months after the San Bernadino, CA, terror murders (the worst in American history before the Orlando gay bar killings upped the record toll), the threat was clear.

Jews around the country already are readying themselves to protect their congregations during the early-to-mid October high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Of course my experience in all this is local, but I’m not going to give any specific names or place details on the Internet.

Will only say that meetings are being convened with police and private security firms and volunteers are being sought to keep the costs down. Interiors and exteriors will be patrolled by armed but unobtrusive security. Perimeters, inside and out, likewise will be secured. Large purses or other bags will be inspected, in as friendly a manner as possible. Persons unknown to the volunteers of a particular congregation will be engaged, as politely as possible, wherever they appear, to determine their intentions. I plan to be among the local volunteers.

It’s a pity, really, that any of this should be necessary. In America, of all places. But, thanks to the Democrats, many of them atheists who couldn’t care less about religion, in 2016, so it is.

Black Guns Matter

Yep, guns. This guy Maj Toure is onto something.

“He said that African-Americans generally have a negative view of firearms, a stigma he wants to change that. ‘It’s been taboo to talk about firearms in the black community especially,’ Toure said. ‘The general stigma is, if you have a firearm in the community you are either the bad guy or law enforcement. That’s something that is inaccurate. There’s law enforcement that are bad guys and there are guys from the hood that are great guys and they both may have firearms.

“’So we’re here to break that stereotype by showing people that to have a firearm, no different than the Founding Fathers said hundreds of years before me, that’s part of being a good citizen,’ Toure said. ‘Not leaning on the police for everything. They have more things on their plate than they need to. Our own personal safety is up to us as citizens.’”

Course I love what he told the Hildabeast. To come down off her ruling class high horse to the level of the rest of us peasants. Put her own behavior where her anti-gun mouth is and disarm her security detail. Give ’em cans of mace, eh?

The Pussy Generation

Clint Eastwood: “…secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a pussy generation.”

No kidding.

Before Trump’s bashing, there was Reagan’s

As efficiently summarized by commenter kennycan at Instapundit:

“It was the Republicans calling Reagan a b-movie actor with voodoo economics and a disastrous foreign policy goal of defeating the USSR that would end up in apocalyptic global disaster. He was a radical. A maniac. A dunce. A buffoon. An actor aka reality star, unread and uncouth, a Cowboy, a fascist, a Nazi, a racist bigot, a closed trade isolationist advocate with his Japanese tariffs rhetoric. Completely unfit to be POTUS.”

And, of course, the Democrats and their dominant Democrat news media happily chimed in and kept up the slander all the way up to election day.

Now, of course, even the Dems have canonized Reagan as a near-saint.

Meanwhile, Trump’s attacks on the Democrat news media are very similar to Reagan’s, if more pointed and, after so many years of their political bias, more vitriolic. Can’t hurt. Most Americans don’t trust and can’t stand the news media.

And prospective first daughter Ivanka Trump, for one, surely is learning why.

But it’s not just the news media. Nowadays, it’s also Hollyweird, television, academia, etc. Democrats all. Combined with the news media, a much more formidable enemy for Trump to defeat. Possibly impossible.

We. Don’t. Care.

Ignore the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) that the dominant Democrat news media and the ruling class of both parties specialize in and currently are heaping on Trump at every opportunity. Repeat the three power words as a mantra, as a prayer:

We. Don’t. Care.

They only want to divert attention from their favorite: “… a proven criminal, traitor, and Marxist fanatic who despises America and would destroy it, and its constitution, forever, if she can. We won’t let her do that.”

Fear not. Trump already has ’em on the run. They are writhing, frothing…

Allah a “god of death”

It’s about time. Paris Archbishop, a French cardinal, calls the Muslim Allah a “god of death.” Compares him to Moloch, an ancient Middle Eastern god who demanded the sacrifices of infants to satisfy his lust for human blood.

Some think it’s just a matter of time before the French mount a new crusade to kick some Radical Muslim ass in retaliation for the mass murders they have suffered under the definitive Muslim war cry of Allahu Akbar.

Rule 5: Ronda Rousey

Screen-Shot-2016-07-13-at-3.41.26-PM-1-e1468439352717

Ronda’s Sports Illustrated body paint shots are nice, but I like this one better. Could be using the old Melania Trump pics lately exposed by the New York Post but, frankly, they’re not as good as this.

The Murdoch paper, a mainstay of the conservative narrative in the leftist NYT’s town, chose to print the nude pix from years before Melania met The Donald. Their power to change the political conversation away from the Hildabeast’s lies fell apart when Trump refused to play aggrieved husband. She’s too skinny for my taste but they’re not a bad reason in themselves to vote for him. Or at least to be jealous.
