I was also part of the Dubai assassination

And why not? It seems the sticky-but-hapless gumshoes of the Dubai police force are asserting that all Jews are suspects. No kidding. Since about 70 CE, to be precise.

Via Simply Jews, where commenter David All has a funny: given all the suspects so far named by the Dubai coppers, one could paraphrase Hilarity Clinton and note that it obviously takes a village, these days, to carry out an assassination of a terrorist.

Homeland Security: Bozos at work

I mean, if you can’t manage to manage your own weapon… Don’t you feel  safer now? I know I do.

Especially after this:  Defeating the enemy by briefing the enemy. Yeah, that’ll work. Can anybody at DHS play this game?

Never forget

Sleep deprivation is the new torture. Western Civ has come a long way to arrive at such nonsense.

C-130J

C130JC-130s now have digital flight decks, and six-bladed composite propellers. At least the C-130Js do. More here in the latest from Michael Yon in Afghanistan.

Barry’s Kryptonite: Ridicule

Barry beclowned himself with his SOTU. The least we can do is return the favor:

“…we’d better get busy with the ridiculing, mocking, derision, scorn, belittling, shaming, parodying, satirizing and lampooning toot sweet like our lives, homes, families, nation and the world depend on it. (Because they do.)”

Worth a full read. Although I think the military still is capable of obliterating any enemy. So weak president or no, we’re not in much danger.
