Cop Assaults Air Force Capt. for Not Knowing Neighbor

Let Them Eat Cake!

From Barbara Bowland at cnsnews.com

With public school students using #ThanksMichelle to tweet photos of their skimpy, stomach-turning school lunches, I decided to look at what Michelle Obama's daughters are served at Sidwell Friends school, and it turns out the girls dine on lunches from menus designed by chefs.

First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" program is responsible for low calorie limits on public school students and lunch gruel that resulted in tweets like this:

First Lady Michelle Obama's daughters attend Sidwell Friends, and their meals include hot lunches that are prepared every day fresh-from-scratch. The company that caters the food, Meriwether-Godsey, uses chefs to prepare the food on-site - from scratch - with local and organic foods where possible.

Here's a sampling of the school's "soup of the day": Borscht, Tuscan white bean, Italian bean and kale, calico wild rice, Thai chicken coconut soup, local butternut squash soup, chilled cucumber and mint soup, and chilled blueberry soup.

Other delectable lunch items include:

• Crusted tilapia
• Herb roasted chicken
• Strawberries and chevre salad
• Freshly baked muffins
• Pesto cream & garden fresh marinara sauce
• Cheese tortellini
• All natural house-made chicken fingers
• Scallion rice
• Roasted edamame & Shitake mushrooms
• Jicama mango slaw
• BBQ sliders
• Pesto pasta
• All natural rosemary chicken
• Fresh herb risotto
• All natural beef nachos
• Vegetarian stuffed Portobello mushrooms
• Baked lemon herb tilapia
• Arugula, fennel and parmesan salad
• Baked organic French fries
• Baked three-cheese lasagna
• Pepperoni flatbread pizza

If the items listed above look like they could appear on the menu at a wedding or a five-star restaurant, that's because the menus are prepared by people that have studied under Sous Chefs.

A Waste of Time and Money

Having a trial for this scumbag is a complete waste of time and money. He admitted that he shot and killed a cab driver on television. He should also be charged with stupidity.

White Like Me

With all the talk about so called "white privilege," I had to flash back to this clip:

I Checked My Privilege, And It’s Doing Just Fine

The Privilege of Power (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Liberals have a new word for what normal people call “success.” They call it “privilege,” as if a happy, prosperous life is the result of some magic process related to where your great-great-great-grandfather came from.

It’s the latest leftist argument tactic, which means it is a tactic designed to prevent any argument and to beat you into rhetorical submission. Conservatives, don’t play their game. 

It’s easy to see that this notion that accomplishment comes not from hard work but from some mysterious force, operating out there in the ether, is essential to liberal thought. To excuse the dole-devouring layabouts who form so much of the Democrat voting base, it is critical that they undermine the achievements of those who support themselves. We can’t have the American people thinking that hard work leads to success; people might start asking why liberal constituencies don’t just work harder instead of demanding more money from those who actually produce something.

This “Check your privilege” meme is the newest trump card du jour on college campuses and in other domains of progressive tyranny. It morphed into existence from the “You racist!” wolf-cry that is now so discredited that it produces little but snickers even among liberal fellow travelers. After all, if everyone is racist – and to the progressives, everyone is except themselves – then no one is really racist. And it’s kind of hard to take seriously being called “racist” by adherents of a political party that made a KKK kleagle its Senate majority leader. 

So how do we deal with this idiocy? 

The proper response to the privilege gambit is laughter. The super-serious zealots of progressivism hate being laughed at, but there’s really no other appropriate response outside of a stream of obscenities. The privilege game is designed to circumvent arguments based on reason and facts and evidence, so the way to win it is to defeat it on its own terms. 

Call: “Check your privilege!” 

Response: “What you call ‘privilege’ is just me being better than you.” 

They won’t like it. It will make them angry. Good. Because tactics like “Check your privilege” are designed to make us angry, to put us off-balance, to baffle us and suck us down into a rabbit hole of leftist jargon and progressive stupidity.

Don’t follow them. Mock them. Accuse them of adhering to a transphobic cisnormative paradigm and start shrieking “Hate crime!” 

Don’t worry about not making sense. They’re college students. They are used to not understanding what people smarter than they are tell them.

This Guy Says He Knows The Constitution

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

At a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago Thursday night, Mr. Obama told a small group of wealthy supporters that there are several hurdles to keeping Democrats in control of the Senate and recapturing the House. One of those problems, he said, is the apportionment of two Senate seats to each state regardless of population.

“Obviously, the nature of the Senate means that California has the same number of Senate seats as Wyoming. That puts us at a disadvantage,” Mr. Obama said.

Obviously, he has no idea of why Congress was established with the structure that it has. The Senators from each state were originally appointed (elected) by the individual state legislatures. It was designed to represent the individual states in the Federal hierarchy. That changed with the approval of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution which allowed Senators to be elected based on popular vote.

The House was designed to be elected by the people of each state and are apportioned according to population - their purpose is to be the representatives of the people.

Obama seems to have forgotten that the three branches of our government were designed to be equal in order to balance the powers of the Federal Government. Congress was never intentioned to be a cheering section for the President nor a rubber stamp for his policies.

It is time to repeal the 17th Amendment.

Government Report Confirms That A Major Solar Event Will Be A Kill Shot For The United States |

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

An official report prepared by John Kappenman, an independent consultant, was commissioned by The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2010. The report is summarized in The JASON report on Impacts of Severe Space Weather on The Electrical Grid, project number 13119022.
 



JASON is an independent group of some 60 scientists that advises the United States government on science and technology that could have national implications. It is run by the non-profit making MITRE Corporation in Virginia.

There is a massive amount of information in the report which was published in November 2011. For the technically minded, transformers are discussed in detail, highlighting the problems that space weather impacts could, and does have on them. There are examples from around the world of the damage caused to electrical grids when a coronal mass ejection hits the Earth. There are details of different types of space weather, their effects and likely outcomes of such incidents.

Kappenman based his findings on past space weather, the effects felt at the time and how the advances in technology since that time would be affected by a similar event.

Page 51-54 of the JASON report is of particular interest. It summarizes Kappenman’s findings. It is somber reading.

• More than 300 transformers destroyed.
• 130 million people in the United States  lacking power for several years.
• 1-2 trillion dollars of economic losses.

Too Busy to be President

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Is Barack Obama simply too busy to be Chief Executive of the United States?  Apparently.  One of the primary functions of the president is to keep the nation safe, to preserve it from its enemies.  To do that effectively, one would actually have to maintain something of a consistent level of attention to the moving pieces that directly influence how future events will unfold. 

None other than the truly sycophantic thinks for a second that President Obama cares a whit for anything that does not involve fundamentally altering the social composition of this country.  Or golf.  During the five-plus years that we have been without a real president, meaning one who actually was aware of all aspects of the position and tried, even just a little, to perform them, everything that was predicted to occur during his tenure has materialized.  We are weaker, less respected, less feared, less liked and, well, just less.  No surprise there, really.  Conservatives had this guy figured out early in the first campaign, and they were spot on.  No record, no experience, no consistency, no integrity, no background, no evidence of morals, no normal friends or associates, and no supporters who cared more about their country than about their silly self-congratulation over electing the first black man who seemed just like them: unserious.

If we assume that the president is even half as smart as we’ve been told he is, which would still make him the smartest person ever to live, you’d think he would have picked up some skills along the way, or gained some firsthand experience that might come in handy.  You know, maybe how to read the tea leaves to foresee the bad things that could happen if you take a certain action, or what might happen if you decide to take no action at all when action is necessary.  Perhaps you’d think that someone that smart would be open to what more informed people in fields like intelligence and foreign relations have to say, and would use his smarts to discern which advice seemed most sage to plot his course, and ours.  He could still claim credit for the successful final decision, after all, which is really all that matters.

But you’d be wrong.  In every single crisis that has arisen since the beginning of Obama’s reign of error, he has had something else to do, something that was so much more important than the grenade going off behind him that he just could not find the time to address the crisis of the moment.  The celebrity and the trappings of the position have always been vastly more important to this man than the responsibilities, so much so that when faced with the choice of focusing on something hard requiring judgment and decisiveness, and giving in to something easy and self-indulgent, he always goes with easy and self-indulgent.
