So stop asking, peasants. When he was running for re-election in 2012, President Barack Obama repeatedly took credit for ending the war in Iraq and bringing all U.S. troops home from that country. At the White House on Saturday, however, when talking about his decision to use military force against the al-Qaida-related ISIS terrorist group in Iraq, Obama said removing all U.S. troops from Iraq was not “my decision.” “You

Obama: Iraq 2011? Like, totally to my credit ending that war. Today’s FUBAR? NOT my decision to pull out troops. [Darleen Click]
“You want Nazis?” [Darleen Click]
Mark Steyn There have been Christians in Mosul for just shy of two millennia, since the first century. There are none today. The Yazidi are practitioners of Kurdistan’s oldest religion, fire-worshippers whose presence in the region predates Islam. They’re either being executed or starved to death on a mountain: We are being slaughtered. Our entire religion is being wiped off the face of the earth. ISIS are fast-track Nazis. No
“Oppose Common Core? This Teachers Union President Wants To ‘Punch You In The Face'”
I’m game. But here’s the thing, Michael. You’d better bring a bunch of your “brothers and sisters” with you. Or things aren’t going to end well. One more thing: you’re whole dramatic spiel about how you’re the teachers, you’re the professionals, etc., is undercut by one simple truth: you are part of a unionized movement that seeks, on the main, to reward and protect the mediocre, to prevent competition, and
“Jesse Ventura fires back on O’Reilly, Palin & Anderson Cooper”
Got that in my email just now an immediately thought, “Gee. I hope in ‘firing back’ he didn’t accidentally take out any widows or the kids of a war hero.” I mean, I have no idea what kind of shot he is — just that he was a fake wrestler for a time, and has spent the last few years going increasingly insane. Hence my worry.
Yes, we’ve reached this point
And I’ll admit, even I thought it farfetched. Yet here we are. So let’s get to work pointing out all the potential drawbacks of a worldwide Islamist Caliphate in order that our fellow citizens can wake up and, for once, cast a clear-eyed look at who and what is running our country, and what their foreign policy is apt to produce long term. Like, say, a decided uptick in beheadings.
Ever wonder what kinds of people would show up to a protest…
… in favor of the curtailing of liberty, in favor of an increase of economic dislocation, and the burdening — if not outright elimination — of entire communities through the coercive and coordinated destruction of their industries? That is, ever wonder what kinds of people would actually take time out of their days to beg for more governmental intrusion into our lives? Well, wonder no more: Good Lord, man. Just
Sadness
By far one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do here lately in preparation for the move I finished today: packing away all my larger fighting knives. Sure, I still have my pistols and my rifles available to me — and a few smaller knives, including a “semi-auto” retractable and an “executive letter opener” made out of hardened resin, intended to beat metal screeners. And yes, my
When criminals attack
Don’t you just love criminal on criminal violence. Because that’s what happened here — at least, if you believe in the stern and impassioned rules meant to keep us all safe from criminals. Because the truth is, sometimes people have to die in an effort to maintain the cloying symbolism pushed by the effortlessly sanctimonious social engineers. NRO: More might have died if doctor had not shot gunman” —
Dear UN War Crimes commission:
Sirs, Madams, Others: I found this video [warning: extremely graphic] of Israelis executing en masse unarmed citizens in the Gaza strip. I beg you: please, please, please look into it. For the children. These kinds of atrocities cannot stand, and both you and the world media should be howling about this particular slaughter far louder than you have during your ongoing and cynically persistent pro-Israel coverage of the Zionists’ occupation
“John Kerry Doesn’t Want You to Call America ‘Exceptional'”
— Which, if you think about it, is actually quite alright with me, because I don’t want to call John Kerry “American.” Fair enough trade-off, I think.
