Iran Photoshops “stealth fighter” onto stock wallpaper; Chuck Hagel blames the Jews

Well, in his mind he did. Defense Tech: Iran photo shop artists are at it again. This time they didn’t just put Iran’s supposed new stealth jet on a show floor, they have it flying over Mount Damavand. The staff at GIZMODO took notice and quickly tracked down the stock photo at PickyWallpapers?.com that was then featured in the media blitz for Iran’s supposed Qaher 313 stealth fighter. We’ve been

What happens when the Constitution is respected only in the breach

Or referenced and cited only when it is politically expedient to call on its protections. At all other times it is but an old document quilled by whigged white misogynistic racists of the propertied gentry who, like savages, brought insurrection and destruction against a dignified Monarchy.  Much of it right from inside Massachusetts! To wit:  “Town of Westford Moving Forward with Unprecedented Gun Ban” (this being one of those occasions

The anti-gun propaganda push continues: Sami Rahamim, gun violence, and you

From my email just now comes this heart-wrenching, emotionally-drenched plea to do something to stop the gun violence: Friend — My dad, Reuven Rahamim, was killed this past September in a mass shooting. I was 17 years old, one of 15 children who lost a parent that day. I’m honoring his memory — and those of many others who have fallen — by doing something about gun violence. Whether you’ve

Hell hath no fury like a bunch of useful idiots in the mainstream press, scorned

The most transparent administration ever!  Which we know to be true because Obama consistently asserts it.  And in a postmodern presidency, where anti-foundationalism is the ruling “philosophy,” it’s the assertion that acts as the performative, not anything concrete that the assertion refers to.   Meaning, manufactured consent and perception, built on the repetition of assertions and parroted by a compliant media, come to count as fact, whereas actual fact is to

It’s that crackhead, drug-dealing coon’s word against mine. And I’m a famous actor!

Or at least, that’s how I’ve chosen to paraphrase Alec Baldwin’s denial that he committed what his liberal / progressive pals would call a Hate Crime. Faux News: Alec Baldwin’s latest squabble with the media may have him in some serious hot water. An NYPD rep told FOX 411 the 54-year-old actor is being investigated following an altercation he allegedly got into with a New York Post photographer. “Our hate

“The disturbing pattern: Obama rids America’s military of yet another top general”

Andrew Malcolm, IBD: It’s a developing pattern of this Obama White House. Barack Obama cashiered yet another battle-seasoned American general Tuesday, even as the war in Afghanistan continues along with numerous other serious global threats to United States security. This is the fourth senior officer Obama has forced from the country’s service. All four were tied somehow to the Afghanistan mess that Obama has long argued was the most important war.

“Once the women were liberated from the underworld, the crooks, drug dealers and people traffickers would drift away.” [Darleen Click]

Legalized prostitution in Amsterdam is a tragic disaster Twelve years on, and we can now see the results of this experiment. Rather than afford better protection for the women, it has simply increased the market. Rather than confine the brothels to a discrete (and avoidable) part of the city, the sex industry has spilt out all over Amsterdam — including on-street. Rather than be given rights in the ‘workplace’, the
