LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
http://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/06/june-15-2016-leftist-drum-by-tammy.html
Sitting in a waiting room is about the only time I’m exposed
to the puppet show of the main stream media or Left Wing entertainment. News has become entertainment and entertainment
has become an extension of the controlling arm of government. Sometimes it’s
difficult to tell one from the other as they both march to the beat of the
leftist drum. I wonder how long it will
be before we have just one, government approved, news channel.
This past week I was held captive by a television in a waiting room. I did my best to block it out but found it extremely difficult to listen to a man’s voice talking as if he were a woman. I was unable to see the TV so the dialog was even more concerning. Two things came to mind. One, I truly felt sorry for this individual. He, and he is a he, needs help. But, not the nip, tuck or enhancement kind of help which is being followed by the demand that the original he or she, which is now a she or he, should be accepted into either restroom or activity based on how one identifies themselves at the moment. Two, I am sick and tired of the Left pushing their destructive agenda on the rest of us!

The Leftist Drum
By Tammy Derouin
Waiting rooms are no longer scattered with layers of
magazines to thumb through as you sit and wait for an appointment. Cell phones, which have become everyone’s
center of the universe, have become the go-to device for anything and
everything. Televisions, however, are in
most waiting rooms. Unless you are
somehow able to block out the sound, you are held captive by a jabbering box of
someone else’s idea of entertainment or news.

Homeland Security Adviser: 9/11 Was Good Thing
Homeland Security Adviser: 9/11 Was Good Thing | The Daily Caller:
"One of the sitting members on the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is a 25-year-old immigrant of Syrian heritage who said that the 9/11 attacks “changed the world for good” and has consistently disparaged America, free speech and white people on social media.

Laila Alawa was one of just 15 people tapped to serve on the newly-formed HSAC Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism in 2015 — the same year she became an American citizen.
Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism.
Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism.
Alawa says she immigrated into the U.S. when she was ten years old. Her family had already left Syria by the time she was born. “But I will always be Syrian. I will always be from Syria. I will always be of Syria,” she wrote in November 2015, calling the country her “homeland.”
In 2014, Alawa commemorated the September 11 attacks by tweeting that “9/11 changed the world for good, and there’s no other way to say it.”
Exactly a year later, she claimed that, after September 11, “Being American meant you were white.”
Surviving A Mass Shooting: This Is What You Must Do If Confronted By An Assailant Who Is Intent On Killing You
Surviving A Mass Shooting: This Is What You Must Do If Confronted By An Assailant Who Is Intent On Killing You:
Editor’s Note:
It has been reported that of the 50 people who died in the Orlando massacre, about half of them were killed by their attacker inside of a bathroom.
The problem is that most people never consider the possibility that they’ll ever be faced with a deadly threat.
To their detriment, they never personally war game such a scenario.
While running is an option, it may not be possible when all hell breaks loose.
In the following article from The Market Ticker, author Karl Denninger outlines the threat, your options, and what you absolutely must do if you want to survive.

You MUST Change Your Attitude-By Karl Denninger
This is not going to be easy for you to read folks.
But if you do read it all the way through, and then act on it, it may save your life.
The events in Orlando make clear a few points.
...Here it is, in short:
If confronted with overwhelming and superior force by an assailant who appears to be intent on killing you the only logical position you can adopt and the view you must adopt is that you are dead right there, right now.
Is attempting to flee in such a situation practical?
Maybe, if you can actually flee.
But “to flee” means getting well clear (beyond quick-action firearm range) and do so using cover and/or concealment so you cannot be assaulted during the process.
Read on and learn.
Or expect the police to save you and your family.
Or not.....

Law Enforcement 'Never Guessed' Gay Club Would Be Targeted by Jihad | PJ Media:
"Why would they never have guessed?
Because the FBI and other law enforcement agencies don’t study Islam, and this is a direct result of Muslim groups demanding the removal of such material. Those who are committed to protecting us are taught to downplay and deny the motivating ideology behind jihad terror attacks.
They have no idea that the following sayings exist or what their significance is:
If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful. (Qur’an 4:16)
That seems mild, but keep reading. The Qur’an depicts Allah raining down stones upon people for engaging in homosexual activity:"

Report: New evidence of rising ‘Obamacare’ premiums:
"Washington — Premiums for popular low-cost medical plans under the federal health care law are expected to go up an average of 11 percent next year, said a study that reinforced reports of sharp increases around the country in election season.
For consumers, the impact will depend on whether they get government subsidies for their premiums, as well as on their own willingness to switch plans to keep the increases more manageable, said the analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation...

"NEWS YOU CAN USE: Writer who doesn’t like AR-15s doesn’t like AR-15s.
I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.
Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. In fully automatic mode, it doesn’t take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel.
Other than the fact that Gersh Kuntzman was

- firing it incorrectly,
- made an incorrect (and shameful) claim about having PTSD,
- was incorrect that Mateen used an AR-15 in the Orlando terror attack,
- and was incorrect about being able to purchase a fully automatic “tactical machine gun,”
this is a totally accurate piece he’s written for the Daily News."

University of Wisconsin students to undergo mandatory ‘cultural competency training’
University of Wisconsin students to undergo mandatory ‘cultural competency training’ | EAGnews.org:
"MADISON, Wis. – ...The university has announced that it will require about 1,000 incoming students to participate in “cultural competency training” this fall, at a cost ranging between $150,000 and $200,000, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
The announcement follows a semester of student protests over “racially charged incidents at UW-Madison that officials say may have been driven by ignorance rather than malice,” according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
The training will address “topics such as identity, culture and micro-aggressions,” the newspaper reported.
The State Journal defines the term “microsaggressions” as “seemingly minor or unintentional slights that contribute to a hostile atmosphere for people of color.”
While the training may be limited to about 1,000 students this fall, it will be mandatory for all incoming students by next year, the State Journal reported. The report did not say how much the expanded program might cost in the future..."

The Orlando Attack Is What Actual Homophobia Looks Like
The Orlando Attack Is What Actual Homophobia Looks Like
Homophobia is not a reasonable objection to the deficiencies of modern gay culture, but a profound and even homicidal desire to harm gays because of their sexual preferences.
***********************************************************
"Over the past few years, those of us who have opposed various efforts of gay activism—such as the endeavor to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples—have gotten used to being called “homophobic,” a word that denotes an irrational and prejudiced fear of homosexuals but has often been affixed to anybody who voices any objections to the gay activist agenda.
This strategy, needless to say, has coarsened and debased our public discourse, mostly because it is more a tactic of shame than a real argument: if you can label someone a bigot instead of actually engaging his position, it makes things much easier for you.
It is quite likely that many people with objections to, say, gay marriage have remained silent, and understandably so, for fear of being labeled “homophobic.”
Yet conscientious moral opposition to the gay agenda does not by itself signify homophobia.
If you wish to see real homophobia—the genuine article, not the intellectually exhausted fashionable buzzword the Left trots out at every possible opportunity—look to yesterday’s mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, in which 50 individuals were murdered inside a gay nightclub.
...This is what actual homophobia looks like: not a reasonable objection to the deficiencies of modern gay culture, but a profound and even homicidal desire to harm gays because of their sexual preferences.
Political Advocacy Doesn’t Equal Supporting Murder
The anti-gay impulse is unfortunately prevalent throughout a large amount of the Muslim world: ISIS is notoriously brutal towards gays, and a great many Muslim-majority countries punish homosexual behavior with anything from prison time to death.
In the United States, a pizzeria can decline to cater a purely theoretical gay wedding on religious grounds, and the pizzeria instead of the gay activists face public backlash.
In Somalia, however, a man might be put to death for having sex with another man.
One of these things represents homophobia; one of them does not..."

Wow: Disney Warned FBI About Omar Mateen Back In April
Wow: Disney Warned FBI About Omar Mateen Back In April - Christine Rousselle
"New reports are emerging that Disney warned the FBI about Omar Mateen several months ago.
Mateen visited the parks with his wife, who told the media that he was considering attacking Disney Springs.
Mateen also visited the Disney Springs (formerly known as "Downtown Disney") area during Gay Days, a weeklong LGBT festival in Orlando."

There are thousands of people who visit Disney each day--and Mateen must have been doing something very out of the ordinary to stand out and set off alarm bells and warrant the FBI being notified.
That's horrifying.

"According to CNN, the President explained that Mateen acquired his guns via a background check. And he explained that the background check did not stop Manteen “because he did not have a criminal record that in some ways would prohibit him from purchasing” his weapons.
Breitbart News has previously warned readers not to be fooled into believing background checks will prevent high-profile attackers from striking, and Obama’s admission is confirmation that background checks did not hinder Mateen in the least. Background checks only stop actual criminals, not latent ones."

County Map Shows Where Mosquitoes That Could Carry Zika Have Lived
County Map Shows Where Mosquitoes That Could Carry Zika Have Lived : Shots - Health News : NPR:
"On Thursday, CDC scientists published another mosquito map for the U.S. And it paints a very different picture.
The new map shows counties in which scientists, over the past two decades, have collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — the type of insect thought to be spreading Zika in Latin American and the Caribbean.
"The new map is more accurate than the initial one," says Thomas Scott, an entomologist at the University of California, Davis. "The distribution of the A. aegypti mosquito is much more restricted than the initial map showed."..."

"Glenn Beck questioned Monday why many in the media are referring to Sunday morning’s horrific Orlando attack as a “mass shooting” instead of a terrorist attack, given the fact that the shooter showed “strong indications of radicalization.”
“We have to be really clear, the nation is at war. From 9/11 to the Boston Marathon, from Fort Hood to Chattanooga, from San Bernardino to Orlando, our nation is at war,” Beck said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program."

Mexplaining Mexican Pride
Mexplaining Mexican Pride - Taki's Magazine
"The most feral and violent contingent of anti-Trump protestors appears to consist of unabashed Mexican supremacists falsely accusing Trump of being a white supremacist.
They are so irreparably dim that they appear to believe that by stomping on cars, throwing rocks at police, and sucker-punching white people, they will finally quell all doubt about whether they deserve to be here.
Behold the parallel-universe specter of hateful assholes hatefully screaming and hatefully attacking people while toting placards that read STOP THE HATE.
Even more absurd is the specter of people who ran screaming from the flaming abyss that is Mexico proudly waving Mexican flags in the USA.
The most unhinged anti-Trump street riot so far occurred on June 2 outside his rally in San Jose, CA. Mexican flags were waved, Trump hats were burned, women were pelted with eggs and water balloons, men were sucker-punched, and white Trump supporters were chased and attacked like beasts of prey.
In every case, assailants or their enablers were seen waving Mexican flags, a symbol of the fierce pride that was sorely insulted by Trump’s candidacy.
Is this the behavior of people who are truly proud, or is it a collective tantrum by people who are secretly ashamed?
