This is How Thieves Get ‘Punished’ in Obama’s Upside-Down America:

"But, when big government grows to gargantuan levels by promising something for nothing, this type of attitude can get out of control. In the case of two thieves, their entitlement attitude, belief that they are entitled to whatever they choose to steal, is rewarded with lucrative contracts."

Monica on the Steyn Team?-----Me and My Little Black Dress

Me and My Little Black Dress :: SteynOnline:

Here we are a gazillion years later, and 2018 is almost upon us. 

Ed Driscoll asks "Is Mark Steyn's PR firm accepting new clients?"

"Because seriously, I don't know how they do it.

The week that After America came out in 2011, the Dow Jones dropped 512 points on Thursday, and S&P shorted America's credit rating on Friday...

Today, The [Un]documented Mark Steyn, an anthology of his columns, hits the streets; its introduction is titled "Me and My Little Black Dress..."

Apparently to tie in with his book's launch, somehow Mark's PR people managed to convince Lewinsky to join Twitter on the very same day The [Un]documented Mark Steyn debuts.

Thanks, Monica!"

State bans purchase of most SUVs but governor, family still chauffeured in them

State bans purchase of most SUVs but governor, family still chauffeured in them « Watchdog.org:
"Last year, the Colorado Department of Personnel & Administration, in an attempt to improve the state fleet’s environmental friendliness, issued a policy that prevents most departments from buying all-wheel-drive sports utility vehicles.
Yet, Gov. John Hickenlooper and his family are still chauffeured around in two SUVs, which according to government figures get about 22 miles a gallon highway and 16 mpg in city driving in the six cylinder version.
.....But Gregory Golyansky, president of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, said the governor should be setting an example if he and his cabinet are pushing for green vehicles.
“This governor is a proponent of all kinds of green fantasies,” he said.
“If they are so useful, the government wouldn’t have to require departments to buy them.”"

U.S. Congress examining deal between NSA official, ex-agency chief

U.S. Congress examining deal between NSA official, ex-agency chief | Reuters:
"A Senate committee and an outspoken U.S. Congressman are seeking further information about a deal under which a top National Security Agency official is being permitted to work part-time for a private company run by the spy agency's former director.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has requested a copy of an "internal review" which NSA said last week it had opened into an arrangement under which Patrick Dowd, the spy agency's chief technical officer is being allowed up to 20 hours per week for IronNet Cybersecurity Inc, a congressional official said.
IronNet is a venture created by retired Gen. Keith Alexander, who stepped down as NSA director in March.
Under the arrangement, which Reuters first reported on Friday, IronNet, not NSA, will pay for the time Dowd spent working for the firm.
It could not be determined whether Dowd has actually begun working for Alexander.
The arrangement, which current and former officials said was approved by top NSA managers, has raised questions about the blurring of lines between government and business."

"Not only is Obama apparently unconcerned with Klain’s lack of qualifications regarding the deadly disease; one source told The New York Times that dealing with Ebola itself is really not the point of his position.

The report indicates Klain is in place to “control the message,” going on to reiterate that if “anybody can get the way this is being reported and discussed under control in a short period of time, he’s the one.”

5 discreet weapons you can carry (almost) anywhere

5 discreet weapons you can carry (almost) anywhere

1) Newspaper/magazine
This is probably the most inconspicuous weapon of the group but with some training it can be extremely effective. It’s an improvised weapon that’s been taught to special forces and intelligence operatives for generations. Colloquially, used as a weapon, a lot of people refer to it as a Millwall Brick.

The key is rolling it up tight and holding it in the right spot. If you roll it toward the fold, you won’t have all the pages layered out alongside it so it’ll hold up better (like I have in the picture above). You can also pre-roll it and keep it tight with rubber bands too, which would make it very effective, but now you’re starting to lose the inconspicuousness of it.

Here’s a quick video that shows just how easily it can be used:

Man Says He Has Ebola And Tries To LICK Hillary Protesters

Man Says He Has Ebola And Tries To LICK Hillary Protesters | The Daily Caller:
"An elderly man calling himself a progressive socialist accosted a group of about two dozen conservative students who were protesting outside a building where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was speaking.
He then said he had Ebola and tried to lick the students.
The strange episode happened on Thursday at Oakland University, a public school in the endless suburbs of Detroit, Mich., reports Campus Reform.
Clinton was on campus stumping on behalf of a couple of Democrats: Former U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer, who is running for governor, and U.S. Rep. Gary Peters, who is running for a Senate seat.
Campus police and the Secret Service forced the conservative protesters to an area across a street and well away from the crowd waiting to get into the event.
The would-be licker who claimed to have Ebola is Larry Mitchell of the St. Clair Shores Democratic Club, according to Campus Reform.
The students represented the College Republicans, Students for Life and Young Americans for Liberty."

Top Scientist: This Version Of Ebola Looks Like ‘A Very Different Bug’

Top Scientist: This Version Of Ebola Looks Like ‘A Very Different Bug’
Barack Obama and the head of the CDC need to quit saying that we know exactly how Ebola spreads.  
Because the truth is that there is much about this virus that we simply do not know.  
For example, a top Ebola scientist that is working in the heart of the outbreak in Liberia says that this version of Ebola looks like it could be "a very different bug" from past versions.  
Other leading scientists are echoing his concerns.... 

Now U.S. scientist Peter Jahrling of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease believes the current Ebola outbreak may be caused by an infection that spreads more easily than it did before.

Dr Jahrling explained that his team, who are working in the epicentre of the crisis in the Liberian capital of Monrovia, are seeing that the viral loads in Ebola patients are much higher than they are used to seeing.

He told Vox.com: 'We are using tests now that weren't using in the past, but there seems to be a belief that the virus load is higher in these patients [today] than what we have seen before. If true, that's a very different bug.

'I have a field team in Monrovia. They are running [tests]. They are telling me that viral loads are coming up very quickly and really high, higher than they are used to seeing.

'It may be that the virus burns hotter and quicker.'

‘LGBT’: The ‘T’ is for Tyranny

‘LGBT’: The ‘T’ is for Tyranny « Oregon Magazine:
"Washington state, dateline 2012: Colleen is just like the girl next door.
Well, sort of.
Colleen has a penis.
So, I guess, unless the girl next door has a penis, Coleen really isn’t much like her at all.
But that’s beside the point.
In Washington you must, under penalty of law, pretend, along with Colleen and Democrats that, in the face of both reality and sanity, Colleen really is like the girl next door. 
This includes letting Colleen, who is actually a 47-year-old dude named Clay Scott Francis, lay naked and “sprawled out in a sauna exposing himself” to girls as young as 6 years old. 
This really happened in the ladies locker room at Evergreen State College.
It’s only fair, you see, because, as Clay, er, “Colleen,” complained, and as police agreed, this sick bastard was “discriminated against” when he was asked to leave on behalf of a terrorized 17-year-old girl.
“This is not 1959 Alabama,” cried Francis. “We don’t call police for drinking from the wrong water fountain.”
Get that, my African-American friends?
According to this beneficiary of “white privilege,” a man who, incidentally, identifies as a “transgender lesbian” (meaning he’s sexually attracted to females), to be told that you cannot sprawl naked and intentionally expose your manly bits to 6-year-old girls is no different from being relegated to a “colored only” water fountain."

SOURCE OF CURRENT EBOLA EPIDEMIC IDENTIFIED: Bat-Eating Family in Guinea Village | The Gateway Pundit

SOURCE OF CURRENT EBOLA EPIDEMIC IDENTIFIED: Bat-Eating Family in Guinea Village | The Gateway Pundit

The current Ebola epidemic was traced back to a bat-eating family in the village of Gueckedou in south-eastern Guinea.
The BBC reported:

Bushmeat is believed to be the origin of the current Ebola outbreak. The first victim’s family hunted bats, which carry the virus. Could the practice of eating bushmeat, which is popular across Africa, be responsible for the current crisis?

The origin has been traced to a two-year-old child from the village of Gueckedou in south-eastern Guinea, an area where batmeat is frequently hunted and eaten.

The infant, dubbed Child Zero, died on 6 December 2013. The child’s family statedthey had hunted two species of bat which carry the Ebola virus.

Bushmeat or wild animal meat covers any animal that is killed for consumption, principally chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats and monkeys. It can even include porcupines, rats and snakes.

In some remote areas it is a necessary source of food – in others it has become a delicacy.

In Africa’s Congo Basin, people eat an estimated five million tonnes of bushmeat per year, according to the Centre of International Forestry Research.

Doctors Without Borders has more on the bat-eating family.

Sweden passes law to criminalize any criticism of immigration

The Constitutional Committee’s report has been voted for in parliament, seen in a letter from the
Parliamentary Offices. Member of Parliament Andrew Norlén, member of the Constitutional Committee, has been pushing the issue and he says it will rapidly become a deterrent."

NOAA Says Global Warming Not Linked to Extreme Weather

NOAA Says Global Warming Not Linked to Extreme Weather | Heartlander Magazine:
Contrary to claims often repeated by environmental radicals, global warming is not responsible for extreme weather events, according to a new report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Explaining Extremes of 2013 from a Climate Perspective, NOAA’s new report, examined claims global warming was behind various droughts, floods, unusually cold weather and blizzards, cyclones, etc. – and found no identifiable connection between them and rising greenhouse gas emissions.
In California, for example, a prolonged drought has been blamed by climate alarmists on global warming.
The liberal Center for American Progress and media outlets including the Washington Post and Associated Press have published stories claiming global warming caused or worsened the California drought. 
NOAA’s scientists beg to differ, writing, “[F]or the California drought, which was investigated by three teams from the United States, human factors were found not to have influenced the lack of rainfall.”
It would seem President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who regularly cite the California drought as evidence of man’s fiery influence on climate, need to follow the research more closely, since their own scientists disagree with their take on the matter."

Intolerance----Setting The Record Straight: Ministers In Coeur D,Alene, Idaho Told By Gov't Marry Gays Or Go To Jail

Setting The Record Straight: Ministers In Coeur D,Alene, Idaho Told By Gov't Marry Gays Or Go To Jail:
"Two Christian ministers who own an Idaho wedding chapel were told they had to either perform same-sex weddings or face jail time and up to $1,000 in daily fines, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court.
Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Donald and Evelyn Knapp, two ordained ministers who own the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
The wedding chapel is registered as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible.”
City officials told Donald Knapp that he and his wife Evelyn, both ordained ministers who run Hitching Post Wedding Chapel, are required to perform such ceremonies or face months in jail and/or thousands of dollars in fines.
The city claims its “non-discrimination” ordinance requires the Knapps to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies now that the courts have overridden Idaho’s voter-approved constitutional amendment that affirmed marriage as the union of a man and a woman."
