Everyone's An Ally. (Except Israel.)

Everyone's An Ally. (Except Israel.) :: SteynOnline
The other big story of the day was the Sunni Arabs' decision to intervene in the chaos in Yemen:

HUGH HEWITT: al-Sisi, the president of the Egypt, whom our president does not much like, has decided with the new king of Saudi Arabia that they're not waiting around for their American pals. They're going to go stop the Shia, the Iranian-backed Shia in Yemen. Jeffrey Goldberg, who's pretty good on this stuff, writes, "Negotiating with the Iranians in Switzerland, bombing their allies in Yemen, bombing their enemies in Syria and Iraq. Makes sense." We are, actually, Mark Steyn, in an incoherent, cataclysmic, incoherent moment.

MS: Yes, it's very weird. At the moment, we just started lending air support to our allies, the Iranians, in the fight to take back Tikrit in Iraq. That operation is being directed by an Iranian general, and the United States Air Force is basically serving as Iran's air force for the purposes of that operation. Meanwhile, down south in Yemen, we're providing support to our other allies, the Saudis, as they go into Yemen to take on the allies of our first allies, the Iranians.

But to the President it all makes sense because it's all Israel's fault:

MS: The entire region is aflame now from West Africa to the Hindu Kush. Four capitals are currently controlled by Tehran. We don't know how many capital cities will be controlled by them by the end. And other states have completely imploded, like Libya, and meanwhile all these various franchises of the jihad are all bulked up and getting along fine. And the idiocy of this administration is that somehow, they think this would all go away if Israel would stop building settlements.

Four (Black) Cops Killed in Seven Days -- Where's the Outrage? - Larry Elder - Page 1

Despite the widely publicized recent cases where cops killed blacks, new studies show cops -- black and white -- more reluctant to shoot a black suspect compared to a white suspect. 

Reasons are unclear, but fear of additional scrutiny -- whether fair or not -- might be a factor.

Suspects who kill cops, however, appear colorblind.

Threatening journalists with punishment?---- Hillary 'Super Volunteers' Warn Reporter Against Using 'Sexist' Words

Hillary 'Super Volunteers' Warn Reporter Against Using 'Sexist' Words - Breitbart
A team of Hillary Clinton “super volunteers” warned a New York Times reporter on Wednesday against using words about Clinton that they deem to be “sexist.”

The group, “HRC Super volunteers,” wrote Times reporter Amy Chozick, the paper’s Hillary Clinton reporter, and put her on notice regarding “coded sexism.”

Sexist words, according to the group, include: “polarizing,” “calculating,” “disingenuous,” “insincere,” “ambitious,” “inevitable,” “entitled,” “over confident,” “secretive,” will do anything to win,” “represents the past,” and “out of touch.”

“You are on notice that we will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism,” the group reportedly wrote her.

Read it before the haters win---What the Indiana Religious Freedom Law Isn't

What the Indiana Religious Freedom Law Isn't - Liberty Conservatives:
1. It ISN’T a protection for JUST Christians, as the protection is for all faith’s and belief systems.
2. It ISN’T a law that supersedes the equal protection clause.
The 14th amendment to the Constitution, Section 1 says:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
What this means is that NO ONE can simply deny service to someone because they are black or female or gay or muslim or Christian.
You will not see a store that has a sign in the window that says, “NO Gays Allowed”.
If you do, you should report it and that person is in for a world of financial and possibly criminal trouble.
...The religious freedom law simply says that if my religion says an activity is wrong, I have the right to not participate in it.
So, guess what you have the right to do because of that?
You can boycott a business, leave them a negative rating on social media and tell all of your friends that said business did not want to take your money and participate in an activity that went against their religious beliefs.
If free market capitalism causes that business to go under because enough people in that community agree that they no longer want to do business with an organization that refuses to engage in said activities, then guess what, that is the natural consequence.
That is how the system is SUPPOSED to work.
So, to summarize, stop saying that this law will discriminate unfairly against the gay community, as that is nonsense and can be easily debunked by simply reading the 14th amendment...
 3. It ISN’T a first step toward much broader legislation.
Read on.

Not confirmed..... yet------GERMAN NEWS REPORT: Co-Pilot of Germanwings Airbus Was MUSLIM CONVERT …’Hero of Islamic State’?

GERMAN NEWS REPORT: Co-Pilot of Germanwings Airbus Was MUSLIM CONVERT …’Hero of Islamic State’? | The Gateway Pundit
GERMAN REPORT —HE WAS RADICALIZED!

GERMAN CO-PILOT WAS MUSLIM CONVERT–
— STAYED AT Bremen Mosque

Police have reportedly found an “item of significance” at the apartment of the co-pilot who crashed the Germanwing passenger plane into the Alps this week.

The item was NOT a suicide note.

28-year-old German Andreas Lubitz trained in the Phoenix, Arizona and is pictured here in San Francisco.

A German news website claims Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim convert.

Speisa.com reported:

...All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of “radical”, ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder. As a radical mosque in Bremen is in the center of the investigation, in which the convert was staying often, it can be assumed that he – as Mohammed Atta, in the attack against New York – received his instructions directly from the immediate vicinity of the mosque.

Converts are the most important weapon of Islam. Because their resume do not suggests that they often are particularly violent Muslims...

Defining designerware down----Straight Women in Baggy Clothes Are Appropriating Lesbian Culture

Guardian Column: Straight Women in Baggy Clothes Are Appropriating Lesbian Culture:
"“Unisex” clothing styles are ruining everything.
A lesbian columnist wrote a piece in The Guardian complaining that the straight women who wear less-than-feminine clothing are “appropriating” lesbian culture and making it too hard for lesbians to tell who the other lesbians are.
The columnist, named Sophie Wilkinson, describes the trend of what she calls “unisex style” as a new thing, blaming the “high-street ubiquity of unisex outfitters such as American Apparel and Uniqlo and the androgynous cuts of Scandinavian shops like Cos.”
“What was once a queer-owned style has shifted to the mainstream, being appropriated by straight women to the point that it’s now impossible to infer a sexual orientation from the way a woman dresses,” Wilkinson writes in a piece titled “Butch chic: how the gender-neutral trend has ruined my wardrobe.”
