Happy Thursday.

The RNC has added Wisconsin to a $4 million ad buy, which means we really are going to contest it.

Avik Roy over at NR tears apart the latest Bain attacks.

Speaking of stupid Democrat lines, the President apparently thinks that U.S. soldiers should use AK-47s, or something.

Longtime friend of the HQ, Elizabeth Scalia aka @theAnchoress has a must-read post on Big Gay Al and the Boy Scouts.

Meteorologists are predicting bad weather and the possibility of a derecho in the Northeast today. Suspicious, I'd say. I'd never even heard of a derecho before four weeks ago; now this is the second derecho warning this week alone.

5 Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, July 26, 2012. On this day in 1775 the Continental Congress created the Post Office. Like the Constitution also created by the early founders, it also is in grave danger of being abolished. Both are being destroyed by the politicians in Washington.

7 Recent national security leaks have put lives at risk and may ultimately cost Americans their lives unless there is an effective crackdown, the head of the Special Operations Command Admiral William McRaven says.

"The President and Capitol Hill are taking these leaks very very seriously," McRaven said Wednesday night at the Aspen Security Forum. "We need to do the best we can to clamp down because sooner or later it is going to cost people their lives or it is going to cost us our national security."

That last statement tells you this forum was meaningless political kabuki. In my day military members would resign before lying their ass off to cover the political backside of a traitorous President.

8 9th circuit ruled that the cross at La Jolla, CA violated the Constitution. The Supremes refused to hear the case. The cross is actually protected by a congressional law but the corrupt DOJ is negotiating with the ACLU to remove it despite the law. I say that the people who maintain the cross and all concerned veterans should ignore the DOJ and the courts. If the DOJ and Holder can ignore the law, the people can ignore them. IOW fuck them.

100 Million Poor People In America And 39 Other Facts About Poverty That Will Blow Your Mind

Every single day more Americans fall into poverty. This should deeply alarm you no matter what political party you belong to and no matter what your personal economic philosophy is. Right now, approximately 100 million Americans are either Â“poorÂ” or Â“near poorÂ”.

So 100 million in a nation of 300 million. Absolute bull shit lie.

16 Obama creates yet another useless federal office for promoting education of blacks. It is blatantly unconstitutional besides being useless. Someone must have had relatives and cronies in need of a federal job. And where does he get the authority to create new offices and groups? I guess it is a side effect of blackdemocratium and balless Republicans. Republicans take note, we want this office and all the cronies gone within a month of the asshole Â‘n chief leaving office.

All you need to know if the "officer" is O-6 or above, they have been carefully weeded out by a selection process that includes "political" attrition to ensure that they are lapdogs for political correctness. The selection process is ever more rigorous as you progress beyond O-6.

The libs have been salting the mines of the judiciary, legislatures, legal practice, military, and academia for decades now, to ensure that the nomenklatura have the proper perspective and context with which to rule the proletariat.

33 I read that response by Neopolitan Icecream. She used "vetting" as in "The President was never in any danger." It's just liketalking to a public information officer for a police department: "The SWAT team kicked in a door unannounced and shot a man to death who was trying to get a pistol out of his nightstand to defend himself against home invasion. It turned out it was the wrong house. Do you have anything to say about the shooting?" PIO: "Well the report is that the man was going for a gun before the officers defended themselves. I think you'll all agree that we are grateful no police officers were injured."

That also would fall under the so-called disparate impact doctrine if it were actually enforced fairly.

This is why some key critical things with regard to police should be reformed:

1. Totally eliminate no knock raids

2. Hold officers and supervisors personally responsible for reckless errors and not the taxpayers.

After all, the supposed purpose of suing people for error torts is to make people think twice before doing something stupid. These civil suits against "the city" don't do that. The tax payers did not commit the error.

Thanks for the news roundup, Gabe and Vic. Depressing as hell, but that's Obastard's AmeriKKKa now.

Republicans take note, we want this office and all the cronies gone within a month after the asshole 'n chief leaving office.

To paraphrase, Vic, want in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up first. None of the gutless Judge Smail GOP fucks will do anything about the dog-eating retard's orders, departments or ukases. We're going to be told "We're doing NOTHING, and you'll like it!"

OK - too pissed off and hungover for a long Hollywood story. I should have worked on this last night, but. . .

I'll find the details, but as an adjunct to yesterday's story about Grace "Slut" Kelly, there's also a rumor that Mae West had an illegitimate son whom she kept in contact with while he was raised by other family members. He was told, however, that Mae was his aunt and not his mother. After turning 21 (again, I'm pulling the details from a drink-sodden brain, so bear with me) he decided to visit Aunt Mae. She was pleased to find what a handsome, strong boy he'd become; he was pleased to find his "aunt" a very sexy woman, and -

- well, you can fill in the rest. I'll dig around for the details at home.

Hope all you morons have a wonderful day.

The prez plops himself down and chats up the vets, who are all 'concerned' about health care (and all linked in one way or another with the Obama campaign). One of them reported the prez eats half his cheese sandwhich and his bowl of split pea soup, but leaves the ham in the soup uneaten. Muslim anyone?

71 I, too, had NEVER heard the term "derecho" used in meteorology until the big storm in July. I suspect that it's all part of a government plan to use "inclusive" language, even in technical fields.

The "best" example I have seen of this was a manual published jointly by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Water Environment Federation (and no doubt funded by the US EPA) around 18 years ago. It used the phrase "maintenance hole" in place of the (SEXIST!!1!!!11) word "manhole".

Remember, some social LGBT sexist studies major got payed to dream that one up with YOUR tax dollars. Thank God the actual practitioners of engineering quickly relegated this new term to the realm of derision and denigrating jokes.....

As police and firefighters fold the flag to the sound of marching bagpipers, a skeptical looking Mrs. Obama leans to her husband and appears to say, Â“all this just for a flag.Â” She then purses her lips and shakes her head slightly as Mr. Obama nods.

105 Last night Michael Savage promoted the banning of body armor and automatic weapons sales as a measure to prevent such heinous atrocities as mass murders.

Norway had such laws in place which did nothing to prevent Anders Behring Breivik's mass murder of 77 Norwegian youth at summer camp.

Unrepentant Breivik "enjoys" his very own psychiatric ward in prison.

The best we can do is live by common sense. Adding more laws and regulations leave that many more not being enforced, or enforced capriciously. Rather than force surviving tax payers to provide such as Breivik an entire psychiatric ward for life, give such a convict his choice of immediate execution or life in an isolation cell. It's the ENFORCEMENT of punishment to mass murderers that does more to cause a criminal to reconsider the consequences he will suffer which does more to prevent willful abandon to mayhem than banning the purchase of "bad" guns keeps such a madman at bay. Awarding the criminally incurable with their own hospital ward is a fool's errand.

118 Social Justice is nothing more than code words for legal discrimination against someone else. If people really want to be treated fair and equal then the last thing they should want is laws that discriminate against anybody. But that's not what "social justice" is about. The people who want it are people who want to be treated as something special under the law, to have more rights than others. And we wind up with reverse discrimination which in no way is any kind of "social justice".

125 There is, as of yet, no actual proof that he was even wearing body armor. The receipt the media provided was for tactical clothing--not body armor. If someone responsible (not the media) knows for sure that he had body armor I haven't read about it. The media is just as likely to report that he was wearing an ak-47 military body suit while shooting a glock machine gun with a drum clip.

Only the full auto version of the AK is banned. Semi-auto clones are abundant. And all full auto versions of everything are banned unless you have a special license, so Obie is simply displaying his stupidity.

In any case, full auto is a grossly over-rated tool for a lone person. Your ammo is gone almost immediately, the spray is difficult to control. Burst or semi is ultimately more effective. You're probably better off if your enemy likes to go full auto.

If there'd been, dear God, just one moviegoer with a concealed weapon he could've returned fire and kept the b**ch's head down. Alas, it would've been a stretch for someone to bring in a boot knife. Let's keep track of these hysterical puny fools, put them on probation, and if they stray again giv them the boot from the last vestige of our esteem. This is no mere mistake of fact.

What's funny about all this fretting over full auto weapons is that in real life they are almost NEVER used in crimes. My belief is that "machine guns" are only banned because if used for actual military engagements by competent teams they can be effective against the actual army. That is - having them in public hands would give the public the power to organize and have a chance to carry off a successful rebellion.

Uncle Sam doesn't give a shit if you shoot your neighbor once or 50 times. He doesn't much care about any crime that does not threaten his authority. He does care about keeping his thumb on you, the law-abiding citizen who is concerned about his own freedom.

169 LONDON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney began a foreign tour on Wednesday forced to disavow a report that an adviser had accused President Barack Obama of not understanding the shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage" of Britain and the United States.

A new bit of red meat for the MFM even if it hasn't been confirmed.

Romney expressed ignorance about when a horse owned by his wife, Ann Romney, would be participating in the Olympic sport called dressage.

And they won't let the horses go, will they. It doesn't matter to the MFM what Barry says or does but this is all important to them

188 I'd never even heard of a derecho before four weeks ago; now this is the second derecho warning this week alone. As one of the resident meteorologists, I'd heard or derecho's 25 years ago or so. According to the Severe Prediction Center (emphasis mine): The word "derecho" was coined by Dr. Gustavus Hinrichs, a physics professor at the University of Iowa, in a paper published in the American Meteorological Journal in 1888. Ok, so 120+ years ago. I didn't know they'd gotten enough confidence to try and forecast them beforehand. That is new.

BTW, the same goes for guns. Nobody up here will give up their guns to the government, no matter what the UN says.
