Here is the New York Times headline for its story on the beheading of journalist James Foley: Militant Group Says It Killed American Journalist in Syria Militants? MILITANTS? I\’m starting to wonder if the term “terrorist” is even in this paper\’s computer system. If ISIS, going through the Arab world killing people everywhere, and beheading those...
Excerpted from Hollie McKay\’s article at foxnews.com: DarrenWilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting ofMichael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations,suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket)fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments beforefiring his gun, a source close to the department\’s top brass...
During Barack Obama\’s short statement about the grisly beheading of journalist James Foley – which he made in office-casual (open shirt, no tie) – did he actually say that ISIS (or ISIL, as he calls it) “speaks for no religion”? In case you don\’t know, “ISIS” stands for “Islamic State In Syria”, and “ISIL” stands for...
Excerpted from Brian Sikma\’s article at mediatrackers.org:. RhoChalmers, who disclosedto the Houston Chronicle yesterday that she was a member of thegrand jury that indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry, was an activedelegate to the Texas Democratic Party convention during grand juryproceedings. Chalmers\’ active participation in Democratic statepolitics is important because she claimed...
I just put on MSNBC for about three minutes. During that time I heard a report that there was less activity in Ferguson, Missouri last night than in previous nights (what is there left to loot? It\’s not like delivery trucks are rolling in to restock the shelves while this is going on). Next, I heard Amanda Terkel, a “reporter” from the Huffington Post...
As someone who, along with my wife, dumped a bucket of ice water on my head for the privilege of donating money to a worthy cause, I laughed when I saw this funny cartoon from Steve Kelley. Maybe you will too:
Jay Nixon, the current Governor of Missouri, was the state\’s Attorney General for 16 years. I have a feeling that the Jay Nixon who existed at that time would be sickened by what the Jay Nixon of today has become. Yesterday, Nixon called for “A vigorous prosecution” of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. He did so before any evidence has been presented to a Grand Jury...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal. I will post it below, without further comment – partly because it doesn\’t need any and partly because it so completely represents what I have already said in this blog: “Let\’snot pretend that our morgues and cemeteries are full of young blackmen because cops are shooting them. The reality is...
Proving, again, that the only meaning of a cease-fire to hamas is that it is an opportunity to reorganize and restock, the terrorists have broken the latest truce, as they did the others, by firing dozens of rockets into southern Israel. Will Israel be told to answer with a “proportionate response”- which means that hamas is dictating when and how much Israel fights? To...
From a just-posted article at NBC News – Saint Louis: TwoSt. Louis city police officers shot and killed a black man who camewithin several feet of them brandishing a knife on Tuesday a fewmiles from the turbulent suburb of Ferguson, authorities said. Acrowd of at least 100 people quickly gathered at the scene. Somepeople chanted, “Hands up! Don\’t shoot!” –...
Michelle Bernard is a former Republican/now “independent” women\’s rights activist who is, among other things, a contributor to the Washington Post, Huffington Post and is a legal analysis for MSNBC (that certainly verifies the “former Republican” part, doesn\’t it?). She also is a Black woman, who, on Monday\’s “Hardball” show, told us...
Nevada\’s John Ralston has provided us with a guest editorial about Hillary Clinton – the real Hillary Clinton as opposed to the gossamer image created and nurtured by her adoring media fans. It seems Ms. Clinton is going to make a speech at the University of Nevada – Las Vegas (UNLV). And she has a stipulation or two in her contract which must be fulfilled or she will not...
Suppose the KKK came to Ferguson, Missouri this week. Suppose it rounded up about 1,000 members and sympathizers, to march down the main street of town chanting “Who was Michael Brown?” “A thief and pothead”, “How do we like him”, “We like him dead”. Do you think they would have been allowed to march? And, if by some amazing...
Here, excerpted from an article at cnn.com, is a version of what happened between Michael Brown and Officer Darren Wilson that was called into Saint Louis\’ radio station KFTK. I assure you that the al sharptons and jesse jacksons of the world would rather you don\’t know a thing about it. But in this blog, we show all sides, so here it is: Accordingto the account on St...
The beyond-execrable al sharpton made a “speech” to a (sickly) enthusiastic crowd in Ferguson, in which he attacked the police, attacked any information about Michael Brown being made public (I didn\’t hear him demand Officer Wilson\’s files be sealed – not that his record is anything but exemplary) and sympathized with the looters and...
