Blimp Broke Loose

(Image by Larry Wright)

A few days ago, a military blimp broke free of its moorings, causing a media sensation. 

 

While the wayward blimp cause massive power outages in Pennsylvania, at least the whole affair didn't end like this...

Happy "Hillaween"

For this weekend's humor break, I thought I'd scare-up some Halloween-themed political cartoons.

 

While Hillary is scarring the competition, on both sides of the political aisle...

Not Everyone Wants to Board the Dhimmi Express

 I didn't watch the GOP Debates on CNBC the other night.  It doesn't seem to have radically changed any of the candidates' standings, but has increased the disdain us like-minded folks have towards CNBC.

 

Townhall has the CNBC Debate Highlights.

 

Instead of watching the debates, for the past couple of days I've been reading-up on Europe's crumbling Ramparts of Civilization. 

 

While Germany is determined to lead the rest of the EU down the Road of Decline, other countries are attempting to apply the brakes.

 

Poles went to the poles and said "nie" (no) to mass immigration by voting-in conservatives by a landslide.

 

And while Western European governments appear to be more concerned about their concerned citizens (see led image), rather than the No-Go Zones in their midst, as this Swedish journalist discovered; the not-everyone's-from-Syria "Syrian refugees" have learned to game the Euro-Welfare System.

(Just substitute "American" for any European group in the above image).

Apparently, the young lads entering the Eurozone are all 17 years old, thus granting them the same status as German children.  (Mark Steyn also comments on the destruction of archeological sites, doubling as not-so Looney Tunes gallows).

Meanwhile, back on this side of the Atlantic, author Gwynne Dyer attempted to sound the "all-is-well" call among a sympathetic crowd in Toronto, Canada.  The problem was, he was matched-up with Farzana Hassan who rained on Gywnne's Dhimmi Parade and opposed his terrible advice for Muslim women panicking about ISIS.

Thanks to 24/7 news coverage, unbiased or otherwise, YouTube and social media, we're getting a glimpse of what the Muslim Conquests were really like, and exactly what Islam has to offer us non-Muslims.

According to Real Clear Politics' polling data, Team "Jeb!" is struggling to hold 5th place among the Pachyderm Parade. 

 

But according to super-PAC-er Mike Murphy, the current front runners are irrelevant...

 

...despite salaries among Team Jeb! being cut and staffers let go.

While last week's Back to the Future Day was enjoyable; many folks, myself included, would rather not see a Back to the Future Presidential Election...

Blood for Oil and Terror

 Reading the following passage:

 

...Blood for Oil, politicians fighting wars to win elections, corporate conflicts of interest and even private military companies...

 

One would think it was some leftist whining about Dubya's "Bush Lied, Kids Died" war in Iraq.

 

Not so.

 

This is from Daniel Greenfield's article, Hillary's Libyan Lies: Muslim Brotherhood, Terror and Dirty Money.  (The selected portion of the quote can be found on the fourth paragraph from the bottom of the article).

 

Family members of the Americans slain at Benghazi recall how Hillary perpetuated her lies after the attack.

 

While the next of kin still look for closure, the hearings drag on...

A Firesale of Facts on Benghazi

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

One of the details revealed by the discovery of Hillary's secret server was that as the assault on our Benghazi consulate was unfolding, she confided to family and friends that it was a planned terrorist attack. 

As Sharyl Attkisson put it:  to Hillary, there are public facts and private facts.

While Hillary's appearance before the Benghazi Committee was proceeding, leftists started complaining how politicized the whole affair was.

To which, S.E. Cupp replies:  Yes, the Benghazi Hearings are political. So what?

And finally, at least for today's post, Mark Steyn closes the political-public vs. private facts-loop and reminds us that Hillary initiated the politicization of the Benghazi attack.

Even this late in the game, Hillary attempted to laugh off the late Chris Stevens' "entrepreneurial spirit."

She can laugh all she wants to (as long as she's not occupying the Oval Office), but Hillary owns the war in Libya.

More lies lay ahead...

Hillary in the Hotseat

First, a hopefully final note on the intrusion/hacking I reported in my last post. 

It looks like the Indonesian gambling spam, courtesy of Read List from "Thrillofadventure" has been purged from my blog's Read List.  I hope this hasn't affected any of my readers' systems.  Thank you for your patience.

Yesterday, Hillary's appearance before the Congressional Benghazi Committee dominated the news.

Townhall provided a live open thread throughout the day, as I'm sure other news agencies did. 

The tea leaves and auguries on what was said/what was meant will be read by commentators and political observers for days to come.

For now, we have Trey Gowdy's opening salvo and Hillary now claiming she didn't blame the Benghazi attack on a YouTube video.

More (lies) to follow...

Coexisting With Ticking Clocks

First a note on the possible hacking of my blog:

I haven't received any feedback from Google yet.  It appears that the Indonesian gambling sites listed in my Admin Page's Read List are being "phased out."  I'm hoping this means the password change has locked out any additional intrusions.  Nor do these sites appear anywhere on the reader's view of this blog and my own computer's anti-virus hasn't detected anything.  However, I can't guarantee that my blog is 100% clear.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The intrusion occurred shortly after I wrote this post last night...

Well Ahmed the Clock-That-Looks-Like-A-Bomb Maker finally got to see Our Dear Leader.  The good news is the kid and his family are moving to Qatar.

The clock's counting down on the Obama Presidency and Joe Biden is still being coy about whether or not he'll run.  But a source in Biden's Camp said I thinks it's fair to say something will break this week.

Whatever that means.  

At least Joe's may enter the race as opposed to the sanest Donkey Drove candidate, Jim Webb, who dropped out.

Meanwhile, in The Great White North, the clock ran out of Canada's Conservative Party as Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party was elected Prime Minister. 

Here, south of the Great White Border, an election went awry.  Oh nothing high stakes, like a prime minister's position, just a middle school election in San Francisco.  Apparently, the school administration withheld the election results because the winners weren't "diverse enough." 

While election results in the New World are being analysed, back in the Old World Muslim migrants have brought their sexual pathologies with them.

So what does rapes and honor killings have to do with middle school and national elections?

The short answer is:  Critical issues aren't being reported by the mainstream media, while the PC Commissars revoke reasonable assumptions, like clocks that look like bombs, and middle school elections.

Mark Steyn does an excellent job of connecting the diversity dots in his Clock Tick On article.

Possible Blogger Account Hack

I think my Blogger account has been hacked.

On my Blogger homepage there's usually a Reading List displaying the latest posts from the blogs I follow.

About an hour ago, instead of seeing other bloggers' activities, I now have a list of Indonesian gambling sites.

I filed a complaint to Google, which runs Blogger, along with initiating a password change.

I'm not tech savvy enough to determine whether reading any of my blogs will cause any virus or malware to be transferred, but I thought I'd transmit this warning.

I hope to get this resolved soon.

Please accept my apologies.

PC Commissars Constraining Free Speech

(Image from the D.C. Clothesline)

Last week, John Stossel hosted Censored in America on FOX News. 

I was able to watch the full episode, which should be available on-line in the upcoming days (weeks?).

Mark Steyn commented about his appearance on the show, and then goes on to expose a family of "warm-mongers" in his Mason-Dippin Line article.

Meanwhile, John Stossel added a warning about what we don't know (but need to) about censorship in the US.

The clamp-down on free speech doesn't have to be severe enough to make the headlines--at least on FOX News and on conservative websites.  One of my Facebook friends complained that a politically-charged post wasn't just deleted from her page, but also from the pages she found it on.

It's amazing how rants and snuff videos from our jihadi enemies manage to slip by the PC Commissars, but mild reproaches from centrists and conservatives are deemed unfit for social media.

A Root Cause of Terrorism

I don't always resort to crude humor in my posts, especially on a Sunday morning. 

 

But in the case of ISIS terrorists I'm happy to make an exception. 

 

Now every time I see footage of a terrorist enthusiastically waving an Islamic State flag, I'll think of this "translation."
