KEEPING THEM RICH: Environmentalists praise the Saudis as an ally in fight against Keystone.

BUNK BED:

Shadow and Diamond have converted our family room sofa into a bunk bed. When not outside, it's mostly where they stay.

ED DRISCOLL: The Left is slowly devouring itself. Kind of reminds me of a scene from Heinlein's Glory Road, where a golem was forced to devour itself. The only difference is that the Left is doing it voluntarily....

I posted on the Jesse Walker link here.

GUN CONTROL: a proper ending to a home invasion.

TIPPING POINT? ISIS burns captured pilot alive.

The only way to stop an evil like ISIS is to crush it -- dramatically, visibly, finally.

The Obama administration should begin recruiting allies and laying plans for an armed assault on the territory controlled by ISIS, with the objective of wiping the group off the face of the Earth, once and for all, in a manner that will deter imitation.

That, I think, will happen. But the leader will be Jordan under its King Abdullah, a warrior. The best the U.S. can hope for is that our pansy President will follow in his footsteps.

ADDED THOUGHT: Every country who arrests or has arrested an ISIS-related terrorist should immediately extradite him/her to Jordan for prosecution under their laws....

FROM ONE WHO SHOULD KNOW: Chris Kyle wasn’t a savage; he killed savages.

EARTH'S INTERPLANETARY DUST traced to comets by Rosetta probe. Comets are 'dusty'. So how do we know they aren't 'interstellar swiffers'?

MANDATORY SICK LEAVE: another way to make the poor poorer. And keep people on the government dole.

OBAMA'S BUDGET: Tax more, borrow more, spend much more.

NOW TELL US how you really feel about liberals:

The word for when a person erects in his mind a false image of a group of people, and sees them only as that image, that false stereotype, and moreover it is a despicable stereotype, one that robs them not just of dignity, but of their very humanity… that word is bigot.

Something rotten, very rotten has happened to the Left just in my lifetime.

They used to be champions of free speech; and now they are its most vehement opponents.

They use to be able to give some sort of argument or logical reason for their position, even if an incorrect argument; now they have no argument, none of them, aside from wild and insincere accusations delivered in a mechanical fashion without any hope of being believed, phony as a three-dollar bill.

They used to be firmly on the side of the workingman; now they hate the workingman as a white racist oppressor.

They used to be in favor of free love and the sexual liberation; now they object to rocket scientists wearing shirts with cartoon women printed on them, they object to science fiction magazines showing a scantily clad warrior princess slaying a monster, and they call all sex rape, and demand strict segregation of women and men. On the same day as these protests, they appear in front of the Pope, writhing on the ground naked with crosses and crucifixes inserted into their vaginas. So the Puritan rules apply arbitrarily, without sense or order, to anyone or no one.

They used to be in favor of Blacks and other minorities; now their disgust for all the impoverished and dispossessed is plain to see. All they want is to keep the Blacks on the plantation, addicted to welfare, addicted to crack, their children aborted, their parents unwed.

They used to be in favor of the Jews, and other minorities; now they kneel to Islamic Jihad at every opportunity, vowing that those who slander the prophet of Islam will no be in the future, and ergo the Left now curse the Jews, and pray daily for the destruction of Israel, and a new Holocaust in the warhead of a Muslim nuke.

What? You say that his the not what the Left says? That they say they are creatures of purity, goodness, and sweetness, who live only to help others out of the depth of their hearts and the depth of your wallet? No, that was the old Left, back when the Left still had some scraps of sanity and intelligence.

They serve Sauron and have forgotten their own names.

They do not say what they are, because, if you listen to them, they say that words mean nothing, that truth is relative, that all civilizations are no better than savagery, that no religion is better than another, and that anything which is not illegal is allowed. So of course they say they are perfect angels: because the word has no meaning to them, no words have meaning, and telling the truth is not correct. Only political correctness is correct.

Now they have gone fullbore barking moonbat mouthfoaming evil.

WHAT NOW? Washington's federally-driven economy has hit the wall. Personally, since I live here, I'd like to see the federal government 'deflated' even more -- much more -- to make the region more livable.

LEFTSPLAINING "political correctness".

A "political posture...that treats identity politics not just as an ideology but as a trump card, that maintains a rigid orthodoxy while regarding itself as subversive, that uses a series of contrived outrages to feed a bureaucratic machine."

Makes sense to me.

HOW BEST TO HANDLE NET NEUTRALITY: Do nothing. Leave well enough alone.

HOW TO FUND 'FREE' COMMUNITY COLLEGE: tax the Democrats' donor base.

FINALLY: Awakening to the damage done by teachers' unions.

A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME: Smaller drones aren't a major threat to aircraft.

YOU GOTTA LOVE THE CANADIANS.

A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale hit the Middle East . Two million Muslims died ..

Iraq and Iran are totally ruined, and the governments don't know where to start providing help to rebuild. The rest of the world is in shock.

The USA is sending troops to help.

Saudi Arabia is sending oil.

Latin American countries are sending supplies.

New Zealand is sending sheep, cattle and food crops.

The Asian continent countries are sending Labor to assist in rebuilding the infrastructure.

Britain is sending medical teams and supplies.

Canada, not to be outdone, is sending two million replacement Muslims.

LIBERATION MYTHOLOGY: For when you have nothing more to lose.

Pat Moynihan told us that “everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” Obama has freed himself from this manner of tyranny. If he dislikes facts, he ignores them and substitutes others, which he finds more attractive.

More proof of my earlier assertion that progressives deal in 'reality', not reality.

ECONOMICS: When breadbags weren't funny. It wasn't that long ago, either.

MORE: Feminist fool failure.

JUST FOR LAUGHS: Go ahead and click here.

BREAKING NEWS: All clear at Lafayette Square in Washington, DC, after suspicious package prompted White House lockdown. I'd be tempted to sent them a load of bullsh*t, except for the facts that (a) everything going to the White House is inspected off-site first, and (b) they already have a more-than-adequate supply.

BOEING AIRCRAFT COMPANY to build the next-generation Air Force One replacement. (President Obama wore the current one out.)

The only other option is the Airbus A-380, manufactured in France. The A-380 might have been appropriate for President Obama, but not for a real President of the United States of America.

THE MAGIC THAT IS OBAMA: 118 "I's" in 33 minutes. Once every 17 seconds; that's gotta be a record -- even for him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
