Steven Crowder is getting a camels load of death threats on that youtube video.
Crowder is fearless. Here’s one from a few years ago ….
TOTUS is reading his Squirrel speech
I couldn’t even watch it on mute 😦 I heard he’s going to Oklahoma Sunday, probably to hug another Republican Governor.
I picked a good day to sleep till noon.
Are you going after every picnic basket that’s in Jellystone Park?
I’m in heaven. I’ve gone years (2007-2012) without REM sleep.
I spent several months in too much pain to really sleep. There’s a clock tower in town. Some nights I heard it chime every hour. When I was finally able to sleep again, it did feel like heaven.
Our Nobel POTUS is rationalizing why it’s okay to assassinate people with drones.
Yeah, same govt that audits ppl based on politics is going to target people with drones too. Win.

backtrack lectures again about how we have to accept muslims. shame he does not lecture them on accepting us.
My thoughts exactly.
Mine too Mary. 🙂
He preaches tolerance to the wrong people. Some states have even had to pass bills “banning Sharia law” which would make honor killings and beheadings in the name of Allah legal. I can’t believe we’ve had to go that far. 😦
HONK! So when is a world leader going to get up and talk about the lack of respect for Western culture? When are the burka-and-sharia pushing maniacs going to be told they are lacking in cultural sensitivity?
Here it comes….closing Guantanamo again.

Code Pink loves him again. Ugh.

Well, no. History will pass judgement on YOU using your IRS to punish anyone who didn’t agree with you. History will pass judgement on YOU intiimidating the press and suppressing free speech.
This little ole speech ain’t gonna fix all that.
Anybody else notice that when home-grown terrorists rationalize their behavior, they refer to Your country (US and UK) and never assume ownership of their own? Why does it become MY country when you hate it and YOURS when you don’t? Wonder if Michelle is still proud of her country for the first time since her husband justifies the use of drones to kill her country people?
Heckler is Medea Benjamin of Code Pink.
Naming your kid Medea – no wonder she’s in Code Pink. Tsk.
He’s just trying to change the subject and “appear” noble.
Ain’t working.
Exactly. It was a bullshit speech. He is trying to portray himself as thinking great thoughts and pondering the world’s problems. A lot of it didn’t even make sense and he was doing that choppy speech pattern that means he was peeved. More bait and switch. Next week he will opine on energy policy or something else he doesn’t understand.

GOP’s Chambliss: Obama speech will be ‘viewed by terrorists as victory’
The senior Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee said President Obama’s national security speech will be “viewed by terrorists as a victory.”
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) made the remarks in a statement released moments after Obama’s speech. He focused his criticism on Obama’s plans to move toward closing the Guantanamo Bay detainee camp.
“We knew five years ago that closing Guantanamo was a bad idea and would not work,” Chambliss said. “Yet, today’s speech sends the message to Guantanamo detainees that if they harass the dedicated military personnel there enough, we will give in and send them home, even to Yemen.”

With administrative hearings set for two months after the next Super Bowl scheduled for Santa Clara.
OT I know these ladies carry around more residual testosterone than backtrack, so I keep hoping one of them will rise up and smack him down. It’s not like once you get away from the DC whirlwind being a faithful, card carrying Democrat has any intrinsic value anymore.

No. Nothing new here. But there is a squirrel getting ready to cross the road, so better watch out for it!
After reading those letters it would not surprise me if Ms. Lois ends up joining thousands of other women who “did nothing wrong” in federal prison. The questions go far beyond the pale and methinks an “example” will be needed. Thank you, ma’am, for volunteering.

For many years now TPers have been segregating incumbent ‘pubs into EGOPs, RINOs and others. Once “others” achieve political parity you’re going to see a tidal wave (instead of merely a sea-change) in DC. The
idiotspoliticians you mentioned won’t even know what hit them. Can’t wait. Popcorn, anyone?lerner was asked to resign and refused to do so before she was put on paid leave

new jury for jodi aries penality. current jury deadlocked
I don’t think juries should be able to decide penalties. It’s too much responsibility. Somebody could be guilty as all heck, but if one person doesn’t believe in the DP, the jury will dead lock.
shep is furious
when you are questioned to go on a jury you are asked can you vote for the death penalty if asked to do so.
I have never seen him so furious. books will be written on this one
Shep can kiss my ass. A juror being able to vote for the death penalty does NOT mean they MUST vote for the death penalty — it is 100% within their perview to decide if the DP is warrented. He should learn that distinction before opining. Second, with all the women murdered and/or beaten daily by their husbands/boyfriends which get ignored by the MSM I’m getting really pissed off at this obsession by the MSM on this one out-of-the-ordinary case where it’s the woman who killed her boyfriend and the bloodlust displayed to kill her.
Angie , you noticed that?? Why else the obsession , man kills woman/ child /family happens all the time . Woman kills man , we get an MSM obsession .
Thinking of the ramifications here….if a juror decides mid-trial to no longer support a penalty, how confident can society be of the same juror’s prior decision as to guilt or innocence?
You are thinking of it wrong –there is a reason there are 2 separate parts to a death penalty trial — the guilt phase and (if convicted) the penalty phase. A juror voting against imposing the death penalty has nothing to do with the guilt phase because if being found guilty meant the death penalty was automatic then there would be no need for a penalty phase (the penalty phase isn’t just for show, you know — at least it shouldn’t be, but every is talking about it in this case as if it is). Furthermore, a juror deciding not to vote for the death penalty in the penalty phase doesn’t mean that juror changed their mind on their ability to impose the death penalty if warranted — it means they decided — after going through the penalty phase — that it wasn’t warranted.
Penalties are the most severe part of the trial system. Since the justice system is supposed to value the wisdom of a jury of one’s peers, they are the ones who should make the decision. Sometimes people get light sentences.
It’s usually the judge who decides penalties — death penalty cases are the exception for exactly that reason — one person should not have the power/responsibility of putting another to death (don’t tell Obama –you know how he loves his drones). By the same token if the evidence isn’t convincing enough to get all 12 jurors on board then the death penalty should not be imposed.
I find it striking that there is more outrage among people that this woman might not get the death penalty than for the fact that the Feds are not even going to pursue the death penalty for Jahar the Boston bomber who killed 4 and maimed scores of others
Thinking further about this. “Deadlock” here only means they can’t agree. Guilt is already determined. What they are deciding is punishment. What possible societal value exists for a juror to refuse to budge on voting for “nothing but the DP”? There’s serious hubris or animus involved here on the part of one or more jurors. NOTHING is completely doubt free. If the DP wasn’t supported by all a compromise was the reasonable move. That some couldn’t, speaks volumes. I now doubt the “impartiality” of their decision. Something stinks in AZ.
Sorry, angienc, didn’t see your 7:09 pm on my tiny screen.

I’ve been trying hard to avoid too much news of late, but has anyone else seen this? Supposedly there are diplomats from Libya getting ready to drop some bombshells: That Amb Stevens was in Benghazi to try to get back stinger missiles that had been given to Islamic insurgents NOT by the CIA (as had been rumored), but by the State Dept. itself.
This is going to get very very nasty for Hillary if true. Especially if we are the ones who armed the very same group that killed our ambassador and staff.
http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2013/05/21/pjm-exclusive-ex-diplomats-report-new-benghazi-whistleblowers-with-info-devastating-to-clinton-and-obama/
Article also claims revelations forthcoming re: pressure put on Gen. Ham of Africa Command to stand down and NOT try to rescue our personnel.
If so, that was a pure political decision – let’s keep it all low key and blame a demonstration (hard to do if we are sending in troops to rescue them.)
If so, the act of not helping them during the attack was a DELIBERATE thing, and Obama is a fucking cold-blooded murderer in my book. He knowingly sacrificed those people for his political fortunes.
If so, then Hillary knew it (there is no way she didn’t), and let it happen.
Blood on their hands all around, if it’s true. Because you will never convince me the decision not to send in help was a tactical one. No way. It was entirely CYA for Obama and Hillary both.
If true, Obama not only did not send help, he actively forbade any help being given.
I despise that man. Utterly.
I am right there with you.
AMEN and AMEN!
Also, when the fucking CIA passes on the chance to arm some insurgents, because even the CIA thinks it’s crazy and risky, you might wanna step back. Because if it’s too hot for the CIA (not known for their stellar judgement) to touch it, it’s prolly a BAD IDEA. But State Dept did it anyway, after the CIA refused.
Also in the article: explains a lot about why Petraeus was railroaded with the affair leak and gotten rid of. He knew that his agency had turned this insane plan down, and WHY they thought it was too risky. He knew who these maniacs were that they were proposing to arm with missiles after he refused to do so. He knew.
Regarding Jesus versus Mohammed, it really is pretty astounding how much favor is shown towards women in the bible. When you think about how women were perceived back in biblical times, it’s not much different then how they are perceived now in the ME. In spite of those conditions, the bible (and Jesus) really made an extraordinary effort to present women in an equal light.
Some will disagree because of the “not teaching” and “elder qualification” rules, but as a youth I was dragged to several Aimee Semple McPherson services and intuitively understood the sexual tension going on. No matter how well intentioned they may be, women have no power to control the subject or rapidity of male imaginationings. Of course most women can’t admit this to themselves, thus the eternal battle rages.
Yup. The video made me realize that too. Remember also that Muhammad came after Jesus and yet so much morerepressive.
Also even compared to Confucianism, where women are always below men. Christianity is really a big leap forward in women’s status in history.

democrats starting to eat their own
Let the Democratic cannibalism commence 🙂 , I am stocking up on popcorn
I hope they all get indigestion.
There’s a civil (or uncivil) war going on in the Democratic Party. You have the Obama Crime Syndicate who is most interested in bringing Chicago style political machinations to the nation. Then there are the Democrats who know that Obama is going to decimate their party for years to come, especially since 2010 destroyed their back bench. In the middle are the party hacks who are too scared to question Obama because of retaliation.
Everyone else is making popcorn.
