    RESIGN NOW: Lying Sheriff Israel Said ‘Put Allah First’ As Video Exposes SICK SECRET

    Americans are calling for the immediate resignation of Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel after shocking evidence proves his actions led to the deaths at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. A video has been found of Israel meeting with certain Islamic leaders where he admits to “putting Allah first,” assuring them of new policies that will blow your mind.

    The Shocking History Of Sexual Misconduct Within James Comey’s FBI

    The Department of Justice inspector general sanctioned at least 14 FBI employees since 2014

    The majority of sexual impropriety occurred under former FBI Director James Comey

    Sexual misconduct at the FBI went further than Lisa Page and Peter Strzok

          And we haven’t heard from them yet because, as he said yesterday on CNN’s SOTU, he isn’t in charge of asking the questions. He delegated that to a review board and there are “hundreds of statements” that have to be given. Heaven knows he doesn’t have time for that. Most likely he’s in the process of coaching his leo’s in how to respond to every possible question posed to them. CYA at its finest.

      I think they have had a plan for a long time to run her, and especially after Hillary lost. The question is, would she do it? And let’s face it, she wouldn’t have to do anything as president. Just bring back the real president Valerie and all her commie pals to once again run, I mean “destroy”, everything.

      But I do think she is lazy and probably doesn’t want to give up all the international vacations. So, maybe not.

      • Jadzia says:
        February 26, 2018 at 9:08 am

        I cannot imagine how the Dems could justify running her. Say what you want about HRC, but she was a practicing lawyer for many years, a shadow member of Bill’s cabinet who worked on health care reform (regardless of how you feel about her ideas, it is at least a Real Issue), a Senator, and a Secretary of State. She had REAL JOBS. Michelle Obama stopped practicing law after only a few years, had that makework position that was never filled at UC Hospitals after she left, and her issue as First Lady was getting kids to eat their vegetables. This is not the stuff that presidenting is made of. I mean, I am old enough to remember all the sneering at Sarah Palin because she started out as the mayor of a town that wasn’t very big, but then she at least became a governor. Other than IOKIYAD, there just is no way to run Michelle with a straight face, unless the message is going to be that Barack is going to be the power behind the throne. It would be like running Laura Bush for the presidency–love her, but no, not as a president.

        • taw46 says:
          February 26, 2018 at 9:18 am

          I don’t think the Dems care about any of that. Oh, they do when it’s a Republican, but it’s always different when they do it. They care about the votes, and they believe she has the star power to get them. And of course the intention would always be Barack as the power. Just my opinion.

    • elliesmom says:
      February 26, 2018 at 7:21 am

      The Democrat’s candidate in 2020 is likely to be a sacrifice play. Give everyone a chance to become a household in the primaries, but then choose the person who will be grateful for the opportunity to run a losing campaign. It may be someone older, like Bob Dole was, who will never run again but enjoy the honor, or a young person who may live to run again in time. Unless the economy tanks in the next two years, Trump will be formidable to beat. If a war breaks out, people are reluctant to change leaders in the middle of it unless it looks like we’re losing badly. I don’t see Trump ever playing capture the hill today, and then give it back to the enemy tomorrow like we’ve been waging war lately. He’d be in it to win it. A bad economy is the only that would sink him, I think.

    In hindsight, “Dr. Royal recommends that you get two kittens instead of just one” was probably the wrong response to my husband saying we had gotten the house. He didn’t even know there was a plan to get ONE kitten, ha ha.

      • Jadzia says:
        February 26, 2018 at 9:31 am

        Mama has fallen in love with a couple of bengal kittens. I looked into shelter cats first, of course, but for some reason it’s virtually impossible to adopt from a shelter here. (Like, nobody answers your phone calls or emails, they tell you a cat is available, then they say no, it’s not, why would you think that, and it’s just piles and piles of French bullshit.)

        • Mt.Laurel says:
          February 26, 2018 at 12:13 pm

          Bengals? oh my. You might as well deed that mezzanine over to them right now. And plan on one of the oversized hamster wheels and a huge cat tree and lots of other fun stuff to keep them happy. They have a LOT of energy.

          We have had a few given up to our rescue and it very hard to find a foster placement because they are a lot of work and need space. Having had them for short periods while waiting a foster home (they do not do well with other cats in a small condo), I would add, other than making sure you do your homework they need very specific social and medical and dietary care, is make sure they are pet level (Generally at least an F4 – as in at LEAST four generations from the wild). Some Bengals (F1 – F3) are too close to wild to adapt well to people and indoor living.

          I can say this is probably a bad time of year for kittens just about anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere – so it could be they do not have many up for adoption right now but they have very poor frontline people if they cannot take inquires and respond honestly. As in, right now we have very few (if any) youngsters but kitten season is just around the corner and we can put you on list to be notified when we start taking in new litters to foster.

          • Jadzia says:
            February 26, 2018 at 10:02 pm

            I did know about making sure the car is at least fourth generation! On the shelter thing, it’s not a seasonal thing— I pursued cat adoption for the better part of a year and just made no progress. It’s completely bizarre. Thanks for the other tips on the breed! I’m going to take at least a year to research and prepare. The new house is 3500 square feet, and the other building is that size too, so we do have a good amount of room.

      • Jadzia says:
        February 26, 2018 at 9:33 am

        Darn, I wish I could edit. It has taken almost ten years to get over the loss of my sweet cat. One of the things I loved about him the most was that he was basically a dog trapped in the body of a cat. Still doing research, but apparently bengals also have this personality trait: they are more bonded to their humans, more communicative, more playful–over and over again I see them described as having a personality that is kind of between a cat personality and a dog personality. They are also freaking gorgeous.

            I had a big fluffy gray cat that supposedly was 3/4 Persian, 1/4 Himalayan. (It looked like the cat in the movie pet cemetery so I’ve been told)…….just looked that up, my cat’s fur was much longer but otherwise yes. That cat was definitely a dog trapped in a cat’s body. He even growled at stuff when looking out the window. Biggest lump of a lap cat there ever was.

            Why not get a dog if you want a loyal pet? You could get a kitten and a puppy, if they are raised together they will get along.

            On the get a dog thing–we DO have a very sweet, patient dog, who is now past the puppy stage but not anywhere near the age that she would have trouble adjusting to some new friends (she’s about 3). She is perfect except for the fact that she has a brain the size of a walnut, which was pretty surprising given that she’s half Lab and half Saint Bernard. Her latest thing is that she goes BSC every night around 7 because our current dining room has a glass ceiling and she barks at the dog in the ceiling, aka her reflection. She remains twice as big as our daughters, and her one bit of smartness is that she plays tug of war and such with them MUCH more gently than she does with the bigger members of the house.

            I am both a dog person AND a cat person, that’s the kind of house where I grew up.

          • Jadzia says:
            February 26, 2018 at 10:23 pm

            When I was in high school, we had a dumb dog and a smart cat, and they were so funny together. The cat would LIE IN WAIT for the dog on one of the dining room chairs, and when the dog would innocently walk by, BAM! The cat would box her ears.

            This went on for years, at least once a day. The dog never figured it out. At least she was sweet.

        • Jadzia says:
          February 26, 2018 at 10:15 pm

          Yep, Lyn. I’m looking at a breeder whose company name is Glitterglam, which is a silly name but they seem to have a pretty good reputation. But again, the research is just beginning.

    In the nineteen-sixties, gun ownership as a constitutional right was less the agenda of the N.R.A. than of black nationalists. In a 1964 speech, Malcolm X said, “Article number two of the constitutional amendments provides you and me the right to own a rifle or a shotgun.” Establishing a constitutional right to carry a gun for the purpose of self-defense was part of the mission of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, which was founded in 1966. “Black People can develop Self-Defense Power by arming themselves from house to house, block to block, community to community throughout the nation,” Huey Newton said.

But I went on pretty much no sleep for days and days. It was terrifying. It was scarier than the Innocence of Muslims case, which also had me pretty paranoid, with the other lawyer living in an American city with law enforcement (and, tbh, an arsenal in her home) and me sitting out there in the middle of nowhere, getting weird calls in the middle of the night from numbers in northern Africa.

        I’ve been reading all the stuff coming out of these students, and I kind of feel sorry for them. I was a pretty obnoxious, know it all, ideological teen who spoke up in class about topics in a rather frank way that left many of my classmates sitting there with their mouths open. It’s really only been the gradual evolution of my roles in life that have made me have second thoughts about so many things I was absolute about at 17…getting older, having kids, suffering loss, struggling financially, etc, etc. The biggest difference was in my time there weren’t school shootings and there was no such thing as a 24/7 “new” cycle or social media. I always told my kids that rather than reacting immediately electronically that it would be better to take some time to consider your feelings and reactions – like I had to do wayyyy back when.

    On the bus today a group of people were bitching about Trump. He is gonna take the welfare away. I felt angry. Not angry with them at democrats and social justice warriors. There lives seemed so bleak. Zero respect for boundaries, limited imagination. Not a lot of purpose( it seemed to me) Just getting by and getting high. There is a large segment of the underclass here that’s going to be left in the dust by new immigrants who aren’t asking for more free stuff. Who teach their kids to strive. These people blame society for everything. I think it’s very sad. Was mid afternoon and I was returning from diabetes school(looks like I am pre – diet and exercise is all the meds I need). Perhaps best way to describe the atmosphere is that if da brat had been with me I would have gotten off. Was mixed race and dirt assed poor. Not poor in dollars, but in spirit. Gut wretching to see so much waste.

    I missed this from the other day. So no wonder most people won’t say anything to the Parkland activists, Twitter threatened to ban people.

    “Shortly after Twitter released this statement, Parkland student-turned-anti-gun-activist, David Hogg unleashed a boycott rampage from his Twitter account.
    Hogg is targeting the NRA and any corporation that has a partnership with the NRA.
    So if you dare refute Hogg, you will be taken off of Twitter. See how this is all coming together?

    David Hogg unleashed boycott-the-NRA rampage on Twitter targeting every corporation he could think of that partners with the NRA and one by one, the corporations acquiesced to Hogg and severed ties.

    If you think this is just a coincidence, we have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.
    This was a coordinated attack on firearms and the NRA.”
