X-Games

Some People really have to share their activities as they are happening. Even if they’re competing in the X-Games, they simply MUST share a selfie of themselves during the competition.

A few more here.

    But why would Romney run again? The answer is simple: Republican establishment donors fear Chris Christie can’t win and Jeb Bush won’t run.

    Romney is the candidate of last resort for Republican big wigs and rolodex men trying to keep the conservative hordes at bay. The fact that we are talking with a straight face about another Romney campaign is a sign of the GOP establishment’s weakness in 2016. That may seem hard to believe given how the establishment dominated the Tea Party in this year’s Senate primaries. But then, consider how the Republican establishment regained and maintained its stranglehold on the presidential nomination after Ronald Reagan.

    OC: I was surprised they didn’t have the selfie that was reportedly taken by Joan Rivers’ doctor, right after they anesthetized her but before they killed her by their incompetence.

    Are the R’s starting to panic or feel some regret about the way they treated conservatives and noticed their money drying up?

    Also, keep the Ebola scare alive so no one will notice all the TB and other respiratory diseases (some of which probably don’t even have names yet) all those illegals imported into our schools. Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

    6: True, but I don’t think TB is as contagious or results in as much mortality. Close the borders, don’t allow flights to or from Africa.

    Yabbut much of the TB coming in over the border is antibiotic-resistant, which has all sorts of bad connotations for other diseases.

    Article didn’t say much about the suspected ebola patient. Where has he been recently and what was he doing?

    Of right-to-carry states, Illinois has the highest registration and training fee, costing an applicant about $650 on average for fingerprinting, taxes and logistics — excluding the price of the gun.

    This results in—-

    Within Cook County, the top five concealed carry ZIP codes per capita are all predominately white, middle class and are in areas that have low crime rates. However, the most violent neighborhoods within the county — all of which are on the South Side of Chicago — are predominately black, where residents earn less than $48,000 annually and hold the fewest concealed carry licenses as a percentage of the population.

    The conclusion is rather obvious: Illinois’ Gun Control efforts are racist.

    If the same data trends occurred in banking and insurance, there might be outcries of “redlining,” denying a group of people access to goods or services because of the color of their skin or income levels. But there’s little public concern expressed so far about the possibility that poor blacks are being disenfranchised from the right to carry a concealed weapon.

    “You really need to ask whether or not politicians are consciously trying to disarm certain groups of people,” said Dr. John Lott, a Second Amendment expert and president of the Crime Prevention Center. “Why do they want a law that primarily disarms blacks and gives guns to only well-to-do whites? Don’t they think it should be equal for everyone to protect their lives?”

    I see locals parroting the same line.

    They shoulda thought about this back when they were calling us Jew haters when we wanted to oust Strauss, and when they said that Thad Cochran was only “reaching out” to minorities when he called Republican Primary voters a buncha raaaaaaacists.

    Obama Has Missed over Half His Second-Term Daily Intel Briefings.

    A new Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report reveals that President Barack Obama has attended only 42.1% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) in the 2,079 days of his presidency through September 29, 2014.

    The Bakken Promised Land

    Wayne had been wheelchair-bound since one night in January of this year, when the temperature fell below zero and he sought shelter in a dumpster. By the time he’d arranged some slabs of wood to hoist himself out, the frost had ravaged his legs. Doctors in a Minot hospital had amputated them.

    The event had horrified community leaders and the members of Wayne’s church, but he was still struggling on the streets. A maintenance man at the Tumbleweed had told Wayne he could try his luck panhandling at the Bison.

    […]Some men said they’d come out here on a promise that they’d make twice as much as they ended up making, or that a firm would pay for their housing, only to wind up sleeping in their trucks through winter. When the oil boom began, everyone was desperate for truckers and they paid them well. Now, there was a glut of trucks, and wages had dropped. A lot of other players wanted their cut.

    I knew better, just knew it, but I looked at the additional selfies anyway.
    There are actually folks that take these selfies? in the words of
    the squawkmeister – ‘we are so screwed’.

    I concur with the headline re: Obama missing intel briefings

    Now if he would just go on vacation for the next 2 years, and take the congress with him, we the people might be able to straighten up some of this mess. BTW, did you happen to notice that the Secret Service, once a well respected organization, is now headed by a woman? No wonder it has fallen apart.

    Well not underplaying the risk of TB, there is good news.

    One third of the world’s population is infected with TB, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but many may not know it. That’s because the vast majority will never get sick with what’s called active disease. It simply stays dormant in their body. It’s a condition known as latent tuberculosis.

    BTW, did you happen to notice that the Secret Service, once a well respected organization, is now headed by a woman? No wonder it has fallen apart.

    I think she is an affirmative action woman. On paper, she has the right background to be Director of the Secret Service. But reading between the lines, I’d say she was promoted at every job based on wouldn’t it look great to pick a woman? Obammy picked her for the SS top job because they were all thinking, maybe we won’t have all these prostitute scandals if a woman is running the shop.

    I didn’t know what to think of the item that she was in the Boy Scouts, until my friend google informed me

    Pierson, who was drawn to the secret service after meeting agents at the Law Enforcement Exploring Programme, a co-ed branch of the Boy Scouts of America, entered the service soon after college, after a spell as an officer with the Orlando police department.

    Who ever heard of co-ed Boy Scouts?

    I heard an audio clip of her being grilled by Trey Gowdy about those bullet holes in the W.H. and found her indistinguishable from all the other bureaucrats like Lerner & Koskinen having to testify lately.

    This charming individual just got 3 consecutive life with out parole sentences for 3 murders. His attorney scumbag says they will appeal. Mebbe they will get lucky and get it reduced to only one life without parole sentence.
    I wonder why the jury didn’t see it his way?

    Of course, a proper legal decision is not a matter of the court “helping” one side or the other. A lawsuit challenging a federal regulation is a commonplace occurrence in this country, not an affront to judicial dignity. A higher-profile case results in greater scrutiny of the decision, which is understandable and appropriate. “[H]igh as those stakes are, the principle of legislative supremacy that guides us is higher still. . . This limited role serves democratic interests by ensuring that policy is made by elected, politically accountable representatives, not by appointed life-tenured judges.”

    In case you didn’t click on the link above, that’s part of the Circuit Court’s ruling on the Pruitt case—-the one that has a good chance of sending Obamacare down the terlit.

    Its unusual for a judge to use language like that, as noted here.

    In concluding his ruling, the judge in Pruitt takes time to note the “apocalyptic language” used by the dissent in Halbig (the DC circuit case in which the majority found similarly that the IRS had acted lawlessly).

    He notes that a lot of these objections have little do with the actual law or the actual guidelines judges follow when interpreting Congress’ law.

    A lot of their objections just seem to be of the flavor, “Well if we let these monsters win, Obama’s policy goals will be thwarted!”

    The judge here chides them for assuming the posture of a political advocate, concerned not with the law but with “helping” certain people (and, coincidentally I’m sure, certain Presidents).

    We are watching the debate. AB just “demanded” I get him a beer. We both know that doesn’t happen when he plays the “Woman get me…” card. He then responded when I gave him a certain finger that “abortion barbie” was talking so he had to drown her out.

    Can’t deny his logic.
