West Hollywood Inundated With AMAZING Pro-Gun, Pro-Gay Posters

The Daily Wire

. . . "If one picture is worth a thousand words, the series of posters surely represented an eloquent plea to the LGBT community and other Americans to stand as one (thus the "Don't Tread On Me symbol of the American Revolution), as well as a marked attempt to encourage the LGBT community to eschew their traditional pacifist role and take up arms to defend themselves, in the manner of Americans from the Minutemen of the Revolutionary War to the armed service members who defend American values to this very day. 

"In pictorial fashion, the poster truly represented a call to arms." . . .

Obama: Why Do People Think Our Liberty Requires These Repeated Tragedies? Arming Victims ‘Defies Common Sense’

. . . "Obama has asserted his support for an assault weapons ban in the wake of the massacre at a gay night club that left 49 dead. The perpetrator was a Muslim who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group, which executes homosexuals. Obama did not delve into those details in his remarks.

"He expressed support for the news that the Senate would hold votes on preventing individuals on the terror watch list from buying weapons.

“ 'I truly hope that senators rise to the moment and do the right thing,” Obama said. “I hope that senators who voted no on background checks after Newtown have a change of heart, and then I hope the House does the right thing and helps end the plague of violence that these weapons of war inflict on so many young lives.' ” . . .

Why Speaking the Truth About Islamic Terrorism Matters

Anybody else out there sick of being scolded by this president?

Barack Obama Lectures the Nation About Islam

. . . "It did not take long before the media realized that none of its preferred narratives was operative.

"There was a flicker of hope that Mateen might at least be a gay-hating nearly white male (shades of George Zimmerman, the "white Hispanic"). But, no, although Mateen himself might, according to his ex-wife and others, have been gay, he had pledged himself to ISIS. He had also, in fact, attracted the interest of the FBI. It had interviewed him twice but decided that there was nothing to see here, move along please.

"In most respects, this act of Islamic slaughter was a matter of déjà-vu all over again. There was the wrinkle that the Pulse, unlike the nightclub in Bali or the concert hall in Paris, was patronized mostly by gays. But homosexuals are only one of many groups that Islamists wish to exterminate. (Hence the Arab slogan "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people," which can be seen and heard through the Middle East. First we'll get rid of the Jews, then the Christians.)

"And this brings me to the chief source of my nausea in response to the massacre in Orlando: the rancid, untruthful, politically correct nonsense emitted by the MSM and their chief pet, Barack Obama." . . .

Think Computers, Not Guns — Likely Terrorists Can Be Profiled and Stopped

Our national-security apparatus could learn from Target department stores.

National Review  . . . "Target, for instance, uses analytics to examine people’s purchasing patterns and guess which coupons they might want. Then they add some coupons they don’t think you’ll want, just so you don’t feel cyber-stalked. Target’s algorithm can, among other things, diagnose a female shopper’s pregnancy and predict her likely due date with startling accuracy. (First comes love, then comes the unscented hand lotion, then comes the Target baby carriage, available now for $149.99.) That’s just from analyzing one person’s purchases at one particular store. 

"If a department-store chain can do that, can the information-rich government really not find terrorists and homicidal maniacs before they snap? " . . .

TRUMP IS RIGHT, THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON

PowerLine  "Donald Trump has been excoriated by the Washington Post and other leftist organs for saying that when it comes to President Obama’s weak and ineffectual anti-terrorism policy, “there’s something going on.” Something clearly is, not just with anti-terrorism policy, but with most of the administration’s foreign and national security policy.

"Obama won’t utter the words radical Islamic terror (or similar locutions), as even Hillary Clinton has. Obama runs the perverse “Countering Violent Extremism” program. Obama has enormously enriched Iran, our worst and most threatening enemy among foreign states. Obama has cozied up to Cuba, our worst enemy in this Hemisphere, without obtaining any meaningful concessions. Obama has been belligerent towards Israel, our best friend in the Middle East.

"Obama overthrew a Libyan government that had tried to align itself with the U.S. and he did nothing to stop that state’s descent into dangerous instability following the overthrow. Obama backed an unpopular Muslim Brotherhood controlled government in Egypt and was outraged when that government was overthrown and replaced by one sympathetic to the U.S. and its interests.

‘We are coming for your guns’: Liberals and the Orlando jihad murders

"Let us never forget that if things are illegal, they're impossible!"

 . . . "If it takes a thousand more terrorist attacks, we will keep exploiting them until you disarm.  America will be as free of weapons as Pulse was.  Only then will there be peace, once and for all.  We've had enough!  We are coming for your guns, Republicans.  What could go wrong?"

Definitely Stupid

. . . "Two interesting items in the last few hours explain take the debate over whether president Obama's failures are due to malice or incompetence in opposite directions.  Megyn Kelly's recent Tweet which says, "in  the middle of #Orlando investigation, the Obama admin quietly announced it’s increasing the number of refugees coming to US" would appear to settle the issue decisively in favor of malice." . . .

Who cares if Omar Mateen was gay or not?

Does it change anything if Omar Mateen was gay?  . . . "It makes no difference if he was 100% straight and hated gays and wanted to kill them because of his Muslim beliefs or a self-loathing closeted homosexual who hated gays and wanted to kill them because his sexual urges conflicted with his Muslim faith.  Either way, his Muslim religion is the motivating factor.  

"It would be significant only if he weren’t a practicing Muslim or had disavowed his faith and then massacred his fellow homosexuals out of pure hatred or self-loathing, in which case it would be prosecuted as a hate crime or murder under relevant state or federal laws versus as an act of terrorism by a radical Muslim.  To date, there is no evidence that his hatred and motivations were unrelated to and indeed untethered from his religion." . . .

While rational people all over the world understand that Mateen’s hatred of gays– to the point of brutally killing them – is rooted in radical Islam and bears blame, our leaders are blaming everything but radical Islam.  This willful blindness is nothing new.  It is how 102 fellow human beings came to be victims in Orlando in the first place.

Obama has ordered flags at half-staff more than any president in history

USA Today

"With his tenure in office marked by terror attacks and mass shootings, President Obama has reached a sad but remarkable milestone in his presidency: He has ordered the lowering of the nation's flags to half-staff more often than any president in history.

"On Sunday, Obama extended that unenviable streak even further, ordering all flags at federal buildings and ships at sea to be flown at half-staff to honor the 49 victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting.

"Those flags will remain at half-staff until sunset Thursday, meaning that the nation will spend most of National Flag Week — proclaimed by Obama in a separate order last Friday— with the stars and stripes in a mournful pose.

"Since 2009, Obama has issued 66 proclamations to fly the flag at half-staff, exceeding President George W. Bush's 58 and Bill Clinton's 50, according to a USA TODAY analysis of presidential proclamations." . . .
