US pilot to Iranian pilot; “you really ought to go home”

No, this is not that old joke you may have heard before. This story comes with sources.
U.S. F-22 stealth fighter pilot taunted Iranian F-4 Phantom combat planes over the Persian Gulf

This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here  "The Washington Times reports the story of an encounter between a US pilot and an Iranian jet that was closing in a US drone flying in international air space last Spring. The Aviationist recounts the background;

The Aviationist reports that in March a U.S. MQ-1 drone came close to being intercepted by an Iranian F-4 Phantom combat plane, but the Iranian aircraft stopped short after a warning by an American pilot.
“He [the Raptor pilot] flew under their aircraft [the F-4s] to check out their weapons load without them knowing that he was there, and then pulled up on their left wing and then called them and said ‘you really ought to go home,’” [Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, Air Force chief of staff] said.

Ann Coulter   "There's been another mass shooting by a crazy person, and liberals still refuse to consider institutionalizing the dangerous mentally ill.

"The man who shot up the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, Aaron Alexis, heard voices speaking to him through the walls. He thought people were following him. He believed microwave ovens were sending vibrations through his body. There are also reports that Alexis believed the Obamacare exchanges were ready to go."

UPDATED: Political correctness; a sword hanging over Western nations

Danish-Iranian artist convicted of racism   "Firoozeh Bazrafkan was charged with racism after writing in a blog entry, published in Jyllands-Posten newspaper in December 2011, that she was "very convinced that Muslim men around the world rape, abuse and kill their daughters".
"She added: "This is, according to my understanding as a Danish-Iranian, the result of a defective and inhumane culture – if you can even call it a culture at all. But you can say, I think, that it is a defective and inhumane religion whose textbook, the Koran, is more immoral, deplorable and crazy than manuals of the two other global religions combined."  Full interview
Then there are comments by PC's useful idiots:
I’ll bet your references are movies like ‘’Argo’’ or ‘’not without my daughter’’, plus BBC, CNN and etc! I’m not a religious person and I believe no good would come out of any religion whatsoever but I can’t see the differences between American, Iranian, Russian… governments, not even al-qaeda and their logics! All of them are torturing, killing and kidnapping people. Seriously, you should read some books and travel to Iran, to replace your ‘’DOCUMANTATIONS’’!

Another Campus Bursts Into Flames Over Politically Incorrect Remark  "College campuses are supposed to be places where ideas are rationally and unemotionally considered, but as we know, some ideas cause academics to go batty. John Rosenberg writes about such an instance at the University of Virginia in the Pope Center Clarion Call. The case is similar to that of Larry Summers some years ago at Harvard. Here, the offender is a trustee and the outraged, offended faculty can’t fire him, but that won’t stop the frenzy.

Teacher Forbids 10 Year Old From Writing About God  "Her teacher did not see this as an innocent Christian child writing about something she truly
believes. Instead, the teacher told the girl that she could not use God as the subject of her assignments, and later told the girl’s mother that, because it had to do with religion, the girl could not write about it. She went so far in her attempts to separate this little girl’s religion from school as to demand that the girl take the paper home saying it could not remain on school property."

The EPA; don't forget America has dangers here among us

Alan Caruba; The EPA's War on America  "If an enemy was doing this to America we would go to war against it, but this is being done and the enemy is the government on which we depend to ensure the nation has the energy it needs to function and grow. Leading the war on America has been the Environmental Protection Agency, but it is joined by the Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, and other agencies."

On John Kerry; Let's not let the Syrian issue make us forget the Israel "two-state solution"

Secretary of State Kerry Seemingly Unwelcome in Israel  "Some Israeli Parliament members have become fed up with Secretary Kerry’s insistence upon mutual culpability, that both sides are ultimately to blame for the lack of peace, and both must continue to make compromises in order to come to a peaceful accord."

It is difficult to know what would be more troubling: whether the US secretary of state believes the preposterous poppycock he presented in his “strategic assessment”; or whether he doesn’t.

Muted, myopic, and moronic   "Almost five months ago in this column (April 7), I warned: “With US foreign policy everywhere beleaguered by failure and paralysis, the only hope of any foreign success for the administration is by pressuring a pliant Israel on the Palestinian issue.”

"Yet despite the clear signs of the gathering storm on the horizon, no discernible steps were taken to prepare for it. There was no sign of preemptive evasive action, no sign of battening the hatches in order to weather the approaching tempest; no call to US Jewry to circle the wagons until the foreseen onslaught passes.

"So like a rudderless ship Israel drifted – seemingly helpless – headlong into the raging gale that is now upon it."

Dr. Martin Sherman served for seven years in operational capacities in the Israeli Defense establishment.  He was a ministerial adviser to Yitzhak Shamir's government and lectured for 20 years at Tel Aviv University in Political Science, International Relations and Strategic Studies.

He holds several university degrees: a B.Sc. (Physics and Geology), an MBA (Finance), and a PhD in political science and international relations. He was the first academic director of the internationally renowned Herzliya Conference and is the author of two books and numerous articles and policy papers on a wide range of political, diplomatic and security issues.

 Survivor's ordeals 

As it became clear a gunman was on the loose, Cmdr Jirus and a man he had just met tried to help friends and colleagues out of the building. They were standing outside when two shots rang out.

"One hit him. The other one - it didn't hit me," says Cmdr Jirus. "I looked down. The other guy's dead."

 

New York Times gets it wrong, media obsessed with linking AR-15 with Navy Yard shooter

 

The Washington Times  "The liberal media is so obsessed with linking the Navy Yard shooter with the AR-15 rifle that it is making up false tales of Aaron Alexis trying to obtain one.

"The New York Times attempts to give the impression that a so-called assault-weapon law stopped Alexis from buying a rifle in Virginia, but that is not true.

The author, Emily Miller quotes this from the New York Times:

“The gunman who killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday test fired an AR-15 assault rifle at a Virginia gun store last week but was stopped from buying one because state law there prohibits the sale of such weapons to out-of-state buyers, according to two senior law enforcement officials.”

Jon Stewart: CNN's Navy Yard Misinformation 'Deliberate'  "Comedian Jon Stewart opened his serious/comedic segment by saying, "For sheer accumulation of breathless wrongness, there is only one source that matters…."

NYT Camouflage​s Palestinia​n Terrorism

American Thinker  "If you pick up the Sept. 18 edition of the New York Times, you will encounter the following headline on page 7 of the front section: "Palestinian Killed in Raid In West Bank."
"If you then go on to peruse other stories, you will leave with a negative impression of Israel, thanks to a headline that suggests indiscriminate killing of a Palestinian by Israeli forces. A Palestinian was killed for no good or given reason, it would seem.".... 

The Palestinian killed grew up watching theseTV programs as a child:

With a laugh track, yet.

Obama softens on nuclear Iran: Keep components, just promise not to weaponise them

DEBKAfile  "Obama’s willingness to accept Khamenei’s oft-repeated assurance that his country’s  nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes – while letting its military program advance to the brink – leaves Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu lagging far behind and his Iranian policy with nowhere to go."

"West Virginia knew what it was doing when it overwhelmingly voted against President Obama in the recent election, they were trying to save their jobs. The number two coal mining state in the country knew that the President's energy policy has a goal of killing the coal industry. Well not everybody in the state knew. West Virginia Democratic Senator Manchin woke up this morning and realized that the president he helped to elect is anti-Coal.

"Manchin exploded over the Obama administration’s anti-coal policies during a senate hearing today. " ....
