Scott Walker Once Ate Two Cookies at Recess When He Was Supposed to Eat Only One

They Always Tell You Whom They Fear — and the MSM Is Terrified of Scott Walker
. . . "We can’t have “questions lingering” about a man who might one day be president now, can we? So here we go with this thoroughly nasty piece of work that brings shame and disgrace on both its writer and the newspaper: . . .

Roger Kimball "Today’s funniest news item comes to us courtesy of the Washington Post. Here’s the headline:

As Scott Walker Mulls White House Bid, Questions Linger Over College Exit

"Not a side-splitter, I admit, but I did savor the humor. Listen:

MILWAUKEE — Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.
In 1990, that news stunned [stunned!] his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.

"Gosh. I mean, you don’t say. This, you will have noticed, is the tone that newspapers reserve for Serious Revelations. The short sentences. Staccato. Ernest Hemingway meets Bob Woodward.

. . .

"Scott Walker is emerging as a formidable candidate. Hysterical melodramas about imaginary torts will make his opponents look craven and downright silly.  They will do nothing to derail his candidacy, which is yet another reason I found the story about him in the Washington Post amusing."

"The same mainstream media that refused to demand Obama’s (still undisclosed) Columbia University records in 2008 (while reassuring us that he was brilliant) has taken a keen interest in the academic pedigree of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

"Professor Jacobson repeatedly reminds us that the MSM always tries to kill Republican candidacies in the cradle. The Washington Post did it with Rick Perry’s hunting property rock. Jeb Bush’s high school antics are fair game, as were Mitt Romney’s.

"Now they’re trying to play the same game with Scott Walker’s unfinished college degree

Ezekiel 37:1-14 - The Valley of Dry Bones

11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord,when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

Al Sharpton Is A More Dangerous Liar Than Brian Williams- Where's HIS Suspension?

The Lid

"Tuesday evening, NBC announced Brian Williams would be suspended without pay for the next six months.  If they are to be consistent in their punishment, they should be suspending Al Sharpton for a much longer period. After all Williams lies were expressed just to make him look macho, Sharpton's lies were much worse, his slandered others, and while some of his falsehoods may be 20-years-old, he has never recognized his mistakes or apologize[d] for the falsehoods. Below are seven examples of Sharpton's lies, one for every day of the week."   Full article here.

Dem Rep. Hank Johnson On CBC Boycotting Netanyahu Speech: Obama Is A “Black Man Being Disrespected By A Foreign Leader”…

Doesn’t Hank have bigger issues to worry about? Like Guam tipping over.

Via Politico:

The audience for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on March 3 is shaping up to be largely Republican — and almost completely white.
Many members of the Congressional Black Caucus say they’re planning to skip the speech, calling it a slight to President Barack Obama that they can’t and won’t support.. . .

We Have to Talk About Obama’s Ignorance; Anti-Semitic horrors don‘t exist in Obama’s world

http://www.investors.com/editorial-cartoons/michael-ramirez/739010

We Have to Talk About Obama’s Ignorance   "In the wake of the controversy over President Obama’s offensive labeling of anti-Semitic violence as “random,” it became clear that regardless of whether he chose his words carefully, he certainly chose his audience carefully. He was not challenged by his interviewer at Vox for his undeniably false characterization of the Paris attacks. And now, having given an interview to BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith, he has continued exposing his own ignorance in the hope that he would continue not to be called on it by his interviewers. He was in luck yet again." . . .

. . . "By all means, send Brian Williams packing, but do not imagine that that will preserve or retrieve one jot of the self-shredded credibility of the U.S national media. They went from utter credulity in Vietnam to complete defeatism, crucified the president who got seriously into the war, and then crucified the president who saved the war, and helped deliver Indochina to the North Vietnamese Communists and Khmer Rouge who killed millions in the post-war massacres, the Cambodian Killing Fields, and the flight of the Boat People. They tried to assimilate Nicaragua and El Salvador to Vietnam; denied at every turn that Reagan’s defense buildup and anti-missile defense would produce any progress in arms control or the Cold War; never had the faintest hint that forcing the U.S financial industry into trillions of dollars of under-secured mortgages could lead to trouble; and have conducted a stentorian hallelujah chorus for the most incompetent president since James Buchanan. Of course, there have been many good newspeople, but the network newscasts are now just social-interest pap and they don’t resonate with the country. "

Why We Worry about Islamist Violence and Not Progressive Atheist Violence

When does the ideology of a killer matter? 

Charles C. W. Cooke  "Three Muslims have been murdered by a white atheist — ostensibly over a parking dispute. The shooter, if his Facebook page is to be believed, was what one might term an “anti-theist progressive.” Among the public figures he admired were Rachel Maddow, Bill Nye the engineer, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Among the groups with which he identified were the Southern Poverty Law center, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and the Huffington Post. Among those people he disliked were political conservatives, the devoutly religious, and fans of country music. This was not a man, let’s say, who is likely to have been friends with Ted Nugent.

"And here’s the thing: None of this matters at all. Zip. Nada. Zilch."
. . .
"The crucial difference between today’s killing and the routine killings that we see around the world is not that one murderer is familiar and the other is foreign. It is that the former is an outlier, and the latter is part of a critical mass. Of course people raise their eyebrows in one case and not the other. The swallows are flying in formation."

Having said all this, I despise this killer of these fine young people and regard him to be every bit as contemptible as the murderers in Paris . As for our leftist friends, I feel your pain that this murderer is not a TEA Partier. TD

RedState     "In light of today’s horrible shootings is Chapel Hill, North Carolina, we need to seriously debate the violent nature that seems to be common in atheists and supporters of homosexual rights. For instance, here are some screen caps from the Facebook page of the Chapel Hill shooter, Craig Kirby."

. . .

• Adam Lanza, the Newtown shooter, was an avowed atheist.
• Floyd Lee Corkins, the deranged gunman who invaded the headquarters of the Family Research Council did so because he was a homosexual marriage advocate and he was an atheist.
• Jared Lee Loughner, the man who shot Gabby Gifford, was an atheist.
• Wade Michael Page, the man who killed 6 and wounded 4 when he shot up a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, was an atheist.
• The Columbine shooters were atheists.

BRYAN CRANSTON: FROM METH COOK TO HITLER APOLOGIST

"And remember: This was before the U.N. came along and made Jew-hating a legitimate foreign policy."

Ann Coulter  

. . . "All that, in addition to Hitler's sweep through Western Europe, was well known. But the very month that Hitler marched into Poland, Trumbo published "Johnny Got His Gun," a pure propaganda piece designed to squelch American ardor for helping Hitler's victims. 

"The magnificent new book Hollywood Traitors by Allan Ryskind, son of Hollywood royalty (Marx Brothers screenwriter Morrie Ryskind), has been published just in time for the release of "Trumbo," in which Bryan Cranston will portray Hitler apologist Dalton Trumbo as a hero. 

"I'm guessing the movie skips over Trumbo's aggressive efforts to prevent America from joining the fight against Hitler. To that end, Trumbo wrote two of the most ghastly anti-war films ever made, "Johnny Got His Gun," released as a novel in 1939, and "The Remarkable Andrew," published in 1941. .

In Trumbo's upbeat story, the protagonist, Joe Bonham, a fresh-faced American soldier, has returned from World War I grotesquely disfigured. Inasmuch as Hitler was obviously a deranged monster, Joe's brutalization would have to be pretty bad to convince Americans to stay neutral in any war to stop him. Thus, Trumbo's character had lost both his arms, and for good measure, also his legs. But that's not all! The war had blasted out Joe's eyes. And his ears. And his nose. And his mouth. 

Is that enough to stop you from leaping into a war among indistinguishable imperialist powers, America? 

In the end, Trumbo redeemed himself in the eyes of Hollywood by explaining he had defended one mass murderer only to help an even bigger mass murderer. He said he was "pacifist" until ... June 22, 1941: The day Hitler attacked Russia.

Text of Obama's ISIS War Authorization

First this: ull text of President Barack Obama’s letter to lawmakers accompanying draft war powers resolution:

. . . I have directed a comprehensive and sustained strategy to degrade and defeat ISIL. As part of this strategy, U.S. military forces are conducting a systematic campaign of airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. Although existing statutes provide me with the authority I need to take these actions, I have repeatedly expressed my commitment to working with the Congress to pass a bipartisan authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) against ISIL. . . . 

Here is the full text of the proposed war authorization bill sent to Congress by President Obama:

To authorize the limited use of the United States Armed Forces against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

• Whereas the terrorist organization that has referred to itself as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and various other names (in this resolution referred to as ‘‘ISIL’’) poses a grave threat to the people and territorial integrity of Iraq and Syria, regional stability, and the national security interests of the United States and its allies and partners;
• Whereas ISIL holds significant territory in Iraq and Syria and has stated its intention to seize more territory and demonstrated the capability to do so;
• Whereas ISIL leaders have stated that they intend to conduct terrorist attacks internationally, including against the United States, its citizens, and interests;
• Whereas ISIL has committed despicable acts of violence and mass executions against Muslims, regardless of sect, who do not subscribe to ISIL’s depraved, violent, and oppressive ideology;
• Whereas ISIL has threatened genocide and committed vicious acts of violence against religious and ethnic minority groups, including Iraqi Christian, Yezidi, and Turkmen populations;
• Whereas ISIL has targeted innocent women and girls with horrific acts of violence, including abduction, enslavement, torture, rape, and forced marriage;
• Whereas ISIL is responsible for the deaths of innocent United States citizens, including James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Abdul-Rahman Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller;
• Whereas the United States is working with regional and global allies and partners to degrade and defeat ISIL, to cut off its funding, to stop the flow of foreign fighters to its ranks, and to support local communities as they reject ISIL;

“Very few that I talked to Craig trust this guy, our commander-in-chief, to prosecute a war in an appropriate fashion.” . . . "He doesn’t have to listen to his generals. He knows better than them? And so really it puts us in a quandary because really we want to go after this cancer and cut it out but then we remember who the commander-in-chief is.' ”

‘Inclusive’ speech campaign

La Shawn Barber

 

"Isn’t it strange how campus liberalism has evolved from a free-speech, tradition-defying, I-am-woman, youth-led movement to a speech-suppressing, narrow-minded, prudish crusade led by grandchildren of the earlier generation? 

. . .

"Yeah, right. The more “diverse” and perverted society becomes, the more freedom people are willing to give up. Where will it end? The next thing you know, individuals saying the wrong words will end up testifying before some congressional committee about their political and religious affiliations. We’re not that far away from the government suppressing the kind of speech some call “homophobic” or, even “transphobic.” Two ugly words for two absurd ideas. If you don’t accept deviancy, you’re a scared religious bigot." . . .

Charles Manson 'called off wedding over fiancee's morbid scheme'

9NEWS via Althouse

Charles Manson with his 25-year-old girlfriend, who he renamed Star, in
happier times. 

"Charles Manson called off his wedding to his much younger fiance after he learned she only wanted him for his body — once he was dead, that is.

"Afton Elaine Burton, 27, reportedly agreed to wed the notorious 80-year-old killer as part of a bizarre plot to make money from displaying his preserved body in a glass tomb.

"If Burton married Manson, California law would give her possession of Manson's remains upon his death."
