Remember the "gentle giant"?

Reason for posting this is at the bottom.

 

People burned and looted Ferguson, MO for THIS guy?  Where are the people demonstrating for his victims?

Video of the "Gentle Giant" Mike Brown!    

"Newly discovered video of the "Gentle Giant" Mike Brown! Pulling off a strong arm robbery and attacking a cop for his gun was the end, but here's new video of Mike Brown living the "Thug Life" beating and robbing an old man all caught on video! All the old gentleman was doing was passing out Jesus flyers."

Attached is a video taken from a cell phone, showing how Michael Brown.....(yes, the one and the same)....treats a senior black male. This 300 lb. young boy (that's what media calls him) is the same Michael Brown that attempted to take a gun away from a police officer and paid with his life. Here is the fellow that all of the riots are about. Videos don't lie. You will not see this in the media.

 

And he gets a memorial!

Ferguson Hair Salon Vandalized for Second Time
"For the second time in a year, the 911 Hair Salon in Ferguson was vandalized during the nights of violence that came after the death of Michael Brown. After the first time, the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition helped the salon’s owner, Dellena Jones, get her business up and hairdryers running again. With the vandalism and decline of patrons visiting her shop, Jones has lost about $73,000 in the riots she calls “selfish.” Jones told The Daily Signal, “It’s just amazing to me. The biggest chant is ‘Black lives matter.’ So many black lives are being affected by this in such a big way. I’m an African-American, I’m a single parent. I have two kids. I’m affected by this. It’s almost a little bit contradictory with the chants of ‘Black lives matter,’ but it seems that it’s only some black lives matter.” The night after she was vandalized a second time, the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition helped her find four men to guard her store. First, it’s encouraging to see a group of conservatives investing into the community of Ferguson in an effort to rebuilt it. Secondly, while the protests were dramatic, they did more to destroy a community than advance any political cause that arose over the death of Brown."     Emphasis added, TD

Quiet Riot

 

"As surely as the swallows return to Capistrano and the Obamas return to the five-star environs of Martha's Vineyard, rioters have returned to Ferguson to block highways, set things on fire, loot businesses, and shoot at police officers in loving memory of Michael "Gentle Giant when he's not violently assaulting someone" Brown." . . .

Silence, please; Barack Obama and Al Sharpton are about to make a statement!  ....Um, oh. They're not? As you were then.

Some late comments on GOP candidates

"Donald Trump admitted in the GOP debate he participated in wielding money to gain influence, power and favors in Washington D.C. He said the reason that Hillary Clinton attended his wedding was that he gave her money. Coincidentally that was the same reason Mrs. Trump attended the wedding."   Comedian Argus Hamilton

We must put more intellect into choosing our candidate than the democrats have with theirs these past eight years. If we don't have the reasoning, beware of the emotion. 

Marco Rubio now on Hillary’s radar  " Lashes out at Rubio On Abortion: Calls Him “Very Young' ”
The left will tell you who they fear by who they attack. 
 . . . "Marco Rubio, was not backing down and his campaign issued a statement from the Senator:
“Hillary Clinton supports abortion even at the stage when an unborn child can feel pain; she has defended partial birth abortions as a ‘fundamental right;’ she opposes requiring parents to be notified that their minor daughter is having an abortion; she supports funding Planned Parenthood even after they have been exposed for their role in selling the organs of unborn children; and she supports using taxpayer money to pay for abortions overseas,” Rubio’s statement read.
"While Hillary seems to be staking out the “war on women” position, her comments about Rubio’s age seemed rather bizarre. With millennials a big voting bloc, the idea of pointing out her 35 year age difference with Rubio will likely be a hindrance, not a positive." . . .

 The Big Winners and Losers from the GOP Debate   "Harry Enten looks at the polling since last week’s debate and finds Carly Fiorina the biggest winner: “She gained ground in every poll taken after the debate. In five of the seven polls, the gain was 6 percentage points or more.”
"The big loser was Scott Walker: “This one surprised me a little, but the polling is clear. Walker is the only candidate who lost ground in every single post-debate poll.”
"A mixed verdict on Donald Trump: “The polling is a bit split on Trump, but there is enough evidence to say — at the very least — that he didn’t gain any ground. . . "

Monty Python and the Rick Perry Campaign

 

Shallow Jeb; The former Florida governor was supposed to be the GOP’s next foreign policy statesman. He just proved he’s not.

Slate    (Consider the source here) 

 

" Most presidential candidates who deliver a “major foreign policy address” have something original, potent, or insightful to say. On Tuesday night, as with most other aspects of his campaign to date, Jeb Bush defied expectations.

"His 40-minute speech, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, was a hodgepodge of revisionist history, shallow analysis, and vague prescriptions.

"The history—his effort to hide the scar of his own family history—was where he placed most of his chips, and he lost them all. As a preface, he admitted that “no leader or policymaker” got “everything right” in the Middle East, “Iraq especially” (his single indirect acknowledgment of his brother’s mistakes). But, he added, “one moment stands out in memory as the turning point” of the war in that country—namely, the “surge,” which “turned events toward victory.' ”. . . 

"Meanwhile, if Bush hopes to get a boost from his ideas in foreign policy, this speech isn’t likely to do the trick."

 We already have foreign policy neophytes running the country and don't need more.

The Dry Bones Academy of Cartoon Advocacy and Activism is beginning to take shape.

Dedicated To Combating the Willful Rewriting of History and Fighting the Spread of Antisemitism

"I started Dry Bones in Jan 1973. Since then I've been known as "Bones" to friends and colleagues. This is the first time I've ever shared the "stories behind the cartoons."

What is the meaning of "Dry Bones"?

 

The Dry Bones Blog. . . "As you probably know it will train and empower a new generation of students to survive and combat the antisemitic and anti-western forces that have bullied their way to control Western campuses with lies, libels, and Boycott, Divest, and Sanction propaganda.  . . .The team includes Brian the tech guy, Sali, the LSW (Long Suffering Wife) and me, the guy who has been writing and drawing the award-winning daily Dry Bones cartoons non-stop since January 1973. Because the academy is online, students from around the world will be able to sit across the table from me as I teach them my tips, tricks, strategies, and secrets. We’ve decided that the table I'll be seated at will be our dining room table, behind which we'd want to hang a cartoon backdrop.Here is the cartoon that I drew for the giant backdrop:

 

"With your help we can get the first course up and functioning in four to five months. If you’d like to be part of this exciting venture, check out the Dry Bones Academy at: http://igg.me/at/drybones, or write to me at kirschen@drybonesacademy.com"

Rising murders of citizens by illegal aliens blamed on White House ignoring laws

Examiner.com

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson stumbled to answer questions from Rep. Smith regarding whether sanctuary cities violate federal law at recent oversight hearing. 

“Sanctuary city policies needlessly endanger American lives by refusing to honor the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration laws,” Goodlatte indicated. “Unfortunately, the Obama Administration’s own foolish policies enable rogue local governments to defy federal immigration laws. All too often, these reckless policies create preventable tragedies.”

Which leads us to Bugs Bunny in drag.

Somehow this used to be funny but is kinda revolting to me now.

NOT GOOD: The Donald Trump Problem — And the Naive Voters Who Support Him

 

Clash Daily   "Whenever I hear Donald Trump discuss the issues I feel like I’m listening to an immature 15-year- old.  His outrageous over-statements and bragging are irresponsible and childlike.  However, they sometimes appeal to equally immature and/or uninformed voters – not good!

"A lot of under-informed voters like Donald Trump because of his bold and confident and bombastic pronouncements that he would make America great again by fixing all of our problems. "

Trump: a Third Party? UPDATED

 Donald Trump: I'll stay a Republican 'if I'm treated fairly' - otherwise I could still run a third-party White House bid  . . . "The businessman-turned-politician has indicated all along that he could seek the Oval Office as a third-party candidate, no more prominently so than at last week's presidential debate, where the admission was met with boos by a feisty audience.

He said earlier this summer that he did not want to go that route, however, because he feared he could play spoiler to the GOP and hand the election to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

"As his GOP competitors have ratcheted up their attacks on him, Trump's warnings that the Republican Party better play nice with him - or else - have taken on a more serious nature."

 Ross Perot's try at a third party gave us Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton for over  two decades.

 

Trump's Bridge Over the River Kwai   "Should circumstances arise, will Trump check his ego for the good of the country or build a bridge to victory for the enemy?

"Bill Clinton learned a thing or two in 1992. He was elected by only 43% of the vote. Reason: Ross Perot garnered 19% of the vote to George H.W. Bush's 38%. The turnout was just over 55%. Though Perot won no electoral votes to the Electoral College, he skewed the vote in such a way as to thwart the reelection of his perceived nemesis for, of all things, disturbing his daughter’s wedding. Small man. Yet, he didn't start out that way." . . .

Third parties have often given the victory to the lesser in U.S. history.

The Iran Deal Update

All The Right Snark   "Wow, a lot has happened in the few weeks since the Iran nuclear weapons deal was signed.  Some standouts include some more random shootings, Donald Trump’s braying at the ‘Pubs, Obama’s war on coal sends another volley via the EPA, Miss Piggy and Kermit breakup, and Planned Parenthood is selling the organs of aborted unborn babies.
"And I wonder why I drink…
"So what’s happening in the Iran “deal”?  Democratic senator Chuck Schumer has come out against the deal. (read here) and Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Iranian military chief has come out in support of the deal. (read more here).

Megyn Kelly on Trump: ‘I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism’; former aide says he still supports Trump

Ann Althouse introduced this post with the following commentary:
 . . . "So I'll continue doing my job without fear or favor."
"Said Megyn Kelly, on her show last night, taking the least time possible to kick Donald Trump to the side. Watch the clip, because her good humor and style shine.
"For some reason — and for the first time — she reminded me of Katharine Hepburn."

NY Daily News  . . . "Trump had called for her to say sorry for asking an “inappropriate” question on quotes he's made in the past about women. Trump’s top advisor left his campaign over the weekend after the candidate bashed Kelly.
"She told "Kelly File" viewers Trump is “an interesting man who has captured the attention of the electorate” but won’t be getting any apology from her."



. . . "Former Trump aide Roger Stone also agreed to disagree with him. The longtime GOP operative says he quit Trump’s campaign over the “diversion to food fight” with Kelly even though his former boss says he fired him. Stone submitted a resignation letter to Trump after running a draft by five friends, he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday night.
"But regardless of the quarrels over his departure and the candidate’s tactics, he still supports Trump, Stone said."

"It is the same administration that traded five dangerous Taliban commanders for one pot-addled Army deserter in the spring of 2014.

"It is the same administration that sides with the Islamist government of Turkey over the secular Kurds who are fighting the ISIS terrorists."
