What do you think when Miley Cyrus declares herself 'pansexual'?

 

American Thinker  . . . "I think liberals are just trying to be stylish and think up new names for things.  There are heterosexuals, and there are homosexuals.  You can call homosexuals pan, or fluid, or this, or that, but it all amounts to the same thing.

"Personally, given her appetites, I think Miley Cyrus should be called not pansexual, but a pandemic sexual, if she's "changing her style" every two weeks.  She talks about it as casually as one would talk about eating Italian one night and Chinese the next, which shows how confused she is and why we shouldn't teach kids in school to be confused like her." . . .

Over 200 Ex-Generals And Admirals Say Iran Deal Risks War

"Their missive blasts virtually everything that Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry assert about the consequences of the deal."

Investor's Business Daily "Iran Deal: At least 214 former generals and admirals signed a letter warning that President Obama's Iran nuclear pact could bring war. It counters less than a quarter of that number publicly supporting the deal.

"President Obama claims that the opponents of his surrender to Iran are neocon warmongers, "the same people who argued for the war in Iraq."

"But the 214 and counting retired military brass who signed an open letter to the leaders of both parties in the two houses of Congress, urging rejection of the agreement, belie that claim. And their emergence upends a previous letter supporting the deal, signed by a fraction of this number of generals.

"One of the signatories of that earlier letter, retired Joint Chiefs member Marine Gen. James Cartwright, was close to Obama and is now the subject of a federal investigation into whether he leaked national security secrets to the media.

"Those signing the letter opposing the deal include Air Force Gen. Lance Smith, a decorated combat fighter pilot who was NATO's Supreme Allied Commander for Transformation; Air Force Gen. James Davis, who was chief of staff for the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers, Europe; and the organizer of the letter, decorated Navy combat aviator and former vice chief of naval operations, Adm. Leon "Bud" Edney." . . . Full article

Krauthammer: What six years of ‘reset’ have wrought. (That's "RESET" not "respect")

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2013/08/08/priorities-usa-putin-and-obama/

Charles Krauthammer

"On September 5, 2014, two days after President Obama visited Estonia to symbolize America’s commitment to its security, Russian agents crossed into Estonia and kidnapped an Estonian security official. Last week, after a closed trial, Russia sentenced him to 15 years.

"The reaction? The State Department issued a statement. The NATO secretary-general issued a tweet. Neither did anything. The European Union (reports the Wall Street Journal) said it was too early to discuss any possible action.

 

"Charles Krauthammer writes a weekly political column that runs on Fridays. View Archive

The timing of this brazen violation of NATO territory — immediately after Obama’s visit — is testimony to Vladimir Putin’s contempt for the American president. He knows Obama would do nothing. Why should he think otherwise?

" Putin breaks the arms embargo to Iran by lifting the hold on selling it S-300 missiles. Obama responds by excusing him, saying it wasn’t technically illegal and adding, with a tip of the hat to Putin’s patience: “I’m frankly surprised that it held this long.' ”. . .

Since the end of World War II, Russia has known that what stands in the way of westward expansion was not Europe, living happily in decadent repose, but the United States as guarantor of Western security. Obama’s naivete and ambivalence have put those guarantees in question.
It began with the reset button, ostentatiously offered less than two months after Obama’s swearing-in. Followed six months later by the unilateral American cancellation of the missile shield the Poles and the Czechs had agreed to install on their territory. Again, lest Putin be upset.
By 2012, a still clueless Obama mocked Mitt Romney for saying that Russia is “without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe,” quipping oh so cleverly: “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.” After all, he explained, “the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

 

White House concedes new gun laws wouldn’t have stopped Va. gunman

Washington Times

 

 . . . "Law enforcement officials said gunman Vester Flanagan used a Glock handgun in Wednesday’s shooting, one of two that he bought last month. He legally bought two Glock model 19 handguns from a Virginia dealer.

"Mr. Earnest said the White House has never suggested that one piece of gun legislation would prevent all gun violence in the U.S. But Mr. Earnest said the proposal on background checks, which failed in the Senate in 2013, would prevent other shooting deaths around the country every day.

“There are similarly shocking acts of violence that don’t get as much attention that could be prevented … if Congress weren’t scared of the NRA,” he said.

"Flanagan opened fire on WDBJ reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, during a live broadcast in Virginia on Wednesday, killing both of them. He later killed himself as police closed in.

"A third shooting victim, Vicki Gardner, who was being interviewed when Flanagan began shooting, was upgraded from stable to good condition Thursday in a hospital." . . .

American Silliness: Moonbats At U Of Tennessee Tells Staff To Stop Using ‘He’ And ‘She’, And Use ‘Xe’, ‘Zyr’ and ‘Xyr’ Instead

 Weasel Zippers

 

"Insanity, what do those terms even mean?

Via Daily Mail:

The University of Tennessee has told its staff and students to stop calling each other ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘him’ and ‘her’ – and to start referring to one another with terms like ‘xe’, ‘zir’ and ‘xyr’ instead.

The Knoxville branch of the public university sent a memo round to its members filled with unusual new parts of speech to avoid referring to anybody’s gender.

According to a gay rights official at the university, the new language regime will make the university ‘welcoming and inclusive’ and stop people feeling ‘marginalized’.

Peggy Noonan: America Is So in Play

WSJ
 "Donald Trump’s staying power in the polls reflects a change in the electorate only now coming into focus."

 

. . . "Something is going on, some tectonic plates are moving in interesting ways. My friend Cesar works the deli counter at my neighborhood grocery store. He is Dominican, an immigrant, early 50s, and listens most mornings to a local Hispanic radio station, La Mega, on 97.9 FM. Their morning show is the popular “El Vacilón de la Mañana,” and after the first GOP debate, Cesar told me, they opened the lines to call-ins, asking listeners (mostly Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican) for their impressions. More than half called in to say they were for Mr. Trump. Their praise, Cesar told me a few weeks ago, dumbfounded the hosts. I later spoke to one of them, who identified himself as D.J. New Era. He backed Cesar’s story. “We were very surprised,” at the Trump support, he said. Why? “It’s a Latin-based market!”

“ 'He’s the man,” Cesar said of Mr. Trump. This week I went by and Cesar told me that after Mr. Trump threw Univision’s well-known anchor and immigration activist, Jorge Ramos, out of an Iowa news conference on Tuesday evening, the “El Vacilón” hosts again threw open the phone lines the following morning and were again surprised that the majority of callers backed not Mr. Ramos but Mr. Trump. Cesar, who I should probably note sees me, I sense, as a very nice establishment person who needs to get with the new reality, was delighted." . . .

Rush Limbaugh:  GOP Elites Struggle to Comprehend Trump's Appeal to the Base They Hate

 

 . . . "But more than that, all of this opposition to the fixtures of Washington is real.  It's not fringe.  It's not tiny.  It's not made up of kooks.  It is more and more mainstream, and she has been stunned!  She writes that she's stunned to learn that there are Hispanics that feel this way and that there are African-Americans who feel this way, and that there are blacks and Latinos and Asians and you name it. 

"In other words: Inside the Beltway they think all of this anti-Washington stuff is a bunch of conservative fringe kooks.  Peggy went out there -- she's been talking to people, she's traveled the country -- and she's found out that every demographic under the sun is represented by these people who are unhappy with the leadership that they're getting in all of Washington. Not just Republicans, not just Democrats, but the whole shebang."

Cop Killed Himself After His Name Was Linked To Ashley Madison, But He Was Falsely Named By Cop-Hating Group

Weasel Zippers

 

"Cop Block has been active in Anonymous, Occupy and Black Lives Matter protests. We’ve seen the many lies of those protesters. This may have contributed to this man’s death.

"Via Daily Mail:

A police officer who shot himself after being linked to Ashley Madison was not a user of it and was the victim of a smear published on a cop-hating blog, Daily Mail Online can reveal.

Captain Michael Gorhum’s official San Antonio police email address was published in a purported list of Ashley Madison users on a website called Cop Block, which carries material highly critical of police.

On the day he learned that he was on the published list, and as colleagues also learned about his presence on the Cop Block site, he took his own life, shooting himself in the parking lot of the church where he worshiped with his wife and two children.

An investigation is underway to establish how the internet ‘shaming’ may have contributed to his death. His widow said he had been under unrelated ‘stress’ at work for some time beforehand. . . .Keep reading…

Whining "victims" in Obama's America

'A whining crying race may be pitied but seldom respected'

Bill Federer remembers giants in American race relations

. . . "Booker T. Washington warned in “My Larger Education – Being Chapters from My Experience” . . . : “There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. …

“There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”

#BlackIncitementMatters  . . . "But instead, the media, willing co-conspirators of race inciters like the #blacklivesmatter crowd, whip up black resentment of whites and blame them for all their woes.  If all the white people packed up and moved to Australia tomorrow, all the broken black families would still have the same problems of crime and drug abuse tomorrow as they do today.

"But of course, the liberal media will never take responsibility for this.  They will blame this madman's attack on...white racism!  If America weren't such a racist country, he never would have snapped!  It's the same argument they use to justify rioting and arson in places like Baltimore.". . .Read more

Peggy Hubbard exposes hypocrisy of #blacklivesmatter  "Peggy Hubbard is a former IRS worker who made a video asking why the Black Lives Matter movement glorifies teen thugs whose lifestyle choices bring them into deadly conflict with law enforcement while ignoring deaths like that of a 9-year-old black girl, Jamyla Bolden, in Ferguson, Missouri, who died from a stray bullet while she was doing her homework." . . .

Remember the names of Jamyla Bolden, Amari Brown, Hadiya Pendleton, and Demario Bailey.  Black Lives Matter won’t.  They remember only the thugs who lose their confrontations with white cops.
