Fiorina handles "stranglegate" with her usual class

Fiorina Responds to Stranglegate, Comes Out on Top

“I do take umbrage with the clear double standard that exists in the media”

"Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton cackled away comments about Carly Fiorina made during a New Hampshire town hall that, if made by any other conservative candidate, would be cause for healing circles and peace rallies all across America.

"During a Q&A on veterans’ issues, a man—who is a veteran and who claims to have been an HP employee from 1999-2005—expressed his frustration with Fiorina by saying, “every time I see [Carly Fiorina] on TV I want to reach through and strangle her.”

"Need a refresher? Here’s the video:"

“ 'I don’t take umbrage with him, I don’t even take umbrage with Mrs. Clinton. I do take umbrage with the clear double standard that exists in the media. If this had happened with a conservative candidate, the liberal media would be all over us to correct him, to apologize, and all the rest of it.

Newsflash: the media is biased, this isn’t anything new, and we just have to deal with it unfortunately… It’s not gonna rattle me.”

"O’Reilly pointed out an incident earlier this month in which the MSM took great umbrage with Fiorina’s apparently inadequate response to a man who made a drive-by claim that President Obama is a Muslim…"

Who knew there were Muslims capable of violence?

Breaking: Idiot 'shocked' by Paris attacks   . . . "If there is such a thing as poetic justice, its gavel is going to come down very hard on all those national leaders who, in the name of political correctness (or worse), are currently importing massive populations of poor, unassimilated Muslims into their nations. "

When seconds counted...  "It was Friday evening, and I was listening to a survivor of the Bataclan Theater terrorist attack in Paris describe how it took place.  The attackers wisely seized the high ground, the balconies, where they were able to fire down into the masses of people packed into the overcrowded main floor.  According to this witness, the terrorists were able to continually fire their weapons randomly into their helpless victims for ten to fifteen minutes before the police assault finally took them down." . . .
. . .
"The growing body count as of this writing is 120 slaughtered in the Bataclan.  We'll never know how much that body count could have been reduced if the foolish French allowed their citizens to go armed.  Their imprudent gun control laws contributed to unnecessary carnage.

"Once again, when seconds counted, the police were just too many minutes away."

'They are cutting us down one by one...dead bodies everywhere': Jihadist gunmen slaughter concert-goers before detonating suicide belts when police storm the venue

"Terrorists slaughtered ‘everyone one by one’ at a theatre in Paris in just one of a series of horrifying attacks across the capital that have killed up to 150 people.

"An injured hostage held captive during a rock concert at the Bataclan theatre, was able to update his status on social media where he said: 'There are survivors inside. They are cutting down all the world. One by one.’

"Benjamin Cazenoves added in another post: ‘Alive. Just cuts... Carnage... Dead bodies everywhere.’" . . .

The American rock band Eagles of Death Metal had been playing when men armed with Kalashnikovs are said to have stormed into the hall and began firing Above, a photo from the Bataclan before the attack

. . . "Islamic State supporters celebrated the attacks using the Twitter hashtag Paris in Flames or Paris on Fire.

"One militant, Abu Asad, tweeted: ‘Allahu Akbar.’ Another said: ‘There is no God but Allah, praise be to Allah.’"

Obama on Paris: "Muslim", "Syria". "Allahu Akbar" not mentioned

This man is a scourge to the police everywhere, but Islamic terrorists get a pass.

"Roughly 70,000 spectators were packed into the stadium watching France play Germany when the crack of the explosion split the air. The explosion was loud enough to be heard inside the stadium, over the roaring of the fans, video of the match shows.

"Hollande, who attended the game, was quickly ushered out of the stadium.

"At least four people were killed in the explosions. A police union official said there were two suicide attacks and a bombing.

Soon, the violence spread through the city.

"Around 100 people were held hostage inside the Bataclan concert hall, watching California band Eagles of Death Metal as attackers opened fire on the crowd, authorities said. The popular nightspot, initially packed with more than 1,000 people, was turned into a deathtrap after attackers hurled explosives at their captives.

"Reports put the number of dead at the concert at 112." . . .

Paris attacks:At least 153 killed in Paris gunfire and explosions

CNN   "On a night when thousands of Paris residents and tourists were reveling and fans were enjoying a soccer match between France and world champion Germany, horror struck in an unprecedented manner. Terrorists -- some with AK-47s, some reportedly with bombs strapped to them -- attacked sites throughout the French capital and at the stadium where the soccer match was underway.

"Scores were killed in the coordinated attacks late Friday, leaving a nation in mourning and the world in shock. CNN will update this story as information comes in:" . . .

. . . "There is great alarm over the apparent methodology and likely planning that would have been needed to pull off such a series of attacks, one U.S. counterterrorism official told CNN. The attacks resembled tactics that have been used by a number of terror groups -- including al Qaeda's focus on mass casualties and visibility, and the small, tactical nature of attacks that are more the hallmark of ISIS and its acolytes. It is still not clear who is responsible."

Weasel of the Week Winner!

Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were particularly slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner…the envelope please…"

Faisel Mohammed, Jihadi Murderer

. . . "He also had a backpack containing hand-cuffs, a night vision scope, duct tape and a home made explosive using petroleum jelly, which Merced Country Sheriff Verne Warnke described as s a “poor man’s C-4,” a military-grade explosive.

"It spite of all this, the media and Sheriff Warneke raced to say that this was not terrorism related, just a ‘kid with a grudge.’ ABC News reported:

UC Merced Chancellor Dorothy Leland says personal animosities, not a political agenda, motivated 18-year-old Faisal Mohammad from Santa Clara in Wednesday’s multiple stabbings on the school’s campus. Authorities say the stabbing of four people at UC Merced was not related to terrorism.

"That story changed, sort of, when Merced County news reporter Matthew Gonzales revealed that anonymous law enforcement sources informed him that Mohammad was on the FBI’s terror watch list and that the school was aware of it.


"Not only that, but Mohammed had actually been one of the topics of discussion about 6 months ago when the FBI held a terrorist/extremist briefing with Merced County law enforcement leaders.


"Ah well, jobs and pensions have to be protected. No wonder they’re sticking to their story so far.

"In the name of political correctness, we have normalized Islamist terrorism. Just one of those things that happens some times, like a car accident or a power outage…"

Universities have become totalitarian gulags

Robert Oscar Lopez "The modern American university has become a taxpayer-subsidized left-wing gulag.  In it, dissenters such as myself can be subjected to Stalinist show trials, spied on, and threatened with loss of livelihood for espousing dangerous ideas or associating with political pariahs.  If Republicans continue to moan about "liberal bias" and "losing the culture wars" without mustering the courage to do something about it – à la I have glimpsed the future that awaits the whole country if the Equality Act is passed.  My university – which I have nicknamed Gaslight University – has charged me with "discrimination" against gays and women.  I suggest that you check out the article by Peter Fricke (or this onethis one

. . . "Later in his letter, Donley noted that he only found out about the alleged vandalism incident “via a flyer posted on the walls” of the dorm.
"Although Donley did not respond to repeated requests for comment prior to publication, The Federalist spoke with two RHA staffers while trying to get in touch with Donley. Neither had personally witnessed the poop swastika. When asked if there was any photographic evidence of the alleged incident, one staffer replied, “Not to my knowledge.”'  . . .

Was the Mizzou poop swastika a fake?   "Sean Davis at The Federalist asks a worthwhile question, given the hundreds of documented fake hate crimes, usually perpetrated for the purpose of launching political reactions.  The reason why the purported swastika drawn with feces at Mizzou is suspicious is:

… no evidence of the alleged incident, in which a poop swastika on the wall of a dormitory restroom was reported, has ever been made publicly available. Did this incident occur as reported, or was it an immaculate defecation that formed the foundation of an unimaginable deception?
