Rome Burns - Nero Worries About Pyrophobia

Ann Coulter  "The latest Muslim terrorist attack ripped apart little girls at a concert in Manchester, England, on Monday, killing 22. The death and body-part count is still rising. 

"This is not a game. When young British girls are the targets of a suicide bombing, can we take a short break from the posturing, political correctness and Russia conspiracy theorizing? Won't the hatred of Trump keep for a few weeks? 

"Channel-surfing on Monday night was like watching broadcasts from different countries. While Fox News and CNN covered the terrorist attack, MSNBC concentrated on the real news of the night -- TRUMP'S COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA -- as children screamed in the background in footage from Manchester. 

"It was a big enough step for MSNBC to stop claiming that the "explosion" was just popping balloons. The hosts reasoned, We know that Islam is a religion of peace, so what else could it be? 

"CBS and NBC News finally produced the name of the suicide bomber -- the next day. (After any terrorist attack, the media like to keep us in suspense for as long as possible about whether it was a Muslim or a Christian.)*
. . . 

The media didn't gaudily broadcast the bomber's name, religion or ethnicity in their headlines, but at least they finally coughed up the information. He was Salman Abedi, son of Libyan "refugees." 
Apparently, the media think you can't be trusted with that information. You might notice that the West is deliberately importing people who enjoy killing kids.

I'm Sick of News Anchors Telling us Not to Rush to Judgement on Terror Attacks

Evil in Manchester
comicallyincorrect
Todd Starnes  . . . "An untold number of children and their parents were massacred by Islamic radicals - killed in the name of the religion of peace. 

"In response – there have been candlelight vigils and calls for peace and understanding – but the Muslim jihadists do not want peace. They want death. 

"The Islamic radicals will not stop until they have killed every last one of us - Christians, Jews, Gay, Straight. 

"The time has come to eliminate this evil from the face of the planet.  The time has come for nations around the world to stop appeasing the Islamists.

" 'We must drive out the terrorists and extremists from our midst, obliterate this evil ideology, and protect and defend our citizens and people of the world," the president said. 

" 'All civilized nations must be united in this effort."

"And we must do our part in the United States.  We must secure our borders, we must investigate those who come here from the birthplace of this radical ideology and we must do whatever is necessary to prevent American blood from being shed on American soil.

"Yet, there are still apologists for the radical Islamists - from Hollywood to the halls of Congress. They seem to think we can win over the hearts and minds of the jihadists with bouquets of flowers and gentle hugs. 

"That sort of philosophy is not only foolish but it's downright dangerous. 

"How many more times do we have to listen to breathless news anchors lecturing us about not rushing to judgment?" . . .

Muslim and Sikh taxi drivers offered free lifts to people affected by Manchester terror attack as community comes together

UK Mirror  "Muslim and Sikh taxi drivers have been praised on social media after offering their services to help victims, friends and relatives caught up in the Manchester attacks. 

"Twitter users were quick to jump to the defence of the city's Muslim community after some have sought to link the attack in Islam."


Manchester taxi driver AJ Singh,a Sikh, was among the generous cabbies helping people out
"One Twitter user wrote: "Last night, while my aunty was frantically searching Manchester for my friend and her cousin, a MUSLIM taxi driver took her to find them."
"Another added: "The taxi driver I saw at around 1am offering free rides at a police cordon a few hundred yards from Manchester Arena was a Muslim." . . .
More on this here.  This post has much to say to those who think Sikhs are Muslim, in some cases exacting revenge on them for Muslim attacks:
"The only problem was that Cosmo knew that the man in the photo is Sikh, not Muslim, and broke journalism’s code of ethics to fool millions."
A Sikh
While Cosmo might downplay their lie as a simple misunderstanding, it’s safe to say that they relied on the fact that most Westerners cannot distinguish the differences between Sikh and Muslim physicalities. While both often wear turbans, a Sikh’s headwrap always comes to an upward “point in the front.” This wrap conceals their hair, which typically remains uncut. Of course, the most crucial difference between Sikhism and Islam is their religious fundamentals. While Sikhism is relatively passive unless defending the innocent, Islam is compulsory in its violent offensive commands. With over 100 scriptures mandating violence, persecution, rape, slavery, and slaughter, Islam is without a doubt, inherently barbaric.
Although Sikhs practice incredible restraint by benevolently offering Muslims respect and tolerance, many understand Islam’s oppressive history and brutal nature. This is why a rebranding of Sikhs as Muslims is highly offensive — and why wouldn’t it be?

What A CNN Guest Let Slip While Talking About Manchester Bombing

Viewers Horrified by What CNN Guest Let Slip While Talking About Manchester Bombing

"The left has been doing everything in their power to cover up the fact that the Manchester bombing was an act of Islamic terrorism. However, things most recently took an absurd turn as a guest on CNN let a dark secret slip while talking about the tragedy on live television – and viewers were left horrified by just 5 disturbing words.
"Daily Caller reports that the incident took place during Anderson Cooper’s AC360 when CNN terror analyst Paul Cruickshank was invited to speak on the attack in England. Although the rest of the world knows that the vile bombing was carried out by a Muslim man named Salman Abedi and that ISIS has claimed responsibility, apparently this isn’t good enough for Cruickshank.

In fact, he used his platform to suggest the unfathomable and managed to tick off a few viewers in the process. According to BizPac Review, viewers were left horrified as the moron let just 5 words slip, saying that the bombing could actually be a “right wing false-flag plot.' ” . . .

Students and Faculty at Orange Coast College Demand Removal of College Republicans

Legal Insurrection

"The College Republicans have exposed instances of conservative students being mistreated and people don’t like that.
"Campus Reform reports:
Students, faculty demand OCC get Republicans ‘out of our face’
Students and faculty stormed the Orange Coast College administration building Monday to protest the release of public records and demand that the administration end its “neutrality” on political issues by removing the College Republicans.
The protest formed in opposition to the OCC College Republicans chapter, which released emails obtained from a public records request showing Professor Jessica Alabi telling OCC President Harkins that she would “stand up” to the club if he did not. The documents also revealed that Alabi later prevented several Republican club members from attending one of her events on campus because they were deemed a threat to the students’ “safe space.”
The CRs have demanded an investigation into Alabi’s behavior, which fits into a wider pattern of faculty hostility toward the club ever since it made national news by released a recording of one professor’s classroom rant calling Donald Trump’s election “an act of terrorism.”
The ensuing firestorm of negative publicity divided the campus, with faculty members issuing a statement calling the audio’s release a “politically motivated act” and then subsequently honoring the professor, Olga Stable-Cox, as “Faculty Member of the Year” in an apparent snub of the CR chapter.
The student who recorded the lecture, Caleb O’Neil, was even temporarily suspended for violating an obscure, rarely-enforced policy prohibiting students from recording their professors in class without prior approval.

Which president?

Melania Didn’t Slap Trump’s Hand Away


Rush Limbaugh  "You know, I meant to mention this yesterday. Let me mention it now and get it out of the way, because this video has gone viral. It reminds me, I got another email today when the president and his entourage arrived via helicopter at the tarmac in Tel Aviv to split for Rome, the helicopter doors open and the president was the first out. The email said, “This guy… You know, after yesterday, I would think this guy would know better! He doesn’t let his wife get off first!

“ 'He storms out, says, ‘Look at me, look at me,’ and his wife comes out meekly a little bit later. It’s unreal the way Trump treats his wife.” I said, “I’d better address this.” Ladies and gentlemen, there is a protocol rule that the president of the United States is always the first through any doorway, including wives, spouses, mistresses, daughters, any other women. The president goes through every doorway first. You know who told me this? Trump! You know how I know this? It’s because he was apologizing for going before my wife through a doorway one day."

Rush remembers Obama ignoring Michelle in 2004:
. . . Oh, my gosh, this is exactly… I remember commenting on this the next day. This was, I think, the 2004 Democrat convention, and Obama was the keynote speaker. He was the guy the Democrats wanted to showcase for the future, and they had Michelle (My Belle) introduce him., and she just did a bang-up job.
I mean, she made it sound like this is the only man on earth anybody ought to like, look at, pay attention to. She made herself sound like the luckiest woman on earth to have had his babies (and what had to happen for that to happen). She made it sound like this guy was the closest thing to divinity on earth. She just went on and on and on. She kept referring to, “My man! My hero! My one and only! Barack Obama,” and he walked out and ignored her. I will never forget it. . . .

Obama intel agency secretly conducted illegal searches on Americans for years

Circa  "The National Security Agency under former President Barack Obama routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts and failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall, according to once top-secret documents that chronicle some of the most serious constitutional abuses to date by the U.S. intelligence community.

"More than 5 percent, or one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011, according to one classified internal report reviewed by Circa." . . .

People leave tributes and light candle by City Hall in Manchester for victims of the Manchester concert bomb attack

Manchester’s islamist appeasing police and politicians have blood on their hands  "In the months before weeping little girls with nails in their faces were carried out of the Manchester Arena, the authorities of that city were hard at work fighting the dreaded threat of Islamophobia." . . . 


. . . "After the attack, Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham vowed on camera, “terrorists will never beat us”. The terrorists don’t need to beat Burnham. He’ll eagerly collaborate without so much as a single slap.

"Last year the left-wing politician fought the government’s efforts to crack down on Islamic terror. “It is creating a feeling in the Muslim community that it is being spied upon and unfairly targeted,” he whined.
"Terrorists will never beat us. Unless they have their useful idiots operating on the inside for whom Muslim feelings come first and little girls being torn to pieces by shrapnel come last.
"Burnham accused opponents of Islamic terror of racism, xenophobia and all the usual stuff. He insisted that there was a huge Islamophobia problem that was being hidden because Muslims were too afraid of the police to report this rash of imaginary crimes.
" 'There’s a lot of people in this country not necessarily at risk from ‘Islamic extremism’ but it’s far-right extremism," Andy insisted.
"This is what led to the Manchester Arena bombing. Mayor Burnham sold out the police. The police sold out the people. The authorities were chasing Islamophobia when they should have been fighting Islamic terror." . . .

Meanwhile we get tender, feely editorial responses like this:

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel
Are there no British leaders such as Margaret Thatcher, or Winston Churchill and the great War Cabinet that stood against Hitler and against their own left wing pacifist elements? 
As with WW2, the people had to gather courage and resolve which they did. Churchill even had a pacifist, leftist press to combat, but at least not a television or motion picture deluge that mocked him daily and hourly. At least Neville Chamberlain wasn't on dozens of magazine covers  such as Cosmo and Glamour as he sold out allies and his own country. 

Both Britain and the US had pro-Hitler factions, but they turned and joined the fight against Naziism when they saw for themselves it's horrors. TD

Hey, California, Ready To Spend $400 Billion For Your Single-Payer Disaster?

"Californians need to wake up to the fact that they've put the most far-left state government in American history into power, and will soon pay dearly for it." . . .

unicorn ca

Investors.com  "CaliCare: California's so-called progressive Democrats, fresh off their classy "flipping off" of Donald Trump at their state convention, now want to flip off the entire state by imposing a reckless, economy-destroying single-payer health care system on the state's citizens. If voters don't stop this madness they'll get what they deserve.

"A study by the Senate Appropriations Committee of the state legislature found that a proposed single-payer system would cost $400 billion a year — more than twice the state's current bloated budget of $182 billion. To say that it would be the fiscal and economic ruin of California is an understatement.

" 'As the Sacramento Bee notes, half the tab would come in the form of a new tax of about 15% on all earned income. That's in addition to the 13%-plus state income tax already levied on Californians. That would still leave as much as $100 billion in new spending that would have to be paid for somehow. No doubt, they'll go after businesses for that.

" 'The state has already lost millions of residents and thousands of businesses because of its excessive taxation and onerous regulations. The ruinous taxation from single-payer health care would lead to a mass exodus of companies and what remains of the once-thriving middle class. Californians need to wake up to the fact that they've put the most far-left state government in American history into power, and will soon pay dearly for it." . . .

Want Single-Payer, California? Go for It!  . . . "Everybody else has to pay it for them. That’s why $400 billion isn’t gonna be enough. What do you think a 15% payroll tax is gonna do to job creation in California? What’s gonna happen to the California economy? They’re not even thinking of that. They’re just thinking about how wonderful it sounds to promote single payer, and they think that at $400 billion, they should do it. They also have a plan for a fast train (I forget the term they use for it) from LA to San Francisco. That’s $64 billion for the super-fast train, now $400 billion for state-run single payer, and the California budget at present maxes out at $180 billion.

"And the only mechanism they have is new taxes. A payroll tax of 15%, they say, would cover it. And if you analyze that, the only… A static analysis might give you somewhere… But there’s no way that people are gonna pay that. If there’s a 15% payroll tax, what do you think businesses are gonna do? They’re gonna let people off. That’s just unacceptable. That’s 15% on top of what the federal is! I mean, it’s absurd, and yet they’re dead serious about it. I hope it happens. I hope they actually move on this. I hope there is public action on this that the American people are able to witness."

Ca State representative supports free medical care for illegal residents
The actual story here.
. . . “ 'Doctors and hospitals would no longer need to negotiate rates and deal with insurance companies to seek reimbursement,” Lara said."Insurance groups, health plans and Kaiser Permanente are against the bill. Industry representatives say California should focus on improving the Affordable Care Act. Business groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, have deemed the bill a “job-killer.”“ 'A single-payer system is massively, if not prohibitively expensive,” said Nick Louizos, vice president of legislative affairs for the California Association of Health Plans.“ 'It will cost employers and taxpayers billions of dollars and result in significant loss of jobs in the state,” the Chamber of Commerce said in its opposition letter." . . .

Shock: Here's How Trump Supporters Lose Acting Gigs

Hollywood In Toto
Trump supporters in Hollywood might find work even harder to come by since Jan. 20, according to a revelation by comic actor Jimmy Yang.

Yang dropped by “The Adam and Dr. Drew Show” earlier this week to talk about his HBO series “Silicon Valley.” And, of course, “help save some babies,” as frequent guest David Alan Grier calls the hosts’ advocacy.

. . . "The podcast chat soon steered into ABC’s cancellation of “Last Man Standing.” The popular sitcom starred Tim Allen, a conservative playing a conservative named Mike Baxter. Some on the right questioned why ABC would ditch a ratings winner featuring one of TV’s biggest stars.
"Could the industry’s hard-left politics be to blame?
"That’s when Yang dropped this bomb on the podcast hosts.
"Yang described a conversation he had recently with a casting executive at “one of the studios” in Hollywood. Yang wanted to know if the person cared how many Instagram followers someone had before hiring them. In our social media age, having a large cyber following can be attractive to some employers.
“ 'I do check the Instagrams to see if there’s anything weird, if they get drunk every day or if they’re a Trump supporter,” Yang recalls her saying. “Then, I don’t know. I would have a hard time…”
“ 'That’s messed up, though,” Yang says about her confession. “Aren’t you being a bigot in a way?”
"It might be more than just one casting executive, though.
"Earlier this year The Los Angeles Times wrote about the discrimination conservatives face in Hollywood for simply espousing a different political viewpoint.
"Trump supporters, apparently, have it the worst." . . .

Good PR for Trump, I'd say: Al-Qaeda Slams Trump as 'Hateful Crusader Master,' Issues Fresh Call for Jihad

PJ Media


. . . "While visiting the kingdom, Trump helped inaugurate the Saudi government's new  Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology.

"Al-Qaeda called the gathering in Riyadh the "summit of shame*."

" 'So what did the Muslims and their scholars prepare for the hard days ahead, to face this blatant apostasy, clear betrayal, and unprecedented thievery?" the terror group added. "So here are the Crusaders and the apostates, and they have stolen your money, fought your religion, shed your blood, and transgressed against your honor. When will you return to your religion and do jihad in the cause of Allah?"

"Past issues of the Al-Nafir Bulletin have included mocking Arab rulers for being at the mercy of "the kicks of the high heels" of Ambassador Nikki Haley and telling jihadists to go forth and just kill Americans without any Islamic consultations first."

* Their feelings should line up pretty well with Democrats and Hollywood.
