The American leadership who protect us from Jihadis

How Obama’s failed leadership is literally killing us  "Attacks can only be stopped by a competent commander in chief"

They Don't Want Your AR-15: They Want Everything  . . . "It doesn’t matter that banning the AR-15 would have zero effect on what was done, or what the next jihad assault will do. All that matters is that murders create political capital and useful propaganda that influence useful idiots to press Congress to act against the Constitution. And they do. For shame." . . .


Group Behind #ShootBack Posters Says Gay Community Can't Protect Families if Elected Officials Disarm Them

. . . "The #ShootBack hashtag on the gay rainbow flag with the pro-gun Gadsden symbol was clearly a provocative response to Sunday's attack on the gay nightclub in Orlando where 49 people were killed. There has been much speculation about who was responsible for the street art, but no one has come forward to claim responsibility ... until now." . . .

The problem with this administration isn’t just them not using the term, “radical Islam”. These people don’t even believe jihadis when they say they want to kill us for Allah.   . . . "The guy said he was going to kill people for Allah and he was out buying bulk ammo and body armor, or trying to. His Facebook page was filled with jihadi-this and jihadi-that.
"These loons believe a 220 lb. guy with a  crew cut who says he’s a woman and they believe a woman who says she’s a man, but they don’t believe a guy who says he’s jihadi and he’s going to kill people." . . .

We Need More Islamophobia, Not Less

ObamaAccuracy in Media  "The media say President Obama is good at sharing condolences with victims of terrorism. It would be better for him to apologize to the victims and their families. He should start by saying, “I’m sorry that my FBI failed to stop this radical Islamic killer. I bear responsibility for this failure of intelligence.” 

"Orlando is where we really need an Obama apology tour to begin. In the past, he has apologized to foreigners for American foreign policy. Now he needs to apologize to Americans for allowing a foreign ideology to flourish in the United States, one which he has refused to name and condemn.
"On Tuesday, when he rejected a ban on Muslim immigration, Obama said, “The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer—they were all U.S. citizens.” What was his point? That the Muslim refugees are not a threat but their children are? Is that supposed to be reassuring? Does it make sense to import more Muslims and let them raise children as Americans who then assume the foreign identity of the jihadists who want to kill us? Is that somehow acceptable? Doesn’t that increase the odds of having more killers on American soil?" . . .

Obama mourns and keeps moving

WaPo

. . . "One day after the president made a somber visit to Orlando, the first family was on vacation here Friday.
"The three-day family trip to national parks in Carlsbad, N.M., and Yosemite, Calif., was planned long before the tragic attack that killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando last weekend. Timed to the 100th anniversary of the creation of the national park system, the excursion had a policy component: aiming to draw attention to the conservation of federal lands and protecting the environment.
"But regardless of the motivation for the trip, the timing — a day after Obama had laid flowers at a memorial to the shooting victims in Orlando — made for a sharp juxtaposition at a time of intensified debate over national security and terrorism." . . . 

If this president says it, it must be true

How Bad Can 'Politically Correct' get?

The couple did not have enough money to fly home together so they had to part ways. Mrs O'Keefe was left devastated while her husband had to get home to Perth from Indonesia

Richard F. Miniter   "A man flicks a cigarette butt off a P&O cruise ship and is thrown off the ship, leaving his wife to travel onwards alone sobbing in her room. Huh? 
 (Man is kicked off a P&O cruise after flicking a cigarette butt off the side 'without thinking' - leaving his wife on board alone after they had saved up for their dream trip for a year)

"The first time I crossed the Pacific (23 days to Okinawa) was on Naval MSTS with 3000 other Marines on board, most of whom were smoking topside all the time and all of whom had their cigarette butts swept over the side into the ocean every two hours. Indeed, I can still here that voice over the ship’s horn “sweepers man your brooms…” 
"But that was then and this is now and today a single cigarette butt can be defined as a crime by the PC police. Not the empty plastic spring water bottles you see bobbing around which the better people drink from, or the psychotropic drugs you can detect in the ocean fifty miles off Beverly Hills, not to mention Rio's "Crap Line" which encompasses the Olympic sailing venue forcing competitors to do their best not to get that water in in their mouths. But a single accidental cigarette butt! 
"And so 57-year-old Mark O'Keefe, a man of limited means who saved up for this holiday, and who apologized profusely for a thoughtless moment, was frog-marched ashore in Bali without an any way to get home. The former Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company -- P&O -- had a long proud history serving its customers dating from the nineteenth century, but now as P&O Cruises owned by Carnival, their primary interest seems to be making common cause with the PC mob."

Why the Orlando Victims were Defenseless


American Thinker  . . . "What if, Mr. President, residents of Orlando and San Bernardino hadn’t been so intimidated by the fear of being called racists, a consequence of you and your administration’s political correctness, that they said something when they saw something? As Fox News reported, a Sen Bernardino woman observed preparations for the attack but said nothing:
 A California woman reportedly noticed “suspicious activity” at a house connected one of the Muslim terrorists in the San Bernardino massacre but did want “profile” him, amid questions about how family members and others could have overlooked the stockpile of ammunition and explosives left behind in his home.
 

. . . "Yet President Obama said nothing about the dangers of political correctness to the Orlando families. Overlooked in the news coverage of the Orlando and San Bernardino shootings was the Oregon massacre that wasn’t at Clackamas Town Center Mall in December of 2012. As Investor’s Business Daily noted, fortune placed a good guy with a gun at the same place a bad guy with a gun planned a massacre:" . . .

"Disarming the law-abiding to prevent such killings is like trying to fight drunk driving by making it harder for sober drivers to get driver’s licenses. We don’t need more gun-free zones populated with unarmed targets. We do need more people able to defend themselves.
"There was no such person at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, but there was one at Clackamas, Oregon. Let us draw our lesson, Mr. President, from that."

Gun control laws either do not work or do not help

Even though I'm still sickened by images of the Sandy Hook carnage, I fear the conclusion I am forced to draw Is discussed below, TD

AR5
bloviatingzeppelin


From the Dec, 2012 Tunnel Wall:  Seeking an effective argument FOR gun control    Here, two respected writers discuss the case against taking away individual firearms from Americans. Yes, it is true that if guns did not exist everywhere in this nation those little children in Sandy Hook would be living right now and I only wish that were the case. But it is not and there are violent people out there in their thousands and they are armed; willing and lusting to watch innocent people die in bunches by their hands. How, exactly do you gun-control advocates plan to remove those weapons from their blood-thirsty hands?

I will honestly look for a reasoned argument FOR gun control that contains effective means for keeping us safe from those who carry weapons illegally and are willing to do us harm. Cartoons showing crazed, wild-eyed gun owners don't wash.

As yet, I have seen only politically correct, emotional responses to the issue that have no value other than simply making a politician look as if they are doing something. TD


"Gun sales are sky-rocketing, as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the FBI, and pretty much everyone else in charge of America says two things: they can’t or won’t protect Americans from Muslim terrorists, but they want to take away the most effective tool for law-abiding Americans to protect themselves."


Gun Shop Owner Warned FBI Weeks Before Orlando Terrorist Attacked
"The FBI knew about this guy and did nothing. According to this former FBI assistant director, it’s because the White House is handcuffing the FBI."   


The Bizarro Morality of America’s Gun-Control Debate   . . . "The gun-control debate is a Bizarro World unto itself, one where activists, writers, and politicians — operating with an attitude of absolute moral superiority — operate according to their own “bizarro code” with three main tenets: Make up history, propose ineffective remedies, and mock proven solutions." . . .
. . . that all good people should respond to a mass shooting by supporting legislation that wouldn’t have prevented that mass shooting.
I will support these laws because I am sensitive and, well, just a really, really nice guy.

Ted Cruz Blasts Democrat ‘Political Gamesmanship’ in Wake of Orlando Terror Attack

toon1600618

Chris Pandolfo  “ 'This week played out all too predictably.” Cruz said. He blasted Democrats for shifting to gun-control and in particular characterized Senator Chris Murphy’s (F, 8%) filibuster as “a political show on the Senate floor.”

“ 'This is political distraction; this is political gamesmanship.” Cruz said. “And I think the American people find it ridiculous … this is not a gun-control issue. This is a terrorism issue.”

“ 'You don’t defeat terrorism by taking away guns,” he added later, “you defeat terrorism by using guns.”

Fighting Terror with Stupidity   . . . "Over and over again, news outlets uncritically reported on the “common-sense” effort to implement more stringent background checks and get rid of automatic weapons, AR-15s, and other “assault” weapons. Well, automatic weapons — i.e., machine guns — are already essentially banned for civilians. And the weapon used in Orlando wasn’t an assault weapon or an AR-15. As for background checks, they already exist." Jonah Goldberg

Some feminist doesn’t feel bad that a child was killed by an alligator because…white privilege?

Hot Air  "I’m going to say that this is just a bad joke, or bad trolling, because I cannot believe there is someone this unhinged in reaction to the death of a two-year-old. An unnamed feminist literally doesn’t feel bad that a small child was killed by an alligator attack at Disney World’s Seven Seas Lagoon because the family is white—so this obviously is the right time to discuss white privilege, right? Nope. Sorry, I don’t do drugs, but I seriously think this has to be a very, very, very bad joke. I could be wrong—and the progressive left has entered a new evolution of idiocy and insanity (it wouldn’t shock me)."


"The Twitter account of this person, who is despicable, has gone into the bunker, deleted for now—but screenshots were taken. Here’s what “Brienne of Snarth,” who tweets under the handle @femme_esq, said thanks to Heat Street:" . . .  Language advisory

What does 'getting weapons of war off our streets' really mean?

Political Cartoons by Henry Payne

American Thinker  . . . "It escapes commentary that the AR-15 and like semi-automatics are ubiquitous in state and city police (including the NYPD) and county sheriffs' departments and SWAT teams everywhere.  See here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

"That these law enforcement officer organizations seek to use these weapons to defend life and property, the exact same motivation as that of virtually all civilians purchasers of those weapons (even with dual purpose hunting use), just shows that the LEOs don't recognize that these are just weapons of war suited only for the battlefield!" . . .

It’s not about stopping shooters, it’s about identity politics.  "In the wake of the San Bernardino shooting, the actor Samuel L. Jackson said that he hoped it would turn out that the killer was a white man. David Sirota wrote the same thing after the Boston marathon bombing, in an article headlined “Let’s hope the Boston marathon bomber is a white American.” Jackson and Sirota were disappointed: Both atrocities were carried out by Muslims of Middle Eastern origin as expressions of solidarity with the worldwide Islamist enterprise." . . . 

With Obama in control, America will be loved and respected again!

Pet Victim

America has suffered a terror attack every year under Obama  . . . "Here we are in the eighth year of his presidency, and the nation has now suffered eight significant attacks by Islamist terrorists on US soil or diplomatic property — an average of one attack a year since Obama’s been in office, with each new attack seemingly worse than the last.
And there’s six long months left to go.
"Obama said Orlando “marks the most deadly shooting in American history.” Actually, it was the second-worst act of terrorism in American history, replacing in six short months the San Bernardino massacre as the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11.
"Here are the previous seven:" . . .
