Student group sues Oregon State University in federal court over unfairness
Today we listened to David French, Senior Counsel of the Alliance Defense Fund, on the Michael Medved Show. OSU apparently confiscated copies of the conservative leaning paper on campus and threw them in the trash, claiming that it was necessary to beautify the campus, while extending an exemption to the "progressive" official campus newspaper. It's up for discussion whether the university exercised their power responsibly in this case - you all can debate that - but we just have to say:
There is no anti-conservative bias on American campuses. None. It's in your head. Don't act craaaaaaazy.

Obama to Iran: 2 wks to allow inspections
President Obama delivered an ultimatum to Iran Thursday, saying it must allow international inspectors "unfettered access" to its recently disclosed nuclear facility at Qom in two weeks or face increased pressure from the international community.
That pressure would likely come in the form of tougher sanctions on the Iranian government and on Iranian firms operating internationally. Such measures could target the country's oil and gas sector, as well as firms that insure shipments to Iran.
The Mad Mullahs don't care about sanctions. Anything done to Iran to reign in their nuclear ambitions will be sold for internal consumption as plot by the Great Satan and Little Satan to attack Iran.
Only one thing will stop the Mad Mullahs.
Only one. It's too late to strike the nuclear sites. There is only one option remains elimination of those seeking the bomb. Removing the current regime, and supporting those moderate elements in who will open the nuclear program is the only sure thing left.
Or the paranoid in me says CC does it on purpose

ReplyDeleteI think yesterday the discussion was why Obama hasn't been bothered to confer with the General in Afghanistan in over seventy days.

The last sentence of that article sums it up though:
I hear Grimsley - especially on that last point. But still, given how dire the situation is in Afghanistan — and given Obama’s willingness to dive head-first into relatively-trivial matters like the Olympics — I think I’d like to see that Commander-in-Chief more deeply involved.
When he is really interested in something, He'll hit all 5 sunday gabfests, David Letterman, a speech to the joint session, etc, etc....
What is he really doing about the TWO WARS we are fighting? I am guessing he is reading a one page summary each morning, and then not giving it much more thought.
It is clear Afghanistan is not on his mind...and Iraq? Forget Iraq...we are done there, even if we are not done there.

Add to the mix Obama's tabling of McChrystal's request for troops.....
Would Obama be doing what he is doing right now if he was interested in Victory ?
ReplyDeleteNo.
He's not.
We'll see in the next few months if Obama is going to pull he head out and do something.
ReplyDeleteMaybe after his latest attempt to negotiate with the nonnegotiable fails, he can spend a little time taking care of business?
In the meantime, our brave soldiers will continue to serve and die without a plan. Pathetic

ReplyDeleteAnother question would be what would The Teleprompter Jesus be doing differently if he wanted to LOSE the war in Afghanistan? The answer to this question is very revealing.

ReplyDeleteTo a leftist there can be no such thing as "victory" until all people are free from exploitation and oppression. So long as there is one kid who complains about not having enough to eat or one WWFF at the exit ramp, there can be no victory.
ReplyDeleteIt is an attitude Aristotle associated with the young. He described youthful "idealism" as a defect of courage -- since nothing can ever live up to their ideals, nothing is worth doing (except bong hits, but a man's gotta live, right?).

ReplyDeleteIPCC author Professor Mojib Latif has back down from warming...
Scientists pull an about face on global warming
When a leading proponent for one point of view suddenly starts batting for the other side, it's usually newsworthy.
So why was a speech last week by Prof. Mojib Latif of Germany's Leibniz Institute not given more prominence?
Latif is one of the leading climate modellers in the world. He is the recipient of several international climate-study prizes and a lead author for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has contributed significantly to the IPCC's last two five-year reports that have stated unequivocally that man-made greenhouse emissions are causing the planet to warm dangerously.
Yet last week in Geneva, at the UN's World Climate Conference--an annual gathering of the so-called "scientific consensus" on man-made climate change --Latif conceded the Earth has not warmed for nearly a decade and that we are likely entering "one or even two decades during which temperatures cool."
JCM -- that can't be! There is absolute "consensus"! The only person who doesn't believe it is George Will, and he lied!
ReplyDeleteLalalalalalalalalala I don't hear anything!
sasquatchonsteroids,
ReplyDeleteWould Obama be doing what he is doing right now if he was interested in Victory ?
No.
He's not.
He is a liberal, in a liberal mindset there is no winner as well as there are no losers.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I couldn't make any Kibbeh -- was missing a couple of key ingredients

ReplyDeletePerhaps I'll make some this weekend. It takes a while, but is worth it.
what is kibbeh?
ReplyDeleteJCM,
ReplyDeleteIPCC author Professor Mojib Latif has back down from warming...
Didn't we talk about M. Latif a few days ago? That media addicted scientist who has been on the news every time there was something to talk about climate here in Germany.
While Latif states that the earth's temperatures haven't risen.
The hockey-stick claimed that the temperatures have risen particularly dramatic in the 1990s and that the temperatures never where higher than in that decade. - >No more it seems to be utterly disproved.
Those two news signify that man-made global warming is an utter hoax. No more, no less.
Kibbeh is a middle eastern specialty made of bulgar and seasoned ground lamb. You make a shell of mostly bulgar, minced lamb, and onion; that is then stuffed with a filling that has bulgar and lamb with the proportions more or less reversed (more lamb than bulgar). Usually seasoned with lots of pepper, hot paprika, allspice, cinammon, and sumac. Stuff the shell, seal it, and then fry until golden brown.
ReplyDeleteThis is what it looks like
I also make a vegetarian version where I substitute pumpkin for the lamb and season a bit differently with a stuffing of chick peas, walnuts, and spinach. It is also really yummy.
Good afternoon/evening everyone! It looks like I'm just in time for dinner at the Septimius residence. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe are having what we loosely call Greek night - kuftah (Greek meatballs, in this case made with ground turkey), hummus, tabbouleh, tzatziki sauce, rice and salad. We are not as ambitious as Lucius - only the meatballs are homemade. And actually, it's ready now, so I'm out -- I'll try to stop by the pub later on.
Govt. Workers Surf Porn On Job
ReplyDeleteMisconduct among federal employees is so rampant at one government agency that its overwhelmed inspector general has drastically scaled back on its duty to investigate fraud and recover wasted tax dollars to focus on the internal crisis.
In one case a senior NSF executive spent at least 331 days viewing porn on his government computer and chatting online with naked women without getting caught. Investigators say the porn surfing cost taxpayers between $13,800 and $58,000. A separate employee accessed hundreds of pornographic web sites during work hours in a three-week period and another was caught with hundreds of photos, videos and slide shows containing porn.
Let's give them more control over the economy.

She's wearing something most people have hanging in their closet. Wasn't custom made in Italy specifically for her.

ReplyDeleteIs global warming shrinking Mount Rainier?
ReplyDeleteA survey marker atop the Northwest's tallest peak sure makes it look that way.
Protruding from the summit with nearly 2 feet of pipe high and dry, the marker appears to have melted out of the ice cap that covers the mountain's highest point.
Not so fast says USGS.
The marker was installed by the USGS in 1956 on bare ground on Rainier's crater rim, more than 200 feet from the actual summit. The rocky rim is almost always snow-free, swept bare by wind and warmed by steam that rises from the volcano's depths.
[]
The marker almost certainly weathered out of the rocky ground naturally, Signani said. Someone probably found it and carried it to the summit.
"Maybe it was just laying up there in that strewn rock and eroded material for a long time," said Signani, who searched for the marker in 1988, armed with precise coordinates and a metal detector.
When he didn't find it, he assumed someone had carried it off as a souvenir.
Obama appointee lauded NAMBLA figure
ReplyDeleteKevin Jennings, President Obama's Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education, is in hot water this week for having failed to report that a 15-year-old sophomore student in his school had told him of having sex with an older man.
But failure to report what appeared to be a case of statuatory rape of a child may be the least of Jennings' worries. Lori Roman of Regular Folks United points to statements by Jennings a decade or more ago when he praised Harry Hay of the North American Association for Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes the legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
Roman provides damning details and links here. She also notes that Jennings wrote the forward "to a book called Queering Elementary Education. And another fellow you may have heard of wrote one of the endorsements on the book jacket—Bill Ayers." Ayers, of course, is the Weather Underground bomber from the 1960s who is just an "acquaintance" of Obama.
Every presidential administration ends up with scandals inspired by controversial appointees, but typically those tend to revolve around financial improprieties, conflicts of interest, or some other form of white-collar misconduct. For Obama, the scandals seem to be develping in a pattern of disclosures revolving around radical left ideology that raises questions about their fitness for any job in government.
And that in turn raises the inevitable question: Is nobody minding the White House personnel store?

On the second half of that video they talk of the EU referendum that is being held in Ireland shortly.

ReplyDeleteI remember the ugly mood in Israel then — a mood in which extreme right-wing settlers and politicians were doing all they could to delegitimize Rabin, who was committed to trading land for peace as part of the Oslo accords. They questioned his authority. They accused him of treason. They created pictures depicting him as a Nazi SS officer, and they shouted death threats at rallies. His political opponents winked at it all.

ReplyDeleteObama is making those critical spending cuts...
ReplyDelete26 members of Territorial Guard could lose funds.
The Guardsmen are among those assigned to protect Alaska from the Japanese during World War II. The Army decided this year it would no longer count service in the Guard when it calculates the military's 20-year minimum for retirement pay -- although it still counts for military benefits. As a result, those eligible for pensions saw them decreased in January.
An estimated 300 members are still living from the original 6,600-member unit formed in 1942 to protect Alaska, then a territory, from attack. The 26 men have enough other military service to reach the 20-year minimum for retirement pay but would see it decreased if their Territorial Guard service doesn't count.
I hope my real computer comes back to life. I hate typing on this little thing. More typos than normal coming down the pike.
