Why the silence about such a brutal event? It’s hard to understand.

From the Daily Mail – “The student accused of murdering and raping his teacher was seen in surveillance footage rolling a recycling bin down a hallway and outside the school in court on Monday. Philip Chism, 16, sat quietly and emotionless while jurors watched video of him dragging the large blue recycling bin the prosecution claims contained the body of Colleen Ritzer, his math teacher at Danvers High School in Massachusetts.”

He is then seen returning to school with his pants covered in a dark red substance that appears to be blood. Fox Boston reports that jurors also saw footage of Chism walking into a nearby AMC movie theater that afternoon where a ticket for the film Gravity was purchased by someone on Ritzer’s credit card.

Chism, who was 14 at the time in October 2013, has admitted to killing his 24-year-old teacher, but is pleading not guilty on the grounds of insanity. Jurors also heard on Monday that Ritzer’s blood was found on a box cutter which was in Chism’s backpack as well as all the clothes he was seen wearing on the surveillance footage.”

Instead, we get to hear all about how a 17-year-old Black kid brandishing a knife and high on PCP, was gun down by a White Chicago cop. The media is quick to get on a news story like that fits their agenda which simply put claims “White people hate Black people and Black people can do no wrong.”

No word of condemnation yet from President Obama. And the Progressive media’s pretty fucking quiet too.

Remember the 133-year-old Winchester rifle found under a tree in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park in November 2014? The folks at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Cody Firearms Museum in Cody, Wyoming have given it the once-over and are sharing some of their findings

The butt of the old Winchester was buried in 4 or 5 inches of dirt and debris from the tree, completely obscuring its metal butt plate and the lower portion of its stock. The gun was uncocked, its chamber and magazine empty, its metal rusted.

The rifle sat there, leaning against a juniper tree on a remote outcrop, since at least 1930, but it could have been left as far back as 1900.

An X-ray of the rifle discovered a cartridge tucked inside its stock where the cleaning rod is normally kept. The .44-40 caliber bullet in the rifle was removed and traced back to its long-gone manufacturer: Connecticut-based Union Metallic Cartridge Co.

The cartridge was made sometime between 1889 and 1911, before the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. merged with Remington in 1912.

The rifle was manufactured in February 1882 and shipped from Winchester’s factory in New Haven, Connecticut in June 1882. But the Winchester records did not reveal where the gun was shipped or what happened to it after that.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is financially insolvent heading into the 2016 election year. Federal Election Commission records reveal the DNC reported a nearly million-dollar debt, marking the fourth month in a row that the DNC spent more money than it took in.

The DNC raised $4,456,789 in the month of October, according to its most recent filing. But the committee spent $5,254,928, for a net loss of $798,139.

That’s not quite as bad as September, when the party took in $4,296,011 but spent $5,504,823 for a net loss of more than $1.2 million. The DNC has only $4,703,185 in cash on hand against a $6,921,661 debt.

California Lt. Governor Gavin ‘Any Twosome’ Newsom wants to lead a fight against gun ownership — yet has spent millions of taxpayer dollars to surround himself with armed security.

When he was Mayor of San Francisco he spent upward of $72 million of the taxpayers money on personal protection. Then Newsom was elected to the position of Lt. Governor in 2010, assuming the office in 2011.

And the very next year, in July 2012, the Los Angles Times reported that the cost for providing security for Lt Governor Newsom was up nearly $30,000 above what it had been for his predecessor. According to the Times:

“The state spent $93,379 through May in the just-completed fiscal year on CHP protection for Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who took office at the start of 2011. The amount is up from the $65,954 spent in the previous fiscal year, the first half protecting Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, and the second half protecting Newsom.”

Here’s the bottom line: Newsom does not think allowing average Americans to be armed for self-defense does any good. But he has no problem spending millions to surround himself with armed security as mayor and to increase expenditures for armed security by $30,000 once he became Lt. Governor.

Al Hijra is happening now, along with violent Islamic jihadism. This is the current phase in which we find ourselves today.

We need leaders who are students of history and comprehend the various phases of Islam (or who are at least willing to admit to the facts.) First Mecca, Medina, Second Mecca and the global jihad.

Those who continue to drone on about the “peaceful” Islam must come to realize that period is what’s called the First Mecca phase and lasted from 610-622 AD. Upon Mohammad departing Mecca, in what’s referred to as Al Hijra for Medina, Islam took a violent turn — starting with the Nakhla raid, led by Mohammad, followed by approximately another 30 combat operations.

This ended with the taking of Mecca, second phase, in the 628 AD Battle of the Trenches. At Mohammad’s command, some 3,000 male members of the Banu Qurayza tribe were beheaded.

Then came the export of Islamic jihadism globally, initiated by Mohammad’s letter to Byzantine Emperor Heraclius offering three options — conversion, subjugation/submission or death.

It took a while, but Constantinople fell in 1453 AD. And if it hadn’t been for the Venetian fleet’s victory at the naval Battle of Lepanto in 1571 and the Germanic and Polish knights’ at the Gates of Vienna in 1683, Europe could look very different.

Even Thomas Jefferson realized after meeting with the Dey of Algiers in Paris that this is an enemy that can’t be appeased, and paying jizya is a version of subjugation. And some things haven’t changed as we still have people who say we don’t need to respond with strength and might, because that’ll just inflame the situation.

Instead of clapping, start snapping. It’s called ‘snapplause.’

No really. And it’s triggering women anxieties, sending them running for their safe spaces.

It began when Britain’s National Union of Students, who were holding a conference on women’s issues, when someone tweeted, “Some delegates are requesting that we move to jazz hands rather than clapping, as it’s triggering anxiety. Please be mindful!”

Now Amherst professor Ilan Stavans, who teaches Latin American and Latino culture, is backing up that claim, saying “Finger-snapping is done delicately, respectfully, democratically, always in the middle of an event, whereas hand-clapping, which is by definition louder and more disruptive, is invariably reserved for the end. Also, finger-snapping, when done this way, always lasts, in totto, only a few seconds and is generally repeated three times in a row.”

Can someone please explain why clapping is a trigger, because I don’t get it?

New York Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez unveiled new legislation to curb gun violence, in which she cited a gun crime figure that shows she didn’t do all her homework. Velázquez’s announcement of the new bill, she featured a statistic about the number of guns stolen each year:

“Across the U.S., almost 600,000 guns are stolen each year from private homes. New York streets are often a destination for guns lost or stolen in states with more permissive gun laws.”

Velázquez’s figure is not backed up by the Bureau Justice Statistics which calculated approximately 232,500 stolen firearms per year, or one-third of Velázquez’s claim.

As this charade played out on Capital Hill, U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross sentenced Jalita Johnson to only a year of probation, 180 days of home confinement and 40 hours of community service for straw purchasing a firearm used in the murder of Omaha Police Officer Kerrie Orozco.

Johnson wrote on the purchase form that she was buying the gun for herself. She later admitted she was buying it on behalf of her boyfriend Marcus Wheeler, a convicted felon.

Police say Wheeler killed Officer Orozco on May 20 when he opened fire on officers trying to arrest him. Wheeler was killed when another officer returned fire.

President Obama appointed Ross to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in December 2013.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration also released thousands of violent felons, many with previous firearms charges to roam the streets. Oh, and don’t forget, the President is still considering executive action on gun control for legal gun owners.

And as we wait — Connecticut officials are urging owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish them to the police or make them permanently inoperable. The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection sent a letter to owners who had failed to register the items by a January 1 deadline, part of last year’s gun control law.

Finally, a 6-year-old in Ohio was suspended from school for three days, after using an imaginary weapon during recess. The boy was playing a game of Power Rangers during a school break when he pretended to shoot another student with an imaginary bow and arrow.

It seems that our society is being ‘fundamentally transformed’ using lies, lawlessness, over-regulation and a lack of imagination.

Fast-food workers recently protested in support of a federal $15-an-hour minimum wage. The main argument is that employees believe they are living below the poverty line, which suggests an inability to provide a family with food, clothing, and shelter.

First off, employment in the fast-food industry, unless upper management, should be an entry-position and not a permanent job. Secondly, over-taxation has a lot to do with how much money is left on the employees’ paycheck by the time he or she gets it.

In New York State, the sales tax rate is now 4-percent and as high as 8.875-percent in certain municipalities. Meanwhile, New York City’s income tax rate is 8.82-percent.

On the Left Coast, California adds a mandatory local rate of one-percent that increases the total state sales and use tax base to 7.5-percent and depending on local municipalities, the total tax rate maybe as high as 10-percent.

Unfortunately, the poverty line is jus’ an imaginary boundary established by government bureaucrats to rationalize their existence. The average poor person, as defined by the government, has a living standard far higher than you’d imagine.

The federal government claims that a family of four making less than $24,250 is below the poverty line. Breaking it down as one parent working, that’s $11.66 per hour, which actually is above the federal minimum wage of $7.25.

Using New York’s tax rate, that $24,250 per year suffers a 36-percent tax burden. So it isn’t the so-called low wage – it’s the taxation.

However, the typical household defined as poor by the government also has a car, air conditioning, three televisions with cable or satellite programming, a DVD player, two or more smart phones, a personal computer with Internet service and a printer.

The family also has a game system, like an Xbox or a PlayStation. In the kitchen, there’s a refrigerator, oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher and a coffee maker, with other household conveniences that include a washer and dryer and ceiling fans.

In the end, poor families certainly struggle to make ends meet, but in most cases, they are struggling to pay for comforts as well as to put food on the table. Their living standards are far different from the images of dire deprivation promoted by activists and the mainstream media.

There is a difference between real poverty and modern conveniences – it’s the gap between want and need — but you have to be willing to be truthful about where that line’s drawn. Plus you need to know that a healthy reduction in taxation also means more money come payday.

You’re jus’ blowing smoke up my ass when you claim the Jewish refugee crisis of World War II is anything like the so-called Syrian exodus of today.

First, the Jews were not a terror threat and there is evidence that terrorists are hiding among Syrian refugees. Then there is the fact that the Jews were singled out for persecution by the Nazis and were not initially escaping a war.

Next, the Jews had nowhere to go as they didn’t have a homeland until after it was turned back over to them in 1948. On the other hand Syrian refugees have many places to go as there are 57 member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Opposition to Jewish refugee crisis was “racial.” Shamefully, one of the main reasons immigration laws restricted Jewish entries into the U.S. was to promote the racial, i.e. genetic, superiority of the national “stock.”

However, any opposition to Syrian refugees is based on security concerns. So it’s not bigotry to oppose the Obama administration’s current policy.

There were communities in the U.S., even prior to our entry into World War II that were willing and able to resettle the Jewish refugees. It’s not clear the Arab-American or Muslim-American communities have similar abilities as a recent report to Congress revealed that 90-percent of recent Middle East refugees in the U.S. are on food stamps.

Finally, many of the Syrian “refugees” are neither Syrian, nor refugees. Many of those who have joined the “refugee” wave are from other countries in the Middle East, or even further afield. They pose as Syrian because they know they are likelier to be received sympathetically, given the civil war there.

In addition, a majority — are “migrants,” not “refugees” as defined by international law. The “migrants” include those who have found shelter elsewhere, but prefer the West’s opportunities.

Several hundred trees across Northern Nevada snapped under the weight of a wet snow during a recent storm. Now people want to know who is responsible for the clean up, and how long it will take.

This is a perfect example of what is wrong in the U.S. today as there was time that the responsible for the clean up would belong to us and we would act on it.

Neighbor would help neighbor and no one would have even thought to ask how long it would take a local government agency to get the job done. True, limbs caught on power lines and traffic lights would need government services or the electric company; but still a ‘city tree’ falls on your fence, destroying it, and you have to wait before you cut it up and repair your fence?

This goes against the grain of what built this nation. Sadly, the days of ‘rugged individualism,’ and people who would rather do for themselves than ask for it to be done by anyone else, are gone.

It’s been replaced by a lack of personal responsibility brought on by too many rules and regulations.
