It is no longer open season on those disgusting creatures that are the scourge of life in the Big Apple, to name one present-day urban center. No, the reference is not to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his crew. It is to cockroaches.
In a grim irony, one of those injured in the New Orleans Mother’s Day shooting had lamented the violence committed by, in her words, “the men of my tribe.”
Deborah Cotton is a “multimedia journalist and cultural advocate” who was one of 19 injured when a gunman opened fire on attendees at a Mother’s Day parade.
With apologies to Winston Churchill, it might be said of Sen. Barbara Boxer that “those that fail to learn from history are doomed to rewrite it.” During a Senate floor speech Tuesday, The Daily Caller writes, the Democratic senator from California blamed the tornado that ravaged Oklahoma on global warming.
Although she is not naming names (cough — OBAMA!) Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson claims her personal and work computers have been compromised and are under investigation.
Attkisson told Politico’s Dylan Byers:
If there is anything positive that can be said about a workshop held at the University of Central Florida last month it is that you cannot contract gonorrhea by touching sex organs made out of Play-doh.
Campus Reform reports that the workshop was conducted by a “sex expert” (sexpert?) from a local adult toy store called Fairvilla. It is not clear what educational value is to be derived from learning to carve genitals out of modeling clay, but the event, titled “Finals? That blows,” also included a condom hunt.
German theologian Martin Niemöller is enjoying a mini-renaissance. In the last 24 hours, his famous exhortation to rise up against tyranny before it’s too late (“When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out”) has appeared in two columns. Yesterday, the verse from which the line came was rehearsed in its entirety by James Taranto. Today, it is the lead-in to a report by The Daily Beast’s Kirtsen Powers on the revelation that the Obama Justice Department “spied” on Fox News Channel’s chief Washington correspondent James Rosen.
Keeping alive the long history between National Socialism and Jihaddist Islam, the twisted cross of Nazism is flying high and proud over a heavily Arab-Muslim town south of Jerusalem today.
In the West Bank town of Beit Omar, an over-sized red, white, and black swastika-emblazoned flag of the Third Reich was reportedly clearly visible to Israeli residents living in the southern outskirts and suburbs of Jerusalem, especially the Jewish town of Gush Etzion.
America is getting frustrated with this administration’s fight to keep the truth behind its three current scandals under wraps. As frustrated as the public may be, Congress, who is in charge of finding out the truth is even more frustrated. Yesterday’s performance by White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer, who appeared on all five Sunday News programs, was at best ridiculous. It seemed as if he answered each and every question with “that’s irrelevant.”
Yesterday, during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer defended President Obama’s statement that he knew nothing about the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups until he learned about it through the media. “No president would get involved in an independent IRS investigation,” Pfeiffer said. “It would be wholly inappropriate.”
“If I had the wings of an angel…”
Thanks to sequestration, there is not enough money in the government coffers to keep “the people’s house” (aka the White House) open for tours. You’ll be pleased to know, however, that there’s plenty of money — $75,000 worth — for prison poetry.
According to CNSNews.com, a new website that features readings of poems written by current inmates was launched this week with the help of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
