While the MSNBC Nancy Boys conclude the killing of a British soldier is just a “murder,” the Imam who helped radicalize one of the killers says ‘he understands’ why he did it. In fact, not only does he understand, he just can’t bring himself to repudiate it. Amazing. Watch this interview and if your jaw isn’t dropping by the end, you just refuse to see what you see.

Here’s a pic from King 5 News in Seattle. No word on injuries. From King 5 News, “witnesses reported seeing a semitruck with an oversized load crossing the bridge and striking a girder before the bridge collapsed.” That bridge was on the WSDOT list of deficient bridges (here) H/T Roman Robinson. Also apologies. I previously mismarked the wrong bridge. I’ve correctly identified it on the list now.

It’s not bad enough that the Oregon Bus Project has been laughably installed in the Portland Public Schools as part of the “Politicorps” to teach students about politics–really, I’m not kidding (“BFF’s for Democrats, I mean Democracy”). It’s not bad enough that our students are being used to do door knocking on behalf of far left candidates and given school credit via the Bus Project, but now far left lawmaker and self described community organizer, Ben Unger is trying to make it easier for his ilk to convince your child to

            Watch House Governmental Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa reveal to Sean Hannity that Lois Lerner will be asked back to answer questions because she basically waived her fifth amendment privilege by giving a statement that was testimony. Make sure you catch Issa’s comment about former IRS Chief Doug Shulman who has a case of “Obamnesia” saying, “If I had a nickel for every time he couldn’t remember I could pay off the national debt.”

New Jersey state officials recently completed a sting operation against 29 bars and restaurants uncovering their alleged substitution of cheap liquor for premium brands while continuing to charge premium prices.  From the Asbury Park Press: “Officials say the establishments allegedly filled premium brand bottles with non- premium brands in an effort to fool customers and increase their profits. The customer paid for the premium brand, but was instead, unbeknownst to the customer, poured the non-premium brand.” Can’t a guy get an honest drink in this town? Getting screwed by watered

Best sign ever. A band of folks answered the call to come take stand and be counted at the Rein in the IRS Rally Tuesday in Portland. We stood in the rain and protested the IRS’s targeting the political views of taxpayers and organizations. The story is well known. In anticipation of this event–which was called mere hours before (because that’s when I found out about it), the IRS hired a rentacop to quell the madding crowds.

Live stream HERE of #IRSHearing w/IRS chieftess Lois Lerner. Watch as she takes the 5th amendment over and over and over and over.  No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life

H/T Andy from Beaverton Who is Cindy Thomas? She might be the key to the IRS scandal in the Obama Administration. As this Ohio TV station reports, she’s the one between the six agents whose names appeared on the howlers sent to Tea Party groups and the big shots being grilled on Capitol Hill.   

Oregon Senator Merkley and Senators Schumer, Franken, Bennet, Udall, Shaheen and Whitehouse told the IRS to give extra scrutiny to 501c4 organizations to find wrong doing. They’d never done this before regarding liberal 501c4 groups, but cite Citizens United as the reason—because it freed many CONSERVATIVES to participate in moveon like organizations. They didn’t want the competition which explains why all of the signatories to this letter are hyper partisan Democrats. Although the letter was written in February of this year while the targeting of Tea Party groups were underway,

Thanks to a twitter follower, I found out about a nationwide effort to rally folks to rally in front of the IRS Tuesday. Because nobody else was organizing anything in concert with this effort and since I’ve wanted to do SOMEthing in response to this IRS abuse, I thought I’d go ahead and organize it.  Your time is important so this will be short and, I hope, impactful. Please come at 12:15-12:45 and bring your sign and a smile.  Please go to the Facebook page to RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/114824638688026/ NATIONWIDE TEA PARTY.

Who knew when they paid the money to get into the Billboard MusicAwards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last night that they’d get a lap dance as a spiff? I actually gasped after rapper Nicki Minaj gave rapper Lil Wayne a lap dance on stage as the final, er, act of the Billboard Music Awards.  I’m not a prude and I actually got to like Minaj through her short lived “reality” show. But this? This was absolutely disgusting–most especially when she put her hand through her legs and
