13 School Punishes Meat-Eating Thought Criminal

Do you think that "vegetarians are idiots"? If so, you'd better shut up about it, or else you'll get punished for it. This is what is happening to a sixth grader who uttered those words to another student.

16 Attorney General on the Orlando shooter's "motivations"

"We know that he apparently had some concerns or issues with the LGBT community," she said. "It was also Latin night at the club. So again, we're very concerned about the motivations that led him to that particular club at that particular place."

Why yes of course he never once mention anything about gay or Hispanics but you go right ahead and try to connect those dots dipshit. Please do ignore the fact that he said he was doing it for ISIS. After all the agenda if far more important than the facts or people's lives.

Living in the suburbs of Chicago, I am so damn glad they didn't get it. I cannot imagine the whining about who should have gotten the building jobs, the closing of some of the expressways , the pomp and circumstance when the JEF came to town to light the torch and have his posterior smooched by the masses.

But on the plus side, as heartless as it sounds, the killing of Olympic tourists by the gangbangers with illegal guns would have made international news. Then it would be very hard though they'd try, to bury the strict gun control laws as compared with the ease of killing such tourists with illegal guns.

Forty years back, the hybrid Coho was going to be the great Lakes sport fish. You seldom hear them mentioned now; it's all about the Whole-Ah. They were working on a cross between coho, walleye and muskies. It was called a Co-Wal-Ski.

35 The alternative to Obama's creative idea to transform the US Military into a mercanary force would be to hire contractors for the technical jobs (cyber this and cyber that and logistics too), and professional civilian administrators, perhaps federal government administrators to replace Admirals and Generals.

Can you imagine the Normandy D-Day landings as adiminstered by a professional bureacrat instead of Eisenhauer?

37 I'm hoping that people continue to freak out over the Zika virus/civil disruptions in Rio. If enough people refuse to go, there is a one-in-a-hundred or so chance that I'd be able to go as a fill-in streaming broadcaster for one of the minor sports. We've covered wrestling and archery in Olympic qualifying, so those are my best bets. It's a very long shot, but it's a shot.

Barry wants to turn the military into a college campus with all of the PC crap that goes along with it. Eventually running down the military like this is going to lead to severe consequences. What really gets me are the bootlickers who go along with him.

There were a lot of civilian officers in WWII. Generals, even. And we won anyway. Talk to any veteran of that era, and they're still telling jokes about them.

I know a lee...dle bit about military cyber staffing. About 2/3 of the insider cyber industry/"community" is trained by the military. Wonder Valley gui-whizzes are not cyber. What the Pentagram is after is more colonels to hook up their bigscreens, and, of course, make coffee. Unending, bottomless need for that.

61 Yeah, the Olympic Committee, like F1 and FIFA, are just having you on now, seeing how much you'll take. It was kind of nice of the Russians to let that doping scandal blow, to give them a good excuse to cancel, which is inevitable.

What they need is Mitt Romney. He saved the Olympics, you know.

If you can find an insider source, follow the politics of the shooting sports at the Olympic level. The Euro powers have pretty much decided that gunpowder is going to be illegal, so it's all about airguns, and, ISYN, laser pointers. Coming soon.

As any rail-gunner can tell you, there's not a lot of ballistics and trigonometry to the aiming of a laser pointer. Doping the wind? Soon to be a lost art.

63 The "Long March Through the Institutions" was a smashing success. Decades of Communist anti-American indoctrination in the news media, education system, and entertainment industry has molded a self-loathing American population that no longer wants to exist.

Exactly.
He wanted to kill a lot of American infidels. He wanted to hit a soft target - when kids/families was no longer possible, he figured gays was the next best thing. Well, gays in a gun-free zone, which makes any target an easier prey.

I'm surprised Lynch hasn't gotten down to analyzing his clothes and haircut - maybe there's an indication of his motives there.Think, think, think, what could have motivated him?

In many ways she's worse than holder ever was as she has an extra layer of protection than holder had.

I can actually see GOP pussy boys peeing their pants as at the mere mention of her name.

And the fact that they are allowing her and the DOJ carte blanche to rewrite the investigative narrative is nauseating.

110 Not a single thought against Kim Rhode (pah. Shotgunner.) But the American woman who changed Olympic shooting was Margaret Murdock. In 1964, when almost all rifle teams were all military, it became evident that Murdock could have them all any time, and the Euros were quick to create a special separate class for all woman competitors, so American girls wouldn't embarrass their militaries.

I got this scandalous gossip from Mary Kay (Mrs Lones) Wigger. Who'd know.

Wonderful picture of Lanny Bassham and Murdock, years later, when Lanny won by an X, and reached over and pulled her up to the top of the podium with him.

Quite serious.

*and here is where the story gets boring

My cousin had two of them - one older wild one named Zack and a year old cub named Zephyr. He lived in Florida (probably not legal but he had them) and he brought Zephyr up to Pittsburgh during a visit. So basically he was the size of a german shepherd at the time - playful but you still had to cover your neck since even if he was playing things could get ugly.

This was the mid 80's before everything was digitally recorded with 25 smart phones at a time. I had a VHS tape of me playing with him but that is long gone.

That sounds too reasonable for him. I think something like this captures the flavor:

"Are you saying that we shouldn't commit to fixing the problem? Are you okay with illegal immigration? Because if you are, shouldn't you favor allowing all people into the US all the time?"

It made me think what would happen to this country, how it would probably instantaneously implode - if we treated muzzie terrorist pieces of shit the way we do... oh... regular citizens, for example.

Whenever anyone other than a muzzie, commits a terrorist act in this country, the very first thing we hear is, "only a tiny minority..." or "must be careful not to indict the entire muzzie community," or "majority of muzzies are peaceful."

If a non-muzzie commits a murder, "What is wrong with the white race?" "When are we ever going to come to grips with the fact that western culture has failed the world?"

The rest of the Idaho rape story is infuriating. The police sealed the records so there can be no follow-up on the story. Also this:

A video of a Twin Falls council
meeting shows irate residents demanding to know why council members have
done nothing to address the alleged rape, as well as numerous other
issues involving Syrian refugees being housed in the area, including hit
and run incidents and Muslims spitting on non-Muslims.Around 50 Syrian refugees are reportedly housed at the Fawnbrook site.Council
members were also grilled as to how a mosque was approved after just 24
hours, whereas a new home application would take at least 2 weeks just
to process.In every instance, the
council members claim ignorance as to the severity of the situation,
with one even suggesting that residents' concerns are based on
anti-Muslim prejudice and even white supremacism.

Apparently the key is to release as much carbon as humanly possible while claiming it is to create awareness of global warming, or to actually combat it.

You get to do whatever you like actually make things worse, and get rave reviews for doing it.

Like Bill Clinton's war on misogyny and workplace sexual abuse, and Obama's war on Terror, and Johnson's war on poverty, Chicago gun control, Obamacare war on high health care costs...

Come to think of it, everything the democrats do is like that.

WHY are we bring these monsters into our country?!?!?!

Because your rulers want it so.

And because they have the organization and weaponry to kill you should you decide to fight back.

A President Trump would do this country an enormous service if, immediately after taking the oath of office, skipped an inaugural address in favor of arresting and jailing, that very day, every member of Congress for treason.

Hi Fellow Morons,

naturalfake here.

Part one of my new big comic novel,

"Wearing the Cat" was just published on amazon.

titled, appropriately enough,

"Wearing the Cat" - Part One: Flaming Hoops"

It's in the kindle book section. (I'd link it but Pixy keeps rejecting my various attempts at linking. My Pixyware Fu is weak.)

For the next two weeks, WTC is available for the low low, moron-friendly, introductory price of

$0.99.

If you like WTC, please leave a positive review on amazon.

If you're a fan of "Catch-22", "The Magic Christian", or "A Confederacy of Dunces", you might just like it.

Check it out.

I do believe that the only reason my cat lets me feed him is that he wants to get big enough to eat me.

The official story for years was that there are no mountain lions east of the Mississipi. I know for a fact that there were two in St. John, Canada, in about 1970 because I saw them.

Now there's a site about CT mountain lions which unfortunately looks like an alien conspiracy site. An actual no shit puma got run over in Greenwich and "they" said oh we did DNA tests and that one is from Idaho and not here and just got lost and wandered.

I have less faith in DNA than the O.J. Simpson jury when it comes to this story.

Also, I've seen actual trail-cam pics of lions from Pennsylvania.

They are here, people. They are watching you.

196 Went to see Frankie Valli on Saturday. Aside from the fact that he was spectacular, especially given his age, he surprisingly veered off into politics for several minutes. At first, I thought uh-oh...but it went something like this:

He's not a Republican, Democrat or Independent. Says he's tried them all. He said it seems we've got a couple candidates nobody is really thrilled with. He asked the audience who supported Sanders (smattering of applause), Clinton (smattering of applause) and Trump (thunderous applause). He said it seems like the people are really sick of career politicians. Ones who promise everything and deliver nothing.

He went on to say that we're near $20trillion in debt and it's just crazy that we're bringing in unvetted refugees from terrorist countries. He's all for anyone coming here, the right way.

He said we live in the greatest country in the world, and it seems sometimes that fact is forgotten. We need to be vigilant in keeping it the freest country as well. All of this was a backdrop, or introduction to a song he sung called "Harmony." We should stop being so vicious to each other over differences of opinion. Most touching to me was when he actually started singing the song, there was a great big backdrop behind him showing snippets of "life in America." Lots of military pictures, Blue Angels, kids waving flags, pictures of JFK, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Bill Clinton while in office. It was very obvious Frankie Valli isn't a screaming, lunatic America-hating lefty. I was really touched by his little speech about our great country, and how we have to unite, be strong and proud.

If you ever get a chance to go see him, go. He is amazing.

It very kindly chose to lay down on some fence posts so we know it was about 5 feet from long from nose to tail. I called Wildlife dept (whatever the official name is) they tried to tell me it had been a bear. My first experience with a government person actively *hoping* I was stupid.

A couple days later a lady in my parent's neighborhood, which is in town, was stalked while walking her cat-snack. Probably the same cat.

I'm sure some scientist will come along to tell me I'm full of shit because science but I think the cats are coming back for the same reason sharks are coming back, food. There have been big restrictions put on fishermen for years along the eastern seaboard limiting the amount of catches for various species in hope of bringing them back to healthy stock sizes.

Small fish get eating by big fish and by seals which get eaten by sharks. Well the fish are coming back, the seals in a huge way and so are the sharks. It's not AGW, it's a shitload of bait in the water.

Same with the cats. They aren't coming back to the northeast to look at the fall foliage, they are coming for food. And the deer population in the northeast has come roaring back to some of the highest levels ever.

Deer carcasses are strewn all over our local highways. And there are small herds that roam through my neighborhood occasionally.

It's disgusting that so many deer are killed by cars, but the hunting season is so restrictive it is essentially impossible.

What a waste.

232 " They aren't coming back to the northeast to look at the fall foliage, they are coming for food. And the deer population in the northeast has come roaring back to some of the highest levels ever."

Which is why we have coyotes in Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx, and more throughout NYC's northern suburbs.

because science but I think the cats are coming back for the same reason
sharks are coming back, food. There have been big restrictions put on
fishermen for years along the eastern seaboard limiting the amount of
catches for various species in hope of bringing them back to healthy
stock sizes.

Small fish get eating by big fish and by seals which get eaten by
sharks. Well the fish are coming back, the seals in a huge way and so
are the sharks. It's not AGW, it's a shitload of bait in the water.

Same with the cats. They aren't coming back to the northeast to look
at the fall foliage, they are coming for food. And the deer population
in the northeast has come roaring back to some of the highest levels

.I agree. More food equals more predators. Pretty simple actually.

The Whitetail deer population in Connecticut is the largest ever recorded and some say there are more deer in the State now than there was back before Europeans showed up.

Yes and no.

The fish stocks, most NE fish stocks, are in absolute decline.

The sharks are here because of the seals. The seals, well for fuck's sake the seals were cute 20 years ago. Oh look, there's a seal. Oh, let's paddle all the way down Monomoy because there's a small seal colony.

Now the seals are just a complete pain in the ass. They've figured out that we're not allowed to club them.

So we have Great Whites. We also need Orcas. And Eskimos. And Canadians. These seals are a freaking plague and have ruined surf fishing.

Yes he is. They used to live in a cabin with no water/electricity. Stayed overnight one time. As a kid it was fun.
