Seems like a job for the Bundy boys.
How the hell do these people
even get out of bed in the morning.
The Islamic State terror group is operating a camp in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, just eight miles from the U.S. border, Judicial Watch reported Tuesday.
Citing sources that include a “Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector,” the conservative watchdog group reported that the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, is organizing only a few miles from El Paso, Texas, in the Anapra neighborhood of Juárez and in Puerto Palomas.
That is from the Washington Times. According to the Washington Times and "Judicial Watch", there is an ISIS camp on the U.S.-Mexican border eight miles from El Paso, Texas. And the Mexican authorities know it. And 'Merica knows it. Oh, and they've got terrorist spies who have already infiltrated BLM lands in New Mexico (because BLM-managed lands are inherently the most suspicious), and Mexican drug cartels are smuggling the ISIS terrorists across the border (because the Mexican drug cartels are all about things that would be likely to result in a complete militarization of the border through which they ship their only products), and everyone now knows this but we're not doing anything about it because reasons. (An accompanying Washington Times photo gallery touts the
21 Best Handguns for Home Protection—a coincidence, no doubt, and not a suggestion.)
Oh, and then Sean Hannity picks up this "very dangerous story" because of course he does.
Imagine this is the world you live in—a world in which ISIS is infiltrating El Paso and you, a conservative website and the Washington Times are the only ones who know. How do these people manage to leave their house? Is it any wonder they cannot stand the thought of being in a Chipotle or a Walmart without arming themselves to the teeth, lest ISIS be lurking in the snack foods aisle? That they have their own little army of heavily armed loons ready to fight the U.S. government given the slightest perceived provocation?
These are people who should never be allowed to brew strong coffee, much less own guns. Christ, it's a wonder any of them still have toes left.
Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2011—Rick Santorum, his pro-union campaign slogan, and a slippery start:
Former Senator Rick Santorum's nascent presidential bid got off to a slippery start—no word if a frothy mix was involved—after it was noted by Think Progress that:
... former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced that he will begin fundraising for a presidential run using the campaign slogan “Fighting to make America America again.” This eloquent turn of phrase, however, was not invented by Santorum. It is borrowed from the title of a pro-union, pro-racial justice, and pro-immigrant poem written by Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes — “Let America Be America Again.” |
And at his first unofficial, official campaign stop later that day, Santorum was asked about it:
"No I had nothing to do with that," Santorum said. "I didn't know that. And the folks who worked on that slogan for me didn't inform me that it came from that, if it in fact came from that."
... When asked a short time later what the campaign slogan meant to him, Santorum said, "well, I'm not too sure that's my campaign slogan, I think it's on a web site."
It was also printed on the campaign literature handed out before the speech.
|
In other words, he elected to play dumb. Which is the only thing Santorum has a shot at being elected to.

Feel like the media is letting me down because I have no fucking idea what Hillary Clinton had for lunch today.

today's Kagro in the Morning show: BREAKING: A rich fellow haz a public sad that "business" is no longer fun. No one could have predicted this, but white parents in NC are using charter schools to re-segregate. Did someone you know once work hard? Well, then, you should be rich!
Joan McCarter brings us up to speed on the House's Tax Day shenanigans, the completion of the "doc fix" bill, the Senate's confirmation of a long-delayed judicial nomination, and developments on the Iran deal front. She also debunks a persistent Internet rumor about Idaho Gov. Butch Otter. But unfortunately, rumors of Sharia panic in the state's legislature aren't equally unfounded.
