EPIC: If this isn't the most American Craigslist ad I have ever seen I don't know what is -:
I should start by saying that if you are looking for a “Pajama party Barbie Jeep” you my friend, should keep looking. If you are looking for a short description of to the beast before you, I can offer you two words “MEAT & POTATOES”. This is the All American chariot of the free world.
You are not dealing with any ordinary, cookie cutter Jeep son. This thing was forged from a single block of all American Tungsten Steel. Real sturdy! From that day forward my life has never been the same. Winch yourself off that couch and see if you can handle this Jeep Wrangler Sahara.
So if you are looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover keep on looking my friend this thing is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery.
This baby’s pulse is pumping 4.0 liters of uncensored raw fuel through her straight six nuclear power plant. And rest assured this is no metro feminine automatic. . .you command her to obey, with your calloused hand planted firmly on the shifter. And she will obey, the first time, every time. If you can’t handle your stick shifter, or reach the clutch pedal, you better not ferry skip over here wanting to test drive her. If you stall her out, you can count on getting hit in the face with a piece of re-bar and sent back where you came from.
It has A/C but are you kidding me….Really! If you want to blow the sweat off your brow, you do it the old fashioned way: doors off, top down. “What if it rains?”. . .You whiney bitch! I told you to stop reading. . . Any man who drives this beast doesn’t give a damn about rain. Not even skin melting acid rain, Cause he’s already dripping wet in blood, sweat, dip spit, and fish guts.
If you are looking for the kind of jeep that has to be pansy parked in the garage, so the “carpet doesn’t get wet and soggy” Then you should plant your Obama sticker on some Japanese piece of s***. Cause this thing has drain holes in the floor and rhino lined to let the blood drain out from the buffalo you just killed, with your bare hands. Because you are William Wallace from Braveheart and when you get home you can leave your “sissy sponge glove car wash kit” in the pink bucket it came in. Go ahead and spark up your 6000 psi heated pressure washer on the dually trailer in your man cave, cause you are Tim Gillespie and you can pressure wash your truck on the inside. She’s got rhino lined floors with a full roll cage in case that buffalo comes back to life while you’re doing 80 over some mountain pass or flooded river.
If you’re thinking about Mexican chrome bumpers for her, think again. The bumper bashers come hand forged in a blacksmith shop in Franklin County over a wood burnin fire, out of 4 inch well casing, and railroad tracks and then I welded em to the damn chassis. That way if you get deployed you can piggy back this war wagon on a deuce and a half and chain her down tight from the four corners, so you don’t lose her when your convoy gets hit by a taliband roadside suicide bomber.
And forget about putting one of those “It’s a Jeep Thing. . .You wouldn’t understand” stickers on this machine cause when you’re spotted in this American Classic there will be no questions, no further explanation required, people will understand and get out of your way. . …real quick.
If you think you’re ready to park this panty hauler on your tract of land. If you buy this jeep you better go get your old lady ready for some damn changes around your lair, cause this s** will be happening. What will be Happening? Glad you asked….

But if you think you’re going to get to whip this mule you better pony up Sixty Five Hundred Dollars. . .American Cash. I’m not selling you this car unless you are clearly a pure blooded American Species, so don’t even think about it.

A pair of New York City lawyers are facing heat for participating in a music video that decries police shootings of young black men and calls for police to be killed in return, Gothamist reported Thursday.
The two lawyers with the taxpayer-funded Bronx Defenders appeared in a December WorldStarHipHop music video and allowed their office to be used in the video as well.

Regulation is Strangling America: It’s Time for Congress to Act | TheBlaze.com:
"Anyone listening to this administration and its regulators would think we’re just a few more regulations away from prosperity.
In fact, as TheBlaze readers well know, this has been the slowest recovery on record since the Great Depression, and we’re still over 5 million jobs short of what the average recovery since 1960 would have given us. America’s growth engine has seized up, and the rust is caused by the Obama administration’s wave of regulation.
It’s time for Congress to apply some deregulatory oil to get the nation moving again."

"An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement testified Friday during a discussion on immigration detention facilities, hosted by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, that transgender individuals are guaranteed “a right to hormone therapy.”
“With respect to treatment while in detention - the medical care standard - the standards guarantees a right to hormone therapy for individuals who need it for treatment, and even in facilities that are not covered by that standard.
Our ICE House Service Corps is very vigilant on that issue to ensuring that individuals receive necessary hormone therapy,” said Kevin Landy, assistant director of the ICE office of detention policy and planning."

"In May 1881 US explorers approached Jeannette Island, Wrangell Island and Henrietta Island in the Arctic Ocean and claimed them for the United States.
But according to the Obama Department of State no claim exists today over these US islands. In fact the State Department is conspiring with Russian President Putin to give away Wrangell Island to Russians.

But nearly five years later, none of the cars has logged a single commuter passenger mile.
There still is no funding and no operator for either proposed commuter service, required environmental studies are not complete, and in the case of the Detroit-Ann Arbor service, even the tracks won't be ready for another two years."

#BlackBrunch Violence – Downtown Saint Paul Minnesota Besieged By Black Mob Violence – Media Hides Story… | The Last Refuge:
"Saint Paul Minnesota is a hotbed of racially driven black mob violence, but the media work diligently to keep it hidden. Recently the frequency of the attacks has increased in severity and now even the local media are forced to discuss it.
However, the media avoid the racial motive inherent in all of the suspects being black and all of the victims are white. The community is shocked, SHOCKED. (make sure you click the links and watch the videos)
SAINT PAUL - A string of group [BLACK] attacks has taken place in downtown St. Paul in recent weeks. Last Monday, a 23-year-old [WHITE] man and his 56-year-old friend were brutally assaulted by six [BLACK] people in a skyway downtown near Cedar Street.
According to police, a restaurant near the new St. Paul Saints stadium was also rushed by a group of about nine [BLACK] people who started eating and drinking from the [WHITE] customers’ tables......"
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS obtained security video that showed a [BLACK] woman in the group suddenly throw a glass of water at another [WHITE] customer. Another [BLACK]man she was with grabbed a cell phone off the table, and then the entire group bolted out the door and down the street, police officials said.
Back in September, a St. Paul police sergeant emailed other officers informing them about a group of nearly 50 [BLACK] juveniles that attacked a [WHITE] juvenile female at the light rail platform near Fifth and Minnesota Street in St. Paul. In the email, the sergeant said the [WHITE] female was beaten unconscious and the fight spilled into a nearby hotel where the [BLACK] group then interrupted and assaulted a [WHITE] wedding party.
Some of the wedding party members told officers they would never visit St. Paul events again because of the incident, the email said.
The sergeant concluded his email by saying that these attacks by the group of assailants were “shocking” at their level of violence. (read more)

"Climate Change: The Facts, featuring 22 essays on the science, politics and economics of the climate change debate.
I will post, occasionally, parts of this excellent book
1. The science and politics of climate change Ian Plimer We derive scientific evidence from measurement, observation, and experiment. Evidence must be repeatable and collected over and over again.
Computers do not generate evidence: they analyse evidence that should have been repeated and validated.
On the basis of the evidence and analysis of evidence, an explanation is given.
This explanation is a scientific theory and must be in accord with other validated evidence from diverse sources (this is known as the coherence criterion in science).
Unlike in law, there is no inadmissible evidence in science. Science is underpinned by practitioners who must be sceptical of the methodology used to collect evidence, the analysis of evidence, and the conclusions based on the evidence.
On the basis of new evidence, scientists must always be prepared to change their opinions.
Science bows to no authority, is not based on a consensus, and is in a constant state of flux.
No great advance in science has been made by consensus: advances have been made by individuals paddling upstream .
If a scientific theory is not in accord with validated evidence, then the theory must be abandoned and reconstructed . It is scepticism that underpins science, not the comfort of consensus.
The theory of human-induced global warming is not science because research is based on a pre-ordained conclusion, huge bodies of evidence are ignored, and the analytical procedures are treated as evidence.
Furthermore, climate ‘science’ is sustained by government research grants.
Funds are not available to investigate theories that are not in accord with government ideology.
Many Western governments have a politically popular ideology that argues that:
i. There is an increase in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) by human activities;
ii. The increased CO2, a greenhouse gas, will lead to ever increasing global warming;
iii. There will be tipping points, sea level rises, extinctions and ocean acidification;
iv. Climate change will be irreversible and that human emissions of CO2 must be reduced or stopped as soon as possible; and
v. In order to stop climate change, energy sources need to be shifted from coal, gas and oil to wind, solar, tidal and biomass.
i. There is an increase in emissions of carbon dioxide by human activities
Point (i) is correct.
These emissions derive mainly from the developing world and the understandable desire of its people to reach the same standard of living as the Western middle class .
It was coal in the Industrial Revolution that originally led to the rise of the middle class in the West.
Now the new industrial revolution in China, India and East Asia is causing the largest migration of humans that has ever occurred, the rise of the middle class in these nations, and the use of steel and electricity, both of which derive from coal.
The very slight increase in atmospheric CO2 has led to a slight greening of the planet .
As all farmers know, CO2 is plant food and the emission of increasingly large amounts of CO2 by humans is good for life on Earth.
ii. The increased carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, will lead to ever increasing global warming Point (ii) has shown to be invalid on all time scales.

It's past time to stand up. If they want to call us Islamophobes, let them. Let them know we will do everything to prevent outside forces from imposing their oppressive, abusive and enslaving way of life from taking over our country. We must send them a message even if the executive bows to them.
WE ARE AMERICANS! LET'S ACT LIKE IT! WE WILL NOT COMPLY AND WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW THEM AND THEIR BACKWARDS WAYS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
Are we going to let name calling intimidate us?
“Charming, really. Who wouldn’t want that? CAIR identified 16 states as having introduced legislation to ban or restrict Shariah law in 2013. The list is supposed to be meant as a condemnation of these states. However, I know plenty of people who would use such a list as a guide for where to move.

Public housing officials won't verify whether residents are the truly needy
Public housing officials won't verify whether residents are the truly needy | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Washington doesn't know if people living in public housing are needy because local authorities who are supposed to verify income and stop fraud often aren't interested making sure taxpayer money is spent properly.
Under pressure from lobbyists, HUD loosened regulations that had forced local authorities to collect evidence of income.
Department officials also moved to let local authorities treat more federal cash as “fees” aimed at making a “profit” so that housing bureaucrats could be paid more, according to an investigation by HUD's inspector general.
The policy of not bothering to make sure public housing is reserved for the poor began when President Obama appointed Sandra Henriquez as the HUD assistant secretary in charge of housing projects."

Obama's Government Takeover of WiFi
Obama's Government Takeover of WiFi | RedState
...It’s a great system.
But the Obama administration, with its regulate-rather-than-investigate approach, thinks this mutually beneficial and well-functioning system needs to be fixed. Here is where to story gets even wonkier, but stay with me – this is important.
...It’s a great system.
The standards arm of an organization called the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, or IEEE, sets technical standards for Wi-Fi and other technologies. And like other standard-setting organizations, it makes a deal with invention companies: If their patented technologies are so strong that a vast majority of the other companies want to include it in the standard, they must agree to let all willing licensees use the patented technology under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms.
For decades, this arrangement has incentivized and protected innovation while letting any newcomers to the industry access the same standard technologies the big incumbent product makers use. But in 2013, a small group of large companies set out to fundamentally upend this arrangement and the Obama Administration is apparently willing to help. Specifically, the Department of Justice and a few companies with uncomfortably close ties to the White House are pressuring the IEEE to change its current patent policy to shift power away from innovators–imposing price caps and weakening patent enforcement rights of all innovators who contribute to IEEE standards.
While it has not made headlines, many American members of the IEEE expressed concern about these policy changes. And what upsets them isn’t just the dangers of the rule changes but the fact that the whole process was done secretly, without any explanation for why the rules were being changed. All the IEEE members know is that the proponents of the policy changes are companies that stand to profit the most from lower patent values and lower royalty fees.
So, the question is, why the DOJ would involve itself in a technical organization’s internal rule making process. Did I mention the DOJ isn’t saying anything public about this either?
One of the scariest consequences of this whole conspiracy is the message it sends to our international trading partners. It will be increasingly difficult to negotiate strong intellectual property rights in our trade agreements when our government endorses policies that resemble China’s Big Brother treatment of foreign intellectual property. The changes being proposed through the IEEE are very similar to China’s anti-monopoly laws, which are being used to lock out foreign competitors. And as law professor Richard Epstein has pointed out, American officials must be careful to ensure their actions do not “lend cover or support to China’s misuse of its own antitrust law.” The current approach unfortunately does just that.
ICE Officials Have ‘Special Housing Unit’ for Homosexual and Transgender Illegal Immigrant Detainees
ICE Officials Have ‘Special Housing Unit’ for Homosexual and Transgender Illegal Immigrant Detainees:
"However, what may be the most-outrageous is that our government is not only encouraging the continued stream of illegal immigrants, but are spending tax dollars not on deporting them back to where they came from, but making sure to house homosexual and transsexual immigrants in “special housing units” while detained."
