Lots of folks are praising Lindsey Graham for his stance about Benghazi.   However, it is prudent to remember he has been a face of manipulated optical opposition before.  I don’t trust Graham, and this could well be just another decepticon angle to keep the patriots away from the gates as they look back yelling “we got this”.   They don’t want you, me, or anyone, looking over the wall or beyond the gate.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on CBS News’ Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer on Sunday where he pledged to try to block the nominations of both Chuck Hagel and John Brennan in an effort to get more information about the 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi out of President Barack Obama.

Graham told Schieffer that he thought it was unfortunate that Obama did not place a personal call to officials in the Libyan government on the evening of September 11, 2012, when an American consulate in Libya was overrun by militants. (more…)

Last month 23-year old twin sisters and two other unrelated women were found shot to death in an apartment complex in Tulsa Oklahoma. Rebeika Powell (left) and Kayetie Melchor were among four women found dead inside an Oklahoma apartment on Jan. 7, 2013 after an apparent daylight shooting in a crime-scarred south Tulsa neighborhood. The 23-year-old twins were discovered along with the bodies of 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson.

Oklahoma – (CBS/AP) TULSA, Okla. – Police in Oklahoma say they have arrested two brothers in the shooting deaths of four women at a Tulsa apartment complex last month. (more…)

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler

This video is making the rounds. It is technically called “So God Made A Liberal”, and is a parody response to the “God Made A farmer” commercial shown during the Super Bowl. However, in my opinion it is more aptly named as the title to this post.

Recent movements to require gun owners to carry “liability insurance” are gaining traction.  As this article from Hot Air outlines, the goal is the same..…

(Hot Air)  What to do if the nation fails to fall in line behind new gun grabbing legislation and doesn’t want to put limits on ammo capacity? How about if they rebel against the idea of taxing the heck out of ammo? What if it just seems like there simply isn’t a majority on board with new gun control legislation? Well, if you follow the Obamacare model, you could always consider making extra insurance on weapons technology mandatory.

If you can’t force people to do what you want, force them to buy insurance: That seems to be the strategy of the liberal left in the Obama era. We refer not only to the ObamaCare health-insurance mandate but to the latest bright idea under consideration in mostly Democrat-dominated state capitals. (more…)

“In God We Trust, In All Others We Question/Research”

(HatTip CajunKelly) Why is there a difference between the bullet hole (count and location) still shot photographs printed in the media, and the video at the scene? Clearly there is a visible difference. Look at the left side tailgate (example). Why would there be MORE bullet holes in the video, than in the printed/published photographs?

Ask yourself this question:  why would they need to use “drones”?    Think.   They are being operated over U.S. airspace.   There is no risk to the aviation asset being attacked, so why wouldn’t traditional search planes with FLIR be used?    Know what the real agenda is here…. the real goal…..  get you comfy (numb) with Drone Surveillance stories.

Also they just issued a $1,000,000 reward.   CALIFORNIA – Police plan to use spy drones in the hunt for a Rambo-style ex-soldier and policeman who has murdered three people and vowed to kill again.

They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California’s snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.

The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.

Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil. (more…)

I keep reading reports “claiming” the police statement around 20 shots fired.  There were way more than 20 shots fired.   In this picture you can see evidence marker #54 which indicates a shell casing location.   These were two *really* luck women.

LOS ANGLES — A mother and daughter newspaper delivery team who were mistakenly shot by Los Angeles police hunting for a fugitive former cop will get a new pickup truck courtesy of the department.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith says the department’s Chief Charlie Beck met with the women in their Torrance home Saturday to apologize and tell them he had arranged for someone to donate a new pickup truck. (more…)

Life back in the day was prioritized and practical.

It was prioritized in that important things were intentionally planned and taken care of.  It was practical in that everything, important or unimportant, was simply handled the best possible way every day, whether unexpected or planned.

In completing one of those personal heritage blank books that is titled along the lines of  Mom, Tell Me About Your Life Growing Up I came across a page that requested that I list home remedies or commonly accepted first aid and health-related truisms. The list:

• If you fall down, get up.
• If you get cut, get stitched if it’s gaping wide open about a half inch.
• If you are bleeding, stop it.
• If a tree falls on you, get x-ray’d.
• If a bee stings you, kill it.
• Don’t walk further than you can walk back.
• When climbing ladders, keep one foot on the ground.
• Don’t climb on the roof if you didn’t have lunch and breakfast.
• Drowning is very bad.  Don’t.
• Don’t play with matches.
• Sewing needles work for getting slivers out.
• The best treatment for a bad headache is ice. (more…)
