News and Interesting Stuff for September 13, 2018


17th Anniversary of the Muzzie Terrorist Attack on America
As the article points out, it wasn’t a “tragedy,” it was an act of war. An act of war by an enemy everyone knows but the Left and its lapdog media refuse to admit.And in watching all the tributes, I could not help but notice the only person who used the words, “Extremist Islam” was President Trump. A lot of others may not get it but he certainly does.
It’s been 17 years since almost 3000 people were murdered by muslims on our soil, but in case you’ve forgotten, we are still at war with subhuman cutthroats who want to turn the West into a subservient Caliphate.
Islamic shitbags have increased their body count by the thousands. Their bloody attacks across Europe have skyrocketed thanks to their suicidal open borders/’refugee’ policies.
Then there’s the daily carnage throughout the rest of the world in the name of their ‘allah’.
Now that President Trump is in office, there’s been a drastic change in the way we handle the Islamic threat. He’s reversing the damage that Barky did to national security . He’s unleashed the military and let them finish the mission to eradicate Obama’s “JV Team”. He’s banned travel into the country from Islamofascist nation-states, stopped Obama’s disastrous Iranian nuke deal and cut off aid to the PLO terrorists.
He needs to understand that there is no such thing as Arab ‘allies’ and playing patty-cake with the pigs will not make us safer or stop the jihad.
Could not have been said better.
No, Trump is Not Going Away
MAXINE Waters make a complete ass of herself. Media outlets spout endless threats of impeachment. It’s a cacophony of insanity.
I’ve said this before, as have others, including the author of the article: “The startling fact is that a so-called buffoonish real-estate developer hit upon a calculus to restore robust economic growth in a way that all the degreed experts of the prior (Obama) administration had not.”


When We Say ‘Combat Veteran,’ What Do We Really Mean?
A damned good question. Lately, we’ve had a bunch of political hacks claim they’re combat vets when they never got outside a secure compound. Yeah, I’m a ‘Nam Vet but sure as hell am not a combat vet. Doesn’t mean I didn’t get shot at, just that I did not slog through the slime chasing Charley or Regulars.
Oh yeah. They love to cite their Bronze and Silver Stars – earned for “meritorious service.” That means their bosses wanted to look good by having underlings who “excelled.” At what? Bartending?
The term ‘combat veteran’ has led to some heated vet-on-vet action, as recent political candidates have attacked each other’s service in the Global War on Terror in ways that are at best confusing to the outside public and at worst damaging to the civil-military divide overall.


Total Domination: 750 People Show Up for Obama’s Rally; 10,000 Show Up at Trump’s
I’ve already posted this but it’s nice to repeat for those to dense to pay attention.
A crowd of 750 is simply a dismal number. The arena at the convention center has a capacity of 7,500 people, which means that 90 percent of seats sat empty as the previous president tried desperately to draw a crowd.
At 57, Obama looks old and weary. At 79, President Trump appears alert and animated.


The Rib-Tickling Babylon Bee Takes on Obama
News with snicker value. Somewhat like The Onion but on the gentler side.
Man Who Intentionally Divided Nation For Eight Years Calls For Unity.”
Let’s not hate each other, at least not until a Democrat is in office again.”
Trump is really mean, let’s all focus on that,” Obama is quoted as saying in the piece.
Calling Americans “racist,” telling Latino voters to “punish their enemies,” and using the White House Easter prayer to attack Christians were among some examples cited of his divisiveness.
So maybe the Babylon Bee piece is closer to fact than satire.


Crime Wave Britain: Six Police Officers Stabbed, Rammed, Run over in 72 Hours
What the hell are the Brits – and other nations – doing to themselves?
And nowhere in this does the word Muslim appear. Just “immigrants.”
UK: After declaring Muslim’s stabbing spree not terrorism, cops ask people to report offensive online comments @ https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/09/uk-after-declaring-muslimas-stabbing-spree-not-terrorism-cops-ask-people-to-report-offensive-comments-online
So, just what are “offensive comments?” We already know police will lock you up for saying anything against Islam.


What Is Net Neutrality?
I’ve been railing against this for years. As the article states: “It’s all a scam.” An effort to get government control over the internet.
Thankfully President Trump, fulfilling a campaign promise, dumped it.
Make the Internet Great Again.


'Using tools made me feel like a superwoman’
A huge demand for workers and most new applicants need not have training.
Construction workers in the US are in demand and earn high salaries, yet women make up less than 10% of the industry in the country.
One woman in New York is setting out to change that by training girls as young as six to work with tools.


Where to go in England to Catch the Clap
Doesn’t that just make you smile? And the worst place is London.
Uh, who’s their mayor and what is the growing minority from places where STIs are quite common?


Older Folks Doing Tai Chi Less Likely to Fall
Makes a lot of sense. Learn deep breathing and balance should keep us upright – at least as long as we stay sober.
There has been some evidence in past research that shows tai chi can help reduce falls.
A 2012 study from the Oregon Research Institute found that tai chi was the best exercise in treating balance issues in adults with Parkinson's disease.
And a 2012 review of 159 trials found that the martial art was the most successful exercise in reducing the risk of falling.
Additionally, a 2014 review also found that tai chi reduced the fear of falling in adults living in retirement communities.


Most [UK] Kids Prefer Texting to Face-to-Face
They can be sitting next to each other and won’t get out of their devices.
It’s no secret that teenagers today are glued to their devices.
But according to a new study, most now even say they’d rather talk to their friends online than see them in person.
A survey conducted this year of more than 1,000 kids aged 13 to 17 found that texting outpaces face-to-face communication, in a dramatic shift from responses just a few years ago.
And it appears adults may not be much different.


Fine Arts Majors Have A Higher Unemployment Rate Than High School Dropouts
This really isn’t news.
What is astonishing is that if that number is indeed correct, college grads with a fine arts degree are far worse off than the average high school dropout in the labor market. Even the lucky ones who do have a job are worse off. The rest are not only unemployed, but probably drowning in student-loan debt.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for people with less than a high school diploma is 5.7% - significantly better than those with art school degrees - as America's employers increasingly turn to the cheapest unemployed resources and train them on the spot.


Small Business Confidence Smashes Prior High Set Under Reagan
The Lame Street Media hates this. It’s the last thing they want you to know.
"Today’s groundbreaking numbers are demonstrative of what I’m hearing everyday from small business owners – that business is booming. As the tax and regulatory landscape changed, so did small business expectations and plans,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita D. Duggan. “We’re now seeing the tangible results of those plans as small businesses report historically high, some record breaking, levels of increased sales, investment, earnings, and hiring." said Juanita Duggans, the CEO of the NFIB.
"There is no question that the change of policy in Washington has everything to do with the increase in the optimism index."
A net 10% of all owners reported higher nominal sales in the past three months compared with the prior three months, an increase of two points. Meawhile, August was the ninth consecutive month of reported sales gains after years of low or negative numbers. The net percentage of business owners planning to build inventories rose six points to a record net 10%, marking the 14th positive reading in the past 22 months.


Washington Post blames Trump for causing hurricane Florence
I shake my head in disbelief. Just how far out of wack the Leftists have become. Are they kidding us? Here’s their commentary:
Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicitWhen it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earth’s systems to produce disasters…… With depressingly ironic timing, the Trump administration announced Tuesday a plan to roll back federal rules on methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is the main component in natural gas. Drillers and transporters of the fuel were supposed to be more careful about letting it waft into the atmosphere, which is nothing more than rank resource waste that also harms the environment. The Trump administration has now attacked all three pillars of President Barack Obama’s climate-change plan. The president has cemented the GOP’s legacy as one of reaction and reality denial. Sadly, few in his party appear to care.


The Navy Vessel Built From Steel From The Wreckage Of The World Trade Center

Well, not the whole thing but the bow that cuts through the waves. There’s a video 11+ minutes long about making it @ https://taskandpurpose.com/uss-new-york-world-trade-center/


Middle-Class Income Hits All-Time High, Poverty Rate Falls
And Obama claims he’s responsible for all of it!
Right.
The numbers, along with low unemployment figures, are part of the reason Trump has emphasized that the American economy is back.

The Economy is soooo good, perhaps the best in our country’s history (remember, it’s the economy stupid!), that the Democrats are flailing & lying like CRAZY! Phony books, articles and T.V. ‘hits’ like no other pol has had to endure-and they are losing big. Very dishonest people!” Trump tweeted Monday.


McConnell's Fall Senate Plans Seem to Involve More Trump-Appointed Judges and Fewer Democratic Senators
I don’t always have a great deal of faith in him, but if he can pull this off he deserves his place as Senate Majority Leader.
In his latest savage move, according to Politico, the senator plans to keep the Senate in session through October to allow for approval to fill more judicial vacancies, greatly reducing the campaign time available for senators running for re-election. Many of those senators are Democrats.
In spite of all the dire media predictions, it’s more than likely that GOP candidates will gain seats in the Senate. And the same holds true with the House. One cannot ignore pocketbook situations.


Why Confront Islam?
In spite of what the Left claims, ignoring Islam only opens the door wide for Muslims to expand their influence in America.
Because if we don’t, it will continue to get more extreme. This is not Islamophobia, as many Muslims and their leftist apologists claim. A phobia is a baseless irrational fear. Abomination of Islam is based on irrefutable facts and it is not only rational, it is ethically imperative. Until the Western world understands the threat of Islamic ideology to their society and culture, people will continue to die. We simply cannot ignore this assault to our way of life.
A telling essay on what America is confronted by the presence of Islam.

This video isn’t exactly what Washington insiders want to hear.

The USA Just Became The World’s Largest Oil Producer
Another plus for President Trump that the media won’t give him credit for.
U.S. crude oil production exceeded that of Saudi Arabia for the first time in more than two decades,” EIA reported Wednesday. “In June and August, the United States surpassed Russia in crude oil production for the first time since February 1999.”
Indeed, U.S. drillers have continued to smash production records in 2018, including hitting 11 million barrels a day in output in July. That’s about double what the U.S. produced per day just eight years ago.
