Friday B-Movie Pick: Ride Lonesome

Friday, June 26th, 2015

Ride Lonesome

A classic Western from 1959 recommended by none other than the Middleman! Great cast which includes Randolph Scott, Pernell Roberts, Lee Van Cleef, and a very young James Coburn. Scott plays a bounty hunter with his own reasons for bringing in a killer. Roberts and Coburn’s characters want to bring him in for their own reasons, and the killer’s brother, played by Van Cleef, a viscous, cold blooded killer, doesn’t want to see his little brother hang. Throw in Indian attacks and a beautiful woman (played by the director’s wife) for flavor, and you have a classic Western with Noir elements. Well worth the popcorn and rental fee.

Communist China hacks the US government

CYBER WAR PEARL HARBOR: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S EXCUSES AND LIES ABOUT OPM HACK MELT AWAY

In case you missed extensive main stream media coverage of this story, here is a quick summary: “…the personal data of some four million federal employees who sought security clearances over the past 30 years had been compromised. Now the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, J. David Cox, has informed OPM in a letter that his organization believes “the Central Personnel Data File was the targeted database, and that the hackers are now in possession of all personnel data for every federal employee, every federal retiree, and up to one million former federal employees.””

In other words, the US got pwoned by hackers in the employ of the Communist Chinese government.

The United States is loosing the Cyberwar big time and our Dear Leader really doesn’t seem to care.

Update: The number of Americans who had their personal information stolen from the OPM now at 25.7 million.

Round up Post

Favors to foundation donors stretch back to Hillary Clinton’s Senate days.  Corruption and the Clintons are old friends.

CIA releases memo showing agency blamed Bill Clinton for bankrupting war on terror ahead of 9/11.  There is a reason ABC has been pressured to never release The Path to 9/11 after the original, one time, airing.

Flight Logs Confirm Clinton and Dershowitz Flew on Pedophile Billionaire’s Sex Jet.  Of course there is a blackout of this on most of the so-called “main stream” media.  On the other hand, this is Billy Jeff Clinton we’re talking about.  It would have been surprising if he hadn’t been on a jet to an island where he could have sex with underaged girls.

Politico sat on allegations Lois Lerner had prior history of targeting conservatives. Given Politico’s well known left leaning tendencies, this is not a surprise.

Presented without further comment: How the @AP reports on two female presidential candidates from different parties.

 

NPR joins the “War on Women”

Sunday, June 14th, 2015

I caught a bit of the NPR Sunday Quiz/Talk show today.    One of the hosts was mocking one of the Republican presidential candidates’ comment about having a “rotating First Lady” if elected.  The candidate in question is unmarried.

The so-called “Liberal”, probably a “Progressive”,  democrat hosting the show immediately asked if the rotation would be like a rotisserie chicken or a slab of beef on a rotating pedestal, so “slices of First Lady” could be carved off as needed.

It is not surprising that the leftist’s first inclination was to equate a woman to a piece of meat.  As I have pointed out before, if you want to know what the extremist left is doing, just look to what they are accusing their enemies of.  Case in point, the alleged “War on Women” they accuse anybody to the right of Chairman Mao of conducting.

In addition to this “progressive” democrat doing what fascists do, dehumanize their foes, you can add the following to the extreme far left’s “War on Women.”

Feel free to add to the list.  There are plenty more examples.

Let’s look at some economic news:

From Professor Reynolds, Three ways to actually do something positive about the economy.

The reality behind the  current “low” unemployment numbers

“It is undeniable that the sharp reduction in taxes in the early 1980s was a strong impetus to economic growth” – Clinton econ team, 1994

Businesses quietly switch to dollar in socialist Venezuela.  Add this to long list of socialism failures that socialists refuse to acknowledge.

US Border Patrol helicopter forced down by gunfire from Mexico

Saturday, June 6th, 2015

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter operating near the Mexican border Texas was forced down after taking gunfire from people firing from Mexico.  An article from Breitbart states that the helicopter was part of a team interdicting a narcotics load and working with the U.S. Border Patrol.  The operation occurred near the headquarters of the Los Zetas drug cartel.

One has to wonder if the Los Zetas were one of the Mexican drug cartels that the Obama regime supplied weapons to.

I am prepared to be underwhelmed by our Dear Leader’s response to this armed attack from a foreign country on US federal agents.  The Mexican drug cartels have declared war the US.  Hopefully the response will be something stronger than supplying them more weapons payed for by the American taxpayer.

Update: CBP now has armored Blackhawks on the Mexican border.
