Deepa Kumar is a radical professor at Rutgers University who has tweeted out references comparing the US  to ISIS. She was featured this evening on Bill O'Reilly's show on Fox News.

Here is a report from SoCawlege.com

http://socawlege.com/rutgers-professor-deepa-kumar-united-states-more-brutal-than-isis-its-sad-when-people-blame-hamas-for-conflict/

In this article in Inside Higher Education, Ms Kumar defends herself.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/07/29/professor-says-her-comments-social-media-have-been-unfairly-characterized

I added my own comment on the above reader thread (not yet posted). Ms Kumar, I note, was one of the faculty activists who opposed a speaking appearance by Condi Rice at Rutgers recently. Thus, she appears to be another one of these academics who feel that free speech only applies to them because opposing opinions are just wrong and therefore not fit to be heard and evaluated.

Ms Kumar has the right of free speech to trash her adopted country (She comes from India). Nobody is going to arrest her and nobody is going to fire her.

But folks like little ol' me also have a right to respond to her vile comments and express our own. If anyone has threatened her, as she says, I condemn that. But I will gladly join the ranks of "right-wing blogs" that are criticizing her.

Gun sales soar in wake of Chattanooga shooting

Lead in is from The Last Resistance. 

My thoughts follow below. First though I must offer a huge thanks to friend and contributor, Gary Fouse. Thanks to Gary's diligence, efforts but most of all his kindness, this simple blog has kept going and solely due to his efforts. Thank you Gary. It is because of a very few people like you who have helped me out through some extremely dark times the last three plus years that I am slowly gathering up my marbles, what few I seem to have left and returning to the front line. It has not been easy learning to live with demons, accept that not all of them are bad and yes, yours truly is from another time in so many ways. There are very, very few who can understand me or even want to try. I am totally OK with this. Where I 'live' is extremely dark and violent much of the time. I am very comfortable of who and what I am. I am not here to please you or grovel for anyone's attention or love. Been there, done that.  Better to leave this here and to another post, perhaps, most likely not. Thanks again Gary. I owe you many beers.

Gun Sales Surge in Chattanooga after Shooting


It’s interesting to see how people respond differently to tragedies. In the wake of the Chattanooga mass murder, we heard the predictable calls by politicians to crack down on guns. They think that an inanimate object needs to be under more stringent controls so that it’s harder for people to have access to them. This is supposed to be a deterrent for criminals.

Other people see the tragedy as a reminder to better protect themselves and their families by stocking up on guns and ammo. They seem to understand better that criminals are always going to be able to get their hands on guns. And since that’s just the way it is, innocent people had better be able to defend themselves. Incidents like the one in Chattanooga where four Marines and a Sailor were murdered could happen at any time. It’s best to be prepared for such an incident.

In Chattanooga, gun sales have spiked following the shooting on July 16th:

According to News Channel 9, the buying spree began just hours after news of the Chattanooga attack broke. Carter Shooting Supply co-owner Kristi Manning said, “Thursday night, it immediately changed. It was honestly insane. I’ve seen it before. I’ve been doing this for 16 years, so I’ve seen it in the past where something tragic happens and people kind of panic and want to feel secure. And that’s what happened.”

Manning said the attack caught everyone unaware and renewed a focus on personal safety. She said, “We’re gun carriers, we’re the South, we’re Tennessee. We tote guns, we carry guns, we carry several guns. You’d never think it would happen here, but it caught us off guard.”
In addition to personal safety, New Channel 9 reported fears that the attack will be used to justify more gun control also contributed to higher sales.

Over the past weekend alone, Carter Shooting Supply sold “15 AR-15 rifles, 40 guns and 70 to 80 people signed up for the permit class.” Shooters Depot “sold 89 guns in two days, and 289 people signed up for the handgun carry permit class.”


Tennessee resident Michael Brown said, “You’re never going to take the guns out of the bad people’s hands no matter what you do, so I feel like we need to arm ourselves, and be prepared. I feel like if there were more people that had arms, there would be less crime. I may be wrong but that’s what I think.”

Mr. Brown is right. You’re never going to be able to disarm criminals through legislation. Because there are evil people out there, the solution is to get the government out of the way. Repeal bad laws that attempt to place stringent controls on guns and gun ownership. Like the 2nd Amendment says, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Let people freely arm themselves for self-defense purposes without all the bureaucratic, government red tape. It’s better that everyone is armed than just criminals and government agents.

-------------------------

Gun sales are increasing again after being a bit flat for a few months. Obama and his gun hating regime have been the best thing that ever happened to those of us who like guns, sells guns, manufacture guns, ammo, enjoy shooting and see guns as a way to protect ourselves, those we love and our possessions. The latter of which I have less and less of due to having to downsize with changes in my life. I am OK with this but guns and ammo are not one thing I am ever to going to reduce. Quite the opposite. However, whenever and by whatever means works for me. I am far from alone in this worthy cause.

Remember, your freedom does not come from other men or women, nor does your freedom come from the Bill of Rights or our Constitution. At the end of the day your freedom comes from yourself. If you let anyone take this away from you, especially the government, that responsibility truly lies with you and me.

When tragic events like this occur, be they caused by some mental whack job or someone who just goes berserk or it is a planted and planned false flag event, people react in a common sense way. You do not see the majority of people screaming for more gun free zones(a great way to advertise to criminals and crazies that your business, home etc. is easy pickings), no you see the opposite. Especially when we talk about those nasty, evil guns. Obama has lamented, mourned, railed on and on how his gun grabbing agenda has failed at almost every turn. There are no 'common sense' guns laws or regulations' simply because they always lead to registration and confiscation. This is the ultimate goal of those who hate guns or are supposedly level headed, clear thinking gun owners who are willing to surrender my rights, your rights to own weapons and protect ourselves. Think England, Australia, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, East Germany and the picture becomes crystal clear. Any such event as Chattanooga will be used, immediately used by those who want to take our right to keep and bear arms away from us. Bit by bit, piece by piece and this is what they have been doing. The ass backwards gun registration laws that were recently passed by Oregon and Washington perfectly illuminate this point. Oregon went even further down the collective rabbit hole than Washington did. I will not go into this here but one can research for themselves and I suggest you do. These two states are now the 'models' of what Bloomberg, Obama and such ilk will do more of. I have no love for the NRA and canceled my membership last year. While the NRA has done many good things for gun owners, the NRA has also been in cahoots with back door legislation to appease the TPTB under the guise of compromise. The problem with this is that such compromise never works as intended and only serves an agenda. I do not need to explain to anyone here about such agendas. There are others as well that sold us down the river, Second Amendment Foundation, National Association for Gun Rights have foundered in some way. Gun Owners Of America is one organization that has stayed the course, so far. The left has thrown big dollars into this fight and too many people fall for these 'feel good, we are doing something' bad gun regulations that always start with more strict registration.

I do not have all the answers nor am I the smartest tool in the toolbox. I would urge any and all of us to become active in some way. One of the most effective ways is to start locally within your own community, county and go forward from there. One thing the left and their collectivist friends do is get active and loud. Next year is an election year and another liberal or pablum RINO in the White House may be the fatal torpedo in the magazine of the ship. We voted in a Republican majority and they have done squat for us. It is going to get much darker before sunlight washes this liberal filth away.

Increasing gun sales?? Always a good thing unless you are Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Reid, you get the picture.

Remember; you never have enough lead or firepower..............EVER!

Your most obedient and humble servant.

The US Continues to Turn a Blind Eye to Islamic Persecution of Muslims (and Other Threats)




Gary Fouse

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com



"The U.S. insists that Muslims are the primary victims of Boko Haram... The question remains -- why is the U.S. downplaying or denying the attacks against Christians?" — Emmanuel Ogebe, Nigerian human rights lawyer, Washington D.C"


As Islamic persecution of Christians continues to rage world-wide, our clueless administration continues to ignore it. Our State Department tries to keep Christians from even visiting the US to testify about what is happening. In the below piece for the Gatestone Institute, Raymond Ibrahim describes how our State Department is hostile to Christian concerns for fear of offending the Islamic world.

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6141/state-dept-bars-christian-testimony

"Sister Diana, an influential Iraqi Christian leader, who was scheduled to visit the U.S. to advocate for persecuted Christians in the Mideast, was denied a visa by the U.S. State Department even though she had visited the U.S. before, most recently in 2012."

Meanwhile, the administration is in the process of relocating some 65,000 Syrians to the US. And we just cross-posted that story about a DHS bus full of Somalis being taken from the Mexican border to a detention center.

And speaking of Jeh Johnson, the empty suit head of DHS, this is the guy who just recently was asked by a Congressional Committee if anyone in the administration had reached out to the Steinle family, to which he said, "To who?" He had no idea who the young lady (Kate Steinle) was or at least he didn't know the name of the victim of the murder  in San Francisco at the hands of an illegal alien career criminal who should not have been on the streets to begin with. It was the biggest DHS-related issue on that day, and he didn't even know the name of the victim. After it was explained to him, he said that he didn't know if the family had been contacted. (They hadn't.)

But it gets worse with this boob. This week, he was captured on video explaining why DHS and the administration are not supposed to use the term Islamic terror when talking about ISIS or all the other Islamic terror groups.

It is because (according to Johnson) we need to reach out to the Muslim community and assure them that all this has nothing to do with Islam (hat tip Inquisitr).

http://www.inquisitr.com/2276932/dhs-secretary-jeh-johnson-refuses-to-call-isis-fighters-islamic-terrorists/

“I think it’s critical that in order to build our relationships and build our level of cooperation with the Islamic communities here, we have to say to them ‘Look, we understand that what this depraved terrorist organization is doing is no part of your religion.'”

Really? 

If I may ask Mr Johnson a rather convoluted question: If all this terror emanating from ISIS, al Qaeda, al Shabaab, Hamas, Hezbollah, and all the others has nothing to do with Islam, what trust or cooperation is needed? Why do you need to reach out to the Muslim community?

"To who?"

This boob, like his predecessor, Janet Napolitano, is clearly not up to the job. We are already paying the cost in American lives from Boston to Chattanooga to the US-Mexican border. And make no mistake: There are more to come.

Planned Parenthood Official: "I Want a Lamborghini"




Gary Fouse

The Center for Medical Progress, a pro-life group, has just released a second undercover video with another top Planned Parenthood official. In this video, Dr. Mary Gatter discusses the sale of fetal tissue. This tape is just as shocking as the first released by CMP. It also contradicts a statement just issued by PP president Cecile Richards that PP does not profit in any way from fetal tissue.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/07/21/new-planned-parenthood-video-shows-top-doc-haggling-over-price-fetal-body-parts/

Regardless of where you stand on the abortion issue, these tapes have to make you sick. Where have we come as a society where we have this organization, which receives millions of dollars from the government, can show such crass indifference to the babies they are aborting? These people can sit there over lunch and discuss what parts of a baby to crush and how much certain organs or tissue will cost. This is Nazi-like thinking.

Exaggerating am I? Contrast this with images of Joseph Mengele at Auschwitz taking twins off of box-cars to conduct experiments on them at Auschwitz. Contrast this with the Nazi euthanasia of the mentally disabled and forced abortions on the disabled, feeble-minded, Jews and Gypsies.

And you know what? The main reason the Nazis built the gas chambers at places like Auschwitz was that the psychological stress was becoming too much on the ordinary German soldiers, who were herding Jews en masse into ditches and shooting them by the hundreds. People like Heinrich Himmler recognized that they were producing soldiers who were being destroyed psychologically and turned into alcoholics to drown their guilt. That was also why they used prisoners to do the dirty work of herding the Jews into the gas chambers, cremating the bodies and disposing of the ashes.

Dr Gatter should have asked for a Mercedes Benz instead of a Lamborghini.

This is a classic example of how this nation began to lose its soul when Roe vs Wade was passed. Now we have doctors stuffing their faces with salad and asking for refills of their wine as they casually describe how they "did" a "17-weeker" that very morning.

If you want to argue that abortion is a right and a necessity, be my guest. Then explain to me why Planned Parenthood is deserving of government (tax-payer) funding.

Chattanooga: Just the Latest and More to Come

Chattanooga, Tennessee now is the latest dot on the US terror map. We have four dead Marines killed far from the field of combat by a 24-year-old Kuwaiti-born Tennessee resident named Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez. These are the latest sacrifices on the altar of the religion of peace.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/07/16/shooting-reported-at-chattanooga-army-recruiting-center-college-on-lockdown/


Not all the facts are in, but I have some preliminary thoughts.

Isn't Kuwait the nation we liberated from a horrific occupation by Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army?

I do not regard it as an accident that Tennessee has now seen a terrorist attack. Bill Warner, a Tennessee resident and expert on Islam has long warned that Tennessee is an active battleground state with much Islamist activity including the controversial construction of the Murfreesboro mosque. The thinking is that if Islam can conquer a Bible Belt state like Tennessee, the other 49 will be easy.

I also note the name of William Killian, the US Attorney from Knoxville, who is front and center making public pronouncements on this case. The is the same man who two years ago was making implied threats to local citizens in Manchester, Tennessee that they could be prosecuted for their opposition to Islam.

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2013/06/more-video-from-tennessee-free-speech.html

I wonder how Mr Killian feels now. Maybe he should go back and review the concerns those people at the public meeting he held expressed.





Liberal Bias in Academia? The AAUW




Gary Fouse

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com


There have been a lot of reports of surveys in recent years showing the liberal bias and political leanings (Democrat) of university professors. Here is one to add to the list. While waiting for my class to begin yesterday at UC Irvine, I picked up a copy of the American Association of University Women from a campus news rack. The issue was dedicated to the voting record of the 113th Congress, which covers the period January 2013-August 2014. If you go to the first link, you can download (second link) the voting records of each member of the Senate and House of Representatives as to 9 particular issues that the AAUW has interest in. A plus mark indicates that the politician has voted favorably on the issue (according to AAUW), while a minus sign indicates the opposite. In addition, each person is given a score from 0-100, one hundred being highest according to the scale. Obviously, a score above 50 is favorable while a score below 50 is unfavorable.

You will note that in most every case, Republicans scored below 50 while Democrats scored above 50. This pretty much tells you the leanings of the AAUW. At the first link you can also view past ratings.


https://www.aauwaction.org/voter-education/congressional-voting-record/

https://www.aauwaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/CVR-2013-14.pdf


In addition, I have highlighted some of the narrative in the second link to give you a flavor of the leanings of the AAUW.

"President Barack Obama’s second term started with an ideologically divided Congress, unwilling or unable to move legislation in the most basic policy areas. The president was forced to play a more visible role in defending key priorities such as health care, immigration reform, and judicial nominations, which became targets for congressional obstruction and even repeal". 

"The House of Representatives was more productive than the Senate in the volume of legislation moved forward, but the chamber largely focused on Tea Party priorities rather than moving more moderate proposals that might have had a chance of garnering Senate support and eventually being signed into law. For an example of this posturing, look no further than the 18 House votes that have been taken to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the 113th Congress, increasing the total number of House repeal votes to 54 in the past four years."

"As partisan gridlock and bickering have stalled congressional legislation, President Obama and his cabinet have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of dialog and progress. During his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, the president made it clear that he would take action where Congress did not, stating, “We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone.”24 He was referring to his power to issue executive orders, which, while limited in scope, could be used to advance his agenda. The president also promised to ensure additional regulatory guidance and reform, creating inter-agency task forces on critical policy issues, clarifying the rules underpinning a variety of laws, and providing stronger road maps for enforcement." 

I think you get the flavor.

"Uhhhhh.......yeaaaah,."

What ISIS Did in Palmyra

Hat tip Revoltes en Europe

Viewer warning: Graphic images

A week or so ago, ISIS captured the Syrian town of Palmyra, a site noted for its antiquities and Roman columns. Of course all that pre-dated the birth of Islam, so according to ISIS, it must be eradicated. Most observers expect the columns to come down soon while other treasures have already been smashed.

Now ISIS has used the Roman structures as a backdrop for their latest massacre, the execution of 25 captured Syrian soldiers. The video produced by ISIS with great pride comes from the French blog, Revoltes en Europe. (Warning: They are graphic.)

The title in French reads, "Muslims of the Islamic State kill 25 Syrian soldiers. Those who are sensitive should refrain (from watching). The video has been hidden from view on orders by the media."

http://revoltes-en-europe.over-blog.com/2015/07/les-musulmans-de-l-etat-islamique-tuent-25-soldats-syriens-dans-le-theatre-romain-de-palmyre-syrie-ames-sensibles-s-abstenir-video-o

I have said it before, and I will repeat: This is something that has no place in the West.  It should be isolated in the Middle East, where it is perfectly at home.

Black Churches Burning?

Hat tip Frontpage Magazine and Michelle Malkin


A couple of nights ago I was watching CNN International from London (much more to the left of their US counterparts). They were reporting the burning of a black church in Greeleyville, South Carolina. I was pretty taken back especially when I heard the next day that 6 black churches have been burned in the South just since the shooting in Charleston. That was reported by the New York Times. I thought to myself:, "Are we really getting this bad that we are returning to the bad old days? Is there really that much white hatred for black people in America? What happened to the New South? Have I been wrong about my own perceptions?"

Not so fast.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/259322/fanning-flames-another-black-church-arson-hoax-michelle-malkin

At this point, it appears that the Greeleyville church fire was caused by lightning.

Don't get me wrong; one case of a racist arson against a black church is one too many. However, it appears that some very prominent news organizations have taken a story and run with it before the facts have come in. We have seen it with Treyvon Martin. We have seen it with Michael Brown.

Those CNN news anchors over there in London are sitting there crowing that America is a racist country. They are no better than the clowns that you see on MSNBC. They ought to be paying attention to their own country, which is collapsing all around them.

This is a dangerous business these irresponsible journalists are engaging in. Tensions are high enough in this country and false stories like this only fan the flames. How irresponsible is it to take a church that was apparently struck by lightning and before the embers have died out, talk about white racists burning down black churches before you know that is the case. Again: If some white racist yahoo sets fire to a black church, I want the police to catch the guy and throw him in prison for a few decades.

This is another example of why Sean Hannity talks about the death of American journalism.
