      He’s a lucky guy, the regular AR round is supposed to be able to,penetrate a Kevler helmet out to 200 yards. The helmet’s designed to protect from artillery shrapnel, biggest killer of soldiers on the battle field, not so much bullets. The 62-grain green tip round was supposed to be able to penetrate the Russian steel pot out to 600 meters.
      VA can still kill soldiers at any range.

    ACLU Lawyers Blame Christians for Orlando Attack Committed by Islamic Terrorist

    “…What do I think about the tweets by the ACLU attorney? Well, the ACLU is an organization that hates religious liberty, and public expressions of Christian belief and convictions. When a person denies God, they lose the rational ground for object morality, and moral reasoning becomes impossible. Anything becomes morally permissible, including lying.”

    Drove down to the coast to pick up my GGS yoday, listened to a local mostly-conservative talk show on the radio while I was pointing-aiming the truck.
    Host was dancing around the assault weapon ban issue by hinting ee might be safer if those weapons were not available for sale. I dug around the LA Times archives and found one article in 1996 and another in 1997 about huge illegal arms shipments coming from what turned out to be China to the US. One was a shipment of thousands of disassembled fully automatic weapons, mostly M2 carbines but there were M16s in there too. The other, a year later, was a shipment 2400 brand new Norinco AK47s coming to the US on a Chinese ship. They were bound for the Long Beach port, thebold Navy base closed under Clinton and leased to….the Chinese. Of course the Chinese knew nothing about how 2400 AKs could disappear from a plant connected to high Chinese officials, 2400 fully automstic AKs disappearing from a closed and guarded plant, transferred to shippibg containers and exiting through a Chinese port……
    BTW, the shipment of disassembled guns was later tracked back to weapons the US government had transferred to South Vietnam during tbe war, the DoD traced the guns’ serial numbers. Nothing was done, China was investigsting and the US let them have their way. Official story was the disassembled weapons were bound for Mex cartels or Latin/South American guerillas but there was no doubt from the shippibg labels on the AKs that they wrre bound for US streets.

        Chinese are building two huge ports in Mexico, one in Baja and another in Mex main. The Baja one will be anle to supply the West Coast while the maon Mex one will feed that I-35 drug racetrack the Fed LEA foot soldiers have been dreading.
        Shipping cans will be ‘certified ‘ clean by Customs overseas, downloaded in Mexico where they’ll be loaded on to 18-wheelers and zoomed to US distribution centers where they’ll be broken down. Huge amounts of money will change hands and you can bet that every imaginable illegal product will find its way in. We’re flooded now and we don’t have anywhere near the loose controls over importation we’ll have when porting is moved to Mexico. Thise AKs and RPGs should be as easily available here as they are in Syria.

    Milo Yianopoulos: Islam Is The Problem

    “I’m not talking about Islamists. I’m not talking about terrorists. I’m not talking about radical Islam. I’m talking about mainstream Muslim culture. There are eleven Muslim countries in which I could be killed for being a homosexual. The state penalty is death. One hundred million people live in country where the penalty for homosexuality is death. This is not radical Islam. This is mainstream Muslim society. Look what’s happening in Sweden. Look what’s happening anywhere in Germany, anywhere there are large influxes of a Muslim population. Things don’t end well for women and gays. The left has got to make a decision. Either they want female emancipation and it wants gay rights or it wants Islam. It’s got to pick.”

    https://euobserver.com/justice/133521

    Head of the counterrorism section of Europol is spilling the beans, openly saying that they believe there are Moslem elements stockpiling explosives. You can read weapons into that too.
    For an EU LEA group to break PC protocol and insult all of the innocent members of The Religion of Peace by suggesting that a few (4000 by count in the Europol database) are of evil intent is a big thing, the scent of fear must be in the air.

    Ah well, with our dear POtuS desperate to import as many uncleared potential Moslem terrorists as he can before he leaves office the unasked question is: “How long before it’s here?” In the words of the Obama’s spiritual mentor: “America’s chickens have come home to roost.” “…not God bless America. God damn America.” Good job, Barack, you and your Rev Wright are well on your way.

    Obama just gave a speech and other than his usual dangerous hateful rhetoric he ended it by basically saying I am slowly turning into Trump’s bitch.

    Good grief, Obama spent 10 minute crying like a sick puppy about how it doesn’t matter that he doesn’t use the phrase “radical Islamist terrorists” and then went on to say that he doesn’t use it because it might cause moderate Muslims to become Mateens.

    Wah wah wah! Obama doesn’t like politicians who tweet or go on cable TV.

    He was small, petty, petulant, snarky and sounded like a complete idiot.

    From his speech “Not once has an advisor told me if I said “radical Islam” then that would do the trick, we would defeat ISIL.”

    Obama said that we are seeing the fruit of Trumps rhetoric (he is too much of a sissy to use his name but for anyone with half a mind that is exactly what he was implying) in the attacks in San Bernardino and Orlando.

    Obama is getting more and more dangerous by the minute.

    This is only his second speech I have ever watched (just can’t stomach him) but I have read many of them. This was by far and away his most petulant, narcissistic, unhinged and dangerous speech to date.

      Like blaming Hindenburg for Hitler or Al Jolson for Idi Amin. Truth is, Islam began as a violent religion and, as hard as the moral cowards try to excuse it, remains so. Yes, taking a Moslem to lunch and apologizing for a thousand years of Christian oppression might make him less condescending towards any religion other than Islam , but what about those hundreds of millions of other Moslems who support violence against unbelievers?

        I would say that reality and Obama’s delusional world are colliding and he is the most arrogant and dangerous that he has ever been. Islam is his peace, it is the faith of the father who abandoned him, it is his connection to his father to his blackness, and he cannot accept that his ideal Islam is not Islam.

        Imagine the best memories of your childhood, your connection to how you define yourself and then finding out those memories are a lie. It is almost like kids who grow up and find out their “loving father” was serial killer. Most of them cannot let go of their “ideal” they accept that their fathers actions are connected to him but are really somehow not of him.

        Add all of that to Obama being an evil hateful racist who would be pleased to see the transformation of America and we have a starting point as to just how dangerous and malicious he is.

        As a rule I do not watch him. I can’t remember another speech I have listened to or watched other than his first whine fest about the attack in Orlando.

        Generally I read his speeches if I partake at all.

        Today Obama was extremely agitated and angry. It was not just his general irritation about having to do something other than receive adulation for breathing IMO this was different. He can not believe that after 7 years of being able to dismiss absolutely everyone with a sniff of his nose that he “The Great and Flawless Black Obama” is being taken to task by a man who he considers a rube.

    Well, here we go again, the Russians have hacked the DNC database and not only stole their inner communications but the “Death to Trump” database they’d compiled to fight him. Back to Hillary, remember the denials about the Rooskies having hacked her personal email account(s)? If they can hack the DNC’s and stay inside for a year without being found then they could sure as hell have hacked hers.

        Thry, like the Feds, hire contractors based on several factors with sheer ability being somewhat down on the list. Telling is that they, like my old Fed agency, hired a crew to come in and determine if the system were screwed and if so, how badly. They knew that their contractor had problems so they hired another contractor to come in and clean up and #2 found it. Like we did, they probably hired the cleaner-upper for its competence and not its correctness.

      I plowed through most of the article. So it said some of the hackers had access for about a year. Then, further down it says: “Other analysts noted that any dirt dug up in opposition research is likely to be made public anyway. Nonetheless, DNC leadership acted quickly after the intrusion’s discovery to contain the damage.” In between, they seem to go to great lengths to almost sound like apologists for the Russians doing all this – it’s their job. They desire to understand.

      I liked the “Nonetheless.” Nonetheless?? Don’t worry, most of it will become public anyway (sort of ignoring all the rest they got their hands on), and even though they mined away for a year, we acted very quickly once we finally figured it out.

        Federal,agencies try to minimize the damge by making the boo-boo seem to be no big deal, minimize it. Like the big OPM breach where the government’s EEO flagship agency lost all of the Federal government’s security clearance data. OK, not all of it, some really special sgencies knew they couldn’t trust OPM to take out the garbage so they did their own, but most of the rest lost it all. OPM tried to poo-poo it but the folks who were burned knew that their personal information, the personal information of all of their immediate family members andvmany family members of those immediate familes were lost. Then there was the information on the applicants’ references and on it goes. The losees were tremendous and to someone who does link analysis the link was an unbelievable windfall. No one got nailed, no one reallybreceived much more than a wrist slap and now the public’s attention is directed elsewhere it’s business as usual at the swamp.
        Don’t Expect anything more than slip-shod work from the Feds or anyone connected to them and you won’t be disappointed. Expect them to screw up and, if needed, chew their feet off to escape the blame.

            Depends on which Fed agency you work for, whether you’re current or retired. As far as I know the major personnel records center for most of the Feds has not been hacked, though that’s probably just a matter of time. Your FEHB records are psrt of your personnel file so it’s more likely the personnel records were hacked and the FEHB went with them. I posted, back when the OPM breach was first announced, that I’d contacted OPM to ask if the FEHB records were lost along with our personnel files and they refused to answer. I called mybSenstor and reminded the staffer that thry were still under FEHB and that if their personnel files were compromised so was their families data as their FEHB records were part of them. Got a call back in about a day confirming that FEHB data were stolen with personnel data. Your Fedruh Gummint at woik.

        Some pundits are suggesting that Putin favors Trump over Hillary and may slide info over to help his campaign. I can understand that as Bill was ALLEGED to be in certain Chinese pockets during hiscreign, selling out the US’s security for cash then and later. Of course the court testimony that implicating him is probably a pack of lies and certain other things are probably just coincidences but one wonders how much it would take to buy Hillary…purely an academic question.

    This is fascinating … a couple of cheers for the Russians.

    Scientists confirm reprogrammed adult stem cells identical to embryonic stem cells

    Researchers from the Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, Research Institute of Physical Chemical Medicine and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have concluded that reprogramming does not create differences between reprogrammed and embryonic stem cells. The results have been published in the journal Cell Cycle.

    Stem cells are specialized, undifferentiated cells that can divide and have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, they serve as a sort of internal repair system in many tissues, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another a more specialized cell type, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell (Fig 1). Scientists distinguish several types of stem cells. Stem cells that can potentially produce any cell in the body are called pluripotent stem cells. There are no pluripotent stem cells in an adult body; they are found naturally in early embryos.

    There are two ways to get pluripotent stem cells. The first is to extract them from the excess embryos produced during the in vitro fertilization procedure. But this practice is still controversial technically and ethically because it does destroy an embryo which could have been implanted. This is why researchers came up with the second way to get pluripotent stem cells – reprogramming adult cells.

    The process of “turning on” genes that are active in a stem cell and “turning off” genes that are responsible for cell specialization is called reprogramming. This technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka, who showed that the introduction of four specific proteins that are essential during early embryonic development could be used to convert adult cells into pluripotent cells. He was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize along with Sir John Gurdon “for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent.”(Fig.2) …

      Even our favorite Conservative Pundits can’t solve this puzzle.

      Why?

      Because it isn’t prefaced by the lying weasel-word “Radical”.

      Which is why the Conservatives are meaningless, now. They are Whigs.

    MORE about the danger of diseases with refugees:

    Nine Refugees With Active TB Sent To a Single Kentucky County Since 2013

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/06/14/nine-refugees-active-tb-sent-single-kentucky-county-since-2013/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

    Fayette County, Kentucky is not only the site of the University of Kentucky’s Lexington campus and home to the NCAA basketball powerhouse Kentucky Wildcats.

    It’s also where nine of the 842 refugees who arrived between 2013 and 2015 were diagnosed with active TB, according to the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department (LFCHD)

    Kentucky is now the fourth state in which Breitbart News has found refugees with active TB have been sent by the federal government. Ten refugees with active TB were sent to Colorado between 2011 and 2015. Four refugees with active TB were resettled in Indiana in 2015, and eleven refugees with active TB were resettled in Florida in the three years between 2013 and 2015…

      Michelle Obama is laughing about this news, if she sees it.

      I would find proof, but her quote about laughter being the most important part of being first lady has apparently been completely deleted from the internet.

      What a shock.

      Ah, there it is:

      http://www.vibe.com/2011/02/michelle-obama-says-laughter-good-marriage

      “I think a lot of laughing,” the first lady said at a White House luncheon with reporters who asked about the Obamas’ union. “I think in our house we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage.”

      And they laugh at us. Every day.

        I often wonder whether I would laugh at Michelle being forced to use a stainless-steel sink/toilet combo for a couple of decades, in front of her cellmate.

        I think I would at least chuckle a bit.

    This ridiculousness couldn’t happen at a more appropriate place. “Mandatory Cultural Competency Training”. Good grief. 🙄
