Excerpt: This week, the Australian franchises of Kmart and

an online petition campaign with tens of thousands of signatures, saying
the game "encourages players to murder women for entertainment."
Critics of the game have long complained about its longstanding depiction of women

After the 2012 Presidential Debate she moderated

Excerpt: It was Christmas season, 1999. In March we had lost
our son and my wife and I had little enthusiasm for celebrating the season. With
Christmas less than two weeks away we hadn't bothered to put up a tree or
decorate the house, as is our tradition. Then we read in the paper that a local

people who had lost a loved one during the year. We decided to go. for our
hearts were still aching so dearly for our loss.

Members of the
military return home to reunite with their families
The link will take you to a six minute video that ESPN put
together about our soldiers returning home from Afghanistan to surprise their
families. It is a guaranteed emotional slammer. Terry's comments sync pretty
well with my own feelings, and probably a lot of other vets. --Del. You will be
touched. I think differently than a lot of people, and while these reunions are
touching I’m not a fan of setting them up for the entertainment of a crowd even
though the intent is honorable. What is evident in every scene is the intense
yearning bubbling inside every separated military family to be together again.
But what is foremost in my mind are the stupid assholes in Washington DC who
never came close to serving in the military, and whose political buffoonery
make deployments to a war zone even more dangerous by advertising to our enemy
things like the limits on our options, the timetable for withdrawal, and the
rules of engagement managed by lawyers that endanger our own troops. That
doesn’t make the reunion scenes any less touching, but it does make me want to
smack someone really hard. --Terry Garlicky

... It spotlights a man in a cowboy hat who croons in a country-and-western

Latest Federal
Mandate On 'Fair Housing' Is Anything But
Excerpt: Patrick Henry, an ardent supporter of a smaller,
local government, once said: "I like the dreams of the future better than
the history of the past." Something tells me that he would not utter such
a statement were he alive in 2014. Henry and many other Founding Fathers are
likely rolling over in their graves as a result of the incessant intrusion into
local affairs by our current president and the federal government. In the eyes
of the Obama administration, Americans are not the best judges of where they
should live and raise their families. At least that's the message coming from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development. (Yep, this is what the society
needs, federal bureaucrats laying out where everyone should live and setting up
rules to make sure that everyone complies. Every time I think they've pushed as
far into arrogance and stupidity as they can, they surprise me again. Hopefully
this will get all the very negative attention it deserves, and will get buried
by massive objections and the House finally deciding it's time to use the
defunding option. --Del )
Interior secretary
disappointed at land swap in Defense bill
Excerpt: The swap is part of a massive federal parks and
energy package that was attached to the National Defense Authorization Act and
passed by the House this week. It would transfer the Arizona site of the proposed Resolution
Copper mine — estimated to be one of the largest deposits in the world — to a
British mining company, enabling its development. The land, currently a
national forest, contains a site sacred to the San Carlos Apache tribe, where
warriors are believed to have leapt to their depth in the 19th century to avoid
being captured by troops. (Bad karma to mess with a sacred tribal site....Years
ago I had the opportunity to ride horseback into the Chiricahau National
Monument area and some very unusual things happened; not sure if old rocks with
ancient memories or vibes or spirits but I would not sell it to Australia,
infringing tribal lands. I think the Apaches would be back on the warpath..... And
the blacks have a chip on their shoulders for what they feel owed for
"reparations".... The Native Americans lost most of it and still have
the government screwing them out of the little they have left..... Where are
the organizations griping about Indian losses? Progressives just gripe about

was wrong. “I already had a feeling that something was watching me or
something, but I didn’t see the cat until it was close,” said Alyssa. Without
giving it a second thought, Alyssa knew exactly what she needed to do. “I just
raised up my gun and shot it point blank long ways through the body because it
was facing me when I shot.”
It only took one shot and the mountain lion was on the

Race Card News
Excerpt: The slogan of the wave of Ferguson protests is “Black Lives Matter”. But
progressives are far more interested in toting around the corpse of Michael
Brown to their protests than in the living man he was. Trayvon Martin, Michael
Brown and countless others like them grew up in broken families, their lives
haunted by fathers and stepfathers with gang ties. The only masculine culture
they had was that of the thug and that culture eventually killed them. ... Missouri has a black
homicide rate that is nearly double the nationwide homicide rate for black
people. And it’s nearly six times higher than the overall murder rate in Missouri . If the
media were really outraged by lost black lives, they would be outraged by those
numbers. (This will not be a popular essay, in fact Greenfield will get slimed for this for sure.
Speaking the unvarnished, gritty truth in the PC world is an unforgiveable
crime. Meanwhile, the puzzling decision of the NY Grand Jury to not even
allow a charge of involuntary manslaughter to be taken up in open court is
keeping the whole storm of emotion about Blacks and cops raging with no end in
sight. Now the feds will jump on the NY case for sure, and we will have at
least a year of waiting before that goes anywhere. --Del )
Balanced Account: In three minutes, two lives collide
and a nation divides over Ferguson Washington
Excerpt: Brown was 18, big, funny, a marijuana smoker,
religious and, on that summer’s day, a kid who robbed a convenience store of a
$15 packet of cigarillos. Wilson
was 28, big, soft-spoken, divorced, the son of a woman who was convicted of
stealing — an officer with a clean record, an officer who had never before
fired his weapon on duty. (Both Wilson and Johnson had reason to shade the
truth their way. To indict, the Grand Jury would have had to believe a few
witnesses, completely disregard many others. ~Bob)
What the Numbers Say on Police Use of Force. By Steven Malanga
Excerpt: Two decades of data on police interactions with the
public don’t support the idea that something extraordinary is afoot, that the
police are becoming “militarized” as President Obama has suggested, or that
distrust between police and local communities has produced an enormous spike in
conflicts. By contrast, the data show that significant crime declines have been
accompanied by a leveling off and then a reduction in confrontations with the
police, as reported by Americans of all races.
Excerpt: What is difficult to understand, though, is the
benefit that the Ferguson , Missouri Ferguson ,
like people all over America ,
are beginning to awaken and realize that they should be more than pawns in the
hands of manipulators who, in reality, could not care less about them.
Excerpt: Several lawmakers took to the House floor Monday
evening to make the “Hands up, don’t shoot,” gesture to protest the police
shooting of the unarmed Ferguson
teen, Michael Brown. “Hands up, don’t shoot. It’s a rallying cry of people all
across America
who are fed up with police violence,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said as he
took the floor. (Never mind that many witnesses, some black, say it didn't
happen. Let's go with, "hands off, don't loot!" ~Bob)

in their late-teens to early-20s stepped in front of her vehicle. When the
woman tried to drive around them, the suspects reportedly pulled out a firearm,
so she stopped the car. After hitting her windshield with a crowbar, the
suspects pulled the woman from her car, threw her on the ground and kicked her.
Christmas 2014: All I Want Is Peace On Earth, Goodwill
Towards Man And A Machine Gun. By Doug Giles
Excerpt: Look, wherever one comes down on the Ferguson

gotta feel more vulnerable than a teenage girl being babysat by Lena Dunham,
because the present mobs are three bubbles off-level and they’re
indiscriminately breaking and burning crap and injuring innocent people.
Indeed, across this nation, not only in Ferguson , the fever pitch is hot and I don’t
foresee this dying down anytime soon, especially when you have the likes of de

half-truths and innuendo to the easily influenced, low-intel vandals who have

President Bush
"Doesn't Understand" Grand Jury Decision in Eric Garner Case?
Excerpt: Crowley asked the
former President what he thought after seeing the video of Eric Garner being
killed on the streets of New York .
President Bush replied that, “The verdict was hard to understand. I
haven’t seen all the details, but it’s sad that race continues to play such an
emotional, divisive part of life.”
Excerpt: Clearly, this No True Bill is more difficult to
justify than the St. Louis grand jury’s vote
against filing homicide charges against Ferguson
police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Officer Pantaleo,
who is white, is being investigated for killing Mr. Garner, a 43-year-old black
man who was physically imposing but unarmed, and who was resisting arrest (for
a nonviolent crime, the illegal sale of untaxed cigarettes) but not overtly
threatening the safety of the police.
Progressivism Claims Another Life. By Derek Hunter
Excerpt: Still, he never should have died that summer day.
Big government killed Eric Garner. Police were just the weapon. Garner was
selling “illegal cigarettes” that day, or “loosies” – individual cigarettes
from a pack. Why would anyone buy individual cigarettes? Because government, in
this case New York ,
both city and state, have, through exorbitant taxation, made buying a whole
pack too expensive for many.
Excerpt: The fatal use of a banned chokehold on Eric Garner,
an asthmatic father of six and grandfather of two, in New York City seems to have had the opposite
effect — bringing wide condemnation crossing racial, partisan and ideological
lines. Conservatives have joined liberals in denouncing the Staten
Island grand jury’s decision Wednesday as a miscarriage of
justice.
Eric Garner and the
criminalization of everyday life
Excerpt: We all know politicians love their tax revenue. But
is it worth risking killing someone over a few bucks? That's what happened to
Eric Garner in Staten Island in July. He was
confronted by the NYPD for selling loose cigarettes for 75 cents on the black
market — a crime for which he had been repeatedly arrested in the past. Garner,
who was passively uncooperative but did not resist officers with force, ended
up dead.
Excerpt: There's an element of truth to this line of
argument. Violent crime rates are far higher among blacks than among whites and
other groups. One reason cops have a disproportionate number of interactions
with African-American males is that these men commit a disproportionate number
of offenses. Where the argument fails is in its assumption that blacks are
complacent about these realities and that whites are blameless. The gist of the
message is that blacks created the problem and blacks need to solve it. But the
problem didn't originate recently. (I will say again, it's not race, it's
culture. The pathologies of the inner city slums are present in Britain as
well--in the white community. See Life at the Bottom by Theodore Dalrymple. http://www.amazon.com/Life-Bottom-Worldview-Makes-Underclass/dp/1566635055/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405005974&sr=1-1&keywords=Life+at+the+Bottom

Who Is Killing Off
Black Americans. By Michael Brown
Excerpt: Regardless of the color of our skin or our
ethnicity, we need to listen carefully to these charges of injustice, asking
difficult questions about failures in our system. Simply to ignore them or deny
them won’t do. That being said, it is not the police who are the main culprits
in killing off black Americans. Not a chance. According to the best research
I’ve seen, roughly 100 blacks are killed by policemen every year compared to
roughly 300 whites killed by police over the same period of time.

‘Long Overdue’: Purple Hearts for Fort Hood, Little Rock Victims Rolled
Into Defense Funding Bill. The White House threatened to veto such
language before, but is faced this time with a bipartisan, bicameral
compromise.
Excerpt: In May 2012, President Obama threatened to veto the National Defense
Authorization Act because, among other reasons, the bill would have
awarded Purple Hearts to the victims of the 2009 Fort
Hood shooting and Little Rock recruitment office shooting. “The
Administration objects to section 552, which would grant Purple Hearts to the
victims of the shooting incidents in Fort Hood , Texas , and Little
Rock , Arkansas Little
Rock were tried by the State of Arkansas as violations of the State criminal
code rather than as acts of terrorism; as a result, this provision could create
appellate issues.” Years later, persistent lawmakers have gotten the Purple
Hearts for these victims of terrorism into the compromise NDAA for Fiscal Year
2015. (Not treating them as the victims of the war that they most assuredly are
was a total travesty, and has needed to be resolved for far too long. This is
one of those things where Mr. Obama's priorities can be seen to be very poor,
in fact, pretty much insulting to those in the service and those who have
served. --Del )

Excerpt: Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that
Muhammad married a child or that Islamic law sanctions child marriage. Stories
like these show that they’re lying. In reality, few things are more abundantly
attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic
tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded
her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage
contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage
with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years
(i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
