Connecticut Citizens Defense League is having its Fourth Annual event this Saturday.  Click here for details.

And click here for the gallery from last year's run.

The War Candidate

Nor has the Democratic Party candidate for president this year, Hillary Clinton, sought peace. Instead she has pushed America into successive invasions, successive efforts at “regime change.” She has sought to prevent Americans from seeking friendship or cooperation with President Vladimir Putin of Russia by characterizing him as “another Hitler.” She proclaims herself ready to invade Syria immediately after taking the oath of office. Her shadow War Cabinet brims with the architects of war and disaster for the past decades, the neocons who led us to our present pass, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, in Ukraine, unrepentant of all past errors, ready to resume it all with fresh trillions and fresh blood. And the Democrats she leads seem intent on worsening relations with Russia, for example by sending American warships into the Black Sea, or by introducing nuclear weapons ever closer to Russia itself. [More]

And most importantly, she'll bring the war home by bringing in and sustaining the invaders.

We're the Only Ones Recorded Enough

You`re about to see disturbing police dash camera video that has never been released; it involves former St. Louis Police Officer Jason Stockley, who`s now charged with first degree murder because of what happens on this video. [More]

You know what needs to happen next.

Yeah, we need to find out who the whistleblower is who gave the dashcam video to the reporter...

‘70% of European Jews won’t go to shul on High Holy Days despite heightened security’ [More]

That's OK-- the ones who will vote to perpetuate the madness here are secular and don't go anyway. Either that or sheep with no sense of history.

A Bug or a Feature?

The researchers were able to remotely control the braking system, sunroof, door locks, trunk, side-view mirrors and more [More]

Kind'a makes me want to go out there and get one of those RFID-controlled "smart guns"...

Yes ICANN

Why change it now and so close to the election? [More]

Because they can...?

Déjà Vu All Over Again

It feels like I've heard this before... [More]

But where?

MA Court Rules Racist Law Enforcement Legal

Can I flee from police too? [More]

No?

Why?

Oh.

A GOP Megadonor

Well, we see where his loyalties are... [More]

Coming Soon, to a Hood Near You

Now imagine the reaction if the situation had been reversed. [Watch]

And if you allow "profiling" to influence your decision to approach or avoid, guess what that makes you...?

Among the Many Unanswered Questions

Among the many unanswered questions about the condition are what causes it, how best to treat it and how long the paralysis lasts. [More]

I can think of one question that doesn't even look like it's being asked, at least, publicly.

What a Sick @#!*

Disgraced former lawmaker Anthony Weiner had a months-long online relationship with a 15-year-old girl whom he asked to dress up in school uniforms and be part of “rape fantasies,” according to an explosive report Wednesday. [More]

And this guy doesn't think you and I can be trusted to exercise self-control.

Couldn't Happen to a More Deserving Headcase

Does this mean Timothy Johnson is going to need to find someone else to play Renfield to? [More]

No Excuse

The moron's name ought to be published. [More]

Is YOUR Republican Congressman an Establishment Sellout?

And they say there are no stupid questions. [More]

Y'know, it would help if they printed the names on these things. Some signatures are so illegible I can't tell who they are.

Here's hoping I end up owing my guy an apology, rather than vice versa:

UPDATE: Looks like I didn't scroll down far enough.  Guess I'm used to seeing names under the sig line. And nope, my guy has some 'splainin' to do.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Some in Alaska's establishment GOP not so secretly worked against Joe Miller in 2010 to back Murkowski.  And now they expect everyone to eat it and like it in 2016.

Some won't play that game.

End of an Era

Sipsey Street Irregulars is closing down. [More]

It's sad news, but not unexpected, and unavoidable, really. Without going into details I am not at liberty to share, I support Matthew in his decision to pull the plug.

I was not only there for the birth of the blog, I'm the one who badgered Mike into starting it. We collaborated closely throughout on stories and developments that only time will tell how much of a difference was made. My opinion is he did great work there that deserves a place in the national memory as long as the nation exists to remember.

For the present, the archive should remain.  I do not know how long Blogspot will allow it to remain with no update activity -- perhaps as long as visitors come.

UPDATE: Several of you contacting me are, as Mike used to say, "leaping to illusions." This much I can tell you: Matt's decision was not because he was being pressured or intimidated. And don't buy into the creeping disinformation, posted by people who flat out don't know what they're talking about, for reasons only they can say.

'We Out Like the Taliban!

What, you mean hostile to and destructive of civilization...? And might that have anything to do with your particular station in life, or is it all because of "racism"? [More]

Curious how, as a voting bloc, the demographic overwhelmingly favors the party of "Only Ones"...

Years in the Making

"The vetting process, while not perfect, is a very, very stringent, and it can take almost up to two years for a single refugee to make it into the country," he said. [More]

So you'd say it's rigorous...?

I see that "two years" claim parroted a lot.  I wonder if there's much of a difference between "can take" and "generally does take." And in any case, do you know who was admitted into this country "almost up to two years" prior to acting out?
