A wonderful interview with an admirable guy. Even his humor is inspiring. vid (51min) There are too many tidbits to point you to, so I’ll just let those of you with the patience find ‘em for yourselves. America needs to hear from more Americans like Justice Thomas. It’s cleansing.

~ ROLLOVER FIFY ~ Okay, things are a lot more involved than this [seminar outline redacted]; but when I ran across this graphic today, I was just bowled-away* by the inanity of the 99%erism involved.

Mike Rowe (PBUH) announced a work-ethic-based scholarship program (story & videos). [If I figure out how to embed the video, here, I will.] “We’re lending money we don’t have, to students who can’t pay it back, to educate them for jobs that no longer exist. That’s nuts.” Kicker is, you have to sign The Pledge. [...]

Adding a new wrinkle to the faith-vs-good-deeds debate: It’s not belief in God that counts, but a clean conscience that determines who gets to heaven, Pope Francis tells atheists in a letter …. … “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith,” the [...]

The oceans have stopped rising, and the world has stopped warming. A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 60 per cent. The rebound from 2012’s record low comes six years after the BBC reported [...]

Don’t do this. 1. Firearms pointed at audience 2. Firearms chambers closed ~ story ~ Now, this, boys and girls, is a tragedy waiting to happen. “Yeah, Doug,” you say, “but somebody probably said they unloaded all of ‘em.” Yeah, but if you can’t verify that yourself, 100% for sure, by seeing an open/empty chamber [...]

Today’s insensitivity fix. Outraged over somebody tryin’ to help. Now who didn’t see that comin’? If you go to the family reunion to meet women, youuu might be a Redneck. Inbreeding among British Muslims is threatening the health of their children, a leading geneticist warned yesterday. Professor Steve Jones, from University College London, said the [...]

Gonna chalk this one up as a win. I was just doing what any man would do … [story] “Man” being the operative word, here. The Marines: yeah, they have a few good ones.
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. Locker-room pat on the ass for Evans Chad Pollard, a hero who stood his ground. ~ vid 1 / vid 2 / story ~
Again with the community-sentry overzealous cop-wannabe thing: George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle …. Zimmerman [a white hispanic] was one of two men [no word on the other guy's [...]
Imagine the courage it took to do this.
looooove the jacket ~ vid & story ~Yeah, yeah, I know. Another cheap shot at some anti-gun guy, even if it is largely self-inflicted. Watch it again, though. It’s actually quite instructive. I find it fascinating trying to understand how this kind of world-view supports itself and dodges the pulled brain muscle you or I [...]
Katee Sackhoff: my gun-safety poster girl of the month. An actress claims that after sharing her pro-gun safety thoughts, she lost half of her followers on Twitter. Katee Sackhoff, most well-known for her role in the SiFi TV series “Battlestar Galactica” but also a star on the new series “Longmire,” tweeted Monday that she had [...]

An’ who the samhill says businesses hafta deal with individuals [...]
Euroweenieism: now with even more weenie. Car owners whose auto was torched during immigrant rioting aren’t getting sympathy from local officials… They’re getting tickets. The police chose to “wait” and “not to intervene” when the gangs burned cars. But those car owners who could not move their burnt-out wrecks, however, were fined. [slides "Visit Stockholm" [...]
