Surprise! - Why "shoot 'n scoot" is good advice, urban warfare included. A Syrian warplane kills Syrian rebels caught in the open. Video, 1m 43s

The United States is still under military rule, which is the very reason that martial law can still be declared with the stroke of a presidential pen, just as Abraham Lincoln first penned it in 1861. If a state were to attempt to succeed from the "union" today, martial law would be declared and military rule would ensue until the rebellion could be squashed, no different than it was then.

Mandela's South Africa - We are not told that the nation now boasts the world’s highest per-capita rate of rape, highest total number of HIV infections, and a per-capita murder rate seven times that of the USA. We don't hear the merest suggestion that South Africa is likely only a decade or two away from becoming Zimbabwe. Instead, we get Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey creaming their jeans over His Holiness. And at the very end, we see children's choirs in South Africa and New York City singing a version of John Lennon's "Imagine." The final frames show a black boy hitting sour notes as he sings the line "And the world shall live as one," says Jim Goad in this article, Mandela: What the Obits Omit, at Taki's Magazine.

 Senior Chris Davis, 18, was among many students Saturday trying to make sense of Pierson's shooting rampage. "He was a weird kid," Davis said. "He's a self-proclaimed communist, just wears Soviet shirts all the time."

Tens of thousands of seats in the venue, the FNB football stadium in Johannesburg, remained empty throughout five hours of eulogy. Even at the height of the service, only two thirds of seats were taken, a major embarrassment for the government of South Africa ... The memorial service was also marked by a noticeable lack of white participants, denting South Africa’s claim to be a fully integrated 'Rainbow Nation'.

For all of his adult life, Nelson Mandela was outspoken about his core beliefs. For most of them, he was a Marxist revolutionary, committed to the violent overthrow of his government. Obama, on the other hand, has never been candid with us about his past associations or activities... And the less said about his communist and terrorist associations back then, the better.

In Western multiracial societies, whites are the wimps. Every other race asserts itself, lobbies, agitates, makes demands, and is given quotas, preferences, and privileges. Only whites cringe, defer, and grovel. It is natural to feel contempt for people who are so ashamed of their ancestors and of their own existence.

 With traitorous leaders like John Boehner and Eric Kantor, the House Republican "leadership" has far more in common with Obama than with the Republicans they nominally represent. They will "capitulate" on immigration too if they think they can get away with it and still preserve their political careers. The US political system has completely failed.

Our treaty with Seoul was signed when South Korea was ravaged and destitute after three years of war. Today, the South has twice the population and 40 times the economy of the North. Why are we still there?
