Kansas University Honoring War Criminals?

 

After the rousing success of Kansas University’s redesigned football uniforms in honor of Jennison’s Jay-hawkers of 1861, a competing Kansas university also recently unveiled a special-edition football uniform in commemoration of the atrocities of that bloody time.

Planned for an upcoming series of games, the uniform features blue pants with yellow stripe and bloodied saber, and a blue jersey styled in the fashion that a Federal “Jay-hawker” Soldier serving in Kansas would have worn in the 1860’s. A splash of red blood crosses the front of the jersey, with portraits on the back of Jennison, Abraham Lincoln and John Brown smiling with halos above their heads. Each uniform will also come with a belt on which several simulated scalps will hang.

Walmart Removes T-Shirts That Call For Lynching Journalists

 

Walmart removed t-shirts from its website that called for lynching reporters after a radio association pointed out the shirts to the corporation Wednesday.

The Radio Television Digital News Association sent a letter to Walmart calling for the shirts to be removed from the site because they “openly encouraged violence” against reporters, according to NPR. The black shirts read “Rope. Tree. Journalists. Some Assembly Required” on the back.

Surprise! :) Media are being dishonest about Republican tax bill's treatment of the middle class

The New York Times editorial page crossed the line from spirited opinion journalism to outright activism by tweeting phone numbers of key senators and urging constituents to demand lawmakers oppose the Republican tax bill. Sadly, the publication’s activism has polluted its news coverage.

While the Republican plan is by no means perfect and can and should be improved in a number of ways, debate should at least be conducted with an intellectually honest presentation of basic facts.

The Times ran a front-page story on Thursday with the breathless headline, “G.O.P. Tax Plan Could Reshape Life in the U.S.” Though it was dubbed “analysis,” that doesn’t excuse this line, which was widely-cited on social media: “By 2027, people making $40,000 to $50,000 would pay a combined $5.3 billion more in taxes, while the group earning $1 million or more would get a $5.8 billion cut, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation and the Congressional Budget Office.” It isn’t merely misleading, but factually inaccurate. And it’s indicative of a lot of media coverage about the tax bill, so it’s worth exploring in more detail.

ABC Makes "Epic Mistake", Retracts Bombshell Flynn Story

Via David


Having caused chaos in financial markets briefly, set the liberal media on fire with 'I told you so's, and sparked a renewed round of #ImpeachTrump demands, ABC News issued a 'clarification' to their bombshell Flynn report that not only negates the entire story but provides President Trump with another round of ammunition to fire against the 'fake news' media.

What tax reform will mean for you

Via Cousin John


Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed arguably the biggest tax cut and reform of the tax code in history. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) is a bold, pro-growth tax bill aimed at improving the standard of living for all Americans, strengthening our economy, and bringing jobs back.

This legislation respects hardworking taxpayers and the challenges they face by making the tax code clearer, simpler, and fairer.  Our bill expands the current tax brackets to enable Americans to keep more of their paycheck in addition to lowering some of the rates.  Specifically, H.R. 1 lowers the 10% bracket to effectively zero, the current 15% bracket to 12%, and then retains the 25%, 35% and 39.6% brackets (Again, you will want to note the new income ranges on the right side below.)

Flynn Charged With Lying to FBI, Clapper Still Free After Committing Clear Perjury

 

Being a member of the deep state has its perks

 

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn has been charged with “willfully and knowingly” lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador, charges that James Clapper has been able to avoid over 4 years after committing clear perjury when he lied under oath about the NSA’s mass surveillance of Americans.

“The charging document states that Flynn made a false statement to the FBI when he stated that in December 2016 he did not ask Kislyak “to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions that the United States had imposed against Russia that same day; and Flynn did not recall the Russian ambassador subsequently telling him that Russia had chosen to moderate its response to those sanctions as a result of his request,” reports CNN.

While Flynn is expected to plead guilty to making false statements, Obama’s DNI head Clapper was able to commit brazen perjury with no consequences whatsoever.

CNN: White House claims Obama admin approved Flynn calls with Russian ambassador

The White House said on Friday that it was the Obama administration that authorized former national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during President Trump's transition, according to CNN.

Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Kislyak in the month before Trump took office, the first current or former Trump White House official brought down by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's election meddling.

Court records indicate that his communications with Kislyak were directed by a Trump transition official, with multiple news outlets reporting that official was Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.

Via Billy


The Department of Justice has issued a federal warrant for the arrest of an illegal immigrant who on Thursday was acquitted of murder charges in the 2015 killing of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.

A jury found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a Mexican immigrant who has been deported multiple times only to return to the U.S., not guilty of murder and charges of involuntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The Department of Justice on Friday unsealed the arrest warrant, which accuses Zarate of violating his supervised release, in the Western District of Texas, the Hill reported.

Honolulu Police Dept. to Pot Smokers: ‘You Have 30 Days to Turn over Your Guns’

 

The Honolulu Police Department is demanding that medical marijuana users turn over their firearms.
In a letter dated Nov. 13, Police Chief Susan Ballard drew a line in the sand. It’s either your weed or your guns.

“Your medical marijuana use disqualifies you from ownership of firearms and ammunition,” the letter reads.

“If you currently own or have any firearms,” it continues, “you have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to voluntary surrender your firearms, permit, and ammunition to the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) or otherwise transfer ownership.”

Open Letter: Green Berets Go Soft, Lower Standards to Be More Inclusive


 Clay Martin is a former Green Beret and Marine Scout Sniper.

 LANGUAGE!

Clay’s take: We better find the guy that wrote this letter (see below) quick, so we can give him a medal! It is a sad state of affairs when things get so fucked up we have to air the Regiments dirty laundry in public, but sometimes you have no other choice. 

I commend this man and his clearly huge set of clanging brass balls. And I hope he spent enough time as a spook to get away with this. If they find him, rest assured the command structure of the Special Warfare Center will crush him. Good luck brother. I hope you survive to fight another day. You have done a great service to the Regiment, and this retired 3rd Group 18F applauds your actions.

Trump: Kate Steinle verdict more reason to 'BUILD THE WALL!'

President Trump said Friday that the not guilty verdict against Kate Steinle's alleged killer, Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, is more reason to secure the U.S.-Mexico border by building a border wall.

"The Kate Steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected Obama border, always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court. His exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. BUILD THE WALL!" Trump tweeted Friday morning.
Zarate, a Mexican man who was deported five times, was found not guilty of fatally shooting the 32-year-old woman in an apparent random incident in California more than two years ago.

 When one thinks of mass murder, Hitler comes to mind. If not Hitler, then Tojo, Stalin, or Mao. Credit is given to the 20th-century totalitarians as the worst species of tyranny to have ever arisen. However, the alarming truth is that Islam has killed more than any of these, and may surpass all of them combined in numbers and cruelty.

The enormity of the slaughters of the "religion of peace" are so far beyond comprehension that even honest historians overlook the scale. When one looks beyond our myopic focus, Islam is the greatest killing machine in the history of mankind, bar none.

The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. -- Will Durant, as quoted on Daniel Pipes site.

NC: I RememberThe Water Picture

 A Magical Tow Sack
 A Magical Tow Sack

 ***********************

Carolina Country

Growing up on a North Carolina farm was hard years ago. Our friend always says his family had all of the necessities in the ’40s and ’50s, but none of the extras. For instance, there were very few pictures on the walls. Money had to be spent elsewhere.

His parents did without some of the extras to make sure their children had more. When he became an adult, he wanted to show his appreciation for what they had done.

So, on special occasions like birthdays or Christmas, he tried to make sure his parents had special gifts. He would ask them what they wanted and make sure he bought whatever they asked for.

One year, he asked his mother what she would REALLY like to have. She said she really wanted a water picture. So, our friend drove to the nearest big town and began to look for a water picture. He went to several stores before he found exactly what he wanted.

The picture he found was a mountain scene. It had a waterfall cascading down the mountainside, into a pond. There were shadows and silhouettes in the pond. Around all the water was a large forest. The colors were all vibrant — almost intense. I could imagine the whole picture as our friend described it.

I could almost feel the coolness of the water. This picture was such a beautiful and peaceful scene. Our friend knew his mother would be pleased.

It was a big picture. So, he wrapped it all carefully and went to give it to his mother.

Arriving there, he handed his mother the water picture. He noticed his mother seemed to have a puzzled look on her face.

After she unwrapped the water picture, she began to laugh and laugh. He wasn’t sure what was so funny. He thought the picture was beautiful!

When she finally quit laughing, his mother explained. She wanted a water PITCHER, not a water PICTURE.

The next day, he went and bought his mother a tree‑green colored pottery water pitcher.

To this day, the family still laughs. His father gave him the water PITCHER when his mother died. It is still one of his most treasured possessions!
