When there is death in the South

http://img.food.com/img/recipes/94/40/7/large/picdV2tHp.jpg

 Exactly as I remember going with my mother to many houses of sadness.

As I drove in she was walking into the house with eggs for breakfast and homemade biscuits ready for baking. Somehow in rural Southern culture, food is always the first thought of neighbors when there is trouble. That is something they can do and not feel uncomfortable. It is something they do not have to explain or discuss or feel self-conscious about.

"Here, I brought you some fresh eggs for your breakfast. And here's a cake. And some potato salad." It means, "I love you. And I am sorry for what you are going through and I will share as much of your burden as I can." And maybe potato salad is a better way of saying it.

Any police officer who drives himself home at night in the family sedan with the NRA sticker in the back window is a traitor to the uniform, and is demonstrating a profound lack of respect for the brother officers who were killed in Las Vegas.

The Bundy Effect - The next family threatened, the next activist individual or group arrested or black-bagged without legitimate cause, the next major false flag, the next use of military forces as civil law enforcement, the next unConstitutional misstep, and I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that a revolt will erupt. It's not about making grand predictions; it's about examining the logical odds, and the odds are high.

 Remus says - ISIS took Mosul with 800 lightly armed irregulars against 30,000 regulars with artillery, armor and air. There's a difference between motivated warriors and paid uniform-fillers. They don't belong on the same battlefield. Nothing reveals this more clearly than a civil war.

 IRS's obstruction of justice - Lerner's computer sent those emails through a mail server. That server is a centralized device that, in a government installation is, with a high degree of certainty, backed up and those backups are archived on a permanent basis... I don't believe there are no backups of both the server and Lerner's computer. This means that they were almost-certainly deliberately destroyed, which is a crime.

Modest proposal - If I were president, or if I were in the House or Senate, I'd load a bus up every day with illegal immigrants, say 50 per day. Then I would lock them in the appropriate embassy... Or, if that didn't work, every flight from a (flag carrier) airline would be making its southbound flights full of illegals.

Seeding the country with criminal aliens - The ones we are losing are convicted felons, aliens from special interest countries, and other high risk individuals... we have been releasing aliens, through ICE, in Brownsville, Texas and McAllen, Texas. We have been ordered to go out of our way to bus them to those locations for release because they are cities of mostly Hispanic heritage, so fewer people will notice or care. We have been doing that for months before the stories broke in Phoenix, Arizona a couple of weeks ago.

Just who is America's police force, and by extension the Obama administration, which is behind this quiet militarization of local police forces with weapons that would normally be seen in a warzone, preparing for war against?, asks Tyler Durden in this article, Across America, Police Departments Are Quietly Preparing For War, at Zero Hedge.

 The American voter has placed untrustworthy people in positions of power and kept them there when they have clearly demonstrated that they have violated that public trust. Has America lost her ability to stand up against the tyrants and do what is right rather than what is easy? Obviously, this administration thinks you are as corrupt as they are and will vote them back into office or these young children would not be streaming into America to tug at your hearts and empty your heads of reason, says this statement from the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, via Bob Unruh at WND.
art-link-symbol-tiny-grey-arrow-only-rev01.gif As the issue nears crisis level, numerous indicators suggest the United States had long anticipated this very same mass influx and even attempted to schedule plans for it in advance... Despite Obama’s 2009 promise to end veteran homelessness by 2015, a nearly impossible goal which the president has less than six months to accomplish, accommodations for illegal immigrants have been virtually taken care of overnight.

McCain's Sword of Democles - It is believed by many crewmen and those who have investigated the case that McCain deliberately “wet-started” his A-4E to shake up the guy in the plane behind his A-4. “Wet-starts” shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft. In McCain’s case, the “wet-start” apparently “cooked off” and launched the Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that touched off the explosions and massive fire. The F-4 pilot was reportedly killed in the conflagration. McCain was quickly transferred to the USS Oriskany... it is between “very unlikely” and “impossible” for the Forrestal “wet start” to have been accidental.

Remus says - Aside from whether McCain wet-started his plane or not, there was the matter of shortcuts, the missiles were accidentally wired hot-to-fire before they should have been because two safety bypasses happened, each made without knowledge of the other. The flight deck was also chock-full of 1,000 bombs made in 1935. The crew was anxious to get them off their ship, they were dripping and unstable. Other than missiles, "only" those thousand-pounders detonated in the fire. Just to round out the screwups, some bomb mounts were only rated for 500 pounders. But such is war, this is how combat operations really are.

Ignoring the border Feds bust illegals at Asian restaurants

You couldn’t cook up a more bizarre government response to the illegal immigration crisis gripping the nation.

Despite the ongoing flood of illegal aliens pouring across the Mexican border into the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security has now turned its sights on Asian restaurants in the sleepy little town of State College, Pennsylvania, the home of Penn State University.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents swept into the State College area and raided at least eight Asian-owned businesses, arresting staff and hauling out cartons of alleged evidence.

A buffet restaurant popular with university students and a brand-new Karaoke bar were among the businesses ICE raided.

Price Index for Meats, Poultry, Fish & Eggs Rockets to All-Time High

Via avordvet

http://www.cnsnews.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/large/images/meatpoultryindex_0.jpg

The seasonally-adjusted price index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs hit an all-time high in May, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

In January 1967, when the BLS started tracking this measure, the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs was 38.1. As of last May, it was 234.572. By this January, it hit 240.006. By April, it hit 249.362. And, in May, it climbed to a record 252.832.

“The index for meats, poultry, fish and eggs has risen 7.7 percent over the span [last year],” says the BLS. “The index for food at home increased 0.7 percent, its largest increase since July 2011. Five of the six major grocery store food group indexes increased in May. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 1.4 percent in May after a 1.5 increase in April, with virtually all its major components increasing,” BLS states.

Diabetic severely injured by police

 http://www.news4sanantonio.com/news/features/top-stories/stories//images/NDVmMjQyYzQ0NDhl_12661.jpg

San Antonio has twice the number of people living with diabetes than the national average.

That's why we thought it was important to bring you the story of a local diabetic who was severely injured during a scuffle with police.

We want to be very transparent here, the gentleman happens to be a family member of News 4 San Antonio's Delaine Mathieu.

For that reason she has not been involved in our coverage or investigation of the incident.

News 4 Trouble Shooter Jaie Avila has the police video of what happened - and why diabetes plays an important role.

70-year old Thomas Mathieu doesn't fully remember the incident that sent him to the hospital with injuries to his face, head and arms, as well as three broken ribs.

When we interviewed him in mid-January, Mathieu had also developed a serious case of pneumonia.

"None of it adds up because I am, basically a gentle person," he said. News 4 San Antonio obtained police dash cam video from January 13th of this year.

Two SAPD officers responded to the Loop 410 Frontage Road, where it meets Evers Road.

That's where Thomas Mathieu had stopped his car in the turn lane, because he felt he was about to have a low blood sugar episode.

He says he didn't want to put others in danger. "I don't know what happened from there on," said Thomas Mathieu.

"I woke up with my face in the ground."

"Atheists, homosexuals, feminists, and racists don’t build schools like Harvard. They just destroy them."

Harvard Rainbow Wreath

New students at Harvard University will soon be treated to a mandatory special orientation program designed to teach them all about societal “privilege and power” structures. The group responsible for overseeing the program explains (kind of) what the “class” is:
A mandatory power and privilege training that examines components of race, gender, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, ability, religion, international status, and power differentials . . .
And why it’s important for Harvard students:
The exercise of public leadership … requires an honest assessment of structural power dynamics, of in-group and out-group dynamics, and of privilege.
Maybe you’re not up on the vagaries of Newspeak. So I’ll explain the class rather bluntly:

73-year-old Hamblen County man takes down burglar after being shot twice

 Don Grubb, 73, recovering after getting shot twice while defending his daughter's property from two burglars

A 73-year-old Hamblen County man was recovering Sunday night after getting shot twice while defending his property from two burglars.

The incident started around 11:40 p.m. Saturday night just off Long Creek Road.

Don Grubb was in bed Saturday night when his dog wouldn't stop barking.

"It was around midnight. My dog Toby was barking, and I got up and come outside and a car come by real slow," Grubb said.

The car, described as a light blue Crown Victoria, then drove right into his garden. The drivers took off to his granddaughter's house next door. That's when Grubb, a military veteran, grabbed his gun and jumped into action.

"I sat up there by their car and waited on them. I could hear them at the house. I heard it when they kicked the door down," Grubb said.
