Putin Envies The Clinton Body Count

Not that I think that Vladimir Putin is Mr. Congeniality but, gee, doesn't it seem funny that Russia is now facing protests before an election? Kinda like anti-Trump protests over here?

Huh, I wonder...

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was jailed for 15 days after the largest anti-government demonstrations for at least five years energized President Vladimir Putin’s critics as presidential elections loom.

Navalny was imprisoned by a Moscow court on Monday after being convicted of disobeying police and fined 20,000 rubles ($352) for organizing an unsanctioned protest after more than 1,000 people were detained in a wave of demonstrations in cities across Russia on Sunday. Despite draconian laws forbidding unsanctioned rallies, at least 60,000 took part in more than 80 protests, according to the independent Ekho Moskvy radio station.

Are Russian politics a corrupt cesspool? Oh yeah.
But our own brand of American politics stink just as bad.
Gee, journalists are getting killed or imprisoned in Russia? How awful!
Tell that to Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and Seth Rich and perhaps thirty or forty others.
Sorry, you can't. They're dead.
 Just ask yourself a question... how many people that you have known personally have been murdered?  I know two, both were cops. IMHO Putin has a lot of work to do if he is to catch up to the Clinton's body count.

[...]“This is just the start, and the culmination will be nearer to the presidential elections,” Vladimir Milov, one of the opposition leaders, said in a blog posting Monday. “Now our task is to force them into concessions.”

Doesn't this all sound familiar? Story here.

Putin is convinced that Hillary used her position as SecState to influence protests in Russia before a general election.

When mass protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin erupted in Moscow in December 2011, Putin made clear who he thought was really behind them: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

With the protesters accusing Putin of having rigged recent elections, the Russian leader pointed an angry finger at Clinton, who had issued a statement sharply critical of the voting results. “She said they were dishonest and unfair,” Putin fumed in public remarks, saying that Clinton gave “a signal” to demonstrators working “with the support of the U.S. State Department” to undermine his power. “We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs,” Putin declared.

It really is ridiculous that the Obamas, the Clintons and their media surrogates are complaining about other countries messing with our election when the US has a storied past doing the exact same thing to just about every one else.

[...]While the days of its worst behavior are long behind it, the United States does have a well-documented history of interfering and sometimes interrupting the workings of democracies elsewhere. It has occupied and intervened militarily in a whole swath of countries in the Caribbean and Latin America and fomented coups against democratically elected populists.

The most infamous episodes include the ousting of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 — whose government was replaced by an authoritarian monarchy favorable to Washington — the removal and assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba in 1961, and the violent toppling of socialist Chilean President Salvador Allende, whose government was swept aside in 1973 by a military coup led by the ruthless Gen. Augusto Pinochet.

For decades, these actions were considered imperatives of the Cold War, part of a global struggle against the Soviet Union and its supposed leftist proxies.

Pot. Kettle. Black. Some assembly required.

Walls For Me But Not For Thee

We got photos of construction at Obama's soon-to-be D.C. rental. You also see construction in the garage. As we reported, it will become an office with a bathroom.

We broke the story ... the rental will be home until Sasha graduates so the Obama's needed the property outfitted for the Secret Service and ... it needed more fortification.

Blind In San Francisco

There is a special kind of blindness that liberals exhibit. Or maybe it's a cognitive disconnect between what they say and do on one day and what they say and do on the next. Whatever the cause, it's maddening to witness it.

Take the death of Kate Steinle, a beautiful, 31 yr. old San Francisco woman who was murdered by an illegal alien, a Mexican, Francisco Lopez. Lopez, a known narcotics trafficker with a half dozen arrests, was released by San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi who refused to honor a request from ICE authorities to detain him. Ms. Steinle's Father is suing San Francisco and the federal government for their willful acts leading to the death of his daughter. On December 2nd, the feds and the City of San Francisco asked Mr. Steinle to drop the lawsuit.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The U.S. government and the City of San Francisco are asking Kate Steinle’s family to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit in a hearing on Friday.

Kate Steinle was shot and killed in July of 2015 on Pier 14 along San Francisco’s waterfront. Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant, has been charged in the murder.

Lopez-Sanchez was released from the San Francisco City Jail in Apil.

The family of Kate Steinle filed the federal lawsuit in May of 2016 against former San Francisco sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement, and the Bureau of Land Management.

The lawsuit seeks to hold the Bureau of Land Management, ICE, and former Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi accountable for providing “the means and opportunity for a repeat drug felon to secure a gun and kill Kate,” according to the complaint.

Lopez was freed on these grounds:

Lopez-Sanchez has five felony convictions for entering the United States illegally and was released from federal prison earlier this year and sent to San Francisco because of a 20-year-old warrant in a minor marijuana case. Federal immigration authorities were not alerted when his charges were dropped, and Lopez-Sanchez was freed to the streets under San Francisco “sanctuary city” law that limits turning over illegal aliens for deportation.

Now just the day before asking for relief from this lawsuit, the City of San Francisco passed a resolution, a "middle finger" to President-elect Trump, stating the following:

HEREAS, On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected to become the 45th President of the United States; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That no matter the threats made by President-elect Trump, San Francisco will remain a Sanctuary City. We will not turn our back on the men and women from other countries who help make this city great, and who represent over one third of our population. This is the Golden Gate-we build bridges, not walls; and, be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That we will never back down on women’s rights, whether in healthcare, the workplace, or any other area threatened by a man who treats women as obstacles to be demeaned or objects to be assaulted. And just as important, we will ensure our young girls grow up with role models who show them they can be or do anything; and,

So on Thursday the City comes out with an in-your-face pledge to a) break the law and b) protect women and the VERY NEXT DAY asks the family of a murder victim who was killed because they broke the law - to drop the law suit seeking to hold them accountable for their reckless actions. It sounds like the City by the Bay figures it is a woman's right to be killed in front of her family - sounds very Sharia-ish, doesn't it?

Forgive me, but I am praying to Saint Andreas to give that fault line a little nudge. Just a little one.

Don't Bother The ATF, They're Too Busy Selling Guns To The Cartels

Katie Couric's slanted piece on gun control - Katie and her producer admitted that they had a staffer commit a "straw purchase" of a firearm by sending him out of state to buy guns in Arizona in direct violation of federal law.

You may remember that Mayor Bloomberg screamed bloody murder about straw purchases ten years ago and the laws haven't changed.

From Fox News on May, 16, 2006:

A day earlier the mayor announced the city was suing 15 out-of-state gun dealers for what he said are violations of gun purchase laws caught on undercover videotape. In the sting operation, a person would complete paperwork and a background check while purchasing a gun only to give the firearm to someone else, commonly called a "straw purchase."

Still don't hear the outrage but it is a very selective outrage.

The ATF arrests people all the time for this. We need people to pressure the ATF to investigate Couric and Stephanie Soechtig (both for conspiracy) as well as the staffer who actually made the purchase.

“We sent a producer out and he is from Colorado and he went to Arizona and he was able to buy a Bushmaster and then three other pistoles without a background check in a matter of four hours. And that’s perfectly legal.”

Except it isn’t. Legal, that is. When Soechtig sent a producer to Arizona from Colorado specifically to acquire firearms, she could have actually broken two federal laws:

Interstate transfer: for a purchaser to acquire a firearm outside their state of residence – in this case, Colorado – the transfer must go through a licensed firearms dealer in the purchaser’s state of residence [18 U.S.C 922(a)(3); 27 CFR 478.29].
Straw purchase: one individual may not make the purchase of a firearm in someone else’s name [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(5)].

By Soechtig’s own admission, she sent a producer across state lines with instructions to purchase a firearm on her behalf (violation of straw purchase laws). And unless her producer is also a licensed firearms dealer, it’s likely that interstate transfer laws may also have been violated.

At Least We Know Who Trump Is

We pay more attention to ascertaining the true identity of someone being arrested for possessing a single marijuana cigarette than we do for the highest elected official in the land. Get arrested and your prints are researched and all alias information and prior arrests are listed. All your sins are uncovered through official channels.

Get caught with a joint and the government puts you under a microscope. Why doesn't that happen with politicians where they can really do some damage?

The fact that Anonymous has made no effort to find if any of Obama's SSN's are valid shows that they're just liberal trash after all. That's not exactly being against corruption on all sides. Disappointing.

However, Anonymous is going after Trump.

Other investigators have kicked up some interesting data regarding Obama's identity:

In Obama’s home state, Illinois, Sankey tracked down 16 different addresses for a Barack Obama or a Barack H. Obama, of which all are addresses he was known to have lived at. Two Social Security numbers appear for these addresses, one beginning with 042 and one starting 364.

In California, where Obama attended Occidental College, there are six addresses listed for him, all within easy driving distance of the college. However, there are three Social Security numbers connected to these addresses, 537 and two others, each beginning with 999.

There are no addresses listed in New York where he attended Columbia University, but there is one listed for him in nearby Jackson, NJ, with a Social Security number beginning with 485.

Not surprising that we'll only hear dirt about the Republican ticket. Every liberal democrat gets a pass from the MSM.

H/T Gorges Grouse

NOW He's Good

The lawyer who represented one of the idiots killed by police in Garland, TX, in a prior arrest was shocked to earn that her client had been killed while committing an act of terrorism. She had this to say:

The attorney who once defended one of two men who opened fire at a “Draw Muhammad” event in Texas on Sunday says she was “shocked” to learn that he was involved in the attack. She says she has represented a number of people charged with terrorism-related crimes. Some of them are the “worst of the worst,” but Elton Simpson was “one of the good ones,” she said.

“He was always respectful to me and my staff—did everything he was supposed to do,” attorney Kristina Sitton told Vocativ.

With a police round between his eyes, now he's a good one.

Critics of the Mohammed art exhibition were up in arms.

The New York Times' foreign correspondent Rukmini Callimachi asked, "Free speech aside, why would anyone do something as provocative as hosting a 'Muhammad drawing contest?' "

It amazes me how the media embraces provocative art like Serrano's "Piss Christ" or Mapplethrope's picture of some guy with a bullwhip stuck up his ass, but blows a gasket when Islam receives the same treatment.

Liam Neeson Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

PARA 1911 - A Thing Of Beauty

Actor Liam Neeson gets into trouble when he utters syllables neither written nor scripted by someone with a brain larger than a walnut. From the Blaze:

“Taken” star Liam Neeson might brandish an assortment of firearms in the movies, but the Hollywood actor is firmly in favor of gun control and believes America has “too many f***ing guns.”

Neeson made the recent comments while speaking about the recent terror attack against French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

“First off, my thoughts and prayers and my heart are with the deceased, and certainly with all of France, yesterday. I’ve got a lot of dear friends in Paris,” the 62-year-old said actor said,

“There’s too many f***ing guns out there,” Neeson continued. “Especially in America. I think the population is like, 320 million? There’s over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America."

"There's too many f***ing overrated, overpaid, undertalented actors out there," sig94 continued. "Especially in Hollywood. I have read that something like 120 thousand? are registered in the Screen Actors Guild - most of them are idiots who couldn't find their asses in the dark with a flashlight and a hot curling iron. And we're supposed to give credence to their cocaine-infused mumbling?"

“I think it’s a f***ing disgrace,” the actor added. “Every week now we’re picking up a newspaper and seeing, ‘Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.’”

Neeson, who is known by many for his role as a trigger-happy ex-agent, doesn’t think his views on guns are hypocritical.

“It’s in the movies, you know?” he said, according to Gulf News. “I think it can give people a great release from stresses in life and all the rest of it, you know what I mean? It doesn’t mean they’re all going to go out and go, ‘Yeah, let’s get a gun!’”

"I think it's a f***ing disgrace," sig94 added. "Every week now we're picking up a newspaper and seeing, 'Yet another few dozen women and children are slaughtered or pressed into slavery by Muslim terrorists. We're seeing hundreds of men shot, crucified or their heads cut off and not a single f***ing Hollywood liberal speaks out against it.'"

Sig94, who is a conservative, retired police officer, thinks that Neeson's views on guns are incredibly hypocritical and that his huge, ego-inflated head is stuck up his ass.

"It's in the movies, you know?" he said according to his blog. "I think media violence may perhaps distract people from their stressful lives for a few moments, but that is merely a temporary over-priced patch. In no way is it a fix. As soon as they get in their cars and drive home, the factors that caused the stress in the first place leap out and grab them by the throat again, Now that they've seen hundreds of mucked up pictures showing how a gun can improve their lot, does it surprise anyone that they're going to go out and go, 'Yeah, let's get a gun!'"

It has been well documented that exposure to media violence desensitizes children and they are far more likely to act out in an aggressive manner than children who do not experience this exposure. The societal consequences of growing to maturity in a violence laden culture apparently escapes the attention of Hollywood elites like Mr. Neeson.

Mr. Neeson's self-centered response indicates his need for release from financial stresses in life and a good swift kick in his tall, skinny ass. Just be careful not to hit him in the teeth.

Speaking of skinny ass kicking:

PARA USA, the firearms company that provided guns for use in the movie “Taken 3,” is cutting all ties with the film’s star, Liam Neeson, after he made a number of fiery anti-gun comments in a recent interview.

Not only did PARA USA say that the company “regrets its decision to provide firearms for use in the film,” the gun manufacturer vowed to never again provide firearms for any future films starring Neeson.

“While the film itself is entertaining, comments made by its Irish-born star during press junkets reflect a cultural and factual ignorance that undermines support of the Second Amendment and American liberties,” the company wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday.

Whiny Liberal Tastes Her Own Karma

The reporter who made public the address of Ferguson Police Office Wilson's address got outed herself.

And she doesn't like it one bit.

The New York Times journalist who published Darren Wilson’s home address wants police protection and has been calling the police nonstop, Gotnews.com has learned.

Julie Bosman “keeps calling the 020th District station complaining about people harassing and threatening her,” our source told us. She’s also “complaining about numerous food deliveries being sent to her residence.”

Chicago police department sources alerted Gotnews.com about the glaring double standard on Friday.

Gotnews.com published Julie Bosman’s address in Chicago after she published the address of Officer Darren Wilson and his new wife in a widely criticized move.

Suck it up sweetheart. That sauce can be spread all over your goose too. The same goes for the other NYT reporter.

Like The NY Thruway After The Buffalo Snowstorm

Just think of all the web traffic that would choke the intertubes if Kim Kardashian put this shirt over her butt.

The controversial novelty Hawaiian shirt worn by British scientist Dr. Matt Taylor which 'broke the internet' after a furious 'shirtstorm' whipped up by enraged feminists has proven surprisingly popular, selling out on American shirt supplier Alohaland.com.

Although Dr. Taylor's favourite shirt was a hand-made custom given to him by a close friend as a birthday present, a virtually identical shirt made to a similar cut and with the same fabric has long been available online. The shirt, originally referred to by the fabric pattern name 'New Gunner Girls' but now refereed to on the website as the 'Matt Taylor Astronaut', has been the subject of a rush of orders that has overwhelmed the American manufacturer.
