Evolution: FAIL

Seems that the evolutionists have been served another sticky wicket in their attack on those who believe in a divinely inspired Creation.

U.S. geneticists say a second code hiding within DNA changes how scientists read its instructions and interpret mutations to make sense of health and disease.

Since the genetic code was deciphered in the 1960s, scientists have assumed it was used exclusively to write information about proteins, but University of Washington scientists say they've discovered genomes use the genetic code to write two separate "languages."

One, long understood, describes how proteins are made, while the other instructs the cell on how genes are controlled. One language is written on top of the other, which is why the second language remained hidden for so long, a university release said Thursday.

The more you open this mystery, the more you find out that you have more to unravel. Yet in their blindness they continue to attribute the unique qualities and capabilities of DNA to their goddess "Nature."

"For over 40 years we have assumed that DNA changes affecting the genetic code solely impact how proteins are made," UW genome sciences Professor John Stamatoyannopoulos said. "Now we know that this basic assumption about reading the human genome missed half of the picture. These new findings highlight that DNA is an incredibly powerful information storage device, which nature has fully exploited in unexpected ways."

Parts of the genetic code have two meanings, one related to protein sequence, and one related to gene control, the researchers said, and both apparently evolved in concert with each other.

The gene control instructions appear to help stabilize certain beneficial features of proteins and how they are made, they said.

This only strengthens the intelligent design community,

Why The World Is A More Dangerous Place

The American Thinker has an article on the decline and fall of American military might that includes this:

In addition to the meat-ax approach to America's naval, air, and ground forces required by the Sequester (which originated in the White House), the Obama Administration is reducing the Pentagon's budget by hundreds of billions of dollars. Obama is also slicing the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Once all the military budget cuts are in place, the United States will have the fewest naval vessels at sea since before World War I, the smallest Air Force ever, and an Army and Marine Corps with severely diminished capacity. The nation will have only 300 or so nuclear weapons. The hollow military which we heard so much about during the Carter years will be back.

Instead, we spend trillions on soft social spending to reward generations of the sick, lame and lazy. There are billions to give to illegal aliens, AKA "criminals'" so they can attend our universities and obtain free medical care. There are more billions to give to rogue Muslim states who celebrate the deaths of our people. And of course there are hundreds of millions to give to our imposter president;s vacations to keep his wife amused. Every time this POS steps out of the White House it costs us another $10 mill.

It used to be that a robust US military enforced a Pax Americana. Now our ambassadors are murdered with impunity, administration officials refuse to testify regarding incompetence and malfeasance and the forces used to protect American interests abroad are reduced through sequester cuts just approved by the Republican controlled Congress.

The Angry White Dude has started filing his divorce papers form the Republican Party. I will not follow suit for one reason, and one reason only. When the Republican fund raisers call me for a donation I want the opportunity to tell then to go f*** off.

An Apology Isn't Enough

The New York Post's Andrea Peyser says that Obama owes us all an apology for his childish middle school behavior at Mandela's funeral service. Taking everything else this shameless imposter has done to this country, I'd say a prison sentence for treason would be more appropriate.

The president of the United States, leader of the free world, standard-bearer for everything upright, good and wholesome about the nation he leads, lost his morality, his dignity and his mind, using the solemn occasion of Nelson Mandela’s memorial service Tuesday to act like a hormone-ravaged frat boy on a road trip to a strip bar.

In front of 91 world leaders, the mourning nation of South Africa and Obama’s clearly furious wife, Michelle, the president flirted, giggled, whispered like a recalcitrant child and made a damn fool of himself at first sight of Denmark’s voluptuously curvy and married prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

Not to be outdone by the president’s bad behavior, the Danish hellcat hiked up her skirt to expose long Scandinavian legs covered by nothing more substantial than sheer black stockings .

[...] Finally, Obama posed for an iPhone selfie with the Danish hottie and British Prime Minister David Cameron. Only after the damaging photo eruption did Obama get hold of himself and regain a dim memory of his marriage vows. He finally straightened his face and moved away from the gentle gams of the Danish object of his desire.

Eventually the scowling First Lady stepped in to restore order and decorum by separating the boisterous children. Even Prime Minister Cameron could not withstand the heat generated by Michele's glare. In the following photograph, he is no where to be found. Or perhaps Michele ate him.

With the First Lady acting as monitor, the mourners spent the rest of the trip in proper introspective silence.

Will We Get A Nelson Mandela Day??

The Christian Science Monitor reports:

Four US presidents, at least 50 other world leaders, some two dozen members of Congress, and many other notables will attend Nelson Mandela's memorial service Tuesday in a soccer stadium. With such short notice, it's a big challenge for the Secret Service and other agencies.

We have yet to hear from the CEO's of Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone and other makers of fine quality necklaces as to whether or not they will also attend.

The “ceremony of remembrance” Tuesday will be held in the Soweto soccer stadium, which holds 94,000 people.

No mention was made in remembrance of the ashes of the tens of thousands of South Africans murdered by Mandela's ANC communists. However, the battle lines are being drawn for divvying up the profits to be made from Mandela's famous name. It is reminiscent of the squabbles that erupted after the deaths of another terrorist, Yasir Arafat, and pop legend Michael Jackson.

Reuters reports:

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - From political posters to bottles of wine and kitchen aprons, the face and name of Nelson Mandela are a potent commercial and political brand in South Africa. Little wonder it's so sought after - and the source of occasional squabbles.

Following his death on Thursday at the age of 95, the scramble for control of the Mandela legacy - both financial and moral - will involve his family, the ruling African National Congress (ANC), and the Nelson Mandela Foundation he set up to protect his broader message.

At stake is the inheritance that will go to Mandela's more than 30 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, some of whom already use the Mandela name and image to market everything from clothing to reality TV.

There are also the Mandela brands and trademarks that help fund the Foundation. And for the ANC, Mandela's reputation as an anti-apartheid hero is worth votes for years to come.

Right now the SA government is not releasing any information on Mandela's personal fortune. We'll have to wait and see how much Nelson and Winnie stole.

This POS is viewed by lofo liberals as Jesus, MLK, Che and Stalin all rolled into one. Watch for it; the stinking, pandering politicians here in America will move to make his birthday a national holiday. Somewhere a bridge will be named after him. I hope it leads to a festering shithole.

A Sad Day

It was a sad day, the day this country honored the death of a murderous communist by lowering it's flags.

Nelson Mandela and his wife, Winnie, should also be remembered for necklacing - the practice of murdering political opponents by putting a used tire around their necks, filling it with gasoline and setting the hapless opponent on fire. Mandela was no George Washington.

This is the work of Obama's hero, the left's object of adoration.

Infamy

As the people of a prosperous, powerful nation, it is easy to think that the tomorrow will be as today - that we may eat, sleep and be merrily watching our large screen flat panel displays.   

As the people of a prosperous, powerful and immoral nation it is easy to think that God will not use a lesser nation to humiliate and humble us.

The events of September 9th and December 7th should be forever scarred into our national DNA. Instead, we allow vain, self-seeking politicians and their obedient media minions to lull us into a sense of false security.

God is not mocked.
God is not finished with us.

Learning From Other People's Mistakes

Chris Matthews gave President Obama's leg a good humping in their interview. I won't bother posting the interview here but you can see the bill that's going out from the White house.

Apparently Chris still needs to be house broken.

Affirmative Action Is Not The Only Nail In The Coffin

Some our our commentors have suggested, and rightfully so, that a significant proportion of police misconduct can be attributed to minority hiring quotas forced upon municipalities.

First,allow me to offer this article, "The Case Against Affirmative Action." Perhaps the most succinct judgement against affirmative action is voiced by the author at the end of his work,

"Martin Luther said that humanity is like a man mounting a horse who always tends to fall off on the other side of the horse. This seems to be the case with Affirmative Action. Attempting to redress the discriminatory iniquities of our history, our well-intentioned social engineers now engage in new forms of discriminatory iniquity and thereby think that they have successfully mounted the horse of racial harmony. They have only fallen off on the other side of the issue."

However, the question still remains as to whether or not various public agencies, such as the police, have suffered injury to personnel quality assurance issues through affirmative action.

I certainly believe so.

In fact I believe that the judges who have so arrogantly assumed the role of social engineers have not only fallen off the other side of the racial harmony horse, they then walked to the front of the animal and cut its throat. In this endeavor they were ably assisted by our nation's race pimps who applauded the loudest as the poor beast sank to its knees and wielded the sharpest knives as its carcass was cut up for dog food.

Let's take as an example the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department or MPD as reported in 1994 or thereabouts regarding the mentally incompetent female police officer hired by MPD. This was a person who would be in our school's "special" classes who supposedly passed a civil service test, graduated from a police academy and was issued a gun, which she then used to put a hole in her boyfriend. The black female was found to have an IQ below 75 and was therefore found mentally unfit to stand trial.

To gauge the effect of affirmative action one must not isolate it from the political system that created it; it is more than just affirmative action that gets these appalling people into our public service agencies. There are politicians, bureaucrats, professors, teachers, union officials, community organizers - literally a cast of tens of thousands who share in the destruction of what was once one of the world's finest civil service systems.

Nothing may better demonstrate the destructive power of bad law and corrupt politicians than the effect of the election of Marion Barry as Mayor of Washington, DC.  Indeed, to encounter a more gut-wrenching reversal of a municipality's fortunes one must to travel to Detroit. In either case, we are witnessing weapons grade stupidity, incompetence and malfeasance. To quote the National Review :

[...] In 1978, Barry was elected mayor. He had an animus against the police force, based not just on the jaywalking incident, but also on a perverse view of law enforcement in general. He viewed the police not as a force city politicians were supposed to improve and reinforce, but as an "occupation army" (as he once put it) that must be restrained. One of his top goals as mayor was to shrink the police department. Within eight years, he had chopped it down more than 25 percent, to 3,800 officers. The police force began to rot from within as well. Training virtually halted. Equipment problems became so severe that police cruisers used tires discarded by the Park Police. Many of the best officers grew demoralized and quit, and the mayor made sure they weren't replaced. He lorded over the police, insisting that he approve every promotion above the rank of captain. Choking on patronage, the department became a personal security force that facilitated Barry's own crimes (though these were eventually exposed). Most infuriating of all, from a law-enforcement standpoint, was how Barry reveled in this dubious achievement: The downfall of the police was marketed as uplift of the people. The only thing that went up, however, was the crime rate. Barry seemed unconcerned. "I'm not going to let murder be the gauge since we're not responsible for murders, can't stop the murders," he said in 1989.

Yes you can - New York City did. NYPD reduced their homicides from a high of 2,154 in 1991 to 419 last year.

What is far more difficult to stop is political corruption. Looking at the NR paragraph, what current administration comes to mind? What Marion Barry did on the local level, Obama is doing nation-wide.

Mook With A Badge

Stupid? Check...
Evil? Check...
Wearing a badge? Check...

Let's face it, we don't get our cops from a clone factory in Utah. Nope, our cops come from our neighborhoods, our schools, our communities. And as the standards for moral and civil conduct decline, so does the common stock from which we draw our public servants. Like this mook with a badge...

WASHINGTON D.C. - A seven-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department has been arrested and charged with production of child pornography after allegedly photographing a naked 15-year-old girl at a D.C. apartment, while he was on duty, and in uniform. After an investigation, Officer Marc Washington was taken into custody on Monday, shortly after allegations surfaced.

According to charging documents, Washington allegedly took photos of a 15-year-old girl while conducting an investigation into a missing persons report. He allegedly went over to the girl's house in Southeast Washington on Sunday night. Authorities say the girl had previously been reported missing and Washington claimed he needed pictures of her injuries despite the fact the girl said she had not been injured. Washington allegedly coerced her into stripping down naked, claiming he needed photos for identification purposes and that it was procedure.

Guess Who's Been Naughty?

Not The Crimson Tide She Expected

It was an amazing end, an unexpected conclusion to a hard fought contest. Then something like this had to happen...

Alabama fan shot dead outside football party because she said she didn't care Crimson Tide had lost to bitter rivals Auburn

An Alabama fan was shot dead after a fight outside a football-watching party shortly after the Crimson Tide lost in a stunning upset to the Auburn Tigers Saturday.

Michelle Shepherd was attacked by fellow fans of the University of Alabama after she commented that she didn't care that much that the team had lost, her sister says.

[...] Ms Shepherd, a mother of three and a career social worker from Birmingham, attended a party to watch the Iron Bowl with other Alabama fans in Hoover, Alabama with her sister Neketa Shepherd, Neketa told the Birmingham News.

Apparently another intoxicated female who was a "better" fan killed this young woman.

According to a recently published study , Planned Parenthood has a new name - a name that is verified by actual data from the world's largest abortion mill.

The Chinese examined the data regarding the incidence of breast cancer in woman who have undergone abortions. The results are terrifying.

[...] a meta-analysis pooling 36 studies from 14 provinces in China, showed that abortion increased the risk of breast cancer by 44% with one abortion, and 76% and 89% with two and three abortions.

This new article is another example of the recent excellent scholarship on abortion in peer-reviewed journals coming out of the People's Republic. There is no bigger data base than China, where there is an average of 8.2 million pregnancy terminations every year, and 40 abortions for every 100 live births. Chinese researchers and physicians are unencumbered by abortion politics, and do not cover up data showing long term effects of induced abortion, as do their US counterparts in governmental, professional and consumer organizations.

If any nation would support universal, unlimited abortions,it would be the Chinese. For decades the Chinese government has restricted families to one child.

UPDATE:
In 1979 the Chinese government instituted it's family planning policy of one childbirth per family. Since then, using liberal phraseology, the Chinese have "averted" over 200 million births. Every year the Chinese kill as many children as the entire population of New York City - about 8.2 million.
