CRIME
PARKING TICKETS ISSUED TO CARS DESTROYED IN VIOLENT SWEDEN RIOTS — CONSERVATIVE SITE POSTS PROOF
May. 27, 2013 7:45am Sharona Schwartz

*** begin quote ***

For the past week, immigrant youths rioted in Sweden. Riots that included the breaking of windows, rock-throwing at police, destruction of property and burning of cars. Swedish police tell the Associated Press that some 220 crimes were reported to them during the violent rampage.

But instead of cracking down on the perpetrators, authorities were busy issuing parking tickets on cars that were burned by the rioters. The conservative Swedish news site Fria Tider reports that owners of some cars destroyed in the riots were fined for parking illegally, while the Swedish police force described a low-key approach to the rioters themselves. Its reporter caught a parking enforcer in the act of issuing a ticket, and shot a photo, published above the headline “Parking Tickets Issued on Wrecks While Stockholm Burns.”

If I could share 500 words to inspire, this is the important wisdom I’d want to pass along to others…

It’s easy to tell others to take risks. It’s harder to live by that rule, especially if you’re wise enough to consider the consequences. Have faith. Take a leap and trust that someone will catch you.

Weigh your choices.

Don’t hesitate to give to a stranger but don’t give everything away.

Be who you are. Everybody else is taken

*** end quote ***

I’m not sure that you can “weigh” choices?

I used to think that way. Even had software, later spreadsheets, later mind maps, all to define the “choosing process”.

Some decisions turned out well; others poorly. It really had little to do with anything.

Like watching poker on TV. The best decision can work out poorly based on luck.

So, like the poker pro, you try to play the odds as best you can and roll with the punches.

A lot of the results depend upon “luck”.

There are really no “wrong” decisions.

Argh! Life is hard and then you die.

RANT: Memorial Day movies

Interesting the “war movies” on TCM and ACM …

… maybe when I was a yute this propaganda would work. 

Now I’m much more of a skeptic!

RANT: Memorial Day?

Monday, May 27, 2013

On today, one has to wonder what the Clovers and Sheeple really think.

When we have “Wounded Warriors” on TV begging for 19 bucks a month for aid to the returning WIA … …

When we have a confused unwinnable mission … …

When we have a citizenry uninvolved in the mission … …

When we have not fulfilled the conditions for a “Just War” … …

When we have girls and boys in Harm’s way and it’s ignored … …

… then you have to question just how “grateful” the Nation is!

GUNS: Evidence for Confiscation

Evidence for Confiscation: 5 Examples That Show the Threat Is Real

by S.H. Blannelberry
Guns.com

*** begin quote ***

Gun control activists do not want to confiscate our guns. Really. Just trust them about it. They don’t. Instead, they just want to pass simple, common sense and reasonable gun laws that have nothing to do with confiscating lawfully owned property. Trust them. They really, really don’t want to take our guns. Really.

As President Barack Obama said on the campaign trail in 2008, “I believe in the Second Amendment. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away … But I am not going to take your guns away. So if you want to find an excuse not to vote for me, don’t use that one because it just ain’t true. It ain’t true.”

See, it just ain’t true, like the President said. No lawmaker or politician will propose legislation that will confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens. Really. In fact, every gun control supporter is a huge fan of the right to keep and bear arms. Really.

*** and ***

1. Dianne Feinstein: “Dry up the supply”

2. NY SAFE Act

3. California’s Confiscation Task Force

4. New Jersey Lawmakers: “Confiscation, Confiscation, Confiscation”

5. Missouri/Minnesota Bill

*** end quote ***

It’s all about “control” of the Clovers and Sheeple.

http://jpfo.org/

JPFO has a few great articles about the Genocide / Shoah came after “gun control” to make everyone safe. And, the racist origins of “gun control” in the South; the KKK didn’t want anyone who could shoot back!

Argh!

How stupid are we?

5 Obnoxious Things Restaurants Need to Stop Doing
By: Felix Clay May 19, 2013

*** begin quote ***

#1. No Substitutions

*** and ***

Any decent restaurant should allow you to make requests above and beyond the menu. Most restaurants do, in fact. But not all. Some ballsy restaurant owners always seem to pop up here and there to test the waters of human tolerance with their “no substitutions,” insinuating that you ordering food is somehow an inconvenience to them and you better take what you can get with a smile and a 15 percent mandatory tip. So when you want to order the shrimp alfredo but without any garlic because your garlic allergy may causes your eyes to bulge out Total Recall style, you should be allowed to. But this helpful restaurant refuses to alter their menu in any way.

*** end quote ***

My pet peeve is to be ignored.

I think every restaurant should have a flag on the table. Put it up and you want attention.

Sad that your restaurant would need such, but most of them do!

Argh!

Speaking of gun control, here is the end result of disarming honest men and women: Blood on his hands, hatred in his eyes: 2.30 pm on a suburban high street, Islamic fanatics wielding meat cleavers butcher a British soldier… As we say here in the States: “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.” In this case, it was 14 minutes after the first 999 call. A lot can happen in 14 minutes. There is no substitute for an armed citizenry.)

POLITICAL: WHERE OBAMA WAS DURING BENGHAZI ATTACKS is very relevant

WH: ‘IRRELEVANT’ WHERE OBAMA WAS DURING BENGHAZI ATTACKS

by BEN SHAPIRO 19 May 2013, 7:29 AM PDT 283

*** begin quote ***

On Fox News Sunday this morning, White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer was asked by Chris Wallace where in the White House President Obama was during the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans. “Question,” asked Wallace. “What did the President do the rest of that night to pursue Benghazi?” Pfeiffer answered, “Look, the President was kept up to date on this as it was happening the entire night, from the moment it started until the very end …. I recognize that there’s a series of conspiracy theories Republicans have been spinning about it since the time it happened.” He then added, “The question here is not what happened that night.”

*** end quote ***

So where was he?

We have pics of him in the room when the raid on OBL was happening. 

What was more important?

Remember the Hillary commercial about the red phone ringing unanswered at night.

I think they nailed it!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The IRS is bad but was it to cover Benghazi-gate?

BUSINESS
THESE ARE THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS FROM TODAY’S IRS HEARING
May. 17, 2013 8:16pm Becket Adams

*** begin quote ***

Ousted Internal Revenue Service’s interim head Steven Miller appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee Friday to testify on his agency’s targeting of conservative groups.

And although a slightly bored-looking Miller spent most of the four-hour interrogation doing his best U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder impersonation (i.e. playing the “I don’t know” game), some important facts came to light today.

Here are the top four most important takeaways from Friday’s hearing [in no particular order]:

4. PLANT CONFIRMATION

3. TREASURY KNEW ABOUT THE AUDIT DURING THE 2012 ELECTION

2. MORE INVESTIGATIONS ARE ON THE WAY

1. WHY DIDN’T IRS OFFICIALS SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS EARLIER?

*** end quote ***

So, they used the IRS to swing the election!

What was going on in all the other agencies?
