I think ISLAM is the disease that needs to be quarantined and eradicated. Until we do that, the idjits that adhere to it will continue to kill, maim, and mangle everyone else, and even many of their own. What a disgusting pile of camel dung masquerading as a religion...

[DAWN] We have dreaded this, but knew it may happen one day. An armed assailant attacked the Canadian Parliament and other sites in Ottawa, Canada's capital. Killing one soldier; and injuring at least three others.
The attacker, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, was a "high risk" suspect whose passport had been confiscated. He was also a Canadian convert to Islam.
Only this week, a newly converted Canadian Moslem killed a soldier in Quebec and hurt another.

If you don't defend the border then you have to defend all the inside.
Multiculturalism is a failure.

How deeply are they rooted in the U.S.? The open border to our south makes it very easy to infiltrate this country thanks to this bunch of adolescent idiots in Washington who gained control of Washington in 2008 (sarc).
[PJMedia] Only eight days ago, October 15, I wrote a piece asking "Could It Possibly Get Any Worse?" Although I was only half-serious and thought I was just being intentionally hyperbolic, it already did!
Today, in my birth city of New York, within hours of each other, we had a doctor come down with Ebola and another quasi-Islamo-lunatic bash a cop in the head with a hatchet, only a day after a similar event in Canada.
The most amazing part of the cop attack was, at approximately 7PM West Coast time, after millions of people had been hearing about it on cable television for hours, according to Ed Henry on Fox, an administration spokesperson didn’t even know it had happened. They're probably waiting to make sure it’s "workplace violence."
Plan for the worst and hope for the best is a good way to take it. Unfortunately our inept government is planning for the best and hoping you don't notice when the worst comes.
[ASPENTIMES] It's been an October of surprises. As U.S. health officials' mistake-riddled handling of the deadly Ebola virus topped newscasts, the Denver Post editorial board captured headlines for its denunciation of Sen. Mark Udall's campaign tactics, helping subdue the fevered politics that's plagued us.
Insisting that Udall -- dubbed "Mark Uterus" -- Think Again about his fixation on gynecological issues while "a great deal is at stake," the Post's endorsement of challenger Cory Gardner injected truth serum into a poisonously dishonest election season.
Noting Udall's lack of leadership in Washington and his "obnoxious one-issue campaign" in Colorado, the Post contends that "Udall is trying to frighten voters rather than inspire them with a hopeful vision." As if inoculating himself from scrutiny, the Post notes, Udall has spent a "shocking amount of energy and money ... to convince voters that Gardner seeks to outlaw birth control despite the congressman's call for over-the-counter sales of contraceptives."
The Post's rebuke may not be a cure-all for mindless and dispiriting "War on Women" sloganeering, but it's healthy if it incentivizes politicians such as Udall to address constituents' real preoccupations and priorities.

"Udall is trying to frighten voters rather than inspire them with a hopeful vision."
The sugar plum dreams of "Hope and Change" are not the tools of an incumbent. Once you are in office, you must learn to use fear and distraction.
[DAWN] IN the end, one half of the dharna double-header ended in timid retreat, with a predictable final round of grandiose claims by Allama Sahib. For his part Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight... on the same day announced he would stick it out till the bitter end.
It was always going to be a case of when the Constitution Avenue campers would give up rather than if. The real-time manipulations of live television could not ultimately secure the epic victory the self-proclaimed revolutionaries had predicted.

[DAWN] ONE day, one quiet provincial capital, three violent incidents -- Quetta in particular, and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... in general, appear to be slipping back towards outright anarchy and the state seems utterly clueless and impotent. Start with the attack on the Shia Hazara community. With the majority of Hazaras settled in one particular zone in Quetta and the community under sustained and deadly threat, the law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus in the quiet provincial capital ought surely to be able to do better to protect the community. Yet, whatever measures were taken in the wake of the devastating bombings in early 2013 on the Hazara community have clearly proved inadequate. If preventing a drive-by shooting of a bus is fiendishly difficult, far more obvious is the failure to follow up on intelligence reports suggesting that Quetta is infested with sectarian holy warriors with an explicit agenda of attacking the Hazaras. All that ever seems to happen is after each terrible crime against the Hazaras, the law-enforcement and intelligence agencies briefly go into overdrive, raiding suspected terrorist hideouts, arresting people, etc before slipping back into complacency until the next hideous attack, when the cycle is repeated all over again.
Of course, if failure to defend a shocking vulnerable and under-siege community were not bad enough, the law-enforcement apparatus led by the paramilitary Frontier Corps was unable to even defend its own soldiers in a roadside kabooming in Quetta yesterday. Again, no counterterrorism system can be perfect and some attacks in a state of insurgency are inevitable, but that only underscores the wider point: whatever the army-led security establishment has done to counter terrorism and insurgency in the province over the past decade has not worked -- indeed, is not working. To add to that already chaotic scene came a third attack, this time on Fazlur Rehman in the evening. There are obvious possibilities for who can and would want to attack the JUI-F chief, including an unverified early claim of responsibility last evening, and those possibilities suggest that yesterday's attack could have ramifications far beyond Quetta, given the maulana's political base in southern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... and his party's presence in parts of Fata. What is also clear is that across the spectrum of the country's politicianship, there are very real and disturbing threats to the lives of politicians for any number of reasons.
Returning to Quetta, however, the signs are ominous. The attack against the Hazaras and the JUI-F chief in particular come in the run-up to Muharram, when security worries and religious sensitivities tend to spike. The first priority of the provincial and federal governments and the law-enforcement and security apparatus should be to urgently reassess any and all plans for keeping the peace in Quetta in the uniquely challenging weeks ahead. Else, the forgotten problems of Quetta could burn right through to the front of the national stage.

[DAWN] ONE preached revolution, the other freedom. But their basic cause was common: the overthrow of the Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... -led PML-N government. Now Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... has lost a critical partner, Tahirul Qadri

That's the message from Jeffrey Gundlach, the star bond investor who predicts oil will plunge another $10 (it's $80 a barrel now).
While another decline in oil prices would bring smiles to American consumers -- think around $2.70 a gallon at the pump as a national average -- it could spell trouble for the boom in shale projects boosting the U.S. economy.
"I think it's going to $70 and if it does, it's bye, bye fracking. Goodbye all of the great job creation from fracking because fracking becomes too expensive if you can buy oil at $70 a barrel," Gundlach said on Wednesday at ETF.com's Inside Fixed Income Conference.

I'm not just talking about the script...that is bad enough, the 12345 skit was so forcibly contrived after so much miming I actually laughed out loud, but the overproduction, overacting, and skippy editing puts the whole deal at about junior high media club.

Only a severely infantilized mind could find this video to be anything other than a gross abuse - children scripted to disseminate debunked untruths in attempt to generate income for a cesspool of faux social justice warriors. Which means of course, the creators had their audience pegged to a T. The child like squealing over this video by otherwise "adult" some women and men has been as shrill as it has been nauseating

children scripted to disseminate debunked untruths
With enrollment data now available for the second quarter of 2014, it is possible to construct a complete picture of the changes in health insurance coverage that occurred during the initial implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly known as Obamacare. The data show that in the first half of 2014, private health insurance enrollment increased by a net of 2,465,586 individuals. That net figure reflects the fact that 61 percent of the gain in individual coverage was offset by a drop in employer group coverage. During the same period, Medicaid enrollment grew by 6,072,651 individuals. Thus, while a total of 8.5 million individuals gained coverage, 71 percent of that net coverage gain was attributable to the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid to able-bodied, working-age adults
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
The meltdown in the oil market is not over yet.
