the Texas youth who was briefly detained Sept. 14 when he brought a clock-like device that looked like a bomb in to school, met with Sudan's genocidal dictator Oct. 13.
That visit may prove embarrassing to President Barack Obama, whose science deputy personally invited the boy to an Oct. 19 science fair in the extended White House grounds.
Mohamed was invited to the White House after progressives and the media accepted and broadcast his claim that the arrest was prompted by unreasonable anti-Muslim and anti-African views supposedly prevalent among cops in Irving.
The boy's hug for the genocidal Muslim theocrat prompted much criticism among his progressive supporters.
[Weasel Zippers] A former Army vet is recovering from stab wounds after putting himself between 16 terrified children and a knife-wielding teen determined to kill at an Illinois public library this week.
"He actually ran into the room yelling, 'I'm going to kill some people!'" James Vernon told the Pekin Daily Times Thursday.
Vernon, 75-- a retired Caterpillar technology worker and Army vet--is recovering from surgery at his home in Morton, Illinois. He was leading a chess club meeting with local kids at the Morton library Tuesday afternoon when Dustin Brown, 19, burst into the room holding a knife in each hand and threatening the children.
"I failed my mission to kill everyone," Brown told police Thursday, according to a prosecutor's court affidavit that accompanied formal charges, including attempted murder.

Here at the Burg we try to keep our commentary witty and intellectual.
Mr. Vernon is a hero, of course. He probably never knew he was until it was called for. ("Army vet" can include unheroic jobs like finance clerk or veterinary specialist. Not everybody is combat arms or combat support.) I do admire him.
19-year-old Brown's life "sucked." My witty and intellectual commentary on him doesn't get any further than "stupid asshole."

Sorry, P2K. Knives are no match for an armed gestappo, so we will not get the knife control that we obviously desperately need.

You'd like to think anybody would have done it--except pajamaboi--but having signed the check made out to the USA for any amount up to and including my life seems to have a lasting effect.

Not to be outdone, Kalifornia Kommies will be trying to pass sweeping, even more constrictive gun laws, to include background checks for the sale of ammunition, licensing for possession of guns, and bans on weapons magazines of 11 rounds or more.
Gun control began seeping into presidential politics as leftist candidates, seeking to position the National Rifle Association against the rest of the country, called for universal background checks and limits on ammunition and magazine capacities, measures we now know will do little more than create more business for the "justice industry". Only last week we heard calls for outright bans from these same folks, but now that presidential politics are beginning, gun controllers will want to scale back their desire to rob and kill gun owners.
Personally, I think the man and his family were in desperate need of gun safety and tactical firearms training.
The Rooshuns, bless their dark souls, once donated a metal sculpture to the United Nations in New York with the inscription: "We beat our swords into plowshares." Not mentioned is the subsequent beating of plowshares back into swords.
Loads.

[France24] Polish prosecutors on Thursday opened a libel probe against a US historian after he claimed Poles killed more Jews than Germans during World War II.
Last month, German newspaper Die Welt ran an article by the Polish-born Princeton University professor Jan T. Gross in which he sought to explain Poland's wariness of accepting Syrian migrants streaming into Europe by referring to anti-Semitism during the war.
"The Poles, for example, were indeed rightfully proud of their society's resistance against the Nazis, but in fact did kill more Jews than Germans during the war," wrote the 68-year-old Jewish historian.
...Warsaw historian Andrzej Paczkowski told AFP "there are no reliable figures regarding the number of Jews killed by Poles and the number of Germans killed by Poles."
But Paczkowski, who is also a council member of the National Remembrance Institute (IPN) that is charged with investigating Nazi and Communist-era crimes, said he "would not be totally surprised if Gross were right". Nobody who studied the relevant history will be suprized.
"But his vision of things runs counter to the heroic image Poles have of themselves." Yea, well.

As far as the Nazis were concerned, both Slavs and Jews were Untermenschen, and therefore needed to be entirely wiped out. So they made sure there was not nearly enough food and fuel for the population, then let nature take its course.
#2
So, both Die Welt and France24 have grabbed onto the fact that a history professor accuses Poles of being innately evil as the reason they object to cooperating in their replacement by this Third World migration.
One possible outcome of this nonsense is a recreation of the Soviet empire as a willing self-defense pact against first the EU and then against the European caliphate.
#3
This is a great deal of silliness that needs to be put to bed.
Many Poles were anti-Semitic and were happy to loot the belonging of the just-executed Jews. However, the number of Jews executed by the Poles is in the low thousands, whereas the number executed by the Germans is in the millions.
The issue of Pole vs. Jew violence is that many Jews cooperated with the Soviets during the '39 - '41 occupation. When the Germans threw out the Russians, there was a settling of accounts.

So they could join either the EU or the Neo-Soviet/Iranian Axis. I think despite the beliefs of some here the latter choice is as antisemitic, and delusional, as the original Molotov-Ribbentroff Pact.
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: The federal government, on orders of the prime minister, on Friday issued a notification to form a five-member grievances redressal committee that will register and resolve concerns raised by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) related to the Rangers-led security operation in Karachi.
The notification says that the committee will hold its first session within 15 days and will “complete its work on the complaints within 90 days.”

[TheGuardian] --- When Scottish nurse Pauline Cafferkey was admitted back into the infectious diseases unit of the Royal Free hospital in London on 9 October, nine months after recovering from Ebola, and then became critically ill, all the previous assumptions about the long-term effects of this virus had to be torn up.
--- Jonathan Ball, professor of molecular virology at Nottingham University, is one of those who admits to real surprise. There are a lot of unknowns about Ebola, he said, "but I don't think anybody would for one minute have expected complications quite as serious as they certainly appear.
---- Doctors will now be on the alert for signs of long-term health problems in any of the western survivors. Unfortunately, the decimated health systems of west Africa are in no position to spot the danger signs among their many thousands of survivors.

Let me guess: If a reporter asks an expert for a forecast, and the expert declines, said reporter must locate another expert in time for the story deadline.

The penalties for refusing to knuckle under to the Obama administration by purchasing a health care plan under the Obamacare exchange have begun — and they’re not pretty.
An Indiana resident named Benjamin Miller announced on his Facebook page that the Internal Revenue Service, the enforcement body of Obamacare, just saddled him with a whopping $2,344 penalty, something the IRS euphemistically calls a “shared responsibility payment.”

Here's a suggestion to the Trunk wannabee prez contenders -
Amnesty! Shout it loud.
Why amnesty to foreigners who are and will cost American workers and taxpayers billions, but no amnesty to those very same workers and taxpayers? If the Donks can get away with the unenforcement of laws, so can anyone else. Make it so.
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.
