Wait, I think I have been trolled: #BringBackOurBrussels
I'll see that hashtag and raise you one #MakeTerroristEatBrusselSprouts
Or is that a crime worse than water boarding?
Tho I did hear on the radio this morning that Belgium estimates that 500 people from that country have gone to Syria. How many have returned?
How many more will die because of them? Sadly, I must place Belgium on my no-travel list for the time being.

It must be nice to work for the VA:
The VA is a place where people tend to somehow magically fail upward. By that I simply mean that workers at all levels can be caught up in any sort of malfeasance or incompetence and not only retain their jobs, but apparently profit from their actions. We’ve told you the story of the executive who ran her department into the ground and was punished with a plush gig in the Philippines. Then there was the Albany, New York administrator who was found to have drugs addicts on staff who were stealing the medication of the veterans and was fired, but somehow got her job back at full pay. And, of course, who could forget the Arizona VA chiefs who cooked up the scheme to keep veterans on phony waiting lists where some of them literally died without seeing a doctor, but will keep their positions with full pay and benefits for as much as two more years. But today we may finally have the story which tilts the pinball machine once and for all.
This one takes place down in Puerto Rico where one diligent VA worker found herself unable to report to work for an extended period of time. She was held up, you see, by an inconvenient inability to get a pass out of prison to make it into the office.
I'd say "welcome to the party, pal" but that's so passe:
That noted, the Paris attack seems to have been a sobering political watershed. French and Belgian governments now acknowledge the obvious: Islamist terrorists are waging war against them.
Since the Paris bloodletting, Western European security forces have become noticeably aggressive. French and Belgian police have conducted several raids where suspected ISIS terrorists were either killed or arrested, and done so with enough frequency to indicate intelligence services have identified ISIS support networks in France, Belgium and Holland.
Police have been quick to execute follow-up operations. French authorities reported that four people -- duly described as radical Islamists -- were arrested March 16 for allegedly helping plot the Paris attack. The arrests followed a police raid on a house in Brussels in which two terror suspects were slain.
Sounds to me like the NUS feminists are bitter because they aren't getting any penetration from the good-looking gay guys.

Heinlein was ahead of his time:
So in Stranger In A Strange Land, we have the institution of the Fair Witness, people who are trained and sworn to observe and report accurately, because images and recordings are so easy to doctor.

Probably just frustrated because the only penetration they're getting are from beta males pretending to be feminists. Deep down the wymyn know that those linguine spined betas just aren't cutting it.
Also, lack of actual orgasms.
I'm old enough to know to steer clear of wymyn. Tho as Beavis (or was it Butthead?) observed "dumb chicks = easy chicks" because they couldn't spell women...

Hashtag foreign policy strikes again.
"Obama said the way to defeat ISIS is reminding them 'you are not strong, you are weak.'"
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were not existential threat to us either, but they were an existential threat to peace as well as to several allies. FDR did not mince words when dealing with them.

The "leading from behind" president loses another left-wing fan.
America has a demob[ilization] happy President Obama eking out his last few months in office. A man whose infamous ‘leading from behind’ philosophy to foreign policy has been partly responsible for the war in Syria raging uncontrollably for five years – allowing fundamentalism to ferment.
Obama has zero interest in doing anything tangible to really deal with ISIS. This is now parked in the tray marked ‘next president’s problem.’
Europe, meanwhile, is splintering at the seams, ravaged by an unprecedented migration crisis that nobody seems to have a clue how to handle.
AND
I spoke to Trump for 40 minutes. He was, as you’d expect, bombastic, defiant and self-congratulatory. Why wouldn’t he be? He’s ripped up every political rulebook to take this presidential race by storm, a scenario that is hardly going to deflate the ego of New York’s most cock-sure billionaire tycoon.
But he also spoke in more detail about his plans to combat ISIS and I found myself nodding more than I expected.
AND
I didn’t feel I was talking to a lunatic, as many seem to view Trump.

One of Richard Nixon's top advisers and a key figure in the Watergate scandal said the war on drugs was created as a political tool to fight blacks and hippies....
Whaddaya know, the War on Drugs was a partial success. The hippies got off drugs, got jobs on Wall Street, and bought BMWs.
Okay, here we go.
