A system of freight trains in Mexico known in Spanish as El tren de la muerte i.e. The Death Train also known as La Bestia or “The Beast” has entered the popular culture in points south with hit songs and documentaries.
The migrants, mostly from Central America, hop rides on the trains like the Great Depression hobos which takes them from Mexico’s southern border to our own.
The traffic is estimated at a half-million persons annually.
Here it is in action:
Democrats Pay Blacks Less
Democrats pay blacks less according to a study by New Organizing Institute.
Thirty percent less it should be noted.
Republicans don’t it seems.
Those who run the Democrat Party are users who despite all the preaching about equality and social justice are basically in it for themselves.
Their goal is to seek fermentation and division to prevent those who would otherwise unite on shared values from doing so and disrupting their gravy train.
The party has racist roots, and, yes, it has never left them.
Obama parties while world burns
Riots have erupted in the environs of St. Louis after police in the suburb of Ferguson shot and killed an unarmed black kid named Michael Brown.
Questions and even anger are appropriate but when passersby are attacked just because they can be attacked and stores are looted just because they can be looted, the matter of Mr. Brown’s death gets buried beneath more pressing matters of right and wrong.
Just about all those rioters, if they voted, voted for Barack Obama for president. It is not unreasonable to think that he can calm things down and stop the destruction of property belonging to innocent people not to mention assaults on those people
So where is he? Why he’s golfing on Martha’s Vineyard.
Bombs are falling on Iraq, Christians are being killed by Islamic progressives; unattended children are being pushed across the Mexican border; Russia is conspiring to invade Ukraine, and may have inadvertently shot down a Malaysian jetliner as part of the conspiracy; U.S. wages are down 23 percent and a deadly disease is threatening to engulf the world.
And he’s out golfing.
For two weeks.
Way to go hipsters.
Frozen Beats Thawed Regarding Steaks
Cooks Illustrated has found that it is better to cook your steak frozen — albeit it might take just a little longer — than thawed.
Frozen-cooked steaks lost least moisture and were more evenly cooked.
Cooking it frozen means you don’t have to remember to put it in the frig the night before so we can call it progress.
One caveat: make sure the steaks are frozen before being wrapped and bagged for long-term storage.
And so much for conventional wisdom.

Mike Iaconelli celebrating in the Delaware River Bass Paradise
Kudos to Mike Iaconelli of Pittsgrove, N.J. for winning this year’s four-day Bassmaster Elite Series fishing competition for the Delaware River.
Iaconelli took 47 pounds and 14 ounces of the fish from the river and tributaries in the event that ended Sunday, Aug. 10.
Iaconelli gets $100,000 and an instant qualification for the 2015 world championship, the Bassmaster Classic.
His prime spot was the mouth of Timber Creek in New Jersey. All his catch was largemouth bass.
He caught 80 percent of his fish on two lures: a half-founce, small-profile brown-purple finesse jig that he’s helping design for Missile Jigs; and 3/8 ounce Berkley Havoc Pit Boss that was green pumpkin and blue metalflake.
Jame O’Keefe of Project Veritas decided to see what all the fuss was about concerning the security of the Mexican border.
So he crossed it.
Dress as Osama Bin Laden.
He didn’t have any problems.

Pennsylvania OKs Tesla But Keeps Ban On Ford
SB 1409 allowing Tesla Motors of California to sell its hip electric cars directly to customers in Pennsylvania became Act 125 on July 9.
Today’s, Aug. 11, The Philadelphia Inquirer had a story praising the new law that amended the 1983 Board of Vehicles Act prohibiting car makers to sell directly to customers.
We think it’s great too, but why can’t Ford, GM, Toyota etc. have the same right?
Mark Gillen (R-128) who with Daryl Metcalfe (R-12) were the only nays in the State House wondered why Tesla gets this special privilege.
Good point Mark.
Gary Cobb Fights For Fathers
Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Gary Cobb is seeking the vacated Congressional seat long held by Rob Andrews in the staunchly Democrat 1st District of New Jersey.
He’s running as a Republican. Cobb, like many, started off as a D went to the GOP after watching how the policies of the Democrat Party destroyed African American families.
“(They were) an incentive for the man to leave the home, and it’s destroyed African-American families throughout the country,” he said.
“All my brothers and sisters have gone to college,” Cobb said. “The reason we were able to have some success was our dad was there, there was some discipline in the home.”
The 1st District includes Camden County and parts of Burlington and Gloucester counties..
He will face state Sen. Donald Norcross, who is brother of George Norcross, the one-percenter Democrat power broker who just lost control of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News.
The publications’ parent company, Interstate General Media, is now under the sole control of H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest, who bought out the shares of Lewis Katz following his death.
A private Google group called Gamechanger Salon set up by leftwing activist Billy Wimsatt has more than 1,000 members reports EAGnews.org
The members included a CNN contributor, two a U.S. News & World Report columnist and a producer for Al Jazeera American television.
The group’s existence was discovered by Media Trackers through an open records request filed with a University of Wisconsin professor who happened to be a member of the network.
What is discussed on the board is how to advance socialism through the media outlets entrusted to them.
It is proof positive of widespread dishonesty in the establishment media and that only a fool would trust it.

Michael Ledeen — a former consultant to the United States National Security Council, the United States Department of State, and the United States Department of Defense — has written at PJMedia.com that a theory has been seriously broached that the real target of the pro-Russian Ukrainian rebels who shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 was Aeroflot airline AFL2074 that was filled with Russian passengers.
He said the idea was cooked up by Vladimir Putin for use as a pretext for the invasion of the Ukraine.
