Armed Burglars Terrorize Chesco

Tom Flocco sent a link to a report that residents of Chester County have been the victim of armed daylight burglaries.

The perpetrators are as a man in his early 20’s with tattoos on his upper arms wearing a short sleeve shirt and denim cargo shorts; a man in his early 20’s with tattoos on his arms wearing similar clothing to the first suspect; and a man with dark hair and a grey bandana covering his face dressed in a light grey t-shirt and dark pants.

Those with information should call the Pennsylvania State Police Avondale Barracks at 610-268-2022.

Cruz Spanks Franken

Forty-nine Democrats in the U.S. Senate led by former Saturday Night Live comedy writer Al Franken of Minnesota have proposed a Constitutional amendment that would declare that First Amendment speech protection does not apply to corporations.

These brilliant (that’s sarcasm) thinkers in seeking to restrict speech just for those of whom they disapprove failed to account for the reality that just about all our news and entertainment outlets are corporations.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz spanks Franken et al as he points out that those who write and produce Saturday Night Live — which is the property of NBC which is owned by Philadelphia-based Comcast CORPORATION — could conceivably face jail time for their satirical sketches if this Democrat amendment should pass.

He does it in a rather presidential fashion too.

Here is the C-Span clip

Solar Storm Approaches

During the past two days, the Sun has had two bursts of radiation called a coronal mass ejections, or CMEs.

The one that was emitted Tuesday is supposed to arrive early tomorrow, Sept. 12, and create a G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm, according to the National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Center.

The one that was emitted Wednesday is expected to arrive arriving later in the day and combine with Tuesday’s CME hence creating a G3 (strong)  geomagnetic storm

The G3 storm watch will continue through Sept. 13 with G1 (minor) storming expected to occur into Sept. 14.

The authorities don’t seem to expect any problems that can’t be handled, however, and have not as of Thursday evening issued any advisories for the average citizen.

Obama Performance No Fireside Chat

Last evening the American people were yet again treated to a performance given by President Obama. His speech used the usual collection of patriotic catch phrases to win over the audience to his much anticipated “strategy” for ending the genocide in the middle east. It was not a strategy. It was a political check list. Consult with Congress, check. Consult with UN, check. Consult with military advisers, oops.

His robot-like persona struggled uncomfortably to use American euphemisms in the right context. Think Mork from Ork on meth. Thirteen years after September 11 he remains incapable of projecting an understanding of American culture and honor. If he’s got it, he’s doing a hell of a job of hiding it.

Note to constitutional professor: America is a republic. Mysteriously they didn’t teach that anywhere between the madrasah and Harvard. Pretty sure they taught it at one of Sarah Palins alma maters. Read the text in parcels; spare yourself the audio. Only so much pomposity and pretense can be digested at one sitting.

He’s no FDR. This was no fireside chat. It was a campaign promise. It was a gift for those Democrat incumbents struggling to hold on to their Senate seats in Novembers mid term elections. THIS is his priority. Avoiding telegraphing his punches to a deadly enemy for the safety and success of our military is not.

Its purposes were devoid of connection to the realistic needs of a REPUBLIC under threat. His dishonesty and duplicity were breathtaking;

“And our own safety, our own security, depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation and uphold the values that we stand for –- timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been vanquished from the Earth.”

versus

“It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.”

McCain Spanks Carney

Many conservatives hate Sen. John McCain, but, immigration issues aside, he’s always been someone I’ve kind of liked.

His first campaign stop after winning the 2008 Republican nomination,  may have been the Springfield (Pa) Country Club.  I went to write it up and take pictures. I was waved into the hall. Nobody bothered to ask for identification or check my briefcase.

I found a spot in the press section but McCain was too far away for my inexpensive digital camera so I imposed myself in the pool photographers section and and ended up maybe two feet from where the Senator was speaking.

I got some nasty comments from the pool photogs but again, nobody checked my ID, and no big guys hauled me out of there. I could have smacked McCain on his knee a dozen times.

Anyway, I always thought his attitude was gutsy and unpretentious and I didn’t feel bad about voting for him in the fall.

Which brings up the debate he had on CNN last night, Sept. 10, with former Obama press poodle Jay Carney after the President’s speech on dealing with the breakdown in Middle East.

McCain spanked Carney. He called him on the lies he was spewing and pointed out harshly how it was Obama himself that was responsible for the turmoil.

It was clearly something Carney was not used to. If the press did what McCain did last night the world would not be as dangerous today.

Of course, if McCain won in 2008 that would be just as true.

Here is the video. It’s kind of appropriate for Sept. 11.

Classy LeSean McCoy

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy went to PYT, a burger joint on North Hancock Street in Philadelphia  with some friends for lunch on Sept. 8.

The party was reportedly loud and rude and ended up leaving a 20 cent tip on a $61 check.

Rob Knelly, the lucky waiter, took a photo of the receipt and put it online for the world to see.

Classy LeSean McCoy

Was Knelly just a crappy waiter who deserved a bad tip? If it comes down to having to chose between a waiter and an NFL player as to whose word to accept, we think we’ll go with the waiter.

Frankly,  Knelly should just be grateful he didn’t serve the meal in an elevator.

McCoy’s comment on the matter to the Philadelphia Daily News was “It’s bull—-“.

Corbett Says Common Core Will End

Embattled Gov. Tom Corbett released a statement yesterday, Sept. 8, in which he called for public review of the Common Core plan being implemented in Pennsylvania.

“Though Common Core began as a state-led initiative to ensure our public schools met the educational standards needed in the 21st century economy, the process has been overly influenced by the federal government,” Corbett said.  “Common Core has become nothing more than a top-down takeover of the education system.  It is nothing more than Obamacare for education.”

The release says this is the “final phase in his nearly three year effort to permanently roll back” the plan, which it says was implemented by Ed Rendell.

Whatever.

We say better late than never.

We say you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind’s blowing.

And we guess we won’t feel bad about voting for him now.

In other election news, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf has edited out of his ads an endorsement by Washington County (Pa) attorney and former Common Please Court judicial candidate Alan Benyak after it was revealed he appeared as “Mr. Cannibal” in a movie called “Breeding Farm” which has been described as a “twisted porn” film.

There are descriptions of the movie available and of what Benyak does, but we think we will leave them out.

Those crazy Democrats. The entire party should be just put to sleep out of mercy. Mercy for the nation, that is.

Males Rape More Likely In Military

More than half the victims of sexual assault in the U.S. military are men, according to the Pentagon, and sexual assaults on males occur 38 times  a day in the services.

It should be noted that the perpetrators are invariably other men.

The premise of the gay rights movement is that those who desire same sex are born that way and have no interest in  relations with those who aren’t.

The premise obviously has severe holes. Strangely, pointing them out is harshly discouraged by our information gatekeepers. A young man expressing a concern about this, in fact, will face condemnation for being “homophobic.”

Well, it looks like the phobia has a pretty strong foundation.

GQ.com has a difficult to read article about male rape in the military.  The stories concern incidents before Obama changed the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy against the recommendation of many experts.

And further, most — albeit not all — of the stories concern peer-on-peer assaults rather than intimidation or coercion by commanders, which may be the biggest concern about those who object to the change in policy.

Still the long-accepted myth that is the basis of the gay rights movement should now be considered to be definitively debunked.
