From the Jeruselum Post–
On Friday President Barack Hussein Obama informed the US Congress that he intended to sell 125 M-1A1 Abrams Tanks to the Egyptian Military.
Say WHAT??? OF course it’s done on FRIDAY so it’ll be out of the news cycle by Monday (and ignored by the MSM anyway)…
Lindh wants group prayers–
Taliban John Walker Lindh is expected to testify in Indiana lawsuit that challenges limits placed on group prayer among Muslims. Inmates in the unit are allowed to have group prayers once a week. Lindh says that violates his religion’s requirement that they pray together daily.
HELLO, you’re in PRISON you don’t get everything you want… And there is a little thing called ‘security’ that is the over-riding concern, not your ‘group’ prayers…
Who shot who? The police of course–
All nine people wounded during a dramatic confrontation between police and a gunman outside the Empire State Building were struck by bullets fired by the two officers, police said Saturday, citing ballistics evidence.
In other news, ‘apparently’ NYPD only fires about 200 rounds a YEAR for training and qualifications, and they ‘apparently’ only have to score in the 70% range to ‘qualify’… One MORE reason NOT to visit NYC (or the whole damn state for that matter)…
TSA at Paul Ryan Event–
The latest example of this kind of activity occurred at an event organized by Mitt Romney’s GOP running mate Paul Ryan this past weekend in The Villages, Florida.
The Shark Tank blog reports that TSA officers showed up alongside Secret Service and the local Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, and proceeded to do what they do like no one else does.
When you ‘add up’ all the ‘outreach’ TSA is doing, it really starts raising a lot of questions (at least in MY mind), about what the real goal is… And under who’s authority are they out there???
From a teacher in the Nashville area.
“We are worried about ‘the cow’ when it is all about the ‘Ice Cream.’
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided that we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.
The day for their speeches arrived. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down. Olivia’s speech was concise. She said, “If you vote for me, I will give you ice cream.” And then she sat down. The class went wild. “Yes! Yes! We want ice cream.” She surely would say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn’t sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn’t know. The class really didn’t care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.
Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they’re going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess. This is the ice cream Obama promised us!
This stuff IS coming here if we’re not careful and actually get control of our government back…

200 rounds a year???? I’m already well over 200 rounds and I’ve been shooting for only a few months. What ever happened to the whole idea of “practice makes perfect”?
And that practice should be with their service weapon, otherwise it’s like they are a new shooter everytime —
A 125 FU#*@NG M1 TANKS?!?!?!?!? WTF OVER????? MAN IS OUTTA HIS FRICKIN’ MIND!!!!!
Kids election – our future is in such great hands!!!!!
NYC Cops – suprised they even have range times at all – guns are banned in NYC you know . . . . .
I think that with Syria, Iran, and North Korea rattling sabers, we might need to look at bringing the draft back. We can only send our troops into harms way so many times. Talk about ‘burnout’. But I’m not crazy about our guys going up against our own tanks and guns. BHO seems to support any nation who hates the US. He’s the one who has to go.
ice cream … priceless…
On Friday President Barack Hussein Obama informed the US Congress that he intended to sell 125 M-1A1 Abrams Tanks to the Egyptian Military.
Now THAT is very disturbing. I’m sure that he’s arranging for them to take delivery before he leaves office.
Abrams to Egypt? YGTBSM!
I’ll assume that BHO wants a “fair” fight between the Arabs and Israelis. He’s all about fairness.
I surprised Holder and Napalitano didn’t send the Black Panthers to screen the Ryan event.

RE Abrams: Go ahead, White House. Tell me that you’ve got Israel’s Back. Go Ahead, say it when you’ve decided to give the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD 125 ABRAMS!
If I was Netenyahu, I’d tell that “Anointed One” to Pack about 20 Tons of Sinai Sand, and I’d be hitting the Iranians one hour before the First Debate.
What’s worse is the fact that he “Informed Congress,” AFTER they shut down for their Summer Vacation.
Just like he INFORMED them by a Letter dropped into a Mail Box that he was Bombing Libya.
I swear to God, if Harry Reid and the Senate Democommies weren’t covering his Ass, he’d been Impeached and Arrested and sent to Leavenworth by now!
The “200 rounds per year” deal surprises me, in that – given their record of inaccuracy – I’m surprised it’s THAT much ammo.
Re: the free ice cream, NO surprise there. We already knew that about half of the population just wants some Obama money, from his stash.
Googled the Abrams deal.
Seems we had 30 days to protest 40 days ago.
Can’t find what’s happening now.
200 rounds a year with 8lb trigger. No wonder they can’t hit a damn thing.
Joey- YEP!!!
eia- Concur with all!
CP- Agreed!
Tim- 🙂 or 🙁
LL/WSF/Gerry- Probably, so Israel will be fighting an equal rather than T-72s. NOT a good situation!
Les- Yep, he’s going AROUND congress…
Rev- True!
Ed- He’s trying his damnest to slip this one by…
Andy- 8lb? I thought they had the 12lb triggers!
Wow.
Not a peep from MSM.
Finally found a good article buried in defenseindustrydaily.com
A deal we made with Mubarak years ago in the Camp David Accords, and now we’re continuing to fork over after the new regime (the one threatening Israel)has taken over.
How much you want to bet this turns into a “job creation” talking point?
It’s a mad world.
