How (the NRA helped) a Secretive Branch of ISIS Build a Global Network of Killers that is

now infiltrating the USA


'Though dozens of Americans have become members of the Islamic State, and some have been recruited into the external operations wing, “they know it’s hard for them to get Americans into America” once they have traveled to Syria, he said.

“For America and Canada, it’s much easier for them to get them over the social network, because they say the Americans are dumb — they have open gun policies,” he said. “They say we can radicalize them easily, and if they have no prior record, they can buy guns, so we don’t need to have no contact man who has to provide guns for them.”'

This is a frightening but informative article. Rather devastating actually.

I don't even need to lend an editorial to this article. I'm just saying 'I told you so,' again and again and again.

On a side note, I had a very vehement discussion with a colleague some months ago about how Germany would be central to the infiltration of the EU by the psychotic terrorists. He's gob-smacked that I called that one.

I don't know what the solution is to this chaotic rise of the global collective of angry psychotics. The visual that keeps running in my head is that awesome scene in World War Z with the zombies hurling themselves over the wall in Jerusalem...

If the chink in the armor is social networks, then the social networks have to police themselves.... If the other chink in the armor is the ability for anyone in the USA to get a gun, then that has to be taken out of the equation also.

Unless someone has other bright ideas?

OMG the cutest Slow Loris, ever!

But he had his teeth ripped out so tourists could pose for selfies with him.

Breaking: Democrats Halt The Senate, Launch Filibuster For Gun Control

Source: Daily Buzz

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut stood up in front of the Senate just before noon and began what is going to be a “filibuster-style blockade.”

They have promised to not stop speaking until the government does something meaningful in regards to gun control.

Senator Murphy said: Newtown is still putting itself back together, probably will be for a long time. This is a different moment today than it was at the end of last week.

There is a newfound imperative for this body to find a way to come together and take action, to try to do our part to stem this epidemic of gun violence and in particular this epidemic of mass shootings.

There is a fundamental disconnect with the American people when these tragedies continue to occur and we just move forward with business as usual. So I’m going to remain on this floor until we get some signal, some sign that we can come together on these two measures, that we can get a path forward on addressing this epidemic in a meaningful bipartisan way.

These measures include: preventing suspected terrorists from legally acquiring guns, closing legal loopholes for gun sales at gun shows and on the internet, and increasing the level and depth of background checks for those interested in buying firearms.

To watch the filibuster live, visit NBC News.

The So-Called Restroom Debate. Guess what? It's NOT about trans-gender or boys or girls

or any other humans OTHER than the people, the politicians, who put this out to the public to vote for.

This is some GOP scum getting people all riled up to drive them to the polls to vote a GOP ticket.

It's the excuse, it's not the actual issue. They're using the issue to generate GOP votes.

This happens in every major election cycle. Remember THE big issue in the last election cycle?

'Gay' Marriage.'

It's a maneuver that works very well for politicians.

Just sayin'.

What do you think?

This makes me SO sad, an old elephant died of a heart attack while carrying tourists

in Cambodia.

It's not right, it's just not right. Humans HAVE to stop supporting all the horrific treatment of animals; circuses, Seaworld, all those things...

Sambo, an elephant who was between 40 and 45 years, died of exhaustion after transporting tourists for years on his back, Cambodia, reports “The Independent” . This old elephant had been working in a 40C (104 Fahrenheit) heat wave.

The animal died of a cardiac arrest while carrying tourists to Angkor temple.

A veterinarian who examined him found that the death of the elephant was “due to high temperatures, heat stroke and lack of wind, which could help cool it.”

Get This: Trump's Plane isn't Registered to Fly. 'Whoopsie'!


One of the private jets Donald Trump uses to travel while campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination is not registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, records show.

As the New York Times reported, the registration for the fixed-wing, multi-engine Cessna jet expired on Jan. 31 and hasn't been renewed. A FAA spokesperson also confirms that the plane’s registration had expired.
