Happy Friday! This & that.....





This essay was written following the Sandy Hook massacre, which demonstrated, conclusively, that we accepted the mass slaughter of children as acceptable collateral damage in the name of "freedom." After the latest atrocity, it needs to be read again, because again I am hearing, with nauseating frequency, an appeal to the need for citizens to be armed "because Tyranny!!!
" Americans maintain the belief that they will still be able to reform and/or defeat government on its soil using “The Second Amendment.” This clause of the Bill of Rights makes way for Americans to maintain armaments much in the same spirit of 1775, such that its citizens might once again rise up with muskets whenever necessary to Defeat Tyranny on Their Soil.
There is one major problem with this dangerously outdated assumption: the chasm between government weaponry and civilian weaponry is comically large. Like, from here to Venus large. So large that your defense of arming every schizophrenic and bipolar douchebag with AR-15s because you want to “prevent tyranny from taking root” is absurdly, ridiculously stupid."
2nd amendment absolutists? Just. Stop.
Vegas odds on handguns versus tanks and Apache helicopters are not good.

yes, yes, and yes. But we must explain to a very uneducated public that narcissism is a dangerous psychological disorder in which someone can function in normal life but still wreak havoc on others. People think of mental disorders that make you look funny, sad, or out of this world, a psychosis. They do not understand and have not read how many leaders have brought countries to ruin with this mental disorder, and how many people they fooled on their way to power. We must embrace each other as Americans, as people that have honest moral differences, and at the same time protect each other from manipulations by the disturbed.
According to a number of top U.S. psychologists, like Harvard professor and researcher Howard Gardner, Donald Trump is a “textbook” narcissist. In fact, he…

142 students killed in Kenya. Where’s the international outrage?

142 students killed in Kenya. Where’s the international outrage?



Earlier this month, Kenya was rocked with a terror attack that left 148 people dead. Of those, 142 were students.

The brutal massacre happened at Garissa University College in the eastern part of the country close to the porous Somali border.

Members of the Islamic extremist group Al-Shabab claimed responsibility — calling it revenge for Kenyan troops fighting Somali rebels in 2011. This same group gained international attention in 2013 when they brutally killed 67 people at the Westgate Shopping Mall in Nairobi.

At Garissa, a handful of militants stormed the campus. After separating Muslims from Christians, they killed the Christians execution style.

The New York Times called it the worst terror attack against the nation since 1998 when the US embassy was bombed in the capital. Yet, many felt the atrocity did not garner as much attention as other international terrorist attacks. The frustration played out on social media with tweets like this

Terrorism theorist Max Abrahms, from Northeastern University said there is no one explanation, but thinks there is an element of racism at play.

“In the Garissa University attack, both the perpetrator and the victims are black and that may help to explain why the international community paid relatively little attention,” he said. “Another explanation is I believe there is probably weak local media coverage within Kenya . We didn’t actually watch in real time and that’s different say than in the case of Charlie Hebdo. ”

The twelve French cartoonists were mourned from every corner of the globe in January. In that very same week, hundreds were massacred in the city of Baga in Nigeria. With little attention, Nigerians used the only tool that seemed effective — a hashtag — #JeSuisNigerian.

And now Kenyans, in hopes their loved ones will never be forgotten are sharing pictures of when the victims were alive using the hashtag “#147isnotjustanumber,” a reference to the initial victim count.

Since the attack, the Kenyan government vowed they will respond in the severest way possible. Last week they bombed two Al-Shabab training camps.

This & that.... Benghazi Lunacy. that 'well regulated militia' thing





Cindy: Momma pup thrown from a moving car.
It is unknown if she sustained her injuries from being thrown from the car at a high speed or if she was run over on purpose, according to some reports from the neighbors. We are horrified by the abuse and neglect that this poor girl has endured.
We are horrified by the information we were given by the shelter. When animal control arrived they found Cindy Lou in the street and literally screaming in pain.
Cindy- Lou is in desperate need of medical care and has been rushed into emergency care. The shelter also reports that she is full of milk, and that there has to be puppies somewhere who need their momma. We are just beside ourselves for the thought of the fate of her puppies looks grim right now. The shelter has sent another officer to scour the area for her babies. According to the shelter they know she already has 1 broken leg, and possible internal injuries. Time is of the essence to help this poor girl.
Please consider making a purchase to help save her! Let's fight for Cindy! She will know what it is to be loved and cherished... Our vow to her!

Trump’s Heartless Response To Oregon Shooting Proves He’s A Sociopath (VIDEO)

AUTHOR OCTOBER 2, 2015

In stark contrast to President Obama’s visible anger after the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, revealed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe his feelings on what occurred.
While Obama said, “thoughts and prayers are not enough,” Donald Trump literally said, “these things happen.”
Yes, you read that correctly.
When asked what he would do as president in regards to the horrific epidemic of mass shootings, Trump said:
“You’re always going to have problems. I mean, we have millions and millions of people, we have millions of sick people all over the world — it can happen all over the world, and it does happen all over the world, and it does happen all over the world, by the way, but this is sort of unique to this country, the school shootings. And you’re going to have difficulty no matter what… You’re going to have these things happen and it’s a horrible thing to behold, horrible… It’s not politically correct to say, but you’re going to have difficulty and that will be for the next million years, there’s going to be difficulty, and people are going to slip through the cracks.
After a bit more rambling he says:
“What are you going to do, institutionalize everybody?… That’s the way the world works, and that’s the way the world always has worked.”
So, do nothing? That’s Trump’s plan?
If he actually thought these massacres were as “horrible” as he says they are, he would advocate for change. However, he doesn’t, and it doesn’t look likes he plans on endorsing that sort of change any time soon. His responses are callous at best. He chooses to ignore the problem, because, hey, “these things happen.” That right there is the mind of a narcissistic sociopathic egomaniac. Someone who needs to stay as far away from being the leader of the free world as possible.
Ignoring reality because some folks adore their cold, inanimate firearms more than human life is a cop-out and wrong. In fact, Trump in his position on the Second Amendment reveals that he actually wants a national right to carry. So his solution? More guns. Just like the NRA and their pals in Congress. You know, because that solution has been working so well for us thus far.
Action needs to be taken, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later. The epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings is anything but American. It lessens our freedom, because it makes all Americans fearful of everywhere they go. However, the folks at the NRA love to drive that fear, because you know what fear sells — guns. And the more guns, the more fear and so on and so forth. The cycle needs to end now.

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
---The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories.
There were all the regular types of stuff: Spilled milk and pennies saved. But then the teacher realized, that only Janie was left.
"Janie, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mommy. She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then she parachuted right into the middle of 20 Iraqi troops........
She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
''Good Heavens, 'said the horrified teacher. What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story'?"
...."Don't Screw with Mommy when she's been drinking."
....I love these touching stories !!!

Tea Party Christians were jubilant when their most recent patron saint, the homophobic county clerk Kim Davis was apparently invited for a secret meeting with Pope Francis during his first official U.S. visit. They saw it as a vindication of her stance on same-sex marriage and an endorsement of the idiotic stunt she pulled when she was jailed for refusing to do her job and issue judge-ordered marriage licenses. Unfortunately, Davis and Ted Cruz will be severely disappointed, as the Vatican has come out denying her version of the story:
The brief meeting between Mrs. Kim Davis and Pope Francis at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC has continued to provoke comments and discussion. In order to contribute to an objective understanding of what transpired I am able to clarify the following points: Pope Francis met with several dozen persons who had been invited by the Nunciature to greet him as he prepared to leave Washington for New York City. Such brief greetings occur on all papal visits and are due to the Pope’s characteristic kindness and availability. The only real audience granted by the Pope at the Nunciature was with one of his former students and his family. The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects.
Pope Francis did not tell her to “stay strong” as Davis purports. The Pope did not know who Kim Davis was when the meeting occurred; a writer at Esquire believes it was a stunt organized by the papal nuncio, a supporter of the previous Pope. A senior official at the Vatican reports that there is a sense of regret about the meeting; they did not want to give the impression of endorsing Davis’ homophobia or her attention-seeking, self-imposed “martyrdom”.

The Pope actually met and embraced a gay couple he had previously worked with in Argentina before meeting Davis. While we should remember that the Holy Father isn’t quite the bastion of liberalism that we would like to believe, he is the most progressive pope we’ve had in some eighteen hundred years, and his refusal to be associated with the Kim Davis media circus should be taken as a condemnation of her bigotry.
