Tax Dollars to Tout TSA

Homeland Security, Taxation, Terrorism, The State

The TSA terrorist who molested me looked nothing like this. But even if she had, she ought to have been cuffed for running her giant digits on my chest and between my legs. My thanks to BAB readers Michael Marks and wife for snapping and sending this along. In impetus, the image reminds me of this repulsive Lindt ad. I went cold turkey after viewing the lighthearted look Lindt took at two TSA agents looting and lusting with impunity.

“The Babe in the Bunker”

Ilana On Radio & TV, South-Africa

There is none so complex and politically charged an issue as the new South Africa. Cosseted American journalists, for the most, can’t and won’t deal with it honestly. (Unless they have an agenda.) Barbara Simpson is not a member of the pack.

I’ll be talking to my WND colleague, on KSFO, tomorrow, Saturday, December 10, @5:00 PM Pacific. Topic: Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa.

Read more about Ms. Simpson (who is also an experienced markswoman).

Rotten Rubio

“Marco Rubio vs. Rand Paul” is a column only Pat Buchanan could have written—the writing is “muscular” and spare and the analysis rooted in a deep understanding of history and Old-Right tradition (“… one of the great patriots of our time,” I had called Buchanan).

(See my take on the “We are all Georgians” McCain-coined mantra, mentioned in the “Marco Rubio vs. Rand Paul” column.)

Last week, Sen. Marco Rubio, rising star of the Republican right, on everyone’s short list for VP, called for a unanimous vote, without debate, on a resolution directing President Obama to accept Georgia’s plan for membership in NATO at the upcoming NATO summit in Chicago.
Rubio was pushing to have the U.S. Senate pressure Obama into fast-tracking Georgia into NATO, making Tbilisi an ally the United States would be obligated by treaty to go to war to defend.
Now it is impossible to believe a senator, not a year in office, dreamed this up himself. Some foreign agent of Scheunemann’s ilk had to have had a role in drafting it.
And for whose benefit is Rubio pushing to have his own countrymen committed to fight for a Georgia that, three years ago, started an unprovoked war with Russia? Who cooked up this scheme to involve Americans in future wars in the Caucasus that are none of our business?
The answer is unknown. What is known is the name of the senator who blocked it – Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, who alone stepped in and objected, defeating Rubio’s effort to get a unanimous vote.
The resolution was pulled. But these people will be back. They are indefatigable when it comes to finding ways to commit the blood of U.S. soldiers to their client regimes and ideological bedfellows.

A while back I had warned about Rubio, in “Neoconservative Kingpin Taps Ryan/Rubio.”

William Kristol was touting Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio as a 2012 presidential item. “If Kristol is this excited, it mus be at the promise of killing and carnage.
