Revised WH statement expected momentarily

"If I had a son he'd look like... he was messing around with guns and drugs."

George Zimmermans defense attorneys have released photos and text messages from 17-year-old Trayvon Martins cell phone.

Ask an Islamic "preacher"

When I hear the word preacher, I think Billy Graham... or Martin Luther King. I can't imagine either of them condoning cold-blooded, premeditated slaughter... unlike, say... Anjem Choudary.

"I last saw him in 2011, he was a very nice man with impeccable character and nothing unusual about him. What he did was unusual and it's not the kind of view that I propagate and I do not condone the use of violence, but those views are out there."

"Some members of the Muslim community struggle to express themselves and he is making his voice heard in blood.""

So who, in this mans opinion, are the real culprits?

"If you want to condemn anyone it's the British government, this is one death but if you add up the number of people killed and tortured by the British government it is in the millions."

Who exactly is this man defending? Meet Mikey.

Michael Adebolajo, 28, and his unnamed accomplice are believed to have knocked off duty Drummer Lee Rigby down with a Vauxhall Tigra as he walked back to the Woolwich Barracks at 2.20pm yesterday, crushing his body against a road sign.

Witnesses said the terror suspects then "hacked and chopped" at his body like "crazed animals", before dragging his corpse into the middle of the road leaving a trail of blood.

As they apparently tried to decapitate him they were chanting "Allah Akbar!" – an Islamic phrase meaning "God is great" - and yelling "this is what God would have wanted".

That's one bloodthirsty deity.

Of course, the government does bear some responsibility here...

Government sources confirmed that the names of both suspects were on a list maintained by the security services, but stressed it was unclear what level of surveillance they were under.

Given the twenty minute police response time, I'm gonna venture it was sweet f@%# all.

Remember citizens... in the final analysis, you have to defend yourself and your family.

Somewhere, Lloyd Axworthy...

...is laughing his ass off.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird takes a stand against tinpot African dictator muscling folks here in Canada...

“We have made our position on this matter to the Eritreans clear, and we expect that to be respected. The government of Eritrea should not test our resolve on this matter.”

African regime replies... "kiss my ass"...

Semere O. Micael, the Eritrean consul in Toronto said Friday his government would continue collecting what some call an “extortion tax”.

I'm gonna call that one "resolve tested".

Hey, Mr. B., that "soft power" thang... how's that workin' for ya?

Sure hope the CBC...

...is chasing down Justin Trudeau for a juicy "root causes" soundbite...

"These two guys were crazed. They were just animals. They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there," he told LBC radio.

He said after the "horrendous" attack, the two men, who were also in their 20s, stood around, waving knives and a gun, and asked people to take pictures of them "as if they wanted to be on TV or something".

Lest there be any doubt about motive...

Senior Whitehall sources have told the BBC that the Woolwich attackers are thought to have tried to film their attack whilst shouting "Allahu Akbar".

The attack is being described in the media as "a beheading"... in south-east London.

**********

UPDATE: Yeah, the blood-soaked hands...

...kinda gave it away...

Prime Minister David Cameron has said there are strong indications the attack was terror related. London's Mayor has said it is too soon to draw conclusions.

Hey guys... I think I may have found a clue.

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you."

It can happen in London... it can happen anywhere.

Meanwhile, a short distance across the English Channel...

STOCKHOLM - Hundreds of "YOUTHS" set fire to cars and attacked police and rescue services in suburbs of Stockholm Tuesday night in Sweden's worst disorder in years.

A police station in the Jakobsberg area in the northwest of the city was attacked, two schools were damaged and an arts and crafts center was set ablaze, despite a call for calm from Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.

It was the third night of unrest, mainly in suburbs where many immigrants live.

Ah, yes... those mysterious "YOUTHS" and their "UNREST". Sleep tight, folks.

LAST WORD: It's probably just a coincidence...

...ask France.

THANK YOU COMMENT MODERATION:

Lemme see... a spate of name-calling, an attack on George Bush, a jihadi impersonation... and some unashamed Trudeau asskissing. Poor little nonny, under his various personalities, really blew a gasket tonight.

I miss critical thought.

..."I did not have sex with that woman" news...

"I have not done anything wrong," she said. "I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations. And I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee."

Lerner adds that she invoke her 5th Amendment right and "will not answer any of the questions or testify today."

Ah, well... let the underbussing commence...

Miller expressed regret for the agency’s decision to use a planted question to go public with the IRS’ practice of singling out conservative groups.

It was one in a series of missteps that have not only publicly marred the reputation of the IRS, but also called into question what the White House knew about the scandal and when they knew it.

**********

UPDATE: Obama knew all about it...

...before the election...

On May 3, 2012. Marks gave what IRS officials described as a “presentation” to Miller describing her findings. Marks said the investigation had found significant problems in the review process and a substantial bias against conservative groups, Ahmad said. No written findings were produced as a result, the aide said, and it does not appear the internal review led to any disciplinary actions against IRS employees.

Remember, Barry... it's the cover-up that kills ya.

Racketeering 101

Rule number one... when expediently diming out the bad guys, try not to place yourself at the center of the criminal conspiracy...Rule two... don't wait a couple of decades to come clean...

Montreal's La Presse newspaper reported that NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair told police he suspected there was money inside an envelope that appeared during the meeting, but he didn't accept the envelope and cut the meeting short.

Asked about the discrepancy, NDP MP Charlie Angus tried to bring the issue back to what Prime Minister Stephen Harper knew about the payment made to Duffy.

Angus didn't offer any reasons why Mulcair waited 17 years to speak to police if there was some suspicion about a failed attempt to bribe him in 1994.

Surprise, surprise.

Don't blame me...

...I didn't vote for him...

UPDATE: The plot thickens

The former diplomat who spoke with PJ Media regarded the whole enterprise as totally amateurish and likened it to the Mike Nichols film Charlie Wilson's War about a clueless congressman who supplies Stingers to the Afghan guerrillas. "It's as if Hillary and the others just watched that movie and said 'Hey, let's do that!'" the diplomat said.

Hope, change... and amateurs. A deadly combination.

"Just think. This is the scandal that was put in the window as a distraction from Benghazi. This is impeachable all on its own."

"If THIS is the distraction, what is lurking at the core of Benghazi?"

Indeed.

With Elizabeth May and Margaret Atwood...

...at the helm... how could this possibly fail?

TORONTO - "A group of actors, writers and politicians is calling on Canada's government to change the name of Victoria Day to honour Canada's First Nations communities as well as the monarchy."

Forget about existing Canadian history... we're turning Turtle Island.

"When history & tradition become irrelevant, that is when people become lost."

Thank Lizzie May & Robo-Atwood.

Bright lights, big city

Let the Victoria Day holiday body count begin...

A long weekend barbecue turned bloody after a 35-year-old man was shot dead at an apartment building in the Ossington Ave.-Dundas St. W. area.

Quincy Ramirez was fatally shot at least once in the chest around 7:40 p.m. on Sunday.

A 67-year-old building resident, Edwin Parkinson, was arrested.

This one is actually notable because it is not gang-related.

If you build it... they will come...

...and come, and come...

Palinkas also notes that under the current law and system, USCIS reports a 99.5 percent approval rating for ILLEGAL immigrants seeking legal residency inside the United States. He said that high percentage began with President Obama’s and Secretary Napolitano’s new “deferred action” policy unveiled last summer.

In addition, over the past year, Palinkas said USCIS has waived more than $200 million in fees from ILLEGAL immigrants seeking legal status.

Another lasting legacy of the Obama presidency.

My first question here would be... aside from further dismantling of the conservative principle of a meritocracy... why bother spending billions of dollars on border security if you're going to throw open the doors anyway?

Oh yeah, just like the Obama administration has transmuted "terrorists" into "enemy combatants"... "ILLEGAL immigrants" will henceforth be known as "customers".

Thank you, President Ponzi.

RELATED: Words that replace thought

None of this is rocket science. But if you don't stop and think, it doesn't matter whether you are a genius or a moron. Words that stop people from thinking reduce even smart people to the same level as morons.

I miss critical thought.
