A roving horde of the living dead -- followers of an evil cult headed by Russian mystic Rasputin -- attack a press conference and target Russian President Vladimir Putin for termination. With the help of an American sidekick, alcoholic and aggressive American tough-guy Mike, the Russian politician battles the infinite host of zombies with wit, style -- and a pen.
Putin plays the superhero in a new mobile phone game, "You Don't Mess With Putin," due to be released around Halloween this year. The role is perfect for the steely Russian president

I went to My Obama App! and picked out the one which gives me the distance to pin, but is wrong by a factor of around 3. Also got the one which canges my ring to "I'm a Racist!"
[WEEKLYSTANDARD] Via William Jacobson, NBC's affiliate in Washington, D.C. reports that police ordered tourists and Vietnam war veterans who were visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to leave the memorial at one point on Friday.
After one group of veterans went around the barricade, "the park ranger told them the wall was closed," NBC's Mark Seagraves reported. "Later another group of vets showed up and moved the barricades. At that point, the memorial filled with vets and tourists. That's when police came and moved everyone out."
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is a black granite outdoor wall on which the names of the 58,272 service members who died or were unaccounted for during the Vietnam war are inscribed.

So, suppose USA was conquered by a foreign power. How'd things be different?

Typical Obama, put hatred and government power against perceived enemies: veterans and the military, reward with government money your cronies -NPR funded nation guard, not.

Soros, Obama, Reid, and the leftist press (editors and publishers), crony capitalists, come to mind as instrumental in providing the money and political cover, as well as the commission of evil acts.
[BLOOMBERG] Bill de Blasio, who won the Democratic mayoral nomination vowing to tax New York's richest residents to pay for universal pre-school, called himself a "fiscal conservative" in a speech to business leaders.
Speaking before 800 executives hosted by the Association for a Better New York today, de Blasio, 52, was interrupted by applause at least 10 times as he told the civic group he would use the mayoralty to fight economic inequality. In a speech to ABNY exactly one year ago, a smaller audience sat in silence.
"I want to pleasantly shock the room and say I'm a fiscal conservative," de Blasio said, responding to a questioner seeking lower hotel-occupancy taxes. "I'm a progressive-activist fiscal conservative, but I'm still a fiscal conservative. We can't talk about tax cuts in any sector until we sort out our financial situation."

The richest ones will leave. Maybe government services should be cut. But nobody will vote for someone that will put the city on an even keel.

The richest ones will make the adjustments recommended by their oh so clever tax lawyers to pay no more than they did before, because living in NYC is fun when one is rich. The middle class will pay more taxes, and the poor will not be the ones to benefit from the enriched government coffers. No matter what promises were made.
So Attila the Hun and Ghangiz Khan were also, looting to fill the coffers of their form of government.
Let's review three principles that are not part of the Socialist-Marxist manifesto -
Thou shall not covet. Thou shall not bear false witness. Thou shall not steal.
BTW - universal pre-school aka Head Start has been shown to have no significant effect upon populations once they've reached the third grade. Just another AGW type Leftest hype that chooses to ignore reality.

the Assoc for a better NY has very few actual businesse invovled; most of the executives at the Blasio event were from probably from public do-good type groups or private businesses that advocate for do-good causes

I'm a progressive-activist fiscal conservative
At first glance that may seem like a contradiction in terms. Its not unlike Howard Dean routinely claiming to be a deficit hawk. The key, of course, is they want the ability to choose who has to pay for their spending and who gets special treatment. If you need further information consult your Progressive handbook for the term Fairness.
[Al Ahram] President Barack Obama on Saturday called on the lower chamber of Congress to "stop this farce" and end the US government shutdown by unconditionally approving a federal budget. "Take that vote. Stop this farce. End this shutdown now," Obama said in his weekly radio and video address.

The House of Representatives can end the farce by voting for Articles of Impeachment. Now. They have the votes. I don't give a $#!** what the Senate might do with that, they are all bought and paid for anyway. Sometimes, isn't it the "thought" that counts?
#5
Impeachment would definitely upset things for the rest of Champs term. Would keep him busy and off balance and give the rest of us breathing space. Anyway, he doesn't really seem to get (or doesn't believe in) the notion of the "separation of powers."
#5
Feds have claimed jurisdiction, and that there is no legal mechanism for states and towns to keep them open. Also that it would be 'unfair' for some to be open and not all.
[BREITBART] Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was "closed" due to the shutdown. Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square-miles of open ocean. Fishing is also prohibited at Biscayne National Park during the shutdown.
Time for a regatta!
The Park Service will also have rangers on duty to police the ban. Of access to an ocean. The government will probably use more personnel and spend more resources to attempt to close the ocean, than it would in its normal course of business.
Make them do so...
This is governing by temper-tantrum. It is on par with the government's ham-fisted attempts to close the DC WWII Memorial, an open-air public monument that is normally accessible 24 hours a day. By accessible I mean, you walk up to it. When you have finished reflecting, you then walk away from it.

FREE TRADE AND SAIORS RIGHTS! didn't we fight a war over that? Oh, my DC guy says the WWII Memorial Barrycades are now wired together so the next Honor Flight Veterans better bring those Bangalores left over from Omaha Beach

I,the great Barack of Hawaii, via Chicago, do hereby command that my NPS servants close the Atlantic Ocean in Florida! Let it be so ....
I also command that the NPS servants close all the open air public monuments, which are within and out of my sight (Grand Canyon) for I must enforce the laws of the land ! Let it be so ...

You know, I've only one explanation for Obama's behavior: he just curious how far he can push you people.
#4
...until that Lexington Commons moment, cause we're dealing with fools. Once that happens, it's like the detection of a nuke launch. Do you wait to see if its an accident and accept limited but significant casualties or do you take it as a precursor to a full volley at which time you lose your ability to respond fully in kind if you don't launch everything as well. Escalation is rapid and out of real control while deescalation is very hard to pull off. Given the skill of these clowns the latter is probably not an option.
#5
No, he isn't curious. He feels HE is the one being pushed to the limit. He believes his righteousness is so self-evident that there is no need to respect law, custom, or courtesy. There is nothing he won't hold hostage to extort concessions, which is ok because there is no legitimate reason anyone could disagree with him, fail to sympathize with him, or support his opponents. The only upside is that he is making new enemies where he previously would have encountered no resistance.
#9
Like a lot of the shutdown activity, it would seem that it's gonna take more resources to enforce the closure than it would to keep it open. Are they gonna send cops to stop all fishing boats headed out onto the ocean?

The absurdity, ridiculousness and naivette of this administration is astonishing. I hope they don't do anything rash. On the other hand...
#11
I believe this is calculated and directed. I believe he is targeting traditional conservative Americans in an effort to start a fight. The Veterans, the few that live on govt land, fishermen, and tourists all come from the flyover states he so hates. They will very easily be identified as tea partiers by the liberal press when one group ends up in an altercation with police. Kicking 80 year olds out of their homes, blocking scenic overlooks, and closing an ocean bay show just how far and how absurd they are willing to go to start a fight. Soon they will close all farms that take gov subsidies. The minute one of these groups fight back, he will have his reason to enact marshal law and start down the path he has so wanted for many years.
I am just surprised the park service is dumb enough to try and enforce his mandate. But then his DOJ attacks did not start a fight, his IRS attacks did not start a fight, his NSA attacks did not start a fight, now he is down to the preverbal "kicking puppies and kittens" to try and get a violent response.

"O" goes after "this group and that group". After a while as the groups grow in number, "this group and that group" constitutes a large majority of the people and then the show is over.
Judging by the weedhead worldsavers of his vintage I've known, I doubt he knows more than the name and the beach scene, totally out of context. In any case, he'd cast Boehner in that role. O and his bunch would be the rising tide, the inevitable progress of blah blah blah. Striding purposefully onto the stage at his umpteen-thousandth speaking date twenty years from now, he'll still think he's Robin Hood. Rich to the poor. Band of merry diverseniks. Partisan lair in Sherwood Forest. It'll never occur to him that he was the King John of his century. Hey, ya gotta dream.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
