"Youths" Riot in Mall of America

The "youths" are at it again.  What troubles them so?  Apparently this revolved around a Lil' Wayne.

From KARE:

Fists flew and so did a few chairs during a large-scale brawl at the Mall of America Monday. No official lockdown of the mall occurred, but some stores did close their doors until order was restored. A statement from the Mall of America call this incident "unfortunate especially during the holidays." The statement went on to say, "As with any incident we will review our securityoomington Police to see if any changes are required."

Occupy Protesters Fly Al Qaeda and and Hizballah Flags

But it's those scary tea party folks you really need to be worried about.

People monitoring the Occupy D.C. movement tell Inside the Ring that the two encampments are fast becoming health hazards. Numerous protesters also recently were sickened with unusual respiratory illnesses.

The major emerging problem for the leftists camped out in tents at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza is rats. The rodents appear to be moving into the area by the hundreds, and their numbers are increasing daily.

The McPherson camp appears be where more radical leftists are based. An observer familiar with the McPherson camp said one distinctive smell coming from the park area is that of methamphetamine being smoked.

Among the flags being flown by some protesters are those from the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and al Qaeda.

Let's not forget folks.  Obama is on their side.

Judge Wins the Captain Obvious Award

Mr Pownall asked: 'Who else could it have been if it wasn't you?' and Boudjenane replied: 'I can't remember.'

Mr Pownall asked if he used that cleaver to cut his head off, but Boudjenane said: 'I don't know.'

Judge Moss told him: 'I have no doubt on the evidence that you intended to kill him. Thereafter, you insulted his dead body by mutilation. You decapitated his body and tried to dismember him.

'You disposed of the head and body in an attempt as I find to avoid capture. You are, it seems to me, a very dangerous individual.'

The judge then proceeded to cut 6 years off of his life sentence.  Dangerous.  But not that dangerous.

Boudjenane met the 42-year-old Filipina nanny at a party a few months before the attack, the Old Bailey heard at the original trial.

She worked in Oxford but on February 3 ran into him outside a newsagents in Kilburn, and reluctantly agreed to go to his flat.

He double locked the front door, tied her up with shoelaces and shaved off her hair, raping her twice.

The court heard Boudjenane threatened to kill her by putting her in a tub of boiling water and also accused her of being a prostitute and having sex with 'the man upstairs' - Mr Ouyahia.

But he let her go the next day after she repeatedly promised to become a Muslim to marry him.

He went to Sainsbury's at around 8pm to buy bleach, Dettol and a mop as he plotted to kill Mr Ouyahia, and was next seen boarding a bus carrying a 'head-shaped' bag on February 5.

What Do Americans Really Think of Liberal Policies? - Mass Exodus from Illinois

This study is about as insightful as one can get.  People are leaving the Democrat governed Illinois by the hundreds of thousands.  And taking their taxable income with them.

Recent data from the Internal Revenue Service shows that, in 2009, Illinois netted a loss of people to 43 states, including each of its neighbors – Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and Iowa. Over the course of the entire year, the state saw a net of 40,000 people leave Illinois for another state.

The data reflects a continuation of a trend of out-migration from Illinois that has lasted more than a decade. Between 1995 and 2009, the state lost on a net basis more than 806,000 people to out-migration.

When people leave, they take their income and their talent with them. In 2009 alone, Illinois lost residents who took with them a net of $1.5 billion in taxable income. From 1995 to 2009, Illinois lost out on a net of $26 billion in taxable income to out-migration.

Here's a map.  You might notice some of the other liberal states that are losing population as well.

Obama's Drunk Illegal Alien Uncle is Blaming Cops for His Arrest

What an absolute disgrace Obama and his family are.  It's hard to imagine, with all the stoic figures who have led this country in the past, that we have sunk to this.

Lawyers for President Obama’s illegal alien half-uncle are going after the beat cop who busted him on a drunken-driving rap, chasing internal affairs records they hope will paint him as a serial squad-car speeder.

Onyango Obama never would have been stopped and subjected to a breath test, which lawyers also are contesting, if it weren’t for the cop’s bad driving, his lawyers insist.

“It will be our contention that the officer nearly caused the accident by nearly hitting Obama,” defense attorney William L. Harvey III told the Herald, saying he believes patrolman Val Krishtal was going “well above the speed limit” at the time of the near-crash.

Obama’s August drunken-driving arrest brought to light his history as a 20-year immigration fugitive who had been living quietly and holding down a job at a local liquor store.

Sounds like we might be heading for another beer summit.  Of course, you might remember that Obama's aunt was living here illegally as well...

And that recently, his cousin met with Iranian leader Ahmadinejad.

And who can forget that his cousin was arrested on drug charges?

Or that other brother who was accused of sexual abuse of a teen?

And finally, here are some things every American should know about Obama's Kenyan family.

Boat Loaded with Patriot Missles Stopped in Finland...On its Way to China

I've heard nothing of this in the mainstream media.  But this has to be a cause for great concern.  From The Guardian: 

Finnish officials find 160 tonnes of explosives and 69 Patriot missiles on the British-registered cargo ship bound for Shanghai.

Around 160 tonnes of explosives and 69 surface-to-air missiles have been found by Finnish officials on a cargo ship bearing a British flag and ultimately destined for China, authorities say. They said they did not know the origin of the Patriot missiles or who was supposed to receive them.

I've read that the shipment is supposedly legal, and that the missles are on their way to South Korea.  Really?  This is how we ship our military weapons?  Like it's Fed Ex or something?  And we don't suspect that these missles will fall into the wrong hands?

"Of course, there are legal transports of weapons or defense material (through Finland) but in this case the cargo was marked as containing fireworks," Rasanen told national broadcaster YLE TV. "That is quite unusual."

The Military and Political Genius of Barack Obama

Honestly people.  Can you name one thing this man has done right?

More than 60 people died in Iraq today as a result of 14 different bomb attacks.  This just days after we took all our troops out of the country.

GWP has video.

Obama's policies are a lot like this golf cart.

This Guy Needs to Fry

Yes.  I'm advocating the death penalty for this man.  You gotta be pretty damn evil to do something like this.

A young father is now the subject of a police probe after a shocking photo of his daughter with her hands and feet bound was posted on Facebook.

Andre Curry, 21, of Chicago, has generated intense internet backlash after he posted the photo in July.

The photo is slapped with the caption 'this is wut happens wen my baby hits me back'.

Je’Vanna Cobbins, a friend of Curry's, told The Smoking Gun that he was just “playing around,' and would 'never do anything to harm anyone.'

She said: '[He was] being playful with his child. People play with their child differently'.

WTF!!!???  People play with their child differently?  Sure.  Just like Michael Vick played with his dogs differently.  Shut the hell up Je'Vanna!

My New Favorite Lawmaker - "Michelle Obama Has a Fat Ass"

He's not saying anything Barry doesn't already know.

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.), known for his cantankerous ways and for not speaking to media unless it’s his idea, was overheard at the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan National Airport today talking on his cellphone about an incident he said occurred three weeks ago while at an Episcopal church auction. Please note, a church auction.

Our source, a Democratic operative who heard the whole thing, said he was “very loud”. Sensenbrenner was overheard saying that after buying all their “crap” (his word) a woman approached him and praised first lady Michelle Obama. He told the woman that Michelle should practice what she preaches — “she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.”

Matt Damon Falls Out of Love with Obama

Hey Matt!  How you like dem' apples?

Matt Damon, one of Barack Obama's earliest supporters and once one of his most staunch advocates, slammed the President in the new issue of Elle Magazine.

"I've talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level. One of them said to me, 'Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician,'" Damon tells the magazine. "You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better."

But you see Matt?  The damage has already been done.  You should apologize for your enormous and harmful stupidity.  And never, ever, again think you are qualified to pubicly support any political candidate.  Just because you played a genius in the movies, doesn't make you one. 

The Top 10 Most Bizarre Wars

The War of the Oaken Bucket

This war began in 1325, when a rivalry between the independent city states of Modena and Bologna spiraled out of control over the most unlikely of things, a wooden bucket. The trouble started when a band of Modena soldiers raided Bologna and stole a large wooden bucket. The raid was successful, but Bologna, wishing to secure both its bucket and its pride, declared war on Modena. The war raged on for twelve whole years but Bologna never did manage to get its bucket back. To this day the bucket is still stored in Modena’s bell tower.

Health Food Lunches a Big Flop at Los Angeles Schools

Another example of liberalism blowing up in their paternalistic faces.  Even the children of hippies won't eat this crap.  From the LA Times:

It's lunchtime at Van Nuys High School and students stream into the cafeteria to check out the day's fare: black bean burgers, tostada salad, fresh pears and other items on a new healthful menu introduced this year by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

But Iraides Renteria and Mayra Gutierrez don't even bother to line up. Iraides said the school food previously made her throw up, and Mayra calls it "nasty, rotty stuff." So what do they eat? The juniors pull three bags of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and soda from their backpacks.

"This is our daily lunch," Iraides says. "We're eating more junk food now than last year."

Participation in the school lunch program has dropped by thousands of students. Principals report massive waste, with unopened milk cartons and uneaten entrees being thrown away. Students are ditching lunch, and some say they're suffering from headaches, stomach pains and even anemia. At many campuses, an underground market for chips, candy, fast-food burgers and other taboo fare is thriving.

Acknowledging the complaints, L.A. Unified's food services director, Dennis Barrett, announced this month that the menu would be revised. Hamburgers will be offered daily. Some of the more exotic dishes are out, including the beef jambalaya, vegetable curry, pad Thai, lentil and brown rice cutlets, and quinoa and black-eyed pea salads. And the Caribbean meatball sauce will be changed to the more familiar teriyaki flavor.
