FBI Can Hijack Your Webcam
by Tammy on December 9, 2013Another reminder of how vulnerable all ‘smart’ electronics are to the Fed’s snoops. Me? I have swatches of paper packing tape covering my webcams. Via Newsmax. The FBI’s advanced surveillance methods can even activate a computer’s webcam to spy on computer users — without switching on the device’s telltale green light — reports about the investigation behind a bomb threat suspect reveal. The covert snooping in the case of a mystery man, “Mo,” also shows how investigators can download files, photographs and stored e-mails from a computer without its owner knowing, reports The Washington Post. “We have transitioned into a world where law enforcement is hacking into people’s computers and we have never had public debate,” Christopher Soghoian of the...

TSA. Sock Monkey. Toy Gun. What Could Go Wrong?
by Tammy on December 9, 2013Yes, the TSA has seized a sock monkey’s toy gun. Madness, absolute madness. Via NRO. TSA agents in St. Louis, Missouri, disarmed Rooster Monkburn, a cowboy sock money, of his two-inch toy gun after a woman brought the stuffed monkey through security. Agents said that it posed a threat because it could be confused for a real gun, according to local reports. “[The agent] said ‘this is a gun,’” said Phyllis May, recounting the experience to fly back to her home in Washington state. “I said no, it’s not a gun it’s a prop for my monkey.” May, who has a small business selling sock monkeys, was also questioned for bringing the sewing supplies she uses to make the stuffed...

‘Duck Dynasty’ Star: “They Told Us To Stop Praying To Jesus So It Wouldn’t Offend Muslims”
by Tammy on December 9, 2013Unfortunately, not surprised. Fortunately, the Robertsons stood their ground. In an interview with sports spectrum magazine Willie & Phil Robertson, stars of Duck Dynasty, talk about fake bleeps, praying in Jesus’ name, and getting flack from Christians. When the editors of Duck Dynasty asked the stars to stop saying “In Jesus Name” during...

Obama Advisor: If You Want To Pay More For Your Doctor, You Can Do That
by Tammy on December 9, 2013The Obama regime is still trying to convince you that they never said what they said. And now that we know that Obama has set up a system where only rich people can access the the doctors and hospitals they want, how does this not exacerbate the quality of life between the rich and the poor? Why has the Obama administration created a system that makes quality healthcare available only for the 1%? These are questions liberals and ObamaBots in general have to ask themselves, and they’re not going to like the answers. Via RCP. CHRIS WALLACE, HOST: President Obama famously promised, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Doesn’t that turn out to be just as...

OMG! Our Malignant Narcissist-in-Chief Strikes Again, This Time On Pearl Harbor Day
by Shifra on December 9, 2013There was much buzzing on Twitter this weekend, when @WhiteHouse failed to mention Pearl Harbor Day. As reported by Townhall, here was the first @WhiteHouse tweet of Dec. 7: President Obama’s Weekly Address: Why Congress needs to extend unemployment insurance; #ABetterBargain ; The White House (@WhiteHouse) December 7, 2013 But, Breitbart reports that Obama did, in fact, acknowledge the 1941 event, on his Facebook page, by….. wait for it…. posting a picture of himself. Not. kidding. via Breitbart: Obama Honors Pearl Harbor Dead With Picture of Himself President Barack Obama’s Facebook page on Saturday posted a message honoring the dead from Pearl Harbor—accompanied by a picture of Obama descending the stairs next to the Pearl Harbor Memorial. The picture barely...

New Lib Watchdog Group Pounces On GOP “Mini-Gaffe”
by Shifra on December 9, 2013A few months ago, Politico reported on a liberal organization, American Bridge 21st Century, and their plan to expand operations for the 2014 and 2016 elections. The group, according to their “mission statement,” … is a progressive research and communications organization committed to holding Republicans accountable for their words and actions and helping you ascertain when Republican candidates are pretending to be something they’re not…. Political commentator Michael Kinsley once said that the definition of a gaffe is when you catch a politician telling the truth. That’s exactly what we plan to do…. And they plan to employ about 50 “camera-wielding” operatives, ready to catch Republicans making gaffes. Never heard of ‘em? Neither did I. That is, until last week,...

Wow. Clinton: Mandela Helped Me Forgive GOP For Impeachment
by Tammy on December 6, 2013Every day we see examples of Obama’s Malignant Narcissism, including with his response to Mandela’s death. But everything is also about Bill Clinton. For him, Mandela’s purpose was served in helping… Bill Clinton. Via Free Beacon. …Former South African President Nelson Mandela was famously imprisoned for his persistent democratic advocacy and pursuit of racial equality in South Africa. Later in life Mandela reconciled many of his captors when he became the President of South Africa. Clinton, by contrast, was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice for blatantly lying under oath to Congressional investigators about his affair with Monica Lewinksy.

6 Hospitalized in Mexico For Possible Radiation Poisoning
by Tammy on December 6, 2013Related to this earlier story of a truck being hijacked which was carrying radioactive material supposedly used in medical applications. This is exactly the sort of material that can be used for a dirty bomb. None of the earlier reporting attributing this to a random hijacking made sense to me, now here is the follow up. While this story discusses the hospitalization of 6 individuals, buried deep in the article is the fact that two of the culprits are being held by Mexican federal police. I also want to to know the names of the suspects. I expect them to all be Mexican, I wouldn’t be surprised at all is there’s an Arab in there somewhere. Then, of course, the...

After Snubbing Thatcher Funeral, Obama & Michelle to Visit South Africa for Mandela
by Tammy on December 6, 2013Excellent reminder by Ben Shapiro over at Breitbart. I do understand the travel to attend that funeral, but by attending that one and snubbing Thatcher we get another understanding that both Obamas are jerks. And since the cost of this new travel and security expense is going to be extraordinary, it would be appropriate for the Obamas to cancel their yearly tax-payer dollar splurge to Hawaii. But they won’t, of course, because all of this provides just another chance to further damage this nation while they have the time of their lives. On Friday, the White House announced that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would travel to South Africa next week to pay their respects to Nelson Mandela....

Even Tippy The Fainting Squirrel Is Horrified By Obamacare
by Shifra on December 6, 2013For reasons unknown, this video has become an internet sensation; a squirrel, dubbed “Tippy” because of his tendency to repeatedly tip over and faint. via Honor Via Everyone is chiming in with possible diagnoses for Tippy’s condition, ranging from “Brain… this is your brain on Liberalism” to “intoxication from fermented acorns.” Well, I am not a veterinarian (although I did stay at a Holiday Inn once) but here is my diagnosis: Tippy is suffering from Obamacare Sticker Shock. Tippy has just learned that his new Obamacare insurance policy has a $13,000 deductible. He faints, gets up, remembers the $13K deductible, and faints again. No one is safe from this disaster. Not even poor Tippy. Related: via CBC News: Tippy the...
