FBI Probes Belgian Terrorist Threat

  As I’ve previously explained, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs first alerted America to the danger of Belgian extremists, and whenever The Flemish Menace™ makes another terrorist attack, it’s important to give Charles credit. Consider the latest news from Pensacola: The F.B.I. was investigating but did not confirm a report that the Saudi trainee […]

His Name Was Mohammed Alshamrani

  If I had to guess, I’d say he’s probably from Belgium: Four people are dead including the suspect after an active shooting incident at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida, police said. The shooter was identified as Mohammed Alshamrani, a Saudi national [oops, I guessed wrong — RSM] and member of the country’s air […]

Pakistani-Born Usman Khan Named as Killer in London Bridge Knife Attack

NYMag Plays The Race Card On #YouDidntDoThat

by Smitty Raaaaacism, like flatus, is often closest to the emitter: The key thing is that Obama is angry, and he’s talking not in his normal voice but in a “black dialect.” This strikes at the core of Obama’s entire political identity: a soft-spoken, reasonable African-American with a Kansas accent. From the moment he stepped […]

TSA Must Be A Cow, Clearing Both The Shark And The Moon In An Idiotic Jump

by Smitty How do you work in an airport adjacent to Kentucky, where CNN blares 24/7, and not know the junior U.S. Senator from the neighbor state? The White House is standing by the Transportation Security Administration in its standoff with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and his father, Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). […]
