Two police officers were hit by gunfire early Thursday outside the Ferguson police department.
The shots were fired just after midnight as police were confronting protesters who had gathered outside the police station.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said one officer was with his department and the other was with the Webster Groves department. Both were being treated at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where Belmar spoke.
The chief said at least three shots were fired. He described the injuries of both men as “very serious wounds.”
The Webster Groves officer was shot in the face. He is 32 and has been on the force five years.
The county officer was hit in the shoulder. That officer is 41 and has been on the force for 14 years.
Belmar said no suspects have been identified in the shootings.
Trende gets close to the bone in Why Clinton’s Emails Matter, which you should read. But it’s not just a case study in Advanced Scandal Choreography, as we move from
Bibi (“Quick, #OccupyResoluteDesk is too amateurish”) to
Her Majesty’s Secret Email Service to
Oh My God! Those 47 GOP Senators said something concise and cogent pointing out, for the 1,103 time this Administration, the Rodeo Clown ain’t got sack.
As Trende points out, scandals come and go, cancelling across parties stochastically and sarcastically. Closer to the election is certainly worse, and Her Majesty must know that she’s got a full-on zombie parade to await, should the Royal Syllables condescend to grace the ballot. But this is Her Majesty, Hillary What-difference-at-this-point-does-it-make Diane I’ve-schemed-for-this-for-decades-and-this-is-MY-turn Rodham If-you-make-a-last-mistake-and-cross-me-you-get-Foster-care Clinton.
The woman doesn’t give a tinker’s dam about anything. This is the woman who doesn’t just fully comply with every rule, but “I fully complied with every rule I was governed by.” A look at her soiled career from Watergate to now indicates she’s been governed (in the sense of properly controlled) pretty much never. It’s always some angle, some nuance, some loophole she’s working.
A Hillary administration would likely deliver some email-gate style outrage frequently, perhaps weekly. Do you doubt that ObamaCare would be terminated and replaced with Single Prayer, should Her Majesty be the next Commie in the oval office? An even more weaponized IRS/DoJ tag team showering goon squads on the South and flyover country?
The good news about Her Majesty oozing toward a run is that these and other foreseen horrors are going to bring conservatives out of slumber. Every election is the Most Important Election In U.S. History, and 2016 isn’t going to disappoint in that regard.
It’s not often that I can give a thumbs up to fellow IFNAG and Senator John McCain, but signing Senator Cotton’s letter was the Right Thing To Do.
Vox is about as clueful on this point as they were on Her Majesty’s email.
McCain told Politico that:
“I saw the letter, I saw that it looked reasonable to me and I signed it, that’s all. I sign lots of letters.”
McCain’s statement, reported late on Tuesday when the furor over Cotton’s letter had become a national scandal, seems clearly intended to minimize his actions by making them seem commonplace and inconsequential.
Just signing a letter! Who among us hasn’t signed letters? Basically the same as the family update your mom mails to all her cousins every Christmas — they’re all just “letters.”
Well, yeah, read it, Vox bimbo. This is the same blog where another Vox knob said of the letter:
This is a direct strike at the president’s ability to conduct foreign policy without congressional interference. Presumably, Clinton doesn’t like the precedent: after all, Senate Republicans could do something similar to a President Clinton in 2017.
Now, I’m old enough to remember that fabled, pre-unitary executive America, when the Senate had a responsibility to ratify treaties. Rumor has it that the Vox staff thinks “treaties” are what they get from neighbors at Halloween.
No wonder I don’t read Vox. I feel dumber from even this tiny exposure.
During a search of her home and a camper van, officers also found a DVD showing women having sex with dogs.
A jury took just half an hour to find the 55-year-old, was born a man, guilty but cleared her of the second count relating to the DVD. . . .
[Prosecutor Kate] Mallison told the jury of six men and six women: ‘What was found on the phone were two videos of images of someone having sexual intercourse or oral sex with an animal, namely a horse, which is banned by law.
‘As a result of her arrest, her property and car were searched and in her car a DVD was found containing a number of images showing someone having sexual intercourse or oral sex with a dog. …’
The jury at Guildford Crown Court heard that Love worked in a West End club for gay and transsexual people . . .
The court heard Love took her phone into the 02 store in Camberley, Surrey on July 26, 2013 after her emails stopped working.
Horrified staff found two video clips called ‘Sally Horse’ and ‘Hannah’ showing video clips of women having sex with horses.Both clips featured a logo reading ‘zoosection.com’. . . .
When asked why she had not tried to find out who had given her the DVDs, she replied: ‘I do not know the people who get into my van and tie me up and have sex with me. I wouldn’t know where to start.
‘Nine times out of ten I am off my head on drugs.’
Miss Mallison said: ‘Is it just coincidence that the two pictures are of the same nature as the DVD?’
Jobless Love replied: ‘I have all sorts of DVDs, several of black men who are well endowed. I never ask people’s names, I just get tied up, have a good time and never see them again.’

Finally! An answer to the question: "What kind of man would find Lena Dunham attractive?" https://t.co/gYjyKxXrRb@g56yu
Her parents are rich and they sent her to Oberlin College (annual tuition $48,682). Through her family’s wealth and influential connections, she scored a deal for an HBO series that is supposed to be a “comedy” but isn’t remotely funny. Almost nobody watches Girls, but it is effusively praised by critics because it’s supposed to express the hip young feminist zeitgeist or something. She wrote a book in which she described molesting her baby sister and also lied about being raped at college, deliberately libeling a Republican student activist named Barry.
Lena Dunham has said that abuse and threats from Twitter trolls left her feeling a “mess” — and she has now hired her own personal tweeter.
The Girls creator admitted that she finds it difficult to deal with the level of abuse that she receives online, despite her reputation for not caring what other people think. . . .
“[You’re] like, ‘oh my god, that’s so funny, somebody called me a fat cow who deserves to be dragged through the street,’ but it does affect you internally,” Dunham said during a Q&A session at the annual PaleyFest in Los Angeles, Variety reported. . . .
The 28-year-old, who spoke alongside her fellow cast members and the executive producers of the HBO series, has now hired a woman to take care of her Twitter account. Dunham said she composes her own tweets but doesn’t log onto the social media site herself, although she is kept abreast if there’s an “important response”.
Lena Dunham is a selfish brat who has been protected all her life from the consequences of her own irresponsibility. Never once in her life has she done anything decent or generous, and instead has made a career of corrupting our culture. She has earned a reputation for dishonest cruelty. Like all such monsters, she cannot stand it when people tell the truth about her. And now she seeks pity as a victim?
Let's bring back the MEAN PEOPLE SUCK sticker. We need it more than we did in the 90s!
“It’s like ‘Eyes Wide Shut,’ but realistic,” says Gweneth Romein, 46, who works in consulting and has attended nearly 20 Killing Kittens events.
By “like Eyes Wide Shut” she means “There will be a lot of short men, and whores.” . . .
This is the sort of thing I see on porn sites: Young co-eds want to meet older men!
This is Whore-Talk for “Whore wants to get paid.” . . .
Sayle says 60 people have signed up for the NYC event, including a group of British female bankers who work at UBS’s Midtown office and a bevy of models.
Okay, here’s how you decode that: “bevy of models” means “flock of whores.”
“A group of British female bankers” means “a flock of whores, who own pinstripe jackets.” . . .
Meet @AngieLCarter, who plans to complete her Ph.D. in sociology this year at Iowa State University, and who apparently helped lead protesters Tuesday against author Katie Pavlich:
Townhall editor and Twitchy favorite Katie Pavlich spoke Tuesday night at Iowa State University on the topic of “Sexual Assault on Campus: A Conservative Perspective.” We’ve heard plenty of liberals give their take on campus sexual assault: some universities officially advise female students to blow a whistle, vomit, fake a disease or just use the buddy system and campus “safe zones” to avoid being raped.
By all means, though, women on campus should not arm themselves, for fear that they might mistakenly “feel” they’re in trouble when they’re actually not and “pop a round at somebody.”
Pavlich says that anti-gun protesters attended her speech, which is no surprise.
Controversial author: Fight
rape with guns on campuses
More than 200 people attended a lecture Tuesday evening at Iowa State University’s Memorial Union, many in protest, by a conservative author and Fox News political commentator known for her controversial views on sexual assault on college campuses. . . .
The speaker, Katie Pavlich, in a lecture titled “Sexual Assault on Campus: A Conservative Perspective,” castigated university administrators and liberals alike for what she said was their aversion to empowering women to defend themselves against rapists. . . .
“Because of these policies women are being turned into victims in order to uphold anti-gun political philosophies held by administrators. What can be a woman’s best defense against a sexual assault? A gun.” . . .
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Iowa is one of 23 states where individual campuses can choose whether to allow guns on campus. ISU does not allow it.
Is it “controversial” to say that a woman with a gun is less likely to be raped? Is there nothing “controversial” about Iowa State University’s policy? May we inquire what Pavlich’s critics are teaching at ISU?
Angie Carter is a Sociology PhD candidate co-majoring in ISU’s Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture (GPSA). Her sociological areas of interest include symbolic interaction, narrative construction, inequality, gender, social change, agrifood systems, and the environment. Her research has studied community natural resource programs, farmland ownership and conservation adoption, and social justice in agrifood systems. While at ISU, Carter has participated in both the Preparing Future Faculty program and the Emerging Leaders Academy.
Carter’s dissertation is a multi-method analysis of the social processes related to farmland owner legitimacy in conservation decision-making and their relationship to gendered agricultural narratives. . . .
Additional research interests include the construction of masculinity in agriculture, the integration of justice within the sustainable agricultural paradigm, feminist pedagogical approaches, the symbolic uses of “human nature” and its connection to social inequality, the control and revision of cultural narratives, gendered organizations and institutional change, the privatization of the public university and the changing place of public science, and environmental justice social movements.
Upon graduation in May 2015, Carter plans to continue to integrate theory and practice through her research and teaching as a professor.
The question is not why “controversial” Katie Pavlich was confronted by protesters at ISU. The question is: “Do Iowa taxpayers know what kind of lunatic gibberish is being taught at ISU?”
Fact: Women receive about 70% of bachelor’s degrees in sociology, and also receive nearly two-thirds of Ph.D.s in the field. Because sociology has become so dominated by women, and because women in academia are generally adherents of radical feminism, this field is now an ideological swamp of jargon and “theory” that teaches nothing useful about human society. Isn’t it time legislators in Iowa and other states begin exercising their authority as stewards of taxpayers’ money and investigate what citizens are getting for the millions of dollars that are pumped into Academic Nonsense Factories called “state universities”?
