Yesterday Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a Somali refugee welcomed into the United States, posted a rant on Facebook against non-Muslims, got into a car, rammed into a group of people at Ohio State University where he was a student, then  went on a stabbing spree. Eleven people were injured before the terrorist was shot by a cop.

(Have you ever heard of a Christian or Jewish or Hindu stabber going on a stabbing spree? Yeah, me neither…)

Early reports were that it was an attacker with a gun. The left-wing media were so excited: they thought this was going to be another teachable moment about why guns need to be banned.

Then the uh-oh moment: The attack was not a shooting, but a car-and-knife attack, by a Muslim. So they stopped writing about it. It didn’t fit the narrative.

Look at what the university president said:

“We don’t know anything that would link this to any community. We certainly don’t have any evidence that would say that’s the case.”

Huh? He was Somali. He was Muslim. He had once said he wanted to kill one billion infidels. Those are the “links.”

This is a reason Trump won, in Ohio and elsewhere. Not just the problem of Muslim violence. But the problem of media and political and academia’s wilful blindness to it.

Glad to see you back. A first I though you just dropped in for a minute, not sure if you were gonna be off again to some adventure. I need one pretty soon despite the turbulent sky’s. Have to get the cobwebs out my jet propelled one go on my own I guess.

I really think it’s about time to split teams up on flights. I had a bad feeling since when I flew to PA 2013 about flying right now for a few years. Only flew once since then this year. I expected to see a number of crashes for some reason. I noticed there was two a year in some of those years.  I lost my sons Pediatrician in one on well deserved vacation then but think it was in Canary Islands in 1970s. Theirs taking off while one coming in. Someone gave the plane clearance that shouldn’t have.  He and his wife were killed. He was such a good doctor not like these commercial ones today. He even let people barter for medical care like old school too.  Found out later long time friend of my Ex mother was on that flight too also killed.

My son in law was really into that team. He was going pro once but got a serious knee injury but his friend made it. He followed that team so caused me to pay more attention to it to get autographed cards for him for gifts. Told him about it he was pretty shocked. He was born in Brazil where his parents were stationed. They would of stayed after service but his dad was allergic to the eucalyptus trees. That’s when I learned of a serious lung infection you can get from that as well as fungal. It’s good he had good military doctors. Funny one of his doctors didn’t want him to go to Calif to visit our grandson and his son. The bad air he mentioned lol Another good doctor lol

Lets hope they never get their hands on it, and that Syria continues to exist. The whole area is a maelstrom! How many countries are involved in the fighting in the ME? We should thank our stars we weren’t born there.

Declaration Of War? Erdogan Says Turkish Forces Are In Syria To End Assad’s Rule

Having stated in the past that the only reason Turkish forces are on Syrian soil is to combat Islamic State terrorists, today Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan made a dramatic diplomatic reversal and said that the Turkish Army has entered Syria to end the rule of President Bashar Assad, whom he accused of terrorism and causing the deaths of thousands.

“We entered [Syria] to end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad who terrorizes with state terror. [We didn’t enter] for any other reason,” the Turkish president was quoted by Huyrriyet as saying at the first Inter-Parliamentary Jerusalem Platform Symposium in Istanbul. Erdogan said that Turkey has no territorial claims in Syria, but instead wants to hand over power to the Syrian population, adding that Ankara is seeking to restore “justice.”

“Why did we enter? We do not have an eye on Syrian soil. The issue is to provide lands to their real owners. That is to say we are there for the establishment of justice,” he said, taking a page out of the US playbook, which however in recent weeks has been muted following substantial advances by Syrian and Russian forces which as reported last night, have made material gains in the fight against Syrian rebels in east Aleppo.

I’ve noticed GPL and its strength the last week or so, not sure what is going on with that. Maybe someone knows something we don’t. I own some but not enough.

Kind of a weak day for pm’s considering the dollar weakness. Pretty frustrating although silver managed to finish flat.

I have watched the music video filmed at the ‘Peacock Castle’ several times now. Along with the exceptional beauty and tile work my eye caught a glimpse of some writing on one of walls at the 1:52 time marker. I think (?) I have found an image of that particular writing. I am dying of curiosity to know what words the builders of such a magnificent place would have had inscribed for all to see. So if you, or anyone else at the Oasis could let us know what it says that would be great.

And don’t chide me about having nothing else to do. The answer is No, besides it’s a rainy day, and that gal’s voice is starting to grow on me. Though I do think a cup of hot tea and honey would soothe a few of those raspy notes. 🙂 Imagine that, Farmboy a music critic. But I do occasionally get to watch The Voice.

Don’t blame you for staying where your at amongst nature.. And peace., sounds nice.

So far looks like airline or Pilot error. The whole team but a few were killed. They were all jazzed about winning a hard team from Venezuela. So tragic,  6  survived the crash but can only estimate from the crash site they have to be in critical condition and probably going to substandard hospitals. so don’t know how many of them will survive good care or not. Only 3 they said stayed behind from sports injuries. Looks like except for a few the whole team gone.

Nice long term charts. Good site for the faves.

Happy I am to hear you explain your position with regard to women.  If your posts had been clear on the particular women, such as Clinton and Stein, I would not have made a comment…to me it sounded as though all women should be trounced.  I’m glad that is not the case.
