Mario Woods Day in San Francisco to be this summer on July 22nd ❗ I think I’ll go to celebrate 😎

San Francisco Supervisors Name Day for Shooting Victim Mario Woods, Despite Police Union Objections
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/San-Francisco-Supervisors-Police-Clash-Over-Naming-Day-For-Mario-Woods-366591341.html
“Over the objection of San Francisco’s police union, county supervisors unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday to officially declare July 22 “Mario Woods Day,” dedicated to the memory of the 26-year-old Bayview resident who was shot and killed by San Francisco police on Dec. 2, 2015.”

SFPD officers named in Mario Woods’ fatal shooting; federal lawsuit filed
http://www.ktvu.com/news/57021502-story
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KTVU & BCN)- A lawyer(John Burris) for the family of Mario Woods announced Friday he has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the San Francisco Police Department.
The 26-year-old San Francisco resident was shot and killed by police Dec. 2 when five San Francisco police officers responding to a reported stabbing, opened fire.

Burris’ office has called the shooting of Woods an “unnecessary and tragic death at the hands of the San Francisco Police Department.” Burris said it is similar to the recent police shooting deaths of La Quan MacDonald and Ron Johnson in Chicago, who were both shot in the back while moving away from police…

…When played frame-by-frame, Woods, seems to have his hands at his side as the first shot is fired. Burris said that shows that Woods was not a threat.”

Cruz: Trump ‘Owes At Least $480 Million Right Now’ [VIDEO]
Scroll down for video, this is so funny ~ 😆
http://www.newsjs.com/url.php?p=http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/31/cruz-trump-owes-at-least-480-million-right-now-video/
“He knows this loan story is completely nonsense,” Cruz said. “It’s also the height of chutzpah — for someone who owes hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars, to attack Heidi and me because we put our life savings into running for senate. And the statement that the loans weren’t disclosed, he knows is flat out false. The loans were disclosed.

Wallace then pressed Cruz to explain what Trump owes…”

Vice Special/Fighting ISIS 2016 on HBO. I think it’s the season premier of Vice. Be sure to watch the wasted efforts of so-called “servicemembers.” Bush: “Mission Accomplished” & Rumsfeld: “6 days, or 6 weeks, or 6 months” 😆

While I can agree I am not the best person to decide military strategy, even I can spot a SCOAMF in one attempt.

The Russians don’t seem to care as much about the tender sensibilities of our foes and the folks who support them. And aside from their neighbors, who we might not like any more than we do the Taliban, the Russians seem to have more friends than enemies.

The US hasn’t actually won a war since we decided the people who feed, clothe, and repair the enemy soldiers were off-limits. Maybe our Generals should reread von Clausewitz?

When there is no incentive to stop supporting our enemies (i.e, we treat everyone nice) and there are major incentives to keep on supporting them (i.e, they kill you), 99.999% of folks will choose the way that lets them live.

But ofviously one of us is missing the big picture. Dar al Harb or dar al Islam is how the enemy sees the world. We apparently are much more sophisticated and nuanced.

“Why we can’t carpet bomb ISIS. Duhh?!”

“And you know at the end of the day, it doesn’t only matter if you win, it matters how you win.”

…but it still matters if you win. I had to check if it was CNN or Duffleblog.

When ISIS has a convoy of oil trucks out on the open road, it sounds like a good time for carpet bombing. Sure, a couple A10s could do the same thing… but if it is worth doing, ot is worth doing by the grid square.

BTW, Joe, I mean no disrespect toward you. We disagree on some points (not all) and that’s fine. I just retch convulsively when Obama’s generals try to fisk political candidates and pretend that GOP campaign speeches are different than those of the donkey party.

Because of Benghazi and ISIS, they and their leaders, have zero credibility.

That doesn’t mean any of the folks running for top dog do either; but I am not surprised CNN would squeeze out material like that to cover up Hillary and Bernie tied in Iowa…

When people are mission planning for those bombing attacks, there is a JAG right there in the room measuring everything by the laws of armed conflict and deciding whether this or that target is justified by the necessity and proportionality test.
I know a guy who had (some second or third man on Al Qaeda’s leadership list, forgot the name they’ve killed him since) in an abandoned building and asked for permission to lob the missile and it was denied. Didn’t pass the proportionality test. When my husband dropped 4000 pounds of ordinance onto a missile battery he got a call from the JAG asking why he used 4000 pounds instead of 2000. 4000 was “overkill”. Of course, if the first 2000 pound bomb was a dud it would have been underkill and a lot of our guys would have died…the reason he dropped everything he had on it.

Dresden was how we won wars.

…but winning wars is not a good thing these days.

Perpetual war is far more profitable… both economically and politically.

“Trans athletes can compete in Olympics without gender reassignment surgery, IOC rules”

We have already learned that you ARE what you self-identify as… as two prominent “black” people have done recently. If you self-identify as a woman, even with 15 inches of swinging meat and biceps of steel, you are a woman… and may compete against other women as equals. Cool. Nothing like equality being taken to its theoretical extreme.

I, personally, self-identify as an astronaut which automatically means I will be going to the mooooon! Wahoooo! The moon, biitches!

I also self-identify as a gigolo studmuffin cack-doner… so all you hot little mamas can come git sum of this sweet, sweet brick shythouse of a man that I self-identify as.

…moving on…

“NBA team bans Lunar New Year of the Monkey t-shirts for racism”

When the TV commercial says this is “Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile”… it means they are worried sick that it probably is pretty much your father’s Oldsmobile… because, well, it IS your father’s Oldsmobile.

When people suddenly hyperventilate over innocent t-shirts celebrating a centuries-old Asian tradition predating contact with blacks, that everyone, for centuries, knew would be celebrated this year, one starts to suspect that the similarity between monkeys and black people is not just some bullshyt racist insult… but is actually a real thing that black people secretly know to be true. Hmmm.

Hey, if someone calls me a wombat, I just laugh… because I am not a wombat. If someone calls a black person a monkey, they get angry… so… what does this mean?

Should I now believe blacks and monkeys are the same thing because blacks believe they are similar to monkeys. OK. If that’s what you want me to believe, I will make the best of it.

Asians celebrate the year of the monkey which has nothing to do with black people… and black people can now dictate what animals the rest of the world discusses because they are worried they ARE their father’s simian Oldsmobile? Very well. I will keep this attitude in mind when dealing with black people.

Note to self: Black people think they are pretty much like monkeys… and they are sensitive about it… like the fat girl knowing she is fat or the guy with the short diick in gym class. Got it.

Of course this is all nonsense. Monkeys are small little primates. Black people are quite obviously more like gorillas.

And there is no Year of the Gorilla… so… problem solved.

NEXT!

“Jesus speaks thru GOPers mouths just as the GOPer Evangelicals or “Only Real Christians” do”

Of course. Democrats kill babies with sucking machines, allow dirty fags to marry, and want to ban the guns Jesus blessed everyone with. Ted Cruz will make the best GOP president ever… as, not only is the baby Jesus quite obviously on his side, but he will bring snakes to every White House Christian Revival and will be able to deliver UN speeches in tongues.

My work here is done.

Remember when Chickenhead wrongly claimed the dems controlled Michigan? Well, the truth is that the GOP governor kicked the Flint, MI Mayor out of office to be replaced by his own self-appointed GOPers who then fed the mostly minority(black) people lead in their water and now when there was a congressional hearing on the matter and Flint, MI people drove/were bussed to Washington guess who didn’t appear because the GOP led congress isn’t interested in fixing the lead water problem(but is interested in protecting the GOP Gov. Snyder instead of the children and their families who are still being asked to pay for hazardous water past & present). A master plumber says the fix will take about 3 years while the GOP Gov. Snyder says 15 years but..

Rick Snyder Wasn’t Asked To Testify At Congressional Hearing About Flint Water Crisis
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2016/02/03/3745785/flint-congress-hearing-snyder/
“On Wednesday, Congress will hear testimony from government officials and Flint residents about the years-long problem of contaminated water. Missing from the event, however, will be Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) as well as all of the emergency managers who were appointed to run the city over recent years…”

On the bright side, this could be the Social Justice Warriors’ Alamo.
Think of what this will do for government enforced quota systems of all types!
“Your company/organization/university isn’t diverse enough!”
“Oh, look again. We have a wide range of diversity…”
Wonder if this would work for the SEALS?
“This guy didn’t pass!”

“Remember when Chickenhead wrongly claimed the dems controlled Michigan?”

No… primarily because that wasn’t me.

…and, until this very moment, I have had little interest in Flint or Michigan.

Best I can tell, after sorting through a LOT of media misdirection, this mess started in 2002 due to shady contracts between Democratic leaders in Flint and a Democrat-owned consultation company urging Flint to change water suppliers… even though the new treatment facility would not be built in time and Flint’s backup supply, the polluted Flint river, would have to supply water until the switch was completed.

That doesn’t mean the Republican governor of Michigan isn’t a massive shytbag… because he is… for a number of reasons available upon request… but he didn’t start this problem.

Democrats started this problem due to corruption.

Republicans just hid the problem due to crony capitalism.

Breaking the rules here, I notice tbone only wants old white leaders for America–folks who want to return to the days of “Colored” water fountains.

And he reads a lot about homosexuals. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
