Joe Biden Wears Gay Pride Flag As Cape In Viral Parody : Marc Belisle

A popular parody Twitter account of America's Second Lady, Jill Biden, tweeted that 'her' husband, Vice President Joe Biden, was running around the White House, wearing a gay pride flag as a cape.

While many of the parody account's followers realized that this was a joke, the tweet began going viral, racking up tens of thousands of retweets. Some commenters may not have gotten the joke, and some wanted a picture.

A tweeter who goes by Darth!, and who apparently has mad Photoshop skills, responded with an image of what the Vice President, decked out as a frolicking gay Superman, would in fact look like. And it is glorious.                                                             https://twitter.com/darth/status/614468582022467584/photo/1                                                                             http://reverbpress.com/discovery/living/entertainment/satire/joe-biden-wears-gay-pride-flag-cape-viral-parody/

Korea’s Struggling Gay Movement Celebrates #LoveWins #동성결혼 :Marc;Belisle

Today's ruling by the Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states will reverberate socially and politically not only across America, but across planet Earth. This was evident on Twitter, especially from Tweets coming out of South Korea. The Korean phrase 동성결혼 , "gay marriage," was among the highest trending phrases in the world on Twitter, even hours after the decision. Most of the tweets celebrated or expressed awe.

Today's ruling must seem like a beacon of hope to activists struggling from the underground in Seoul. While an American court ruled that gays are universally allowed to marry Friday, earlier this month a Korean court ruled that gays are allowed to have a parade. This was seen as a huge victory. Conservative Christian groups in South Korea threatened to attack the parade-goers, and Seoul police sought to ban the parade. They said it was too dangerous. But the gay activists won their first skirmish... Korea is having its Stonewall moment.

The Stonewall riots of 1969 were the first step in the American gay community's long, arduous journey toward public acceptance and equality. The Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village was one of the few places where the gay community could congregate in some semblance of openness. The establishment was raided by police, but those there drew a line in the sand and fought back. And here we are today, 46 years later.

Something similar is happening in Korea. The gay community has a vibrant underground life in Seoul, but it is very hush-hush. I lived in South Korea for four years teaching English, and I encountered Koreans, especially outside of the cities, who would insist that there were no gays in the country. The subject rarely came up, but when it did, it seemed to make the skin crawl on mainstream society.

Korea was originally a Buddhist country, but today, it is nearly 30% Christian evangelists. It is the second most Christian country in Asia — after the Philippines — and the second most Protestant evangelist country in the world outside of the United States. The Christians can be quite aggressive. As a white American man living in Korea, evangelists would often assume that I was an active Christian, and they would occasionally chase me down the street, waving pamphlets in my face, trying to convince me to join their church.

The Buddhists are infinitely more low key about their religion. Two consecutive Christian presidents who, like George W. Bush, pandered heavily to the evangelists for political power, have given them an outsized influence. The growing gay movement is something of a chicken and egg relationship. As the evangelists have grown more vocal, the gay movement has begun to fight back, and vice versa.                                                   http://reverbpress.com/world/struggling-gay-movement-side-world-celebrates-lovewins/

Criminal Shoots Cop – Friend Defends Action saying “He ain’t do no Wrong – He just Shot a Cop” : By Onan Coca

I can't even...

This is the sickness that has developed in our culture – a man shoots a police officer in cold blood and a friend of his defends him to the media by saying, "Because to me he ain't do no wrong — he just shot a cop. And then everybody comes around when they shoot a cop. But when the cop shoots people, do they come around?"      http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/24/friend-of-man-who-shot-detective-says-he-didnt-do-anything-wrong-he-just-shot-a-cop-video/

Our upset over modern understanding of overly aggressive police officers has reached a fever pitch, and it is leading us down a dangerous road. Baltimore is a good example of the dangers of neutering a police force by blaming them for all of society's ills. Crime in Baltimore has skyrocketed since the death of Freddie Gray some months ago, and there doesn't seem to be any easy fix on the horizon.

I sympathize with the argument that our police officers have grown (generally) more aggressive in recent years and perhaps our local police have even gone too far in militarizing... but our cultures' response has swung too far in the opposite direction. Our heroic police officers are now looked upon dubiously, and in some cases, even derisively. Good police officers are no longer given the benefit of the doubt by the media and those on the Left. All too often our police officers are treated as if they were the criminals instead of as the protectors most of them truly are.

No example of this rings truer than the words of Stephanie King on Milwaukee's local news station WISN earlier this week.

"I'm going to keep loving him. Because to me he ain't do no wrong — he just shot a cop. And then everybody comes around when they shoot a cop. But when the cop shoots people, do they come around?"

President Obama Continues to Sabotage Race Relations in America : By Gary Fouse

This week, we were once again treated to an example of President Obama's negative contribution to race relations in this country. During an interview with Marc Maron, Obama used the n-word and said that racism was part of our DNA.

It is not the use of the n-word that I object to though I maintain that the word should have disappeared from our lexicon by now except for its embrace by rap artists and other blacks who have incorporated it into their street language. Obama, for his part, used it in the proper context.

I do object, however, to his saying that racism is part of our DNA. He should have saved those words for Jeremiah Wright, in whose church he sat for 20 years. The President's words are a slap in the face of a nation whose people have worked hard for 60 years or so to transform a nation whose institutions were, in fact, racist so dramatically. They were a slap in the face of the good citizens of Charleston, who came together so positively after the horrific slayings of last week.

Even those who voted against Obama in 2008 had hoped that his election might turn a page in our sad racial history. Instead, this man and his minions-people like Eric Holder- have taken us back decades to a place we thought we would never see again. Now too many of us, black and white, are looking at each other with suspicion and blaming each other for Ferguson, Baltimore, and other places that have seen tragic events unfold.

Bill in church

A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking.

Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance,
trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for Bill Clinton who sat calmly in his pew without moving,
seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan walked up to Bill and said,
"Do you know who I am?"
The Clinton replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't." said the calm as a clam Clinton.
"Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?" asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned Bill, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you are still not afraid?" asked Satan.
"Nope," said Bill.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
Bill Clinton calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 30 years."
NOW SHE WANTS TO 'ADOPT' AMERICA TO BE PART OF HER FAMILY......OH, THE HORROR.....

Cheers To The Magna Carta Dr. Andrew Mitchell :

It's the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, causing thoughtful Americans who care deeply about scutage, darrein presentment, or the standard width of haberject, to raise their voices in loud acclamation.

The rest of us, however, are left wondering: What does it matter that one June day in 1215 at Runnymede in Merrie Olde England, King John affixed his signature to a document that effectively summed up the political and religious disaster his 17-year reign had become?

John's troubles began several years before with a series of diplomatic defeats, losing territory and prestige in disputes with Pope Innocent III and the king of France. Witnessing John's international debacles, several English nobles decided to test whether he was just as incompetent a ruler at home. He was. Within months of civil war breaking out, mounting debt had crippled John and forced him to "negotiate" with his rebellious barons by mid-summer 1215.

The bulk of the Great Charter's articles dealt with social and legal privileges benefitting nobles and "freemen" of the realm, while others ensured standard weights and measures throughout the kingdom. The barons had no interest in abolishing royal authority. Rather, they sought to preserve it by keeping it within customary limits (or by creating a council of barons that would effectively keep John from trespassing on real or perceived limits ever again).

For all the barons' domination, theirs was but a hollow victory. First, the Pope absolved John of having to comply with his vassals' demands, since oaths taken under duress have no legal standing. Second, while subsequent monarchs reissued the Great Charter on their accession, its terms were frequently ignored or violated.

Indeed, the Magna Carta would be completely irrelevant were it not for members of the House of Commons, who, in June 1628, used the Charter as one of several pieces of evidence in their ongoing dispute with King Charles I over the nature of royal power. They baldly asserted that they had inherited those liberties bestowed nearly 420 years ago, and thus the aforementioned limits on the king were still relevant.

Parliament's ultimate success against the Crown in the civil wars of the 17th century kept this legacy alive and, in so doing, laid the foundation for what is known as "the Whig interpretation of history." Those who subscribe to this position triumphantly point to the Magna Carta as that stone, which John and Innocent rejected, that became the cornerstone of the British Constitution, buttressed by the Petition of Right (1628) and the Bill of Rights (1689), and established constitutional monarchy as the right-thinking form of government for all humanity—at least until some upstart Englishmen across the ocean claimed to have a better idea.

While critiquing the Whig interpretation of history is a healthy exercise, it is important to remember that the Magna Carta has provided English-speaking peoples with the foundational vocabulary of classical liberalism, even though the definitions have altered significantly.

The Magna Carta talks of rights, but these are not Lockean Natural Rights, given to individuals through the unmediated powers of their Creator. Quite the contrary, the opening articles of the Magna Carta clearly assert that rights come from God (not "the Creator") to the king who then bestows them, not to individuals, but to communities. All these communal, inherited rights come with duties attached to them. If any community failed to uphold their obligations, their freedoms would be jeopardized–and not only for themselves, but for their descendants, too.

Under this definition of rights, we are all born under a great debt to every generation of ancestors that has kept up their end of the bargain. For what price can you place upon such a gift, and how can one say "thank you" in any meaningful way to the dead? The only thing left is to live in such a way that you wouldn't become the very ones who failed to live up to the ancestral standards. It is essential to observe here that fulfilling one's duties was what made one free.

Nearly the same amount of time has elapsed between the Petition of Right and Magna Carta as between 1628 and 2015. Much like the legal documents of the 17th century, we too find ourselves using the language of our ancestors, although in quite different ways. Even a brief reflection on the use of "liberties" as used by these older documents will find that it runs contrary to nearly every institutional understanding of liberty in America today. We have completely altered, though not yet abolished, these old definitions. We have gotten rid of the burden of feeling indebted, and therefore being obligated, to others as a condition of our freedom; and it behooves one to ask: Have our new natural and inalienable individual rights—ours without any obligation or need to care about anyone save ourselves—made life more stable, more meaningful, more enjoyable?

So raise your glass of cider, ale, or mead, to this remarkable document and to the even more remarkable vision of English-speaking communities who for generations knew their freedoms to be conditional gifts, and who saw in sacrifice the only acceptable means of preserving them. Then go, and be thankful.

Cheers.                                                                                                                                            http://www.westernjournalism.com/cheers-to-the-magna-carta/?utm_campaign=54ebe14371e7fc692400399a&utm_source=BoomTrain&utm_medium=email&utm_content=recommended&bt_alias=eyJ1c2VySWQiOiIzYTBhMjU0YS1kMjM1LTQzNTctYjFiZi05YzBiNzk1Y2JjZDAifQ%3D%3D 

Supreme Court destroyed legal credibility with Obamacare decision: Cops : Jim Kouri

Once again, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the Obamacare tax subsidies under President Barack Obama's arguably big government Affordable Care Act of 2010, in a ruling that, while allows it healthcare for millions of low-income Americans, is increasing premium costs and deductable for middle-class working families who now struggle to keep their coverage or find a new insurer.

Many believe Judge Roberts is a major disappointment and a closet leftist who wants to prop up a failed and dishonest president.

But a number of veteran police officials and prosecutors believe that the Supreme Court is damaging its credibility with each passing day. Some believe that such a court is obviously open to using the U.S. Constitution to achieve the goals of politicians such as Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and other so-called closeted socialists.

The justices decision was 6-3, with Chief Justice John Roberts who admitted in the ruling that he didn't want to dismantle ACA also called Obamacare. This ruling follows a number of others that have provided legal victories for the socialism-leaning Barack Obama in decisions that are considered more political than constitutional.

The Supreme Court has provided Obama with his most significant domestic victories. While most media outlets covered the Obamacare decision, few of those news outlets mentioned that on the same Thursday the court ruled in favor of Obama's housing law which even liberals found an unexpected victory that saves what the administration uses to fight housing bias.

This decision, like those having to do with law enforcement and criminal justice, is nothing but one branch of government with nine unelected, black robed lawyers -- who spend more time during confirmation hearings trying to fool the Senators and the American people -- propping up a failed left-wing president who possesses a history of ties with communists and radical Democrats, according to a former NYPD detective and criminal justice professor, S. Johnson Brecker.

"Notice that when a Republican president appoints a judge who tries to sound conservative to the nation's highest court, somehow they seem to move to the liberal-left side of the panel. I can't remember one instance when a Democrat appointed a judge to the Supreme Court and that person moved to the right, which is a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution," added Iris Aquino, a former police undercover investigator. "Roberts is just that kind of conservative we see frequently: talk conservative but rule progressive," she said.                                                                           http://www.examiner.com/article/supreme-court-destroyed-legal-credibility-with-obamacare-decision-cops

U.S. Embassy Reveals These Important Items Were Just Stolen From A Truck In Mexico : James Beattie

As U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) notes, a Border Crossing Card (BCC) "is acceptable as a stand-alone document (by itself) only for travel from Mexico by land, or by pleasure vessel or ferry. Together with a valid passport, though, it meets the documentary requirements for entry at all land, air, and sea ports of entry (to include travel from Canada)."

An electronic alert was issued so stolen cards cannot be used at the border, and the AP pointed out that cards were re-issued for their targeted holders. They were also advised of the incident in the event of any attempted identity theft.                           http://www.westernjournalism.com/u-s-embassy-reveals-these-important-items-were-just-stolen-from-a-truck-in-mexico/?utm_source=MailChimp&utm_medium=email&utm_content=featured-stories&utm_campaign=DailyEmail06.25.15
