“The Nonsense of Biofuels…” Friday, Feb 24 2012 

Here’s another one over at Ace’s place worth the look.

That fairy dust green energy Obama (SCOAMF) is pushing for is a really, really stupid idea.

Nobel Prize biophysicist: “The Nonsense of Biofuels” [Fritzworth]

Ash Jogalekar (himself a scientist) reports at his website on a scientific editorial, “The Nonsense of Biofuels”, written by Hartmut Michel, who won the Nobel Prize for his own research into biophysics. The gist of Michel’s editorial (which is not accessible, Jogalekar’s link notwithstanding) is that there just isn’t enough efficiency in biophysical processes. Open it up for an extended quote from Jogalekar’s post.

All these hurdles lead to a rather drastic lowering of photosynthetic efficiency which gets watered down to a rather measly (but still staggeringly efficient by human standards) 4% or so.

Act of Valor… Friday, Feb 24 2012 

I wanted to see this movie before the liberals crapped all over themselves reviewing it. Now? I really need to go see this movie!

“Act of Valor” Wins Praise From Conservative Critics, Scorn From Liberal Ones

I wish I knew who said this — maybe @dancollins. He wrote something like, “Dear Stupid Critics, please bear in mind you’re reviewing a war movie, not a war.”

Critics can’t seem to tell the difference. Is this a movie about the War on Terror? Oh, I don’t like that. So a movie about it bad.

While critics attack this movie, where actual fighting men are the heroes, what do you imagine their reaction will be to the Obama Personally Kills Bin Ladin movie coming soon? Do you suspect, as I do, that shifting the locus of Heroism away from the icky soldiers and towards the effete, professorial douchebag in the Oval Office will cause them to realize, Clint Eastwood-style, that “some men just need killin’”?

Military Retirees Get Screwed… Friday, Feb 24 2012 

They can’t balance a budget. They slash the military’s budget. They go after the retirees to pay for the things that they were promised would be there after they did their 20 years, or better. It’s bad enough that they want to hike fees, but to do it by as much as 78% is criminal.

The Veterans did what was asked, now the government reneges on the deal. Typical.

From the Army Times:

Tricare costs would jump in budget plan
By Patricia Kime – Staff writer

Pentagon officials will continue pressing in 2013 for significantly higher Tricare fees for military retirees, including older retirees covered by Tricare for Life, as well as higher drug co-pays for all Tricare beneficiaries.

The Defense Department’s proposed 2013 budget calls for annual enrollment fees for retirees in Tricare Prime to rise next year by 30 percent to 78 percent, from the current $460 or $520 for families to between $600 and $820, depending on military retirement income.

“Working-age retirees” — those younger than 65 — also would pay annual enrollment fees for Tricare Standard and Extra: $70 for an individual and $140 for a family. These would be the first enrollment fees for Standard and Extra in Tricare history.

Deductibles for Standard and Extra also would rise by $10 for individuals and $20 for families.

Pure Evil: Thy Name is Lefist… Wednesday, Feb 22 2012 

Love this piece over at HillBuzz. Good read.

Isn’t It Time You Called the Tolerant Left What It Really Is: Pure Evil
by Kevin DuJan

I highly recommend Lori Ziganto’s latest essay, “Demagoguing Rape, Exploiting Victims: The Degenerate Left Continues to Use and Abuse Women”.

First off, notice how Ziganto never, ever uses the word “liberals” — unlike many conservative writers who very stupidly employ the term the Tolerant Left wants people to use, when called a Leftist a “liberal” is like calling a cockroach a “hug-a-bug” or a crimmigrant an “undocumented worker”.

Secondly, see how she calls out the Tolerant Left (which she calls “The Degenerate Left”) for being, well, EVIL. Which they are. But, just as too many conservative writers feel some strange need to use the term “liberal” (because idiot editors possibly might make them) instead of the more accurate “Leftist”, many people shy away from discussing true evil in the world — which honest to goodness really does exist.

Evil, in fact, has a way of reconstituting itself and mobilizing its forces at various times in history. I firmly believe the militarized ideological death cult of Islam is pure Evil manifesting itself on Earth — and the havoc and destruction that Muslims have wrought on the face of the Earth is solid evidence of that. No true religion’s holy books or scriptures contain blueprints for the conquest of other people and the torture and execution of those who will not submit to the religion’s mastery. Just Islam — which is more “manifestation of evil” than “religion of peace”.

Is There Hope for Kalifornia? Tuesday, Feb 21 2012 

With the new laws in Kalifornia that took away our right to open carry a gun, there may be a silver lining yet. Since this jacked up state is a “may issue” state, and we can no longer carry a gun openly in public, then maybe this is the window that we needed to get this into the SCOTUS. Our rights as citizens of the USA are constantly trampled on by the left. The left owns this state. We need an intervention from the SCOTUS to fix this now.

Gun owners hope to win the right to carry concealed weapons

In an unusual twist, optimism among California gun enthusiasts stems from recent legislation banning them from openly carrying even unloaded handguns.
By Carol J. Williams, Los Angeles Times

Chuck Michel’s strategy for crime-fighting rests on the element of surprise: Keep the bad guys guessing who’s armed and who’s not.

“If 5% of the ducks could shoot back, you’re not going to go duck hunting,” said the Long Beach lawyer representing many Californians denied concealed weapons permits and, in his view, their constitutional right to self-defense.

For decades, that argument has fallen flat in the courtroom. Judges have routinely held that denying permits to carry loaded firearms in public does not infringe on gun owners’ right to keep and bear arms.

But now, some gun owners hope that courts will soon reverse course and find that they have a right to secretly tote their weapons in public. Ironically, their optimism stems from a piece of gun control legislation that took effect last month and bans them from openly carrying even unloaded handguns.

Courts have upheld local law enforcement officials’ authority to deny concealed weapons permits in part because “you had the opportunity to openly carry an unloaded weapon and in the event of an emergency you can quickly load and defend yourself,” said Adam Winkler, a UCLA law professor and author of “Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.” “Now that option has been taken off the table.”

Fast and Furious Still Ignored by MSM… Monday, Feb 20 2012 

It’s still being ignored. Watergate was nothing compared to this. It is an absolute farce that Holder has not been impeached. Obama should be impeached if he is found to have any involvement in this obvious conspiracy on the part of this Administration’s DOJ.

They want your guns, so you can’t resist them. This was their moment in the sun. Unfortunately, in their eyes, they’ve been found out.

There needs to be an accounting. Holder is accountable for DOJ’s involvement from the get go, through the aftermath yet to be determined.

AP ‘top 10’ list confirms media still ignoring Fast and Furious story

“The killing of Osama bin Laden during a raid by Navy SEALs on his hideout in Pakistan was the top news story of 2011, followed by Japan’s earthquake/tsunami/meltdown disaster, according to The Associated Press’ annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors,” David Crary of the Associated Press reported, presenting the news agency’s top 10 stories for the year.

Fair enough. They were huge stories. The other stories selected were all noteworthy in their own ways as well, but there is one more that is remarkable in its absence from inclusion: Fast and Furious.

In Other Anti-Gun News… Friday, Feb 17 2012 

H/T Bob Owens.

We have this from the Washington Times. Teh Won is looking to backdoor the Second Amendment through his budget proposal. Wake the fuck up people. If the SCOAMF gets reelected he’s going after the Second Amendment on all fronts. He’ll have nothing to lose.

Obama’s fast and furious spin
Sneaky White House budget provisions undermine the Second Amendment

President Obama is using his budget to advance an anti-gun agenda just before the election. One particularly sneaky provision buried deep within his submission to Congress Monday would, if enacted, allow the mistakes of the “Fast and Furious” gun-walking scandal to be repeated.

In November, the president signed the Justice Department appropriations bill, which included language from Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, prohibiting federal agencies from facilitating the transfer of an operable firearm to an individual known or suspected to be in a drug cartel, unless they monitor the weapon at all times.

Now Mr. Obama is proposing to remove that provision from the 2013 spending bill, thus making it legal to revive gun-walking operations in the future. The White House justification is merely that the prohibition is “not necessary.”

Kalifornia’s Anti-Gun Policy Kills Innocent People… Friday, Feb 17 2012 

I hate this state’s stance on guns. It doesn’t do anything but get innocent people killed by criminals. The laws they have on the books do one thing, and one thing only. They diminish the rights of American citizens to own a gun and defend themselves against the assholes of society that are already breaking the law. Adding anti-gun laws only helps the criminals, and gang bangers in this state.
It is high time that this state be taken back from the liberal do gooders that have made this state a haven for criminals, gang bangers, illegal aliens and the like.

The politicians in this state are either armed, or have armed security with them and their families at all times. How is that representing the peoples’ will?

I could rant into next week on this, but it almost seems pointless in this commie infested state.

Here’s a rant worth reading:

Tales of the California Gun

Since I live in the “Peoples Republik of Kalifornia” I notice a lot of things that folks in other states don’t. I get a chance to see the drug war, the gang war, the class war and the illegal Immigration war first hand…. Funny how they are all connected here in CA…

In February (So far) there have been 13 declared murders NINE of which involved firearms. Now this is good news I guess because 4 of the 13 KILLED didn’t involve being shot. One was stabbed, one was bludgeoned and two were labeled as “Other”…

This doesn’t include the latest homicide in which an ICE agent shot another ICE agent.

Does anyone know where I’m heading with this? If you don’t you haven’t read my rants before so buckle up cause it’s gonna be a rough ride if you’re a Brady Campaign supporter….
