  3. Illinois House of Representatives passes veto proof bill allowing concealed carry… Watch for Chicago’s murder rate to fall:
    “Illinois is now poised to join the 49 other states in America by throwing its antiquated prohibition on self-defense outside the home into the dustbin of history. The Illinois Senate passed HB183 earlier today by a margin of 45-12-1”

    “Detroit Citizens Protect Themselves After Police Force Decimated”
    “As crime hobbles Detroit (9845MF)’s attempts to revive itself, the city is bolstering its police department by having unarmed citizens patrol the streets in a program that costs less than annual salaries and benefits for three officers.
    Volunteers given radios and matching T-shirts help officers protect neighborhoods where burglaries, thefts and thugs drive away people who can’t rely on a police force that lost a quarter of its strength since 2009. With 25 patrols on the streets, the city hopes to add three each year. Meanwhile, the homicide rate continues rising.”

    “You’ll be able to drive from L.A. to New York in a Tesla electric car by the end of 2013, says founder”
    “Tesla drivers will be able to drive from Los Angeles to New York using the electric car company’s Supercharger network by the end of this year, CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday night at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital Conference.
    The network, which currently consists of only nine active stations, seven of which are in California, was already set to increase to 100 stations by 2015.
    Instead, Tesla is planning “a dramatic acceleration of the Supercharging network,” Musk said at the conference. “It’ll be tripled. We’ll put the map live tomorrow.””

  17. Yeah !! The Greens can now celebrate the real greening of the earth !!
    Rising CO2 levels are resulting in a greener earth – exactly what the greens want.
    [ Scientists have long suspected that a flourishing of green foliage around the globe, observed since the early 1980s in satellite data, springs at least in part from the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere. Now, a study of arid regions around the globe finds that a carbon dioxide “fertilization effect” has, indeed, caused a gradual greening from 1982 to 2010.]
    http://www.agu.org/news/press/pr_archives/2013/2013-24.shtml
    Couple this with the revelation that CO2 is an inconsequential greenhouse gas and the greens truly do have a reason to celebrate.
    For the greens, and everyone else, happy days are here again !!
    Happy days are here again
    The skies above are clear again
    So let’s sing a song of cheer again
    Happy days are here again

  18. Yes !! Tree Huggers of the world are elated !! Their trees love rising levels of atmospheric CO2. So much so that they are spreading their love.
    [ “Trees are reinvading grasslands, and this could quite possible be related to the carbon dioxide effect,” Donahue said. “Long lived woody plants are deep rooted and are likely to benefit more than grasses from an increase in carbon dioxide.”]

    Excerpt from Steyn’s article:

    Although acting (IRS) commissioner Steven Miller apologized for the “horrible customer service” conservative taxpayers had gotten, a gentleman by the name of Malik Obama received impeccable, express service when he took the precaution of mailing in his non-profit application from N’giya, Kenya, rather than notoriously slower mail processing centers such as Phoenix and Dallas. Malik, the brother of President Obama, runs the Barack H. Obama Foundation, named for the president’s father. On May 30, 2011, they applied for tax-exempt status, and had their approval signed less than a month later by Lois Lerner herself, and conveniently backdated by Lois to cover the two-and-a-half years the enterprising Malik had already been raking in “tax-deductible” donations from Americans. The Washington address of the Barack H. Obama Foundation appears to be bogus, and it’s not clear whether the funds are being used back in Kenya for anything other than supporting the famously lavish lifestyle of Malik and his twelve wives.

  23. This is odd.
    I took a look at the articles about the Ornge helicopter crash at the CBC,G&M,APTN,Toronto Star,and the local Thunder Bay news outlet. The Thunder Bay news covers that region and has a heavy focus on native news.
    The articles contain condolences from various political figures including one from the Grand Chief of the area. The paramedic station at Attawapiskat has also been contacted.
    Yet not one word from Chief Spence. Six weeks ago or so many residents of Attawapiskat were evacuated and then returned because of floods. At the time of the evacuation a band spokesman said that she was unavailable that week.She was not around when the people were returned a couple of weeks later either. She is MIA on this story also.
    Spence was the darling of the media and the ‘progressives’ just six months ago. Why is no one asking questions about her today?

    “Monuments to ugliness and the triumph of cash over culture
    From Leo Lewis in Tokyo
    JAPAN’S most senior urban planning expert, who decries almost every city in his country as “hideous”, has devoted two years to drawing up a list of the nation’s most repulsive places.”
    “Runners-up in the 70-strong cavalcade of eyesores include a shopping arcade in the former coal mining town of Omuta, in which every shop has been boarded up, and a site in Yashio where Yakuza gangsters have muscled their way into a small residential street and established an industrial waste dump.
    Near the top of the list is the valley of Kinugawa, a once stunning hot-spring town where, in the 19th century, the wealthiest city dwellers would escape the stench of the summer. In the booming 1970s scores of hotels were built astride the valley — immediately destroying its appeal. When everyone stopped visiting, the hotels went bust and now stand as crumbling testament to the awfulness of bubble-era construction.
    BIGGEST EYESORES
    1 Nihombashi Bridge and the flyover from hell
    2 Kawaguchi Station the most chaotic bicycle park in Japan
    3 Kinugawa the ghost town the bubble built
    4 Omuta city the shopping arcade of a thousand bankruptcies
    5 Hamarikyu Gardens built for an emperor, but collects all the flotsam in Tokyo Bay
    6 Fuefuki discount shopping centre the most garish in all Japan
    7 Utsunomiya station the nest of the loan sharks
    8 Akasaka ghost house not a square inch without graffiti
    9 Shibuya river where even the water rats fear to tread
    10 Yashio the industrial dump next door
    Kinugawa the ghost town the bubble built? This I had to see. What follows, then, is a composite account of four separate visits between mid-March and mid-May: two solo day trips by car, one day trip by train in the company of an old friend from the UK, and finally one solo weekend trip, with every visit yielding another patina of decay.”

    “The liberal elite’s gift to Rob Ford”
    “There seem to be two schools of thought among those who don’t believe that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was, as has been alleged, filmed smoking crack cocaine. One school insists that, as Mr. Ford has said, “there is no video.” The other school, which, according to a Forum Research poll, includes nearly 50 per cent of those living in the inner suburbs, believes that any such recording is a fake.”

  28. Ich Bin Ein National Socialist: Vorwart#
    Leftists/communists are silent in complicity.
    “Just as in Weimar Germany, when Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ party rose from obscurity, opponents have remained eerily quiet. Until last week, when the 92-year-old poet Nanos Valaoritis deplored Golden Dawn as “having all the characteristics of the party which led Germany to destruction”, few in Greece’s political or intellectual elite had been willing to take on the extremists.”

    “Judge who earlier ruled National Security Letters unconstitutional orders Google to nonetheless comply with them”
    “A US judge has ordered Google to comply with FBI secret demands for customer data, despite earlier ruling the warrantless orders unconstitutional.
    District court judge Susan Illston this week rejected the internet search giant’s argument that so-called National Security Letters (NSLs) violated its constitutional rights. As such it ordered Google to hand over private information relating to US citizens to federal agents.”
