Note That This Book Is For ALL Muslims

Not just your Radical islamic taliban people types.  All of them and they can't keep it in stock.  Imagine that.

A local bookstore has “sold out” of a controversial marriage guide that advises Muslim men on how to beat their wives.

The 160-page book, published by Idara Impex in New Delhi, India, is written by Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, who’s described in the book’s foreword as a “prolific writer on almost every topic of Islamic learning.”

The store’s manager, who didn’t give his name, said the book had been sold out for some time, and the store’s owner, whom the manager identified as Shamim Ahmad, refused to comment for the story.

It wasn’t clear whether the shop has ordered more copies of the book, but it’s available at online Islamic bookstores and even through eBay.

In the book’s opening pages, it is written that “it might be necessary to restrain her with strength or even to threaten her.”

Later, its author advises that “the husband should treat the wife with kindness and love, even if she tends to be stupid and slow sometimes.”

The Whole Story

It Used to be That Taxes Ran the Government

Not so much anymore...

 

The IRS sent my Tax forms back! AGAIN!!! I guess it was because of my response to the question : "List all dependents?" I replied -"12 million illegal immigrants;"3 million crack heads;"42 million unemployable people on food stamps,"2 million people in over 243 prisons; "Half of Mexico; " 535 thieves in the U.S. House and Senate.” And the current residents of the White House as well as the Treasury Secretary that cheats on his taxes. Plus - since many of them don't  have SS numbers, or a valid SS number, they are ineligible to list as dependents !

Do Not Cheat on Taxes, Because the IRS is ALL Over It.

Excerpt from this article

First, thieves obtain Social Security numbers and other personal information from insiders at hospitals, doctor's offices, car dealerships or anywhere the information is stored. Then, they file an online tax return using the real taxpayer's name and a fictitious income. In most cases, the criminals buy a debit card so the IRS can issue the refund on that card, although some thieves have also gotten their returns on actual Treasury checks.

The thieves know that the IRS does not verify the employer W-2s sent with the return until after the refund is issued.

It is a particular problem in the state of Florida, according to law enforcement officials.

"We can't go ... two days in a row without making a traffic stop, and there's going to be tax return fraud in the car," Catlin said. "We could stop an 18-year-old kid who's got five (debit) cards. The average is $5,000 per card. So they'll have $25,000, which is really cash, even though it's on debit cards."

And it's not just small-time criminals, he said.

"We have other cases that range up to $100 million where subjects have opened up corporations and bank accounts and business accounts," Catlin said. "And they're receiving millions of dollars from the IRS that are all fraudulent."

end of excerpt

Stick a fork in the IRS.  Really. Simplify the taxing, eliminate the yearly filing exercise in paper pulp masturbation.

I swear well over 60-70% of the money we send to the government is stolen, laundered, wasted, fraudulently paid out, or otherwise deployed into negative return on investment venues.  And there are people who think taxes should be raised.

Good Lord !

2012 Election Primer

He didn't do a damn thing he said he would.

He won't do a damn thing he says he will now.

You still support him.  Is it because:

a. You like to be surprised.

b. You're a moron.

c. You have the brain of a one celled creature and get all your opinions from people who barely scraped through college, if that, with a degree in .....communications......

d. You think having no accomplishments is a good thing.

e. You like having the most corrupt administration ever remain in power..

f. You like having the most incompetent clownish administration in power.

g. You like to have America as the laughing stock of the world.

h. You really don't care about anything as long as the government checks keep rolling in and keep your nose above water.

i. All of the above.

I think the answer is probably h or i, as in 'you', not me, because I can see and I'm ready for SOMETHING ELSE.  PERFORMANCE perhaps.  RESULTS!.  You know - things TALENTED, EXPERIENCED PEOPLE DELIVER !  Thousands of People, in positions far less than Leader of the Free World Deliver these things Day After Day After Day.

Sad Day

I just read on the site of one of my Great Reads - NeptunusLex that he has been killed in a fighter crash while landing.

"Lex, aka Carrol Lefon, crashed at NAS Fallon apparently during a landing. His Israeli F-21 Kfir jet impacted the side of a depot building and traveled about halfway in but did not explode though it may have caught fire for a short time. He apparently did not eject as most likely he wanted to avoid harm to others.

There has been no official announcement of the crash or its details from the Naval Air Station or ATAC as the investigation continues but the results remain the same and we all have lost a dear friend."

And this from a post just yesterday regarding a harrowing episode upon landing.

I don't know this man, and have only been reading his blog for several months, but I have to say I have tremendous respect for the man as well as his abilities at writing, giving us 'back seat' views about flying jets, and his takes on all things about Life in America. This is such a loss.

In the spirit of celebrating a person's life: If you haven't read it yet, I stumbled upon this compilation posted at his site that gives one an incredible view into life as a Naval Aviator on a Carrier. http://www.neptunuslex.com/rhythms-the-compendium/

I hope the site stays up, there is so much there to read and celebrate about this gentleman.

Some of my first thoughts include wondering why the good guys are being taken from us. Lex was a White Hat among White Hats. Memorials are being posted all over the place such as Blackfive, also on the right sidebar.

I have to say, his is one blog that you could read from post number 1 to the present and not feel like you wasted any time regardless of your interest in Jet Fighters.

Sad day..

Update: Not that it will bring this man back to his family, but there have now been some follow up stories and this picture of the accident scene.
It appears multiple mechanical failures were a part of this accident.
It looks like the drag chute is 5 or 10? %  deployed.
The landing gear is retracted, maybe it retracted after impact with the building(Seems unlikely with locking mechanisms designed in) but if not, then there was no ability to steer the aircraft on the ground, so why stay in it? If that's true, did the ejection seat mechanism also fail?
An investigation is in progress, and I have no doubt whatever  facts are available will be brought to the surface.

Civilized Discourse

It's what the libtards are yearning for..... (It's the other yellow meat?)

You mean like when oblabber gave McCain and every other political opponent in the 08 election the not so stealth FINGER on National TV?

Or when oblabber called Sarah Palin out for being a Pig with Lipstick? (and his sick little F followers howled like monkeys?)

Or when his media dipstick tools used every piece of foul language about Sarah Palin and every other political opponent in the run up to the election?!?!?

And Sarah Palin - regardless of anything else was the Governor of Alaska, a good women, wife, and Mother. Not some paid tool slut of a "Georgetown Law Student" who apparently values sex more than food, or is so stupid she doesn't realize she pays more for food than for BC pills and/or condoms, let alone doesn't ask her male partners to help with the sex costs? Does she pick up the tab for dinner too ?

That kind of civilized discourse ?????

Maybe I need it Splained to me.

Regards my Post of March 3rd

obama says "We have Israel's back". That's his main message out of his meetings with Israel's PM 5-March-2012.

What kind of ghetto rapper talk is that anyway?  It's not presidential.  It's Slang.  It's like back during the BP Oil Spill Crises he came back from vacation and said "I'm gonna find someone's ass to kick".  All he needed to do was look in the mirror on that one since he was the main obstacle to clean up operations.

Anyway, imagine what JFK would have said 'An attack on Israel will be regarded as an attack on the United States, and the United States will respond to any such attack with over-whelming force".

Ronald Reagan would likely have said. "If Iran wants a very serious conflict with the United States, that the United States will be fully committed to winning, then it should continue on it's current path, up to the point where it is about to use a nuclear weapon on another country in an unprovoked attack".  Or something like that.  

Neither JFK or Ronald Reagan would have left any question as to the consequences of Iran's expected future actions.  It's the responsible thing to do!  Imagine you're a Mom and you say to your son, There Might be consequences to your eating all the cookies.  Absurd.

Hell, they wouldn't even be building a bomb with Reagan in the White House.  Remember the Iranian hostages were released the Very Day Ronald Reagan took office.


It's truly unreal what we've devolved into as a country.

The video speaks for itself.

It IS the media. There will Always be barry sotero's and nana pelosi's and all the rest.  It is the media that keeps them in power. Without media support, the communist education system would also be defanged. It's the media.

So, I Wonder How It Will Go This Time
