Darn tootin'
Facebook needs to get with the program.
At the Verve, "Facebook clarifies real name policy amid LGBT protests: Drag queens will be able to post under their stage names, the company says."

Bwahaha! Walter James Casper Tweets Batshit Crazy Mahablog's Deranged Ravings on Oklahoma Beheader
Poor Reppy.
The guy's got no self-control with that retweet button. Man, sometimes you gotta rein in the impulses to share, lest you look even more of a loon than you normally do. I mean, Mahablog? That lady Barbara O'Brien is clinical.
"Borderline personality disorder"? Jeebus!
Meanwhile, at NBC, "Oklahoma Beheading Suspect Denied Bond, Asks for Muslim Lawyer."
Yes, the suspect asked for a "Muslim lawyer," despite the left's unhinged claims that the beheading wasn't religiously motivated.
Freakin' morons.

Embattled U.S. Secret Service Director Julia Pierson Resigns
The lapses at the Secret Service are absolutely astonishing. Director Pierson's resignation should be just the first in a major shakeup across the responsible agencies, including DHS.

Governor Jerry Brown Signs Plastic Bag Ban Into Law
This won't "protect the environment."
All it does is inconvenience consumers and make idiot environmentalists feel good about themselves.
Have your canvas, bacteria-encrusted reusable bags ready at all times.
At LAT, "Gov. Brown signs phase-out of single-use plastic bags in stores."
Before long we'll all be eating green shoots and granola. And liking it!

Maria Fernandes, 32-Year-Old Dunkin' Donuts Worker, Touted as Symbol of America's Low-Wage Workers
Remember the left's "The Pity Party"?
Here's a case study (or yet another case study in the left's pity party shakedown socialist scam).
At the New York Times, "For a Worker With Little Time Between 3 Jobs, a Nap Has Fatal Consequences":
Her death was ruled an accident. We could have 100 percent economic equality, and this woman still could have died in an accident like this.
Here's a case study (or yet another case study in the left's pity party shakedown socialist scam).
At the New York Times, "For a Worker With Little Time Between 3 Jobs, a Nap Has Fatal Consequences":
“She would give anyone anything she could.” — Glen Carter, 33.Keep reading.
Maybe she poured you a cup of hot coffee, right before you rushed off to catch your afternoon train. Maybe you noticed her huddled over an empty table in the station, dozing in the lonesome hours between one shift and another.
Her name was Maria Fernandes. She was 32 years old. And long before her face flashed across the evening news, she worked amid the throngs of passengers in the heart of Newark’s Pennsylvania Station, serving pumpkin lattes and toasted bagels, and dreaming of life somewhere else.
She dreamed of the bustling streets of Los Angeles and the leafy towns of Pennsylvania. She dreamed of working two jobs, not three. She dreamed of sleeping, really sleeping, for six or seven hours at a stretch.
But dreams rarely pay the rent. So Ms. Fernandes worked three jobs, at three Dunkin’ Donuts stores in northern New Jersey, shuttling from Newark to Linden to Harrison and back. She often slept in her car — two hours here, three hours there — and usually kept the engine running, ready in an instant to start all over again.
The last day of her life was no different. She got off work at 6 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 25, and climbed into her 2001 Kia Sportage, officials from the Elizabeth Police Department said. She was dreaming again, this time about taking a break to celebrate a milestone with friends. But first, she told her boyfriend, Mr. Carter, during a brief cellphone conversation, she was going to take a nap.
She pulled into the parking lot of a Wawa convenience store, reclined in the driver’s seat and closed her eyes. The store’s surveillance camera videotaped her arrival at 6:27 a.m.
Detectives would pore over those tapes after her body was found later that day. It was the last image that anyone would see of her alive.
“She liked her jobs; she never complained.” — Jessenia Barra, 28.
In death, Ms. Fernandes has been held up as a symbol of the hardships facing our nation’s army of low-wage workers. Her friends say she earned little more than $8.25 an hour — New Jersey’s minimum wage — and passed her days and nights in a blur of iced coffees and toasted breakfast sandwiches, coffee rolls and glazed jelly doughnuts.
You might remember her dark eyes and that smile when she handed your change across the counter. She worked afternoons in Newark, overnights in Linden and weekends in Harrison.
In a statement, Michelle King, a spokeswoman for Dunkin’ Brands, said that Ms. Fernandes’s managers described her as a “model” employee. (Ms. King said she could not say how much Ms. Fernandes earned or describe the specific hours she worked, saying that only the three franchisees that directly employed Ms. Fernandes had that information. Ms. King declined to provide contact information for those franchisees.)
Her death was ruled an accident. We could have 100 percent economic equality, and this woman still could have died in an accident like this.
Ferguson Remains a City on the Brink

Beauty Town has an elaborate video surveillance system that displays 16 angles of the store, but the cameras are better at capturing crime than at preventing it.Keep reading.
The beauty shop has been looted multiple times since a white Ferguson police officer shot an unarmed black man Aug. 9. Last week, during another round of unrest on West Florissant Avenue, a group of young men broke the front windows and raided the shelves and cash register.
Owner Shawn Kim thinks 99% of the people who live around his shop are good people.
For the rest, he’s bought a gun. Just in case.
If the grand jury fails to indict the officer who killed Michael Brown, almost everyone here thinks things will get worse.
“They’re not going to be looting next time,” said Kevin Seltzer, 30, who lives at an apartment complex near where Brown, 18, was shot. “They’re going to burn the city down.”
Far from finding peace after a round of summer protests and riots, Ferguson remains a city on the brink, its nearly every step troubled. The last week has been especially fraught.

Poll: Three in Four Americans Don't Trust Obama's 'No Ground Troops' Pledge in Fight Against #ISIS
Well, no surprise.
It's all lies all the time from this White House. Indeed, if and when Obama does commit ground troops he'll try to weasel his way out of the "no ground troops" pledge he's made numerous times (remember how he weaseled on his "red line" on Syria's chemical weapons use?). We've seen him do it dozens of times. Just wait for it, the freakin' dirtbag.
At the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg survey, at WSJ, "Poll Shows Americans Expect U.S. to Send Troops to Fight Islamic State":
Still more at the link.
Brace yourself for more Obama-Democrat lies in the meanwhile.

We've seen him do it dozens of times. Just wait for it, the freakin' dirtbag.
At the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg survey, at WSJ, "Poll Shows Americans Expect U.S. to Send Troops to Fight Islamic State":
Nearly three-quarters of Americans don’t believe President Barack Obama’s assertion that the country won’t use ground troops to fight the militant group Islamic State in Iraq or Syria, the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg survey finds.Ironically, if he'd just tell the truth he'd have the support of the American people for his anti-terror policy. As it is fully 45 percent of Americans now support ground troops "if military officials determined it was the 'best way to defeat the ISIS army'." Imagine how high that number would go if Obama evinced some real presidential leadership on these issues.
The poll shows a substantial lack of trust in Mr. Obama’s repeated assertions that American military efforts will be limited to airstrikes and other efforts that don’t include ground troops. Some 72% of registered voters surveyed said U.S. ground troops eventually will be deployed against Islamic State’s fighters. Only 20% said they believe the U.S. won’t end up using military ground forces.
The Obama administration has cautioned that the battle against Islamic State won’t be won quickly. It has said it will proceed with an international coalition and that the U.S. won’t commit ground troops to combat.
“I want to be clear: The American forces that have been deployed to Iraq do not and won’t have a combat mission,” Mr. Obama said Sept. 17. “As your commander in chief, I won’t commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.”
Still more at the link.

The 'B-Word' Embargo
Well, most assailants are people of color, and of course plenty of them are black, but to mention the race of the perp is racism!
Mad Jewess Woman, Expose Liberals and a few others never hesitate to publicize the race of these criminals, mainly because everyone else refuses to.
And now here comes Jazz Shaw, at Hot Air, as if this is something new, "The media embargo on “the B word”."
It's not like there's a shortage of examples, or anything.
At the Other McCain, for instance, "Arrest in Hannah Graham Case."
