You have got to watch this!

UPDATE: My Leatherneck informs me that this pilot is a MARINE. Semper Fi!

I am not going to give you any spoilers. Just WATCH THIS. You might want to grab a tissue first.

Spectacular Salsa – Paddy & Nico – Electric Ballroom | Britain’s Got Talent 2014

This is from the About Us page @ http://www.monsterenergy.com/#!/pages%3Aabout: “In short, at Monster all our guys walk the walk in action sports, punk rock music, partying, hangin’ with the girls, and living life on the edge. Monster is way more than an energy drink. Led by our athletes, musicians, employees, distributors and fans, Monster is… A lifestyle in a can.”

So yeah … maybe the 666 and phi and “unleash the beast” actually do add up to a company that actively embraces sin.

I want to read this book!

Jennifer Fulwiler on EWTN’s Bookmark talking about her new book

The 2014 Cross Examination Debate Association’s national championship featured an all-African-American-female team from Towson University against an all-African-American-male team from the University of Oklahoma. The girls won.

But declaring these students — whose debate skills are typified by this actual quote, “War powers should not be used on niggers, y’all” — to be the best in the nation was not a win for African Americans or females.  It was a loss for America generally and for college debate specifically.

You have to watch these clips from the national championship debate to believe just how BAD these two teams really were.

In other WTF news, a federal health board has ended a ban on Medicare payments for sex-change surgeries.

Obama promised to “fundamentally change America.”  It’s probably the only promise he’s actually kept.  I feel so sad right now. We were a great nation not so long ago.

Just had to repost this brilliant little video by PoliNation regular Mindful Webworker.

How iz Made Law in United States of Amerika [1:10]

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki actually said OUT LOUD, “I would argue the president doesn’t give himself enough credit for what he’s done around the world, and that’s how the Secretary feels too.”

One reporter asked Jen if she would actually “argue the president doesn’t give himself enough credit?”

As Psaki stumbled to sustain her claim that the Narcissist-in-Chief doesn’t give himself ENOUGH credit, reporters laughed mockingly and pressed the issue.

Associated Press reporter Matt Lee asked whether Obama maybe deserved 200 percent credit.

At the end, a reporter says, “Russia has still annexed Crimea and with Iran there are on-going negotiations. Is that the success you’re talking about?”

[Note: Negotiations with Iran were supposed to be all buttoned up by now.]

Reporters Mock And Laugh At State Dept. Spin On Obama’s Panned Foreign Policy Speech

Tweeters piled on:

• Jen Psaki said Obama doesn’t give himself enough credit on foreign policy. My drink just shot out of my nose.
• This was a SPOX, not SNL? OMG.
• She’s either smoking crack or thinks everyone else is.
• Someone please provide the name of Ms. Psaki’s supplier … she’s obviously getting the GOOD stuff.
• They are hell-bent on redistributing the wealth, but not the drugs? NOT Fair…
• Her body language at the end said, “STFU! That’s my answer, I know it’s dumb, but I’m sticking with it. Leave me alone”
• Apparently, WH has launched this new Talking Point. John Kerry is reportedly saying something similar.
• BHO has never taken credit for smuggling weapons to Mexican drug cartels, or for funding terrorists in the Middle East, or for Benghazi, or for Ukraine’s loss of the Crimea.
• Ditto for getting our access to the international space station denied.
• Obama’s quiet diplomacy has prevented civil war in Antarctica.
• He has successfully bowed to more world leaders than any other president….other than that…I got nothing.
• He’s sort of like Hitler, who clearly didn’t give himself enough credit for uniting the world.
• A flipped quarter would make for a better leader than the current loser we have now!
• Even the lapdog media is realizing he doesn’t do anything. This can’t be good for him.
• “This can’t be good for him.”  And we care why?

This is not Ms. Psaki’s first time at bat for the Obama Tee-Ball Team.

That Jen Psaki is the OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON for our State Department makes me want to hide my passport.

I think you’ll find the video and book linked here surprisingly interesting and even compelling.

The video interview with the author is worth your time. For example, the author said something profound, something I’ve read about in theology, but the example he gave was so BASIC, I felt like I only just now GOT the point – “Properties must exist in substance.” What he said was, “You have a blue shirt. You don’t have a blue, because properties (blue) must exist in substance (shirt).” Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I get it! I have to buy this book!

EWTN Bookmark – 2014-5-25 – A Kid’s Introduction to Physics (and Beyond) [26:40]

From review @ http://www.goodreadingguide.com/Kid%E2%80%99s-Introduction-Physics-and-Beyond-Rizzi-Anthony/100058 – “Because it starts at the beginning with the simple things that we all learn as children through the senses and builds to explain where modern science comes in and how important it is, it truly gives the reader a big picture view of his place in the modern world. Furthermore, without the understanding given in this book, no Christian can have a mature understanding of his Faith. Indeed, absent an understanding of the material in this book, his Faith is placed in real danger of being confused.”

From Buy the book for $12 @ http://www.iapweb.org/store/kids.html – “This book (70 pages softcover 6″x8” with 14 font) introduces young people to physics starting with their natural wonder about the things around them. It builds on their common sense, making it clear and precise, and shows them how to go from their common sense to the advanced method of modern science. Finally, it shows them the need for the Unchangeable Changer, without which there is nothing. It shows that only through knowing physics do we know about Him. It shows how this world proves that He exists and that He is the Source of all the changing things we see. Readers will learn that physics is the base science and thus essential to all of their thinking. The book is appropriate for children as young as sixth grade but is targeted for seventh and eighth grade. Kids in higher grades and even adults will also enjoy it.”
