While we are on pinups, since it is that time of year, have you gotten your “Pinups for Vets” calendar yet? And don’t forget to check out what I declare to be our War on Women Rule 5 and linky luv posts and things that interest me

Don’t forget to check out all the other great material all the linked blogs have!

Anyone else have a link or hotty-fest going on? Let me know so I can add you to the list. (BTW, since someone asked, the reason I leave links for the previous week up (or you might see a *) is because they are place holders for later in the day or for next weeks. Easier than rewriting all the time. Also, the listing order has to do with how they are added over time, not how good a post is. I just copy and paste from the previous week, then edit. If you see one of the *’s, go ahead and check out the blog anyhow, see if there is an update. I cannot update with my Android during the day.

ISIS Publishes Kill List Of 100 U.S. Military Members

When it comes to ISIS, this should very much be taken as a clear and present threat

(UK Daily Mail) A division of ISIS published a ‘kill list’ containing the names, photos and addresses of 100 US military members online and called upon its ‘brothers residing in America’ to kill them.

The list was posted online by the ‘Islamic State Hacking Division’.

The group claimed it hacked several military servers, databases and emails to obtain the information.

The ISHD said it wants ‘lone wolf’ attackers to go after the military members and ‘kill them wherever you find them’.

The list did appear to match up with information which was available online, TheBlaze reported.

The posting read: ‘With the huge amount of data we have from various different servers and databases, we have decided to leak 100 addresses so that our brothers in America can deal with you.

‘And now we have made it easy for you by giving you addresses, all you need to do is take the final step, so what are you waiting for?

‘Kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe.’

Interestingly, very few US national media outlets are featuring this story. The NY Times buried it on page A14 of today’s (Sunday) edition. There seems to be no article at the Washington Post. CBS News? Nope. ABC News has a small blurb. NBC News? Negative. CNN? Uh uh. One would think that when it comes to ISIS directly threatening American citizens, much less military members, this would be taken seriously. But, I guess, when it comes to ISIS and the spread of radical Islam, this might show the failure of President Selfie

That is referring to Obama sitting around watching basketball while U.S. forces evacuated from Yemen after al Qaeda seized another town.

That’s right, folks, yet another leisurely round of golf. And it’s surely a given that no bothers will be give with more March Madness today.

Guardian climate change petition reaches 100k signatures

They’re like totally enthused to tell Other People how to run their business

(UK Guardian) A Guardian petition which calls for the Wellcome Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to ditch their fossil fuel investments has gathered more than 100,000 signatures since it launched on Monday.

The campaign asks the world’s two largest charitable foundations to divest from the top 200 oil, gas and coal companies within five years and to immediately freeze any new investments. It was launched by Guardian editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger in partnership with the global climate movement 350.org.

High profile signatories include Scottish actor Tilda Swinton and Professor Anne Glover, the former chief scientific adviser to the president of the European commission.

The campaign has also attracted the support of activist Bianca Jagger, Costa award-winning author Helen Macdonald and Rou Reynolds from the band Enter Shikari, while chef Yotam Ottolenghi said he backed it “because we’re running out of time and it’s pretty terrifying”.

A couple points here. First, you know what is coming: have all those who signed the petition given up their own use of fossil fuels? Pretty much a rhetorical question, as we know the answer is a resounding “no”, followed by typical Cult of Climastrology deflections.

Second, as mentioned previously, the Guardian has gone full bore CoC, and has apparently decided to give up on their core mission of journalism and move strictly into advocacy. Is it any wonder the media is losing more and more trust?

Schoolkids Trudge Through Snow To Hear Pharrell Yammer About “Climate Change”

How perfect. Of course, CBS News failed to see the irony, because, of course, snow, especially snow on the first day of spring, is now being blamed on too much heat

About 1,200 middle school children trudged through the latest snow storm to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday evening to hear hip hop singer and producer Pharrell Williams talk about climate change.

Sadly, CBS refused to provide a picture of the kids trudging through the snow to hear about Hotcoldwetdry. But, they have Pharrell

I love the Marxist revolutionary hat.

The U.N. sponsored the event, along the U.N. Foundation and MixRadio, to celebrate International Day of Happiness, established by the world organization in 2012. It transformed a normally conflict-focused, staid venue into a dramatically “happy” environment with a clear message: The next generation needs to pay attention to climate change.

Wonderful: they’re using the International Day Of Happiness to stoke the flames of fearmongering regarding “climate change”, which makes kids into neurotic wrecks.

BTW, how much electricity does the UN building use? Electricity is Bad for “climate change”, you know.

Liberal Gun Hating Group Everytown Prefers Young College Girls Drunk

Liberals have been on a tear over the past couple of years regarding sexual assault on campus, which is interesting in that college campuses tend to be very Left leaning. They are very concerned about rape on campus. One would think that Liberals would be concerned with making sure young women are able to defend themselves. Nope. Only with whistles and/or peeing or vomiting on themselves

(Breitbart) On March 19, Everytown for Gun Safety tweeted to proponents of campus carry, asking if giving guns to their “drunk, college-age daughters” is really a great idea.

This question follows campus carry bills making it out of committee in Florida and Nevada, and it also follows Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s reaffirmation that he will sign campus carry legislation once it reaches his desk.

https://twitter.com/Everytown/status/578668529123241984

Ironically, in late February, Everytown criticized Nevada GOP Leader Michele Fiore (R-Las Vegas) for describing college-age females as “young, hot little girls on campus.” Fiore said men bent on sexual assault would think twice if “young, hot little girls on campus have a firearm.”

But now, with Everytown’s drunk daughters tweet, we finally understand—it’s okay to paint with a broad brush and describe college females as irresponsible humans, but it’s not okay to mention how unarmed, attractive women are targeted for sexual assault and worse.

So, Everytown is an enabler for young college women to get themselves vastly liquored up, a situation which lowers inhibitions and can easily lead to these young women being taken advantage of in a sexual manner. Of course, they would not be eligible to actually carry a firearm while drinking. But, open and concealed carry would be a great way to protect women when they aren’t drinking. Liberals apparently hate guns more than they want women to protect themselves.

The link leads to hyper-feminist Jezebel, which essentially exposes that feminists are more against guns than for women defending themselves.

Anyone notice anything interesting in that photo?

Obama DREAMER Accused Of Killing Four

Just another illegal alien doing the 1st degree murder that Americans won’t

(Daily Caller) U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Thom Tillis have confirmed that a 19-year-old gang member accused of murdering four people, including a former reality TV model, was granted amnesty in 2013 even though he was slated for removal because of a 2012 drug possession charge.

Emmanuel Jesus Rangel-Hernandez is the suspect in question. One of the four people he is accused of murdering in drug-related killings in Charlotte, N.C. last month is “America’s Next Top Model” contestant Mirjana Puhar.

Grassley, from Iowa, and Tillis, from North Carolina, sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Sec. Jeh Johnson on Friday laying out evidence that Rangel-Hernandez had applied for and was ultimately granted relief under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

DACA is President Obama’s 2012 executive action which granted protection from deportation to so-called DREAMers — aliens brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents. Obama expanded DACA in November.

Rangel-Hernandez was arrested for possession of marijuana in 2012, and was slated for deportation. He was also a known gang member. The deportation proceedings were dismissed after he applied for DACA. Grassley and Tillis want to know several things from DHS Sec Johnson

In addition, please answer the following questions:
1.    Since DACA’s creation, how many applications have been approved? Please provide the answer by fiscal year.

2.    Of the DACA applications approved, please provide the number of applicants that:

a.    Had known gang affiliation.

b.    Suspected gang affiliation.

c.    Had criminal affiliations.

3.    Please explain why USCIS approved DACA applications for known or suspected gang members and others with criminal affiliations.

4.    By fiscal year, how many DACA applications have been denied because of gang affiliation or other criminal affiliation?

5.    By fiscal year, please provide the number of DACA terminations as a result of gang affiliation or other criminal affiliation.

6.    What steps is USCIS taking to ensure that known or suspected gang members or criminally affiliated applicants are denied DACA or approved DACA is terminated once knowledge of gang affiliation or other criminal affiliation is known?

They’d like an answer by March 31st. So, on April 1st, we should hear about Johnson stonewalling.

EPA Wants Hotels To Monitor Your Water Usage And Change Your Behavior

How dare you say Warmists/Progressives want to control your behavior!

(Washington Free Beacon) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants hotels to monitor how much time its guests spend in the shower.

The agency is spending $15,000 to create a wireless system that will track how much water a hotel guest uses to get them to “modify their behavior.”

“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,” an EPA grant to the University of Tulsa reads. “Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.”

The funding is going toward creating a prototype and market analysis for the device. The goal of the project is to change the behavior of Americans when they stay at hotels.

“This technology will provide hotel guests with the ability to monitor their daily water online or using a smartphone app and will assist hotel guest in modifying their behavior to help conserve water,” the grant said.

This is all about “sustainability”, code-word for “climate change”.

This begs the question, should Warmists actually stay at hotels? If they’re staying at one, it means they are traveling, which means the use of fossil fuels, which are Bad for Hotcoldwetdry, and hotels are notorious as energy wasters.

The White House Is Totally Leading By Example On Hotcoldwetdry Or Something

Following up on yesterday’s post regarding Obama ordering the Central Government to reduce its carbon footprint, we get from the official White House website

Leading by Example on Climate Change: Our New Federal Sustainability Plan

Late last year, in an historic joint announcement with China, President Obama set an ambitious goal for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change – a clear sign that the United States’ commitment to leadership on climate change at home and abroad is stronger than ever.

In the latest effort to continue that push, this morning, President Obama signed an executive order that will help us stay on track to meet the new target pledged in China and ensure that the federal government leads by example as the United States moves boldly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while boosting clean energy. This new sustainability plan for the next decade directs federal agencies to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2025. That means big cuts to the dangerous emissions driving climate change – and also big savings. In addition to 21 million metric tons of emission reductions – the same as taking 4.2 million cars of the road for a year — achieving this goal will save taxpayers up to $18 billion in avoided energy costs between 2008 and 2025.

This is written by Dr. Ernest Moniz, the Secretary of Energy. Can you guess what is missing? That’s right, any notion of Obama “leading by example”. In fact

That was right after his announcement of the CO2 reduction plan. It’s a mere 1.4 miles by road from the DOE to the White House, less if you cut across the National Mall. He could have walked, biked, took a Segway. Instead, a fossil fueled limo, with the accompanying chase vehicles.
