Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Yale, Beyond The Pale ~ “Tolerance” in the new intolerance. If college students from the 1960’s were suddenly teleported to an American university today, demonstrations and protests would commence immediately over the fascist thought police on today’s “inclusive” campuses.
Catholics in Syria Plead to US: Stop Supporting Rebels ~
Archbishop Jean Clement, the Melike Catholic leader in Aleppo, read: “Please help us to pull our country back from the abyss of the fundamentalist regime in which they are trying to immerse us.”
“Just stop selling arms to the terrorists,” begged Father Mtanios Haddad, a Melkite now serving in Rome.
Funny, Iraqis were saying the same thing last year. Whose side is Obama on? ~
“The Islamic State is “almost finished,” (Mustafa Saadi, Shiite militia commander) said. “They are weak. If only America would stop supporting them, we could defeat them in days.“
Euthanasia Activists File Lawsuit Attempting to Legalize Assisted Suicide in Massachusetts ~ The fact that the people of Massachusetts have opposed this whenever it’s come up for a vote never deters leftists and the death cultists. It’s a progressive thing ~
In states where doctor-prescribed suicide is legal, a growing number of sick people are being denied medical treatment coverage and offered assisted suicide instead. Most recently, Stephanie Packer, a California wife and mother of four who was diagnosed with a terminal form of scleroderma, said her insurance company refused to cover the cost of her medical treatment […]
Packer said, “As soon as this law was passed — and you see it everywhere, when these laws are passed — patients fighting for a longer life end up getting denied treatment, because this [assisted suicide] will always be the cheapest option.”
Get Ready to Break Wind ~ Humorous headline; serious topic ~
If Hillary Clinton becomes our next president, one of the changes you can expect is an invasion of industrial wind development in your community that has the potential to severely damage your property values, ruin the viewshed, impact your sleep patterns, and cause your electricity rates to “necessarily skyrocket” — all thanks to your tax dollars.
And it all based on a bogus theory anyway ~ How a London university pocketed millions by faking global warming studies ~ When science is for sale we all lose.
Defending Unborn Lives in Kenya ~ Pro-Aborts are trying to force their abortion culture on the rest of the planet ~
Babies and their mothers in Kenya are afforded unprecedented protections against abortion because of Article 26(4) of the Kenyan constitutional that bans abortion except in emergency situations or danger to the life or health of the mother.
But the abortion industry and the global abortion lobby are trying to undermine these protections for life.
Kenya’s Centre for Reproductive Rights probably isn’t mentioning this in their lobbying efforts > Want to Reduce Your Risk of Breast Cancer? Don’t Have an Abortion ~ As I’ve said before…
A Call to Protect the Unborn and the Pro-Life Movement from Environmentalist Deceit: A Declaration by Concerned Pro-Lifers ~ More trickery from the anti-life crowd. Don’t let the environmentalists hi-jack the “pro-life” label to promote their radical green agenda.
The Bully Party ~ “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams weighs in on the thuggery of some Clinton supporters ~
I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.

Congress: Attorney General Lynch ‘Pleads Fifth’ on Secret Iran ‘Ransom’ Payments ~ I dunno – I’ve just run out of synonyms for “outrageous!” President Obama made sure to surround himself with fellow travelers, every bit as deceitful, corrupt and anti-American as he is.
Hollywood Embraces ‘Scrotox’ Cosmetic Testicle Injections ~ I have no comment
(D)octors in Beverly Hills are increasingly fielding requests from male patients who want to smooth out their downstairs area, so to speak, apparently inspired by female-equivalent treatments made increasingly popular by actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow.
