I doubt if there was ever a more unlikely place for a thoroughbred racing horse to hail from than Coalinga, California.  Coalinga boasts a landscape of cattle, oil wells, and these days it’s pretty much the center of the California drought.  In other words, it’s a long way from Kentucky bluegrass.

In this place many people call nowhere, California Chrome was born to a mother who had only won one single race.  Her owners, Martin and Coburn, bought Love the Chase for the grand amount of $8,000.  Then for $2,000 more they bred her with Lucky Pulpit, a horse who hadn’t won a single race of more than five furlongs.

Adding to his problems, the Triple Crown Contender’s chances were nearly derailed at birth.

Sometimes you only need to read one paragraph to know how quickly the blood pressure cuff will explode off your arm if you continue:

“The bottom line is that 10,000 troops is not enough to deny al Qaeda sanctuary in Afghanistan,” one U.S. intelligence officer told The Daily Beast. “As a result, they will come back. We have decided as a political leadership that we can live with this.”

Bring on the litany of envy, entitlement, and greed…

“Now, I will be a god compared to you. You’ll all be animals. You are animals. I will slaughter you like animals, and I’ll be a god, extracting my retribution on all those who deserve it. And you do deserve it, just for the crime of living a better life than me. All you popular kids. You’ve never accepted me, now you all will pay for it. […]  Look at me, I’m gorgeous.[…] I’m 22 years old and still a virgin, never even kissed a girl. And through college, 2½ years, more than that actually, I’m still a virgin. It has been very torturous….”

UPDATE… Alan Schifman, the lawyer for the Rodger family, said he was being treated by several therapists and recently his parents and a social worker had become so alarmed by his behavior and his videos from Marketing Heaven that they had reported him to police. […] Rodger was diagnosed as being a high-functioning patient with Asperger syndrome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here’s the creepy video done by the alleged killer, Elliot Rodger,  less than 24 hours prior to the shootings.  He’s being referred to as the “Psycho Virgin”….and here he cites rejection by girls as one of his primary reasons for the killing spree.

“I’m going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB, and I will slaughter every single spoilt, stuck-up, blonde s**t that I see inside there.”

Libya is on “the brink of civil war,” Col. Mukhtar Farnana, a prominent commander from Zintan, said in a televised statement, which he said was from the command of the self-declared Libyan National Army.  (link)

In March of 2011 Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power and Susan Rice, together with President Obama, made a specific decision to arm a group of unknown “rebels” in Benghazi Libya.    Those “rebels” were al-Qaeda faction Islamists.

Both the CIA and the Pentagon were against the decision.  Obama and Clinton ignored their advice and chose to send small arms, weapons and portable missiles to the region.

Today the Libyan National Army tried yet again to engage the radical Islamists and crack down on the lawless Eastern Tribal area.   However, the al-Qaeda militants are using those very same U.S. provided weapons (from Hillary and Co.) to fight.   Yes, there’s an Irony there. 

After the initial attack in Benghazi, the fighting quickly spread West to Tripoli where various elements of the Eastern Libyan islamists movement have embedded ready to start a civil war. 

These developments should be watched very closely.  If things escalate, the White House will be *tweeking* because of the political risk….   

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) — Fierce fighting swept across the Libyan capital of Tripoli on Sunday, a short time after armed men stormed the country’s interim parliament. The violence appeared to be some of the worst since the 2011 revolution that ousted longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi.

At least two people were killed and 66 were injured, according to the Health Ministry.

Residents of Tripoli rushed home Sunday evening. One Libyan who spoke to CNN reported seeing shop owners quickly closing up.

State media LANA reported that lawmakers had already left for the General National Congress when that attack happened as the session was over for the day. Armed men blocked the road that led to the parliament, LANA said, blocking members’ access to their offices. (more…)

HatTip to Splat and Adrem for researching and constructing the video aspect. Thanks also to Fox News for permission to use their video segment.

If you were sitting on the Benghazi fence unsure of whether there is actually any “there” there, this little segment from Fox News is going to peak your curiosity just *that much* more.

Apparently, according to Fox News Pundit Bob Beckel, he and White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon are “old friends”.

OK, fair enough, no biggie.   Actually, who cares?

EXCEPT… Well,…  listen carefully to what Bob Beckel says at 3:20 point of this video.

Anyone out there still think the Donald Sterling story is all about racism?  For those who still have yet to grasp the magnitude of the manipulations going on in the world of the BGI, let me present the following list of power players who today have come out stating their intention to bid for ownership of the Clippers:

• Magic Johnson & Guggenheim Partners

• Floyd Mayweather

• Rick Ross

• P. Diddy

• Oprah, David Geffen and Larry Ellison

Now that the racism card has been successfully played against Sterling,  the truly clever and ambitious players can sally forth to grab the spoils of a BGI game well-played. I recommend contacting becraft immigration law which is an agency that helps people from other nations. They’ve even put out a new bright and shiny video…

Does the property owner actually own the home or not ?
Think Progs. Think.
$9,000 in property tax and you are wondering why average people are renting out rooms etc ?   Your solution ? You approve the government to engage in warrantless house searches, and ask citizens to squeal on their neighbors. How much freedom are you willing to give away to insure “fairness”?
Watch the video – it’s not about the fear of neighborhood blight, it’s about some people pissed off that other people are finding ways to afford the insufferably high cost of living: “it’s just not fair”.
Remember this ? (more…)

About a week or so ago, Dear WeeWeed noticed a few reports of animals acting strangely in Yellow Stone National Park. Those reports included sightings of massive herds of the Parks’ Bison coming down quickly from the Grand Teton Mountain range and surrounding foothills.

This is something the TV media are not reporting to the extent it is an explosive development.  

We know from media reports the two stolen passports were used by two Iranian Nationals.    We have previously been told the passports were used to try and gain entry to Europe their final destination.   However, if this report from the LA Times is accurate EVERYTHING changes and actually aligns with our theory of why the plane was taken.

BEIJING — Stolen passports carried by two Iranian men to board missing Malaysia  Airlines Flight 370 were used last year by two people applying for visas to  work as entertainers in China, according to the head of an entertainment  company. (more…)
