Most amazing NFL skills ever

This is another incredible example of how you can't believe everything you see. As former residents of Green Bay, Wisconsin, our personal favorite is Mason Crosby kicking the ball to ring the Brown County Courthouse bell.

It's nice to think these National Football League players are really this talented. But the real talent lies with the digital video technicians:

Indiana Supreme Court adds to tyranny

The consistent ability of progressive judges to rule in favor of tyranny, and against the plain meaning of the United States Constitution, is becoming increasingly worrisome.

Issuing a 3-2 decision in Richard L. Barnes v. State of Indiana, the Indiana Supreme Court has pronounced that citizens of Indiana have no right to resist illegal police entry into their home.

Justice Steven David writes in the majority opinion: "We believe... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest." (emphasis added)

Well, perhaps police should make certain they make only legal entries into private homes, so they don't get shot or otherwise injured by an ordinary citizen who is legally defending his family and personal property.

Apparently David and the two other Constitutionally-illiterate justices believe precedent, their own opinions, and the latest law school graduate's white papers are more important than the Constitution itself.

Ironically, this is exactly what the Founders aimed to prevent when they wrote the Fourth Amendment (part of the Bill of Rights). It reads:

Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Note the absence of any "violence prevention" thinking? In other words, the Indiana court's decision is plainly unconstitutional.



The Magna Carta

 A nwitimes article gets the implications of this ill-informed decision exactly right: "Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes." FreedomsPhoenix.com has more analysis in this post, Indiana: Full Frontal Facism.

A final, comforting thought: David further opined that a person arrested during unlawful entry by police can be released on bail, and has plenty of opportunities to protest the illegal entry through the court system. So, even though you're minding your own business and the police have no legal right to enter your home, David isn't troubled by your unlawful arrest or imprisonment, either.

That is "modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," and it has no place in our Constitutional Republic.

Condi Rice schools MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell

More from one of the least intelligent, progressive-minded television personalities who opines on MSNBC.

Lawrence O'Donnell attempts to interview former US National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. As is typical of liberals, he pretends to ask questions, but really just drops false, incendiary statements in order to ridicule one of the smartest women on the planet. And to compound his boorish manner, he constantly interrupts Rice.

On balance, it doesn't seem to work very well for him:

Seeing is believing, right?

President Obama and his national security team were pictured this week as they focused their intent, collective gaze on something. We were told, in White House Version 1.0, that it was a live feed from Abbotabad, Pakistan, as US Navy SEAL "assaulters" killed Osama bin Laden.

But Central Intelligence Agency chief Leon Panetta now says there is no video of the Osama bin Laden raid. There was supposed to be, but the feed blacked out for 25 minutes, according to Panetta. So when a video and still images surface, as they eventually must, will they be trustworthy?

Seeing is believing, right? Or is it? Watch this clip, and then tell us you'll believe any photographic "evidence."



We are Americans, and we have the government we asked for. Let's all agree to ask for better in 2012, shall we?

30 awesomely bad school portraits

Hey, my fan is clamoring!

We can all recall the feeling, can't we?

The school photographer called you "Tarzan" or "Cinderella" or some other goofy name while you posed for the camera. You laughed, uncomfortably. Eventually, you received a packet of photographs. You opened them eagerly - only to be disappointed that your hair wasn't perfect, or you regretted the clothes you wore that day.

But aren't you glad you never saw anything like this in the packet?

Ace Online Schools has compiled an entertaining collection of 30 truly awful school photos. Pure schadenfreude. The other 29 images can be seen here.

bin Laden's 'mansion' burns, or something

Pakistan television broadcast this video of Osama bin Laden's mansion hideout on fire, after he was killed by US military forces:



UPDATE: Subsequent, conflicting statements by the Obama Regime have created a murky, almost indiscernable description of exactly what happened in bin Laden's compound. The video above may actually have captured flames that consumed a US military helicopter, which was intentionally destroyed by people Obama officials refer to as "assaulters."

A picture is still worth a thousand words



In New York, firefighters know who started all this.
