Good morning! I’m waking up to the sweet taste of Colorado tears:
“The Broncos blew it all Sunday. They threw away a victory, dropped the ball and lost their grip on the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. This loss ripped out around 76,000 hearts in the stadium. And that’s not the worst of it. This sad-beyond-belief, 15-12 defeat against the lowly Oakland Raiders was so damaging to Denver it could slowly tear the team apart.”
Fearing a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations” for the Obama administration, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end a secret U.S. policy that prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of all foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas, a former senior department official said.
“During that time period immigration officials were not allowed to use or review social media as part of the screening process,” John Cohen, a former acting under-secretary at DHS for intelligence and analysis. Cohen is now a national security consultant for ABC News.
Fatwa, I see that Georgia police showed us how it is done, with three of them breaking into the wrong house and shooting the dog, the innocent resident, and one of their own. I don’t yet know how they will charge the resident for the policeman being shot by his buddies but I am sure the best minds are on it.
I don’t know why that awful story is making the rounds the last few days, as it happened a couple of months back, IIRC. But glad to see it’s at least getting some attention.
And last Friday, a Habersham Cty. GA deputy was acquitted of any wrongdoing in the “Baby Bou Bou” case, despite the fact she lied her ass off to get the no-knock warrant which led to a 19-month-old having a flash-bang tossed into his crib, blowing holes in his face and chest as well as burning him. (And requiring repeated surgeries until he’s fully grown.)
And of course, they didn’t find any drugs, either. Plus, the strapped-up deputy who tossed the flash-bang didn’t follow protocols, but he wasn’t charged with anything.
It’s good to be the King’s Men.

I couldn’t not share this one. My buddy Bob actually pays attention to Twitter, and this morning I guess a ruckus erupted online about the “purity” of Star Trek’s new trailer.
::snicker::
Apparently it’s too “action-y”. I told Bob to tell the Star Wars goofs camping in line already that they should worry about their places in line instead of committing douch-baggery online.
Then again, any time I can tweek a Star Wars goof, I will.

/I don’t know what you think of the new version of Star Trek, Brenda, but I like it!
Dagnabbit…it’s Monday again! Why does this keep happening?

Hi Fatwa!
Off to work--good day to all!
Hai, Sven!
Good morning, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa and Sven!
Good on your Raiders, Sven!
From a post over at Ace:
Top.
Men.
This weekend was too short!
So they need to read our mail and listen to our phone calls but Jihadi Facebook posts are sacred?
