Out they trot Reza Aslan to lie about his religion
And it is his religion, make no mistake about it, so he's not an objective source, especially since he's a switch hitter, a former Christian, and a lousy historian of Christianity whose popular book on Jesus doesn't pass the smell test because it stole the long ago propounded thesis of the scholar S.G.F. Brandon but never credited him or responded to it.
Here at Vox:
"Islam doesn't promote violence or peace. Islam is just a religion and like every religion in the world it depends on what you bring to it."
Islam promotes submission, means submission, requires submission. It's inherently confrontational in a way which Christianity or Judaism or any other religion has never been and he knows it. And the lying about it is not a bug, either, but a feature. Lying to the infidel is sanctioned as part of the process of dominating the infidel.
And that's the problem for the West. Islam uses the West's value of freedom of expression and freedom of religion against it, as an opening to dominate it. And like fools, we allow it.

Foolish French soccer star imagines that the horror they've just experienced "has no religion"
Seen here:
'The France midfielder Lassana Diarra has revealed that his cousin, Asta Diakité, was killed during Friday night’s attack. Diarra played 80 minutes of the match against Germany. In a statement posted on twitter, he said his cousin was like “a big sister to me … In this climate of terror, it is important for all of us who are representatives of our country and its diversity to speak and remain united against a horror that has no colour, no religion.”'
Yeah, that religion that just attacked you atheists once again wasn't real. It was just in your imagination.
It's not just religious people who are ideologues.
Two Syrians involved in Paris attacks, not just one
One at the theatre attack, another at the stadium attack.
The Guardian is live-blogging the investigation, here, but won't definitely say they were Syrians until the fingerprints are linked to the passports.
Gee, suicide bombers blow themselves up and they just happen to find Syrian passports on the bodies/nearby, but the bombers could have stolen/forged them.
Wouldn't want to accuse Syrians falsely now would we?
Muslim terrorists are smuggling weapons into Europe hidden deep inside cars
Reported here by Ian Traynor:
"The man was stopped in a Volkswagen Golf with Montenegrin plates near Germany’s border with Austria on 5 November. Officials found a pistol under the bonnet, prompting them to take the car apart. In doing so, they uncovered a sophisticated smuggling operation, with automatic weapons, 200 grammes of dynamite, hand grenades and ammunition concealed in the car’s bodywork, according to Bavarian public radio.
"Examination of the suspect’s mobile phone and the car’s GPS system indicated the detainee was en route to Paris."

Bernie Sanders doesn't give a damn about Hillary's e-mails, but the FBI does, expanding its probe
Story here at The Hill, noting that the FBI is looking into whether Hillary has given it materially false information.
You know, like former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert did, who was charged with lying to federal investigators but pleaded guilty to a separate charge.
Does the FBI have a separate charge ready for Hillary after it charges her with lying to them?
Hillary has made such a career of lying about anything and everything that she may have forgotten you can't do that to the Feds with impunity and count on getting away with it, especially when you're in the habit of calling them "pigs" all the time.

The legacy of the left's long march through the institutions since the 1960s is . . .
. . . the repudiation of the Bill of Rights, which is why so many Americans fled the Democrat Party and joined the Republican Party, starting with Ronald Reagan ("the Democrat Party left me"). They are just like the Puritans, who preferred to switch rather than to fight.
Unfortunately, there's nowhere left to which to switch, indeed, to retreat.
It's either us, or them.
Hillary retells the lie about trying to join the Marines in 1975, Glenn Kessler doesn't do the math
From WaPo, here:
“He looks at me and goes, ‘Um, how old are you. And I said, ‘Well I am 26, I will be 27.’ And he goes, ‘Well, that is kind of old for us.’ And then he says to me, and this is what gets me, ‘Maybe the dogs will take you,’ meaning the Army.” –Former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking at a breakfast, Manchester, N.H., Nov. 10, 2015
One Clinton story that has often been greeted with skepticism is her claim, first made in 1994, that she once tried to join the Marines in 1975. On the campaign trail, she brought up the story again [... above].
Can this story be confirmed?
For the reasons given Kessler gives the claim two Pinocchios out of four for truthfulness, "subject to change if more information becomes available."
More information?
When Hillary got married to Bill Clinton October 11, 1975 ("Let's see, what should I do, quit both my jobs at the University of Arkansas and my private law practice and join the Marines, or get married to Bill Clinton?"), she was two weeks from her 28th birthday, not her 27th.
She wasn't 26, going on 27, as she claimed this week.
Not only that, a recruiter from the era went on the record years ago stating the military was desperate for bodies at the time, taking people up to age 35, and that the Marines never made quota until the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979.
Add two Pinocchios, and the whole damn woodshop.

Sorry Marco, they can fact check your stupidity: philosophers make more than welders
And arguably, we're already producing plenty of welders relative to philosophers, at least 16 times more, but it would be nice if the welders, and the politicians, could at least speak English correctly, as in "more welders, fewer philosophers", instead of "more welders, less philosophers".
