Haitians, have been gathering at a bridge in Del Rio, TX. This appears to be
true. It is also true that it is about 2,000 miles from Haiti to Del Rio, TX and
as you can see below almost all of that distance is over the ocean.

So since we here at SACSTW are intellectually curious, let's ask a few
questions... <br>1) Traveling 2000 miles over the ocean requires significant
resources. Did those Haitian migrants use their own resources to make that trip?<br>
2) If they did, does that mean that their socio-economic status in Haiti was not
as dire as some would like us to believe?<br> 3) If they did not use their own
resources, whose resources did they use?<br> 4) Some believe that "white America" is
full of "selfish, hateful people". If that is true, why are thousands of
non-white Haitians traveling 2000 miles to camp under a bridge in the hope of
gaining access to it?<br> 5) If you believe that white America is full of selfish,
hateful people, then why aren't you doing everything you can to discourage
non-white Haitians from coming to it? Why aren't you down on the border with a
megaphone, imploring those non-whites to turn back before they get swallowed up
by a seething cauldron of white hatred?<br><br> Feel free to answer in the comments...

Sahib and I spent years extolling the virtues of conservatism and limited government. We lampooned and skewered big government statists no matter what party they called home. Browse the archives if you don't believe me. <br />
<br />
After several years, we concluded that our work was done. Surely the political pendulum would swing back our way after the wreckage that has been the Obama administration. The nation would turn to a Republican candidate who embraced and honored the Constitution, who recognized that the uncontrolled malignancy of the federal government is the biggest threat to the American dream. Secure in this knowledge, I retreated to the Tibetan highlands to begin my pursuit of total consciousness.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to two weeks ago. I'm deep in study with the 14th son of the Lama, just about to reach Gunga Galunga...when from far over the mountain tops comes a plea for help, stabbing the darkness<br />

I had no choice but to respond. After a three day burro ride down the mountain, I used my satphone to hastily arrange an extraction by <a href="http://www.sahibandthecrew.com/2013/01/babe-put-down-m-16-and-make-me-sammich.html">SHEAL</a> team 2. Ten exhausting days of travel (OK, we actually spent 8 of them on a beach in Vanuatu) later, I arrived back at SACSTW headquarters and received the horrifying news.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">DONALD TRUMP IS THE PRESUMPTIVE GOP NOMINEE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not going to rehash the whole primary process here. Suffice it to say that GOP voters took a look at a leader who matched my description above, and tossed Ted Cruz aside like a stale doughnut. Blame it on open primaries, blame it on our reality show fixation, blame it on rampant syphilis...the bottom line is in the battle to defeat big government liberalism the Republican party will nominate a big government liberal. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I have come back. Back to chronicle the insanity of a Trump-Clinton general election, back to implore voters and delegates to reconsider. Until the gavel falls at the Republican National Convention there is still a chance to avert this disaster. </div>

By the time the hanging out and celebrating was over, the KC Police Department had maced and arrested multiple yoots. Nothing marks the end of summer quite like the tang of Mace hanging in the air.

In recent years, Topeka, KS has had a problem with nekkid citizens. Public nudity is apparently legal in Topeka, and a few of the locals have been taking full advantage. Looks like the party may be winding down though, as the city council is taking up a new ordinance that would ban public nudity. Exceptions would be made for breastfeeding mothers, and children under the age of ten (?). SACSTW investigators have not been able to confirm that Topeka council members are privately referring to the new ordinance as the Crew's Law.</div>

Earlier this week, this was a question that I posed to The Crew. The local sports and news stations in Kansas City were going orgasmic over a reported Fetty Wap sighting at the Tuesday night Royals' game. So I phoned The Learned Crew (my source for all things hip) and asked, "What the hell is a Feddy Wop?" He said that he wasn't sure but he believed that Feddy Wop was a who and not what. I told him that from all the hysteria I thought perhaps Elvis had returned from the dead or that the Queen of England was travelling under an alias.<br />
<br />
He said, "I'm on it!" A few minutes later he called back and explained that in fact yes, Feddy Wop is a who and not a what and that the proper spelling was FETTY WAP. Mr. Wap is apparently a new musical artist of some renown and is very popular with some of the Royals players. His big hit is a little ditty titled "Trap Queen". The Crew further informed me that he had viewed the video for Trap Queen and that he needed to get off the phone and shower as a result. Before he clicked off he said, "You have to watch it." So when I got home from work, I sat down at my computer to review "Trap Queen". Here are my thoughts. (Having grown up trying to decipher Mick Jagger's lyrics, I went split screen with the Trap Queen lyrics as I was watched.)<br />
<br />
This man is truly the bard of his generation and I was viewing his magnum opus. I believe I was listening to the Handel's Messiah of the 21st century. For those of you who haven't seen the video, I think I gleaned a few things:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Fetty (to his friends) makes a fantastic living as a baker. He multiple times refers to making pies with his baby and having a sack to roll. I am inferring that he means a sack of flour to roll into pie dough.</li>
<li>He likes money.</li>
<li>He likes his stripper girlfriend</li>
<li>The pie baking business is dangerous because he surrounds himself with a number of very large and scary looking individuals.</li>
</ul>
<br />
It was a very uplifting and inspiring song. So much so, that I felt compelled to up my street cred by taking Sahib Jr. to see "Straight Outta Compton" last night. I feel my pants sagging off my butt as I type.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Friday and a safe weekend everyone. And PEACE OUT!<br />

August of 2011 was dark and full of terrors. With the 2012 Presidential campaign in full swing, the spectre of a second Obama term was looming over all of us. I pitched the idea of a political commentary blog to Sahib, and SACSTW was born... four years ago today.<br />
<br />
At first I thought we would occupy ourselves primarily with the election, but it didn't take long for SACSTW to careen off in another direction. After all, there are any number of outlets where you can hear the latest banal politital analysis if you so choose. But let's be honest...there aren't too many that cover the craziness of our world like SACSTW. <br />
<br />
The first few weeks we were a little cautious, feeling our way through the blogosphere like the rank amateurs we were. That all changed on September 26, 2011 with the publication of Sahib's classic "<a href="http://www.sahibandthecrew.com/2011/09/raising-nation-of-mush-brained-wusses.html">Raising a Nation of Mush-Brained Wusses</a>". That post blazed a trail for the snark, sarcasm, and satire that is SACSTW's trademark. Soon after, a little thing called Occupy Wall Street happened, and our cup was overflowing.<br />
<br />
No one escapes the arrows of SACSTW, we will skewer anyone who.....<br />

Tired of GOP debate analysis? Heard enough about Megyn Kelly's menstrual cycle over the weekend? You've come to the right place, let's dive into this week's edition of Monday Musings...<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The Kraft company is recalling 36,000 cases of individually wrapped slices of "cheese" after several customers reported choking on the plastic wrapping covering the slices. SACSTW dispatched our ace field investigator to interview the customers, where it was determined they had actually choked on the "cheese". Officials with the FDA have demanded Kraft "<b>make the cheese and the plastic taste different</b>".</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Pope Francis marked the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing by referring to the atomic blast as "a permanent warning to humanity". Indeed. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The one-year anniversay of Michael Brown's death was also marked this weekend. Trevion Hobson had perhaps the most poignant and heartfelt tribute to Mr. Brown. Police say the 17 year old attended the protest on the anniversary...and shot a fellow protestor. If Barack had a son...</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>As we noted on the <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sahib-and-The-Crew-Save-the-World/315782308460472">SACSTW Facebook page</a> this week, Nathan Phifer went into a grocery store in the Houston area and proceeded to cache 3 bottles of wine in his pants. He then went to the store bathroom and pounded 2 of the bottles. On his way out of the store, Nathan grabbed up a handful of sushi and stuffed it down his pants as well. Store personnel stopped him on the way out with the ill-booten gotty. Frankly, I'm suspicious of this whole story. Sahib hasn't used the "Nathan" alias in years.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Finally there is this.... Perennial SACSTW fave Kim Jong-un and his band of wacky henchmen are at it again. North Korea has announced that on August 15th, every clock in the country will be set back 30 minutes to the newly decreed "Pyongyang Time". Pyongyang Time is defined as 149 years, 364 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes ahead of the standard of living of the North Korean people. Long-time SACSTW readers take note....<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.sahibandthecrew.com/2012/01/you-cry-harder-north-korean-grief.html">the Lachrymosity Level is </a></span><br />

Apparently, Hillary, Creepy Uncle Joe, and Commander Kerry are not the only Democrat presidential candidate retreads who are running or are considering running for president. Sahib and Crew favorite Vermin Love Supreme is throwing his boot, err hat, into the ring. (He has the boot to this day!)</div>

Running on a platform of a free pony for every American, time-travel research, mandatory dental hygiene, and zombie power, Mr. Supreme appears to be one of the more lucid candidates running for the Democrat nomination. As he perfectly illustrates in the video below of a debate from his 2012 presidential run.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
OK, maybe I don't have a new job but I would like to offer my humble talents to any conservative candidate who wants a straight from the hip, no nonsense, campaign speech writer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So as the corner undocumented pharmacist always says to prospective clients with a pharmacological preference (practicing up on my PC lingo, don't want to be accused of micro-aggressions), the first taste is free. Here is a campaign speech I would love to hear:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
My fellow Americans. I stand here today humbled at the opportunity to possibly follow in the footsteps of such great American heroes as Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Reagan. A prospect I take with the utmost gravity. As such, my first speech as a candidate will be filled with promises. (Wait for audience skeptical response) I know, I know. A politician making promises. I can already hear the jokes. But wait there is more! It will be filled with honesty as well. Brutal honesty. And yes, my lips will be moving throughout this speech. So buckle in. Here goes.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I promise that I will never apologize for offending anyone. If I meant to offend you, then I am not sorry. I meant to offend you. If I didn't intend on offending you, then I am not sorry. I did not intend on offending you. If you were offended anyway, that is your problem, not mine. (I am working on a more detailed treatise on the perpetually offended. Look for it soon.) </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If elected, I promise that I will occasionally lie to you. For instance; when Iran inevitably reneges on the current nuclear deal, I am sure I will be asked about a possible military response. I will lie. "Of course we have no plans to coordinate with Israel concerning the complete obliteration of all Iranian nuclear facilities. How silly of you to ask! And it definitely will not be happening next Tuesday!"</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Unlike some of my predecessors, however; I promise I will never lie to forward my political agenda or to push through legislation that forwards said agenda. There will be no more of the legislative "Don't ask, don't tell" you have to pass the bill before you can read it.</blockquote>

One of our many hallowed traditions here at SACSTW is Monday Musings with the Crew. Let's face it, Mondays suck...so I try to gather up a few little nuggets of blazing insanity from over the weekend to get your week off to a good start. Let's dive right in..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li> In what can only be described as the ultimate indictment of the left, Debbie Wasserman Schulz is still the chairman of the Democrat National Committee. She had an interesting weekend on the talk show circuit, as first Tingles Matthews and then Chuck Todd asked her to explain the difference between a Democrat (Hillary Clinton) and a Socialist (Bernie Sanders). She ignored the question, instead "focusing" on the difference between Democrats and Republicans....</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats want to make sure that people have the opportunity to climb the ladder of success and reach the middle class--</i></b><br />
<b><i>Debbie Wasserman Schulz </i></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What DWS failed to mention is that the ladder of success can be climbed in both directions. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her party is most interested in helping people reach the middle class by climbing DOWN that </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ladder. One of SACSTW's intrepid field reporters caught up with Ms. Wasserman Schulz to </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ask her to elaborate..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>On Wednesday of this week, doctors at the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine will fit a chicken named Cecily with a $2,500 prosthetic leg. Cecily's owner is paying for the procedure out of pocket. Seems reasonable, after all you don't eat a great chicken like Cecily all at once.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>No matter how bad your weekend was, it was likely better than Colin Corkhill's. The 26 year old Arizona man was jailed over the weekend on a number of charges. He is now hospitalized after pulling his right eyeball out with his fingers in the jail. Interestingly, all the TVs in the jail were tuned to MSNBC at the time of the ocular extraction. Been there my friend...</li>
</ul>

whackadoodles can stand down. Over the weekend, actress Amy Schumer made this comment about gun violence..."don't worry, I'm on it. You'll see." Schumer's movie Trainwreck was playing in the Louisiana theater that John Houser shot up last month. She is also the star of something called "Inside Amy Schumer". Uh, no thanks.</li>

Cecil the lion was a Democrat, and it killed him. More precisely, male African lions are the Occupy Wall Street types of the animal kingdom. They lay around most of the day drawing crowds of gawkers, but never really contributing anything to the advancement of the species other than a little sperm. OK, a lot of sperm...but I digress.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZKbOKTfd8tMiKxyX0fnnB33Kz__loKJufPVFgH0v5vdkyp8FpzLRmzgjmtoPaCELBcF-SLIEgPWHg88Kgp3aCIzz0n4hoKM6OpSdX27pcapMmFGdHXAuTwBQNnv8AQS4EuzTa9nX1e2v/s1600/Sleeping+OWS+protesters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZKbOKTfd8tMiKxyX0fnnB33Kz__loKJufPVFgH0v5vdkyp8FpzLRmzgjmtoPaCELBcF-SLIEgPWHg88Kgp3aCIzz0n4hoKM6OpSdX27pcapMmFGdHXAuTwBQNnv8AQS4EuzTa9nX1e2v/s200/Sleeping+OWS+protesters.jpg" width="200" /></a>Regal in appearance but indolent at heart, male lions would prefer to lounge around the Serengeti than get up off their ass and run down a wildebeest. Remind you of anyone?<br />
<br />
<br />
Like the Occupy crowd, male lions sponge off the work of others, in their case female lions. Lionesses do the majority of the hunting for a pride of lions, then defer to the male who eats first from the kill. Hang on....Mrs. Crew is telling me dinner is ready.<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm back. Why the treatise on lion behavior you ask? Unless you have just teleported on to this rock from the third ring of Saturn, you have heard about Cecil the lion. By the way...it is "ses-uhl", not "see-suhl". Cecil was evidently the most beloved and well known lion in his home country of Zimbabwe, living a life of leisure and torpidity on a local game preserve.<br />
<br />
Enter Walter Palmer, DDS. Palmer, a Minnesota dentist, paid $55,000 for a lion hunt in early July that resulted in Cecil getting whacked. Most reports indicate that the professional hunter hired by Palmer and one other coaxed Cecil off the game preserve by dragging a dead animal behind a vehicle as a lure. Palmer then shot Cecil with a bow, wounding him. The hunting party tracked Cecil for 40 hours before he was ultimately dispatched with a gunshot from the professional hunter.<br />
<br />
When news of Cecil's demise leaked out, the world exploded. Twitter feeds were choked with angry animal lovers, many calling for the death of Dr. Palmer. Jimmy Kimmel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV5cYrlBn-U">broke down on national TV</a>. Facebook timelines filled up with pictures of Cecil, celebrities stopped <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw9eV6K_yHg">pimping the Iran deal</a> and started caterwauling about "Justice for Cecil". Dr. Palmer's dental practice was shuttered, and he has gone into hiding. Trespassers (some call them protestors) have spent the week littering Dr. Palmer's property with death threats and memorials to Cecil. These two moonbats dressed as lions going on a "dentist hunt"....<br />

<i>On a side note, I wonder how the cows whose skins cover the car seats of these two idiots feel? Seriously, cows have got to get a better marketing department. But I digress, again...</i><br />
<br />
With apologies to Edgar Wallace, twas liberalism that killed the beast. Had Cecil been a rock-ribbed, self sufficient conservative apex predator (like say, Sahib and the Crew), he would have been out working hard to support his family when the nefarious Dr. Palmer came calling. Instead, liberalism had taught him dependency, and he fell victim to the siren song of an easy meal.<br />
<br />
We can learn a lot from Cecil's unfortunate demise...<br />
<ul>
<li>Liberalism kills, be it in the Zimbabwean jungle or the asphalt jungle of the United States</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Initiative, ambition, and self-reliance will serve you better than sloth, handouts, and welfare</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Never trust anyone from Minnesota. This has been one of my personal mantras since the voters there sent this guy to the United States Senate.... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

P.S.- the Senator is the one with only one banana</div>
<br />
Millions upon millions of ethical hunters do more for the conservation of game species in one day than all the stuffed animal memorials and "dentist hunts" will ever do. That said, if Dr. Palmer and the others involved violated the game laws of Zimbabwe (and it appears they did), they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But please, let's not make this out to be the crime of the century.<br />

Recently, something my high school American History once said has really been sticking with me. He said that he never read conservative opinion columnists because he agreed with them. He read the liberal columnists because he wanted to know what the enemy was thinking. Hence, I have been spending some time reading the Huffington Post. After a few months of this, I can tell Mr. Englund what the liberals are thinking... NOTHING! The following is a typical interaction with a liberal commenter on the Huffington Post:</div>

Notice anything about where most of the problems areas are? We have such smart readers. You guessed it! The desert areas. Like in all other things, California has the biggest problem which prompted the following comment from yours truly, Sahib.</div>

A brilliant creation of Sahib's, this award goes to the celebrity who best embodies the brain-dead, liberal-dogma spouting, narcissistic traits that we all have come to love in our Hollywood heroes. <br />
<br />
I'm going to take some liberties today with Sahib's award, and announce a name change... The Hollywood Hall of Shame award will now (at least for this week) be known as "The Miley". I have a team of designers and sculptors feverishly working to produce a trophy, but can share this image of the prototype design with you today.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Anyway, on with the countdown. Several excellent contenders were vying for the very first Miley, but the judges selected Gwyneth "Fast and Furious" Paltrow. The actress was an absolute menace on the roads this week, cutting off a school bus while riding her scooter with daughter Apple (don't get me started...). Husband Chris Martin followed close behind on another Vespa, and the pair haughtily "zoomed" through traffic creating their own lane as they went. Watch for yourself....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/gnOLRA0Pftk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />
<br />
The Paltrow's narrowly averted making Applesauce out of their daughter, and in doing so are this week's Miley Award winners! <br />

<br />
There is a great deal of buzz over an upcoming literary release. In fact, the excitement level has surpassed even that of 14 year old girls over the publication of the last Twilight book. Yes, devoted readers, that's right... I am referring to the soon to be New York Times best seller, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report, or AR5 to its friends. (Wait, isn't that an assault rifle?)<br />
<br />
Don't worry, I won't spoil the cliff-hanger ending for you. Well, OK. If you insist. <br />
<br />
*****SPOILER ALERT!******<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The earth might be getting a lot warmer, a little warmer, or maybe cooling slightly. (Cue the three bears...)</li>
<li>The sea levels might rise a little or a lot.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Regardless of what happens, it's our fault. Which brings us to a new entry on Sahib's List of Questions Liberals Refuse to Answer: What is the ultimate goal of the apocalyptic climate change hand-wringers? I know the answer for the more cynical of us. Liberals want control AND they want to make money. How much has Algore made off his "green initiatives"? But I believe that there are truly people out there that believe the earth's entire polar bear population will soon be stranded on small patches of melting ice. This seems to upset them. It is for these people I pose the question: If I could give you god-like power to do whatever you wished with the earth's climate, what would you do? Initiate climate stasis? The earth has been warming and cooling since its creation. In the timeline of the earth's history, how can you take a sample size of 150 years and extrapolate a trend? So please tell me, what is the global climate goal?<br />
<br />
Which begs another question... Are global coastal populations going into cryogenic stasis for the next 100 or so years? The big scare that the AGW people like to use is the earth warms, land ice melts, and then sea levels rise thus drowning billions of people. Worst case scenarios have sea levels rising five feet by 2100. Apparently, between midnight on December 31, 2099, and 12:01 on January 1, 2100, sea levels are going to instantly jump five feet. (maybe)<br />
<br />
Hold on... the crack SACSTW climate staff is informing me that the sea level rise will NOT happen over night. So I guess people living on the coasts will have to move their deck chairs back 6 inches a year. Oh, the humanity!<br />
<br />
Oh, and anyone curious about the #1 entry on Sahib's List of Questions Liberals Refuse to Answer? I've posted it before. The first commenter to post it wins a free copy of AR5.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I was contemplating what to write today, the following quote kept running through my mind. It is one of my favorites and I feel really embodies the American spirit:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 19.03125px; text-align: justify;">"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "</span></blockquote>

Well devoted readers, it's been a while. While The Crew and I have taken a bit of a sabbatical to recharge the batteries and restore the creative juices, there is just so much going on in the world we couldn't stay away any longer. The world has become even a stranger place than when we took our little break. Here are just a few of the signs that the apocalypse may be upon us:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Twerk and selfie have been added to the Oxford dictionary. My late high school English teacher is spinning in his grave.</li>
<li>Hannah Montana has out-skanked Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton combined.</li>
<li>Democrats are wanting to bomb middle-eastern countries and Republicans are against it.</li>
<li>Beefcake Vlad Putin is actually photographed with his shirt ON and is now the voice of reason in the middle-east. </li>
<li>Some middle-aged white dude dressed like Beetlejuice has the pop "song of the summer".</li>
<li>Lindsay Lohan's 423 trip to rehab might be the one that takes.</li>
<li>Actual news headlines that include: "Weiner Accused of Abusing Staff" and "NYPD Denies Accusations of Vagina Slapping in Bong Throwing Incident"</li>
<li>And last but not least... Sahib has been posting comments on the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a>. (I feel so dirty...)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Those are just a few things that have caught my eye in recent months. Check back soon for more! It's good to be back.</div>

If you were paying attention, the Zimmerman trial afforded us a look at the best and worst of America.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Villains abounded, chief among them Governor Rick Scott, special prosecutor Angela Corey, race-baiter extraordinaire Al Sharpton, and the ravenous hordes of leftist media that demanded an innocent man be </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
railroaded into prison for the rest of his life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the hours and days after Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, the local police and DA's office investigated the incident. Realizing there was no evidence a crime had been committed, they declined to charge Zimmerman. That's when our country showed her seamy underbelly. Spearheaded by Obama, Sharpton, et al, many powerful players on the left began to exert enormous pressure on authorities in Florida. Governor Scott didn't have the spine to stand up for what was right, he crumbled under the onslaught and appointed a special prosecutor, Angela Corey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Corey went after Zimmerman with ferocity, and without regard for the evidence in the case. Her prosecutors </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
put on a case filled with supposition, hypotheticals, and outright fabrication. Zimmerman's defense countered with facts, forensics, and actual evidence. But in the end, George Zimmerman still needed a hero. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The heroes in this case weren't powerful politicians, wealthy influential lobbyists, or government bureaucrats. The heroes were the 6 ordinary, everyday American citizens on the jury. Those 6 women did what no one else had the strength to do. They stood up to the baying jackals of the main stream media, they ignored the howls of protest from the race-baiters in the black community. It would have been so easy for them to fold, to just convict Zimmerman and get on with their lives. But they chose the path of heroes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Those six ordinary women in Florida have restored a little bit of my faith in this country. The lesson for ALL of us to learn is this......What makes America a beacon of hope across the globe is not our rich and powerful politicians. It's not our bloated nanny state government, or our feckless media conglomerates. It's not the brain dead celebrities we fawn over. What makes this country the greatest in human history are the people. The ordinary people who perform acts of heroism everyday. Most of these acts occur far away from the spotlights and TV cameras. Once in a while however, we all get to see heroes in action. Heroes like the 6 American women of the Zimmerman jury. </div>

Well, I'm back. After a self-imposed exile over the last couple months, I just had to fire up the SACSTW presses again as we all await a verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. Obviously this trial has dominated the news in the last couple weeks, and I've heard a lot of griping about that from some folks. "Why should I care about that, it doesn't have anything to do with me?" is the common lament of the poorly informed. <br />
<br />
You should care about this trial and the verdict to come if any of these are true....<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>You legally carry a concealed weapon on your person</li>
<li>You are willing to defend yourself and your loved ones against a violent attack with whatever means are available to you</li>
<li>You would like to continue to believe that the courts are impartial, the last resort of the innocent, and are above the influence of political correctness.</li>
</ol>
<div>
All of my life, I have been told that every man gets his day in court. That when you find yourself embroiled in a dispute, victimized by a criminal, or perhaps even charged with a crime yourself, you will be treated fairly and impartially by the American justice system. Anything less than a complete acquittal of George Zimmerman means that all we have learned about our system no longer applies.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A conviction of this man not only means he will spend decades in prison for a crime he did not commit, it means that all of us are mere pawns to be moved around the board by the main-stream media, race baiters such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and liberal statists like Barack "if I had a son he would look like Trayvon" Obama. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Much is riding on the shoulders of the 6 jurors as they deliberate today. Not just the fate of George Zimmerman, but the confidence and trust we all SHOULD be able to have in the American system of justice. There's nothing any of us can do now but wait. </div>

The learned Crew has posted multiple times about the stupidity and lies of the left concerning gun violence and new gun control laws. He has done such a fantastic job I haven't felt that I had anything of particular note to add. That is until I found new (well, new to me) author Larry Correia and his Monster Hunter International series of books. If you like tender, sensitive, romantic vampires and werewolves like in the Twilight books, these books are not for you. If you like awesome weapons, nasty villains, and general mayhem, these books are for you. Think Rambo, meets Terminator, meets H. P. Lovecraft. What other series can offer an accountant, a school teacher, and a stripper working as a team to kick some monster booty? You can find his stuff on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or off his website:<div>

While looking to see when I could expect to see the next MHI book to be released, I ran across a post on his blog written last December after the Sandy Hook tragedy. It is by far one of the best treatises on the ignorance, fallacies and downright idiocy of liberal concepts of gun violence and gun control legislation. It is a little long, but well worth the time to read:</div>

After reading this yesterday, I decided I really needed to post a link to it. Then as I was checking out the headlines this morning, I saw these two stories:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/02/18013866-10-year-old-boy-among-victims-as-more-than-20-shot-on-one-chicago-day?lite" target="_blank">10-year-old boy among victims as more than 20 shot on one Chicago day </a> - Keep in mind that Illinois and Chicago have some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the country. Illinois is the ONLY state to have a complete ban on concealed carry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
followed up with this doozy...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/01/18003597-toomey-background-check-plan-failed-because-of-republican-politics?lite" target="_blank">Toomey: Background check plan failed because of Republican politics</a> - With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats? Ummmm, with very little due respect representative Toomey, maybe it was defeated because it would have prevented none, zero, zilch of the Sandy Hook, or Columbine, or Fort Hood, or Aurora deaths. Of course, lets never let something as silly as factual evidence get in the way of a politician's need to be seen "DOING SOMETHING!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that's just a one day sample that proves Larry's points.</div>
