Flopping Aces ^ | 02-28-18 | Daniel John Sobieski
The photo car says it all about Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel: his self-serving vanity, his shallow and blatant political ambitions, and his insensitive self-absorption visible in the wake of the Parkland school shooting that left 17 dead. Police cars are for patrolling the community, not for the political self-promotion perpetrated by Sheriff Israel in 2015: A Broward County sheriff's spokeswoman confirmed vehicle wraps featuring a large image of Sheriff Scott Israel, which cost taxpayers $12,500 in total to cover five Ford Focus vehicles, have been removed. The move came days after a Local 10 News report on the cars in which one of Israel's opponents,...

Well done, Mr. President. In all honesty, I only have one beef with President Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey: he should've been given the heave-ho on Day One. But there's no need to quibble. The deed has been done. "You are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately," the president wrote in his letter to Mr. Comey. There was no need for literary panache. You're fired. Democrats, meanwhile, are fuming over their Cocoa Puffs. They hate Mr. Comey, but they hate President Trump even more. Just a few months ago - Democrats were calling for the...

Posted 2008 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:35,37 KJV All the outrage over Bernie Madeoff is pretty surprising. Sure he bilked people out of everything they had, putting them in financial disaster and bankruptcy? So he lied to people over decades taking everything they saved in a fraudulent investment Ponzi scheme bankrupting Pension/Charity and College funds. So he was lying to investigators about those cooked books...
 

Barney Frank: Scalia Was ‘The Leading Advocate of Fag-Burning’

Breitbart ^ | 11/29/16
On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” former Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) quipped that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia “was actually the leading advocate of fag-burning, not flag burning,” which caused confusion for President-Elect Donald Trump. Frank, after noting that Justice Antonin Scalia opposed bans on flag-burning, said Trump “cited Scalia as his favorite judge. I think there was a pronunciation problem there. Scalia was actually the leading advocate of fag-burning, not flag-burning, and I think that’s where he got himself a little confused.”

Ron Glass, the television actor best known for his roles in Barney Miller and Firefly, has died at the age of 71, Variety reports. Glass got his start in television the early 1970s, but it was his casting as Detective Ron Harris on the ABC cop sitcom Barney Miller that brought him fame. (Glass didn’t appear in the original 1974 pilot, but the show was almost entirely recast before its official 1975 debut.) The show ran for eight seasons and earned Glass an Emmy nomination in 1982 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Variety or Music Series. Christopher...

NBC News ^ | 11/26/16 | Adam Howard
Veteran television and film actor Ron Glass died Saturday at age 71, his agent said Saturday. Glass died of respiratory failure, Jeffrey Leavitt told NBC News. "Ron was a private, gentle and caring man," Leavitt said. "He was an absolute delight to watch on screen. Words cannot adequately express my sorrow." Any avid TV watcher of the last 35 years or so is likely familiar with Glass' face. He is perhaps best known for his Emmy-nominated role as NYPD Det. Ron Harris on the classic cop sitcom "Barney Miller," which aired from 1975 to 1982 on ABC. Glass is the...

Cybercast News Service ^ | July 26, 2016 | 4:24 PM EDT | Lauretta Brown
Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) spoke at the Democratic National Convention’s LGBT Caucus meeting on Tuesday where he harshly criticized GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s promise to appoint a Supreme Court Justice like the late Antonin Scalia. “There has never been a more highly placed militant homophobe in the history of the United States,” Frank said of Scalia. “He was a bigot.” […] This is not the first time Frank has called Justice Scalia a homophobe. He most recently told Slate following Scalia’s death that he “was troubled that his homophobia never got mentioned when he died.” …

Barney Frank, a long serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts, voiced concerns regarding the safety of gay Americans, an "Islamic element" in terrorism and an increased need for surveillance and gun control. Frank spoke of the attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando this weekend in an interview with the New York Times Monday.

Bernie Sanders may be feeling the "Barn," as in Barney Frank. Although that did nothing to slow him down in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Yet Barney simply burned Bernie the other day, and it was as though the Earth stood still when it became clear to progressives that Barney does not feel the Bern. As a matter of fact, Barney Frank, the former veteran U.S. representative from Brookline, thinks Sanders does not know what he is talking about when he attacks the country's financial institutions for being corrupt.
 

Hillary Fan Barney Frank Accuses Bernie Sanders of 'McCarthyism'

NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
Bernie Sanders: rabid right-winger? A senior Hillary surrogate has accused Bernie Sanders of "McCarthyism," of all things. Has Bernie's big Wisconsin win knocked the Clinton campaign off its moorings? Five years ago, I wrote that the irascible Barney Frank could pick a fight in a phone booth. Further proof came on Chris Hayes' MSNBC show tonight, as Hillary-fan Frank jumped ugly with the Bernie-backer Robert Reich. The ostensible topic was whether Sanders had the substance to back up his plan to break up the big banks. But the big bottom line is that Barney Frank accused Sanders of "McCarthyite" tactics...

Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) praised Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his view on gay marriage on Thursday's broadcast of CNBC's Squawk Box. Cruz appeared on the show prior to Frank and said though he believes marriage is between one man and one woman, that it is up to each state to decide what their marriage law should be. "I support the Constitution letting each state decide each marriage law consistent with the values of their citizens," Cruz said. "If the citizens of California decide they want to allow gay marriage, that's a decision for them." Barney Frank said Cruz's...

Infamous Anti-gun Sheriff Shoots Himself in the Hand While Cleaning his Gun (Looks like Barney Fife)

Buzzpo ^ | December 19, 2015 | Eric Reed
DES MOINES, Iowa – A fairly well-known anti-gun sheriff seems to have shot himself in the hand on Wednesday night while cleaning his firearm. Des Moines County Sheriff Mike Johnstone negligently discharged a round into his left hand, and was subsequently transported to the hospitals emergency room. His injury has been described by medical personnel as non-life threatening, but a hand surgeon was called in to assist. According to the Iowa Firearms Coalition, Johnstone has advocated for more and more gun-free zones. But perhaps Johnstone is most well-known for his statement from 5 years ago. When Iowa’s concealed carry law...
