Holy war?
Holy war? Holy crap! Forget all the distractions in the news. Erdogan is apparently going off the deep end.
ISTANBUL, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday strongly criticized Austria’s move to close mosques and expel Turkish-funded imams, slamming the decision as anti-Islamic and promising a response.
“These measures taken by the Austrian prime minister are, I fear, leading the world toward a war between the cross and the crescent,” Erdogan said in a speech in Istanbul.
Hello, liberals, progressives, and fellow travelers! Wakey, wakey! Are you woke?
This is exactly the thing that many of us have been warning against, for the past ten years, and more. Islam is most certainly NOT a "religion", and absolutely not a "religion of peace". Islam is a complete society, with a religion, politics, military, and everything necessary for a complete civilization. And, Islam is intolerant of EVERY FORM OF religion, politics, military, and all else that is necessary for a civilization.
Austria decides to crack down on Muslim activists, and Erdogan is talking about a holy war.
His comments came the day after the Austrian government announced it could expel up to 60 Turkish-funded imams and their families and would shut down seven mosques as part of a crackdown on “political Islam,” triggering fury in Ankara.
Interior Minister Herbert Kickl of the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe), the junior partner in Austria’s coalition government said the move concerned imams with alleged links to the Turkish-Islamic Cultural Associations (ATIB) organisation, a branch of Turkey’s religious affairs agency Diyanet.
Isn't Erdogan supposed to be the head of a "secular government"?? WTF is he talking about, "holy war"? I guess he has put the lie to that old claim. The Turkish army has failed in it's mission to safeguard secularism.

“Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalization have no place in our country,” Chancellor Sebastian Kurz of the ruling center-right People’s Party said.

The moves follow a “law on Islam”, passed in 2015, which banned foreign funding of religious groups and created a duty for Muslim organisations to have “a positive fundamental view towards (Austria’s) state and society”.
“Political Islam’s parallel societies and radicalising tendencies have no place in our country,” said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who, in a previous job as minister in charge of integration, steered the Islam bill into law.
This topic only came to my attention, several minutes ago. It popped up in my news feed, at OneAmerica - http://www.oann.com/austria-plans-to-shut-down-mosques-expel-foreign-funded-imams/ Newsfeed says the story was posted at 4:30 AM, but when I click it at about 11:00 AM, it has been taken down. A web search turns up many hits, almost all of them on foreign nations. None on America's mainstream media. Search terms used are "austria expel imam". Try it - Duckduckgo gives me pages of results, none of them from abc/nbc/cbs/cnn/fox/turner/hearst. None.
Helluva thing, if the whole Korean thing gets defused, while Islam is busy launching a holy war against the rest of the world.
What say the apologists?

Mallorca has been a wild, wild party place since before I joined the Navy. It had a reputation, even then, of "anything goes". If you have the cash, pretty much anything you desire can be yours, for a night at least. The stories allude to the fact that the authorities generally look the other way, and don't get involved.
But, the illegals are changing that:
Taxi drivers say they know of the women as they frequently give them lifts and believe they are raking in around 1,000 euros each a day.
"During the past weekend, 50 to 60 prostitutes approached visitors offering 'full' services for 40 pounds, that is, the standard price they have established. All this is an excuse," it is alleged.
"The real purpose is to approach drunken young people. Prostitutes are specialists in capturing the attention of tourists in the area, cajole them and lead them to some dark alley. Once there, several of the women beat and rob their victims."
British businesses fed-up with the situation have staged a demonstration in Calvia calling for urgent action.
One trader said: "We are fed up with a group of undesirables spoiling our activity season after season."
The organisers say the prostitutes stir up trouble which goes against the long list of "co-existence" rules drawn up by Calvia council. The authority has put up signs in Magaluf and the other nightlife areas warning of 200 euro fines for bad behaviour.
They haven't been able to get official residence papers and as some have children, the only work they can do is prostitution, they added.
Nigeria? I guess the Nigerian princes aren't getting enough action on the internet these days. They have to send their women to the outside world to hustle up some money.

A (very) small number of Soylentils may remember my Rag dog. A couple of the kids had spent the day working on their old POS vehicles. That evening, they came into the house, one of them holding a mostly dirty rag, and wiping his hands on that rag. It still had a couple white corners showing, the rest was a mottled brown and black. Kid asks me if I want a puppy. "No, I don't need a puppy, I'm not going to spend time house breaking and training a puppy, thank you very much." Asshole hands me that damned dirty rag. It wasn't a rag, it was the puppy he was trying to give away. He proceeds to brag up the Australian sheep dog, telling me how great they are, how smart they are, and how loyal, blah blah blah.
Needless to say, I ended up keeping the puppy, and named her Rags. She's a sweet dog. Very quiet, most of the time. She didn't bark for months - literally. It shocked me when she finally let out a deep throated bark at something in the yard, I didn't think she had it in her.
The thing about puppies is, they grow up. Just like kids, they grow up. Rags got out, met some guy she liked, and made some puppies of her own.
So recently, she's been pregnant, then finally had a litter of little rags. And, she's not been eating much. When she does eat, she prefers to snitch some cat food, rather than eat dog food. Or, she sits and begs while we are cooking or eating.
More recently, I've "inherited" a pack of dogs that are basically abandoned. I've sort of shopped for less expensive dog food. I'm not a Wal-Mart shopper, but I've even gone into Wal-Mart to see how expensive their dog food is.
Well, they had a fifty pound bag of Ol' Roy bacon flavored dog food for twenty bucks. Not a super great price, but not bad. I grabbed one. Brought it home, opened it up, and shared some out for all the dogs. Here comes Rags - she's escaped the yard, and run all the way up to where I have the other dogs penned up. And, she bulls her way in to the pack, scarfing up that Ol' Roy bacon flavored dog food.
I'm questioning - does she really like that dog food, or is she just socializing, dog style, and competing for the food like dogs do?
Brought some of that bacon flavor stuff back to the house, put it down for her, and she's still gobbling it up! Yes, the little Mama actually likes the Ol' Roy! She walked around the cat's bowl, and went to her own bowl, to eat it.
Her fat little puppies need lots of milk, so she needs to eat. Looks like I'll be buying WalMart brand dog food from now on.
Bacon. Everything is better with bacon!
Unlike some other brands of dog food, Wal-Mart branded dog food doesn't have a lot of nutritional information. The best analysis available seems to be here: https://www.dogfoodinsider.com/ol-roy-dog-food-review/ Rather low quality food, but if the silly dog eats it, then it's better than high dollar food that she won't eat!
And - BACON!
Independents Outnumber Republicans in California
California Republicans hit rock bottom
The state that spawned the "Reagan Revolution’’ and Richard M. Nixon just experienced a watershed moment — the California Republican Party was officially relegated to third-party status.
In the culmination of the withered state GOP’s long slide toward near-political irrelevance here, new voter registration data released this week show the once-robust party trails behind both Democrats and “no party preference” in the nation's most populous state. The California Republican Party is now outnumbered by independent voters by 73,000, according to Political Data Inc., which tabulates voter file data from county registrars.

It's About Time to Drink Cockroach Milk
Take a swig of cockroach milk, the next great food trend
Roach crystal juice seems like something the Gates Foundation would promote.
If you want to live in space, you're going to learn to love roaches.
If you want to live on Earth as a non-(m|b|tr)illionaire, you're going to learn to love roaches.
If it's too difficult to extract the milk, you can simply eat the roach whole.
