With all the sorrow around here today over the slow motion demise of Hitlary “Roadham Cankles” Klinton, I figured ya’ll need a feel good story to warm your hearts and chase away the blues. What’s not to love about an ISIS executioner being executed in front of his next twelve victims?
“Sniper takes out ISIS executioner from a mile away.”
Via Foxnews:
A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away — just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report.
The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadi’s back, the UK’s Daily Star reported Sunday.
The pack exploded, killing the sadistic terrorist and three of his flunkies, who were supposed to film the execution, last month, the paper said.
The ISIS butcher — who reportedly delighted in burning hostages alive — had been on a US “kill list” for several months, sources told the paper, which did not identify the sniper or the executioner.
I don’t understand this guy. He writes about the degradation of his culture and wonders what people are going to do saying that people need to make a stand *now*. What about him? What is HE going to do? When is he going to MAKE A STAND? More importantly, FROM WHERE?
If he’s just going to get on his plane and leave, doesn’t that make him irrelevant?
I’m leaving London tomorrow, perhaps for the last time, and I can’t say I’m sad. This isn’t my city any more.
I first thought my long absence was the source of my malaise. I’ve been feeling this niggling sense of unease, as though either I had changed or London had changed — as though we didn’t really know each other any more. I worked it out in the end. What’s wrong with London is what’s wrong with every major European city now. It’s Islam.
Many here know that I’m an amateur astronomer. I spend quite a bit time looking up, into nighttime skies as well as daytime skies. You never know what you might see. Most of the time I see stars, nebulae, galaxies, planets and moons but during the daytime, equally amazing sights can be seen. There’s nothing quite like the grandeur of wide open skies to bring perspective to our earthly problems.
The image above is one of a number of phenomena that can be seen above the clouds after dark. For decades, pilots and astronauts reported seeing all kinds of strange things while flying above clouds or looking down from space. Apollo astronauts even reported “seeing” brilliant flashes of light while sleeping. Very few photographs of such phenomena existed until fairly recently. Twenty four/seven video taken from the orbiting International Space Station has confirmed many of these phenomena are real.
The metal-heads who thought Metallica had turned into tired old wussies should sit down and shut up for three minutes, because the quartet is back with a new song that ranks as its best work in decades.
On Thursday, Metallica teased its upcoming 11th album, “Hardwired . . . to Self-Destruct” (out Nov. 18), with the ferociously heavy track “Hardwired.” It’s a no-frills rager that addresses the seemingly perilous state of the world without mincing any words.
“We’re so f - - ked/S - - t out of luck,” growls singer James Hetfield with a palpable misanthropy, while Lars Ulrich’s gunshot drums capture him in the kind of form that few thought he still had in him. It’s the righteous blast of fury we didn’t know we needed . . . until now.
Although Metallica conquered the rock world with albums like the self-titled “black album” in 1991, the 21st century has been a leaner time for the California legends. Their stripped-down 2003 album “St. Anger” was poorly received, and while 2008’s “Death Magnetic” felt like an improvement, 2011’s “Lulu” — an experimental collaboration with Lou Reed — garnered some of the worst reviews of their entire career.
1909 10HP Blackstone oil engine was used for pumping water from a river to a market garden. The engine was sabotaged in the 1920s by someone blowing up the cylinder with explosives. A new cylinder was installed and the engine was returned to service for a number of years when it eventually fell into disuse. A number of river floodings submerged the engine and it was eventually partially buried in silt. It was recovered in the 1990s and in 1997 it was dismantled, cleaned and started again after many years of neglect. The starting procedure requires heating of the hot bulb with a blow lamp in order to vaporise the fuel ( kerosene ) and to preheat the internal combustion chamber to allow fuel ignition.

In the universe there are billions and billions of galaxies. The following image is an artists representation of our home in the universe known as the Milky Way Galaxy. On the right in the small box there is a small yellow dot (blown up on the inset) that shows the maximum theoretical distance that humanity’s first broadcast radio signals could have traveled since they were first broadcast 100 years ago.
Radio waves travel at the speed of light. At that speed, radio waves could travel around the earth at the equator seven times in one second! Those same radio waves will take approximately 100,000 years to cross the Milky Way galaxy.
HEAT STREET EXCLUSIVE – A French government committee has heard testimony, suppressed by the French government at the time and not released to the media, that the killers in the Bataclan tortured their victims on the second floor of the club.
Police witnesses in Parliament said they vomited when they saw the disfigured bodies.
Wahhabist killers apparently gouged out eyes, castrated victims, and shoved their testicles in their mouths. They may also have disemboweled some poor souls. Women were stabbed in the genitals – and all the torture was, victims told police, filmed for Daesh or Islamic State propaganda. For that reason, medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families, investigators said.
But prosecutors claimed these reports of torture were “a rumor” on the grounds that sharp knives were not found at the scene. They also claimed that maybe shrapnel had caused the injuries.
This is for Clammy but it should work for anyone. She goes by Stephanie Shepard these days but she’ll affectionately remain Clammy to many of us who welcomed her to TBP by beating her into submission. She had a rough start here but she is tough as nails. She’s twice as tough and more intelligent than Peter Harris, Doug Becker and Robert S. Finnegan ever will be……even in their dreams!
I believe I first came across this idea on the radio from one of those financial advice gurus. Not the flim flam artists but the ones who offer realistic advice that if followed diligently, will pay off. I believe it was Dave Ramsey but I’m too lazy to check.
Anyway, this is a method that will allow you to upgrade your car every 12-18 months or so without going into debt and also allow you to end up in a brand new car in five years or less with no debt.
The first step is to be happy with what you’ve got because you’re going to need it a bit longer. In the event you don’t have a car then you need to scrape up whatever you can to purchase the best you can afford for now whether that’s a bicycle, bus pass or $500 model POS (piece of shit) hoopty. If you can’t scrape up $500-$1500 to get started then this method would never work for you in a million years because you have no discipline.
I know videos aren’t terribly popular here unless they are under 30 seconds in length contain bouncing titties or involve music you can leave playing in the background. However, unless you’ve seen this video before I can guarantee you’ll learn something new. Give this just 20 minutes. If you don’t learn something new or something that doesn’t inspire you to finish watching in the first 20 minutes then by all means give it a pass.
The speaker is Dr. Bill Warner and I posted another of his videos (they’re all great) in the ISLAMIC HISTORY LESSON thread the other day when Crat, a long time TBP reader, requested some supporting info for this statement from that post:
“This strategy of jihad and Sharia law has led to the deaths of approximately 270 million non-Muslims and the total destruction of countless civilizations.”
Dr. Warner covers that in this video as well. He studies all of this stuff for his own amusement and edification and he does not use the innerwebs for any of it. According to him he reads giant, really old, dusty books that no one else will read for his info. I found the title of this video “Islamic Attack on Chattanooga: Why It Happened and What to Do” a bit misleading but it takes nothing away from this presentation.
Dr. Warner touches on his personal experience and knowledge of official US and TN State government policy with regard to islam. I’m sure it won’t shock you but you may be surprised. He also touches on what you can do to educate your children (and others) about islam because your children are in fact being taught about islam but they are not being taught what you might think.
The best thing about his talks is that Dr. Warner looks at things from an entirely intellectual perspective. His has no stated axe to grind with islam or muslims. He simply explains it in the explicit way that the Koran, Haddiths and Siras do. He gives you the undeniable facts plus the ability to read the source material if you care to educate yourself further. I found it interesting that he makes no judgments about islam. He is the ultimate professor (a former job of his) IMO and I could listen to him all day because he does what all great professors do…….he makes you think. His talks are like brain candy!
I’d estimate that the majority of TBP readers are probably Christian and a much smaller number attend church regularly so this may be of interest to those of you identifying with the Christian faith. Based on his own self education with respect to islam, he has concluded that the resurgence of islam since the end of WWII is due primarily to the suppression of Christianity since that time. He uses the word “resurgence” specifically because colonialism under the French and English suppressed islam and sharia in the middle east during that time. Apart from that relatively short period, islam has been on a near continuous 1400 jihad against non-muslim civilization. He even points out that we in the west measure time with a watch or clock and muslims measure time with a calendar.
The talk is only 55 minutes long with about a 45 minute Q&A which is rather unremarkable except for one smarmy muslim piece of shit who initially asks two questions and then comes back a bit later to ask another smug question and Dr. Warner’s response is perfect!
