So they're calling them the Barbie Bandits

Around lunchtime today I noticed most of the MSM websites were running a story on a couple of teen looking girls that robbed a Bank of America branch inside a Kroger grocery store. The security cameras got a couple of great shots of the girls and I'm am betting by now they have already figured out who the girls are. Or have they?

Here's a picture of the actual robbers:

Gore: Do as I say, not as I do.

A great quote from a story in USA Today:

Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.

I bet the fool that nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize felt like an ass-clown when he heard about this.

From the Tennessee Center for Policy Research:

Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

Standoff with student shuts down UM-Rolla campus

ROLLA, Mo. (AP) -- A distraught graduate student claiming to have a bomb and anthrax sparked a police standoff in a classroom building Tuesday that shut down the University of Missouri-Rolla for several hours, officials said.

Nearly two dozen people, including a faculty member and eight other students, were being decontaminated after a white, powdery substance was found.

School officials said "possible bomb materials" were also found when the man was taken into custody. Officials described the man as a graduate student who was apparently depressed and upset about his grades.

The standoff started around 2:30 a.m. in a civil engineering building on campus.

Acting Police Chief Mark Kearse said that when police arrived, the student held up a bag and said: "This is a bomb." He was armed with a knife and also claimed to have anthrax, Kearse said.

Police used a stun gun to subdue him. They also found a four-page note in which the student threatened to destroy the building, Kearse said.

The Fort Leonard Wood Explosive Operations Division was investigating the possibility that a bomb may be in the building, and members of the Missouri National Guard were called to campus.

The man's identity and nationality were not released, though school spokesman Lance Feyh said he was an international student. The man was taken to a nearby hospital to determine if he was contaminated with anthrax, city spokesman Scott Grahl said.
Mayor William Jenks and Kearse said the student had been distraught over his grades, which may have led to the incident. Jenks said the student "had problems and was depressed."

The 5,850-student technological research and engineering school campus in south-central Missouri was shut down during the incident and classes were canceled for the day while officers investigated.

"We have no hard evidence that there's anything wrong in the building but we simply can't take a chance," Jenks said. "We're taking a very cautious approach."

Those exposed to the powder included a faculty member in whose lab the graduate student was found and eight students working nearby, said campus spokeswoman Mary Helen Stoltz. The remaining people exposed to the powder were emergency personnel who responded to the scene, she said. It wasn't yet clear what the substance was.
Stoltz reiterated Kearse's belief that the student was "using the threat of terror to get attention."

"We believe the situation is completely under control," she said. "For now everybody's safe."

The only thing I can get out of anyone is the suspect is from the "International Community" that's PC code for Middle Eastern.

Khadeeja Islamic Center: Sulejmana Talovic and Wassef Ali Hassoun. I don't know where I'm going with this.

Something caught my attention in a post by Debbie Schlussel from today or yesterday aboutt he Salt Lake City Shooter Sulejman Talovic. She mentioned Khadeeja Islamic Center. I had heard that somewhere, maybe in the last two or three year but I can put my finger on it. I'm am going to keep researching until I figure this one out.

It seems Marine deserter Wassef Ali Hassoun who deserted back in 2003 and fake his abduction was from Salk Lake City.

From Answers.com

Wassef Ali Hassoun (born January 1, 1980) is a United States Marine Corps Corporal who was charged with desertion for leaving his unit and apparently engaging with others in a hoax to make it appear that he had been captured by terrorists on June 19, 2004 while serving in Iraq. Originally listed as having deserted, the Lebanese-American Marine was then thought to have been taken hostage by Iraqis who were thought to have befriended him.

Could these two have worshopped at the same Mosque? When there's smoke there's fire.












From the Muslim Forum of Utah:

PRESS RELEASE: Trolley Square Shooting Not Related to Islam & Muslims 2/14/07 The tragic Trolley Square Shooting that happened recently was not related to Islam and Muslims. Our hearts go out to the families that were hurt in this event. The people hurt and killed could have been our own families and friends that attend the nearby Mosque, so we are happy that the perpetrator was killed before he could hurt anybody else in the community. Our Bosnian contacts in the community say that Sulejman Talovic, an 18 year old high school drop out and Bosnian immigrant, was a young man who lived a hermit type of lifestyle. Political terrorism is not a factor, given his lifestyle and lack of adherence to Islam. He was not known to have been religious, but infact secular in nature and never attended any of the local Mosques and did not associate with the community. Even if he had been religious, that does not represent the communty, because his actions were anti-Muslim and hurt Muslims more than anybody. Some say he was from a gypsy background. There are alot of American, Mexican, African-American, Bosnian, Somalian, Saudi, Arab, Afghani, Turkish, Iraqi, Lebanese, Jordanian, Palestinian Pakistani, Persian, Iranian and other youth that are secular and drink alcohol, fornicate, gamble, and go to clubs in Utah. They are not representative of the overall Muslim community within Utah or abroad. If he was from a non-Muslim background, his faith would never have been mentioned in the news and media. sltrib article>>> Also, please visit Islam Denounces Terrorism.

Let's not forget the wife beater Imam is from Khadeeja Islamic Center.

WEST VALLEY CITY - Imam Shuaib-ud Din has been terminated from his position as religious leader of the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake amid allegations of domestic violence.

Police said they responded to a "domestic-related incident" at Din's home a week ago, and the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office reported an attempt to serve a protective order against him on Thursday.

Contacted by phone, a relative of the imam said he was in Chicago now but would not comment on the allegations. The relative acknowledged that Din and his wife were having marital problems but said the imam was driven out of town by disgruntled members of the society's board.

Keith Ellison calls cops on Republican congressman for smoking cigar

Ellison Sends 'Sorry' Note to Tancredo For To-Do Over Cigar Complaint

WASHINGTON — A freshman Democratic lawmaker sent a hand-written note Wednesday night to a neighboring Republican congressman to apologize for the situation that erupted after his staff complained to U.S. Capitol Police about cigar smoke.

No word yet that Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison is sorry that his staff called the cops in the first place to complain that Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo's cigar was stinking up the hallway they share in the Longworth House Office Building.

Ellison "apologizes for the situation" because "it was so blown out of proportion," Carlos Espinosa, Tancredo’s press secretary, told FOX News.

Tancredo told FOX News on Thursday that he had only read the first portion of the Ellison letter because he was in a rush to get the House floor to speak about Iraq. He said he would discuss the note once he can fully review it after he returns from attending the funeral of Rep. Charlie Norwood, R-Ga., who died earlier this week after a long battle with cancer.

News of the complaint were first reported in Wednesday editions of The Hill newspaper. Ellison's staff called the police to snuff out Tancredo's cigar. Tancredo, who often relaxes with a cigar, is allowed to smoke in his office. The police officer told Ellison's people that, but for due diligence went to check on the smoke.

Sulejmen Talovic

Salt Lake City Shooter Was Sulejmen Talovic; 5 Dead 4 Wounded

Salt Lake City, UT (AHN) - Police have identified the man behind a deadly shooting at the Trolley Square mall, as 18-year-old Sulejmen Talovic, a resident of Salt Lake City.

Tavolic killed 5 people and wounded four others, but Salt Lake City police chief Chris Burbank believes the trench coat-wearing teen would have killed more people if not for the fact that he ran into an off duty Ogden police officer, who confronted him, taking his attention away from killing shoppers to what became a fatal shootout with police.

Chief Baker says the shooting "appears to be very random. There was no sense to why he was doing what he was doing. The suspect in this particular circumstance had one thing on his mind, and that was to kill a large number of people."

Random? You have got to be kidding me. Why is it that an idiot like myself can put two and two togehter and figure this out but the Chief thinks it's random? Sounds to me like he needs to be put back on the beat to brush up on his policing skills.

Moonbattery has it right.

A qucik search shows a listing for a Talovic in Salk Lake City shows the following:

Suljo Talovic
1051 W 400 N
SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84116

This address is only 3.9 miles from the Trolly Square Mall. See map below:

Could this be Sulejmen's address?

:::::::::::::Update:::::::::

This is his address, just found a link that mentions his father's name as Suljo:

Talovic's parents, Suljo and Sabira, made no public comment on their son. The young man's aunt told reporters gathered outside her slain nephew's home that she was just as confused as anyone about his acts of violence.

Another Rape at Duke?

You know, I said that too. I didn't hear anything about it.

The origianl rape case was all over the news. Within days it was common to hear about
this story several times a day on cnn, foxnews and many other networks.

Five days after this new case and you can bet not many people know about this case. To be fair there are a few stories here, here and here.

But if you notice, some of these stories don't mention a few key facts. The victim: white. The perp: black. It's strange, where are all the protestors? Where's Jesse Jackson? You're boy Al Sharpton? Nowhere to be found?

Mary Katharine Ham said it best

The mainstream media has bent over backward to keep race out of this. Even those who first gave a description of the alleged rapist as a “black man” later redacted that from their reports. The News & Observer never printed it at all. And none has pointed out, as the Duke Chronicle has done, that the alleged victim was white, making this a mirror image of the Duke lacrosse case.

Some maintained all along last spring that their protests were not about race but about men’s violence against women. Still others tried to fan racial and class tensions by saying that if these were black men accused of raping a white woman, the man would be in jail. Well, now we know two things: it was always about race for the pot bangers and the Group of 88 professors at Duke, and it is demonstrably true, after Sunday’s incident, that a black man can be accused of raping a white woman and still be on the street.

It was never about protecting women. I know that because I live in a neighborhood that has the dubious honor of being the namesake of at least one serial rapist. There were few candlelight vigils; there was no national media attention; there were no pot-bangers when the women of my neighborhood couldn't take their dogs for walks at dusk. And, those black-on-white rapes just didn't bring the activist out in people the way the Duke non-rape did.

Deadbeat Dad wants Missouri to apologize for slavery

Missouri lawmaker seeks apology for slavery

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The state would formally apologize for permitting more than 140 years of slavery under a proposal that would make Missouri one of the first in the country to make such a move.

The resolution, which details the history of Missouri slavery, states that "an apology for centuries of brutal dehumanization and injustices cannot ease the past, but confession of the wrongs can speed racial healing and reconciliation."

Rep. Talibdin El-Amin said Missouri should be one of the first states to apologize for slavery because the Dred Scott case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that black people in the United States cannot sue, originated in Missouri.

"That case set a legal precedent, and I'm looking for Missouri to set another precedent and be one of the first states to apologize for slavery," El-Amin, D-St. Louis, said Monday.

-from here-

It seems El-Amin needs to clean up his own back yard.

(KSDK) - A St. Louis politician, whose ads promoting his campaign for the state house describe him as a "devoted father," owes more than $7,000 past due child support payments.

U.S. military: Iraqi lawmaker is U.S. Embassy bomber

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A man sentenced to death in Kuwait for the 1983 bombings of the U.S. and French embassies now sits in Iraq's parliament as a member of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's ruling coalition, according to U.S. military intelligence.

Jamal Jafaar Mohammed's seat in parliament gives him immunity from prosecution. Washington says he supports Shiite insurgents and acts as an Iranian agent in Iraq.

U.S. military intelligence in Iraq has approached al-Maliki's government with the allegations against Jamal Jafaar Mohammed, whom it says assists Iranian special forces in Iraq as "a conduit for weapons and political influence."

Repeated efforts by CNN to reach Jamal Jafaar Mohammed for comment through the parliament, through the ruling Shiite Muslim coalition and the Badr Organization -- the Iranian-backed paramilitary organization he once led -- have been unsuccessful. (Watch how a convicted terrorist became an Iraqi lawmaker )

A Kuwaiti court sentenced Jamal Jafaar Mohammed to death in 1984 in the car bombings of the U.S. and French embassies the previous December. Five people died in the attacks and 86 were wounded.

He had fled the country before the trial.

The Bills of Missouri Rep. Talibdin El-Amin

Just an on going entry pointing out the bills Talibdin has submitted. Let's see if we can find a pattern.

1) The state would formally apologize for permitting more than 140 years of slavery under a proposal that would make Missouri one of the first in the country to make such a move.

2) Rename "Mark McGwire Highway" to honor former state Sen. John Bass, a veteran city politician and educator. (Sen. John Bass, the first African-American comptroller for the city of St. Louis)
