Hamas Celebrates Obama Victory with Massive Rocket Attack

Posted on by

After issuing a warning to Barack Obama to “learn from Bush’s mistakes” Islamo-fascist terror organization Hamas celebrated America’s historic moment by launching a large salvo of rockets into Israel. Al-Reuters gives the Hamas party line:

GAZA (Reuters) – Hamas fired dozens of rockets at Israel on Wednesday after Israeli forces killed six Palestinian militants in an eruption of violence that disrupted a four-month-old truce along the Gaza Strip’s frontier.

The rocket attacks, which included salvoes that landed in the coastal Israeli city of Ashkelon, caused no casualties. Israeli forces later killed a seventh Palestinian gunman who the military said had taken part in cross-border rocket fire.

Sources in Hamas, an Islamist group that runs Gaza, said calm could return if Israel held its fire. Israel’s defense minister also signaled it did not want the truce to collapse.

A breakdown of the Egyptian-brokered Gaza ceasefire would pose yet another challenge to U.S. efforts, opposed by Hamas, to achieve a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.

Buried in the report is the reason Israeli launched operations in Gaza:

On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes killed five militants and Israeli soldiers shot dead a gunman during an incursion into the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces quit the coastal enclave in 2005 and Hamas took control after routing Fatah forces two years later.

The Israeli military said the aircraft went into action after militants attacked soldiers who entered Gaza to destroy a tunnel that Hamas had planned to use to kidnap Israeli soldiers.

Hours later, an Israeli missile killed a field commander from the Palestinian faction Islamic Jihad in north Gaza. Two other gunmen were wounded. The Israeli military said the strike targeted a rocket squad that had fired across the border.

Via Gateway Pundit. Fausta has more on the world’s reaction to Obama’s win, which seems to be a uniform “Hey, now you’re like us! Raise your taxes and let’s start killing some Jews!” from most the usual suspects.

Update: Iran is also celebrating. Z.A.C. has details.

So You Think Democrats Aren’t Trying to Steal the Elections?

The police had to intervene, watch for how little respect the two “Black Panthers” have for the cops:

Elsewhere in Philadelphia Republican poll watchers have been thrown out of voting stations  by Democrats who didn’t want them witnessing the theft of our Republic:

GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in at least half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.

A Pennsylvania judge previously ruled that court-appointed poll watchers could be NOT removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, but that is exactly what is happening, according to sources on the ground.

It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.

Denying access to the minority (in this case Republican) poll watchers and inspectors is a violation of Pennsylvania state law. Those who violate the law can be punished with a misdemeanor and subjected to a fine of $1,000 and sent to prison between one month and two years.

Those on site are describing the situation as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.

Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

“Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process,” said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall.

The City of Brotherly Love was roiled in controversy during the 2004 election because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry before the polls had opened. A man also used a gun to intimidate poll workers at Ward 30, division 11 in 2004.

Philly isn’t the only place where voter fraud is blatant and obvious. Via Hot Air:

It’s like they want to rub our faces in how illegitimate the election will be.

These people are rioting because their team won, imagine what they would do if their Messiah won. Or worse lost. Via Michelle Malkin:

Noted liar Erica Jong is in Europe weaving breathless stories about escaping the “Bush police state” (the one where you’re allowed complete freedom of speech) and the coming civil war here. She’s a tool but I have a feeling that the eight years of lefty agitprop will be exploding election night no matter who the winner. Be prepared.

There are people with vested interests in election night violence and they’ll go to any lengths to get kick things off.

Gulf Cartel Preparing for “Confrontation” with U.S. Law Enforcement in South Texas

Posted on by

From The Chron:

McALLEN — Frustrated by a crackdown on South Texas drug smuggling routes, the Mexican Gulf Cartel is stockpiling high-powered weapons and recruiting local gang members on both sides of the border to prepare for possible confrontations with U.S. law enforcement, according to an FBI intelligence report.

The regional leader of the cartel’s enforcer group, the Zetas, Jaime “El Hummer” Gonzalez Duran ordered dozens of reinforcements to Reynosa, Mexico, across the river from McAllen, the report said.

“These replacements are believed to be armed with assault rifles, bulletproof vests and grenades and are occupying safe houses throughout the McAllen area,” the report obtained by The McAllen Monitor said.

The Monitor reported in today’s editions that the local FBI office refused to comment on the report.

Erik Vasys, an FBI spokesman in San Antonio, refused to discuss the details of the report but told The Associated Press “we acknowledge the Zetas are a significant problem in Mexico and they have the potential to pose a significant problem to law enforcement on this side of the border.”

Less than two weeks ago, the Border Patrol, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Hidalgo County sheriff announced that they would not be intimidated by cartel violence. At the time, they would only say that they felt the smugglers had become increasingly confrontational and the agencies planned to increase their coordination.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said at the time that his deputies patrolling near the Rio Grande would be issued high-powered rifles and authorized to return fire.

The Gulf Cartel is thought to be planning to retaliate against American officials who have successfully cracked down on drug running and stood firm in the face of threats of violence. If the Cartels launch a major offensive in the states, it will be in essence a declaration of war on America by a non-state actor, just as the 9/11 attacks were. We are more limited in our options however, as Mexico isn’t harboring the cartels, but actively fighting them.

A cartel hit on our police will also prove once and for all that the cartels are powerful enough to not be afraid to engage a first world power militarily, meaning the political situation in the world has changed drastically. When the world’s only superpower cannot intimidate drug gangs into not staging military style assaults on our officials, citizens in those areas can no longer rely on the government to protect them.

Gun Sales Rise on Fears of an Obama Presidency

The fears aren’t unfounded. Clinton’s gun ban crippled many gun stores and increased the prices of assault weapons already in circulation to such a degree that the average Joe couldn’t afford them anymore. Buying guns now is hedging bets that when the next draconian gun law passes (and it will with a Obama win) people will have already purchased the guns targeted, meaning they can’t be seized and they’ll be immune from the inevitable price jump.

But Obama isn’t Bill Clinton and these aren’t the 90s Democrats in office. Gun buyers are counting on two things that may well not happen. The first is that guns already purchased will be “grandfathered” in, meaning they’ll be exempt from new laws. But that relies on Democrats fearing a backlash from gun owners, led by the N.R.A. and Republicans. I don’t see that in the Democrats who are preparing for full filibuster proof control of the government.

The second is that the Democrats won’t consider house to house gun confiscation. Again I don’t buy that from today’s Democrats. The Clintons were centrist Democrats and their justice department militarized the A.T.F. and allowed them to kick in plenty of people’s doors, including those who turned out to be innocent. Today’s Democrats have rejected the centrism of the Clintons, and with that the hope of Democrats’ reasonableness. Purchase a gun they have their eye on now, and you’ll be getting a no knock warrant served on you in about a year and a half.

I’m purchasing more guns now rather than later too, but I’m factoring in what Democrats will be willing to do now that they have absolute power and a base that has shifted far enough to the left as to be indistinguishable from European socialists. On the other hand the Dems have to be aware that a large segment of their base owns guns, so they can’t make a full press to ban them out of hand. I’m using these general guidelines:

  • Assault Weapons will be banned and it is unlikely Dems will Grandfather previously owned weapons. Curio and Relic license holders may be safe with collector’s arms such as the SKS. I’m not saying that you should dump your precious Ak, but why shell out $500+ on a second one now that someone will be confiscating it?
  • Handguns will be restricted. Look for at least magazine capacity limits, more likely some sort of universal licensing scheme. As in my former abode of New York City handguns will likely end up a privilege of the wealthy only. I’d purchase a revolver if looking for a handgun, because it’s more politically correct and move to a “red state” where the local legislature may challenge restrictive federal regulations.
  • Ammunition costs will increase. They already have due to material costs but the Democrats have floated measures like bullet taxes which are again designed to price the poor and middle classes out of exercising their Second Amendment rights. Decide on a few calibers you’ll need in an emergency and lay in a large supply. I started my battery with a 20ga Mossberg 500 (with the dreaded pistol grip!) and my newest acquisition is a Stoeger 20ga Coach Gun. So I’m buying up all the 20ga I can, plus .410 and .45 colt for my other emergency arms. Doing it now will save you money in the long run.
  • The ATF will be checking on your arsenal. If you live in a state where person to person paperless sales are still legal I’d go that route and cache arms in case the ATF goes nuclear after TEOTWAWKI. Otherwise pattern your gun collection to look more “sporty.” Cowboy action shooting is a fast growing sport for example, so lay in some side by sides and single actions. The Democrats will redefine guns as sporting goods so make sure your arsenal can pass as a typical sporting collection.

Look, it’s possible that the Democrats in charge will run to the center or, even better, bow to the “Blue Dogs” and not move on guns at all. It’s also possible I’ll stumble on buried treasure while planting my tomatoes. Neither are things it’d be wise to count on.

Survivalism has become more mainstream and with it the desire of more Americans to own top of the line assault weapons, the theory being that they’ll need quasi-military firepower to survive the hordes of zombies/road warrior extras/Illuminati foot soldiers that populate their post-apocalyptic fantasies. The hard truth is that if you can’t make your way through the world, apocalypse or not, with a shotgun and a good knife you aren’t surviving TEOTWAWKI, period. The Democrats are going to limit your ability to purchase the military style gear many armchair survivalists think will protect them in the bad times, so it’s time to start planning for a world where your hunting and self-defense needs will be filled by old fashioned rifles and shotguns.
