Toomey on gun laws: GOP didn't want to be seen helping Obama

Reblogged from CNN Political Ticker:

(CNN) - Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania blamed political polarization for the failure of last month's background check compromise he reached with Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, saying some in his party simply voted against the measure to prevent the president from winning a legislative victory.

"In the end, it didn't pass because we're so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it," Toomey said.

THE DOOR TO HELL

1971. A group of Soviet Scientists were rooting around the small village of Dervaza. The village crucially lies in the Ahal Province of Turkmenistan, an area known for its abundance in one useful resource... Natural Gas. They found it.

Iranian Military Chief Vows Support for North Korea against the US

Underneath all of the rhetoric, this is the stuff that truly concerns me.

Iranian Military Chief Masood Jazayeri said if North Korea goes to war with the US, the armies of Iran will fully support and defend North Korea in their war effort against “the great Satan.”

I wonder what other allies are in the shadows of N. Korea, waiting to redefine the balance of power in the world with an all-out war against US.

Granted, our hands are not clean..never have been. We are a nation of hypocrisy. Being blessed with wealth and success does not give us the right to police the world. However, standing up for the causes of the poor, less fortunate, and the defense of righteousness is something that transcends borders, economics, and belief systems. 

These are scary times. I pray that God protects our troops and the people living in these regions. 

Can’t we all just harlem shake it out and call it a night? Lol.

Molly isn’t as innocent as she sounds.

References to Molly in hip-hop lyrics – such as Kanye West’s in “Mercy” (“Something about Mary, she gone off that Molly”) and those of 2 Chainz in “Beez in the Trap” (“Got your girl on Molly and we smoking loud and drinking”) – leaves listeners wondering who or what she is.

The moniker Molly was intended to refer to capsules of…
