This Kirstin Alvanitakis Meme Has Some Legs
Even if this shark doesn’t…
To see Kirstin running away from James O’Keefe and to get the back story, go to Rebel Pundit.
And to see lots more graphics, including one by James, himself, go to iOTWreport. First posted at Blog of MonteCristo. The best one might be this one from BigFurHat depicting Kirstin, the Democrat Party director for Louisiana, and Mary Landrieu driving their car off a cliff as Thelma and Louise. That’s especially appropriate today, since both of them are losing the Louisiana Senate run-off going on now.

Second Military Rescue Attempt in Two Weeks Fails with Two Hostages Dead in Yemen
British-born American photographer Luke Somers was killed by his captors early this morning during a U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six rescue attempt. A South African hostage, Pierre Korkie, was also killed. Quoted by the NY Times, President Obama said in a statement:
It is my highest responsibility to do everything possible to protect American citizens. As this and previous hostage rescue operations demonstrate, the United States will spare no effort to use all of its military, intelligence and diplomatic capabilities to bring Americans home safely, wherever they are located.
The President made no mention of his earlier failure to approve a rescue attempt for James Foley and Steven Sotloff until it was delayed for over a month and was eventually canceled. Those hostages were eventually beheaded on video. He also was vague about his role in repeated “stand down” orders that allowed Americans, including a U.S. Ambassador, to be slaughtered in Benghazi, Libya a few years ago. Further, his strong statement was immediately contradicted by political analysts, speaking anonymously, who assured members of the Press that this failure makes it almost certain that the President will never approve another rescue attempt again out of fear of this kind of failure. In short, nothing the President said this morning has even the remotest chance of resembling any kind of truth, so we can expect it to be widely reported today with total acceptance and enthusiasm by all Media except Fox News and the Jerusalem Post.

I’m dreaming of a color-blind Christmas
Police officers in Boynton Beach, Florida, responded to a 911 hang-up call made by a 2-year-old girl on Saturday — but they had no clue something so amazing would come out it. When they inquired about the accidental 911 call, the officers inadvertently learned the family was going through a tough time and wouldn’t be able to afford a Christmas tree or gifts this year.
But the officers weren’t annoyed by the accidental 911 call, they were motivated to help.
Boynton Beach police officer Terrence Paramore told NBC’s Today that the home the kids in the home “weren’t smiling” and didn’t appear to be happy.
“They were missing something,” he added.
As they left the home, Paramore and his partner, Barry Ward, were already on the same page. They devised a plan to surprise the family with a Christmas tree and ornaments to decorate it. So, they headed to the Home Depot and started throwing items in their cart.
The officers then activated their body cameras and delivered the Christmas surprise to the struggling family.
The look of pure joy on one of the children’s face, a 7-year-old girl, was more than worth the effort.
“I told my wife, ‘This is going to inspire people.’ It’s going to inspire people to go out and help other families. That’s the big thing with me, I just want to pass something on and keep it going,” Paramore said.
