Kim Jong Un Has Uncle  Executed

North Korean overlord Kim Jong Un will not have any bitch-ass traitors around and don't be pulling the family card cause that   don't fly with the Un-man. 

North Korea announced the execution of Kim Jong Un's uncle, calling the leader's former mentor a traitor who tried to overthrow the state.

Jang Song Tthaek, the uncle, was arrested along with his aides last month as part of a massive Stalin-like purge of everyone who was giving Kim Jong Un a pain in his ass at that particular time. For added fun, Kim Jong sent his own pistol-packing brother along to arrest Jang Song. And that wasn't all. Kim Jong's aunt went along for the ride too. Yup, the wife of the guy who got arrested. 

Sign Language Interpreter Inadvertently Embarrasses Obama

The Unknown Interpreter  

JOHANNESBURG (MFNS) - A man who provided sign language interpretation on stage for Nelson Mandela's memorial service, attended by scores of heads of state, was said to be a "fake", or was he?

South African sign language covers all of the country's 11 official languages, according to the director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa. It wasn't immediately clear if the unidentified man was using a different method to communicate the many speaker"s words.

Dr. Clone Swenson and a team of African sign language experts reviewed the tape of President Obama's speech and have come to a startling conclusion. 

Swenson told MFNS  "while we don't understand his method, the man did indeed translate a number of  phases correctly in African sign language".  We now believe the man was not interpreting President Obama's words, but his unconscious thoughts as he spoke.

"We believe he was a Psychic Interpreter, which would explain the correct interpretative signing of the phrases " I wear my wife's underwear" and "no fun here - wicked witch is watching" in the second paragraph of Obama's speech".  The team also found the interpreter correctly signed the phrase " 9 iron - sand-trap on the right"  in the sentence that followed.

"These are just a few examples we found", said Swenson," most of the interpretations couldn't be repeated in polite company you see". 

Some on the team are no so convinced, but could not give any explanation for the peppering of the translation from beginning to end with the correct signing of phases like "Raul is cool" and the obscure Kenyan words for "Hot Blonde" and "Boobies".

It's Time to Beat the Left With Their Own Wet Noddle

Introduce the Nelson Mandela Voter Protection Act

For years, conservatives have warned of voter fraud and pushed for stricter voter identification laws. Democrats hate these efforts since cheaters, convicted felons and the deceased tend to support liberal candidates. Instead of admitting their Dig Up The Vote strategy, the Democratic Party offers a nuanced argument against voter ID advocates: “YOU'RE RACIST!!!” It’s time to turn the tables.

As you can see in the photo, the lionized founder of modern South Africa was a big fan of voter identification. Strict ID requirements are the law of the land, helping to minimize voter fraud from Cape Town to Pretoria. Mandela understood that this simple law ensures that every voter of every race can make their voice heard on election day:

"Mandela’s legacy of turning South Africa from a violently discriminatory country to a nation in which open and fair elections take place has earned him a place in world history. The South Africa he left behind has a constitution described by The Economist as “one of the most progressive in the world.” Signed into law by Mandela two years after his historic 1994 election, the document has been praised because it “enshrines a wide range of social and economic rights as well as the more usual civil and political freedoms.”

That constitution allows for and supports a rigorous election integrity process far more stringent than anything GOP lawmakers have proposed ......"

The Left can honor their hero Mandela by calling for U.S. voter ID requirements be brought up to South African standards.  Voter registration in South Africa involves registering to vote on one of a handful of designated days or by making an appointment in advance at a Municipal Elections Office. Online voter registration and voting are not allows. “You have to apply for registration and vote in person with valid ID,” reads the government’s elections website.
Two of the common forms of identification and most easily forged, passports and drivers licenses, do not suffice for election ID purposes.

Michelle just can’t take young Barack anywhere......
