My source says this originated somewhere on Farcebook, but I have no idea where:

Brought a bottle of my now 11-year-old Concord pyment to share. It’s aged pretty well. :)

Two new beers so far, and the SNAFU meeting hasn’t even started yet. (In the glass: Monkey Paw Howler IPA.)
Iran’s War On Dogs
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” If that’s the case (and I’m inclined to believe that it is), what it says about Iran is not so good:
(Warning: there’s a rather nasty video (fortunately not on auto-play) near the top that shows just what kind of people (if we can call them that) we’re up against.)
On the eve of the Obama administration’s deal to pour $150 billion into the coffers of soon-to-be nuclear Iran, we should consider carefully the character of the government with which they have struck a bargain.
Iran has a government that mostly preaches death—death to Israel, death to America, death and more death. It also supports terrorism to kill Americans. So no one should be surprised at the major protests the deal has sparked, including the one headlined by Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz at the U.S. Capitol on September 9.
[…]
The ubiquity of beheadings and other horrific violence seems to have had a dangerous anesthetizing effect on all of us. So perhaps some Americans would better understand the sociopathic nature of the regime we’re promoting by getting a glimpse into its attitude on dogs. Its war on dogs.
This paragraph follows the video, which it describes:
Dejected and terrified, a stray dog whimpers as a man methodically injects her hindquarters with acid. The creature then writhes and shrieks in agony for interminable minutes. The animal is not dead yet when the executioner tosses her sobbing body onto a mass of carcasses. Next, a puppy is injected.

Will be heading out to visit Tabitha after breakfast…in the meantime, here’s a picture from last year.

Gun-grabbers who engage in SWATting should be prosecuted and imprisoned
In case you haven’t previously heard of it, “SWATting” is the practice of calling in a false report of criminal activity to 911, usually with the intent of getting a SWAT team to show up and catch the victim unaware. It’s not just highly dangerous, it’s illegal…but laws apparently aren’t for moonbats these days.
The latest tactic of the gun-grabbers is to call the cops if they merely see you open-carrying:
“You see a GunFilth waving its penis substitute, exit, call police. Armed robbery in progress.” So wrote Twitter user “Little Black Dog” on September 13 of this year.
The injunction was a particularly colorful one, but the idea behind it, alas, is not as uncommon as one might wish. “I see you #opencarry with a gun in public,” a man named “joe villa” threatened earlier this week, “i’m calling the cops. psycho behaving erratic. make your day.” A translation for the more literate among us: “The law be damned; exercise your rights under the law and I’ll threaten your life.”
“Take a look through the comments threads on Moms Demand Action’s Facebook page,” Bearing Arms’s Bob Owens tells me, “and you’ll see a lot of this.” “Not,” he clarifies,
from the leaders of the group. But it is a mindset popular among the followers. On there, on the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence — ironically — and on GunFreeZone.net, you’ll notice commenters advocating that people call the police and exaggerate what is going on, hoping to get the cops to come in.
This is inexcusable. They’re basically looking to get people killed for daring to exercise their rights. Anyone who SWATs a gun owner should be charged with attempted murder. If the situation escalates and someone is killed (as happened with Erik Scott), the charge should be upgraded to murder.
