Fer cryin’ out loud. Sign guy clearly hasn’t occupied reality for a long, long time.

@redsteeze yeah, still going with ISIS

.@redsteeze So, he's "experiencing" Wall street now. Perhaps he should experience ISIS and then get back to us?

@redsteeze really? How many has Wall Street beheadings, and hung, and burned, and blown up. Idiots everywhere.

Gov. Bobby Jindal comes out against Gang of Eight immigration bill

http://twitter.com/#!/BobbyJindal/status/354673543646162944

Drawing a sharp contrast to Sen. Marco Rubio and several other well-known Republicans, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has come out against the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill.

Jindal supports amnesty for illegal aliens … but only after the border is secure. (The Gang of Eight bill grants amnesty before anything is done to secure the border.)  In addition, he supports a big increase in legal immigration:

This is going to help Jindal with grassroots conservatives:

It will be interesting to see if Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin and other amnesty supporters now try to smear Gov. Jindal (whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from India) as “anti-immigrant.”

For Fanta, Nazi Germany Was Apparently In The “Good Old Times”

Coca-Cola celebrated the 75th anniversary of Fanta with a video, in which they call Nazi Germany “good old times.” Now the company is disassociating itself from the video.

1. The video starts with an unassuming line: “75 years ago, resources for our beloved Coke in Germany were scarce.”

2. But why exactly were resources scarce in Germany at that time? Coca-Cola doesn’t mention that.

4. The workaround that Coca-Cola’s German branch had to that resource scarcity was a “fantastic idea,” as the video explains, hence why it’s called “Fanta.”

5. So Fanta was a direct result of the war. But Coca-Cola still thinks it was a fantastic idea and say so in the video: “To celebrate Fanta, we want to give you the feeling of the Good Old Times back.”

7. Here are just a few of pictures that the Internet has put together that could also help Coca-Cola remember the “good old times.”

Coca-Cola has not answered BuzzFeed Germany’s request for comment and the video has been taken down.

update

Fanta has confirmed the authenticity of the video in a call with BuzzFeed. They said they took it offline because of the “misleading part.” A spokesperson said the video will get updated. “We had no intention to call Nazi Germany ‘the good old times.’ We wanted to remind our customers of their childhood, like when we display the Coca-Cola bottle from the 1960s. Coca Cola disassociates itself in every from Nazi times.” BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () { document.getElementById(“update_article_update_time_5099744”).innerHTML = UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(‘2015-02-26 12:34:06 -0500’, ‘update’); });

Sally Kohn schooled after endorsing ‘ignorant’ claim about Kermit Gosnell

http://twitter.com/#!/OHCONSERVATISM/status/464572139925147648

CNN contributor Sally Kohn has doubled down on her claims that keeping abortion “affordable and legal” is the best way to prevent more Kermit Gosnells.

Kohn labeled as “#Truth” a statement she attributed to the president of NARAL that horrors like those perpetrated by convicted Pennsylvania abortionist are the result of too many restrictions on abortion access:

http://twitter.com/#!/sallykohn/status/464567598282461184

Restricted access?

Kohn was schooled on some Kermit Gosnell background:

http://twitter.com/#!/crousselle/status/464571870692782083

Um, yeah, well there’s that.

Kohn was also reminded that Gosnell wasn’t exactly working “under ground”:

Hopefully somebody can convince Ms. Kohn to watch #GosnellMovie after it’s finished, because the fundraising goal has been met.

Kohn was questioned about her pro-abortion position:

Very good question.
